Chapter 570: White Mist Unleashes a Surprise Attack
So far, Li Fan has not figured out what kind of punishment he will receive for violating the contract with the Five Elders Association.
But he definitely had no intention of breaking the law.
In every transaction with the Five Elders Association, Li Fan made a lot of money. He even wanted to come more often, so why would he take the initiative to break the contract!
The spy from the Five Elders Society has been completely destroyed, and Li Fan is the only one left at the transaction site.
After casually destroying the stone table with the words engraved on it, "Zhou Qingang" flew back to Congyun City.
On the way back, Li Fan was thinking about some abnormal signs in the negotiation process.
The Five Elders Council only agreed to give a handful of the True Tempting Fruit and Humane Stardust, treasures that are useful to cultivators at the Hedao realm.
This is understandable to Li Fan.
However, as for Samantabhadra Zhenzhou, the Five Elders Council was also very stingy and refused to give out more money no matter what.
They would even rather use other more precious materials as compensation than make concessions.
This made Li Fan a little puzzled.
You know, this Samantabhadra True Boat is something that could be bought casually on the roadside when the puppet body was traveling around the Five Elders Association before.
It hasn't been that long and it has suddenly become priceless?
What exactly happened?
Li Fan was puzzled.
It was not until "Zhou Qingang" returned to the Governor's Hall and accidentally saw the map of the area around Cong Yunhai hanging on the wall that a flash of inspiration suddenly came to his mind.
He stared closely at the natural dividing line between the states on the map, called the "White Mist Barrier", and seemed to have realized something.
“So-called supply and demand determine prices.”
"Although the actual value of Puxian Zhenzhou is not high, if the Five Elders Association is currently requisitioning it on a large scale and it is in extremely short supply..."
“That explains everything.”
Li Fan's thoughts raced.
"The Five Elders are planning to march into the white fog?"
"Follow the white fog barrier and attack the interior of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance; or go deep into the white fog?"
Even Li Fan himself was shocked by this sudden idea.
Over the past few years, due to the white mist's ability to devour lifespan, monks have often avoided it.
Who would have thought that these white fog barriers could be used as natural waterways?
Although the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance already knew that the Samantabhadra True Leaf could reduce the impact of the Yuan-Devouring White Mist to a certain extent.
But when it comes to practical applications, it has not yet become popular.
This is undoubtedly a huge blind spot in the thinking of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
The white mist barrier that seems absolutely safe is very likely to be flooded with countless hostile monks in the next moment.
No matter how you look at it, this is an extremely horrifying thing.
"I hope I am just worrying too much. The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance has countless talented people, so they will definitely take precautions against such things..."
"Bar."
For the next period of time, "Zhou Qingang" deliberately made himself very busy.
All the visit requests that would have been rejected in the past are now accepted.
Whenever I have free time, I go to inspect the islands in Congyun Sea.
In just three or four days, I came into contact with hundreds of people of different identities and statuses.
In this way, even if the Five Elders wanted to investigate the source of his information, the traces of the so-called [Futian Alliance].
It is also almost an impossible task.
Moreover, even if the Five Elders had all the means to do this and really captured all these people and searched their souls, they would still not be able to find out anything.
I'm afraid they would never have imagined that all the top secrets of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance came only from Li Fan himself!
On the fifth day, Li Fan came to Wanzang Pavilion on Youlan Island alone with the incomplete formation diagram.
In the deepest secret room, he met the contact person of this transaction.
He was still wearing black clothes, covering his face.
But Li Fan could tell that he was not the same cultivator as last time.
"Very good! Brother Zhou is trustworthy, and we will not let you down." The black-robed monk exclaimed in praise as he looked at Li Fan who arrived as promised.
Li Fan asked about the situation of the previous spy from the Five Elders Society.
The black monk said solemnly: "In order to complete the mission, he chose to sacrifice himself. This is our destiny and our honor."
It was obvious that the person Li Fan saw that day who dissolved in the golden light was truly dead.
He paid with his own life in exchange for a contract with the seals of five Heavenly Lords.
The only strange thing was that there was no falling phenomenon in the sky, but no one knew why.
Li Fan nodded and said no more.
Instead, he handed over the storage ring containing the encrypted jade slip.
The black-robed monk put it away solemnly and said, "Please wait here for a moment, fellow Taoist."
After saying that, he took the ring and left, and no one knew where he went.
Li Fan closed his eyes and waited patiently.
Li Fan is actually not worried about the safety of this clone.
On the one hand, due to the existence of the golden contract, the two parties are prohibited from harming each other.
On the other hand, "Zhou Qingang" currently appears to be a member of the Futian Society, a huge organization hidden deep within the Wanxian League.
And he is the only way to get in touch with the Futian Society.
Unless the Five Elders Association is ready to break with the Futian Association and no longer obtain the secrets of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance from them from now on.
Otherwise, the Five Elders Council would not take action against Li Fan.
Especially when no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't find any information about the Futian Society, which was extremely mysterious.
Moreover, the Five Elders Association is now at war with the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, so they will definitely not make another enemy.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the Five Elders will make a stupid move and use strange objects such as the [Real Temptation Fruit] to force Li Fan to rebel.
So while Li Fan was waiting, he did not relax his vigilance at all and was ready to abandon this clone at any time.
The efficiency of the Five Elders Association is very fast.
In just a cup of tea, the black-robed monk returned to the secret room.
Although he tried his best to hide it, one could vaguely see the excitement in his heart.
"Your methods are truly amazing. I admire you!"
"This is what we promised, please check it."
As he spoke, the black-robed monk handed over a white stone.
"This is..." Li Fan's eyes flashed.
Fortunately, he was knowledgeable and after searching in the memory stored in the Huadao Stone, he immediately knew what this white stone was.
【Kongming Stone Mother】.
Pure natural storage material.
Compared with ordinary storage rings, it has a larger storage space and can be absorbed and refined by monks and stored in the body.
It is also a necessary item for creating space magic weapons. It is extremely precious and basically out of stock.
This item was not on the list of materials submitted by Li Fan. It was obviously given to Li Fan simply as a storage device.
Li Fan nodded slightly, then opened his mouth and swallowed the Kongming Stone Mother directly into his stomach.
However, he did not rush to refine it right away, but instead checked the things inside it first.
The Five Elders Association would naturally not be short of quantity, 10,000 Enlightenment Pills, 300 Samantabhadra Boats, 3 Humanity Stardusts...
All consistent with the contract.
Li Fan focused his attention on a statue floating in the center of a group of objects, emitting five-colored light.
The next chapter will be updated tomorrow at noon. I'm not feeling well so I'll go to bed early.
