Chapter 1992 The Demonic Trace of Zhongzhou

It didn’t take three days at all. On the afternoon of the next day after Claire talked to the other party, a flying boat stopped at the gate of the manor.

Duan Bowen was the only one in the flying boat, and he had changed his appearance a little.

After seeing Qu Jianlei, Duan Bowen smiled bitterly, and the first sentence was, "Master Qu Ling, you have kept it a secret from me!"

"Hmm?" Qu Jianlei raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean, fellow Daoist?"

"It is said that more than two months ago, fellow Daoist frequently appeared in Hongye Ridge," Duan Bowen answered frankly, "Zhongzhou pays a lot of attention to Dongsheng."

There is nothing to say. The cultivators in Zhongzhou will notice it sooner or later. If he doesn't say it, it will seem that he is out of touch with the news.

Qu Jianlei didn't care about the news leaking. As long as the other party can accept it, he doesn't care.

So he nodded, "Oh, who doesn't have some trump cards?"

"Your Hongye Ridge trump cards are a bit too much," Duan Bowen couldn't help rolling his eyes when he heard it.

He had heard that not only Qu Jianlei, but also Jing Yuexin, frequently appeared in Dongsheng.

There was usually a two-month error in the transmission of information between Dongsheng and Zhongzhou, so he just realized it now.

Fortunately, now in the entire Zhongzhou, only the Duan family should be able to confirm that the owner of this place came from Hongyeling, Dongsheng.

So he asked without hesitation, "I wonder how you travel between Dongsheng and Zhongzhou?"

"It's over," Qu Jianlei coughed dryly, "I want to ask fellow Daoist Bowen, have you found the whereabouts of the two pieces of information?"

"I have them all," Duan Bowen could ask directly, so he must have something to show off, otherwise how could he dare to be so presumptuous?

Let's talk about the repair fluid first. In fact, it was sold by two different smugglers, and they all got it by chance in Dongsheng.

The first one who sold the repair fluid knew that it came from Hongyeling, and the second one was not even sure of the news.

But this is not surprising. Although smugglers are cautious, they will deliberately avoid asking about the source of such accidental business.

The latter heard that the former sold at a high price, and then remembered that he also had such a treasure, so he sent it to auction.

Duan Bowen was able to quickly figure out the cause and effect, in fact, it was a bit of a coincidence.

It was the first family that heard that the repair fluid had appeared again, so it mobilized its forces to find the second family.

There are not many such treasures, and it is impossible for two families to operate together. There must be an explanation for this matter!

His two families were on the verge of a fight, and he didn't expect that there were people hiding in the dark and watching coldly.

Duan Bowen thought it was a bit ridiculous, but he didn't have any hostility towards the two families. It was a casual transaction that happened by chance, so there was really no need to care about it.

However, when talking about the second thing, his expression became solemn, "The one who took away the stone jar should be someone from the Star Hall."

"Star Hall..." Qu Jianlei was speechless after hearing this, and paused before asking, "Do you know who did it?"

"I can't find it out," Duan Bowen shook his head very straightforwardly, and this attitude made people feel a little irresponsible.

But then, he showed his value again, "The bidder is Jindan, it should be someone's agent."

"What a bummer," Qu Jianlei shook his head and muttered softly, "Let's forget it."

"It's nothing more than the Star Palace," Duan Bowen was a little unconvinced, "We can increase the price to buy it, it's always okay to give it a try."

"Then go and try it," Qu Jianlei was a little uninterested, "I'm not interested."

"Then I'll ask around," Duan Bowen replied indifferently, "In fact, I only got half of the information."

The Star Palace is indeed powerful, but the Duan family and Hongye Ridge together are also a considerable force.

If the person participating in the auction is a true immortal, he will definitely give up without thinking.

But for a mere real person, it's a bit too far away - even if it's a close relative of a true immortal, it's useless.

The only ones who can be presumptuous in the circle of true immortals are true immortals, and even a little bit of difference is not acceptable!

"It doesn't matter if I can't find out," Qu Jianlei waved his hand, "I'm lucky if I get it, I'm dead if I lose it... Is there any news about the fourth-level spiritual vein?"

"Not yet," Duan Bowen shook his head, hesitated and asked tentatively, "Daoyou, are you...just back?"

"Yeah," Qu Jianlei nodded, and then asked, "What else have you heard about Dongsheng, do you know about energy blocks?"

"I heard about it," Duan Bowen nodded very straightforwardly. He was hesitating about how to start, but he didn't expect the other party to bring it up on his own initiative.

He said excitedly, "You may not know that Zhongzhou has also been hit by the demons recently."

"I heard a little bit about it," Qu Jianlei nodded. Come on, there are many people from Hongyeling in such a big manor.

But the next moment, he realized what the other party meant, and for a moment he was a little amused, "What do you think of the energy block?"

This is what he wanted to ask the most, but as expected, Duan Bowen really asked, "The energy source of the demon nemesis?"

I knew you were thinking about the probe, Qu Jianlei was a little speechless, and he even gave you such a nickname?

