Chapter 574: White Mist Creates a Surprise
Chapter 570 – White Mist Makes a Surprise Soldier
So far, Li Fan hadn’t figured out exactly what kind of punishment he would receive for violating the Five Elders Contract.
However, he definitely did not have the intention to test the law.
Which time he had made a deal with the Five Elders Association, hadn’t he, Li Fan, made a huge profit? He couldn’t wait to come back a few more times, so how would he take the initiative to break the contract!
The spy of the Five Elders Association was already dead, and Li Fan was the only one left in this trading place.
Destroying the engraved stone table with his own hands, Zhou Qingang flew back to Congyun City.
On the way back, Li Fan was thinking about some unusual signs during the negotiation.
The Fruit of Truthfulness and the Humanity Stardust, all of these treasures that were useful to cultivators at the Harmonization Realm, the Five Elders’ Association had only agreed to give a handful of them.
This Li Fan could still understand.
But that Puxian True Boat, the Five Elders Association was also stingy and refused to take out more.
They even preferred to compensate with other more precious materials and refused to make concessions.
This made Li Fan a bit puzzled.
One must know that this Puxian True Boat was something that could be bought casually on the side of the road when the puppet body traveled through the Five Elders’ Association before.
It had only been a short time since then, and it had suddenly become valuable?
What exactly had happened?
Li Fan was puzzled.
Until “Zhou Qing’ang” back to the government hall, inadvertently saw hanging on the wall of the Cong Yunhai surrounding area map, an aura suddenly flashed through the mind.
He stared at the natural demarcation line between the states on the map, called the [White Mist Barrier], and realized something.
“The so-called supply and demand determines price.”
“Although the actual value of the Puxian True State isn’t that high, if the Five Elders’ Association is massively expropriating it nowadays and it’s in extreme shortage ……”
“That all explains it. “
Li Fan’s thoughts raced.
“Is this the Five Elders Association’s way of marching through the White Mist?”
“Follow the white mist barriers and attack inside the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance; or enter the depths of the white mist?”
Even Li Fan himself was shocked by the idea that suddenly popped up.
For a number of years in the past, due to the white mist’s property of devouring longevity, cultivators tended to avoid it.
And where would they have thought that they could use these white mist barriers as natural shipping lanes?
Although within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, it had long been known that the Puxian True Leaf was able to cut down the effects of the Yuan Devouring White Mist to a certain extent.
However, the specific practical application, so far, had not been popularized.
This was undoubtedly a great blind spot in the thoughts of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
It was highly likely that the seemingly absolutely safe white mist barrier would have countless hostile cultivators pouring out of it in the next instant.
This was an extremely frightening matter any way you looked at it.
“I hope it’s just me worrying over nothing. The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance has countless talented and handsome people, so surely they will take precautions against this kind of thing. ……”
“Right.”
For the next period of time, “Zhou Qingang” deliberately made himself very busy.
The original visit requests that he would have basically balked at, now he agreed to all of them.
Once he was free, he went to patrol the various islands in the Cong Yun Sea.
In just three or four days, he came into contact with hundreds of people of different status and position.
In this way, even if the Five Elder’s Association wanted to probe his source of information, the so-called [Overwhelming Sky Alliance]’s trail.
It would also be an almost impossible task.
What’s more, even if the Council of Five Elders had heavenly means and really captured all of these people and searched their souls and souls, they would not be destined to find out anything.
I’m afraid that they would never dream of thinking that all the top secrets of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance only came from Li Fan himself!
By the time the fifth day came, Li Fan brought the broken formation diagram and came alone to the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion on Yulan Island.
In the deepest secret room, he met the connector of this transaction.
Still wearing black clothes, his face was concealed.
However, Li Fan could tell that it was not the same person as the cultivator from last time. “Very well! Fellow Daoist Zhou has kept his word, and we will not let you down.” The black-clothed cultivator looked at Li Fan, who had arrived as promised, and spoke out in praise.
Li Fan, however, asked about that Five Elders Association spy from earlier.
The black-clothed cultivator spoke in a solemn tone, “In order to fulfill his mission, he chose to self-sacrifice. This is our homecoming and our honor.”
Obviously, the one that Li Fan had seen dissolving in the golden light that day was truly dead.
At the cost of his own life, he had exchanged it for a deed with the seals of the five Heavenly Dignitaries.
The only strange thing was that there was no falling vision produced in the sky, but he didn’t know why.
Li Fan nodded and stopped speaking.
Instead, he handed over the storage ring containing the encrypted jade slip.
The black-clothed cultivator solemnly put it away and said, “I’ll trouble you to wait here for a moment.”
With that, he left with the ring and went somewhere.
Li Fan closed his eyes and waited patiently.
Regarding the safety of this alter ego, Li Fan was actually not worried.
On the one hand, it was due to the existence of the golden contract, which agreed that both parties should not harm each other.
On the other hand, “Zhou Qingang” was currently a member of the huge organization hidden in the depths of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, the Overwhelming Heaven Society.
Moreover, he was the only way to get in touch with the Overwhelming Heaven Society.
Unless the Five Elders’ Association was ready to break with the Overwhelming Heaven Association, and would no longer obtain the secrets of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance from them from now on.
Otherwise, the Five Elders Association, would not take action against Li Fan.
Especially when no matter how much they probed, they were unable to find out a single bit of information about the Overwhelming Heaven Society, mysterious to the extreme.
Moreover, now that the Five Elders Association was at war with the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, they would definitely not make another enemy.
Of course, it could not be ruled out that the Five Elders would make a foolish move and use methods such as the [Real Enticement Fruit] oddity to forcefully turn back Li Fan.
Therefore, while Li Fan was waiting, he did not let his guard down in the slightest and was ready to give up this doppelganger at any time.
The efficiency of the Five Elders’ Association was swift.
In just one tea’s time, the black-clothed cultivator returned to the secret room.
Although he tried his best to hide it, the excitement in his heart could be vaguely seen.
“Your party’s methods are truly amazing, I admire them!”
“This is what we promised, please check and receive, fellow Daoist.”
With that, the black-clothed cultivator handed over a white stone.
“This is ……,” Li Fan’s eyes flashed.
Luckily, he was very knowledgeable, and after searching through the memories stored in the Dao Transformation Stone, he instantly knew what this white stone was.
[Empty Brightness Stone Mother].
A purely natural storage material.
Compared to an ordinary storage ring, the storage space is larger. It can also be absorbed and refined by the cultivator and stored in the body.
It is also a necessity used to create a space magic treasure, extremely precious, basically have a price without a market.
This item was not on the list of supplies that Li Fan had proposed, and was obviously given to Li Fan purely as a storage device.
Li Fan nodded slightly, then opened his mouth and directly swallowed the Empty Brightness Stone Mother into his stomach.
However, he did not rush to refine it at the first moment, but first examined its contents.
The Five Elders will naturally not be short on quantity, 10,000 Enlightenment Dan, 300 Puxian True Boats, and three pieces of Humanity Stardust ……
All of them were consistent with the contract.
Li Fan focused his attention on a statue floating in the center of the group of items, emitting a five-colored light.
The next chapter is still tomorrow at noon more it status a little bad early to bed!
