Chapter 494: Chapter 466: It Seems an Old Friend Has Arrived

Jiao Xiuyuan was delighted, “I like the way you do things, it’s exactly to my liking! As they say, even close brothers need clear accounts. Although you helped me make billions through your calculations before, we can’t break the rules.”

After a moment of pondering, Jiao Xiuyuan said, “Give you a fracture and transfer two hundred contributory points to me.”

Li Fan chuckled, “Don’t be too polite, Friend Jiao!”

What mattered to Jiao Xiuyuan was not the contributory points, but the process required to complete the trade.

Without any hesitation, Li Fan transferred two hundred contributory points to Jiao Xiuyuan.

Once the transaction was completed, Li Fan faintly noticed some indescribable changes in the puppet in front of him.

This phenomenon had never occurred before.

A thought occurred to Li Fan, and he couldn’t help conjecturing.

So he asked out loud, “Friend Jiao, are you about to break through?”

Jiao Xiuyuan was somewhat surprised, seemingly not expecting that he would be seen through by Golden Core Stage Li Fan.

“You have a keen eye, friend! The Ancient Heavenly Machine Sect do indeed live up to their reputation.”

After his exclamation, he nodded and said, “Indeed. However, the technique I cultivate is special, and what I call a breakthrough is different from the usual breakthroughs. As for the specifics, it is not convenient for me to delve into detail. I hope you understand.”

Jiao Xiuyuan apologised in a rarity.

Li Fan nodded, indicating his understanding.

“However, I, Jiao Xiuyuan, am not ungrateful. I’ve made a great deal of profit thanks to you.”

“If you need anything, just let me know. I will definitely satisfy you!” Jiao Xiuyuan spoke with high spirits, patting his chest.

“Speaking of which, I happen to need a favor. Do you know about the ancient Medicine King Sect?” Li Fan then asked him to help excavate the Little Pharma Sovereign Cauldron.

“I have a premonition that these small tripods will involve many causes and effects in the future, and it’s of great importance. However, the old site of the Medicine King Sect carries potential fatal risks to me, so I can’t personally go there and have to trouble you.”

Jiao Xiuyuan agreed without hesitation.

“By the way, ever since Chief Lu came to Ten Thousand Immortals Island, I haven’t seen her again. Since you’re well-informed, can you help me investigate? As a participant in the incident, I still want to know the impact it had on the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.”

Due to the existence of the confidentiality agreement, Li Fan could only speak euphemistically.

Jiao Xiuyuan readily agreed.

After thanking Jiao Xiuyuan, the two chatted idly for a while.

When the cultivators who had surrounded Li Fan gradually dispersed, he quietly left the Thousand Miles Hall.

Lu Qixian’s blockade of Ten Thousand Immortals Island had been lifted, and the cultivators were now free to move.

I don’t know what she found out, but reportedly even Zi Yun and Hongxi, two God Transforming Immortal Monarchs, were reassigned to the Headquarters of Immortal Alliance.

At the same time, sensitive cultivators also noticed the subsequent issuance of highly unusual orders.

Cultivators of Nascent Soul Stage and above from the Tiantong Hall and the Array Strategy Hall were successively summoned to the headquarters of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.

“What’s all this about? Are they planning to research and construct the Tianxuan Soul Locking Array in advance?”

“I hope the Five Elders Organization would work harder, I don’t want to see that green sky again in my lifetime.”

Such were Li Fan’s thoughts.

While waiting for Jiao Xiuyuan to investigate and report back, Li Fan quietly left Ten Thousand Immortals Island alone and, transforming into a messenger of the [All Realms Federation], headed straight for the island where the [Empire] group was.

He hadn’t forgotten that the five million contributory points from the Five Elders Organization were still in their hands.

These ten million contributory points, although all existed in the form of standardized Spirit Stones, could be converted into his own resources at any time in the Tianxuan mirror.

However, unlike before, the amount was so huge and of unknown origin.

If Li Fan converts them alone, it might draw the attention of related cultivators.

Especially after he had already converted five million points last time.

Anyway, he needed to obtain technology to control Exotic Beasts from the Empire, he might as well hand over this hot potato to them directly.

There were no few law-abiding refugees from the Empire, so they should be able to easily launder this huge contribution from the Five Elders’ Organization.

Li Fan travelled swiftly and soon arrived above the island.

Sensing Li Fan’s arrival, Qing flickered in response, coming forward to greet him.

Much more courteous than his previous cold demeanor.

It seems that no matter what era, the power of money is always beyond imagination.

“So, are you satisfied with our gift from the All Realms Federation?” Li Fan asked with a smile.

“Ha, ha, more than satisfied. It’s actually a bit shocking.” Qing led Li Fan into the secret room.

“Ten million Contribution points, your generosity is indeed astonishing. But why would you suddenly send people to deliver them? Wasn’t it agreed to trade the next time we meet? If your messenger hadn’t identified himself, I would have been tempted to kill him.” Qing asked with a hint of amusement and confusion in his tone.

Li Fan shook his head, “There’s been a turn of events, for a period of time, the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals might step up its surveillance within its territory. So, we must complete our trade as quickly as possible.”

“The reason I didn’t come before was to find a foothold for you…”

Saying this, Li Fan purposely left a cliffhanger and paused.

“I believe we have shown enough sincerity. Now, it’s up to how your Empire decides.” Li Fan slowly said while drinking the cup of tea prepared by Qing.

“Hmm? This is a good tea.” Li Fan was slightly surprised when the sky-blue tea reached his stomach.

Unlike the spirit tea Li Fan usually drank, it doesn’t enhance cultivation, spiritual power, or divine consciousness.

He just felt warmth flowing from within his body, improving and strengthening it.

Li Fan, who had been cultivating the Creation Furnace Skill, naturally knew it all too well.

It was extremely similar to the Power of Mi Chang in the human body.

“This is Ethereal Dragonwhisker Tea, if you like it, I’ll give you some.” Qing said with a laugh.

After handing Li Fan a storage ring, Qing composed himself.

“Now that we’ve settled personal matters, what we need to discuss next is the trade between the Empire and the All Realms Federation.”

“We hold that the Federation does intend to help the Empire. Therefore, the empire will definitely step up cooperation in return.”

“Firstly, this is the first part of the transaction.”

As he spoke, Qing passed over a uniquely designed storage ring.

Carved on the ring was an Azure Luan bird, lively and its eyes kept moving.

Looking at the Azure Luan bird on the storage ring, Li Fan found it somewhat familiar.

However, birds basically look very similar all over the world.

So he didn’t venture to a conclusion for a while.

Just taking it and inspecting its contents carefully.

To his surprise, his divine sense was obstructed and the inspection failed.

It wasn’t until the Azure Luan Bird lazily glanced at Li Fan and flapped its wings that Li Fan was able to clearly see the contents.
