Chapter 1154: Chapter 1020: The Importance of Support

Qu Jianlei generally doesn’t like to vent his anger, but this Fire Attribute Supreme really has no sense of propriety.

A mere weakling, what are you showing off for in front of me?

”Report your name?” The Fire Attribute was momentarily stunned, then laughed, looking at the accompanying A-level.

”There’s really a lot of inexplicable people around, actually asking for my name.”

Then he looked at Qu Jianlei, speaking with a hint of mockery, ”Since you asked me... shouldn’t you report your name first?”

Qu Jianlei looked at him indifferently, remaining silent, his gaze very calm.

The person opposite did not show any weakness, meeting his gaze without any intention of backing down.

At that moment, the Nutrient Injection finally spoke, ”Sir, is this booklet very important?”

”If you really want it, I can find a way to handle it.”

Qu Jianlei pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded.

It’s an embarrassing thing, but there’s no choice, even a penny can stump a hero, let alone ten billion.

”You pay first,” the Nutrient Injection spoke calmly, ”I’ll handle the rest.”

Qu Jianlei began to take out money from the Storage Talisman, a bundle of nameless silver notes with a face value of ten thousand each.

One large bundle is ten smaller bundles, worth ten million, ten billion... it takes a hundred large bundles to be enough.

The Fire Attribute Supreme’s expression changed slightly upon seeing this.

He’s not new to society, carrying so much cash around... there’s no need to guess the origin.

Competing with such desperados for treasures could bring unnecessary trouble, is it worth it?

He hesitated, but the solo Supreme beside him spoke up, ”Twelve billion!”

I—damn... Qu Jianlei glanced at this guy indifferently—it’s also a weakling with Water Attribute, isn’t it.

This one actually looked provocatively at him, speaking with a hint of arrogance, ”If you can’t afford it, don’t pretend, put down my book!”

Do you not know how to write the word ”death”? Qu Jianlei’s lips curled slightly.

However, his wallet was short, really couldn’t be firm, he could only look at the stall owner—do you have any principles?

Yet the helmeted stall owner was indifferent—this isn’t about principles, who has a grudge against money?

At that moment, the Nutrient Injection calmly quoted, ”Thirteen billion.”

Although he’s just A-level, with a Supreme beside him, and this being a business setting, the highest bidder wins.

Water Attribute Supreme glanced at him and spoke indifferently, ”Fifteen billion!”

The Nutrient Injection’s mouth moved slightly but finally didn’t bid higher—obviously, actively increasing the bid by a billion was already the limit.

The shop fell into silence.

Someone passed by the shop, looked like they wanted to come in, but sensing the oppressive atmosphere inside, dared not step through the door.

After about two minutes, the stall owner spoke, ”Nameless silver notes are needed.”

The Water Attribute Supreme was momentarily stunned, then glared at Qu Jianlei fiercely—damn it, all your doing.

Qu Jianlei was glared at, almost retaliated on the spot, damn it, you dare to glare at me?

Though he used to have a bad temper, could skillfully control his anger, quickly dropped his eyelids, showing a disinterested look.

”Humph,” the Water Attribute Supreme snorted lightly, feeling he had suppressed the opponent, then shifted his gaze to the stall owner.

”Didn’t bring that many nameless silver notes, would the Imperial Capital Energy Fund, which recognizes the notes not the person, work?”

The stall owner clearly hesitated, then subconsciously nodded, ”Of course!”

Most of the Empire’s most trusted funds are in the Imperial Capital.

Of course, this is a sufficient but not necessary condition; not all funds in the Imperial Capital are reliable.

But the Energy Fund is absolutely among the most trusted, because of the substantial dividends, it’s hard to find at a premium on the market.

This is even harder currency than nameless silver notes, the stall owner has no reason to refuse.

Qu Jianlei put down the booklet, turned to walk out, his Spiritual Power deliberately fluctuated momentarily.

The Nutrient Injection followed him out, it was embarrassing to this extent, no need to watch the opponent’s transaction, right?

After walking a distance, he hummed lightly, ”With the Energy Fund, this guy has quite a background.”

Qu Jianlei spoke expressionlessly, ”Hehe, I became someone’s touchstone!”

Having encountered such a situation, he felt embarrassed to continue strolling in Wanbao Square, and left with the Nutrient Injection.

After walking a while, the Nutrient Injection finally couldn’t hold back, ”What actually is that Divine Texts booklet?”

”It’s about Five Elements utilization,” Qu Jianlei replied solemnly, ”Not only can you cultivate using Five Elements Crystal, but there’s a chance to form a Battle Array.”

This was not feared to be spoken, as he had obtained the Five Elements Crystal in Celestial Hook Enigma Mansion, but hadn’t found a suitable way to use it.

However, in the Awakened’s legacy, it seems someone can use the Crystal, he just hadn’t delved into it previously.

