Chapter 431: The lion’s share
Chapter 429 – The Lion’s Big Opening
According to Zhou Qingang’s memories, under the rule of the Five Elders Association, it was divided into a total of five major [Heavenly Regions], which were under the jurisdiction of different Heavenly Dignitaries.
And each [Heavenly Domain], had distinctive characteristics that were very different from the others.
His hometown, named [Land of Gentlemen].
It was named for the fact that everyone within it was incapable of lying.
Of course, that was the self-proclaimed name of the people in the domain of the [Land of Gentlemen].
Cultivators from other parts of the Five Elders’ Association preferred to call it the [Land of Truth].
No matter how it was called, it wouldn’t affect its wonderful nature.
There, people were always open and honest, always showing their truest side.
Although there will inevitably be some killing from time to time, but compared to the outside world is full of lies.
Zhou Qing’ang loved his hometown.
To the north of the [Country of Truth] was the dream home of countless cultivators, the [Carefree Land].
As for the other three domains, Zhou Qingang was still young when he was chosen to receive spy training, but he was not able to learn about it.
……
The diffused dream was about to break, and Li Fan reenacted the dream once again.
To ensure the accuracy of the information obtained.
This was repeated three times.
Taking some physiological materials from Zhou Qingang’s body, Li Fan began to refine the doppelganger using it as a template.
A few days later.
A body identical to Zhou Qingang’s appeared.
Li Fan nodded his head slightly, and then did the same as he had done, unleashing the Qi Xuan True Spirit Transformation, and he himself turned into Zhou Qingang’s appearance.
A rather bizarre scene appeared in this small undersea chamber.
The three bodies with exactly the same appearance had different demeanors.
“Wonderful, wonderful!”
Li Fan nodded his head in satisfaction.
Looking at Zhou Qingang, who was still unconscious with the corners of his mouth rising, a trace of color flashed in Li Fan’s eyes.
“I won’t kill you in this world, so as not to reveal the cracks.”
“Drowning in illusionary dreams forever may not be a good thing for you.”
Taking materials from the ground, a sarcophagus was created for Zhou Qingang.
After placing him inside, a bunch of spirit stones were sprinkled down and used to maintain its vitality.
Li Fan also set up a formation with the [Cloud Water Illusion Dream] as the core.
It was able to maintain the illusion for at least twenty years.
Afterwards, he sealed the sarcophagus with a huge stone and then buried it deep into the seabed.
“In this way, no one in the world should ever realize that you’ve disappeared other than me.”
After finishing the traces, Li Fan’s sight seemed to penetrate the seabed and saw Zhou Qingang, who was sleeping in a phantom dream, and said with satisfaction.
He did this, still inspired by that [Eternal Immortal Wall] in the future [Xuan Net] world line.
After the death of a Xuan Huang Realm cultivator, heaven and earth would sense it and a vision would appear in the sky.
Li Fan had not yet mastered a method that could avoid the creation of a vision.
And right now it was not possible for others to realize that the real Zhou Qingang was dead.
Adopting such a method was truly appropriate.
After doing this, the doppelganger returned to Tai’an Island and continued to be the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance town guard.
The main body, on the other hand, headed towards Zhou Qingang’s memories, and the meeting point with the upline.
Zhou Qingang actually knew very little about his upline.
It had always been basically a one-way contact.
And after each joint, the ground for the next meeting would change.
Li Fan came to an uninhabited island, searched on it, and found a plain looking rock.
There were just a few small inconspicuous holes in specific locations.
These small holes, on the other hand, represented the [Coordinates] from the Sea of Clouds.
Based on the coordinates, Li Fan figured out the location of this joint.
After crushing the stone, he flew straight that way.
One day later.
In a ruin at the bottom of the sea, Li Fan found his target.
An unusual looking broken stone.
Li Fan put his hands over it while operating the secret method, and his palms emitted a yellow glow.
In an instant, the same yellowish luster surged out of the broken stone, quickly sweeping over Li Fan’s entire body.
The verification passed and the glow returned to the broken stone.
Shortly afterward, the Broken Stone’s appearance became as smooth as a mirror.
A blurred image of a human face appeared in it.
“What the hell? Didn’t you tell you to hibernate well and not to make contact recently?”
The other party’s tone was icy cold as he reprimanded.
Li Fan, on the other hand, mimicked Zhou Qingang’s tone, “Head! This time, but I have important information to report, which is why I made an exception to contact you!”
“Important information?” The opposite party was obviously disbelieving and had a bad tone, “Tell me.”
Li Fan lowered his voice and approached up and said, “A daoist friend I made friends with, according to him, he was able to get the test questions for this Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance’s Great Entrance Examination.”
The human face was first stunned, then immediately cursed, “Which liar is it again? You believe such an outrageous thing? And you even made it a point to report to me?”
“Zhou Qingang ah Zhou Qingang, you’ve been in Cong Yunhai for a long time and have water in your brain, right?”
Li Fan immediately made a very aggrieved expression, “Head, this time, but it really can’t be true anymore! I guarantee it!”
The human face also became a little hesitant as he looked at Li Fan’s sworn look.
“How?”
Li Fan said, “This daoist friend of mine, there is someone above him!”
“Didn’t I report to you earlier that I befriended He Zhenghao, the town guard of Liuli Island. This person, like me, is also at the Foundation Establishment cultivation level. Not long ago, he even complained to me, saying that it’s hard to save up contribution degrees, and that he didn’t know how long it would take to change his technique.”
“Who would have thought that after not seeing him for a few days, he’d changed to the YuanYing technique!”
Li Fan spoke in an exaggerated tone. “Such an abnormality naturally caught my attention. It took me a lot of feats to inquire about ……”
The human face had been somewhat attracted by what Li Fan had said at this point.
