Chapter 859: Chapter 729: The Real Treasure

Facing Qu Jianlei’s threat, that voice uncharacteristically fell silent.

After a while, it sighed, ”If I say I was joking from the start, you probably wouldn’t believe me?”

”Heh,” now it was Qu Jianlei’s turn to sneer coldly, but he didn’t respond.

This sly old fox had been hiding and observing since he started setting up the Spirit Gathering Array, yet for some reason chose not to intervene.

And now, failing to achieve its goal, it says ”no ill intent”?

Seeing him packing up his ammunition, the voice seemed a bit anxious.

”If I did indeed want a possession, wouldn’t that dark attribute girl be more suitable? Her potential is limitless.”

”Heh,” now it was Qu Jianlei’s continuous cold laughter, ”With me here, you can try.”

The voice responded nonchalantly, ”If it weren’t for the fact she’s female, I could indeed give it a shot.”

”Even if you do manage to stop me, so what? She’s certainly doomed, and you can’t kill me.”

”Can’t kill you?” A flash of sharp light appeared in Qu Jianlei’s eyes, ”Let’s see about that.”

Seeing him almost finished packing, the voice became more urgent, ”Young friend, we don’t have such deep hatred.”

”Heh.”

”Okay, I have what you want,” the voice sighed helplessly, ”Shall we make a deal?”

Qu Jianlei let out another cold laugh, ”I can’t kill you, so why are you in a hurry?”

The voice sighed softly, ”I don’t like gambling... Alright, technically I’m no longer a person now.”

Upon hearing this, Qu Jianlei pondered for a moment and then spoke solemnly, ”What do you think I want?”

Regardless, this peculiar existence held too many of his secrets, posing a considerable threat to him.

This issue must be resolved eventually, even if it can be temporarily set aside.

Although the other may be tricking him, it’s always worth hearing out.

”Ancient objects related to Spiritual Qi,” the voice observed him willing to talk, returning to calmness.

”Your understanding of Spiritual Qi should surpass mine; I can have you analyze it.”

Qu Jianlei thought for a while but still shook his head, ”Sorry, I’m indeed interested in alien energy, but I have no reason to trust you.”

One talked about ”Spiritual Qi,” the other ”alien energy,” someone uninformed might think the former was from the Divine Land.

”Really...” the voice muttered, and the wall showed faint black patterns again.

”Take a look, hopefully, you recognize these three Divine Texts.”

Qu Jianlei, with his well-trained temperament, still couldn’t help but open his mouth slightly upon seeing the ancient script.

He was frantically ridiculing in his mind, ”What the hell, is this a joke?”

”Not really?” The Big Head Butterfly also froze in his mind, ”Teleportation array... is this real?”

After a period of silence in the stone cave, the voice reappeared, ”Seems you recognize its value, right?”

Qu Jianlei was silent, finally asking in a deep voice, ”This item... where did you get it from?”

”I’ve shown my sincerity,” the voice answered slowly, ”You must first tell me what it is.”

Regardless if it’s truly above supreme, its perception is astonishing; it must have sensed Qu Jianlei’s surprise.

Qu Jianlei replied without hesitation, ”Change the terms!”

”How is that possible?” The outline of a head appeared slightly, clearly a bit excited, ”I’d rather die than not know what this is!”

”Then go ahead and die,” Qu Jianlei replied casually, but didn’t attack.

No need, his attack might injure the opponent, but far from killing, it would only deplete his own Spiritual Qi.

After a pause, he added, ”I won’t lie to you, without this item, it doesn’t hinder me from reaching above supreme.”

Truly not deceitful, the teleportation array is merely a tool, irrelevant to cultivation level improvement.

The head outline remained silent, finally asking in a muffled voice, ”Do you really know what this is?”

Qu Jianlei ignored it, instead asking again, ”Where does this item come from?”

The head outline sensed his resolve, ”Let me ask another question, are you confident of advancing above supreme?”

”Who dares to claim certainty?” Qu Jianlei responded calmly, ”I’m just likely to have a slightly better chance than others.”

The head outline spoke again, ”Alright, considering you’ve answered, you may ask again.”

Qu Jianlei pondered and changed the question, ”Do you think this item will help you?”

”Just unwilling,” the head outline replied bluntly, ”If you’re willing to help me, I’ll tell you where this item is.”

”Don’t mess with me,” Qu Jianlei snorted disdainfully, just now you wanted me to analyze it, now it’s telling its location?

”If it’s not in your hands, what nonsense are you speaking!”

After a long phase of probing, finally, the head outline gave up.

”Alright, the item is indeed in my possession, but if you want to analyze it, you must agree to one condition.”

”I can’t guarantee that,” Qu Jianlei replied casually, ”Let’s talk about the conditions first.”

”I want that array of yours,” the silhouette said without hesitation, ”and a hundred million Energy Blocks.”