In his thought, Five Elements Crystals are also aid for cultivation; even if more effective than a Spirit Gathering Array, how much stronger can they be?

Moreover, Qinghu had mentioned prior that Five Elements Crystal can be used for cultivation.

She wasn’t clear on the specifics, but this indicates that within the Awakened’s system, someone is researching this technique.

Until today, upon seeing this booklet, Qu Jianlei could finally confirm that the Imperial has indeed acquired some information in this regard.

He only flipped through two pages, and the methods recorded for the application of the Five Elements were vastly different from the system of the Awakened.

This is genuine cultivation heritage, capable of perfectly filling the gaps of the Five Elements, building a strong foundation.

In Qu Jianlei’s team, more than one person was already on the verge of breaking through, and he himself was about to reach the Nascent Soul Realm.

At this moment, perfecting the foundation can enhance the success rate of breaking through, which is naturally very important.

In the general outline of the first two pages, there was even a simple explanation of the interaction between the Five Elements, essentially a description of a Five Elements Battle Array.

Qu Jianlei had long known from Blue Star’s classics about battle arrays like the Two Principles, Three Talents, Four Symbols, and others.

But he only knew about them; as for how to use them practically, he was completely in the dark.

Still, for the same reason, he had previously gotten used to doing things his own way, basically not needing a battle array for coordination.

Even later, when he had teammates, his strength improved so rapidly that it was difficult to find a few partners for coordination.

So, while his team’s combat style became more skilled in coordination on the battlefield, they never formed a battle array.

Each team member had their own fighting style.

In the current situation, Qu Jianlei did not believe that battle arrays were indispensable, since there were still too few people in the team.

But wouldn’t the team eventually expand? Deciphering a battle array also adds to the team’s foundation.

Most importantly, through deciphering the Five Elements Battle Array, he might very well touch upon the core principles of battle arrays.

With such gains, it would definitely be much easier to decipher other battle arrays.

In short, although this booklet mostly contained auxiliary methods, it would be of considerable help to him.

The reason Qu Jianlei dared to speak to the Nutrient Injection about this matter was largely due to the Imperial having made significant explorations in this area.

On this basis, he could stand out, as long as he didn’t appear too conspicuous.

”Is that so?” Upon hearing this, Nutrient Injection actually paused slightly in shock.

He was well aware of the importance of what the other party was talking about, so he pondered for a moment before asking.

”Do you want me to hire someone to retrieve the item?”

Qu Jianlei was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head.

He wasn’t addicted to killing, and if he could have others do the fighting, he naturally wouldn’t take the risk himself.

But hiring someone to retrieve the item raised an issue of ownership.

A small A-level might be able to get the booklet for him, but what about the favor owed?

He didn’t believe the knowledge of the Five Elements couldn’t be shared — it’s likely that the Imperial already had ample knowledge stored in this field.

But being obtained so easily, wouldn’t that be too cheap?

He replied deeply, ”I can handle this myself, but it might trigger some reactions. Can you help clean up afterward?”

Nutrient Injection thought for a while, then nodded, ”That’s easy to say... Are you this highly skilled in divine texts?”

I knew you’d be interested! Qu Jianlei wasn’t surprised by the question.

The little guy just mentioned helping him with related expenses, could it come for free?

Smoothing things over for a small A-level, no matter how resourceful, wouldn’t easily hand out billions—there’s no such logic in the world.

Therefore, the other party’s intentions were obvious, seeing the value in this booklet.

In fact, Qu Jianlei highly suspected that the Water Attribute Supreme who just raised the price to forcefully buy the booklet, did so because of his intervention.

Not just any divine text booklet can sell for billions, let alone an incomplete one.

The buyer wasn’t short of money, discovered probably a reason, and raised the price decisively.

Thus, regarding this issue, Qu Jianlei didn’t hold back much, ”In terms of divine texts... I know a bit.”

Nutrient Injection pondered for a moment, still nodded, ”Alright... Do you want me to help find that person’s location?”

The guy just now seemed very aggressive, but undoubtedly, no one would think that a Supreme could be casually provoked.

Next, that individual would most likely either team up with other Supremes or find a place to hide.

Qu Jianlei shook his head slightly, ”No need, I have a way to find him, just worried the battle might get too loud, making it hard to handle the aftermath.”

”Leave it to me,” Nutrient Injection stated again, ”I’ll arrange for it now.”

Watching him leave directly, Qu Jianlei reminded, ”When you’re alone, be careful.”

Not looking back, Nutrient Injection nodded slightly, then released a motorcycle, disappearing in an instant.

He rode for about half an hour and then stopped by the roadside, put away the Pioneer, and took out a communicator.

”Who does that Supreme who just bought the divine text booklet belong to?”

The other party reported a name, and he pondered for a while, then sighed.

”Forget it, don’t bother. Since someone wants to forcibly take what others fancy, they should bear the corresponding consequences.”

”By the way, don’t release any more prepared divine text booklets for now; too many unruly people around!”
