Chapter 590: Chapter 562: Changes in the Sky-spirit State

“Thanks for the help, my friend!” He Zhenghao laughed and bowed his hands, returning with Gao Yuan in tow.

Watching their retreating backs, Li Fan felt a strange emotion.

“In just one year, they’ve been corrupted to this extent…”

“Not too long ago, these two had speculated that I was the Sovereign Immortal who lost his cultivation, hoping to ride on my coattails for a promising outlook.”

“Now they’re even daring to lie to my face.”

A glint of cold light flashed in Li Fan’s eyes.

After all, he was the one who instigated the Battle of Heavenly Spirit State.

He had anticipated that some of the cultivators involved in the fundraising plan would fall in the battle.

However, he never actively brought this matter up with He Zhenghao.

He did this to see what He Zhenghao would do when faced with unclaimed principal funds.

And the result…

“Indeed, human hearts cannot withstand trials.”

“Especially in the face of so many contribution points. When already accustomed to astronomical figures in hundreds of millions, how can one be satisfied with their own meager salary?”

“They will certainly look for extra gains.”

Li Fan shook his head in disappointment. He couldn’t say he felt let down.

In fact, he had originally planned, considering the “Mountain-Seating Secret” and his past life experiences, to provide He Zhenghao with a lifeline during the time of the Crimson Blaze Ocean.

As for now…

He will have to wait until his next life.

With a stoic expression, Li Fan started picking candidates for this conscription from the Misthaven Sea Cultivators.

Indeed, the first to be conscripted when a war starts are the members of the Immortal Alliance System.

After all, if one enjoys the special privileges of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, it only stands to reason that they need to shoulder the corresponding responsibilities.

“Zhu Yongshou…”

“This man has spoken out of turn before. Include him.”

“Qi Yan. Hmm, I have no impression of him. Didn’t see him at the inauguration ceremony of Misthaven City reconstruction or the Immortal City foundation laying. Include him too.”

“Zhao Kuo, the Alliance of Thousands Immortals’ Misthaven Sea cultivator’s opinion feedback collector?”

Li Fan glanced over and paused slightly.

Having reincarnated in the Misthaven Sea numerous times and governed its affairs for a while now,

He had never had the fortune to meet with this person.

What happened to collecting opinions?

“If you don’t deserve death, then who does.” Li Fan with a stroke of the pen, included this person as well.



In no time, the Cultivator Conscription Roster that caused He Zhenghao and Gao Yuan immense worries was completed.

Generally speaking, Li Fan selected the cultivators’ names quite casually.

After all, in his eyes, even if one could escape the Celestial Spirit State War, they wouldn’t escape the Crimson Blaze Ocean.

The only difference was dying sooner or later.

The call-up order had already been stamped with the “Secret Character Divine Seal” he had specifically left behind before his closed-door cultivation.

Now, “Zhou Qingang” just needed to stamp and issue it.

Soon, “Zhou Qingang” had completed the final step.

“Every debt has its debtor. All these deeds have been done by Zhou Qingang, it has nothing to do with me, Li Fan.”

Li Fan didn’t feel any pressure in his heart.

“Daoist Zhou is truly efficient! Ha ha, it seems we need to trouble you again next time!” He Zhenghao’s voice of admiration came over quickly.

Li Fan gave a faint smile and politely acknowledged him.

At the bottom of the sea, within the Crystal Palace.

Just less than half a day later, Sima Changkong who had left to collect brewing materials returned hastily.

“Huh? Brother Sima, you’re back so quickly?” Li Fan asked, somewhat surprised.

“Oh, you misunderstand.”

Sima Changkong shook his head repeatedly, explaining, “Something urgent has come up which forced me to return early.”

“The Sky Blue Brew ingredients are difficult to collect, and I still haven’t had time to prepare them. I’m afraid you’ll have to wait a little bit longer if you want a good drink.” There was a hint of apology on his face.

“Not a problem!” Li Fan waved his hand, indicating that he didn’t mind.

“So what happened exactly, that made you so anxious, Brother Sima?” Li Fan asked curiously.

“Something serious appeared on the Tianlingzhou battlefield. My Blood Split Incarnation was unfortunately destroyed. So, I had to rush back here and create a new one.” Sima Changkong replied with a helpless expression.

“A serious occurrence?” Li Fan’s eyes narrowed slightly as he ushered Sima Changkong back into the Crystal Palace.

“Yes, I almost jumped when I saw it.” Sima Changkong seemed weary, probably due to having exerted all his energy to return.

But after only a short rest, he pulled out a black canister from somewhere.

He clasped his hands in a spell, shattering the canister.

In an instant, a large amount of blood gushed out from it.

It smelled strongly of fresh blood, as if it had just been drawn.

The blood wriggled in the air, slowly taking the form of a blurry human figure.

Sima Changkong didn’t avoid Li Fan’s gaze. He lightly touched his forehead with his right index finger, guiding out a drop of blood glowing with a seven-colored radiance.

He then merged it into the blood cluster in front of him.

It glowed faintly and soon after, a clone identical to Sima Changkong appeared before the two.

He put on a set of clothes for his clone, and after it bowed to the two men, it went away in the direction of the Tianlingzhou battlefield.

It was only after this that Sima Changkong let out a sigh of relief.

But he looked more weak, his face pallid, and he could hardly stand steady.

Seeing this, Li Fan quickly helped him sit down.

After a while, Sima Changkong finally recovered.

“How do you feel, Daoist Friend?” Instead of being eager to find out about the Tianlingzhou battlefield, Li Fan asked concernedly.

“I’m fine, I just need to rest for a while.” Sima Changkong shook his head weakly.

“That’s good to hear. I thought that this current body of yours was just a Blood Split Incarnation.”

“Ha ha, after cultivating the Bloodline Tome of our Sima Family, there is no longer such thing as a main body.” Sima Changkong laughed bitterly, “The only reason I returned here is that Misthaven Sea is the only place with my blood essence, allowing me to create a new incarnation.”

Upon hearing this, Li Fan understood.

However, he quickly frowned and said, “It seems that the process of creating your incarnation consumes a lot of your energy.”

“You’re right. That’s why I need to drink the Sky Blue Brew daily to make up for the deficiencies in my body.” Sima Changkong nodded.

“Ah! I’ve drunk so much of your Sky Blue Brew. Does it not…” Li Fan stomped his foot and sighed regretfully, acting as if he was feeling remorse.

“Ha ha, Brother Li, you don’t have to worry about it!” Sima Changkong comforted Li Fan instead.

“I’ve said this to you before. After cultivatng our Sima Family’s method from the ‘Blood History’, one’s lifespan becomes like that of a mortal.”

“Life is but a few decades. It goes by in a flash, passing in the blink of an eye.”

“Within such a short lifespan, being able to encounter a friend like you, Brother Li, I can die with no regrets.”

“So let’s drink to our hearts’ content while we can! You accompany me every day to drink heavily, I appreciate it so much that I barely have time to feel grateful, how could I ever blame you.” Sima Changkong explained.
