Chapter 1171: Chapter 1037: The Path to Wealth

The paranoid one, tough-skinned and thick-fleshed, hanging on the big tree, wasn’t hurt much.

Instead, that large tree trunk was partly destroyed by his impact.

”Damn it...” Paranoid uttered a curse, couldn’t help it, it was too embarrassing.

The key point was that among his companions, several had a cultivation level not much lower than his, and with a sweep of their spiritual power, everything was clear.

Having such strong companions isn’t necessarily a good thing; for once, the paranoid found himself sighing over this...

Regardless, the Instant Flash Technique given by Qu Jianlei was specially modified by him, vastly different from the original version.

If someone skilled in divine text compared it to the original, they would hardly think it was the same cultivation technique.

Moreover, he had previously fully communicated with the nutrient injection, knowing where the main difficulties lay, describing the key points in great detail.

Thus, it’s really easy to get started, especially among the nine people, apart from Celestial Sound and Claire, all were at least A-level.

In less than two hours, all seven grasped the techniques of Instant Flash.

However, this body technique is easy to learn but hard to master, requiring a lot of practice for proficient use.

The others eagerly practiced, and three hours later, Claire finally grasped the essence of Instant Flash.

Another two hours passed, yet Celestial Sound still hadn’t comprehended it, almost driven to tears.

Although she had fallen on hard times, deep down, she had always thought of herself as a ”Chaoyang genius,” with a bit of pride.

Now she couldn’t even match a newly advanced B-level girl, which was quite a blow to her.

Previously, others had realized the technique by themselves, but now she had to consider asking for help.

Unfortunately, her two seniors from Chaoyang were nowhere to be found.

Upon seeing Qinghu Supreme flash back again, Celestial Sound took the initiative and spoke up, ”Senior, can you guide me?”

Qinghu’s mouth twitched, about to speak, but accidentally glanced at Qu Jianlei nearby.

She paused and said, ”Go ask the boss, he figured it out, I just practiced, not qualified to explain.”

Under Qu Jianlei’s guidance, Celestial Sound finally entered the gateway of Instant Flash Technique in half an hour.

The group practiced for a whole day, until dusk fell, before they drove back.

On the way, Qinghu couldn’t help but praise, ”This is really something good, Boss... did you simulate the use of spiritual power earlier?”

They were all experts; real good stuff couldn’t be kept from them. Given the efficacy of Instant Flash, she naturally harbored expectations for something else.

”Well...” Qu Jianlei pondered, realizing everyone was listening attentively.

”This technique isn’t very refined yet; I can only teach it to the supreme ones. As for the way A-levels use it, I still need to calculate.”

Then he glanced at Granny Jia, ”Best if you don’t learn it just yet, recovering from spiritual damage is slow.”

Granny Jia didn’t particularly mind, she casually nodded, ”Yes, by the way, this Instant Flash Technique can’t be shared out, can it?”

”Of course not,” Qu Jianlei replied offhandedly, ”If I wanted to sell this technique outright... it would fetch three billion.”

The price... nobody was surprised, those who experienced this body technique could judge its value.

The key was that they all realized this was a utilization of one’s inner breath.

Of course, many incredible ideas in its application broke their understanding—could inner breath be used like this?

But essentially, it was merely taking a different approach, without groundbreaking innovation.

Just a thin veil; the difficulty in learning wasn’t high. Once someone broke through, spreading it wasn’t difficult.

So buying this body technique for three billion really wasn’t that extraordinary.

Upon hearing this reply, Granny Jia casually remarked, ”Everyone heard it, don’t spread it out.”

Qu Jianlei felt this was basic awareness for team members, but Granny Jia’s mention revealed his oversight.

The next day was rainy again, so everyone came out once more, continuing to practice the body technique. ℯ

The rain did not greatly affect trade on Dreamland Star; many supreme ones remained active.

After practicing the technique for two days, everyone eagerly went shopping again.

At this point, their mindset was different from before; the boss had already proven that you could really find good stuff!

Of course, the chance of finding good things was truly too low; wanting to make immediate use was even more impossible without the boss’s keen eye.

Moreover, they weren’t carrying enough money, and the prices on Dreamland Star had skyrocketed.

Nonetheless, all these factors couldn’t deter their determination... what if they got lucky?

Unfortunately, they ventured out for two consecutive days but found no decent treasures.

On the third evening, after returning, Mu Yu and the paranoid found Qu Jianlei—they bumped into an acquaintance.

Given their age and experience, the number of acquaintances they might encounter was very limited, and as fate would have it, Qu Jianlei knew the person too.

This person was Robbs, a Water Attribute Supreme, also the grandson-in-law of Kafri Supreme.

And Kafri was the one who forcibly awakened Mu Yu and claimed her cryogenic chamber.

The grudges between the two families were already resolved, the paranoid asked Robbs for twelve billion, and Chaoyang Academy compensated three billion more.

