Chapter 1378 Gifts
This time when Qu Jianlei comes out, no matter what, those who want to harm him will have nothing to worry about.
There is absolutely no grudge between them. If he doesn't care about this kind of thing where he is cheating others, then what's the point of cultivating immortality?
Xiao Moshan could only smile bitterly upon hearing this, "Lady Jing Yuexin also asks about it from time to time, but I really have no clue."
"But Senior Jia did say that it seemed like the Empire had launched a fierce attack on the Alliance..."
"Are you sure it's an alliance?" Qu Jianlei was not surprised by this answer, as the other party did have a lot of talismans in his hand at that time.
Seeing that the other party remained silent, he did not ask any more questions, "By the way, have you found out what I told you to do before the retreat?"
Xiao Moshan nodded when he heard this, "It's in the military warehouse, confirmed."
"Okay," Qu Jianlei nodded, "I'll deal with it later... Hey, you've also reached the peak of A-level?"
This time, he was really a little surprised, because it had not been long since Xiao Moshan advanced to Level A.
Not to mention compared with Xiangxue and Zi Jiuxian, he advanced to A-level much later than Youyou.
Moreover, it is very difficult to advance the wind attribute. The flower scorpion has been at level A for so long, and has just reached the highest level.
"I just reached the peak, which is a bit tricky," Xiao Moshan was able to face the gap, "I still need to accumulate experience, at least ten years."
"Being able to take shortcuts is a skill," Qu Jianlei wanted to comfort him, but suddenly his face turned serious and he raised his hand.
"Greetings, Senior Yi He!"
Yi He did not appear in the form of charcoal, but in the image of Taoist Gao Guan when we first met.
He raised his hand and said solemnly, "Congratulations to you on ascending to the immortal throne. May you live forever and have a bright future..."
After a pause, he added, "Well, I'm a casual cultivator, and I'm not good at being polite."
"But I don't have enough money for the gift of ascension to heaven... You took it all away. You can't blame me for that!"
Qu Jianlei couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "Forget it, I don't care. This is originally a world where immortals have disappeared."
"You, the senior, were the first to congratulate me on my ascension to heaven. This kindness alone is more important than anything else."
In fact, the empire is not short of such social interactions. Rumor has it that someone has advanced to the highest level and can hold banquets for a hundred days.
This is understandable. Once you reach the highest level, you don't need to care about anyone's eyes or worry about anyone frowning upon you.
However, only a minority of people do this, and only the nouveau riche would show off like this.
The more pleasure you feel when showing off, the more bad debts you will have to pay back in the future!
Therefore, even if most supreme beings want to celebrate, they will only invite a few tables of friends to get together.
The Supreme cannot be without a circle, but there are really not many people who are qualified to enter this circle.
And there is no such atmosphere at all in Qu Jianlei's team.
When someone advances to A-level or Supreme, it is enough for everyone to just say “congratulations”.
As for gifts? There were basically none. They were just a bunch of desperate criminals. What kind of ceremony was there?
But to say there is none at all is not right either.
Everyone knew who was about to advance to the highest level, so they ran out directly to search for magical weapons for their companions.
So we can only say that the ways of expression are different, one focuses on form and the other focuses on practicality.
Qu Jianlei and others are all desperate criminals, so of course they care more about practicality.
Many of those who pay attention to form do so just for the sake of appearances. Even if they secretly wish the other person dead, they will not show impoliteness on the surface.
How many people would secretly curse themselves for being stupid when they receive a phone call saying “I want to get married”?
So this kind of thing cannot be generalized, it probably depends on the other person's true intentions.
But no matter what, this sense of ritual... feels pretty good.
Maybe it's because I've never done this before, so it's just a little bit of novelty.
However, Taoist Gao Guan calmed down and said in a serious tone, "Fellow Daoist, you may have misunderstood. The word 'ascend to the immortal' cannot be used casually!"
"Not every transformation into a Nascent Soul can be called ascension to the Immortal Realm. For that there must be an Ascension Pillar..."
After he explained for a while, Qu Jianlei finally understood. So the white beam of light was actually used to guide the immortal cultivators to ascend to heaven?
So, it seems reasonable that the quality is better than that of Mrs. Jia.
The other party was willing to explain it this way, probably because he took into consideration that he did not have enough experience in this world where spiritual energy was forbidden.
But in the end, he still shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Ascending to heaven here... I might as well think about how to leave my body."
"Leaving the body... that's difficult," Taoist Gao Guan shook his head, "that can only be done with the secret techniques of each family."
Qu Jianlei was a little surprised when he heard this. "But did you solve the suspected out-of-body experience problems with Jing Yuexin and Duo Gan?"
Taoist Gaoguan continued to shake his head: "That was a last resort. Now that you have reached the Immortal Pillar, you must have higher aspirations."
Higher pursuit? Qu Jianlei was quite moved by what he heard, but he thought that other teammates might stop at the out-of-body state...
Bah, what nonsense are you imagining? Isn't that a bit too Versailles? Let's work hard to achieve out-of-body experience first, then think about other things.