”Don’t even think about it,” Qu Jianlei grinned, ”The array won’t be given to you, and as for Energy Blocks... still none.”

”You obviously have so many Energy Blocks,” the silhouette spoke through gritted teeth.

It clearly saw how many Energy Stones were piled up in the opponent’s warehouse, ”And that’s just one of your Secret Vaults!”

It had eavesdropped on quite a bit of the conversation between Qu Jianlei and his comrades.

Qu Jianlei, however, snorted indifferently, as if he thought he was dealing with a fool, ”Don’t tell me you don’t have a Storage Talisman!”

”You want not only the array but also the Energy Blocks, do you really think I’m running a charity? I’ll rob your Storage Talisman sooner or later!”

”Would I put such a treasure in a Storage Talisman?” the silhouette sneered contemptuously.

”I’d rather destroy it than let it be stolen!”

After saying this, the two fell silent again, and the stone chamber returned to an eerie stillness.

It was obvious that both sides coveted each other’s treasures and were unwilling to give up, but the conditions were vastly disproportionate.

After a while, Qu Jianlei spoke in a deep voice, ”You and I have already communicated fully and deeply, I’ll leave if there’s nothing else.”

”Diplomatic rhetoric?” the silhouette sneered in disdain.

But continuing to stalemate wasn’t a solution either, it finally conceded, ”Tell me your conditions.”

”I want that thing in your hand,” Qu Jianlei responded without hesitation, ”I’ll give you a hundred million Energy Blocks!”

”Ha, do I lack those Energy Blocks?” As expected, the silhouette really wasn’t honest.

It coldly stated, ”I must obtain that array, and at most, I’ll lend the treasure to you for study and analysis.”

Compared to its previous conditions, now the demand had been reduced by a hundred million Energy Blocks, which wasn’t a small amount.

But Qu Jianlei would never agree, ”You can study and analyze, but don’t even think about the array.”

He had also made a concession; indeed, having the physical Teleportation Array was good, but he was more interested in calculating the Teleportation Array.

The reason was simple, he needed to set up Secret Vaults on every planet, and one Teleportation Array was clearly insufficient.

”Then you won’t get anything,” the silhouette replied without hesitation, ”The array is the bottom line, don’t think about stealing my treasure.”

Qu Jianlei shook his head and said indifferently, ”Bottom lines are meant to be broken.”

”I don’t believe you would really destroy the treasure. When I come back next time, I’ll just kill and take the treasure.”

”Oh really?” the silhouette replied indifferently, ”I’m curious to know how you plan to deal with me?”

”Is that difficult?” Qu Jianlei responded casually, ”Even if you are above Supreme, can’t the convergence of the Gold Attribute be utilized?”

The silhouette was momentarily speechless, and after a while, it spoke through gritted teeth.

”Boy, you’re ruthless, to even think of that... Do you have to be so excessive?”

”Actually, it might not even work against you,” Qu Jianlei answered leisurely, ”But I’d like to try, it’s better than being extorted.”

The silhouette suddenly emitted a rapid breathing sound, ”You... do you have that much money?”

Qu Jianlei spread his hands and answered frankly, ”You could take a gamble... hmm, you don’t like to gamble, but there are always exceptions.”

The silhouette fell silent, and after a moment of silence, it spoke, ”Then I’ll borrow your array.”

”Everyone’s borrowing, it’s fair.”

”Fair my ass!” Qu Jianlei cursed directly, ”The treasure in your hand, is it an array diagram or an array?”

The silhouette couldn’t answer because it knew very well that it didn’t have a ready-made array in hand.

”See, I knew it,” Qu Jianlei coldly snorted, ”Surely you know that the treasure in your hand is related to arrays.”

With so much inheritance from the Divine Land scattered around, he believed that with the other’s ability, recognizing the ’array’ was not out of the question.

”Both are arrays; mine is a ready-made array, yours is just a diagram... Can seniors be shameless?”

The silhouette was a bit embarrassed and angry at being called ”shameless,” but it couldn’t do anything about the opponent.

Just like Qu Jianlei thought, he indeed couldn’t do anything to the silhouette, but the silhouette also couldn’t handle him.

The silhouette’s heart also understood that the opponent’s reasoning was valid.

Fighting was not an option, and it couldn’t win a logical argument either, so it had to emphasize, ”Your array is ready-made; what I have is the original inheritance!”

”Cut the crap,” Qu Jianlei sneered, ”You claim to be from the Divine Text Association, have you seen the array I use?”

The silhouette, of course, knew it had never seen this array; otherwise, it would have already obtained a set.

Hearing this, it suddenly thought of a possibility and became excited, ”Did you calculate it yourself?”

Qu Jianlei replied indifferently, ”It’s certainly not you who calculated it, even if it wasn’t me, couldn’t I have a master?”

”So it’s a master-disciple system!” The silhouette suddenly understood upon hearing this, ”No wonder.”
