Chapter 264: The Sword Points at the Garrison
Chapter 262 – Sword Pointing at the Garrison Courtyard
One expedition team after another began to search for the relic as it flew along.
Li Fan, on the other hand, hibernated in the Tian Xuan Mirror and waited for the results.
Three months later, the exploration of the relic had yet to make any particular progress.
He Zhenghao, however, snatched a message in excitement.
“Fellow Daoist Li Fan, good news.”
“After some maneuvering on my part, I have secured three possible positions, each located in a different state.”
“Fellow Daoist, you can help me with my counseling.”
Li Fan immediately replied, “Oh? Tell me about it.”
“The first one, the leader of the Tai Hua Prefecture Martial Arts Hall.”
“The Taihua State is not far from the Cong Yunhai, and a Taihua Mountain Range in the state, which runs across the entire territory, is also known as the state on the back of the mountain.”
“The peaks of the mountains are so numerous that I don’t know where they are. When I go to this state, my cultivation speed will be much faster than in the Cong Yun Sea.”
“The second one, Counselor of the Qing Wei State’s Strategizing Formation Hall.”
“Qingwei Prefecture is in the south of Tianyu Prefecture, although it’s still far away, compared to the Cong Yun Sea, it’s far too close.”
“The third, the Tianyun Prefecture Town Counselor.”
“This Heavenly Transportation Prefecture is not far to the west of Tianyu Prefecture. Therefore, the competition for the position is very fierce.”
“Mobilizing in the past is only a level city town guard position.”
“The advantage is that it is closer to the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, and promotion is a bit easier than other places.”
He Zhenghao slowly told the results of his efforts over this period of time.
“Heavenly Transportation State ……”
Li Fan pondered for a moment and replied, “Don’t rush to make a decision yet. I have cultivators I know well in the Heavenly Fortune Prefecture, so I’ll help you poke around and see if you can go further.”
He Zhenghao was very surprised when he heard this, “Fellow Daoist actually has connections even in the Heavenly Fortune State?”
“Hehe, I don’t dare to guarantee it. Let’s give it a try, fellow Daoist wait for my news.” Li Fan said indifferently.
He Zhenghao said yes in a loud voice.
Li Fan then contacted the Oracle and explained the situation.
“Does senior have a doorway?”
The oracle son simply replied back, “I’ll ask for you.”
There was no further response.
Li Fan wasn’t in a hurry and waited patiently.
Half a day later, a cultivator called Jing Xuan Daoist requested to add Li Fan as a friend.
He was also from the Heavenly Fortune Prefecture.
Li Fan’s heart moved and he hurriedly passed.
Jing Xuan’s bold voice came out.
“Hahaha, it’s Little Friend Li Fan, isn’t it? I heard from the oracle that you have a good friend who wants to come and serve in our Heavenly Fortune State?”
“Four Dharma Jindan, tsk, the younger generation is fearful.”
“In this case, ask him if he is interested in coming to our Heavenly Fortune Prefecture Garrison Courtyard?”
“Hehe, because of that big battle a few years ago, there are still some vacant positions that have not been filled.”
Li Fan was slightly stunned in his heart and could not help but ask, “Senior Jing Xuan, I don t know if this garrison courtyard ……”
Jing Xuan also froze.
He did not expect that Li Fan actually did not even know what the garrison courtyard was.
But then, thinking of Li Fan’s remote origins, he suddenly understood and explained, “The Garrison Courtyard is an organization unique to the hinterland of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.”
“It is directly responsible to the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance, and its main duty is to suppress and kill the curfew and guard the stability of the hinterland.”
“At times of necessity, it will also follow emergency orders and travel to other states to fight.”
When Jing Xuan said this, Li Fan understood.
In essence, it was the same meaning as the garrison battalion that was stationed outside the Xuan Capital when he was in Da Xuan and only listened to Li Fan’s orders and guarded the security of the capital.
“It should be considered a key position.”
“But it seems to involve a lot of fighting. I don’t know if He Zhenghao is willing to agree with it given his nature nowadays.”
Li Fan pondered for a moment in his mind, greeted Jing Xuan, and contacted He Zhenghao again to explain the situation.
“Garrison courtyard?” This time, He Zhenghao was really a bit shocked.
He had spent some time in Tianyu Prefecture when he was young, so of course he understood what a garrison courtyard was.
Like the Protectorate Hall, it was an organization that was directly under the orders of the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
Generally speaking, members of the Garrison Courtyard, were half a level higher in status than cultivators from other local departments.
It was only below the Law Protector Hall.
“Fellow Daoist Li Fan is truly unfathomable, actually able to seek this position.”
