Chapter 463: Chapter 435: Trade at Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion
Three days later.
At sunset.
Li Fan was sitting cross-legged underwater, meditating with his eyes closed.
Suddenly, he sensed the yellow light glowing from the broken stone and quickly opened his eyes.
After standing up, he asked, âWell? What about the exam? Is it legitimate?â
âHa ha, you did a great job this time!â A sense of excitement echoed in the voice of the disembodied face.
âThe exam paper is authentic! Not a single mistake!â
âI had always heard that the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals appears bright and shiny on the outside, but inside itâs already rotten to the core. Yet, itâs far worse than what the rumors suggest!â
âSuch a critical matter as the entrance exam, which is related to the future and destiny of the organization, could even be utilized for personal benefits!â
âAnd this is only what the Tianyu State Heng Family is doing!â
âHow about those more powerful? I donât even dare to imagine!â
The disembodied face seemed to have taken a huge shock, heaving sigh after sigh, full of disbelief.
At this moment, Li Fan responded: âIsnât this better for us? The faster the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals perishes, the sooner our Five Eldersâ Organization will unify the Xuanhuang World.â
The disembodied face nodded, âExactly! Victory will eventually belong to our Five Eldersâ Organization!â
He paused, allowing his excited emotions to gradually subside.
With a solemn expression, he instructed, âWe must act quickly, proceed to contact He Zhenghao and get hold of the remaining exam papers as soon as possible.â
âThe location for the trade deal will be within the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.â
âI will have someone dispatched there. Youâll be responsible for the reception.â
âBy the way, to make sure the remaining exam papers are correct, you must wait until the end of the exam and receive notification before letting him go.â
The disembodied face carefully instructed Li Fan on numerous things to note, and, after laying out the contact mode, he finally disappeared.
As per usual, Li Fan destroyed all traces on site before returning to Taian Island.
Deep within the Protective Array, Li Fan and his clone sat facing each other.
âTen Thousand Treasures PavilionâŠâ
Li Fan had been there before.
It was where He Zhenghao stored the âDetailed Explanation of Hundred Channels Formationâ, his inheritance, before his tragic death in his twelfth reincarnation.
Located on Youlan Island in the Misthaven Ocean.
In his past life, Zhou Qingang managed to acquire the Spirit Stone supply from the disembodied face through this place.
âIt seems that this place may be one of the Five Eldersâ Organizationâs hidden bases.â
After pondering for a bit, Li Fan immediately used the [One-Handed Sky Shrouding Technique], put on the [Concealing Talisman], and hid the cultivation level of his clone, waiting for the people from the Five Eldersâ Organization to arrive.
The main body, on the other hand, had randomly changed its appearance and used the Teleportation Array to get to Youlan Island in advance.
After half a day, when his main body had already laid low in the sea area outside Youlan Island.
On Taian Island, a cultivator suddenly appeared in the Teleportation Array.
The individualâs appearance was unidentifiable. After arriving at Taian Island, he first wandered in the air above the island, then appeared to shake his head and sigh.
He remained still in the air for a while before taking off slowly.
Li Fanâs clone silently followed the individual.
That individual didnât fly at a fast pace, rather slowly, as if deliberately waiting.
After leaving Taian Island for some distance, he entered a deserted uninhabited sea area.
He suddenly stopped and asked through voice transmission, âWhy are you following me secretly?â
As instructed by the disembodied face on the broken stone, Li Fanâs clone did not reply.
Instead, he directly launched an attack with a palm charged with yellow earth attribute energy.
The individual seemed to not expect Li Fan to launch a surprise attack without saying a single word, and was taken aback, offering no resistance.
Just as Li Fanâs palm was about to hit him, the earth attribute suddenly turned into a wood attribute.
The person didnât dodge nor avoid it, but just took Li Fanâs slap, standing still.
âLetâs go. Weâre heading to Youlan Island.â
After verifying Li Fanâs identity, he didnât greet him, instead using a strange voice to direct him.
âTeleportation Array?â Li Fan asked.
âFlying there.â
Having said that, he approached and grabbed Li Fan, then stepped forward.
The scenery around them shifted quickly â even when compared to the Dustcrosser Boat that Li Fan rode in his previous life, it was only slightly slower.
âIs this the speed of the God Transformation Stage?â
âOr maybe itâs a Nascent Soul Monk whoâs specialized in speedâŠâ
Li Fan was calm and composed in his heart, without looking too closely at the cultivator beside him.
He remained silent throughout the journey.
Shortly after, that individual brought Li Fan to Youlan Island.
He scanned around, but found no trace of He Zhenghao.
âHave you informed He Zhenghao?â
Then, he asked again as if to confirm it.
Li Fan nodded, âOr should I ask him again where he is?â
The man stopped Li Fan, âJust wait. Itâs best not to use the Communication Talisman.â
Seemingly hinting at something, Li Fan nodded in agreement.
At the same time, his main body candidly flew towards the location of the two people.
Before long, the pick-up monk from the Five Eldersâ Organization noticed the approach of the main body.
He furrowed his brows and heightened his guard.
Li Fan arrived nonchalantly before the two: âYou must be Zhou Qingang?â
âI was sent by He Zhenghao.â
As these words came out, both the monk from the Five Eldersâ Organization and Li Fanâs clone changed color.
He first glanced at âZhou Qingangâ, then his face became cold, and he asked in a cold voice, âWhat do you mean, fellow daoist?â
Li Fan seemed unbothered and nonchalant, replying, âWhat do you mean, what do I mean? Of course, I came for the trade deal.â
âWhy didnât He Zhenghao come here himself?â The monk from the Five Eldersâ Organization hesitated for a moment and then asked.
Li Fan scoffed, âWould he dare to do such a dangerous thing personally? If the plan goes exposed, wouldnât he be implicated?â
âIt seems you guys donât know him very well.â
The monk from the Five Eldersâ Organization glanced at âZhou Qingangâ again.
And continued to ask, âSo if youâre caught, wouldnât it implicate him? With a contribution of five million, is he really that confident in you?â
Li Fan seemed to be totally impatient now, âThatâs not your concern. Are we doing the deal or not?â
âIf not, Iâll leave. You guys, who walk in the underworld, still being so timid!â
Li Fan looked at the two unhappily.
âAfter all, who cares who we trade with, so long as the exam is genuine, right?â
The voice was loud and resounding, with no attempt at concealing anything.
The monk from the Five Elderâs Organization changed color slightly and instinctively surveyed his surroundings.
After thinking for a moment, he felt that there was some truth to what the other party said.
After glaring at âZhou Qingangâ, he sternly said, âFine, keep your voice down.â
âCome with me.â
Then, leading the two of them, he entered the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.
none of the staff inside paid any attention to them.
Not until they reached the secret room, deep inside, were they interrupted at all.
Once they had sealed the secret room, the monk from the Five Eldersâ Organization asked in a somber voice, âWhere is the exam?â
Li Fan shot back, âWhere is the five million?â
âCash in one handâŠâ
âGoods in the otherâŠâ
The two echoed each other. They stared at each other for a moment.
After a standoff, they finally exchanged Storage Rings.
âYou canât leave now.â The monk from the Five Elderâs Organization said coldly.
âI know, I know! Youâre afraid that the exam is not correct, right?â Li Fan acted boldly and fearlessly.
âLook at you guys, such a bunch of country bumpkins.â
his face showed a trace of disdain he casually sat down, crossed his legs and said.
âItâs okay, I will wait here till the end of the exam.â
