Chapter 699: The Great Age of Exploration
Chapter 694 – Great Exploration Era
Huangfu Song steadily caught the teacup and tilted his head to drink.
“After drinking Brother Li’s tea, we’ll be considered brothers from now on.” Dongfang Yao nodded in satisfaction.
“Brother Dongfang, still haven’t introduced me, who is this?” Huangfu Song looked towards Li Fan who was sitting upright on the side and asked tentatively.
“His name is Li Fan, he is someone I happened to meet this time when I was in the Carnival Ruins State’s Maelstrom Enlightenment. I knew him at first sight, and when you said that there was a great opportunity to make a mark, I discussed it with him and came over together.” Dongfang Yao said with his head held high.
A glint flashed in Huangfu Song’s eyes, once again skimming Li Fan without a trace.
Li Fan’s face did not change and he arched his hand, “I have heard of Brother Huangfu’s great name, it is a pleasure to meet you!”
Huangfu Song, however, did not show any particular enthusiasm, but only nodded his head slightly to show that he had met him.
The three of them again exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then Dongfang Yao, who was still straight, cut to the chase.
“Huangfu, don’t be so secretive, what exactly is the once-in-a-hundred-years opportunity to make a mark that you said before? Quickly say it!”
Huangfu Song pondered for a moment before slowly saying, “Although this matter is still in a state of secrecy, it will be officially announced soon. Both of you are also your own people ……”
“I won’t hide it either.”
“The Immortal Alliance is about to issue an order encouraging all cultivators to go exploring deeper into the White Mist. Not to mention the free provision of the Puxian True Boats needed to go deeper into the White Mist, all the proceeds from the cultivator’s exploration will all go to the individual, and the Immortal Alliance won’t intervene in the slightest.”
“And, just by reporting the situation of the white mist that is explored, there will be rewards such as contribution, merit, and even top secret techniques.”
……
Huangfu Song rattled off the new policy that the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance was about to implement.
After speaking, Dongfang Yao was still full of doubts.
“Did I hear it right? The depths of the White Mist? In the White Mist Barrier, is it hard to believe that there is something else besides white mist?”
Huangfu Song gave Dongfang Yao a somewhat helpless look and explained, “In the White Mist, there are [Misty Domains]. Every single Misty Domain is extremely vast. It is even much larger than many cave heavens and small worlds.”
“This is still just the surface of the white mist that has been probed so far. According to the latest investigation, there are also many hidden rift passages within the white mist that are mysterious to the extreme and lead to nowhere.”
“The upper echelons of the Immortal Alliance are very resolute in their will to explore the White Mist this time, and the rewards are unprecedentedly generous. Therefore, many cultivators who know the news have already jumped the gun and entered the White Mist. Just waiting for the policy to be officially finalized, they will be able to report their discoveries and immediately receive their merit rewards.”
“I know that the news is a bit slow, but if I move a bit faster, I can also get a lot of soup. If I hadn’t waited for you, Brother Dongfang, I would have already taken the first step seven days ago.”
Huangfu Song finished his speech, took a sip of tea, and looked helplessly at Dongfang Yao.
“Good brother, interesting enough!” Dongfang Yao slammed on Huangfu’s shoulder, slapping his round belly and making it shake non-stop.
“Then what are you waiting for, why don’t you hurry up and set off? I’m so poor that I can’t afford to get out of the pot. Those damn things needed to strengthen the physical body are really ridiculously expensive!” He urged in a loud voice.
Huangfu Song blankly glanced at Dongfang Yao, “There are many crises within the White Mist, since it’s already late, I don’t care about this moment. It is only natural to be prepared for everything. We are traveling in pairs, not to say that we have any superiority, at the very least, we should not drag the team behind.”
Saying that, his eyes swept over Li Fan intentionally or unintentionally.
