Chapter 531: Immortal City as Cave
"You won't ask me to buy the materials you withheld, will you?" Li Fan remained calm, slowly drank a cup of tea, and looked at Zhou Kebao. "Although I am relatively wealthy, my contribution points are not blown by the wind. These materials don't seem to have any other use except to build the fairy city."
Zhou Kebao quickly shook his head: "How can you be so ungrateful?"
He looked at Li Fan cautiously, then bowed and said flatteringly: "In fact, I came to see you because I believe in peace and harmony..."
Li Fan suddenly put the teacup down with a loud bang, which frightened Zhou Kebao so much that he stopped talking and stood up straight.
Li Fan's face was stern, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes: "Peace is the most valuable. It seems that you didn't plan to do so before."
"You withheld so much supplies, and that was on the premise that I signed a military order. You are trying to force me, Li Fan, to death."
Zhou Kebao waved his hands repeatedly and explained tremblingly: "We have no such intention! We have no such intention! From the beginning to the end, we are just seeking money at most..."
Li Fan did not comment, and said calmly: "Now that things have come to this, I will not argue with you anymore..."
Zhou Kebao was in disbelief when he heard this.
However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Li Fan say, "But after Congyun Fairy City is officially completed, we must report everything to the higher-ups."
"After all, being able to complete the construction of the Immortal City without wasting any materials, doesn't that just prove that I, Li Fan, am capable?"
"It is necessary to announce it to the world and let everyone know. If all the city lords in the world are like me, then the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance will swallow up the Five Elders Association in no time, right?"
"What do you think, Fellow Daoist Zhou?" Li Fan said shamelessly.
"Haha, fellow Daoist, you're joking." Zhou Kebao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, already understanding the threat in Li Fan's words.
"If you have any requests, just tell us. We will definitely satisfy them. Please don't make things worse."
Zhou Kebao patted his chest and assured.
"Don't look at what I want, look at what you have." Li Fan stepped forward and patted Zhou Kebao on the shoulder.
"Contribution? Do I need this?"
Li Fan showed a proud look on his face: "My deduction skills are well-known all over the world. It's easy to make money with money. The so-called contribution is just a string of numbers in my eyes."
Zhou Kebao's body trembled slightly when he heard this.
"Besides, when Congyun Immortal City is completed, there will definitely be a lot of corresponding rewards. By then, as a senior official, my authority level will also soar."
"I have contribution points and authority. How many things in this world are there that I can't get?"
"What can you do to impress me?"
Li Fan stared at Zhou Kebao with burning eyes.
Zhou Kebao was pressed by Li Fan's gaze, and felt that what the other party said made a lot of sense. His mind was suddenly in chaos, and he couldn't think of a suitable answer for a while.
"Come back to me when you've made up your mind. I have official business to attend to, so I'm sorry I can't keep you company!" Li Fan said coldly, ordering him to leave.
Zhou Kebao retreated with a worried look on his face.
Li Fan’s meaning was very clear.
They interfered in this matter and can be forgiven.
But compensation of sufficient value needs to be provided.
"The most difficult thing to do is to have no requirements." Zhou Kebao sighed slightly.
He looked back at the room where Li Fan was.
Since he left for such a short period of time, seven or eight different monks with stiff expressions have come in and out frequently.
"The momentum has already been established, we cannot force it to be an enemy."
"In that case, why not take this opportunity to turn the enemy into a friend? From what I've seen, he's not the kind of person who will take revenge for any slight. As long as we have enough bargaining chips, we won't have to worry about not being able to defeat him."
Zhou Kebao's thoughts raced, and he made up his mind in an instant.
So he hurried back and discussed with his accomplices.
Five days later, Zhou Kebao appeared in front of Li Fan again, full of confidence.
"Fellow Daoist, please look at this."
He pointed in the air, and a miniature image of a suspended city appeared in the air.
"What does this mean?" Li Fan looked at it for a moment, but couldn't figure out what it meant.
Without showing any emotion, he asked out loud.
Seeing Li Fan like this, Zhou Kebao became more confident and smiled mysteriously.
"It's the same cave residence as the Hanging Immortal City of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, or even better..."
"I wonder if you are interested?"
Zhou Kebao asked slowly in a low voice.
"Hmm?" Li Fan's eyes focused, and he turned his head to look carefully at the miniature landscape in the air.
My thoughts raced in my head and I couldn't help but gasp.
"The supplies you withheld were more than double what you gave me? Aren't you a little too bold?"
Zhou Kebao quickly said: "Haha, fellow Taoist, you misunderstood."
"Although I did reduce a lot this time in order to plot against you, it is still far from enough to completely rebuild a suspended city."
"In fact, these materials are the surplus we have accumulated from the repair and renovation projects of the immortal cities in various states."
"Friend Li, you are also aware that when the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance allocates materials for projects, it has to take into account various unexpected situations, and the budget is relatively sufficient. We are often in this line of work, so practice makes perfect. The actual loss is very small."
"So there is always a surplus of supplies. Naturally, we cannot hand in the extra supplies, so they end up in our pockets."
…
Zhou Kebao smiled slightly and stopped talking suddenly, leaving everything unsaid.
"We have accumulated these materials over the years. Rather than leaving them in the warehouse to gather dust, we should put them to good use and resolve this misunderstanding between you and me."
"Using public property for private purposes, using the immortal city as a cave residence. Haha, I can guarantee that even in our Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, this kind of thing is not common."
Li Fan stared at the constantly rotating fairy city and was obviously moved.
Seeing this, Zhou Kebao started selling the product again with great effort.
"Except for the fact that this immortal city cave house cannot be connected to the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, the various facilities in it can be made the same as those of an ordinary immortal city."
"Of course, if you think it's too high-profile, we can also provide hidden functions. Buildings such as the Administrative Hall and the Martial Arts Hall can be hidden at ordinary times. They can be called up again when needed."
"We will also leave enough space for later transformation in the Immortal City Cave Mansion."
"If you want to strengthen the protective array or prohibitions in the future, it will be no problem."
"Of course, if you can make some contribution, we can do it for you."
"If you are generous enough, we can discuss the long-distance teleportation array or even the virtual mustard seed miniaturization array."
"A fairy city cave that can be carried with you, has its own teleportation function, and can be attacked or defended..."
"Are you satisfied, fellow Daoist?"
Zhou Kebao asked temptingly.
Li Fan laughed out loud in response.
