Chapter 1756: Good Luck
In response to Qu Jianlei's question, Qi Ling made a convincing argument.
"It's nothing more than some property. I didn't cause any greater damage to you and your team."
Qu Jianlei was a little puzzled. "You, the creatures of the spirit class, can be so self-righteous when you do something wrong?"
The spirit of the weapon replied, "If I am willing to cooperate, my value is far greater than that little bit of money. Don't you think the previous transaction is unfair?"
"You just..." Qu Jianlei was a little depressed.
After a pause, he said, "Isn't the point that... it wasn't me who proposed the deal, but you who took the initiative?"
"You proposed the conditions yourself, but now you regret it. Are you blaming the deal being unfair?"
The spirit of the weapon was silent for a while before answering, "I originally thought that I was borrowing it from you, and I was going to return it in the future."
Qu Jianlei's mood was really complicated. Strictly speaking, the weapon spirit did not cause him more harm.
Economic issues are very serious, but if you don't take them too seriously, they're not a big deal.
Moreover, for our team, worldly possessions are indeed no longer important, and we are qualified to say "we are not interested in money".
Those scarce resources used for cultivation are what the team is pursuing.
But since the other party had just brushed it off so lightly, he felt a little uncomfortable.
Qu Jianlei pondered for three or four seconds before shaking his head and answering in a deep voice.
"No need. If you protect the lake, we'll be even... I'm not interested in testing human nature, or the character of the weapon spirit."
"You can refine the cave this time," the weapon spirit said seriously, "this way you can ensure that there won't be a next time."
Qu Jianlei hesitated for a moment before asking, "Have you always been talking to yourself like this?"
"What I do is effective communication," the spirit of the weapon answered directly, "Does that kind of empty communication have any meaning?"
"To be frank, with your Nascent Soul cultivation, it's still a bit low. That's just the lower limit. It's normal for me to feel dissatisfied."
"You are really... honest," Qu Jianlei glanced at the small plastic snake on his wrist, "Senior Jiao, what do you think?"
"It fits my perception," Jiao Daoren answered straightforwardly, "You finally understand why I don't want to have any contact with it, right?"
"It is the instinct of this kind of creature to seek benefits and avoid harm. It is not surprising that it feels resentful because you are not strong enough."
Qu Jianlei thought for a moment and continued to ask, "But I am at the Nascent Soul stage, can I refine the cave?"
"It depends on whether it is willing to cooperate," Jiao Daoren replied. "If it is willing, then there is nothing wrong with it."
"The cave of a powerful being who has left his body is full of mysteries. If the spirit of the weapon is willing to cooperate, anything can happen."
"At least he has to be at the Nascent Soul stage," the weapon spirit emphasized. "If he is at the Golden Core stage... he will be wiped out."
Qu Jianlei thought for a moment and replied, "I need to discuss this matter with my teammates."
"Your sudden departure without saying goodbye made everyone unhappy. I believe you understand."
"Also, the dark red star I promised you is not going to count... If you make a mistake, you have to pay the price."
"That's no problem," the weapon spirit answered without hesitation, "Whenever you think I'm valuable enough, you can give it to me!"
"You have such a shameless face..." Qu Jianlei was really speechless. Did you still think about it?
He coughed and said, "Of course, this is not the only condition. I need to discuss the others."
"Yes," the weapon spirit answered confidently, "You won't regret it... and that's why I'm unwilling to give up."
Qu Jianlei thought for a moment, then looked at it and asked, "You can sense the soul that has left the body, so is there any hidden danger in my sea of consciousness?"
"There is some out-of-body aura," the weapon spirit answered without hesitation, "but it's nothing serious."
"Incense and fire only make a god. Without incense and fire, it is like water without a source and a tree without roots."
"If you can refine it well, it will be beneficial to your leaving the body."
"Boss, this is what I told it," Xiao Hu's clone explained, "I feel like something is wrong with your sea of consciousness."
Because of the demise of the main body, its clone no longer has the memory of the flying centipede.
But after reuniting with the boss, especially after entering the boss's sea of consciousness, it learned a lot of things.
"Beneficial...I hope so," Qu Jianlei nodded thoughtfully.
Then he found everyone and held a small meeting.
He has always disliked the formalism of holding meetings, but as the team grows bigger, it is still necessary to unify thoughts to a certain extent.
Everyone was surprised and delighted to hear that the missing Skyhook Mystery had actually come to them.
Jia Shuiqing directly said that they could consider putting aside past grudges - after all, this is a world where strength is paramount.
If you don't have enough strength, you may not even be able to keep your own things, let alone the sudden wealth that comes to you.
Dogan, who sent his clone to guard the dark red star, also said that the other party did not attack the dark red star, so it could be saved.
The paranoid one, on the other hand, thought that they had to settle accounts with the other party - after all, the team was not without a cave residence now.
