Qi Ling responded eloquently to Qu Jianlei's question.
"It's nothing more than some property. I didn't cause any greater losses to you and your team."
Qu Jianlei was a little puzzled when he heard this, "Can you spirit creatures be so confident when you do something wrong?"
Qi Ling replied, "If I am willing to cooperate, the value will be much higher than that little treasure. Don't you think the previous transaction was unfair?"
"You're just..." Qu Jianlei was a little depressed.
After a pause, he said, "Isn't the point...it wasn't me who proposed the deal, it was you who took the initiative?"
"I made a condition and then regretted it. Now I blame the deal for being unfair?"
Qi Ling remained silent for a while before replying, "I originally thought I was borrowing it from you, and I planned to pay it back in the future."
Qu Jianlei's mood was really complicated. Strictly speaking, the weapon spirit did not cause him any more harm.
Economic matters are very serious, but if you don't care about them, they are not that big of a deal.
Moreover, for our team, worldly possessions are indeed irrelevant, and we are qualified to say "not interested in money".
Those scarce resources used for cultivation are what the team should pursue.
But the other party revealed it so lightly, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
Qu Jianlei pondered for three or four seconds before shaking his head and answering in a deep voice.
"It's not necessary. You protected Xiaohu, and we'll settle the matter...I'm not interested in testing human nature, well, and the character of the weapon spirit."
"You can refine the cave this time," Qi Ling said seriously, "This will ensure there is no next time."
Qu Jianlei hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Have you always talked to yourself like this?"
"What I do is effective communication," Qi Ling answered directly, "Are those empty-headed communications meaningful?"
"To put it bluntly, considering your Nascent Soul's cultivation level, it's still a bit low. That's just the lower limit. It's normal for me to be unwilling to do so."
"You are really... upright," Qu Jianlei glanced at the small plastic snake on his wrist, "Senior Jiao, what do you think?"
"It conforms to my understanding," Daoren Jiao answered simply, "You finally know why I don't want to have contact with it, right?"
"It is the instinct of this kind of creature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. If you are not strong enough, it is not surprising for it to be unhappy."
Qu Jianlei thought for a moment and continued to ask, "But I am a Nascent Soul cultivator, can I refine the cave?"
"It depends on whether it is willing to cooperate," Jiao Daoren replied, "If it is willing, there is nothing wrong with it."
"The cave with powerful out-of-body power has endless mysteries. If the weapon spirit is willing to cooperate, anything can happen."
"At least it must be a Nascent Soul cultivation level," Qi Ling emphasized, "If it comes to the golden elixir... it will burn out and become ashes."
Qu Jianlei thought for a moment and replied, "I need to discuss this matter with my teammates."
"Your leaving without saying goodbye made everyone unhappy. I believe you won't understand."
"Also, the dark red star I promised you cannot be counted... If you make a mistake, you will have to pay the price."
"That's no problem," Qi Ling replied without hesitation, "Whenever you feel that my value is enough, you can give it to me again!"
"You are so shameless..." Qu Jianlei was really speechless. Are you still thinking about me?
He coughed and said, "Of course, this is not the only condition. I have to discuss the others."
"Yes," Qi Ling replied confidently, "You won't regret it... It's precisely because of this that I won't give in."
Qu Jianlei thought for a moment, then looked at it and asked, "You can sense the out-of-body soul body. Are there any hidden dangers in my sea of consciousness?"
"There is some out-of-body aura," Qi Ling replied without hesitation, "but it's nothing serious."
"Incense only becomes the way of God. Without incense, it would be water without a source and a tree without a root."
"If it can be refined properly, it will be beneficial for you to leave the body."
"Boss, this is what I told it," Xiaohu's clone explained at the side, "I feel like your knowledge of the sea is not quite right."
Because the main body dies, its clone lacks the memory of the Flying Centipede.
But after meeting the boss again, especially after entering the boss's sea of consciousness, it learned a lot of things.
"It's beneficial... I hope so," Qu Jianlei nodded thoughtfully.
Then he found everyone and held a small meeting.
He has never liked the formality of meetings, but as the team is getting bigger, it is still necessary to unify ideas appropriately.
Everyone heard that the missing Tiangou Mansion actually came to the door, and they were also surprised.
Jia Shuiqing directly stated that she could consider putting aside her past grudges - after all, this is a world where strength comes first.
If you are not strong enough, you may not even be able to protect your own things, let alone the sudden wealth that comes to you.
