Starting Cultivation in Wasteland

Chapter 1141: Chapter 1007: Bottleneck

Qu Jianlei just asked on a whim. Even if the other party were Supreme, he wasn’t very afraid of a real falling out.

"Supreme... me?" Nutrient Injection laughed when hearing it, "Sir, don’t joke with me, I’m only in my early forties."

"An A-level in their early forties," Qu Jianlei was astonished when he heard, "Is this so impressive?"

At this moment, a strange thought popped into his head: If Little Jing were alive, wouldn’t he be under fifty?

"I didn’t feel it’s impressive," Nutrient Injection spoke blandly, "There are certainly more A-levels in their forties than Supremes."

Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes upon hearing that, "You can’t compare."

"Being A-level is really not a big deal," Nutrient Injection responded casually, "A genius that dies young isn’t a genius."

Then he stretched out his hand and spoke blandly, "It’s raining, shall we walk in the rain?"

"I also like the rain," Qu Jianlei replied casually, "You keep talking."

"I don’t want to talk anymore, a walk will do," Nutrient Injection replied casually, as if he never really considered the other as a Supreme.

"My wish is to live the remaining hundred years calmly. To advance to Supreme would be good, but it’s no big deal if I don’t."

Rarely did he see such an arrogant A-level. Qu Jianlei felt a bit strange.

Yet, he couldn’t muster the enthusiasm to be angry, "Then find somewhere to hide, what you’re doing now is dangerous."

"I’m very relaxed now," Nutrient Injection replied casually, and took out a pack of cigarettes, "Want one?"

Qu Jianlei reached out and took one, "Good thing it’s a light rain, if it were heavy, we’d be soaked."

He really was quite relaxed, being with this small A-level brought no pressure, instead a peculiar sense of ease.

The two walked silently for a while, listening to the rustling of rain on the leaves and the swishing of tires on the ground.

After ten minutes, Nutrient Injection finally spoke, "Maybe I won’t die so soon, you’ll help me out, won’t you?"

Qu Jianlei remained silent for a long time before replying, "I can’t help you with everything, I have principles, and a team."

Nutrient Injection remained silent too, and spoke suddenly after a while, "Want to know... the hazard of the storm?"

"Uh," Qu Jianlei was startled suddenly, and then instinctively fished out a pack of cigarettes, offering one to him.

"You really surprise me, can’t afford this intelligence, have a cigarette."

He certainly could afford it, with billions at hand; he could at least inquire about the price.

But someone daring to sell shortfalls of Supreme... were they working for scavengers?

The entire scavenger system wouldn’t have such boldness when gathered together, would it?

Thinking back to his first encounter with this fellow, when he had two bounty-placed Supremes by his side, Qu Jianlei felt he underestimated him.

So it was a wrong placement; ultimately, he misjudged.

"You can afford it," Nutrient Injection spoke quietly, "Your favor would be enough."

"Not enough," Qu Jianlei indicated that he was quite aware, "Favors vary in weight, combined with this intelligence, it’d be too heavy."

"Is this really just the beginning?" Nutrient Injection smiled slightly, "I have even heavier intelligence!"

Qu Jianlei took a deep drag of his cigarette, "Feels like... you’re trying to provoke me to deal with you?"

He was a bit suspicious, wondering if he was caught in an illusion technique too, but... unlikely?

Nutrient Injection spread his hands, showing no panic, "Used to it, with trusted people, I always hold nothing back!"

"Such low-level rhetoric," Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes, "Look at your reactions, you call this memory loss?"

Nutrient Injection sighed quietly, "I really have memory loss, is it necessary to lie about such things?"

Qu Jianlei could sense his distress but still didn’t quite believe him.

Walking a few more steps, he finally spoke, "What is the more important intelligence you mentioned?"

Nutrient Injection remained silent too, and after a while replied, "For instance... certain ideas to break through Supreme."

"This news..." Qu Jianlei really wasn’t very surprised; whether Granny Jia or paranoid ones, there were plenty of similar pieces of information.

Sounds quite tempting but there’s also a big downside, "Easily affects comprehensive judgment."

Nutrient Injection dismissed it, "Could affect others, but not you."

This guy knew what? Qu Jianlei shook his head dismissively, "Such flattery is too low-end; it depreciates the worth."

"This isn’t flattery," Nutrient Injection muttered quietly and then asked, "What if it’s from Divine Text inheritance ideas?"

"What?" Qu Jianlei looked at him, stunned, "Could there be such inheritance?"

"Certainly," Nutrient Injection replied without hesitation, "It’s just that gathering this information also takes some time."

Qu Jianlei chuckled silently; he always kept the information from Divine Land cautiously.

But never expected, that those elders from Divine Land could leak out so much information, what on earth were they thinking?

Supposedly it’s just a solitary claim from Nutrient Injection, solitary claims hold no ground.

Yet Qu Jianlei could basically ascertain that what the man said has a high probability of being true.

Not that he trusted Nutrient Injection greatly, but it matched his increasingly clear understanding.

