Secret Room is full of mystery

Li Fan scanned his storage ring.

Five thousand standard Top-Grade Spirit Stones were neatly stacked inside, crystal clear and captivating.

Five million contribution points was the largest sum Li Fan had ever seen since his continuous Reincarnation and Rebirth.

Even a complete Trash, with the New Law's blessing, could use this enormous amount of contribution points to achieve Heaven-Defying change and reach at least the Transformation God Realm.

But Li Fan merely glanced at it, showing no excitement whatsoever.

Taking out a Spirit Stone and playing with it in his hand, Li Fan casually remarked, "The quality is good!"

With such a huge fortune in hand, yet he could remain so calm.

And it wasn't a pretense; he genuinely didn't care much, or perhaps he was simply accustomed to it?

What was this guy's true identity?

The Five Old Men Association Cultivator, who had been carefully observing Li Fan from the opposite side, felt a murmur in his heart as he watched Li Fan's demeanor and actions.

However, he decided to test him further.

He then said in a cold voice, "Kid, still so arrogant here? Aren't you afraid we'll kill you?"

Li Fan looked utterly nonchalant: "Afraid, extremely afraid! Who isn't afraid of death?"

He provocatively glanced at the other party, showing no sign of fear at all.

"But I'm just a runner, a worthless life. What good would killing me do?"

"Besides, I understand that you would never touch me."

Li Fan put away the Spirit Stone, sat upright, and adopted a serious expression.

"Oh? How so?" the Five Old Men Association Cultivator asked with interest.

"Isn't it obvious? Anyone who can spend five million contribution points to buy exam questions must be someone who isn't short on money."

"It's not worth it to go back on your word and ruin your reputation for such a small amount of contribution points."

"If you kill me, you might get the exam questions for this competition for free. But what about next time, or the time after that?"

"Can you guarantee that you'll still find a reliable trading partner like us?"

Hearing Li Fan's words, the Five Old Men Association Cultivator gradually put away his playful expression and became serious.

"Moreover, besides the entrance exam questions, don't you want other, more confidential things?"

Li Fan asked, narrowing his eyes.

"More confidential things?!" The Five Old Men Association Cultivator was instantly surprised and delighted upon hearing this.

He quickly asked, "Such as?"

Li Fan snorted, not answering, but vaguely said, "There are plenty of good things! As long as you can afford the price, anything you can think of, or can't think of, we can get for you!"

His words made the other party's heart itch.

But Li Fan suddenly stopped talking and instead said, "However, you also know the risks of trading these things."

"So, we'll gradually open up based on the specifics of our cooperation."

"Don't think too much for now; let's complete this transaction first!"

Li Fan glanced at "Zhou Qingang" and the Five Old Men Association Cultivator whose figure was blurred, and then became lazy again.

The Five Old Men Association Cultivator nodded slowly upon hearing this, no longer pressing the matter.

Feeling the ten Jade Slips in the storage ring, he transmitted a message to "Zhou Qingang": "You watch him here. I'll be right back!"

His tone was unfriendly, clearly indicating his dissatisfaction with Zhou Qingang's intelligence work failure this time.

Li Fan's Clone nodded slightly, then stared fiercely at his main body with Killing Intent in his eyes.

Just as the Five Old Men Association Cultivator was about to leave, Li Fan seemed to suddenly remember something and added, "There are ten Jade Slips in the ring, all inscribed with the exam questions."

"And a [Contract] is attached. It stipulates that one Jade Slip can only be viewed by one person."

"Furthermore, the content within cannot be spread. Only by signing the Contract can one read the Jade Slip's content."

"I'm sure you are aware of the Contract's effectiveness, so I won't say more."

The Five Old Men Association Cultivator had already sensed that familiar power from it, and "Zhou Qingang" had also mentioned earlier that the exam questions were limited to ten people.

So he wasn't surprised, merely saying a faint "Got it" before leaving the secret room.

Leaving Li Fan's main body and Clone in a standoff.

He didn't seem to detect any surveillance methods here, but Li Fan didn't relax his vigilance and continued to put on a full act.

The Clone, playing "Zhou Qingang," kept a close eye on the main body, never letting him out of sight.

And the main body would occasionally show displeasure, glaring back with an unfriendly expression.

Thus, time quietly passed as Li Fan practiced his acting.

In a flash, six days went by.

On the afternoon of the last day of the entrance exam, the same Five Old Men Association Cultivator finally walked in again.

His appearance was still concealed, but Li Fan could vaguely sense his excitement.

"Fellow Daoist's methods are truly extraordinary; the seven days of exam questions were accurate to the smallest detail."

"Impressive! Impressive!"

He said sincerely.

"When doing business, one must naturally uphold [Trust]! Since such a high price was set, it must be worth it!" Li Fan stood up and patted himself down.

"Can I leave now?" Li Fan asked.

"Wait!" the Five Old Men Association Cultivator quickly stopped him.

"Hm?" Li Fan's expression changed drastically, and he was about to flare up, but then he heard the other party explain.

"Thank you for staying here for so long, Fellow Daoist. Please accept this small item as a token of my appreciation." Saying this, the Five Old Men Association Cultivator handed over a small bottle.

"This is…" Li Fan took it, and with a sweep of his Divine Sense, he found it contained nineteen full enlightenment pills.

He put on a thoughtful expression, looking again at "Zhou Qingang" and the Five Old Men Association Cultivator.

However, he didn't say much more, but instead burst into laughter.

"Interesting, it seems we'll be seeing each other often in the future."

"I'll take the item!"

Li Fan put away the enlightenment pills, stepped out of the secret room, and left Youlan Island.

"Zhou Qingang" feigned a bit of confusion, asking in bewilderment, "What did he mean by that just now?"

The Five Old Men Association Cultivator snorted coldly, turning his head to stare at Li Fan's Clone: "Your intelligence gathering work this time has a big problem!"

"It's very likely that you've been deceived by He Zhenghao all along. This person is definitely not as simple as he appears on the surface."

Li Fan's face changed drastically, looking somewhat lost: "Why do you say that?"

"For this entrance exam, we weren't the only ones trying to get the exam questions from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance."

"But precisely this time, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance's confidentiality was extremely strict. Some previous channels lost their effectiveness, and only we succeeded."

"Moreover, the accuracy of the exam questions was frighteningly high…"

The Five Old Men Association Cultivator's tone was deep.

"He Zhenghao's background is probably not as simple as just the Tian Yu State's Heng Family."

"Is that so?" Li Fan was full of shock upon hearing this.

The Five Old Men Association Cultivator glared at him, looking as if he was disappointed.

"From that person's performance just now, it's clear that this isn't the first time they've done something like this."
