Chapter 694: The Age of Exploration
Huangfu Song took the teacup steadily and drank it down with his head tilted back.
"After drinking Brother Li's tea, we will be brothers from now on." Dongfang Yao nodded with satisfaction.
"Brother Dongfang, you haven't introduced this to me yet. Who is this person?" Huangfu Song looked at Li Fan who was sitting upright beside him and asked tentatively.
"His name is Li Fan. I met him by chance when I was attaining enlightenment in the whirlpool in Ningxu Prefecture this time. He and I hit it off right away. You said there was a great opportunity to make a contribution, so I discussed it with him and came here together." Dongfang Yao said with his head held high.
A gleam of light flashed in Huangfu Song's eyes, and he glanced at Li Fan again unnoticeably.
Li Fan remained calm and bowed: "I have heard of Brother Huangfu's great name for a long time, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
Huangfu Song did not show any particular enthusiasm, but just nodded slightly to show his greeting.
The three of them exchanged pleasantries again, and then the straightforward Dongfang Yao got down to business.
"Huangfu, don't keep us in suspense. What exactly is this once-in-a-century opportunity to make a contribution that you mentioned before? Tell me now!"
Huangfu Song hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "Although this matter is still confidential, it will be officially announced soon. Both of you are our own people..."
"I won't hide it."
"The Immortal Alliance will soon issue an order to encourage all cultivators to explore deeper into the white fog. Not only will we provide the Samantabhadra True Boat needed to explore deeper into the white fog for free, but all gains during the cultivator's exploration will belong to the individual, and the Immortal Alliance will not interfere in the slightest."
"Moreover, as long as you report the situation of the white fog you have discovered, you will be rewarded with contribution points, merits, and even top-secret skills."
…
Huangfu Song talked incessantly about the new policies that the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance was about to implement.
After he finished speaking, Dongfang Yao's face was still full of confusion.
"Did I hear you right? Deep in the white fog? In the white fog barrier, besides the white fog, is there anything else?"
Huangfu Song looked at Dongfang Yao helplessly and explained, "In the white fog, there is a [Maze] area. Each maze area is extremely vast. It is even much larger than many caves and small worlds."
"This is only the surface of the white fog that has been explored so far. According to the latest investigation, there are many hidden cracks and passages in the white fog. They are extremely mysterious and no one knows where they lead to."
"The Immortal Alliance's top leaders are very determined to explore the White Mist this time, and the rewards are unprecedentedly generous. Therefore, many cultivators who know the news have already entered the White Mist first. As long as the policy is officially finalized, they will report their findings and receive the meritorious rewards immediately."
"I know the news is a little slow, but if we act quickly, we can still get a lot of benefits. If I hadn't been waiting for you, Brother Dongfang, I would have gone there seven days ago."
After Huangfu Song finished speaking, he took a sip of tea and looked at Dongfang Yao helplessly.
"Good brother, you are so nice!" Dongfang Yao slapped Huangfu on the shoulder, making his round belly shake.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's get going quickly. I'm so poor that I can't even make ends meet. Those damn things needed to strengthen the body are ridiculously expensive!" He urged repeatedly.
Huangfu Song rolled his eyes at Dongfang Yao and said, "There are dangers everywhere in the white fog. Since it's too late, we don't care about the short time. We must be fully prepared. We are traveling together. Even if we don't have any outstanding skills, at least we should not hold the team back."
As he spoke, his eyes swept over Li Fan intentionally or unintentionally.
Li Fan smiled slightly: "Since Brother Huangfu said so, I won't hide it. Although my actual combat power is slightly weak, I have quite a lot of money. The Puxian Zhenzhou needed for this trip, as well as the magic weapon that can temporarily resist the Yuanshi White Mist, can be left to me to prepare."
"If I find that the Nascent Soul stage is too strenuous during the exploration, I will take the initiative to withdraw. I will not make things difficult for you two brothers!"
…
Huangfu Song was a little surprised to see Li Fan being so frank. Dongfang Yao was a little disapproving: "What are you talking about, Li Fan? What's wrong with the Nascent Soul cultivation? Am I not also a Nascent Soul cultivator? Brothers are united and their strength can break metal. How can a mere Yuan Devouring White Mist defeat us?"
Li Fan frowned and advised, "Brother Dongfang, you are very strong, and even the cracks in the whirlpool can't hurt you. But the depths of the white fog are really dangerous. I once heard from Brother Shuo that there is a mysterious area in the white fog, called the Chizha Abyss. Even he has to be careful, otherwise he will fall. Brother Shuo is a god-transforming warrior, and he has the magic weapon given by my mother to protect him. Even he said so, which shows how dangerous the white fog is."
Huangfu Song and Dongfang Yao were stunned when they heard this.
"Brother Shuo? Which Brother Shuo?"
Huangfu Song's expression changed slightly: "Could it be..."
Li Fan nodded slightly: "To be honest with you two brothers, I have a close relationship with Shuo Feng, and I was invited by him to serve as a guest of the Xuan family."
After hearing this, Dongfang Yao did not react at all.
Huangfu Song suddenly stood up and looked at Li Fan with shock on his face.
"Brother Li, this is true."
Li Fan smiled and said, "I think there is no Nascent Soul cultivator in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance who dares to pretend to be a guest of the Xuan family, right?"
After getting the personal confirmation, Huangfu Song immediately changed his attitude.
"Oh, there is such a thing! Brother Li, why didn't you tell me earlier! With your help, this trip to Baiwu will definitely be fruitful."
The conversation was full of flattery, and at the same time, he calmly asked Li Fan about matters related to Shuo Feng.
After revealing some details, Huangfu Song finally confirmed it and became more enthusiastic.
"With the great help from Brother Li Fan, our confidence in this expedition has been improved. We need to set off as soon as possible without delay." Huangfu Song said firmly.
"Prepare the supplies. One day will be enough." Li Fan stated.
Dongfang Yao shrugged, indicating that he was available anytime.
So the three of them agreed to meet here at this time tomorrow.
After temporarily bidding farewell to the two, Li Fan came to the Tianxuan Mirror, took out the communication talisman, and asked Shuo Feng about the Immortal Alliance's decision to explore the white fog on a large scale.
Not long after, Shuo Feng sent a reply.
"Oh, it seems like that's the case. Why, are you interested? But there are too many weird things in there, there's no need to take the risk. If you're short of contribution points or something, I'll talk to my family and they'll increase your offerings. Don't join in the fun, it would be too worthless to die in there." Shuo Feng still had that light and indifferent tone.
After Li Fan declined his kindness, he asked more about the original species of Tianling Flower before hanging up the phone.
"The Lost Realm..."
The thick white fog was indeed extremely treacherous and full of dangers.
Just from what Li Fan had seen and heard in his previous life, there were the Abyss of Chaos and the Domain of Chaos.
Even the Eternal Immortal Fortress that guards the Abyss was built with the palm of the fallen ancient celestial master.
The broken palm of the Heavenly Lord floated out from the white mist.
It is enough to see the danger and mystery in the white fog.