Seeing that he suddenly sold out, he immediately scolded, “Don’t say it yet!”
Li Fan laughed, “This person, He Zheng Hao, is not simple!”
“On the surface, it’s just a mediocre Foundation Establishment Cultivator. In reality, his background is frighteningly large!”
“He has a daughter called He Xin Xin. Hmph, in reality, it should be called He Xin Xin!”
“Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance Tianyu Prefecture’s Heng Family, I don’t know if you’ve heard of it, Head?”
“The jewel of the Heng family, Heng Ruoshui, who is already a Yuan Ying Weaver at a young age, is actually He Zhenghao’s old flame!”
“Who would believe this when it’s said out loud! But it’s true!”
“Before, it seems that because this person He Zhenghao’s cultivation was too poor, he was forced to cut ties with the Heng family. That’s why it’s been a rather troubled life.”
“But recently, it seems that things have taken a turn for the worse.”
Li Fan paused, looked at the human face, and continued, “He Xin Xin has already reached adulthood, and she is very reluctant to let go of her old father when she knows that he is leading such a pitiful life. But if she helps openly and honestly, she is afraid of being discovered by her family.”
“So she had to change the way, quietly delivering the news she overheard to He Zheng Hao.”
“It was by relying on his own daughter’s help that He Zhenghao was considered to have completely turned over!”
Li Fan’s tone was a bit excited and envious: “He knew in advance about the news that [Ugu Obsidian] was going to skyrocket, so he dumped his family’s money and purchased it in one fell swoop.”
“After the price doubled, it was immediately sold off.”
“In one go, he made over a hundred thousand contribution degrees!”
“Over a hundred thousand ah! Head! This has to be enough to fund me for how many years!”
“He Zhenghao was also afraid that word would leak out and be unfavorable to his daughter. So he made up a set of nonsense about how he relied on the guidance of the ancient Tian Ji Sect cultivators and spread it around.”
“I pooh! Truly treating us as fools!”
“Head, fortunately, I was quick-witted and pestered him by all means and softly, and only then did I get the truth out of his mouth.”
Li Fan invited credit with a winning face.
“The source of the leaked test questions for this entry exam is likewise from He Xin Xin.”
“Head, do you think it’s reliable?”
The silhouette on the broken stone didn’t move in anger this time, but remained silent, seemingly looking for something.
After a long time, the human face voices came one after another.
“Heng Ruoshui does have a daughter, it’s just that the identity of the father has always been a mystery.”
“But many years ago, she once returned home in the company of a youth. But not long afterward, the youth was nowhere to be found.”
“Let me see what he looks like. ……”
“Sure enough, it’s He Zhenghao!”
The human face was shocked.
“There’s also this ……”
“Before Ugu Obsidian skyrocketed, there was an unusual trading record. Someone went on a buying spree and later dumped it at a high point.”
“The timing of the grasp is just too good, making it hard to believe that it wasn’t known in advance as insider information.”
“The purchaser ……”
“It’s still He Zhenghao!”
A loud sound similar to slapping a table with force came from the side of the human face.
“In that case, the test questions for the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance’s Grand Entrance Examination are most likely true?”
The other party’s breathing couldn’t help but become rapid.
Li Fan couldn’t help but nod his head, “That’s why I hurriedly came to find you, Head! You should know that the Grand Entrance Examination will be held soon.”
“If we can get the test questions in advance before then ……”
“Then we’ll be able to put nails in more key positions in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance!”
The human face obviously understood the seriousness of the matter and hurriedly asked, “What did he say?”
At this time, Li Fan, however, suddenly became somewhat hesitant.
Swallowing, he said, “Head, He Zhenghao’s price this time is a bit high ……”
The human face angrily rebuked, “Just say it when I tell you to say it! It’s just a little bit of spirit stone, how can you compare it to the entry exam questions?”
Li Fan stretched out his hand and gestured, “He wants this amount?”
“Half a million contribution degrees? It’s not like you can’t ……” The human face hadn’t finished his words.
Li Fan hastily shook his head and cut him off, “No, it’s five million.”
The human face instantly froze.
“Five million? He’s crazy, right?!” His voice trembled a little.
But soon, the human face reacted.
His face suddenly darkened, and there was a hint of murderous aura in his voice, “You’ve been exposed?!”
“Facing a district individual, who is still only a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he definitely wouldn’t have offered such an outrageous price.”
“Unless, he already knows that behind you, is an organization ……”
The image on the broken stone flickered, seeming to disappear at any time.
The human face stared at Li Fan dead in the face, waiting for his answer.
Li Fan, on the other hand, was somewhat speechless, “Head, in your mind, am I that unprofessional?”
“I just told him that I have someone behind me as well.”
“To be able to work as an errand boy in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, who isn’t also related to someone.”
“Don’t worry head, even if He Zheng Hao has some speculations, he would never be right to think of me towards the aspect of a spy.”
“In reality, He Zhenghao is just casting a wide net. He also knows the risks of selling entry test questions, so he’s only doing a one-shot deal.”
“He only deals with one party, and limits the number of people who know the questions to no more than ten who will take the entrance exam.”
……
Only after listening to Li Fan’s explanation did the human face gradually ease up.
The screen became bright and clear again, and the human face carefully analyzed it for a while and said, “Half a million a person, although the cost is a bit high, but it’s still acceptable.”
“It’s just that the number is huge after all. If the test questions given by this He Zhenghao are fake ……”
Li Fan was unimpressed and said, “He Zhenghao, he said that there are seven days for the big entrance exam anyway. He can give us the first day’s exam questions for free first. After it’s determined to be correct, then we’ll make the final deal.”
Hearing this, Man Face Thump couldn’t help but thump his heart.
