#2028 - Connect to the upper world
City Lord Huo's words were sincere and heartfelt, and it felt like he was speaking from the bottom of his heart.
Unfortunately, Qu Jianlei is not a rookie and will not be easily shaken.
He wasn't even interested in judging whether what the other person said was true or false.
He shook his head, "Poor thing, I'll give you a weapon and energy block worth one million spirit stones, but don't mess with the Five Friends Alliance in the future, okay?"
"I..." City Lord Huo really wanted to curse. Who was he looking down on? Did he know how much the daily turnover of Daye City was?
But after thinking about it again, he really didn't dare to scold, "Master Qu Ling, I really want to talk."
"You have no choice. What are you talking about?" Jia Shuiqing couldn't help it. "Just because of the word 'city lord'?"
Unexpectedly, the book boy didn't react at all this time.
City Lord Huo glanced at her, but he was not angry. Instead, he pointed at the jade slips and said, "Put them away first. Can we chat for a while?"
"Wouldn't it have been better if you had said this earlier?" Jia Shuiqing didn't ask the boss for permission and just put it away.
There was a moment of silence, and then Qu Jianlei spoke up, "Tell me what you want, just say it."
"Detectors, laser weapons, and energy blocks," Huo Jiujian was really honest this time.
"Contact the Five Friends Alliance," Qu Jianlei answered more bluntly, "There is no basis for mutual trust between you and me, so let's leave it at that."
"That's easy to say," Unexpectedly, Huo Jiujian was not angry.
But then he changed the subject, "But let me remind you that the Star Palace is also looking for a place for Red Leaf Ridge to settle in Zhongzhou."
Immortal Yong Heng, who had been listening, changed his expression when he heard the words, "City Lord Huo, isn't this a bit too much?"
Since you can't negotiate with us, you use the Star Palace to threaten us?
Huo Jiu saw that his eyelids were drooping, and he said nothing, neither admitting nor refutating.
Upon hearing this, Qu Jianlei laughed, "So City Lord Huo is trying to steal business from the Xingchen Palace. He's really brave!"
Huo Jiu raised his eyelids when he heard the words, looked at him deeply, and then nodded slightly, "Hongyeling is indeed a good partner."
"Oh my god... have you been testing me like this for so long?" Immortal Yongheng finally reacted.
He was really a little unwilling to accept it. In terms of age, no one present was older than him, and he had seen enough things.
How come I fell into this trick today?
Huo Jiujian looked at him calmly and said lightly, "It's not that you can't see through it, but you simply can't stand at this height."
These words may sound a bit insulting, but they are actually true and heartfelt.
Although Yongheng is the boss of the Five Friends Alliance, he does not have the ability to take the lead in the dialogue between the two parties and his vision is narrow.
"You are honest," Qu Jianlei nodded slightly, "You are so brave to cut off the path of the Star Palace, Old Huo!"
"What's wrong with that?" Huo Jiujian said disapprovingly, "This is my territory, I have the final say."
"It's my own interest," Qu Jianlei said straightforwardly, "You need to understand that if I want to contact the Star Palace, it will be very convenient."
"Then why didn't you contact them when you came to Zhongzhou?" Huo Jiu smiled strangely, "Maybe you have some concerns?"
"Huh? You have some ideas," Qu Jianlei was not angry but happy when he heard that. "Everyone else, please step back. Let's talk."
"That's right," City Lord Huo nodded, "Yes, Shu Tong, you also step back."
Everyone else stepped back a long way, and the two began to discuss something in whispers.
Although Jia Shuiqing retreated very far, but... everyone knows that he is a street slicker with spiritual consciousness.
About half an hour later, she flashed and came to the side of the two people who were talking.
As soon as she moved, the servant boy subconsciously dodged and was not much slower than her.
At this moment, Qu Jianlei was looking at Huo Jiujian sincerely, "Laser weapons can be discussed, but transcending the tribulation... is really not possible!"
"It's a complete version of the Out-of-Body Technique!" City Lord Huo had a ferocious look on his face, "Not a partial version!"
"I know all the junk you collected in the past...Fellow Daoist Qu, I advise you to learn your lesson!"
Qu Jianlei spread his hands, "Then we can't come to an agreement? Even if the deal doesn't go through, we still have friendship."
"Try to resist the scale of that demon... If one of you survives among ten of you, I will give you a method of leaving the body!"
City Lord Huo was about to say something else, but when he noticed there were a few more people around him, he finally shut up.
He took a few quick breaths, "The Eight-armed Ape has been taken... Do you want it?"
"Eight-armed ape?" Qu Jianlei frowned. He was a little confused about the name, but why did it seem familiar...
Then his eyes suddenly lit up, "Him, can you take him down?"
"That's right," City Lord Huo nodded, "Bring the person to you?"
"What do I need you for?" Qu Jianlei raised his eyebrows in surprise. "Just do whatever you want with me. I want the Seven Star Needle Manual."
