Beside the Biyu Lake where the Zhu family is located, there is an inconspicuous small courtyard that is shrouded in light white mist all year round.
It's normal for fog to be thick near the water. Through the mist, you can vaguely see sparse fences and three wooden houses.
In the evening, Master Sanduo came to the outside of the courtyard and spoke respectfully, "Nian Di asks to see the Second Patriarch to report something."
The fence door opened automatically without any wind, and a clear voice came out, "Come in."
The second ancestor is named Zhu Jiayi, a middle-aged man who looks a little vicissitudes of life.
He listened silently to Master Sanduo's words, and after pondering for a while, he asked, "What do you think?"
"Maybe they want to show that they don't care about Dongsheng?"
"That's not necessarily the case," Zhu Jiayi slowly shook his head, "The main thing is to show favor to the Zhu family."
He spoke in a deep voice, "First ask people for small things, which are a good starting point and will not offend others."
After all, he is a True Immortal of Nascent Soul and one of the top twelve forces. Others think it is difficult to enter Zhongzhou, but in his opinion, it is a trivial matter.
"At the same time, I can talk to a junior like you and express my intention to travel to Zhongzhou. It's full of goodwill."
He is indeed the think tank of the Zhu family, able to analyze motives through small details.
"By the way," Master Sanduo took out a fist-sized stone, "and gave me a space stone as a meeting gift."
"Oh, that's a lot of work," Zhu Jiayi glanced at it, then nodded slightly, "You deserve to be called Sanduo, you're really lucky."
"It's all under the protection of the family," Master Sanduo said with a smile, "If there is any need in the family, I will hand it over to Daku?"
"It's your chance," Zhu Jiayi raised his hand and waved it gently, "It's good if you have the heart... They didn't deal with He Yang?"
No movement in Zhujiafang City can be hidden from the Zhu family.
But most of the time, as long as the Zhu family is not involved, they don't bother to ask.
Zhu Jiayi had known about the existence of Zhenren Heyang for a long time, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
It was the appearance of the corpse of the Tiger Man Nascent Soul that made the Zhu family quietly trace the source and discover a series of things inside.
"No," Master Sanduo shook his head, "but Wu Minxi was a blessing in disguise and found a backer."
"They are not bad-hearted," Zhu Jiayi commented, "but looking at their actions, they are not weak people..."
"Understood!" He reacted, "Hundred Medicine Valley, Seven Star Gate, Lingyin Li... are a little passive."
Master Sanduo smiled again after hearing this, "Actually, it's not a big deal. I think they feel they can't hide it."
"Since you are willing to move around, that's a good thing," Zhu Jiayi set the tone.
"You still charge me a space stone, forget it, Second Ancestor, I'm going to spend money again!"
"Then..." Master Sanduo blinked his eyes and looked at the middle-aged man pitifully.
"Stop pretending to be pitiful," Zhu Jiayi snorted, "Invite them over tomorrow. It seems that they have learned a Nascent Soul Skill."
"Nascent Soul Technique?" Master Sanduo looked at him in astonishment, "Is this, is it, is it..."
"Invite people here quietly," Zhu Jiayi said calmly, "If you can't give them enough courtesy, you have to make up for it with gifts."
On the Dongsheng Continent, if a top-level being like a True Immortal came to visit you, no one would be disrespectful in their etiquette.
Zhu Jiayi didn't want to make any announcement because he had his own comprehensive considerations, but he didn't want to make the other party feel grudge, so he had no choice but to give him a big gift.
Fortunately, there will be no apparent loss to the family when giving away the secret books of exercises.
If the technique spreads, the potential losses are not small. However, it also depends on who gets it.
There are at least five true immortals in Hongye Ridge, and one immortal beast. With such a huge force, is it important to have one more Nascent Soul Skills and one less?
Zhu Jiayi also participated in the Tiger-Man War and has a private collection of Nascent Soul Skills.
When Master Sanduo took the order to leave, he still sat there without moving. After a long time, he softly sighed, "Fourth level spiritual veins..."
In the morning of the next day, Master Sanduo led the three of them over, and Zhu Jiayi heard the sound and walked out of the yard to greet them.
After Yan Xuemin stepped forward to greet him, he was dragged away by Master Sanduo, "Let's go and try the third-level spiritual tea I just got."
Zhu Jiayi invited the two of them to enter the wooden house. After letting each other sit down, he first looked at the little snake in Qu Jianlei's hand.
Then he raised his brows and spoke in surprise, "Could this, could it be...a fellow Taoist?"
With his cultivation level, facing the Nascent Soul Immortal Beast, he can also be called a fellow Taoist, but that is obviously not what he means now.
"Hey," Taoist Jiao sent out a spiritual consciousness, "The second ancestor of the Zhu family really has extraordinary eyesight."
A trace of doubt flashed across Zhu Jiayi's eyes, but he adjusted his mood instantly.
Then he went directly to the topic, "I have a friend who knows the road to Zhongzhou, but I don't know where he is for the time being."
"There's no rush," Qu Jianlei replied calmly, "It can be done within a hundred years."
I can wait for three fleets in a century! Zhu Jiayi was surprised when he heard this and asked, "Do you want to travel freely in the future?"
"I can't say for sure," Qu Jianlei answered very directly, "It depends on the situation in Zhongzhou."
"If it's easy to develop there, it doesn't matter if you don't come back."
