When Li Fan transmigrated into a new world, his life seemed unremarkable. He was moderately well-off, with a wife and children, but nothing extraordinary. Everything changed upon his death, when he...
Chapter 429 The Lion Opens His Mouth
According to Zhou Qingang's memory, under the jurisdiction of the Five Elders Council, there are a total of five major [Heavenly Realms], which are under the jurisdiction of different Heavenly Lords.
And each [realm] has distinct characteristics that are completely different from other places.
His hometown is called "The Country of Gentlemen".
It gets its name because no one within it can lie.
Of course, that is what the people in the [Country of Gentlemen] call themselves.
Monks from other parts of the Five Elders prefer to call it the [Land of Truth].
No matter what it is called, it will not affect its beautiful essence.
There, people are always honest with each other and always show their truest selves.
Although some fighting is inevitable from time to time, it is better than the outside world which is full of lies.
Zhou Qingang loves his hometown very much.
To the north of the [Real Kingdom] is the dreamland of countless monks, the [Land of Worry-Free Paradise].
As for the other three regions, Zhou Qingang was still young when he was selected for spy training and had no idea about it.
…
The evolved dream was about to break, and Li Fan replayed the dream once again.
To ensure the accuracy of the information obtained.
This was repeated three times.
Taking some physiological materials from Zhou Qingang, Li Fan began to use them as a template to refine his clone.
A few days later.
A body exactly like Zhou Qingang appeared.
Li Fan nodded slightly, and then did the same thing again, activating the Qixuan Zhenling Transformation, and he also turned into Zhou Qingang's appearance.
A rather strange scene appeared in this small underwater secret room.
Three bodies that look exactly the same, but with different expressions.
"Wonderful, wonderful!"
Li Fan nodded with satisfaction.
Looking at Zhou Qingang, who was still unconscious with a smile on his face, a strange look flashed in Li Fan's eyes.
"I won't kill you in this life, so as to avoid exposing your flaws."
"Being forever immersed in fantasy may not be a bad thing for you."
Using local materials, a sarcophagus was built for Zhou Qingang.
After putting him in, a pile of spirit stones were scattered to maintain his life.
Li Fan set up a formation with [Cloud and Water Fantasy Dream] as the core.
An illusion that can last for at least twenty years.
The sarcophagus was then sealed with huge stones and buried deep in the sea.
"This way, no one in the world will notice that you've disappeared except me."
After dealing with all the traces, Li Fan's sight seemed to penetrate the bottom of the sea, and he saw Zhou Qingang sleeping in a dream, and said with satisfaction.
He did this because he was inspired by the [Eternal Immortal Wall] in the future [Xuanwang] world line.
After the death of a cultivator from the Xuanhuang Realm, the heaven and earth will sense each other and strange phenomena will appear in the sky.
Li Fan has not yet mastered the method to avoid the occurrence of strange phenomena.
But now we can’t let others find out that the real Zhou Qingang is dead.
This approach is really the most appropriate.
After doing all this, the clone returned to Tai'an Island and continued to guard the Wanxian League.
I went towards the meeting point with my superior in Zhou Qingang's memory.
Zhou Qingang actually knew very little about his superiors.
It has always been a one-way connection.
And after each meeting, the ground for the next meeting will change.
Li Fan came to an uninhabited island and searched it, and indeed found an ordinary-looking stone.
There are just a few inconspicuous small holes in specific locations.
These small holes represent the [coordinates] from the sea of clouds.
Li Fan calculated the location of the meeting based on the coordinates.
After crushing the stone, it flew straight over there.
One day later.
Li Fan found his target in a ruin on the seabed.
A seemingly ordinary broken stone.
Li Fan covered his hands and started to practice the secret technique at the same time, and his palms emitted a yellow light.
In an instant, the same pale yellow light emerged from the broken stone and quickly swept across Li Fan's body.
The verification passed, and the light returned to the broken stone.
Soon after, the surface of the broken stone became as smooth as a mirror.
A blurry image of a human face appeared in it.
"What's going on? Didn't I tell you to stay dormant and not contact me recently?"
The other party scolded in a cold tone.
Li Fan imitated Zhou Qingang's tone: "Boss! This time I have important information to report, so I made an exception and contacted you!"
"Important information?" The other party clearly didn't believe it and said in a bad tone, "Tell me about it."
Li Fan lowered his voice, stepped forward and said, "A fellow Taoist I made friends with said that he could get the test questions for the Ten Thousand Immortals League's entrance exam."
The man was stunned for a moment, then he immediately cursed: "Who is this liar again? You believe such an outrageous thing? And you even report it to me?"
"Zhou Qingang, Zhou Qingang, you've been in Cong Yunhai for too long, and your brain is filled with water, right?"
Li Fan immediately made a very aggrieved expression: "Boss, this time it really can't be more serious! I guarantee it!"
Seeing Li Fan's confident look, the human face also became a little hesitant.
"What do you mean?"
Li Fan said: "My fellow Taoist, there is someone up there!"
"Didn't I report to you before that I met He Zhenghao, the guard of Liuli Island? He is at the foundation-building stage just like me. Not long ago, he complained to me that it was difficult to accumulate contribution points and that he didn't know how long it would take to change his cultivation method."
"Who would have thought that after not seeing him for a few days, he would have adopted the Nascent Soul Technique!"
