第四百三十六章 密室布疑云

Li Fan scanned his storage ring.

Five thousand top-grade spirit stones neatly stacked inside, shimmering and captivating. Five million contribution points—this was the largest sum Li Fan had ever seen since his continuous reincarnations.

Even a complete waste of talent could reverse their fate with such a massive contribution point, potentially achieving at least the Transcendent Realm.

But Ji Fan only gave it a slight glance without any signs of excitement.

Taking out a spirit stone and playing with it in his hand, Li Fan casually said, "The quality is not bad!"

Holding such a huge fortune, he remained so calm.

It seemed genuine; was it because he wasn't concerned or had grown accustomed to it?

What kind of identity did this guy have?

A Five Elders Association cultivator scrutinizing Ji Fan from the opposite side pondered his demeanor and actions but decided to probe further.

He coldly said, "Boy, still so arrogant here? Aren’t you afraid we’ll kill you?"

Li Fan showed a nonchalant attitude. "Afraid! Afraid to death! Who doesn't fear death?"

He glanced provocatively at the other party, clearly not showing any fear,

"But I’m just an errand boy, with no life worth mentioning. Killing me won’t make a difference."

"And besides, I know you wouldn’t dare touch me."

Li Fan put away the spirit stone and sat upright, adopting a serious expression. "Oh? How so?" The Five Elders Association cultivator asked with interest.

"This is obvious! Someone who can spend five million contribution points to buy test questions must be someone of considerable means."

"It’s not worth it for such a small amount of contribution points to break their word and ruin their reputation."

"If I were killed, this round's test question could be obtained for free. But what about the next one? The one after that?"

"Can you guarantee finding another reliable trading partner like us?"

Hearing Li Fan’s words, the Five Elders Association cultivator gradually put away his playful demeanor and became serious.

"Moreover, besides the major exam questions, don’t you want anything else more confidential?"

Li Fan narrowed his eyes. "More confidential things?!"

The Five Elders Association cultivator was both surprised and delighted by this.

He hurriedly asked, "Like what?"

Li Fan hummed and didn't answer directly but vaguely said, "There are plenty of good things! As long as you can afford the price, whether you think of or not, we can get it for you!"

These words made his counterpart itch to know more.

But Li Fan suddenly stopped talking. Instead, he said, "However, I also understand the dangers involved in trading such items."

"So, we still need to proceed gradually based on specific circumstances."

"For now, don’t think too much; just complete this transaction first!"

Li Fan glanced at "Zhou Qingang" and the blurry figure of the Five Elders Association cultivator before becoming lazy again.

The Five Elders Association cultivator nodded slowly and stopped asking further.

Feeling the ten jade scrolls in his storage ring, he whispered to "Zhou Qingang," "Watch him. I’ll be right back!"

His tone was not amiable; clearly, Zhou Qingang’s intelligence failure this time annoyed him.

Li Fan's avatar slightly nodded. His eyes then filled with a murderous intent as he glared at the main body.

As the Five Elders Association cultivator prepared to leave, Li Fan suddenly added, "There are ten jade scrolls in the storage ring, all containing major exam questions."

"Each scroll also comes with an [Contract]. Only one person can view it."

"And its contents cannot be disclosed. You can only read the content after signing the contract."

"You should know the power of a [Contract]; I won’t say more," Li Fan said.

The Five Elders Association cultivator had long sensed that familiar force and knew Zhou Qingang mentioned that only ten people were aware of the questions.

So, he merely said, "Got it," before leaving the secret room.

Leaving Ji Fan’s main body and his avatar to face each other.

It seemed no surveillance was detected here, but Li Fan didn’t relax. He continued acting out the part.

The avatar of "Zhou Qingang" kept a tight watch on the main body without ever losing sight. The main body occasionally showed displeasure with an unfriendly glare in return.

In this way, time passed as Ji Fan practiced his acting skills.

Six days later, during the final afternoon of the major exam, the Five Elders Association cultivator finally re-entered.

Still concealing his appearance, but Ji Fan could sense a hint of excitement from him.

"Friend indeed has remarkable means. The seven-day test questions are spot-on."

"Praise! Praise!"

He sincerely said.

"Coming to do business naturally requires trust! Since you offered such a high price, it’s only fitting," Li Fan stood up and patted his body.

"Can I leave now?" he asked.

"Not so fast!" the Five Elders Association cultivator hurriedly stopped him.

"Hmm?" Li Fan's expression changed abruptly. Just as he was about to react, the other party explained,

"Thank you for staying here for such a long time; please accept this small token of appreciation," saying that, the Five Elders Association cultivator handed over a small vial.

"What is this…" Li Fan took it and used his spirit sense to discover nineteen Enlightenment Pills inside.

He made an thoughtful expression before looking at "Zhou Qingang" and the Five Elders Association cultivator again.

But he didn't say much, just laughed loudly,

"Interesting. It seems we’ll be seeing each other often."

"I'll take these!"

Li Fan put away the Enlightenment Pills, stepped out of the secret room, and left the Orchid Island.

"Zhou Qingang" feigned confusion as he asked, "What did he mean by that?"

The Five Elders Association cultivator coldly replied, turning to Li Fan's avatar. "Your intelligence collection work this time was a huge problem!"

"You were likely deceived by He Zhenghao all along; this person is far more complex than what meets the eye."

Li Fan’s face changed dramatically, looking bewildered: "Why say such things?"

"More than one party wanted to obtain test questions from the Immortal Alliance for the major exam,"

"But this time, the Immortal Alliance was extremely secretive. Previous channels had become ineffective, and only we succeeded."

"And the accuracy of the test questions is terrifyingly high..."

The Five Elders Association cultivator's tone was deep.

"Behind He Zhenghao, it’s not just Tian Yuhe Family."

"Is there such a thing?" Li Fan asked, clearly shocked.

The Five Elders Association cultivator glared at him, exasperated. "From the other party’s actions, they’ve done this before."
