Chapter 645: Chapter 611: Spark Enters Immortal Alliance

“Indeed.” Li Fan was very satisfied when he saw Liu San answering for him.

“In the current Immortal Cultivation World, after several Great Calamities, the lifespan of cultivators is much shorter than in our time.”

“Various longevity treasures are even rarer, even if they only extend life by a hundred years, they can still cause cultivators to scramble for them.”

“If we could mass-produce the [Pill of Eternal Life] again, exchanging it for enough techniques for all our sect members to cultivate, there may be hope.”

Li Fan talked at length.

“However, it’s just a matter of revisiting the old trade, as long as there are enough people, it’s not a difficult task.” Liu San said, taking out a jade bottle from his Storage Ring.

“I have nine high-quality Elixirs of Immortality given to me by the Sect Master before, each of which can extend life by about six hundred years.”

“Young Master, you can exchange them for Spirit… ah, now it’s called Contribution Points?”

“Indeed, although the name has changed, the essence has not.” Li Fan casually said, without declining, he heartily accepted this bottle of elixir, which was now worth a fortune.

Liu San was somewhat worried: “As the Young Master said, the Elixir of Immortality is valuable. It’s fine if it’s only once or twice, but if it’s frequently put up for sale, won’t it attract attention?”

Li Fan nodded in agreement: “Elder Liu is absolutely correct. That’s why it’s not convenient for us to take the initiative.”

“I’ve told you before, I’ve made friends with Brother Zhou Qingang. This man has a deep background, and we can let him handle everything. We just need to give him a portion of the profits.”

Liu San furrowed his brows slightly, but didn’t say much.

Seeing this, Li Fan continued: “It’s just a temporary solution. In the future, we will definitely rebuild the Medicine King Sect.”

“But we need to proceed gradually.”

Liu San then nodded.

“Elder Liu, you stay in the cauldron for now. I’ll go back first and exchange the elixir for the techniques. We’ll wake up a portion of the disciples first.”

Li Fan gave a shout and left the Medicine King Cauldron.

The words just now were just to cope with Liu San. The Elixir of Immortality would not be easily relinquished.

With the current Contribution Points on Li Fan’s body, it’s more than enough to gather the techniques needed for the disciples to refine the Elixir of Immortality.

However, after the Crimson Blaze Ocean, the identity of “Li Fan, the cultivator of the Heavenly Machine Sect” would be discarded.

The disciples of the Medicine King Sect still had value to be exploited.

How to whitewash the identities of all the disciples of the Medicine King Sect without linking the two is a problem.

Li Fan thought for a moment, deciding to use the “divide and conquer” method.

The clone Zhou Qingang found Gao Yuan.

“What does Brother Zhou want to see me about?” Gao Yuan was somewhat surprised.

Ever since Zhou Qingang became the spokesperson for the Emissary, he had implicitly become the de facto ruler of the Misthaven Ocean Area.

Whether it was Gao Yuan or He Zhenghao, they had to get Zhou Qingang’s approval for important matters.

And Zhou Qingang, deserving of being someone the Emissary valued, was so diligent it scared both Gao and He.

They hardly ever saw him going out, spending his days in the Governance Hall, personally handling matters big and small.

His sudden visit was somewhat unexpected for Gao Yuan.

Zhou Qingang smiled and said, “Brother Gao, don’t be nervous. It’s just a small matter that I need your help with.”

Gao Yuan had a strange expression on his face, thinking to himself, you hold a higher position than me, what could you possibly need my help with?

Zhou Qingang continued speaking, “I have a friend who accidentally discovered a hidden Secret Realm. In this Secret Realm, a group of cultivators lies dormant, ice-sealed. After waking them up and questioning them, I found out. In the past, for some reason, they hid in the Secret Realm to escape the pursuit of the Immortal Dao Ten Clans. But due to an accident, they fell into a deep sleep…”

Gao Yuan initially listened very seriously, but as Zhou Qingang continued to speak, his face became stranger and stranger.

In the end, when he heard that Zhou Qingang wanted to “arrange” these cultivators into the Immortal Alliance, he was instantly shocked.

But he, after all, was a shrewd person, and did not confront him on the spot, but showed a reluctant expression: “Isn’t this a little too coincidental?”

“What is the identity of this friend of Brother Zhou’s? Is it reliable?”

“These people, they’re not spies sent by those guys over there…”

He pointed in the direction of the Five Elders Organization and asked tentatively.

Zhou Qingang just laughed, resolutely saying: “Brother Gao, you’re overthinking. I, Zhou, am willing to swear on my own life that these people can’t possibly be spies from the Five Elders Organization!”

“You can rest assured!”

“However, my friend doesn’t want the news of his acquisition of a Secret Realm to leak. And if these cultivators were to join the Immortal Alliance in a normal way, this definitely wouldn’t remain a secret. So that’s why he entrusted me…” Zhou Qingang showed an understanding expression.

“Of course, there’s also benefits. I know, Brother Gao, you almost emptied your coffers to exchange for techniques, you can hardly even enter the [Spirit Awakening State] lately. Such a good opportunity is knocking at your door, you can’t miss it.”

Gao Yuan was slightly moved upon hearing this, and Zhou Qingang’s explanation seemed somewhat plausible.

However, he was still somewhat hesitant.

“What about the Emissary…”

Zhou Qingang waved his hand: “There’s no need to bother the Emissary with such minor matters. Recently, the Emissary has just restored his Nascent Soul Stage and is planning to make a breakthrough to an even higher realm.”

Gao Yuan was shocked upon hearing this.

This was a big deal, the higher the Emissary’s cultivation, the more secure their position. However, he and He Zhenghao knew nothing about this, it seemed that Zhou Qingang was trusted more by the Emissary.

If the Emissary knew that Zhou Qingang was doing these things behind his back…

An idea flashed through Gao Yuan’s mind.

Once it appeared, it was hard to suppress.

“Since Brother Zhou has said so, then I can’t really refuse.” Gao Yuan turned his eyes, and readily agreed.

“Before you bring those cultivators here, let me know. I’ll personally handle their Alliance admission procedures.”

“Good! Good!” Zhou Qingang strode off, pleased.

Gao Yuan seemed to be struggling with something, pacing back and forth.

In the end, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

Using the Soul Partition Jade Scroll left by the Emissary, he contacted Li Fan.

“Emissary, there is something I’d like to report to you.” Gao Yuan said ingratiatingly.

“Speak.” Li Fan’s tone was rather cold, making Gao Yuan’s heart shiver, with a sense of unease.

However, he had no choice but to proceed, and so steeled himself to inform on Zhou Qingang.

But the only response he received was silence.

This made Gao Yuan more and more uneasy.

“I know.” After a long time, Li Fan finally spoke.

“However, Gao Yuan…”

“Little Zhou was right. You shouldn’t bother me with such minor matters in the future.”

Gao Yuan’s heart felt somewhat chilled.

“And, I hope you understand. Unity is most important.”

After that, there was no more noise from Li Fan’s side.

Only a bewildered Gao Yuan was left standing still.
