Chapter 167 Forgotten Gains (Third Update)
"How many did you find?" Jamaari’s eyebrows furrowed, "Just one in total."
Qu Jianlei was stunned, "Only one?"
The Inspector gave him a strange look and then nodded, "Indeed, just one. To investigate thoroughly, I killed quite a few people."
Pausing for a mont, he honestly expressed, "Actually, I’m also curious whether Terry can directly cultivate using the Crystal."
"That’s why I’ve been keeping a close eye on the Crystals, making sure nothing is missed."
"That’s good!" Qu Jianlei nodded slightly. Bentley had more than twenty B-level Crystals in hand, along with a ’re’ nine A-level Crystals.
So losing one B-level Crystal was not a big deal. Perhaps Bentley intended to use it for cultivation.
However, the fact that even cultivation Crystals were lost showed how urgent the situation was at the ti.
Seeing him nod, Jamaari finally breathed a sigh of relief and then glanced at him again.
That glance imdiately stunned him, "Are you... at B-level now?"
He had been preoccupied, talking for so long that he hadn’t noticed Qu Jianlei’s aura had changed.
Qu Jianlei shook his head and answered frankly, "I don’t know if I’m at B-level. My cultivation philosophy... is different from others."
Jamaari cautiously asked, "What’s different, can you tell ?"
Qu Jianlei gave him a faint look and didn’t speak, but his aning was clear.
In such a bad mood, you want to ask about sothing so sensitive?
Seeing this, Jamaari could only awkwardly reply, "Alright, you adjust first... If you need anything, contact us."
In the following three months, there was still no news from the Celestial District.
There’s no news of Bentley and Flower Scorpion either, which is expected since they are known for being elusive, but there was also no news from the attackers.
Qu Jianlei continued calculating techniques slowly and seed unperturbed.
However, Xiao Moshan was getting restless.
After obtaining the cultivation thod from Jian Lei, the effects were apparent.
Even though he paid five B-level Crystals, he still felt compelled to do sothing.
Being a Warrior with the Wind Attribute made it convenient to gather information, so he ca back to find Qu Jianlei.
"Two factions are most suspicious, one being the Douglas Clan and the other the Andre Clan."
The Andre Clan is the one behind the Frost Wolf, and after the Frost Wolf’s death, they were investigating all over Central City.
What Qu Jianlei was curious about was, "The Douglas Clan... what does that an?"
Xiao Moshan replied, "I also wonder what their connection is, but I heard an Ultimate Warrior went to the Celestial District and hasn’t been heard from since."
This Warrior went under an alias, but he used it quite often, so people rembered.
Normally nobody cares about this, but now every clue must be thoroughly checked.
Then he carefully investigated and discovered the Douglas Family had been acting very low profile lately.
Xiao Moshan was straightforward, but gathering information is his forte, so he didn’t lack attention to detail.
The B-level Warrior died not long ago, so being low profile is expected, but this outward calm and inward tension... what’s going on?
He watched for three nights and discovered one detail: The Douglas Family seems to have two missing Ultimate Warriors.
The previously missing one with an alias wasn’t a family Warrior, just soone from their faction.
The two who disappeared were pure family mbers, and one was about to be promoted to Elder.
Soone in the family ntioned they hadn’t seen those two in a while, but others forbade discussions, saying they were cultivating in seclusion.
The Douglas Clan, including its faction, only had about ten Ultimate Warriors. Losing three at once is no small matter.
Then Xiao Moshan discovered that the Douglas Family was secretly connecting with close factions, plotting sothing unknown.
But he couldn’t figure out why this clan would target Terry.
Could it be they were interested in the Electromagnetic Attribute Cultivation thod? That shouldn’t be the case; who would dare step into such a big pit?
After hearing what he said, Qu Jianlei frowned and pondered for a while but couldn’t figure it out either.
"By the way, do you still have any B-level Crystals? I’d like to buy so."
Xiao Moshan gave him a surprised look, "Don’t you have quite a few B-level Crystals?"
This guy, being of the Wind Attribute and particularly concerned about Qu Jianlei’s moves, knew almost everything about him.
"Recently, I’ve been using quite a lot," Qu Jianlei answered seriously.
When he ca to Central City, he brought nine B-level Crystals himself and later got about ten more.
But previously, in deducing Wind Attribute cultivation and lately in calculating techniques, he used most of them.
Now he only had four B-level left, although he still had two A-level ones he didn’t plan to use yet.
As soone who doesn’t feel secure, he thought having just four B-level Crystals was a bit low.
Moreover, calculating techniques really consus Crystals.
"Tsk," Xiao Moshan clicked his tongue in frustration, "Is ten enough?"
"That should be enough for now," Qu Jianlei nodded upon hearing this, "How much for each?"
The price for a B-level Crystal in Central City was roughly six to eight thousand silver coins each, depending on quality.
His funds were a bit tight, but as neighbors, installnt paynts shouldn’t be tough, right?
"I’ll give it to you for half-price, thirty-five grand," Xiao Moshan offered straightforwardly, "Taking more from you would be a hassle."
Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes helplessly, "You’ve already figured out my entire net worth."
But Xiao Moshan replied very directly, "I’m leaving you with so living expenses, but this half-price does co with conditions."
