One expedition team after another began to search for the whereabouts of the ruins, flying in the direction it had been located.

Li Fan remained hibernating within the Tianxuan Mirror, quietly awaiting the results.

Three months later, there was still no significant progress in the exploration of the ruins.

However, He Zhenghao was the first to excitedly send news.

“Daoist Li Fan, I have good news.”

“After several operations, I have secured three possible positions, each in different provinces.”

“I request your advice, Daoist.”

Li Fan immediately replied, “Oh? Let’s hear it.”

“The first one, the team lead of the Taihua Province Martial Arts Hall.”

“Taihua Province is not far from the Misthaven Ocean. Within the province, the Taihua Mountain Range stretches across the territory, also known as the province on the mountaintop.”

“The mountains are innumerable. The cultivation speed here would be faster than that in the Misthaven Ocean.”

“The second one, counselor in the Qingwei Province Strategy Hall.”

“Qingwei Province is south of Tianyu Province. Although still a great distance away, it is considerably closer to the Misthaven Ocean.”

“The third one, defender of the Tianyun State.”

“This Tianyun State is not far to the west of Tianyu Province. The competition for positions is intense.”

“The transfer would simply be a lateral move to a city defender position.”

“The benefit is that it’s closer to the headquarters of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, making promotion easier compared to other locations.”

He Zhenghao slowly relayed his efforts over this period.

“Tianyun State…”

Li Fan contemplated for a moment before responding, “Let’s not rush this decision. I have a well-acquainted cultivator in Tianyun State, who can gather further information for you.”

Upon hearing this, He Zhenghao was quite surprised, “Daoist, you even have contacts in Tianyun State?”

“Heh heh, I can’t guarantee anything. But let’s give it a try. Wait for my news,” replied Li Fan casually.

He Zhenghao immediately agreed.

Then, Li Fan contacted Oracle Son and explained the situation.

“Do you have any contacts, senior?”

Oracle Son merely replied, “I’ll ask around for you.”

And then, there was no more response.

Li Fan wasn’t in a hurry; he waited patiently.

Half a day later, a cultivator named Jingxuan Taoist requested to add Li Fan as a friend.

He also hailed from Tianyun State.

A thought struck Li Fan, and he quickly accepted.

Jingxuan’s hearty voice rang out.

“Hahaha, it’s the young friend Li Fan, isn’t it? I heard from Oracle Son that you have a good friend who is interested in taking up a position in our Tianyun State?”

“Four-Law Golden Dan, tsk tsk, the young generation is truly formidable.”

“In that case, ask him if he’s interested in joining our Defense Institute in Tianyun State.”

“Hehe, because of the big battle a few years ago, there are still some vacant positions that have yet to be filled.”

Upon hearing this, Li Fan was slightly startled and couldn’t help but ask, “Jingxuan senior, what is this Defense Institute…?”

Jingxuan was also taken aback.

He hadn’t expected that Li Fan wouldn’t even know what a Defense Institute is.

Realizing that Li Fan was from a remote region, he was quick to explain, “The Defense Institute is an organization unique to the interior regions of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.”

“It directly reports to the Alliance headquarters, with the chief duties of quelling troublemakers and maintaining stability.”

“In urgent situations, it will respond to emergency mobilization orders to combat in other provinces.”

With Jingxuan’s explanation, Li Fan now understood.

Essentially, it was similar to that defense camp in Da Xuan, stationed outside Xuanjing City, which only obeyed Li Fan’s orders and ensured the city’s safety.

“This should be considered an important position.”

“However, it seems that frequent battles are to be expected. I’m not sure whether He Zhenghao, as he is now, would be willing.”

After pondering for a moment, Li Fan greeted Jingxuan and then contacted He Zhenghao to update him about the situation.

“Defense Institute?” He Zhenghao was truly shocked this time.

Having spent some time in Tianyu State in his youth, he of course knew of the Defense Institute.

Like the Law Enforcement Hall, it was an organization directly subjugating to the Alliance’s headquarters.

Generally, members of the Defense Institute held a slightly higher status than other local cultivators,

Only under the Law Enforcement Hall.

“Daoist Li Fan is truly unfathomable, actually being able to arrange this position.”

“Although a bit risky, but…”

A beautiful figure suddenly emerged in He Zhenghao’s spirit consciousness.