He looked serious, "I'm asking you something serious, fellow Taoist, this thing is not tolerated by the Cangwu world!"

"Are you afraid of polluting the spiritual energy?" Duan Bowen raised his eyebrows. As expected, the vision of the immortal cultivator is really extraordinary.

But then, he shook his head indifferently, "In the face of a powerful enemy, it is good to be able to use it for us."

"If the Cangwu world is occupied by the demon, does it matter whether the spiritual energy is polluted?"

Really worthy of being an immortal cultivator, Qu Jianlei couldn't help but sigh in his heart, his tolerance for items from another world is really high.

Before that, he had learned about Ji Xiaohua's attitude towards alien races through chatting, so he released the tree traitor in the void.

Now Duan Bowen is the same. He doesn't care about the origin of the energy block at all. He thinks that it's good as long as the problem can be solved.

It is said that cultivators pay attention to "my life is in my own hands, not in the hands of God". When encountering something unpleasant, they are really willing to go all out.

Of course, this is still related to the self-confidence of cultivators-dominating so many worlds, and no one has ever been defeated.

Qu Jianlei nodded slightly, "Then it's okay, you continue to inquire, and contact again in two months."

"Master Qu Ling, don't play like this," Duan Bowen heard a little anxious, "Many of Hongyeling's businesses have not been launched in Zhongzhou."

Qu Jianlei looked at him with a smile, without saying a word, and it lasted for two or three minutes.

Seeing that the other party was a little nervous, he sighed lightly, "I'm not in a hurry to launch... Do you want to act as an agent for the probe?"

No mistakes in one song, one post, one content, one content, one book, one bar, one 6, one 9!

However, Duan Bowen shook his head and answered simply, "I can't afford it. I'm not qualified to think about such a large amount of spiritual stones."

The business of the detector is so big that he can't help but be jealous.

But the demand in the whole Zhongzhou is too great. With a population of nearly 100 billion, at least one million units can be sold, right?

The cost of the detector is a mystery, needless to say, but selling a set for 100 spiritual stones may not make money.

But the related consumables, energy blocks, are definitely not profitable, otherwise no one can survive.

Even if Hongyeling really dares to claim that it is not profitable, someone will immediately say: Then you raise the price immediately, we all support it.

This is the trend in Dongsheng now. No one says that energy blocks are expensive. What they complain more about is... this thing is limited to purchase!

Duan Bowen has left Dongsheng for more than half a year, but the latest news shows that Hongyeling has been terribly popular recently.

He carefully calculated and finally thought that he really couldn't take over the business of this detector.

Strictly speaking, it is the energy blocks involved in the detector. This business is not only too big, but also too sensitive.

In fact, the most favorite transactions for practitioners of unconventional foreign trade are bulk common commodities.

Not only does it make money quickly, but it is also low-key and makes a fortune quietly.

The demand for energy blocks is not small, but it is too sensitive, and once it is taken over, it will be a monopoly.

Duan Bowen definitely does not want to be the target of public criticism. He rolled his eyes, "That repair fluid..."

"Don't think about it," Qu Jianlei shook his head, "Do you know who in Dongsheng has set his sights on the repair fluid?"

"I don't care who he is." Duan Bowen replied disapprovingly, "Does anyone dare to provoke Hongyeling?"

During this period, he received a lot of news from Dongsheng, mainly because there are more and more demons there, and Zhongzhou is paying close attention.

But there is also a lot of news from Hongyeling. Although the timeliness is a little worse, he also knows how popular the other party is recently and how good its reputation is.

This newly rising force is enough to crush any of the twelve major forces in terms of strength and reputation.

Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes at him, "Yuan Yi Zhenxian, has talked to me twice."

"Tsk, the rotating deacon," Duan Bowen couldn't help but suck his teeth when he heard this, "This is a headache."

Yuan Yi Zhenxian came from Liangyi Sect, which is just one of the twelve major forces.

But the status of the alliance deacon is not ordinary, it represents the interests of the cultivators of the entire Dongsheng, not to mention that he is on duty.

Although Duan Bowen thinks highly of himself and believes in the strength of Hongye Ridge, Yuan Yi... is really not easy to mess with.

Qu Jianlei glanced at him, "If you find out about the fourth-level spiritual vein, I can give you two bottles of repair fluid."

According to the last auction price, two bottles of repair fluid are worth 2,400 upper spirits.

But the account is not calculated like this. Although the upper spirit is precious, the repair fluid is truly in short supply.

And if the City Lord's Mansion hadn't come forward last time, the auction price would not have been limited to 1,200.

However, Duan Bowen's face straightened when he heard this, "Master Qu Ling, who are you looking down on? What benefits do you want from helping a friend?"

Although I really want it, I am also a big shot, right?

"That way you will have the motivation to help," Qu Jianlei replied with a smile, and then his face straightened again.

"Okay, Hongyeling has a lot of external business, what do you want to take?"

He does not reject making friends, but friends with interests can go further.

And this is what Duan Bowen wants to hear. Although the two repair fluids are valuable, they are not a long-term livelihood.

He nodded and said with a smile, "So what kind of business do you have? I really don't know."