“It’s a bit dangerous, but ……”
A silhouette suddenly surfaced in He Zhenghao’s mind.
Immediately, he gritted his teeth and agreed.
After knowing He Zhenghao’s determination, Li Fan also replied to Daoist Jingxuan.
“Good!” Jing Xuan was delighted.
“You ask that friend of yours to come to our Heavenly Fortune Prefecture first, as a town guard.”
“After working for three years and saving up some seniority, I’ll mobilize my connections and transfer him into the garrison courtyard.” Next, Jing Xuan carefully explained some more precautions before disconnecting the communication.
Li Fan again relayed it word for word to He Zhenghao.
After listening carefully, He Zhenghao hurriedly went off to busy himself with his future.
Quietly, Li Fan thought about it, although the matter hadn’t been accomplished yet.
But still, he gave the oracle and Jing Xuan two people, and one person transferred one hundred thousand contribution degrees over.
As a token of appreciation.
Of course, it was to put this account on He Zhenghao’s head.
……
Heavenly Transportation State.
The oracle who received the contribution was slightly stunned and dumbfounded.
Jing Xuan immediately sent a message to inquire as well, ”Old oracle, did you receive Li kid’s contribution degree transfer? One hundred thousand contribution degrees, I remember he’s only at the Foundation Establishment cultivation level, right? What a huge amount of money!”
The oracle smiled and replied, “It’s much more atmospheric than when we were at Foundation Establishment anyway.”
“I only passed on a message, and I got the same payment as you… you won’t be angry, Jing Xuan, will you?”
Jing Xuan laughed out loud, “Hahaha, a bowl of water is even, this little doll is a bit interesting.”
“Not bad, not bad. I see him much smoother than old man Guangwu.”
“After receiving benefits from others, use your heart. Don’t mess things up, it doesn’t matter to you, if my oracle son’s sign is smashed, heh ……”
“Screw up? Looking down on who?” Kyougen snorted coldly and lost his voice.
……
Time passed.
Three months later, He Zhenghao’s posting transfer order came down.
Nothing went wrong.
Guardian of the town of Guang’an, Tianyun Prefecture.
For this, a total of 80,000 contribution points were spent before and after.
Naturally, it was borrowed from Li Fan.
Anyway, He Zhenghao was in debt and had no heart pressure.
Li Fan is also not stingy, borrow as much as you want.
Before leaving, He Zhenghao swore.
Waiting in the Tianyun State after a firm footing, will try to operate, the transfer of Li Fan also over.
Li Fan didn’t say anything and just patted He Zhenghao’s shoulder.
After He Zhenghao left, Li Fan spent his days hiding in the Tianxuan Mirror, not going out and trying to cultivate.
Soon, the time came to Anchor 23 years.
The relic that had risen and gone was also finally found.
However, it had landed in a thousand mile swamp in the center of the Nine Mountain Prefecture.
And after the cultivators started exploring it, information about the origin of this relic was also unearthed.
Ancient Immortal Sect, Chaoyuan Sect.
Although it was not like the Taishang or Da Dao Sect, its reputation was still well known even thousands of years later.
However, before the Great Calamity, it was still considered a famous sect.
Based on the past experience of exploring the remains of the sect, there was definitely a great collection inside.
When the news spread, it immediately attracted many cultivators, who traveled to the Nine Mountain State to explore.
The originally chaotic and incomparable Nine Mountain State became more and more turbulent.
There were even cultivators from the Five Old Men’s Association who simply disguised themselves and blended in so grandly to explore the ruins as well.
The degree of arrogance was evident.
The weakness of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance’s control over the Nine Mountain State could also be seen.
Originally, it was just a normal exploration of the ruins, and the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance hadn’t intended to care much about it.
However, just at this moment, a piece of news came in that made the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance furious.
A God Transformation cultivator named Luo Xi from the Five Elders Association had come to explore the ruins just fine.
Not only did he not hide his identity as a cultivator of the Five Elders Association, but instead, relying on his high cultivation level, he injured and killed many of the exploring members of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
After going deep into the ruins and obtaining some kind of treasure, he left.
In my territory, still so arrogant?
It’s simply a slap in the face.
But doubts came with it.
Such a style carries a clear implication of provocation.
Could there be some kind of conspiracy?
Could it be that the Five Elders Association was about to start another war?
No matter what, face cannot be lost.
The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance quickly dispatched several Transformation Deities to the Nine Mountain State to press for battle.
And issued a solemn warning.
All Five Elders Association cultivators are forbidden to come to the Ninth Mountain State.
If you dare to come, you’re dead!
