My Simulated Road to Immortality

Chapter 585: 557

Li Fan showed no change of expression: “My friend, you jest.”

“I just heard you say that the newly appointed Secret Word Envoy is also called Li Fan.”

“If I were truly a spy for the Fifth Elder Club, why would I choose such a high-profile name and unnecessarily attract attention?”

Upon hearing this, Huang Ranqi felt there was some truth in Li Fan’s words and slightly nodded in agreement.

Li Fan continued: “I also heard that before joining the League, all cultivators are to be vetified. I am sure that with the exceptional methods of the Immortal Alliance, any impropriety on my part would be exposed on the spot. Then, you would be the hero who caught an infiltrating spy, a feat indeed.”

“So, what is there for you to worry about?”

After some thought, Huang Ranqi was finally persuaded by Li Fan.

He went ahead to apply for a Passage Talisman for Li Fan and returned.

Only then did he bring Li Fan, through the island’s Teleportation Array, to Misthaven Elysian City.

Looking at the city floating in the clouds before him, Li Fan showed a hint of surprise: “I heard that the Immortal Alliance’s base in the Misthaven Ocean is an island.”

“How come this place is a floating city instead?”

“That’s old news. If you’re interested, you can find out more after joining the alliance.” Huang Ranqi responded indifferently, not wanting to discuss further.

Consequently, Li Fan chose not to question further.

Soon, the duo arrived at the entrance to the Tianxuan Mirror.

“This is the Tianxuan Mirror…” Huang Ranqi began explaining to Li Fan.

Li Fan pretended to listen attentively, but his heart was tense, quietly operating the [One-Handed Sky Shrouding Technique] while getting ready to employ the [Real] escape technique if necessary.

From his previous life’s experience during the [Transcending Mortality, Crossing Aeons] phase, the refined [One-Handed Sky Shrouding Technique], capable of deceiving the perception of the Tianxuan Mirror, has been enhanced through several modifications amid Free Sky Alliance’s continuous struggles against the Mysterious Network.

In addition, the [True Spirit Mystic Transformation] deduced from the Yan Fajue Technique could thoroughly transform even one’s aura, destiny, flesh, consciousness, and Divine Soul.

He should be able to avoid the detection of the Tianxuan Mirror that he and the [Misthaven City’s Envoy of Secrets, Li Fan] are actually the same person.

However, nothing is absolute and he should still be careful.

With various thoughts flickering through his mind, Li Fan followed Huang Ranqi into the Tianxuan Mirror.

What relieved Li Fan was that his worries did not occur.

The Tianxuan Mirror did not recognize him as [Li Fan, the Secret Word Envoy of Misthaven City], but instead assigned him a new identity.

The recommendation reward Huang Ranqi received was also within the realm of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

So he harbored no suspicions towards Li Fan.

After a bit of small talk, Huang Ranqi bid his farewell and left.

As a result, Li Fan was once again recognized as a member of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals under his original identity.

“It seems my guess was right, the Tianxuan Fragmented Mirror created through the [empowerment] doesn’t hold a candle to the original in terms of power.”

“Although part of it might be because my [One-Handed Sky Shrouding Technique] is ahead of its time, it sure was too easy to infiltrate.”

“No wonder there are countless spies from the Fifth Elder Club within the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.”

Li Fan sighed inwardly.

On the day the Fifth Elder Club launched a surprise attack on Ten Thousand Immortals Island, the Tianxuan Mirror suddenly lost its function and turned into a stone.

This gave Li Fan an idea, and hence he decided to make a bold attempt this time.

Things turned out as he expected.

Without lingering in the Tianxuan Mirror, he spent his gift of contribution to purchase a Storage Ring.

Then, Li Fan arrived in Sky-spirit State through the Teleportation Array.

Rather than leaving Sky-spirit City, he quietly waited inside the city.

If Fifth Elder Club truly launches an attack on the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven, based on his past life experience, there should be Unity-Path cultivators falling in the brutal war.

The anomalies occurring after the demise of a Unity-Path cultivator could cover the whole province.

Then, Li Fan could confirm the occurrence of the event immediately.

Of course, to avoid arousing suspicion, Li Fan didn’t just wait around, he started wandering around in the shops of Sky-spirit City.

“Celestial Spirit Flower? Yes, yes, yes, there are! Friend, come see these.”

Upon hearing Li Fan’s request, the shopkeeper immediately turned very enthusiastic, eagerly pointing out a few of the Celestial Spirit Flowers in the shop for Li Fan to see.

Celestial Spirit Flower is a special product of Sky-spirit State.

The number of petals when the flower blooms varies.

After it blooms, each petal will display a special scene.

Either it could be blue mountain ranges, or vast rivers.

Or even snow falling from the sky.

A single flower gathers beautiful scenes from all over the world.

It’s as if it’s been blessed by the heavens, simply breathtaking to behold.

So, what’s the use of this flower?

Two words: useless.

Perhaps it can be said that the only use is for viewing pleasure.

But this flower has a short life cycle, after it blooms, it can usually only last for seven days.

Even if stored in a special wooden box, it can only last about a month.

What’s more troublesome is that the flower is very sensitive to all sorts of energies.

If it’s accidentally affected by spiritual energy fluctuations, or if it goes through spatial transmission.

The scenes on the petals will be impacted to a certain degree.

If it’s not too bad, the scenes will just become a bit blurry. But if it’s severe, the scenes on the petals will completely disappear.

Without the scenes on its petals, the Celestial Spirit Flower loses its viewing value and becomes worthless.

So cultivators who wish to see a Celestial Spirit Flower have to personally take a trip to Sky-spirit State.

Because of this, Celestial Spirit Flowers are rarely seen outside Sky-spirit State.

The Celestial Spirit Flower nearly went extinct during the Great War of Sky-spirit State in his previous life.

But at that time, everyone’s attention was on the epoch-making war, and nobody was willing to speculate about its price.

Only after the war was over and Sky-spirit State began to recover, did the Celestial Spirit Flower start to flourish again.

But at that time, the cultivators realized that perhaps due to the excessive bloodshed in its growth environment.

The scenes appearing on the petals of the Celestial Spirit Flower no longer depicted beautiful landscapes.

Instead, they showed horrifying scenes of cultivators slaughtering each other.

That spoilt the view.

People missed the breathtakingly beautiful Celestial Spirit Flower of the past, but the scenes appearing on the petals could not be controlled.

Transplanting it to other provinces would cause it to wither immediately.

From then on, the unique charm of Sky-spirit State was completely lost.

Cultivators felt regretful, but there was nothing they could do.

From then on, the Celestial Spirit Flower forever remained a legend in the world.

With the flash of a whimsy read from his previous life passing through his mind, Li Fan carefully selected a seventeen-petaled Celestial Spirit Flower in the shop.

“I’ll take this one.”

“Just one? Won’t you pick a few more?” The shopkeeper was slightly disappointed.

“No, just one is enough.” Li Fan said with a smile.

“Three hundred points of contribution.” Seeing this, the shopkeeper didn’t pester further and stated his price.

After Li Fan paid upfront, he carefully accepted the preserved wooden box handed over by the shopkeeper.

The Celestial Spirit Flower inside the wooden box was blooming magnificently.

After being specially treated, it could remain in bloom for about thirty days.
