Zhou Qingang explained with difficulty: âWith the trending price of Spirit Mist
Grass at that time, who could resist! Almost every Island Guard in the Misthaven Ocean was participating in the trade.â
âIf I walked a different path, wouldnât it be easy for me to give myself away?
âWho knew its price would crash so quicklyâŠâ
Then, as if realizing something, he looked suspiciously at the face on the broken stone: âBoss, you wouldnât have traded it too, did you?â
The face avoided answering and chastised: âEnough with the small talk. How much do you want?â
Zhou Qingang hesitated for a moment, then whispered: âA hundred thousandâŠâ
âA hundred thousand?!â The face on the stone raised its voice several degrees.
âNo! Funds are tight now. You guys have been undercover for so long and have no tangible results. What do I use to request funds from the higher-ups?â The face on the stone declined without hesitation.
Seeing this, Zhou Qingang hastily argued: âWe do have results! Iâve almost cracked the external structure of the Heaven Yuan Life Formation. In at most seven or eight years, Iâll be able to completely decipher the Arrayâs core.â
âThis time, He Zhenghao also suffered heavy losses. My request for this one hundred thousand contribution is to take advantage of this opportunity to deepen my relationship with him.â
âHe is proficient in array techniques and was involved in setting up the Island Protection Array. Heâs also very candid, his assistance would definitely accelerate our progress in mastering the Array.â
Upon hearing this, the faceâs expression eased slightly.
After pondering for a moment, it slowly said: âIn that case, send me the decoded Array data first.â
Zhou Qingang nodded, pressed his palms onto the broken stone again, and closed his eyes.
The yellow light flickered non-stop. It wasnât until a long time later that Zhou Qingang released his hands.
Seemingly exhausted, his face became extremely pale.
The face on the stone was expressionless as if verifying the authenticity of the data.
âWell done,â the face nodded after a while.
âHowever, a hundred thousand is indeed too much. How about fifty thousand?â The face suddenly proposed.
Zhou Qingang looked troubled: âBoss, fifty thousand is really too little! How about seventy thousand, or at least sixty thousand?â
The face did not give him any attention: âFifty pieces of top-grade Spirit Stone, pick it up from the old place after a month.â
âJust like that!â
Before the voice fell, the light on the broken stone disappeared, turning it back into an ordinary stone.
Zhou Qingang looked gloomy, and slapped the broken stone until it shattered.
Picking up his original look, he returned to Taian Island without speaking a word.
Staying obediently in the Island Protection Array, he did not look like an undercover spy at all.
âIt seems, apart from Zhou Qingang, there are quite a few infiltrators in his
superiorâs line alone.â
âHowever, the spies on this line should not have high positions in the Immortal Alliance, and their current task level is only targeting the Island
Protection Array.â
âIn addition, their method of contact appears to involve a new set-up every time. Although a bit troublesome, the one-way contact reduces the risk of all of them getting caught together.â
Seeing that Zhou Qingang had gone undercover again and was no longer active, Li Fan withdrew his attention, calculating how to maximize the benefits of this matter.
âAside from the method of deceiving the White Jade Heart-Asking Platform,
Zhou Qingangâs face-changing method is also extremely useful to me.â âI should secure these two methods before reporting them and earn merits.â âUnfortunately, I still havenât found the rumored soul-searching method.â
The Alliance of Thousands of Immortals seems to have very strict control over this method. With Li Fanâs current Yanye Authority Level, he hasnât found any trace of it.
âI wonder, if I will have any chance in the Fallen Immortal Realm.â
Not long ago, Li Fan felt an inexplicable premonition that he could enter the Fallen Immortal Realm again.
However, he was busy with the merit task of hunting down the defectors at that time, so he hadnât re-entered it.
At this moment, finally having some free time, Li Fan thought about exploring the Fallen Immortal Realm again.
Now, he started to set up the ritual again.
âBlessing Lifespan Xuan Huang Respectful Deity!â
With the completion of the last chant, numerous noisy and trivial voices entered his ears.
Li Fan had once again entered the Fallen Immortal Realm.
âJunior Brother? Junior Brother?â
When Li Fan had a clear look at his surroundings, he couldnât help but feel a slight sinking in his heart.
âJunior Brother, what are you thinking about? Why are you in a daze?â A Taoist dressed in a purple and white robe with a purple lightning mark between his eyebrows asked.
This person was not unfamiliar to Li Fan, heâs Zhang Qianmo, whom he had met last time in the Fallen Immortal Realm.
âWhy am I here again?â A bunch of question marks flashed across Li Fanâs mind in an instant.
According to Chen Yingâs introduction, every time you enter the Fallen Immortal Realm, you should appear in a different place randomly.
Why was the place and the timing of my second log-in identical to the previous?
Is there a special reason?
Thinking about his uniqueness of having two lives in the Fallen Immortal Realm, a name surged in Li Fanâs heart.
âCould it be because of the Xuanhuang Heart-Refining Spell?â
Li Fan instinctively guessed it.
âDuring the last time, I displayed my Divine Consciousness Incarnation and was killed by Zhang Qianmo.â
âWhat if I defeat him this time? Will the outcome change?â
âHowever, this Brother Zhang isnât easy to handle.â
âOr maybe, I can hide my real self under Li Chenâs body without him noticingâŠâ In an instant, several thoughts flashed through Li Fanâs mind.
However, he did not forget to respond to the seemingly frivolous senior brother standing before him.
Recalling what was about to happen, Li Fan quickly changed the subject: âUh, Senior Brother, for some reason, I feel uneasy. It seems like our journey to collect the Longevity Fruit wonât be so smooth.â
Zhang Qianmo was slightly taken aback and did not laugh it off but instead took it very seriously.
He made a gesture with his right hand, and it seemed as if purple clouds were passing by in his eyes.
âHuh?â After a moment, Zhang Qianmoâs expression became serious.
âJunior Brother, your feeling is correct. There is indeed something odd about Ningyuan City!â
âReally?â Li Fan acted very surprised, âSo what should we do, Senior Brother?â
Zhang Qianmo pondered for a moment and said: âDivination shows that there is slight risk, but no threat to our lives.â
âWe must get the Longevity Fruit. If we go back to the sect for backup without even taking a step in Ningyuan City, wouldnât we be laughed at by other disciples?â
âHow about we infiltrate the city and scout first?â
Li Fan agreed without hesitation: âWhat Senior Brother said is correct!â
Zhang Qianmo performed some incantations, and the lightning mark on his forehead gradually retreated, completely concealing his aura.
Seeing this, Li Fan instinctively concealed his own aura in the same way.
âSo itâs the Concealment Technique from the Violet Firmament Thunder Secret TechniqueâŠâ
Like controlling a character in a game, Li Fan could now use various techniques and moves of Li Chen, but he didnât know much about the techniques themselves..
