Wang Qiupo of Tianliang

An item capable of influencing, or even changing, the thoughts of a Dao Integration cultivator must be a treasure of the highest order.

After all, with Chang Sheng Tian Zun not manifesting, Dao Integration cultivators are at the very top of the Xuanhuang World's power structure.

Therefore, even though Li Fan has come into contact with countless secrets of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance since his Reincarnation, he still doesn't know if the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance possesses an item comparable to the real temptation fruit.

Thus, to resolve Jiang Yushan's hidden worries, he still needed to find the Five Old Men Association!

Fortunately, Li Fan had already thought of the bargaining chip for this transaction with the Five Old Men Association.

As for how to contact the Five Old Men Association…

During this period, Medicine King Sect Disciples were spread throughout the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, gathering intelligence.

According to Li Fan's requirements, and based on the previously known contact methods of the Five Old Men Association spies, a group of suspicious individuals was indeed identified.

After Li Fan reviewed the list of these Cultivators one by one, and combined it with the knowledge he had gained from previous lives, he finally confirmed the identity of one spy.

Tianliang Province, Wang Qiupo.

Although Wang Qiupo was only at the Golden Core Realm, he was already eight hundred years old.

Possessing a lifespan far exceeding that of ordinary Golden Core cultivators, he was now white-haired but still vibrant and showed no signs of aging.

Because he had lived for so long, all those from his Era who were still alive had already reached Soul Transformation or Dao Integration cultivation.

They held important positions throughout the Immortal Alliance.

As the saying goes, one respects the monk for the Buddha's sake. Even if Wang Qiupo didn't possess any great abilities, his connections were extensive.

Therefore, even the Tianliang City Lord was very polite to Wang Qiupo.

No one would have expected such a figure to actually be a spy for the Five Old Men Association.

This nail was buried too deep and for too long.

So much so that in the previous life, when Wang Qiupo perished and the Five Old Men Association publicly announced his identity, intending to mock the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance severely,

the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, for its own reputation, directly ordered the matter to be sealed.

Li Fan had also accidentally heard that there seemed to be a deeply hidden spy who had caused the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance to lose face, but he didn't know his specific name.

It was only in this life, by combining the abnormal actions of Wang Qiupo discovered by the Medicine King Sect Disciple with his knowledge from the previous life, that he deduced this.

“It seems Wang Qiupo's natural lifespan is not far off,” Xu Bai thought for a moment, then gracefully departed Chang Sheng Valley.

Entering the White Mist, not long after, he encountered a Puxian True Ark.

The other party didn't notice Xu Bai and flew straight towards the depths of the White Mist.

“More and more people are passing by; I wonder how long this place can remain hidden.”

A thought flashed through his mind, and Xu Bai left the White Mist, heading straight for Tianliang Province.

Tianliang Province is located northwest of Tianling State.

It is famous for being in autumn all year round.

It is said that the lingering murderous Qi from an ancient great battle, which has not dispersed for tens of thousands of years, caused all things to wither and be unable to grow normally, thus creating this peculiar phenomenon.

Wang Qiupo did not live in Tianliang City.

Instead, he lived in a thatched hut at the foot of Liangshan Mountain outside the city.

Although he lived in a secluded place, sycophants eager for his connections still came in an endless stream.

However, most were met with a closed door and left dejectedly.

When Xu Bai arrived, a long line had already formed in front of Wang Qiupo's door.

More than ten Cultivators were waiting.

Xu Bai's arrival immediately attracted their attention.

Some Cultivators even offered to swap queue positions with Xu Bai.

Xu Bai first thanked them for their kindness, then smiled and declined.

This action immediately earned him the goodwill of the Cultivators, who began to explain the situation there to Xu Bai.

“For some reason, Elder Wang has been in a really bad mood recently. He has already refused visits from one hundred Cultivators who came to see him.”

“Elder Wang has a strange temperament; no one can guess what he's thinking. But everyone won't give up easily; who knows if his mood will suddenly improve when it's their turn to visit? After all, there's a precedent for that!”

“Indeed. There was a young Foundation Establishment cultivator, originally unknown. After receiving Elder Wang's recommendation, he soared overnight and directly entered the Immortal Alliance system to hold office.”

…

Everyone was discussing animatedly.

And amidst Wang Qiupo's continuous shouts of “I won't see anyone,” the queue was constantly shortening.

The Cultivators who were sent away were either dejected or annoyed.

But no one dared to speak disrespectfully.

Otherwise, without Wang Qiupo needing to act, the other Cultivators waiting at the door would proactively take action to deal with them, just to curry favor.

Xu Bai remained expressionless, waiting patiently.

When it was finally his turn, he walked to the door and heard a slightly low voice from inside: “You brat, why have you come?”

Even though Xu Bai's cultivation was higher than Wang Qiupo's.

He still addressed him in that manner.

The Cultivators present were not surprised.

Xu Bai also didn't mind, but cupped his hands and said with a smile: “I have come for Senior…”

“To see you off!”

His voice, like a grand bell, echoed continuously at the foot of Liangshan Mountain.

All the Cultivators present were stunned. They stared blankly at Xu Bai, their eyes filled with disbelief.

As if they couldn't believe that such a good-looking person would utter such rude words.

Many Cultivators even showed expressions of annoyance.

“Oh no, this is going to completely enrage Elder Wang. We might not be able to see him for several months!”

However, the turn of events far exceeded everyone's expectations.

Inside the thatched hut, there was a deathly silence first.

Then, Wang Qiupo's hearty laughter came from within.

The door burst open, and Wang Qiupo abruptly stopped laughing: “Interesting, come in, brat. I want to see what makes you so bold!”

Xu Bai remained composed and slowly walked into the room.

Then the door closed again, completely isolating everything happening inside from the outside world.

“You certainly have a good appearance. Brat, you…” Wang Qiupo sized up Xu Bai, a hint of surprise appearing on his face.

Just as he was about to speak, Xu Bai interrupted him: “Do you know that your life is short?”

Wang Qiupo's eyes instantly narrowed: “You…”

“Do you want to die in a foreign land, or do you want to return to your roots?” Xu Bai asked again, ignoring the other party's reaction.

“!”

Wang Qiupo suddenly stood up from the rattan chair he was lying on, his movements so swift that he showed no signs of old age.

“Young man, what exactly do you mean?” He clutched a wooden crutch tightly in his right hand, pressing it against the ground. Dangerous light gleamed in his eyes.

“Where is your hometown? Worry-Free Paradise? Kingdom of Truth? Or Humanity Heaven Realm?” Xu Bai was also fearless, looking directly at the other party, speaking one word at a time.

In an instant, a violent Spiritual Qi gathered around him, and the wooden crutch in Wang Qiupo's hand emitted a green light.

It seemed he was already prepared to fight to the death.

At this moment, a single sentence from Xu Bai made him instantly change his mind.

“Do you want to go home?”

“Our Overturning Sky Society can help you.”

Xu Bai revealed a sincere smile.