Li Fan preached in an exaggerated tone.
"Such an anomaly naturally attracted my attention. I spent a lot of effort to find out..."
The human face was now somewhat attracted by what Li Fan said.
Seeing that he was suddenly keeping the secret, he immediately scolded, "Hurry up and tell me!"
Li Fan laughed: "He Zhenghao is not a simple person!"
"On the surface, he is just an ordinary foundation-building cultivator. In fact, his background is terrifyingly powerful!"
"He has a daughter named He Xinxin. Humph, actually, she should be called Heng Xinxin!"
"Heng Clan of Tianyuzhou in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, have you ever heard of him?"
"Heng Ruoshui, the jewel in the crown of the Heng family, who is already a Yuanying weaving master at a young age, is actually He Zhenghao's old lover!"
"Who would believe this if I told them to others? But it's true!"
"Before, it seems that because He Zhenghao's cultivation was too poor, he was forced to cut off contact with the Heng family. So he lived a difficult life."
"But recently, it seems that things have taken a turn for the better."
Li Fan paused, glanced at the person's face, and then said, "He Xinxin is already an adult. She knows that her old father is living such a miserable life, and she is very reluctant to let him go. But if she helps openly, she is afraid of being discovered by her family."
"So I had to change my method and quietly pass on the news I overheard to He Zhenghao."
"It was with the help of his daughter that He Zhenghao was able to completely turn things around!"
Li Fan's tone was a little excited and a little envious: "He knew in advance that the price of [Ugu Obsidian Stone] was going to skyrocket, so he spent all his money to buy it in one go."
“After the price doubled, they sold immediately.”
"In just one round trip, I earned hundreds of thousands of contribution points!"
"Hundreds of thousands! Head! This will be enough for me to finance for many years!"
"He Zhenghao was afraid that the news would leak out and harm his daughter. So he made up a lie that it was all thanks to the guidance of the ancient Tianji Sect monks and spread it everywhere."
"Bah! You really take us for fools!"
"Boss, luckily I was smart and used every possible means to pester him, and finally I got the truth out of him."
Li Fan took credit with a smug look on his face.
"The source of the leak of the exam questions for this job entrance exam was also He Xinxin."
"Boss, do you think it's reliable?"
The figure on the broken stone did not get angry this time, but remained silent, as if searching for something.
After a long time, human faces and voices began to be heard one after another.
"Heng Ruoshui does have a daughter, but the identity of her father has always been a mystery."
"But many years ago, she once went home with a young man. But not long after, the young man disappeared."
"Let me see how he looks..."
“It’s He Zhenghao indeed!”
The human face was shocked.
"And this..."
"Before the Ugu Obsidian skyrocketed, there were unusual trading records. Someone bought a lot and then sold it at a high point."
"The timing was so good that it's hard to believe that they didn't get the inside information in advance."
"The buyer..."
"It's still He Zhenghao!"
There was a loud noise coming from the face, similar to someone slamming the table.
"So, the questions in the Ten Thousand Immortals League entrance exam are very likely to be true?"
The other person's breathing also became rapid.
Li Fan nodded continuously: "That's why I came to see you in such a hurry! You know, the entrance exam is about to be held."
"If we could get the test questions in advance..."
"We can then put more nails in the key positions of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance!"
The human face obviously understood the seriousness of the matter and asked quickly, "What did he say?"
At this moment, Li Fan suddenly became a little hesitant.
He stammered, "Boss, the price He Zhenghao offered this time is a bit high..."
The human face angrily scolded: "Just say it when I tell you to! It's just a few spirit stones, how can it be compared with the entrance examination questions?"
Li Fan stretched out his hand and gestured, "He wants this amount?"
“Five hundred thousand contribution points? It’s not impossible…” The human face hadn’t finished speaking.
Li Fan quickly shook his head and interrupted him: "No, it's five million."
The face froze instantly.
"Five million? Is he crazy?!" His voice was trembling.
But soon, the human face reacted.
His expression suddenly darkened, and his voice was filled with murderous intent: "You're exposed?!"
"Facing a mere individual, who is only a foundation-building cultivator, he would never offer such an outrageous price."
"Unless he already knows that there is an organization behind you..."
The image on the broken stone flickered and seemed to disappear at any time.
The human face stared at Li Fan, waiting for his answer.
Li Fan was somewhat speechless and said, "Boss, in your mind, am I so unprofessional?"
"I just told him that there's someone behind me."
"To be able to work in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, everyone must be related to them."
"Don't worry, boss. Even if He Zhenghao has some suspicions, he will never think of me as a spy."
"In fact, He Zhenghao is just casting a wide net. He also knows the risks of selling job entrance examination questions, so he only does a one-time deal."
"Only trade with one party, and limit the number of people who know the test questions and take the entrance exam to no more than ten."
…
After listening to Li Fan's explanation, the man's expression gradually relaxed.
The picture became bright and clear again. The human face analyzed it carefully for a while and said, "Five hundred thousand per person. Although the cost is a bit high, it is still acceptable."
"It's just that the number is huge after all. If the test questions given by He Zhenghao are fake..."
Li Fan said unconcernedly, "He Zhenghao said that the entrance exam lasts for seven days anyway. He can give us the first day's exam questions for free. After we are sure everything is correct, we can make the final deal."
Hearing this, people's faces can't help but feel their hearts beating.
