Qu Jianlei chose to ignore the bait handed over by True Immortal Yongheng.

He has seen and heard too many things that were done under the guise of taunting the people, but were actually used to make profits for his own family.

In fact, it is a very useful trick. In the early stage, it can gain a lot of support both from public opinion and actual actions.

Once he achieves his personal goal, it doesn't matter if he reveals his true colors...

But Qu Jianlei is really not interested in this, "I don't care whether it's moral or not, just don't mess with me."

"And if I really want to mess with anyone, I won't consider the cost or reputation... Anyone who messes with me will die."

This is really not ordinary arrogance, True Immortal Yongheng is also a little speechless.

He could only remind again, "Even if a new Tier 4 Spirit Vein is discovered, the procedure will be more complicated to get it."

Qu Jianlei hesitated before speaking, "Then... just wait and see, the worst Central Province Dongsheng will run in both directions."

"You are really... willful," True Immortal Yongheng sighed softly, "It's great to be young."

The willfulness in his words really didn't mean any derogation, it was just envy of this feeling of pleasure and enmity.

However, in order to prevent the other party from being distracted, he still changed the topic, "What does Daoist friend say about charging six years of interest in advance?"

Qu Jianlei blinked his eyes and laughed, "Yongheng, what do fellow Daoists think it should be?"

"I don't know, that's why I asked," Yongheng raised his hand, wiped his long white eyebrows, and squatted for a moment to ask.

"It's about six years... Will there be changes in Heavenly Demon's invasion?"

Qu Jianlei's face changed slightly when he heard this, "You took Duan Bowen away, what exactly did you ask?"

True Immortal San Shi blocked the road and took Duan Bowen away. It was less than two hundred kilometers away from the manor. How could it be possible to hide it from him?

But since he was at Central Province, he didn't dare to abuse his spiritual consciousness. He just relied on his skillful control to sneak around.

Unexpectedly, he actually observed that scene.

But he didn't say anything at that time, he just wrote it down silently, but at this moment, he couldn't help it anymore.

However, this six-year period actually has nothing to do with him. At the beginning, he calculated that Heavenly Demon would launch a full-scale invasion within three or four years.

Calculated now, the difference between Buduo and Buduo is three years. The six years he mentioned were actually three years after Heavenly Demon's full-scale invasion.

We can basically make a judgment about what the scene will be like by then.

If Cangwu Realm resists too hard, it will be impossible for Qu Jianlei to collect the remaining debt.

But even Duan Bowen didn't know about this calculation in his heart. How did the other party know? "I have some knowledge of arithmetic," Yongheng said calmly, "Red Leaf Ridge is the breaker of this Heavenly Demon invasion."

Qu Jianlei originally raised his brows and became a little interested - he had never had in-depth communication with someone who was proficient in fortune-telling.

He highly doubted that Zhu Jiayi was proficient in calculations. That guy knew everything and was known as the core of the Zhu Family's brain trust.

But if people don't mention it, he won't ask - the most important thing about friends is heart-to-heart communication, so why force it?

However, when he heard the end, his original interest disappeared instantly, and he felt it was ridiculous - am I the game breaker? He had seen too many such vulgar words and was completely indifferent.

He almost laughed out loud, "Then you figure it out, what is our relationship with True Immortal Bowen?"

"How does he compare with you?" True Immortal Yongheng shook his head and answered seriously, "They are not on the same path at all."

This... is a bit interesting. Qu Jianlei became a little more serious, "Can you figure out when Heavenly Demon will fully invade?"

"How dare I count this?" True Immortal Yongheng shook his head and answered seriously.

"Central Province Nascent Soul Realm There are so many, and the causes and effects involved are so huge... I still want to stay useful and resist Heavenly Demon."

Qu Jianlei This is the first time I heard that divination is related to the Nascent Soul Realm quantity, but it is not difficult to understand.

"Then let me take the liberty to ask, how many Nascent Soul Realm can the Daoist friend's fortune-telling technique involve at most?"

"Huh?" True Immortal Yongheng looked at him in surprise, then slowly shook his head after thinking, "Where are the rules here?"

"I can't try it easily. It won't be more than a hundred anyway... Fellow Daoist, can you accurately calculate to this extent?"

The number of Central Province's Nascent Soul Realm must be over a hundred! Qu Jianlei sighed softly, "Just one Dongsheng is enough for me to take advantage of."

"Really?" Yongheng also became interested, "Then Dongsheng, when will it encounter a full-scale invasion by Heavenly Demon?"

Qu Jianlei had never told anyone this answer. He pondered for a moment before speaking, "If nothing else happens..."

The next moment, he slowly stretched out three fingers.

This topic was really shocking. True Immortal San Shi, who had been listening quietly, couldn't help but asked, "Three years, or thirty years?"

For Nascent Soul True Immortal, thirty years is not far away. After all, Nascent Soul Realm has a life span of two thousand.

But in three years, it would be too hasty to complete all combat preparations...

"Three years," Qu Jianlei replied calmly and emphasized, "If nothing else happens... you know how to calculate things."

This is the first time that he has announced his calculation results to Cultivator, so it is necessary to be as rigorous as possible.