He gritted his teeth and agreed.

Upon receiving He Zhenghao’s decision, Li Fan passed the information back to Jingxuan Taoist.

“Good!” Jingxuan was very pleased.

“Ask your friend to come to our Tianyun State first and serve as a city defender.”

“After working for three full years and accumulating some experience, I will pull some strings and have him transferred to the Defense Institute.”

Next, Jing Xuan meticulously explained some precautions before severing the communication with them.

Li Fan relayed every single word to He Zhenghao.

After He Zhenghao listened carefully, he hurriedly busy himself with his future career.

Li Fan paused for a moment in the silence, and though the matter had not yet been resolved.

He still sent a hundred thousand contribution points each to the Oracle Son and Jing Xuan as a token of thanks.

Of course, he put this debt on He Zhenghao’s tab.

…

Tianyun State.

The Oracle Son, receiving the contribution points, was momentarily stunned before bursting into a hearty laugh.

Immediately afterward, Jing Xuan sent a message asking, “Old Shaman, have you received the transferred contribution points from Li? A hundred thousand contribution points! I remember him just being at the Foundation Establishment Stage, isn’t it? He is quite generous!”

The Oracle Son laughed and replied, “Anyway, he’s way more generous than us when we were at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

“I just mediated the conversation and pocketed the same reward as you. You don’t mind, do you, Jing Xuan?”

Jing Xuan laughed out loud, “Hahaha, equal treatment for all. This kid is interesting.”

“Impressive, really impressive. I find him much more agreeable than old Guang Wu.”

“If you take a favor from someone, you should work at it. Don’t mess it up; you might not care, but if my Oracle Son’s reputation is tarnished, haha…”

“Mess it up? Who are you looking down upon?” Jing Xuan sniffed and then fell silent.

…

Time elapsed.

Three months later, He Zhenghao’s official appointment was announced.

Without any hindrance.

The Defender of Guang’an City in Tianyun State.

For this, he had spent a total of eighty thousand contribution points.

Of course, he borrowed it from Li Fan.

He Zhenghao was not burdened by his debt, not in the slightest.

Li Fan was generous too. He lent whatever amount that was asked.

Before he left, He Zhenghao made a solemn vow.

Once he settled down in Tianyun State, he would try to facilitate transferring Li Fan over too.

Li Fan didn’t say anything, just patted He Zhenghao on the shoulder.

After He Zhenghao departed, Li Fan holed up inside the Tianxuan Mirror, refraining from leaving it, and diligently continued his cultivation.

Time quickly moved on, and the year of Locking 23 arrived.

Finally, someone found that ascending relic.

It had landed in a thousand-li swamp in the middle of Jiushan Province.

As the cultivators began their exploration, the backstory of this relic was discovered as well.

The ancient immortal sect, Chaoyuan Sect.

Although not as renowned as the Great Taoist Sect, whose prestige still resonated after thousands of years.

But before the Great Calamity arrived, it was a famous and substantial sect.

According to past experiences in exploring sect ruins, this place is definitely a treasure trove.

The message was sent out, immediately attracting many cultivators to embark on an adventure in Jiushan Province.

The originally chaotic Jiushan Province now stirred even more.

Even a Five Elders’ Monk, casually disguised himself and brazenly mixed in this crowd trying to explore the ruins.

Their arrogance was clearly seen.

The weak control exerted by the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals over Jiushan Province was also evident.

The original plan was just a regular expedition of relics, and the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals did not intend to intervene too much.

But at this moment, a piece of news came making the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals extremely furious.

A God Transforming cultivator from the Five Elders Organization named Luo Xi not only did not hide his identity but even abused his high cultivation level to hurt and kill many members of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals during the relic exploration.

After obtaining some sort of treasure from deep within the ruins, he swaggered away.

How dare he be so arrogant on my turf?

It was simply a slap in the face.

However, this gave rise to some doubts.

Such actions had an obvious intention to provoke.

Could there possibly be a conspiracy?

Does the Five Elders Organization want to reignite the war again?

No matter what, the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals couldn’t lose face.

The Alliance of Thousands of Immortals swiftly dispatched several God Transforming cultivators to Jiushan Province to reinforce their influence.

And also sent out a serious warning.

They forbade all monks from the Five Elders Organization to set foot in Jiushan Province.

If they dared to, they would die!
