True Venerable Min Ning's eye seemed even sharper than Baiqiao's; he had actually noticed the part about "traveling through multiple Otherworlds."
"Small cultivators can only go with the flow," Qu Jianlei sighed softly. "I heard the Great Venerable had summoned us, so I hurried over without daring to delay."
"You want to inspect a Tier 4 Spirit Vein?" True Venerable Min Ning did not waste words either, getting straight to the point. "Would Yanfeng Three work?"
Wasn't this the trip that had been interrupted before? Qu Jianlei felt faintly puzzled.
Was it purely a coincidence, or had this diviner calculated it?
But it did not matter if he could not figure it out. He turned to True Immortal Jin Ge. "Senior, you're more familiar with matters of the Upper Realm."
The Art Venerable was somewhat less respectful toward this man, which showed that the Lingyun Sect truly drew a clear line between insiders and outsiders.
So Qu Jianlei did not claim the idea for himself. It should not count as disrespect—he genuinely was not familiar with the Houde Realm.
"Sure." True Immortal Jin Ge nodded decisively without ceremony. "Ridge Lord Qu, don't you have a meeting gift?"
As if you needed to say that. Qu Jianlei grumbled inwardly, but he noticed that the Art Venerable had called him Ridge Lord Qu rather than "Little Qu"! Such a simple form of address carried many implications.
So he promptly released a Secondary Nest. "This is a Level Two Asura Bubble. Thank you, Senior, for your consideration."
"Oh, Level Two." True Venerable Min Ning smiled as he gave it a few glances, then raised a hand and put it away. "Little friend, you truly have considerable wealth."
"Not at all. It hurts to part with it," Qu Jianlei said with a bitter smile.