Li Fan smiled faintly, “Since Brother Huangfu has said so, then I won’t hide anything. Although my actual battle power is slightly weaker, I am quite wealthy. The Puxian True Boat needed for this trip, as well as the magic treasures that can temporarily withstand the Elemental Devouring White Mist, can all be left to me to prepare.”
“If it turns out that the YuanYing realm is really a bit overwhelmed during the exploration, I will also take the initiative to withdraw. It won’t make things difficult for the two brothers!”
……
Seeing Li Fan being so honest, Huangfu Song was a bit surprised. Dongfang Yao, on the other hand, was a bit unimpressed, “What is Li Fan talking about, what’s wrong with YuanYing cultivation? Aren’t I also a YuanYing cultivator? When brothers are of one mind, their profits will break the gold. How can a mere Yuan Devouring White Mist be difficult for us?” Li Fan frowned and admonished in turn, “I know that Brother Dongfang you are physically strong, even the fissures in the maelstrom cannot hurt you. But the depths of the White Mist are indeed extraordinary. I once heard Brother Shuo say that there is a lost domain in the white mist called the Shouting Abyss. Even he would have to be careful in dealing with it, or else he would be bound to fall. Brother Shuo is a Transformation God battle power, and also has a magic treasure gifted by my mother to protect his body. Even he said so, the ferocity in the white mist is evident.”
Huangfu Song and Dongfang Yao froze on the spot as they listened.
“Brother Shuo? Which Brother Shuo?”
Huangfu Song on the other hand, his face changed slightly, “Could it be ……”
Li Fan nodded his head slightly, “I am not hiding anything from you two brothers, I am friends with Shuo Feng and was invited by him to serve as a guest secretary of the Xuan Family.”
Hearing these words, Dongfang Yao did not have any reaction yet.
Huangfu Song, however, stood up violently and looked at Li Fan, his face filled with shock.
“Brother Li, are these words true.”
Li Fan smiled, “I don’t think there is any YuanYing cultivator in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance who dares to have the guts to impersonate a guest secretary of the Xuan Family, right?”
Having received personal confirmation, Huangfu Song immediately changed his attitude.
“Aiya, there is actually this matter! Why didn’t brother Li say so earlier! With your help, this trip to White Mist will definitely be full of rewards.”
The exchange of words was full of boasting, while at the same time not moving, he inquired with Li Fan about things related to Shuo Feng.
After divulging some details, Huangfu Song was finally sure and became more and more enthusiastic.
“With Brother Li Fan as a great help, the certainty of this expedition has increased by a few more points. Without delay, we need to set off as soon as possible.” Huangfu Song said decisively.
“Prepare the supplies, one day is enough.” Li Fan stated.
Dongfang Yao shrugged, indicating that he could do it anytime.
The three of them then agreed to rendezvous here at this time tomorrow.
After bidding farewell to the two for the time being, Li Fan came into the Heavenly Xuan Mirror and took out the communication spirit talisman, asking Shuo Feng about the Immortal Alliance’s decision to explore the White Mist on a large scale.
Shortly after, Shuo Feng sent a reply.
“Oh, it seems like there is such a thing. What, are you interested? But there are too many strange things in there, there’s no need to take that risk. If you’re short of contribution points or something, I’ll talk to my family and raise your offerings. Don’t go and join in the fun, it would be too worthless to die in there.” Shuo Feng still had that light and indifferent tone.
After Li Fan thanked him for his goodwill, he pursued the news about the Heavenly Spirit Flower Primal Seed before hanging up the communication.
“The Maze Domain ……”
The heavy white mist was indeed very treacherous and crisis-ridden.
Just from what Li Fan had seen in his last life, there were the Shouting Abyss and the Chaotic Word Maze Domain.
Even the Eternal Immortal Barrier that guarded the Shouting Abyss was built with the palm of a fallen Ancient Heavenly Father.
This Heavenly Exalted Broken Palm was exactly what floated out from the white mist.
It was enough to see the menace and mystery in the white mist.
