Chapter 501: Taking Advantage of the Situation to Resolve a Crisis
The huge stone man stretched out his right hand, and Li Fan flew to his palm.
Then the stone man held Li Fan and placed him in front of everyone.
Li Fan glanced at the densely packed cultivators present, and said solemnly, "Not long ago, I was appreciated by the seniors and was appointed as the acting island master. I was ordered to rebuild Congyun Immortal City."
"I am a lazy person by nature, but I was suddenly given this important task, and I feel very stressed."
"But I dare not disappoint the Immortal Alliance and my seniors, so I signed a military order in front of Master Jinglun to rebuild the Immortal City within half a year."
"Time is tight and the task is heavy. But I believe that with the concerted efforts of our Congyunhai monks, we will be able to successfully complete the goal."
"It is unheard of that a state fairy city was abducted!"
Li Fan pointed at the huge hole below and said, "As long as this ruin exists, it will be an indelible shame for us monks Cong Yunhai!"
"I hope you will help me to avenge this shame!"
After saying that, Li Fan bowed deeply to everyone.
All the monks were moved, and some responded with courtesy either sincerely or under duress.
"On the day when the reconstruction of the Immortal City is completed, I will still be here to reward the meritorious and punish the guilty, and celebrate with you all!"
After Li Fan stood up, he spoke loudly again.
The sound spread all over the place, and the lingering sound lingered for a long time.
Everyone looked at Li Fan with different expressions.
"lofty!"
After a moment's silence, Li Fan suddenly spoke.
"I'm here!" Gao Yuan flew out with a red face.
"Read out for me the personnel transfer order for the reconstruction of the Immortal City!" Li Fan instructed.
"yes!"
Gao Yuan glanced around proudly, cleared his throat, took out a book from his storage ring, injected spiritual power into his voice, and tried his best to read aloud.
"Conscript He Zhenghao, the garrison commander of Liuli Island, as the chief inspector, to lead and supervise all matters related to the collection and consumption of materials during the reconstruction of the Immortal City."
"Zheng Haitong Island guards Peituo and is the chief commander, in charge of the protection during the reconstruction of the fairy city."
"Conscript Zhou Qingang to guard Tai'an Island and serve as the commander-in-chief to coordinate the communication between the various departments during the reconstruction of the Immortal City."
…
As the personnel transfer orders were read out one after another, the expressions of the monks present all became subtle.
Because they discovered that these monks who were named were exactly the group of people who had just stood up to greet Li Fan.
Then everyone suddenly realized.
It seems that you all knew long ago that Li Fan would be the acting island owner, and then you all surrendered?
And what Li Fan did was really unkind. He did not even try to hide anything and only promoted his relatives!
Look at people like He Zhenghao, Pei Tuo, and Zhou Qingang, the highest they have is only at the peak of the Golden Core realm.
His status is even higher than those Nascent Soul cultivators. Is this appropriate?
Although everyone was secretly complaining, they also felt regretful and wondered why they didn't be smarter and act earlier.
After the list was read out, Gao Yuan returned to the crowd, and Li Fan smiled: "Rebuilding the Immortal City is a huge project. My considerations are definitely insufficient."
"Moreover, there are so many talented people in Congyun Sea that it is inevitable that some will be missed. Therefore, I appoint Gao Yuan as the chief attendant. If anyone volunteers and is willing to serve in rebuilding the Immortal City, they can come to him."
As soon as these words were spoken, the monks who were originally somewhat dissatisfied because of missing the opportunity suddenly became active.
"Everyone!" Li Fan concluded.
"The Five Elders launched a surprise attack, and we in Cong Yunhai suffered heavy losses."
"The island's Administrative Hall, Strategic Planning Hall, and Martial Arts Hall..."
"It can be said that the entire army was annihilated! As a result, many positions are now vacant, and we in Cong Yunhai can't even carry out normal affairs."
Having said this, Li Fan paused slightly.
He sighed, glanced at everyone, and said expectantly: "I hope that with everyone's efforts, the glory of Congyunhai can be restored as soon as possible!"
The monks didn't know whether Cong Yunhai had glory or not, but the meaning of Li Fan's words was clear:
Because of the raid by the Five Elders, there are so many vacancies on the island! The hundreds of people I have now are not enough to fill the vacancies! Anyone who is capable, come quickly! This opportunity is rare. If we wait until the fairy city is built in half a year, it will be too late!
Everyone suddenly understood.
Yes, currently these positions are all "virtual positions" created for the purpose of rebuilding the Immortal City.
The titles of General Governor and Chief Inspector sound good, but in reality, the power only comes from Li Fan's "authorization" as the acting island owner.
When the reconstruction of the fairy city is completed, these positions will lose their value and significance.
Instead, what Li Fan called "rewarding merits and punishing crimes" is the highlight.
If I can make great contributions in the process of rebuilding the Immortal City and obtain a position within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance...
Thinking of this, the heartbeats of all the monks suddenly accelerated.
The difficulty of the entrance examination is very high, and it is even more difficult to get promoted after officially joining the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
Island Master Li is right! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
At this time, many eyes were secretly looking at Gao Yuan, and they were secretly thinking about how to deal with this popular person in front of Island Master Li.
After saying a few more words to encourage everyone, Li Fan announced that the ceremony had come to a successful conclusion and that the reconstruction of the Immortal City would officially begin tomorrow.
Upon seeing this, Tan Tai Can on the flying boat did not wait for the crowd to disperse or say hello to Li Fan, but flew away directly.
Looking at his expression, he seemed extremely gloomy.
However, most of the monks were immersed in the fantasy of making great achievements, and this scene did not attract much attention.
Li Fan looked at Tan Taican's receding figure and sneered in his heart.
It was similar to what the cultivators present today guessed. Shenyuzi, Jingxuan, Guangwu, Huangfusong and others were all invited by Li Fan through his contribution points.
This rising star of the Tantai family had no relationship with him, and even had a hidden grudge against him. It was even more impossible for him to be bought by contribution points.
The reason why he could come to celebrate for Li Fan was naturally because of the contract that Tan Taican was forced to sign with Jiao Xiuyuan during the previous Puxian Zhenye incident.
I will agree to the three requests within my ability.
So even though Tan Taican was secretly interfering this time, he had to come and congratulate Li Fan.
A genius like him has a high opinion of himself, but this time he was tricked by Li Fan again.
Of course, I would never tell anyone about such an embarrassing thing.
Therefore, in the eyes of some people, Tan Taican's inconsistent behavior was very strange.
As for the fact that his relationship with Tan Taican had become even worse, it was no longer within Li Fan's consideration.
Anyway, I will have to give up my identity as a Tianji Sect monk sooner or later, so the more debts I have, the better.
The most urgent task is to build Congyun Fairy City.
Although by leveraging the situation, he won people's hearts and solved the problem of no one available.
But there is still a problem, which is still fatal.
Li Fan recalled Jiao Xiuyuan's words again: "There is no problem with the quantity of materials on the list. It is enough to successfully build a floating fairy city."
"but……"
“That was without a single mistake.”
"During the actual construction process, material losses will basically occur due to mistakes."
"Some things are easier to deal with. I can sell them to fellow Taoists at a low price through certain channels."
"But some special materials are strictly controlled by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and cannot be purchased even with contribution points."
