Regarding Qu Jianlei's question, Artifact Spirit responded plausibly.
"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 Artifact Spirit creatures be so confident when they do something wrong?"
Artifact Spirit replied, "If I am willing to cooperate, the value will be much higher than that little property. Don't you think the previous transaction was unfair?"
"You just..." Qu Jianlei was a little depressed.
After a pause, he said, "Isn't the point... I wasn't the one who proposed the deal, it was you who took the initiative?"
"I reneged on the conditions I made, and now I blame the deal for being unfair?"
Artifact Spirit was silent, and after a while he answered, "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, Artifact 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.
And for our own 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 Xiao Hu, and we'll settle the matter... I'm not interested in testing human nature, well, and the character of Artifact Spirit."
"You can refine Abode this time," Artifact Spirit 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," Artifact Spirit answered directly, "Are those empty-headed communications meaningful?"
"To put it bluntly, with your Nascent Soul Realm cultivation level, it's still a bit low. That's just the lower limit. It's normal for me to be unwilling."
"You are really... upright," Qu Jianlei glanced at Plastic Little Snake on his wrist, "Senior Jiao, what do you think?"
"It's consistent with my understanding," Jiao Daoren 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 Nascent Soul cultivation, can I refine Abode?"
"It depends on whether it is willing to cooperate," Jiao Daoren replied, "If it is willing, there is nothing wrong with it."
"Out-of-Body Realm Great Expert's Abode has endless mysteries. If Artifact Spirit is willing to cooperate, anything can happen."
"At least it has to be Nascent Soul cultivation," Artifact Spirit emphasized, "If it's Golden Core Realm... it will burn out and turn into ashes."
Qu Jianlei thought about it 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, it is impossible to count the Dark Red Celestial Body I promised you... If you make a mistake, you will have to pay the price."
"That's no problem," Artifact Spirit replied without hesitation, "Whenever you feel that my value is enough, you can give it to me again!"
"You are so shameless..." Qu Jianlei is 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," Artifact Spirit 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 soul of the Out-of-Body Realm. Are there any hidden dangers in my Sea of Consciousness?"
"Some Out-of-Body Realm smell," Artifact Spirit replied without hesitation, "But it's nothing serious."
"It's just Incense Divinity Path. Without Incense Fire, it's like water without a source and a tree without roots."
"If it can be refined properly, it will be beneficial to you Out-of-Body Realm."
"Boss, this is what I told it," Xiao Hu's clone explained on the side, "I feel like something is not right with you Sea of Consciousness."
Because of the death of the main body, its clone lacked the memory of Flying Centipede.
But after reuniting with the boss, especially after entering the boss's Sea of Consciousness, it learned a lot.
"Beneficial... I hope so," Qu Jianlei Diandian nodded thoughtfully.
Then he found everyone and held a small meeting.
He has never liked the formality of meetings, but as the team grows larger, it is still necessary to unify ideas appropriately.
Everyone heard that the missing Celestial Hook Mystic Mansion actually came to our door, which was also a surprise.
Jia Shuiqing directly stated that he could consider putting aside his past grudges - after all, this is a world where strength comes first.
If he is not strong enough, he may not even be able to protect his own things, let alone the sudden arrival of the Potian Fu Gui.
Duo Gan, who sent a clone to guard Dark Red Celestial Body, also said that the other party did not take action against Dark Red Celestial Body, so it could be saved.
Paranoid, on the other hand, thinks that we need to settle the score with the other party - anyway, the team is not without Abode.
Although the conditions of the two Abode 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 a suggestion. She thought it was necessary to do some divination.
Abode is indeed involved in Out-of-Body Great Venerable, but if Artifact Spirit can't even cover this cause and effect, what's the use of it?
Sure enough, when Qu Jianlei asked for fortune telling, Artifact Spirit was a little embarrassed.
"You can't believe me. I can understand that, but this Abode thing is quite a hindrance. Aren't you worried about the backlash?"
Qu Jianlei, however, had a straight face, "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 Xiao Hu's face, I wouldn't have given you this opportunity."
"Now that we have embarked on the path of spiritual practice, it is good for everyone to be well and to help each other. How can we forget each other Jianghu?"
When he said this, he completely let go of the entanglements in his heart.
Xiao Hu It's enough if you can come back safely... It doesn't matter whether you defect to us or not.
Qi Ling also struggled for about ten seconds before sighing, "... I hope we all have a long-term future in the future."
Qu Jianlei divined a hexagram, and it turned out to be "Supreme Auspicious" that he saw for the first time! The reason why it is not "up to Supreme Auspicious" is mainly because... such an important weapon should not be held by the Nascent Soul Realm.
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 took another guess and wanted to know how long it would take for him to refine Abode.
The hexagram is very clear this time - the lower limit is thirty-six years, and this requires the unconditional cooperation of Artifact Spirit.
This was a bit depressing, but after learning about it, Artifact Spirit said that it would be thirty-six years, not longer!
The key is that it also said that it can execute Oath of the Heavenly Dao and so on, and thirty-six years only means complete refining.
It means that in just three days, boss, you can refine part of Abode's power.
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. Even Artifact Spirit couldn't help but remind him that you need to take a break for at least a month!
Otherwise, Great Expert is Great Expert after all, and Artifact Spirit, who hangs out with Great Expert, can actually have such insight.
Qu Jianlei Diandian head, went into seclusion to rest without saying a word.
Artifact Spirit 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 the clone of Xiao Hu, and it is the first clone, refined to be the least human-like.
But precisely because of this, Xiao Hu 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..." Artifact Spirit muttered softly.
What puzzles it most is that the other party is just a data packet, not even Artifact Spirit. How can it be so connected with its owner? Qu Jianlei rested for five days before starting to refine Celestial Hook Mystic Mansion.
During these five days, he also thought about this guy's credibility.
However, after thinking carefully, he must admit that Artifact Spirit's "quasi-betrayal" was actually not a bad thing.
First of all, if Artifact Spirit hadn't had other thoughts, it wouldn't have taken Xiao Hu's clone so seriously.
If the clone of Xiao Hu is really outside Abode, it will definitely be taken away by a wave when the main body dies.
If this really happens, at least Qu Jianlei... I can't figure out how to resurrect Xiao Hu at the moment.
Secondly, the conditions that Artifact Spirit originally opened were a bit condescending - I will only let you refine it if you help me.
So it keeps emphasizing - this is your chance! If we really want to refine it like that, it's really hard to say who will take precedence in the subsequent cooperation.
Even though Qu Jianlei is the nominal master of Abode, can he control Artifact Spirit 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 trace of the Mystic Mansion's authority, and then summoned High-Fidelity Replica.
This guy High-Fidelity Replica is really amazing. Although Xiao Hu's clone is extremely crude, it actually recognized him immediately.
Then it transformed into Stick Figure, hugged the robot's thigh directly, and screamed randomly.
Qu Jianlei can't understand what it is shouting, but the excitement and joy from the heart can 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," Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes, "Guess where it is?"