"No way?" City Lord Huo was stunned when he heard this. "He didn't, didn't, didn't wrongly accuse the members of Red Leaf Ridge?"
A slave...should be considered a member, right? He is a golden elixir after all.
"It has been cleaned up a long time ago, and the Seven Stars Sect has also paid compensation," Qu Jianlei replied casually, "I want a needle book!"
He knew very well that the most satisfying way to take revenge was to kill his enemy with his own hands, and Wu Laoliu would surely value such an opportunity.
But things don’t work that way. In the eyes of these people, how big a deal is the life of a Jindan?
The Seven-Star Acupuncture Book is more valuable, it is a means to save lives!
Even if it may just be a replica, if it exists, it exists, and if it doesn’t exist, it really doesn’t exist!
Thinking further, what does this Jindan Zhenren called Eight-Armed Ape have after losing the Seven-Star Acupuncture Book?
At that time, Wu Laoliu could easily find a few followers to kill him if he raised his arm.
However, if you talk about how much Qu Jianlei values the Seven-Star Acupuncture Book...it is certainly a good thing, but he had not been very interested in it before.
He didn't want to cause trouble in Zhongzhou and hoped to integrate into the country step by step. Things that were not related to the overall situation could be dealt with slowly.
He had come to Zhongzhou many times, and even with the tacit approval of the Seven Stars Sect, he had never considered going to look for the eight-armed ape.
Otherwise, he only needs to do some divination, and at least he will get some clues.
However, the priority of this matter is really not high. He doesn't care even if the eight-armed ape is killed by a gangster.
Unexpectedly, instead of him taking action, the people in Zhongzhou helped him to accomplish it.
Thinking of this, he also felt a little emotional: It is true that when you become powerful, there will be people around you who will try every means to please you.
"That's fine," City Lord Huo was a little helpless, "but the repair fluid... five bottles per month, one thousand upper spirits."
"You..." Qu Jianlei was a little helpless, "Old Huo, you can't be so proud anymore."
He has agreed to provide a certain share of laser weapons, and also agreed to exchange the Nascent Soul Technique for repair fluid.
Anyway, given the status of Daye City Lord's Mansion, it is not difficult to obtain some martial arts techniques.
In addition, the other party required a set of out-of-body skills as the entry threshold, but he also gave out ten bottles of repair fluid as a return gift, which was quite considerate.
Of course, these transactions have to involve the Five Friends Alliance. He has not forgotten his old friends, and Huo Jiujian also needs white gloves to operate.
In addition to these transactions, Hongyeling will also provide advice and solutions for future demonic incidents that Daye City may encounter.
When necessary, they are also obliged to help - but City Lord Huo also emphasized that it will be paid.
These negotiated contents are a packaged solution. Otherwise, do you really think that the out-of-body skills are so easy to obtain?
But now this new deal, exchanging the Seven-Star Needle Book for five bottles of repair fluid every month, really made him feel a bit overwhelmed.
In theory, he doesn't lose money since the other party spends money on purchasing, but he really cannot guarantee a stable supply.
Supplying it for one or two years, or three to five years, is not a problem, but who knows how many years the demons will wreak havoc?
The key point is that Zhongzhou is still considering some kind of sky-locking formation, which cannot be solved with just a few doses of repair fluid.
"I know the quantity is limited," Huo Jiujian was no unreasonable person. How could there be too many of such a precious thing?
Moreover, the opponent's strength also made him have to be reasonable. "But a steady stream of water... shouldn't be a big problem, right?"
Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes at him and shook his head weakly, "Resources are really limited, and I have to give priority to Dongsheng."
In the Cangwu world, "not forgetting one's roots" is a very good quality, otherwise it will seriously affect one's reputation.
With Hongyeling's reputation, it doesn't matter if it has a good reputation. But since it has successfully built up its character, it should always be cherished, right?
"Dongsheng..." Huo Jiu smiled indifferently. How many space magic weapons could there be there?
However, it was a bit offensive to say this to the Dongsheng cultivator, so he said seriously, "What resources do you need? Tell me!"
Qu Jianlei glanced at him and laughed, "So you're waiting for me here?"
Huo Jiu was not annoyed when he saw his thoughts were exposed. He just said seriously, "This thing is really needed urgently."
"If we can connect to the upper realm, maybe we can find a replacement. Now we really have no choice."
This brought up the question that Qu Jianlei was interested in. He asked calmly, "Isn't the Star Palace able to connect to the upper realm?"
Huo Jiujian shook his head, "They are really a little bit behind. Maybe they can get better if they move to the Four Sacred Mountains."
"But how big of a deal is it for the upper realm if the demons invade?"
Isn't it a big deal? Qu Jianlei was puzzled, but he had to pretend to nod, "Yes."
Huo Jiujian noticed his attitude, paused, and then spoke calmly.
"Then when will the upper realm take action? Do we have to wait until half of the Cangwu realm is damaged?"
Qu Jianlei didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this. "You ask me this question, who should I ask?"
