Chapter 2278 Revisited
Using the Asura World as a pretext to exchange for a fifth-tier spiritual vein? Suddenly, True Venerable Hanli completely understood Qu Jianlei's thoughts.
“Hmm, that’s quite interesting,” he nodded slightly, “but then it won’t be a simple matter.”
Qu Jianlei was slightly surprised by the change in his attitude.
Since the other party was being so straightforward, he wasn't afraid to ask, "Your Excellency doesn't object to me raising the requirements?"
"This..." True Venerable Han Li did not answer directly, but pondered for two or three seconds before asking, "Do you have any relevant plans?"
"I have some general ideas," Qu Jianlei had already thought of quite a few, but it was better to be humble in front of the Great Venerable.
In fact, when he makes plans, he usually only sets a framework and rarely gets bogged down in the details, focusing on adaptability.
For someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder, this feeling is terrible.
But there was no other way; he encountered too many situations where "plans couldn't keep up with changes," and he was purely forced into it.
Fortunately, he was still sharp enough, and over time he got used to it, to the point that most of the team members adopted this style as well.
Han Li Zhenzun raised an eyebrow. "Tell me about it?"
"Hmm?" Qu Jianlei looked at him suspiciously. What do you mean by this? "Does the Grand Venerable intend to take over the spiritual vein matters?"
“It’s not that we can’t discuss it,” Han Li Zhenzun replied calmly, “but ultimately it’s your business, so let’s not try to take it on.”
Qu Jianlei raised his eyebrows in surprise, never expecting that this price increase would actually be such a huge profit.
However, there's no such thing as a free lunch. He tentatively asked, "Not the Great Venerable's spiritual vein?"
"You wish!" True Venerable Han Li replied without hesitation, "I'm not that wasteful."
“Then we can’t let the Grand Master take the lead in this whole thing,” Qu Jianlei replied quickly.
"Hmm?" Even Han Li Zhenzun hadn't expected this guy to be so quick-witted, seeing through his scheme in one sentence.
But then again, it's not surprising. How could someone lead a group of people through so many things and still live a peaceful and stable life?
But when it comes to these things, he will still fight for them when the time comes.
Like Qu Jianlei, Han Li Dazun is not stingy and doesn't bother with small matters, but that doesn't mean he can disregard big interests.
He said without hesitation, "Then let's make the decision together and discuss it."
"This is against the rules," Qu Jianlei said sternly. "What constitutes an expedition? There must be the most authoritative voice!"
"Did I wrong you?" True Venerable Han Li rolled his eyes at him. Don't you even know your own cultivation level?
"That won't do!" Qu Jianlei shook his head firmly. "Has the Great Venerable never participated in an expedition?"
"The leader doesn't necessarily have the highest cultivation level, but they must have plenty of experience!"
"Who are you underestimating?" True Venerable Hanli replied dismissively.
Ultimately, however, he still said, "You can make the decisions about the expedition, but I want a fair voice, is that... okay?"
He really wanted to say that this was his bottom line, but then he thought, this guy is ridiculously stubborn, what if he refuses?
Is this a final act of defiance? Qu Jianlei pondered for a moment and nodded, "Then it's settled!"
"Let's discuss inviting a few people over now," Han Li Zhenzun's efficiency was truly extraordinary.
"I think three Astral Projections are enough. I'll count myself as one, and if I were to recommend two more..."
No wonder he insisted on having a say; he was just waiting here.
"Wait a moment..." Immortal Jin Ge appeared in a flash, "I must be there, there's no room for discussion!"
"You call yourself a Nascent Soul cultivator?" True Venerable Han Li scoffed disdainfully, but after a moment's thought, he nodded. "You don't take up a spot!"
Jin Ge Zhenxian raised his hand and pointed at the other party speechlessly, "Remember what I said today."
Han Li Zhenzun completely ignored him, "I have a friend with considerable combat strength. Leave the matter of inviting him to me, and also..."
"Your Excellency, please wait a moment," Qu Jianlei couldn't take it anymore, "You decide all the Immortal Venerable slots?"
Han Li Zhenzun glanced at him, "This is just an invitation from a member, it doesn't involve the expedition process, anyway, you're not familiar with Houde Realm!"
"Don't just talk like that!" Qu Jianlei shook his head decisively. "No, they're all your people. How can I take the lead?"
Han Li Zhenzun glanced at him again, "You just need to lead the way. I want to guarantee you the right to decide on the distribution of resources in the Asura World!"
Qu Jianlei was pondering, but Jin Ge Zhenxian already understood: "What makes you think you can be a pioneer?"
It turns out there's a reason behind this behavior; the cultivation world has conquered so many other worlds that it has formed a set of mechanisms.
Whoever discovers the other world first and takes control of the situation will be subject to appropriate management by other forces if they want to enter!
Han Li didn't initially consider a comprehensive strategy because while such an approach could yield significant benefits, it would also present many challenges.
He thought, wouldn't it be a great thing to take a leisurely trip, explore, and seek opportunities along the way?
If he really finds an opportunity and gets it, he will only consider similar actions when he has free time.
Because that's not just a little troublesome; there are just too many things to worry about.
