Starting Cultivation in Wasteland

Chapter 934 - 802: Three Supreme Formations

Qu Jianlei casually inquired about the rival factions.If they overlapped with his enemies—like the Cyan Blade Commerce Association—then he would strike hard.

But if they had nothing to do with him, he might not be interested in seeking revenge intentionally.

So Xiao Moshan’s suggestion was really in line with his thoughts.

Next, what he needed to know was, "How do we rescue her... Where is she being held?"

Xiao Moshan replied, "She is currently detained on Star No. 3, I can go and investigate first."

Upon hearing this, Qu Jianlei murmured, "She was captured on the Star of Hope."

He had witnessed Youyou being taken away; at the time, he was also one of those who had been rescued.

The crux of the problem, however, is that Star No. 3 is no ordinary habitable star, it’s where the Star Realm Military Region is headquartered.

There, not only is there a large military presence, but also a recruit camp with a quasi-military management, making infiltration very difficult.

Additionally, because there are so many troops, equipped with numerous Cultivation Rooms, the number of Supremes is also quite high.

On other habitable stars, the number of Supremes is in single digits, but on Star No. 3, it’s definitely double digits.

Quasi-military management along with so many Supremes would puzzle anyone.

Xiao Moshan sighed, "She is a key investigation target and was moved to Star No. 3 long ago."

Qu Jianlei looked at him, "Didn’t you say you still had some loose ends to tie up, is it convenient to go to Star No. 3?"

Xiao Moshan rubbed his forehead, answering with a hint of resignation, "I’ll have to figure out a way to sneak in."

"To get in touch with her, I also need to find someone to help... in such matters, staying out of sight is inappropriate."

To be honest, Qu Jianlei was previously a bit irritated with Xiao Moshan’s attitude.

But now it seems that this guy hasn’t changed much, willing to take risks to scout for a former comrade.

Bear in mind, his relationship with Youyou wasn’t particularly close; the two didn’t cooperate for long before she left with him.

The fact that he had such dedication is indeed commendable—perhaps a soldier’s camaraderie?

Thinking of this, Qu Jianlei sent Spiritual Power to Granny Jia, asking if she could help, "?"

The old lady’s response was much clearer, essentially saying, "I don’t want to get involved!"

It’s not that she had any objections to Xiao Moshan, but she thought this matter was really too trivial.

If they needed her assistance just to get to Star No. 3... it would be better not to go with such capability!

In the end, Xiao Moshan left on his own, and Qu Jianlei didn’t pay any more attention.

In the manor, everyone continued their cultivation leisurely, while the calculations also progressed.

More than ten days later, Xiao Moshan called Xiao Qin, wanting to speak with Qu Jianlei.

He had already connected with Youyou through his network.

Youyou expressed her willingness to follow Jian Lei in interstellar wandering, showing that the military had caused her significant harm this time.

Xiao Moshan already had a rescue plan, but the problem was he couldn’t implement it alone; he needed Jian Lei to assist.

Qu Jianlei approached Granny Jia, explained the situation, hoping for her assistance.

The old lady had been cultivating quite diligently recently, as she truly experienced its benefits and could suspend her cultivation at any time.

Unlike the Paranoid, who was still refining the fusion of Spiritual Power and physical body lately.

This slight adjustment emphasized perception greatly, making distractions less convenient.

But Granny Jia didn’t refuse, "Let’s take a trip then, we’ll be quick about it."

"Count me in," surprisingly, the Paranoid emerged from seclusion again, "There’s nothing much going on in the manor anyway."

The final adjustments are this vexing; during seclusion, interruption is not ideal, but without insights, seclusion is also futile.

"You stay and guard the manor," Qu Jianlei declared in a deep voice, "We need someone to oversee here... Flower Scorpion is about to advance."

The Paranoid replied dismissively, "She’s far from advancing, it doesn’t matter, who dares to cause trouble on Jia Shuiqing’s turf?"

In fact, he had other considerations, "If we manage to seize the opportunity, we could secure two Super Qi Gathering Arrays!"

Rescuing a B-level Awakened does not require three Supremes, but seizing Super Qi Gathering Arrays, that’s another matter.

Qu Jianlei, upon hearing this, was also moved, glancing at Granny Jia unconsciously.

The old lady snorted coldly, "This matter should be considered carefully... after all, this is the Edge Star Realm!"

The Paranoid replied indifferently, "The garrison in the Edge Star Realm is indeed elite, but also chaotic enough, why not?"

"The Prosperous Star Realm would be more convenient," Granny Jia asserted without hesitation, "I can’t believe you don’t have similar information."

The Paranoid, hearing this, rubbed his forehead in frustration, "You’re right, but in prosperous places... there will only be more Supremes!"

"But interest entanglements are more chaotic," Granny Jia pointed out bluntly, "Under mutual restraint, there might be more opportunities!"

