Chapter 462: Chapter 434: Seven-day Job Entry Exam
The image on the broken stone suddenly fell silent.
Li Fan did not rush, patiently waiting.
After a long time, the human-faced stone finally responded: “Found it! There’s something, very suitable for you!”
“Oh? What is it?” Li Fan seemed somewhat excited.
“[Heaven-Earth Devouring Grand Technique]!” The human-faced stone declared with a smug tone.
“Devouring heaven and earth?” Li Fan narrowed his eyes, puzzled. He racked his brain but could not find any related information in his memory.
The human-faced stone, however, did not intend to test Li Fan, and straightforwardly explained, “It’s a cultivation technique left by a notoriously infamous cultivator from an ancient time.”
“This fellow took a unique path, not absorbing the spiritual energy from heaven and earth, but specifically devouring spirit veins or leylines for cultivation.”
“Although his cultivation made rapid progress, he was unrestrained and reckless. In a short period, he caused depletion of spiritual energy and geological changes across several states.”
“Eventually discovered, his end was skinned and deboned, his soul scattered.”
“But his secret technique was retained after being interrogated.”
Li Fan thought for a moment, then speculated, “So you mean, using this [Heaven-Earth Devouring Grand Technique], I can secretly absorb the Leylines and Spirit Veins of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals?”
The human-faced stone nodded with a look of approval, “The outposts of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals, are mostly established over leylines.”
“As the guard of Taian Island, as long as you are careful and only absorb a little each time, you will surely go unnoticed.”
“And this ‘little’ from the leylines, for you, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, is already a significant supplement. Thus, you should be able to advance to the Golden Core Realm quickly.”
Li Fan was delighted and exclaimed, “You are truly wise and powerful!”
The stone-face gave a cold sneer, not appeased by Li Fan’s praises, ” You go and get the exam question from He Zhenghao first. Wait for the result, and confirm its correctness. We trade on the same night.”
“I will send someone specifically then. You just need to make the exchange.”
“He will also bring you the [Heaven-Earth Devouring Grand Technique].” Li Fan was not surprised by the decision of the stone-face.
After all, five million contributions were not a small sum. It was impossible to let Li Fan, who was a Foundation Establishment cultivator on surface to take charge entirely.
Therefore, he nodded his agreement.
“You can leave now,” The human-faced stone ordered.
“We’ve been meeting quite often lately, be careful on your way. At crucial moments, do not reveal anything.”
“Rest assured,” Li Fan patted his chest, assuring the stone.
After agreeing on their next meeting location, The stone gradually lost its luster, and disintegrated into dust.
“Absorbing the power of leylines for cultivation…” An idea suddenly came to Li Fan.
“If it can be utilized, the speed of my cultivation in this life will likely be even faster than expected.”
Disguised as Zhou Qingang, Li Fan quietly flew back to Taian Island.
His clone was hidden deep within the Taian Island’s protective array, with no fear of being discovered.
But to be safe, Li Fan decided to set up another layer of an array inside his secret cultivation chamber.
He also cast the secret technique, [Cover the Sky with One Hand], for an extra layer of concealment.
After doing all these, he took out a blank jade scroll from his storage ring.
Blue brilliance circulated in Li Fan’s spirit consciousness, as the exam questions he remembered from his previous life were all inscribed into the jade scroll.
The Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals’ entrance examination consisted of multiple subjects like [Governance], [Law], [Economy], [Martial], [Weapons], [Array], [Pill], [Talisman], etc.
The exams were hosted by various Governance Halls and assisted by the Martial Arts Battle Hall.
All exam candidates were required to participate in all subject tests.
After a comprehensive evaluation, some candidates would be chosen to be transferred to the Immortal Alliance’s headquarters or other important secret areas.
Then, based on the scores of the cultivators and their individual preferences, positions would be allocated.
The form of the examination was not limited to questioning like the Spirit Orb. For example, during the [Governance] exam, the candidates would be trapped in a real illusory realm similar to [Era].
Experiencing various changes, their understanding and loyalty would be tested.
For tests like Equipment, Array, Pill, and Talisman crafting, candidates needed to do practical operations on the spot in addition to theoretical exams.
Although the majority of the candidates who participated in the entrance examination were merely participating for the sake of it, the whole process was still time-consuming and energy-consuming.
However, cultivators were always enthusiastic about it, and the number of people signing up for the test increased each time.
Overall, for those who were concerned, the once-in-a-decade job entrance exam could be considered a grand event.
The exam questions for the first day and the rest were separately inscribed in two jade scrolls, and Li Fan exhaled a sigh of relief.
Li Fan had no intention of taking the exam himself.
After all, he could get into the Immortal Alliance System through many more convenient means.
Moreover, his main task in this life was to advance to the Nascent Soul Realm using the Five Elements Cave Heaven.
Joining the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals would restrict him, which was not conducive to his actions.
“There is another half a month’s time, just need to calmly wait.”
As Li Fan continued his cultivation, he thought about the possible changes in the future.
Time slowly passed.
During this period, to avoid exposure, Li Fan had invited He Zhenghao to Taian Island several times.
Sealing the array, they talked all night.
Li Fan, who knew He Zhenghao’s disposition, naturally got along well with him, and after a few times, he thought of “Zhou Qingang” as a confidant.
During their idle chat, He Zhenghao often bragged about being instructed by a “cultivator from the Ancient Sect of Heavenly Secrets”.
A successful investment changed his fate. After cultivating the Nascent Soul technique, he was soon to reach the Golden Core Realm.
Li Fan admired and flattered He Zhenghao on the surface, repeatedly pleading with him to think of himself when he came across an opportunity to get richer.
Unable to resist Li Fan’s persistent requests, He Zhenghao promised him.
Li Fan showcased a satisfied smile.
Apart from that, everything was calm and undisturbed in the Misthaven Ocean, and nothing unusual happened.
Soon, there were only three days left until the start of the entrance examination.
After another meeting with He Zhenghao, as He left,
Li Fan suddenly stood up, “It’s time.”
He quietly flew towards the location agreed on with the man in the broken stone.
Just like the previous steps, he located the contact point for this time.
After the verification was passed, the stone-face suddenly appeared.
“How did it go? Did you get the exam question?” The stone-face’s voice was charged with an unusual hint of anxiety and anticipation.
Li Fan was also unable to hide his excitement.
He nodding, took out the jade scroll inscribed with the first day’s exam questions, and placed it on the broken stone.
The yellow light enveloped the jade scroll, and the human face’s figure began to blur.
A moment later.
“Very good! Just wait here. In three days, there will be a resolution.”
Before Li Fan could respond, the stone-face vanished in eagerness.
The yellow light dimmed, but the broken stone didn’t shatter this time.
Looking at the broken stone, Li Fan’s eyes were filled with deep thoughts.
