Ji Shiwen took out a golden flag and threw it on the ground.
In an instant, a circle of formations appeared on the soles of the three people's feet.
Chu Zongyi looked excited, while Li Fan's expression remained unchanged.
In the shining light of the magic circle, they all turned into streams of light, like meteors flying backwards, from Fangshi to the spiritual stone city in the sky.
In just a few breaths, the three of them had already stepped on the ground made of spiritual stones.
"Woo..." The concentration of the spiritual energy in the city in the sky has reached a shocking level. It is crazily poured into the body, causing the movement of the spiritual energy to be blocked. Chu Zongyi's face turned purple, like a mortal being stuck in the throat.
It's like I can't breathe.
It was Li Fan who slapped his back suddenly and saved him.
"Ahem..." Chu Zongyi, who had returned to normal, was still greedily absorbing the pure spiritual energy around him, with a look of wonder on his face.
When Ji Shiwen, who was leading the way, saw this, a trace of pride flashed in his eyes. But after seeing Li Fan's unwavering face, his expression instantly darkened.
Passing through the City of Spiritual Stones, Li Fan finally met the ancestor of the Ji family in a central garden.
Different from the expected old appearance, Ji Wangxian actually looks like a young man in his early twenties.
He has shoulder-length hair, handsome appearance, and stars shining in his eyes.
If Ji Shiwen hadn't bowed respectfully and shouted "I've met the ancestor", it would be difficult for Li Fan and Chu Zongyi to believe the identity of the "young monk" in front of them.
"It's you, want to see me?" Ji Wangxian asked softly.
Even if there was no deliberate pressure, the aura he inadvertently revealed made Li Fan feel suffocated.
Chu Zongyi nodded repeatedly and was about to tell the whole story.
But he was still stopped by Li Fan.
Looking at his biological father in this body, Li Fan said calmly: "Things are sealed. With this person here, it's hard to tell."
Ji Shiwen was furious: "You evildoer..."
Before the attack was complete, Ji Wangxian reached out to interrupt him.
Ji Wangxian chuckled: "You little kid is quite interesting. Shiwen, please step aside."
How could Ji Shiwen dare to disobey his ancestor's orders? His eyes showed the anger that he wanted to cut Li Fan into pieces. He bowed his head and left angrily.
"How about it? You can talk about it now." Ji Wangxian's smile faded.
Chu Zongyi's heart trembled, and he immediately told the story that the Tianjian Sect needed a large amount of [Taiyuan Fine Gold] to forge the World-Splitting Divine Weapon, and that whoever could solve the problem would be expected to be promoted to the next head.
"Senior Ji, with the strong strength of your Tianxia Chamber of Commerce, if you participate, your position as the leader is almost certain. After our Tianjian Sect leaves, all the fertile land within the 90,000 miles of Tianjian Mountain will belong to our seniors..."
Chu Zongyi persuaded him very hard.
Ji Wangxian was different from what he imagined and was completely indifferent.
Instead, he sighed: "Everyone in the world knows that the position of head of Tianjian Sect is just a vacant position. The real leader of Tianjian Sect is 'Big Brother' Situ Yao."
"Taiyuan fine gold is rare in the world and valuable. The world-splitting magic weapon..."
"Even with the financial resources of our World Chamber of Commerce, if we want to meet the needs of forging magic weapons, we will have to spend a lot of money. In exchange, we will get an empty title..."
Ji Wangxian suddenly looked at Li Fan: "Your name is... Ji Zhaoxuan, right? This is probably the first time you have returned home since you left home. You have come back from a thousand miles away, do you think this is feasible?"
Li Fan shook his head slightly: "It's not feasible."
Chu Zongyi was immediately shocked: "Junior Brother Ji..."
Li Fan continued: "But you can take a gamble."
Ji Wangxian's eyes suddenly burst into light, and he laughed loudly and said: "Okay, it looks a bit like me back then."
"You are right! The uncertainty of this matter is too high, and the risks are not proportional to the rewards. When the time comes, the Tianjian Sect will just slap its butt and walk away. We can't find the creditor even if we want to find it."
"But, you can indeed take a gamble!"
"The foundation of the ten sects of the Immortal Way. If our World Chamber of Commerce can annex it..." Ji Wangxian stood with his hands behind his hands, turned his head, looked into the distance, and said in an incomprehensible tone.
In an instant, things took a turn for the worse.
Chu Zongyi was overjoyed when he heard this.
With the ancestor's approval, things went smoothly beyond Li Fan's expectation.
In Ji Shiwen's disbelieving eyes, Li Fan and Chu Zongyi returned with three thousand kilograms of Taiyuan fine gold in stock from the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce.
And Ji Wangxian said that the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce will make every effort to purchase Taiyuan Fine Gold to support "Ji Zhaoxuan" in his bid for the position of head of the Tianjian Sect.
He was surprisingly generous and did not ask Li Fan to make any promises.
If Li Fan hadn't known about this body and had acted autonomously out of control, he would have been moved by this unconditional trust.
"It seems that the Ji family is really confident in their ability to control these spies sent to various sects." Li Fan sneered in his heart while thinking about a way to crack it.
Returning to Tianjian Sect, Li Fan handed over three thousand kilograms of Taiyuan fine gold and said that there would be a steady stream of follow-up arrivals in the future.
It immediately caused a sensation throughout the sect.
You must know that the total raised by the disciples during this period, plus the original sect inventory, is only more than a thousand kilograms.
Li Fan alone achieved more than three times the amount.
After presenting several bottles of good wine brought back from Ji's Mansion to Situ Yao, the elder brother of Tianjian Sect was even more happy. He praised Li Fan on the spot as a role model for the younger disciples of Tianjian Sect.
Thanks to Chu Zongyi's propaganda, the background of Li Fan's World Chamber of Commerce gradually spread.
For a time, the front door of Li Fan's residence was bustling with people, and there was an endless stream of brothers and sisters who came to visit and establish relationships.
Most of the monks of Tianjian Sect believe that Li Fan is a strong candidate for the next head.
And with the subsequent delivery of Taiyuan Fine Gold from the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce, everyone became more and more sure of their own judgment.
At this juncture, Li Fan quietly visited the current head of Tianjian Sect, Huo Yuzhu.
"Oh? Isn't this the pillar of our Tianjian Sect, the designated successor to the head? Why are you looking for me?" Huo Yuzhu smiled, but a trace of sarcasm flashed in his eyes.
Li Fan looked calm and said frankly: "I came here for the position of leader."
Huo Yuzhu's expression changed: "Junior, don't think that relying on..."
"Does Master Huo hope to give up his position to others? Even if it is a false position, the power of the master will still make people intoxicated."
Hearing that there was something in Li Fan's words, Huo Yuzhu's face was uncertain: "What do you mean?"
"I know a place with a large amount of Taiyuan fine gold. It is definitely more than what our Ji family can raise." Li Fan said solemnly.
"?" Huo Yuzhu looked at Li Fan in surprise, not understanding his intention.
"I want to exchange my position as the head of Tianjian Sect for complete freedom. I wonder if you can help me, head?" Li Fan asked with a smile.