Little did anyone expect that this little Nascent Soul had already considered taking a comprehensive approach to conquering the Asura world.
True Venerable Hanli had no right to criticize the other party, nor did he have the strength to forcibly stop them, and he did not want to create unnecessary karma.
This forced him to change his mind and get involved first!
"The right to speak?" Qu Jianlei blinked. "You're thinking a lot."
Actually, he was quite familiar with similar tactics and had seen them more than once or twice.
The monopoly of the world passage by the two major Asura tribes, and the management of the Forgotten Peninsula forbidden area by the Star Palace... are all examples of this.
But the problem is, isn't this great one a bit too impatient? You haven't even secured your place in the other world yet.
“Of course,” Han Li Zhenzun answered without hesitation, “since you can’t protect it anyway, it’s fine as long as you have equal privileges.”
“Hey,” Jin Ge Zhenxian couldn’t help but snort, “Does Master Quling mean, why you, and not someone else?”
I really had to say this, and it's absolutely true.
"Because I promised to help him seize a fifth-tier spiritual vein," True Venerable Hanli replied calmly. "Are you capable?"
Upon hearing this, Jin Ge Zhenxian was speechless. This was "seizing" a spiritual vein—it was seizing!
Then he couldn't help but ask, "What about the related costs?"
The handsome young man gave him a speechless look. "You think I'd take the profits from an Asura world for free?"
Even with only moderate management, how much can one gain from conquering an entire world?
Why did he so confidently demand a voice? It was because he knew that Qu Jianlei wanted to raise funds through the Asura World!
Since that's the case, he'll take over a fifth-tier spiritual vein; any associated costs are his responsibility.
However, he couldn't let Qu Jianlei stay out of it, because even if he was a Great Venerable, he still needed to have a legitimate reason for doing things!
However, Jin Ge Zhenxian did not believe that a fifth-order spiritual vein could be worth the benefits of an entire world. "Isn't that a bit greedy?"
“That depends on how big that world is,” Han Li Zhenzun said seriously, showing he could also do the math.
Then he looked at Qu Jianlei and said, "I get priority for the management profits. After offsetting the debts, we'll split it 30/70, okay?"
"Of course," Qu Jianlei nodded without hesitation, "Thank you for your kindness, Immortal Venerable!"
He truly hadn't expected that True Venerable Han Li would be so meticulous in his actions, and that he would also receive a share of the profits from conquering the other world in the future.
It's so comfortable to work with people who value integrity.
As for the other party's desire for a voice... since they are so responsible, he naturally has no objections.
Even if it's only 37, without the help of a Nascent Soul Grandmaster, his Nascent Soul team is simply not qualified to collect management fees!
“I say, Lord Quling,” Jin Ge Zhenxian blinked and winked as he spoke, “this income…”
"That's enough," Qu Jianlei couldn't help but say, "Have I ever treated you badly? Think about the Tree Clan!"
What price did True Venerable Han Li pay to obtain a coordinate? You didn't pay anything!
"The Tree Clan?" The handsome young man raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, glancing thoughtfully at Qu Jianlei. "Another alternate world?"
"The two worlds are not far apart," Qu Jianlei replied calmly. This news could not be kept secret.
Once you go to the Asura world, you'll naturally learn about the Federation, and then follow the Alliance to reach the Tree Clan world... Is that difficult?
"Don't let this iron lump be in charge of management!" True Venerable Hanli said without hesitation.
"As if I'm interested," Jin Ge Zhenxian replied nonchalantly. "Don't I know better than you how troublesome management is?"
"Anyway, I'm not short of money... Wait, short of money?"
He turned his head and looked at Qu Jianlei in astonishment, clearly thinking of a huge debt.
“Once you agree to his request, the Lingyun Sect will extend its reach,” True Venerable Hanli said calmly.
"He's a lump of iron, and his words don't carry enough weight in the sect. It's just a waste for others to benefit from him."
Qu Jianlei raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, "Great Venerable One, you...aren't you from the Lingyun Sect?"
He really didn't know Han Li Zhenzun's background, he didn't dare to ask, and no one else took the initiative to tell him either.
"I guess I have some connection with Ling Yun," the handsome young man replied casually. "Otherwise, I wouldn't be staying nearby."
Then his expression turned serious. "How about I take over the Tree Clan World too... a 30/70 split, you get 70% and I get 30%!"
"Stop," Jin Ge Zhenxian couldn't help but say, "When did you become so shameless?"
Han Li Zhenzun didn't bother with him at all. "A guy who doesn't even have personal freedom has the nerve to comment on others."
"Alright, alright," Qu Jianlei quickly advised, as this was a major taboo for the Sage, who hated it most when others mentioned his inhuman identity.
When he was giving his own assessment, he said that it was fine, but it wouldn't be acceptable if others said it, let alone if it was disrespectful.
If he didn't speak up, the two of them would start fighting. "Let's discuss the matters of the Tree Clan world later; there's no rush."
"Discuss it again?" Han Li Zhenzun looked at him with a slightly strange expression. "Aren't we very close?"
This time, at least three True Venerables will be going, plus Jin Ge, this half-baked fellow. If we get caught, who will talk to you again?