Then he asked Xiao Moshan how he felt about his recent training in the mine.
Wuyingdao and Xiao Qin both felt that they were doing fine and did not need to enter the maze to practice for the time being.
Especially since there are robots mining and selling some ore from time to time, it seems like they are living a very enjoyable life to outsiders.
Since the two of them were content with the status quo, Qu Jianlei stopped asking questions and waited until night, then he quietly came to the place where he had undergone the tribulation.
To this day, this place is still cordoned off by the military and is guarded by special personnel.
He sensed for a long time but found no news about the alliance, so he went to the military area for another walk.
At this time, he could enter and leave the military area without having to worry about being discovered.
It turns out that the sunset can travel freely in space. This is the feeling. Being free really makes people relax physically and mentally.
Qu Jianlei sensed that there was a place on the outskirts of the military zone that seemed a little different.
Probably the Supreme Being in the legend! He didn't sense the other party's aura, but he was basically certain.
If we sense it in more detail, it should be certain, but... why bother?
There's really no need to alarm the military and the Supreme Being and make everyone else alert, which won't achieve any purpose!
Then he found a teleportation array and teleported directly to the starship wandering near Tianfeng.
This starship was provided by Dorgan. When he came up, only Yuanyuan and Claire were on duty.
Needless to say, they were both pleasantly surprised to see the boss coming.
Claire looked him up and down for a long time, and finally asked, "Everyone says you've gotten shorter, how come I can't tell?"
Qu Jianlei gave her a slap on the face and asked, "Where are the others?"
Most of the others were on regimental-level ships and experimental platforms, which had become everyone's mobile training base in space.
Then the starship started, and seven days later, it reunited with the regimental-level ship far away in the Blade Star Region.
Everyone was very happy to see the boss come out, only Da Vinci felt a little unnatural.
But after all, he has been at the top of the list for many years, and his ability to resolve awkwardness is also first-rate.
"Congratulations, Boss, for successfully completing this feat of reaching the Supreme. I have prepared 50 billion energy blocks as a gift."
This is what people who know how to speak are like. Even if they know that the other person has ulterior motives, they will not feel disgusted.
Qu Jianlei smiled and waved his hand, "This gift is a bit heavy, senior, I am already very grateful that you have such a heart."
"It's not that expensive," Da Vinci shook his head indifferently, "A complete magic weapon costs more than this amount of money."
It turns out that in the recent market for magical instruments, prices are still continuing to soar, and the starting price of a complete magical instrument is hundreds of billions.
Thinking about the previous auction of the sacred items, the current prices seem... really a bit sad.
However, Qu Jianlei said that he would not accept gifts without merit, "When I was overcoming the tribulation, it was thanks to the protection of the seniors, which was already a great favor."
Even without Da Vinci, he still has his own team to protect him, but this way, his background is exposed.
Theoretically speaking, the secret of Digital Phantom cannot be kept forever, and exposure is only a matter of time.
However, the later the exposure is, the stronger the team will be and the greater the ability to resist risks will be.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration for him to say "great favor", even if he admits that he owes someone a favor, it doesn't matter.
But I guess the other party has other plans, and this great favor will probably have to be repaid soon.
Thank you so much... Da Vinci couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart, I was clearly detained by Jia Shuiqing, okay?
But at this time, there was no need for him to care. Since the other party admitted that he owed him a favor, everything could be discussed.
He smiled and said, "Even without me, you can still succeed in reaching the next level, Boss. There is no doubt about the strength of Digital Phantom."
"What I have done is nothing more than icing on the cake. I don't deserve such praise."
After a pause, he changed the subject, "But the light column that came later... I wonder what it means?"
Qu Jianlei naturally wouldn't talk about ascending the Immortal Pillar or anything like that. Wouldn't that tarnish the spiritual aspirations of his teammates?
Just like now, Old Mrs. Jia is staring at her expectantly, obviously waiting for an answer.
Qu Jianlei smiled and answered casually, "After overcoming the calamity, there is the feedback of the will of heaven and earth, and the light column is just a manifestation of it."
Old Mrs. Jia didn't think this was the real answer, because when she asked Xizhao, he always avoided the question.
But for Leonardo da Vinci, this was an answer that was close to the truth.
He nodded when he heard this, and then asked, "There is no such celestial phenomenon when the Supreme is undergoing the tribulation, but there is one above the Supreme?"
The two times he had heard of the supreme tribulation were by Ran Bingluan and Yuanyuan, but neither time had this kind of strange phenomenon.
Qu Jianlei nodded confidently, "Yes, the Supreme is not yet at this level."
"Okay, I have finished my questions," Da Vinci nodded slightly, "I have something to discuss with you later."
He has made up his mind to join, but it is difficult to say such things in front of outsiders.
"Please wait a moment, senior," Qu Jianlei waved his hand slightly and spoke seriously.
"Although I have received favors from my predecessors and do not need gifts, we still need these 50 billion energy blocks."
"Let's calculate the loan first, I wonder if it's feasible?"