Although the conditions of the two caves are very different, they already exist, and the rest can be improved slowly.
And acts of betrayal must also be taken seriously - a bad start must be severely punished.
Finally, Qing Hu made a suggestion. She thought it was necessary to do some divination.
The cave is indeed related to the Great Being who has reached the state of out-of-body experience, but if the spirit of the artifact cannot even cover this cause and effect, what is the point of having it?
As expected, when Qu Jianlei proposed divination, the spirit of the weapon was a little embarrassed.
"I understand that you don't trust me, but this cave is quite a nuisance. Aren't you worried about backlash?"
Qu Jianlei's expression was serious. "If you can't stop the backlash, what do I need you to surrender to me for?"
"We don't keep idlers in our team. If it weren't for Xiao Hu, I wouldn't have given you this chance."
"Since we have embarked on the path of cultivation, it would be nice if everyone is well and happy. Why not forget each other in the world?"
When he said this, he completely let go of the entanglement in his heart.
It’s enough that Xiaohu can return safely... It doesn’t matter whether you join us or not.
The weapon spirit also struggled for about ten seconds before sighing, "Stop talking... I hope we can have a long-term future together."
Qu Jianlei made a divination and it turned out to be the “good luck” which he had never seen before!
The reason why it is not "excellent luck" is mainly because... such a precious weapon should not be held by a Nascent Soul.
A three-year-old child holding gold in a busy city... Well, it was a teenager in his teens holding gold in a busy city, which is still a bit uncertain.
Since there was no backlash, Qu Jianlei asked for another divination, wanting to know how long it would take him to refine the cave.
The hexagram is very clear this time - the lower limit is thirty-six years, and this requires the unconditional cooperation of the spirit of the weapon.
This is a bit depressing, but after the spirit of the weapon learned about it, it said that it would be thirty-six years, no longer!
The key point is that it also stated that it can execute anything like the Heavenly Oath, and the thirty-six years only refers to complete refining.
It means that in just three days, Boss, you will be able to refine some of the authority of the cave.
With its cooperation, this part of authority is not much different from complete refining.
Qu Jianlei made another divination - this guy really didn't lie!
In just five days, he performed divination three times in a row. Even the spirit of the weapon couldn't help but remind him that he needed to rest for at least a month!
It is said that a powerful person is still a powerful person after all. It is unexpected that the spirit of the weapon who hangs out with the powerful person can have such insight.
Qu Jianlei nodded and went into seclusion to rest without saying a word.
The spirit looked at the bulky, tank-like robot in front of him and snorted, "Your boss is not as generous as you say."
This bulky robot is Xiao Hu's clone, and the first clone, the one that is the least like a human.
But it was also because of this that Xiao Hu instilled enough memories into this clone.
Hearing this, it snorted coldly, "Be content, the boss is at least willing to accept you. If it weren't for my face, you wouldn't have this treatment at all."
"I'm just a little curious..." the spirit of the weapon muttered softly.
What puzzled it the most was that the other party was just a data packet, not even a spirit of an artifact, so how could it be so connected with its master?
Qu Jianlei rested for five days before he began to refine the Sky Hook Maze.
During these five days, he also pondered the credibility of this guy.
However, after careful consideration, he had to admit that the "quasi-betrayal" of the weapon spirit was not actually a bad thing.
First of all, if the spirit of the weapon hadn’t had other thoughts, it wouldn’t have regarded Xiaohu’s clone so seriously.
If Xiaohu's clone was really outside the cave, it would have been taken away by a wave when the main body disappeared.
If this were to happen, at least Qu Jianlei... couldn't figure out how to revive Xiaohu at the moment.
Secondly, the conditions set by the weapon spirit at the beginning were a bit condescending - I will only let you refine it if you help me.
So it keeps emphasizing - this is your chance!
If it is really refined like that, it will be hard to say who will be the main and who will be the secondary in the subsequent cooperation.
Even though Qu Jianlei is the nominal owner of the cave, can he control the spirit of the cave at will?
It’s nothing like now, as long as he has any ideas, he can put them forward with confidence!
It is true that “Misfortune may be a blessing in disguise”.
After another five days, he roughly refined a bit of the authority of the maze, and then summoned out Gao Fang.
This guy Gao Fang is really amazing. Although Xiaohu's clone is extremely crude, it actually recognized the other party at the first time.
Then it turned into a stickman, hugged the robot's thighs directly, and shouted nonsense.
Qu Jianlei couldn't understand what it was shouting, but anyone could feel the excitement and joy that came from its heart.
The crude robot tried to calm it down for a long time before looking at Qu Jianlei, "Boss, where did you hide it?"
“Why do I feel like it has suffered a lot?”
"It's enjoying itself to its fullest," Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes. "Guess where it is?"
