"After everyone reaches the fourth level of Qi Consumption?"
Qin Lie narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Lu He.
After a moment of silence.
"Brother Lu, you have thought things through quite thoroughly. Since that is the case, I will not beat around the bush either. Once you join the team in the future, you will still need to sign an immortal contract. The senior sisters will explain all this to you in detail."
He shook his head with a faint laugh, then said evenly:

"Seventy percent?"
Zheng Jingren could not help crying out, his voice brimming with astonishment.
"Isn't that far too high?"
"High?"
Qin Lie swept his gaze over the two before him and gave a scornful laugh.
"Do you two know just how great the opportunities in White-Scale Lake's core region are?"
He pointed to where the Water-Patrolling Yaksha had fallen earlier.

As soon as those words fell.
Zheng Jingren immediately fell silent.
"Brother Lu, what do you think?"
Qin Lie's gaze