Previously, Qu Jianlei seldom encountered Divine Text Treasures so he couldn’t make any judgments.

However, with acquiring Teleportation Array, Cloning Technique, and Avengers Alliance’s Storage Device successively, he truly experienced it too deeply.

Especially the ghost cultivators on Xueye Star; they directly used stone scrolls to leave their legacy.

While the predecessors of Divine Land have left behind secret realms like the Celestial Hook Enigma Mansion that only acknowledge people from Divine Land, not everyone is like this.

The saying, ’different grains foster different people,’ is just about this.

In fact, what Qu Jianlei lacks the most now is the relevant information to break through to Nascent Soul.

Granny Jia has also been anxiously waiting for this information, and even the Paranoid... roughly needs it too.

As a result, Qu Jianlei is considering whether to first break through to Nascent Soul himself and then help them deduce the corresponding cultivation techniques.

However, he also knows well that advancing to Supreme—okay, advancing to Golden Core—has only taken about ten years.

In such a short period, it’s impossible to break through to Nascent Soul, let alone that he really doesn’t have the corresponding information.

Solely relying on the classics from the Daoist Sect of Blue Star, there’s still a long way to go.

Whenever he thinks of this matter, he feels a bit helpless, not wanting to avoid it but truly feeling powerless.

Previously, Nutrient Injection spoke of "ideas beyond Supreme," and Qu Jianlei wasn’t unmoved.

However, he instinctively thought: their path was wrong from the start; how can a high imitation guide the genuine version?

Now he has no choice but to face this temptation, reflecting on the lack of caution by the Divine Land predecessors.

After pondering for a moment, he asked aloud, "This is indeed somewhat useful for me, name a price."

Nutrient Injection hesitated, then shook his head slowly.

"I haven’t thought of a price yet. If you’re interested, I’ll proceed... an advance of a hundred thousand would suffice."

Earlier, Qu Jianlei had already taken out one worth two hundred thousand and another fifty thousand, plus this one makes eighty thousand.

For someone more cautious, they would somewhat consider if they’re being deceived.

But Qu Jianlei didn’t hesitate to pull out the ten thousand tablets and even asked.

"Is it really this cheap?"

As the saying goes, if one loses a Supreme’s favor due to deceit, it wouldn’t be worthwhile.

Moreover, he doesn’t believe that an A-level who holds a large amount of information would make such a foolish choice.

Sure enough, Nutrient Injection coolly replied, "Then just add a bit more to your favor, my lord."

Qu Jianlei smiled at the words, "I didn’t expect my favor to be so valuable."

"Think through it"—Nutrient Injection actually responded with this, then raised his head and waved at him.

"Alright, your team should be nearby the Polar Regions recently? I’ll contact you when there’s news."

After speaking, he walked into another small alley and soon disappeared into the drizzle.

"Even knows where we are?" Qu Jianlei looked towards the direction in which he disappeared with a peculiar expression.

The Big Head Butterfly spun in his mind, "This person always has the Pioneer; I can keep an eye on him."

"Alright, thank you for your effort," Qu Jianlei responded, feeling an odd sensation in his heart.

This Nutrient Injection... shouldn’t sell out his team.

Then he returned to the Polar Regions and began inspecting the storage device obtained from the other party.

Ke Rui’an’s gang has quite a few Supremes; there are six core members and seven or eight peripheral ones.

Supremes maintaining good relations with this gang have numbered more than twenty.

Even in the Divine Text Association, this constitutes quite a formidable force, and Ke Rui’an himself is also a senior figure of the Divine Text Association.

Now that Ke Rui’an is dead, the gang didn’t disperse. Instead, a new leader was chosen.

"Revenge? Not urgent," Qu Jianlei decided, "Accumulating data beyond Supreme seriously needs doing."

Prior to this, he had been arranging the calculations to impact the path beyond Supreme.

However, at that time, he had little direction and worried about taking the wrong path, and didn’t fully commit to calculations.

Now, having paid Nutrient Injection the deposit, he felt it necessary to get serious.

Once Qu Jianlei commits, he absolutely wouldn’t just work in isolation.

Thus, in the following time, he interacted a lot with Granny Jia and the Paranoid, primarily discussing the path to Nascent Soul.

The two were also quite interested in this, especially Jia Shuqing, who could sense the leader was putting in effort.

Granny Jia clearly understood her remaining time to impact beyond Supreme was running short and cooperated earnestly.

As a result, the three often discussed for days and nights.

Though often unable to convince each other, brainstorming was mainly for sparking inspiration.

In the blink of an eye, more than two months had passed.

The path beyond Supreme remains murky, yet oddly enough, Qu Jianlei inadvertently concocted the symbolic ink!

Like other calculations, the symbolic ink is only a preliminary version, wasteful and mediocre in various data aspects.

Nonetheless, having some product to show is worth celebrating.

Just at this moment, the Big Head Butterfly spun again, "Boss, Nutrient Injection contacted you, there’s something up."
