The appearance of the avatar Xiao Fan was completely different from the ordinary appearance of the avatar Lin Fan.

Li Fan deliberately crafted him to be eight feet tall, with sword-like eyebrows, fair skin, and exceptionally handsome.

“The more eye-catching, the better. Go claim the reward from Immortal Sage Jicheng, then lead everyone’s attention to Yuan Dao Province.”

“Let’s see if the monster looming over Yuan Dao Province is truly undetectable.”

The avatar Xiao Fan smiled and nodded.

Transforming into a blue light, he left the secret room.

Li Fan didn’t leave immediately.

Instead, he stayed in place for more than a month, until the time reached the 29th year anchor point, before leisurely returning to Tian Yu Province.

During this time, the avatar only did one thing: obtain a legitimate identity within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

After cultivating to the Golden Core stage, it wasn’t as easy as before to simply find someone for a referral to join the alliance.

After all, cultivation was arduous, and reaching the Foundation Establishment stage as a rogue cultivator was already extremely difficult.

Rogue cultivators reaching the Golden Core stage were rarely seen.

Although it wasn’t as rigorous as joining the established system, there were still inquiries and some test missions required.

Fortunately, Li Fan had already investigated the process in advance.

Although there were some twists and turns, he ultimately successfully joined the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

He also happened to meet Zhou Luo, the town guardian of Ju Yu City in Tian Yu Province.

Zhou Luo was a late-stage Nascent Soul, but because the avatar Xiao Fan was young and still a rogue cultivator, having reached the Golden Core stage, he was relatively polite towards the avatar.

After exchanging communication talismans, the avatar then used a teleportation array to first arrive at Tian Yu City for transit.

Then he headed straight to Tian Quan Province.

The location for participating in the reward for Immortal Sage Jicheng was there.

As the name implied, Tian Quan Province had a close connection with the word “authority.”

Many high-ranking cultivators in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance would set up industries and construct subworlds in this province.

Their relatives and subordinates often followed suit.

Therefore, the land prices in Tian Quan Province were skyrocketing, making every inch of land extremely valuable.

Unlike other provinces with vast wilderness, here in Tian Quan Province, as far as the eye could see, the vast province was covered with one private array after another, indicating habitation.

Those who could reside within Tian Quan City were the elites among the elites.

The Heavenly Extreme Court of Immortal Sage Jicheng was located in the heart of Tian Quan City.

Li Fan’s avatar stepped out of the teleportation array and quickly learned the location of the Heavenly Extreme Court.

At the entrance, two cultivators dressed in gray robes stood on either side of the door.

Surprisingly, both of them were Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

They had stern faces, exuding an aura that warned outsiders to stay away.

Upon hearing that Li Fan came to participate in the reward and possessed the Longevity Treasure, he immediately put on another extremely enthusiastic expression.

A glint of light swept across the door, confirming the avatar’s identity.

One of them immediately greeted, “So you’re Daoist Xiao Fan, please come in this way.”

Then, they led Li Fan into the Heavenly Extreme Court.

After several twists and turns, they arrived at a hall.

Inside, many cultivators had gathered, all focusing their gaze on a mirror hanging in the center of the hall.

Li Fan looked over and saw rows of names of cultivators and the Longevity treasures they offered written on it.

Amidst the discussions among the cultivators, Li Fan learned the reason.

It turned out that the commotion caused by this reward was too great. Besides attracting numerous cultivators to offer treasures, it also aroused dissatisfaction among some people.

They believed that the opportunity to use the Pearl of Derivation was the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance’s reward for Immortal Sage Jicheng’s hard work and achievements, a symbol of honor.

But now, Immortal Sage Jicheng, in order to save his life, actually chose to hand over this glory to others.

This was a blasphemy against the honor of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance!

Anyone with discerning eyes could see that this rhetoric was deliberately provocative.

Despite holding a high position as the commander of the Defense Hall for over five hundred years, Immortal Sage Jicheng inevitably accumulated many enemies.

Now that he was seriously injured and had resigned from his position as the commander, his lifespan was also nearing its end.

Those enemies naturally wanted to cause some trouble.

Although for the sake of the overall situation and the face of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, they wouldn’t openly start a fight.

But openly or secretly, they could still make things difficult for Immortal Sage Jicheng.

As a result, all sorts of rumors emerged almost overnight.

All stood on the side of righteousness, accusing Immortal Sage Jicheng.

The disturbance grew so large that eventually, rumors even spread outside, saying that due to pressure, Immortal Sage Jicheng had already internally designated the usage quotas of the three Pearl of Derivations to the juniors of other Immortal Sages in order to pacify the situation.

Many cultivators felt disillusioned with offering up their Longevity treasures, feeling like they were just dressing for someone else’s wedding.

Although the rumors were likely false, when they spread too much, some people would believe them.

Many cultivators started to have second thoughts.

At this moment, Immortal Sage Jicheng, who had been silent throughout the situation, finally spoke.

“The so-called internal designation is purely fictitious.”

“For fairness and justice, to gain people’s trust. The selection of Longevity treasures this time is not participated by the Heavenly Extreme Court, but displayed publicly through the Tianxuan Mirror to avoid any possibility of manipulation.”

Hearing that the Tianxuan Mirror directly assessed and ranked the treasures, the cultivators all calmed down.

Naturally, the Tianxuan Mirror would not be fake.

Immortal Sage Jicheng then made another promise. Even if the participating cultivators offering treasures didn’t make it to the top three,

he would still reward them at twice the market price.

With the personal promise of this old Immortal Sage, the cultivators participating in the reward finally increased again.

Seeing that the three-year deadline for the reward was approaching its end, they didn’t leave after offering up their Longevity treasures.

Instead, they stayed in the hall, keeping an eye on the rankings displayed on the Tianxuan Mirror.

Li Fan also looked at the rankings on the list. He couldn’t clearly see the name of the first cultivator, but he already knew the name of the treasure: Longevity Fruit, extending life for 500 years.

And the second place was far behind.

“Wan Yu, Green Wood Longevity Pill. It can extend life for 286 years.”

Seeing this, Li Fan couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

“I didn’t expect my Longevity Fruit to rank second. It’s truly lucky.”

As Li Fan continued to look down the list, he saw various Longevity treasures that he had never heard of before.

“Immortal Sage Jicheng has consumed too many Longevity treasures. Only these almost unique and difficult-to-replicate treasures are effective.”

Just as he was lost in thought,

Another cultivator entered the hall.

He paid no attention to the surrounding cultivators, walked straight to the center under the Tianxuan Mirror,

and took out a purple wooden box, slowly opening it.

“I have a Heaven Feather Pill, which can extend life for 800 years, offered to Immortal Sage Jicheng!”

Although his voice was soft, it sounded like thunder in everyone’s ears, causing them to stand up in surprise and scrutinize the newcomer.

Li Fan couldn’t help but also cast his gaze on the newcomer.

“Heaven Feather Pill? From Yuan Dao Province?”

“Wait, this person… seems a bit familiar.”

In an instant, Li Fan recognized the identity of this cultivator.

He was Han Yi, who, at the end of Year 16, won the first prize in the Cong Yun Sea, with an impressive contribution of 1.56 million.