But that was just compensation for the Paranoid’s material and spiritual losses, as Mu Yu at the time hadn’t taken the Soul Nourishing Pill, so she was rarely clear-headed.

The Paranoid specifically declared— I won’t bother your family anymore, but once Mu Yu recovers, she still has the right to come after you!

Robbs also agreed without hesitation back then, because in his mind, a spiritual injury... isn’t that an incurable condition?

Today, when they saw Robbs, they suddenly remembered this cause and effect.

Mu Yu wants revenge? Qu Jianlei wasn’t really surprised, although the Paranoid did take a cut, he only represented himself.

Since they are team members, it’s his duty, ”I support your revenge. What do you need me to do?”

”Let’s extort some money, forty or fifty billion will do,” Mu Yu said very straightforwardly, ”Mainly because recently... we’re too poor.”

That’s the hard truth; they do have quite a bit of spoils, private money isn’t scarce, and they normally wouldn’t worry about money.

But ever since they came to Dream Star, they truly feel they are poor.

They bought a few trinkets and hadn’t even purchased anything substantial, and yet somehow, they’re out of money?

During these days, they’ve encountered Divine Text Treasures more than once, and wanted to take a gamble, but they couldn’t afford it...!

The Paranoid just discovered Robbs and couldn’t help but contemplate extorting some money from this guy.

If it weren’t for this consideration, Mu Yu might not have gone looking for trouble again.

Kafri indeed acted carelessly, but it was precisely because she was in a semi-conscious state that the boss brought out the Soul Nourishing Pill for treatment.

If she were just ”safely” lying in the cryo-chamber, the boss might have just taken a glance and let it go.

Speaking of hatred, there really isn’t much left, but isn’t this a route to money?

Mu Yu doesn’t shy away from speaking directly, and Qu Jianlei wouldn’t mock either, ”That’s right, you two should make some money.”

However, the Paranoid very frankly expressed, ”How much money can the two of us use? Whatever we manage to get, it goes to the team.”

”As long as boss, you can buy good stuff, we’ll handle getting the money, isn’t that the way it should be?”

”Alright,” Qu Jianlei wasn’t a pretentious person, ”Then I’ll keep an eye on this person... Coming to Dream Star, he must have a bit of wealth.”

Next, he had Little Lake search for Robbs’ wristwatch and keep a close eye on it.

Robbs was quite cautious, mostly not using his wristwatch, but occasionally he would use it.

Little Lake wouldn’t know this person otherwise, but knowing now, it was too easy to search and lock onto him.

Traveling with Robbs was another Supreme, also a Chaoyang graduate.

It wasn’t just students from Chaoyang grouping together, but truly, in the circle of Supremes, it’s very hard to trust someone completely.

Two days later, the trading pace on Dream Star slowed, and inspections finally eased up, Supremes were less restricted in their movements.

But both Qu Jianlei and Nutrient Injection agreed it was best to wait a bit longer.

Leaving in haste gives the impression of ”running after scoring,” doesn’t it?

No one had anything too pressing, so why not wait a bit?

Coincidentally, Robbs was also in no rush to leave.

After another three days, Little Lake sent information, ”Robbs has scheduled his itinerary, heading to Blue Bay Star in the Deep Blue Star Realm.”

”Blue Bay Star?” Qu Jianlei was a little surprised, wasn’t Robbs’ home in the Thorn Star Realm?

But it’s fine, the monitoring in the Thorn Star Realm is too robust, while Blue Bay Star is similar to the Edge Star Realm.

Then he discussed with Nutrient Injection, ”Five days from now, can you arrange for us to set off for Blue Bay Star?”

Ever since he reunited with the main force, Nutrient Injection’s appearances have been noticeably fewer.

But Qu Jianlei could understand and even appreciated it: among friends, one must understand the importance of distance!

”Blue Bay Star?” Nutrient Injection was momentarily stunned, obviously not understanding the choice.

But he didn’t question it, and nodded directly, ”Sure, should I count myself in?”

”You focus on your important tasks first,” Qu Jianlei answered vaguely—we’re going to shake someone down!

Nutrient Injection fully grasped what he meant and quickly helped arrange their journey.

The day before boarding the ship, he informed Qu Jianlei, ”You guys go ahead, I’m a bit tied up at the moment.”

”In the future, keep in touch on Celestial Handle Star if anything comes up... Oh, and take the Koros siblings with you.”

This time, Nutrient Injection found a private luxury starship for them, not overly lavish, but still of good quality.

Just like when they arrived, Qu Jianlei and the others boarded the starship without any identity checks— everything was already arranged.

This time the private starship wasn’t chartered, at least four groups boarded the ship.

Qu Jianlei’s group of twelve was the smallest among the four groups, and the largest group had over forty people!

However, within their group, there were three Supreme auras present.

Even though the other three groups also had Supremes, their gazes towards Qu Jianlei’s team carried significant apprehension.

Needless to say, with Supremes making up a quarter of the team, who wouldn’t be intimidated?