Duogan, who sent a clone to guard the dark red star, also said that the other party did not take action against the dark red star and it could be saved.
On the other hand, the paranoid person thinks that he must settle the score with the other party - anyway, the team does not have a cave now.
Although the conditions of the two caves are very different, they are already there and the others can be gradually improved.
Betrayal must also be carefully considered - a bad start must be severely punished.
Finally, Qinghu made some suggestions. She thought it was necessary to do some divination.
The cave is indeed related to the out-of-body master, but if the weapon spirit can't even cover this cause and effect, what can it do?
As expected, when Qu Jianlei asked for divination, the weapon spirit was a little embarrassed.
"You can't believe me. I can understand that, but this cave is a big obstacle. Aren't you worried about the backlash?"
Qu Jianlei's face turned pale, "If you can't stop the backlash, what do I want from you?"
"There are no idlers in the team. If it weren't for Xiaohu's sake, I wouldn't have given you this opportunity."
"Now that we have embarked on the path of spiritual practice, it's good for everyone to be well and let us help each other. How can we forget each other in the world?"
When he said this, he completely let go of the entanglements in his heart.
It's enough for Xiaohu to come back safely... It doesn't matter whether you defect to us or not.
Qi Ling also struggled for about ten seconds before sighing, "彳庍口巴... I hope we all have a long-term future in the future."
Qu Jianlei divined a hexagram, and it turned out to be the "Shangji" he saw for the first time!
The reason why it is not "Shang Shang Ji" is mainly because...such an important weapon should not be held by Nascent Soul.
A three-year-old holding gold in the city... well, a teenager holding gold in the city is still a bit uncertain.
Since there was no backlash, Qu Jianlei made another guess and wanted to know how long it would take for 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 weapon spirit.
This was a bit depressing, but after learning about it, Qi Ling said that it would be thirty-six years, not longer!
The key is that it also says that it can execute the oath of heaven and so on, and thirty-six years only means complete refining.
It means that in just three days, boss, you can refine part of the cave's authority.
With its cooperation, this part of the 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, and even the weapon spirit couldn't help but remind him that you need to rest for at least a month!
If we don’t say that a powerful person is a powerful person after all, the weapon spirits who hang out with the powerful person can actually have such insights.
Qu Jianlei nodded and went to retreat to rest without saying a word.
Qi Ling looked at the bulky, tank-like robot in front of him and snorted, "Your boss is not as bold as you say."
This bulky robot is Xiaohu's clone, and it is the first clone, refined to be the least human-like.
But precisely because of this, Xiaohu instilled enough memories into this clone.
Hearing this, it snorted coldly, "Just be content. The boss is at least willing to accept you. It's not for my sake. You don't get this treatment at all."
"I'm just a little curious..." Qi Ling muttered softly.
What puzzles it the most is that the other party is just a data packet, not even a weapon spirit. How can it be so connected with its master?
Qu Jianlei rested for five days before starting to refine Tiangou Mi Mansion.
During these five days, he also thought about this guy's credibility.
However, after thinking carefully, he had to admit that Qi Ling's "quasi-betrayal" was actually not a bad thing.
First of all, if the weapon spirit hadn't had other thoughts, it wouldn't have taken Xiaohu's clone so seriously.
If Xiaohu's clone was really outside the cave, when the main body died, it would have been taken away by a wave.
If something like this really happens, at least Qu Jianlei...can't figure out how to resurrect Xiaohu at the moment.
Secondly, the conditions set by the Artifact 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 opportunity!
If we really want to refine it like that, it's really hard to say who will take precedence and who will take second place in the subsequent cooperation.
Even though Qu Jianlei is the nominal master of the cave, can he use the weapon spirits as he pleases?
Unlike now, whenever he has any ideas, he can put them forward with confidence!
The real "a blessing in disguise".
After another five days, he roughly refined a bit of the authority of the Mysterious Mansion, and then summoned Gao Fang.
This high imitation guy is really amazing. Although Xiaohu’s clone is extremely crude, it actually recognized the other person immediately.
Then it transformed into a stickman, hugged the robot's thigh directly, and screamed randomly.
Qu Jianlei couldn't understand what it was shouting, but the excitement and joy from the heart could be felt personally.
The thick robot comforted it for a long time before looking at Qu Jianlei, "Boss, where did you hide it?"
"How do I feel that it has suffered a lot?"
"It enjoys so much happiness," Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes, "Guess where it is?"
