Chapter 172 Operation into the Immortal Alliance
"Such an above-board job sale? Is there no one in charge?" Li Fan replied in shock.
"Who cares? The Immortal Lord Huashen?" He Zhenghao asked. "The two on Wanxian Island are much more open and aboveboard in doing this than the people below."
"Ahem..." He Zhenghao paused and started explaining to Li Fan again.
"The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance has a high degree of autonomy in each state. As long as they don't break the rules of the alliance and don't alarm the group of people in the Guardian Hall, the headquarters won't bother to care about the affairs of the branches."
"Anyway, the trading and distribution of resources within the alliance must all go through the Tianxuan Mirror. Everything is under control, and there won't be any major chaos."
"So, the Dharma Protector Hall has the highest status? Fellow Daoist, do you know how to join it? Even if it costs more contribution points, I am willing to do so." Li Fan asked, thinking of the Foundation Establishment cultivator Wan Dharma Protector who hunted him down in his eleventh life.
"The personnel of the Dharma Protector Hall in each state are directly dispatched and appointed by the headquarters. It is indeed difficult for fellow Taoists to join the Dharma Protector Hall." He Zhenghao replied tactfully.
"There are so many monks who want to become Dharma Protectors, the competition is fierce, and the queue is too long." He Zhenghao sighed. "The only reliable way is the assessment that takes place every ten years. I once wanted to be a Dharma Protector, but the requirements were too strict and I was not selected. In the end, I had to settle for the next best thing and choose to be an island guard."
“Otherwise, I wouldn’t be worrying about the martial arts now. You know, the guardians in the Guardian Hall can choose and practice martial arts for free.” He Zhenghao said enviously.
"There is such a good thing?" Li Fan was a little surprised.
"Of course. Dharma protectors have to face all kinds of vicious law thieves every day, and the risk of falling is not small. It is normal to have better welfare." He Zhenghao said as a matter of course.
"In fact, being a formation repairer is not bad either. There is no need for you to focus on the position of guardian. You can receive a fixed salary every year, and you can also learn formation knowledge from the formation master for free. All you need to do is help repair the island protection formations on the islands in Congyun Sea."
"Would you like to consider it? It only takes 10,000 contribution points, and I can help you lobby for it."
He Zhenghao asked in a seductive tone.
Li Fan asked again, "I wonder if you are familiar with Master Zhang Zhiliang? I heard that he is kind and generous, and his level of formation skills is extremely high. He can be said to be the best in Congyunhai. If you want to be a formation repairer, I think it would be better to follow him."
He Zhenghao was a little surprised: "Be lenient to others? Where did you hear that from, fellow Taoist? This person has a strange temper."
"However, his level of formation skills is indeed impressive. If we follow him, we may gain more."
"I can't guarantee this matter, I can only try my best." He Zhenghao said honestly.
"Fellow Daoist, just go for it. Whether it succeeds or not, I will remember your kindness in my heart." Li Fan boasted. "Don't worry about the contribution points. I borrowed contribution points from Qingfeng Hall and added Lingwu grass, and there is still some left. It should be enough to deal with this matter."
He Zhenghao heard this and said, "Since you said so, I will definitely do my best. Please wait for my good news!"
After expressing his gratitude again, Li Fan ended the call with the feeling that "Friend He Daoyou is really a good comrade."
"Free skills, ten-year assessment..." Li Fan thought about it and searched for relevant information in the Tianxuan Realm.
The Wanxian League’s entry assessment is held every ten years.
The last assessment was about half a year ago.
The content of the assessment will vary depending on the intended position.
The assessment is conducted in this Tianxuan Mirror, which also eliminates the possibility of favoritism and fraud.
The results will be available immediately after the assessment, so you don’t have to wait too long.
Those who participate in the assessment will lose their memory of the assessment content after leaving the Tianxuan Mirror.
This eliminates the possibility of anyone making a profit from it.
…
"It's really rigorous!" Li Fan said in amazement. "When the next assessment begins, I can go and see the world."
After searching for the impressions of the monks of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance on the assessment, I found that "difficult", "outrageous" and "conspiracies" have become the consensus of the vast majority of monks.
"You have a new video message, please check it in time."
When Li Fan was watching with great interest, the prompt from the Tianxuan Mirror suddenly sounded.
"Huh?"
Li Fan was a little surprised. He turned on the video and a man in a green robe suddenly appeared.
"This...young friend. I am Chen Ying from the pharmacy."
"Where did you find the two blue-blood corals you provided last time?"
"After I succeeded in refining the elixir this time, I found that the Ice Heartless Pill I made was much more effective than the one I refined before."
"Nothing else has changed. After much thought, the only unexpected factor is these two blue-blood corals."
"So I used other blue blood corals to refine it again, and found that the effect of enhancing the efficacy of the medicine disappeared again."
"The two blue-blood corals you provided are of much higher quality than the regular varieties."
"I want to go to where it grows and see what's going on. Maybe I can find something."
"No matter what the result is, if you tell me the truth, I will reward you handsomely."
…
The image disappeared without an immediate reply, but Li Fan fell into deep thought.
Recalling the process of picking blue blood corals before, Li Fan did not notice anything special about those two locations at that time.
"Could it be that I was negligent for a moment?" Li Fan thought about it and decided to make another trip to find out what was going on.
In order to prevent being followed by Chen Ying from the pharmacy, Li Fan specially bought a "Trace-Eradication Talisman" in the Tianxuan Realm.
It is an upgraded version of the "Hidden Shape Talisman" and can block the prying eyes of Yuanying realm monks at the highest level.
After activating the Extermination Talisman, Li Fan returned to the vicinity of Mist Crow Island, to the underwater ruins where the blue blood coral was discovered.
With the corals taken away by Li Fan, this place no longer has the vitality it once had.
Only one or two fish occasionally swam through the cracks between the collapsed rocks of the ruins.
"There's nothing special about it." After Li Fan investigated, he still couldn't find anything special.
Li Fan even used his formless murderous intent to lock onto a fish in the ruins and observed it carefully from the perspective of heaven and earth.
The result is still the same.
Li Fan then went to the deep underwater valley where the second blue blood coral was discovered.
Still the same.
"You are a Nascent Soul cultivator and an elder of the Medicine Hall. You shouldn't make fun of me."
"So, it's because my cultivation is not good enough that I can't detect it?"
At present, this is the only explanation.
Li Fan then returned to Tianxuan Mirror and contacted Chen Ying.
