Chapter 437
Three days later.
As the sun set.
Li Fan sat cross-legged on the seabed, eyes closed, cultivating.
Suddenly, he sensed a yellow light flashing on the broken stone, and Li Fan abruptly opened his eyes.
He rose and asked, "Head? How is it? Are the test questions authentic?"
"Haha, you little rascal, you've done a great service this time!" The voice of the human face was filled with uncontainable excitement.
"The test questions are real! The compartments are not wrong!"
"I've always heard that the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is outwardly glamorous, but in reality, it's already rotten to the core. It's even worse than the rumors!"
"Such a major event as the entry exam, which concerns the future and fate of the organization, is actually being used for personal gain!"
"This is just the Heng family in Tianyu Province!"
"What about those with even more power, I dare not even imagine!"
The human face seemed to be in a state of shock, repeatedly clicking its tongue, filled with disbelief.
Li Fan then interjected, "Isn't this better for us? The faster the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance dies, the sooner our Five Elders Association can unify the Xuanhuang Realm."
The human face nodded in agreement, "That's right! Victory will ultimately belong to our Five Elders Association!"
He paused, his excited mood gradually calming down.
His expression turned solemn as he instructed, "Time is of the essence, go contact He Zhenghao immediately and get the remaining test questions. The transaction location will be within the Wancang Pavilion."
"I'll send someone, you're responsible for the reception."
"By the way, to prevent the remaining test questions from being incorrect, you must wait until the exam is over and you receive notification before letting him leave."
The human face carefully instructed Li Fan on various precautions, then explained the contact method before disappearing.
As usual, Li Fan destroyed all traces of the scene before returning to Tai'an Island.
Deep within the protective formation, Li Fan and his clone sat facing each other.
"Wancang Pavilion..."
Li Fan had been to this place before.
It was where He Zhenghao, in his twelfth life, had stored his legacy, the "Detailed Explanation of the Hundred Meridians Formation," before his death.
Located on Youlan Island in the Congyun Sea.
And in his previous life, Zhou Qing'ang had obtained the spirit stone supply for the human face through this place.
"It seems that this place might be a secret base of the Five Elders Association."
Li Fan pondered for a moment, then immediately cast the "One Hand Covers the Sky" secret technique, wearing the "Concealing Qi Talisman," masking his clone's cultivation, and waiting for the Five Elders Association's people to arrive.
His main body, however, randomly transformed into another appearance, and through the teleportation array, he arrived on Youlan Island ahead of time.
After a short while, when his main body had secretly lurked in the waters outside Youlan Island.
A cultivator suddenly appeared in the teleportation array on Tai'an Island.
The person's appearance was unclear, and after arriving on Tai'an Island, they circled the island, then shook their head and sighed.
They stood silently in the air for a while before slowly flying away.
Li Fan's clone, upon seeing this, quietly followed.
The person's flying speed was not fast, leisurely as if intentionally waiting.
After flying a distance away from Tai'an Island, they reached a desolate and uninhabited sea area.
They suddenly stopped and transmitted a voice, "Fellow Daoist, why are you secretly following me?"
Li Fan's clone, following the instructions of the human face on the broken stone, did not answer.
Instead, he directly struck out with a palm infused with the power of yellow earth element.
The person, seemingly unprepared for Li Fan's sudden attack without warning, did not resist, stunned in place.
As Li Fan's palm was about to strike him, the earth element abruptly transformed into wood element.
The person did not dodge or evade, taking Li Fan's palm directly, unfazed.
"Let's go, to Youlan Island."
After verifying Li Fan's identity, they spoke in a strange voice without further greeting.
"Use the teleportation array, or...?" Li Fan asked.
"Fly."
Having said that, they grabbed Li Fan closely and then stepped forward.
The scenery around them rapidly changed, only slightly slower than the Dust Crossing Boat that Li Fan had ridden in his previous life.
"This speed, Soul Transformation realm?"
"Or perhaps a Nascent Soul specializing in speed..."
Li Fan remained calm and did not look at the cultivator beside him.
They spoke no more along the way.
Soon, the person brought Li Fan to Youlan Island.
They scanned the area but did not find He Zhenghao.
"Did you tell He Zhenghao?"
They asked again, as if confirming.
Li Fan nodded, "Should I ask him where he is?"
The person stopped Li Fan, "Wait. It's best not to use communication spirit talismans."
Li Fan nodded in agreement, seemingly understanding the implication.
At the same time, his main body, without any concealment, flew towards the location where they were.
Soon, the Five Elders Association's receiving cultivator noticed Li Fan's main body approaching.
He furrowed his brows, increasing his vigilance.
Li Fan came directly in front of them, "Zhou Qingang, is it?"
"He Zhenghao sent me."
As these words left his mouth, both the Five Elders Association cultivator and Li Fan's clone turned pale.
He first glanced at "Zhou Qing'ang," then his face darkened, and he coldly asked, "What do you mean, Fellow Daoist?"
Li Fan, on the other hand, looked unconcerned and said, "What do I mean? Of course, I'm here to make a transaction."
"Why isn't He Zhenghao here himself?" The Five Elders Association cultivator hesitated for a moment before asking.
Li Fan chuckled, "Such a dangerous matter, how could he possibly come in person? If things go wrong, wouldn't he be implicated?"
"It seems you don't know this person very well."
The Five Elders Association cultivator looked at "Zhou Qingang" again.
He continued to ask, "If you're caught, won't it implicate him? Five million contribution points, does he really trust you so much?"
Li Fan became completely impatient, "That's none of your concern. The question is, are you going to trade or not?"
"If you don't, I'll leave. What are you afraid of? You're so timid!"
Li Fan looked at them with dissatisfaction.
"Besides, who you trade with is your business, as long as the test questions are real, right?"
His voice boomed, without any concealment.
The Five Elders Association cultivator slightly changed color, subconsciously observing the surroundings.
After thinking for a moment, they felt that what the other party said was not unreasonable.
Glancing at "Zhou Qingang," they said in a deep voice, "Alright, keep your voice down."
"Follow me."
Then, they took the two of them into the Wancang Pavilion.
The staff in the Wancang Pavilion all acted as if they hadn't seen Li Fan and the others.
They reached the deepest secret chamber without any obstruction.
Closing the secret chamber, the Five Elders Association cultivator said in a low voice, "The test questions?"
Li Fan countered, "The five million?"
"Money in hand..."
"Goods in hand."
Both spoke in unison, looking at each other for a moment.
They faced each other for a while before exchanging their storage rings.
"You can't leave yet," the Five Elders Association cultivator said coldly.
"I know, I know! You're afraid the test questions are fake, right?" Li Fan looked like he had nothing to fear.
"Look at you guys, never seen the world before."
He showed a hint of disdain, sat down boldly, and crossed his legs.
"It's fine, I'll just wait here until the exam is over."