In fact, he also wanted to test whether the blocking array could block the teleportation array he built.
The teleportation array in Cangwu Realm is not too far away.
At this point, Qu Jianlei felt that their technology was not as good as his own - at least on the surface.
The teleportation array he built can teleport hundreds of billions of kilometers. Here...how big is the entire Dongsheng Continent?
It’s just that in this technology, it’s better to hide your clumsiness first.
As for the limit of a hundred years, he had also mentioned to the Yan family before that he might not necessarily stay in Hongye Ridge forever.
Hearing this, Zhu Jiayi's eyes flashed with strange color, "Don't Hongye Ridge want to wait for the second tiger-man war?"
These words are a bit too superficial, as if he is accusing Hongyeling of wanting to be a deserter.
But top beings can indeed communicate with each other so directly - those false stories affect the efficiency of communication.
"The Second Khajiit War..." Qu Jianlei smiled when he heard this, without the slightest hint of anger, "It may not happen."

"Oh?" Zhu Jiayi was really surprised when he heard this, "I see that fellow Taoists are not timid people. How can you say this?"
"It's hard to say," Qu Jianlei replied with a smile, "At least, the tiger people won't come back so soon."
"This..." Zhu Jiayi's eyes were full of suspicion, but he couldn't ask a question.
The next moment, he took out a jade slip and handed it over, "I apologize for not opening the door to welcome the distinguished guests."
Qu Jianlei took it calmly, glanced at it with his spiritual consciousness, and handed it back, "Fellow Taoist accepted it with your heart. This technique is now available."
He doesn't mind accepting gifts from the other party, but if the gift is ineffective, then forget it, so as not to waste the favor.
"You're welcome, fellow Taoist," Zhu Jiayi said with a smile, and took out two more jade slips, "Then you can choose."
The two of them got along very openly and their conversation was quite direct. Qu Jianlei liked this feeling.
His consciousness scanned again, and then he said with a smile, "You don't have these two doors, can you give them all to me?"
"This is too much," Zhu Jiayi replied with a smile, "Then fellow Taoist must come up with something...for example, news about the tiger people."
"It's really inconvenient to tell you the news about the tiger people," Qu Jianlei spread his hands, "How about... the flesh and blood of the tiger people's Nascent Soul?"
"Are there any more?" Zhu Jiayi asked in surprise, "How many Tiger Nascent Souls have you killed?"
"Quite a few," Qu Jianlei answered vaguely, and then asked, "Does the Zhu family know the origin of the tiger man's Nascent Soul?"
"Fellow Taoist, aren't you joking?" Zhu Jiayi replied with a smile, "Zhujiafang City... belongs to the Zhu family!"
"Oh," Qu Jianlei nodded, "There is indeed some tiger-man Nascent Soul flesh and blood, as well as those from the golden elixir."
Judging from this tone, it should be more than a little bit, right? Zhu Jiayi thought about it and looked at the little snake in the opponent's hand.
Then he smiled and shook his head slightly: Forget it, what is going on with the other party, does it have anything to do with him?
"Flesh and blood... then give it as much as you like. The Zhu family only uses it for their own use. It's a pity that there is no out-of-body body."
"Out of the body..." Qu Jianlei pondered for a moment before speaking, "Is that the qualification to break out of the body?"
Out-of-body experience... Zhu Jiayi glanced at him and said, "Qu Dao friends have great ambitions. I wish you all the best to achieve out-of-body experience."
In Dongsheng Continent, wishing to have an out-of-body experience is not a good blessing. Sometimes it is closer to a curse.
However, Yuanying's state of mind can naturally tell whether it is good or malicious, and he blessed it very carefully.
Qu Jianlei raised his hand and released a dozen pieces of tiger flesh, including Nascent Soul and golden elixir, "Is it enough?"
"That's almost it," Zhu Jiayi's consciousness swept away and he was slightly stunned, "Is this... a space rule?"
Not to mention that immortal cultivators should not be underestimated. After so many years, he could still feel the cause of death of these tiger men.
Qu Jianlei replied nonchalantly, "If you want to keep it fresh, you have to use some means."
He did have a good conversation with the other party, but he always had to hide his clumsiness.
Zhu Jiayi didn't care about the amount of flesh and blood, but asked another question.
"I heard that Hongye Ridge collects various exercises to create a new training system?"
This is what he has always wanted to know. He is really curious, what kind of person can have such an ambition?
"It's not a completely new system," Qu Jianlei replied calmly, "Composing a set of exercises... it's just an obsession."
This is his obsession and a rigid need of the team, but answering so vaguely is obviously intended to induce the other party.
As expected, Zhu Jiayi simply misunderstood and thought it was this person's teacher who had some wish in the past.
He sighed, "Obsession is really terrible. If you can't get rid of it, it will easily breed inner demons."
Obviously, the inner demons he was talking about were the troubles that the other party might encounter when he planned to break out of his body.
"It's not just inner demons?" Qu Jianlei smiled bitterly upon hearing this, thinking that if he couldn't sort out the skills, he wouldn't be able to leave the body at all!
Seeing this, Zhu Jiayi nodded with deep sympathy, "It's not easy to get out of the body, so it would be safer to go to the upper realm to attack the bottleneck."
The upper realm... Qu Jianlei's mind moved slightly, but it was really inconvenient to ask aloud which realm the upper realm refers to.