Yongheng and True Immortal San Shi were silent. No one could have predicted that disaster would come so quickly.

But to say that Ridge Lord Qu is alarmist? There's really no need... What is he trying to do? As for the uncertainty of divination, both of them knew it well and there was no need to elaborate.

After a long time, True Immortal Yongheng asked in a deep voice, "Divining the entire Dongsheng future, I admire the power of divination from fellow Daoist Qu!"

He is very accomplished in calculations and understands the pressure that the opponent may encounter.

"I encountered some backlash," Qu Jianlei said lightly, "I'm also looking for opportunities, and I ask you two to keep the secret."

He didn't say what the opportunity was, but both of them knew in their hearts that it was an opportunity to change the fate of Dongsheng.

This will be difficult and the risks are quite high. What is rare is that the other party actually intends to persist.

True Immortal San Shi couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "I rarely convince others, but Ridge Lord Qu... I admire you!"

True Immortal Yongheng also said, "If Ridge Lord Qu can tell such secret information, we will definitely keep it secret."

Once the news spreads, it will cause chaos in society, but this is not the focus of their secret-keeping.

More importantly, this is the divination result obtained after experiencing huge backlash.

In Cultivation World, this level of privacy is extremely high. As long as the diviner is unwilling, no one has the power to force them to speak out.

After a pause, he asked carefully, "Will Central Province encounter the disaster a little later?"

Qu Jianlei thought it was possible, but he still spread his hands and said, "Sorry, I can't be sure. Why don't you try?"

"I don't want to die yet," Yongheng shook his head with regret.

Then he sighed deeply, "To be honest, knowing a lot of things in advance... it doesn't feel good."

This is the feeling that people who really know how to calculate will feel. Qu Jianlei nodded in agreement to Diandian, and then asked questions.

"Star Palace... isn't there Divination Expert?"

"We can't reach that kind of lofty person," True Immortal Yongheng replied calmly.

The dignified boss of the Five Friends Alliance actually said such words, which shows that the difference in status is indeed not small.

Then the two talked about the art of fortune-telling. Although it was not "Dao Discussion" Mode, they could inspire each other a lot.

After leaving, True Immortal Yongheng felt deeply, "No wonder the variable in dealing with Heavenly Demon should be Dongsheng, it really could be them..."

True Immortal San Shi carefully suggested, "Brother, he mentioned Star Palace. Is this intentional or unintentional?"

"This..." True Immortal Yongheng pondered for a moment and said, "A person like him shouldn't be able to talk nonsense. Is it because of Hai He?"

True Immortal Hai He was sent to Dongsheng by the Star Palace, and is currently responsible for coordinating affairs between the two major states.

The news like Red Leaf Ridge was mainly sent back by him.

Other smugglers can also send back some information, but the level of authority is much lower.

"Hai He..." True Immortal San Shi thought for a moment before speaking, "Then go to Duan Bowen and ask?"

"Don't provoke him anymore. After all, we have a good relationship with Red Leaf Ridge," True Immortal Yongheng shook his head, "I'll tell you later."

"But brother..." True Immortal San Shi hesitated to speak. He knew very well the harm that calculation would cause to his brother's body.

"What a big deal this is," True Immortal Yongheng said lightly, "Someone dares to take over the entire Dongsheng, I can't be too bad, right?"

Ten days later, he made a hexagram and unexpectedly discovered that Duan Bowen was really involved in the grievances between Red Leaf Ridge and Star Palace.

"This guy is involved in this kind of thing... what exactly is his method?"

At the same moment, Flying Shuttle came to the manor outside Liuguang City.

Flying Shuttle Seven or eight people came up and down, led by two Golden Core Realm, a man and a woman.

Behind the two people is High-Bearded High-Crowned Daoist, who has a clear face and looks a bit like a Daoist.

"Master, this is right here," the man Golden Core Realm pointed at the gate of the manor, "It used to be the land of the Five Friends Alliance, but now it has changed."

These two Golden Core Realm were apparently the same two men bidding for land with True Immortal San Shi.

Long-Bearded Daoist nodded slightly and said, "Go and hand over the greeting card. You must be polite first and then attack."

He does things in a fairly orderly manner, but the words "courtesy before fighting" have already shown his attitude.

But it was impossible to say this at the gate of the manor without being noticed.

Even if it is inconvenient for those Nascent Soul Realm-level streetwalkers to probe too far, there is still no problem at the doorstep.

Duo Gan noticed this scene and directly used his spiritual consciousness to inform Claire that these visitors were not malicious.

Keros went to greet the guests and recognized two Golden Core Realm at a glance - the other party had harassed them when they rented a house before.

Unfortunately, he is only Foundation Establishment Realm, so he cannot stop Golden Core Realm from visiting, he can only send the information back.

Claire was already mentally prepared. He walked to the door and frowned slightly when he saw the Golden Core Realm couple.

Then she said impatiently, "Are you done?"

The two Golden Core Realm looked at each other, and their bodies flashed to both sides, revealing Long-Bearded Daoist behind them.

(Updated to: I wish everyone a happy New Year's Eve reunion, safety and health.)