The Paranoid nodded with a frown, "You have a point too, but since we’re going, why not give it a try?"

In the end, he managed to persuade the two of them—if there was indeed a chance to obtain something, they might as well give it a shot.

Next, Granny Jia once again demonstrated her influence on Star No. 2, actually borrowing an armed merchant ship!

In the entire Star Realm, Star No. 2 is a relatively mature habitable star, producing quite a bit of goods.

And Star No. 3 is under quasi-military management with limited output, so the volume of goods transported between the two planets is not low.

The old lady didn’t forget to ask Qu Jianlei, "Can you pilot a starship?"

Qu Jianlei thought he was competent... He had indeed pondered it carefully, and even without using Little Lake, basic operations were not a problem.

The Paranoid said he had no problem either, feeling that he and Rhodiola rosea could handle piloting the ship together.

Interesting enough, Granny Jia’s piloting skills were also very high.

In her words — "Space is so unfriendly to people, I can learn nothing else, but I must learn to pilot a ship!"

Thus, the three Supreme teamed up and actually managed to launch the starship into space manually.

However, all three were using false identities, and generally speaking, people wouldn’t care too much about the crew’s identities.

Moreover, the starship she borrowed had quite an origin and also had a bypass pass.

The three landed smoothly on Star No. 3, completed the necessary formalities, and walked out of the Star Port.

However, walking out of the Star Port wasn’t the end; true to its quasi-military management, outside the Star Port there were numerous energy scanners.

Someone keenly noticed the three of them and approached to ask, "You all..."

Granny Jia took out a card, waved it at the person without saying a word, just looking calmly.

The other side was visibly unwilling — for someone to be in their position, they must have strong connections with the military.

However, seeing the cold look in their eyes and thinking about the documentation’s origin, they hesitated for a moment and finally chose to step back silently.

Seeing this scene, Qu Jianlei wasn’t surprised.

Even he could get hold of so many documents; Granny Jia, with her impeccable background, surely could as well.

But it’s undeniable that having someone like her around certainly made things much easier.

The three walked out of the Star Port and quickly disappeared into the crowd.

Early the next morning, they arrived at the designated place, a mid-range gym.

In the Hope Star Realm, Star No. 3 has the densest gyms, which is considered a characteristic of the planet.

Considering the large military presence here, there shouldn’t be a lack of public fitness facilities, and the military’s gyms are free.

However, precisely because of this, some people who cannot enter the military region or dislike the checks there, simply work out outside.

In such cases, using public equipment easily invites ridicule, spending some money on a proper gym seems better.

Thus, the gyms here have a somewhat abnormal prosperity.

But this was not a major issue, the key was that in the morning, there weren’t many people in the gym.

In a well-equipped private gym, Qu Jianlei met Xiao Moshan.

Xiao Moshan was slightly surprised seeing that three Supremes had come.

But the next moment, he adjusted his mindset and got straight to the point, "I can get her out, but it will cost money."

"Problems that can be solved with money are not problems," Qu Jianlei straightforwardly stated, "Where can you get her to?"

"Out of the military region," Xiao Moshan quickly replied, "There are eight hours... beyond that, it’s uncertain."

Granny Jia nodded without hesitation, "Eight hours is enough."

Xiao Moshan quickly added, "But it requires three million unnamed Silver Notes, no less."

That’s quite an appetite, considering Qu Jianlei now has seven or eight billion, but that was accumulated bit by bit.

When he just escaped from the Garbage Star, he only had a little over a million.

Anyway, Xiao Moshan couldn’t come up with this money and had to seek help from Jian Lei.

But to say it’s much, it’s not really that much, considering what needed to be done, this amount was nothing significant.

Granny Jia snorted lightly upon hearing this, "Three million, quite an achievement... what has it come to!"

Xiao Moshan knew what she meant and just smiled along, "They’re just exploiting a loophole, they wouldn’t dare ask for more."

In this gray-area business, more money isn’t necessarily better; giving just the right amount shows you know the trade.

Only by finding the right avenue can you say such things, proving that Xiao Moshan is indeed quite reliable in his work.

"That’s easy," Qu Jianlei understood what he meant, and with a flick of his hand, three stacks of Silver Notes appeared, "Where to pick her up?"

Xiao Moshan grabbed the notes and left, "TBD, meet here at this time tomorrow."

In the meantime, the three didn’t shy away but wandered around the vicinity openly.

Towards evening, the Paranoid suddenly spoke, "Ha ha, turns out there’s only one set of Super Qi Gathering Array."

Hearing this, even Qu Jianlei had to be impressed, knowing that he hadn’t figured out where the Super Qi Gathering Array was.

But Granny Jia just snorted coldly, "You’re mistaken, there are at least two sets."

Having broken through to Supreme above here, she held the strongest argument, "The one in the warehouse, can you perceive it?"
