Seeing him unpack layer by layer, Qu Jianlei laughed and said, "Why not sprinkle some poison on the package?"

Xiao Moshan glanced at him and replied flatly, "The materials need to be soaked in water first, otherwise they'll spontaneously combust!"

"Oh, come on," Qu Jianlei couldn't help but mutter, "Is that really necessary?"

Though he said that, he still condensed a ball of water and found a basin from his storage ring.

"It really is necessary," Xiao Moshan threw the materials into the water and replied seriously, "The spiritual attribute... has always been forbidden."

After taking the cultivation technique, the two quietly left.

In the following half month, Qu Jianlei approximately grasped the cultivation model emphasized by the spiritual attribute.

However, this model didn't quite match with his own Nameless Qi Refining Technique due to a clash in fundamental logic.

This dilemma made him quite anxious, and after analyzing and weighing it over ten days, he finally decided to follow his own path.

The reason for this decision was based on his judgment of his own cultivation technique.

He didn't think he was naturally attributeless but believed it was due to the basic technique he cultivated.

This wasn't an arbitrary guess; while testing other attribute techniques, he felt some incongruity.

So the techniques he used were mostly specially modified for himself.

Cultivation techniques and the superpower warriors... they should originally be different systems, right?

Even so, despite the speculation and practical support, making the decision was still very difficult.

Next, he moved on to improve the techniques related to the spiritual attribute, doing so with extreme caution, striving to avoid any mistakes.

During this process, the greatly enhanced computational ability of the small lake provided substantial support.

Yet even with this, merely modifying the technique took him four months and a lot of crystals.

During this period, Central City's search parties came to the orchard five times, each time more rigorous than the last.

From their conversation, it was clear they were searching for the Clear Wind Shadowless Blade and Jian Lei.

Qu Jianlei and Xiao Moshan enjoyed great support from the nearby villagers, and the search parties, being Central City locals, were quite perfunctory.

However, during the fifth time, someone in the search team inadvertently mentioned: the next leaders might be "those people."

That night, Qu Jianlei exposed the identity of the gorge people, causing a minor uproar in Central City.

In fact, those above the Ultimate Warrior level and many modified warriors knew those two words, but no one dared to mention them openly.

Qu Jianlei's shout let most ordinary people hear a new term.

The crux of the problem is that two houses were indeed pierced by lightning, and some people were injured.

The gorge people disdained to explain and arranged for Central City people to clear the rumors – this was Jian Lei's doing!

Central City people actually did it, but some mentioned, intentionally or unintentionally, that "those people" first attacked Jian Lei.

Jian Lei counterattacked, and the others hid in the houses, so you got caught in the crossfire.

Now, many more people in Central City know about the gorge people, though... still, no one dares to openly discuss it.

The gorge people were very angry about this but felt helpless, as they couldn't possibly kill everyone in Central City.

Qu Jianlei and Xiao Moshan were well aware that their identity couldn't withstand thorough scrutiny.

So, under the pretense of "contacting fruit buyers," they drove off directly to find a safe house.

With two to three months until the fruit ripens, this excuse shouldn't arouse too much suspicion.
