Other than the Taoist robe uniform and identity jade disc, there was also a special communication talisman.

The spirit symbol was round with intricate engravings around the edge, and a character was carved in the middle.

When his divine sense immersed in it, he felt like he was among the star sea.

Around him were countless faint stars, barely visible.

These were all members within the structure of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.

The image of He Zhenghao flashed across Li Fan’s spirit consciousness.

In an instant, he found the star that represented He Zhenghao among the countless stars.

Li Fan sent a friend request.

After a while, the dim star brightened.

It stood out in the dark sea of stars.

“Daoist, you work quickly! You have successfully joined? Congratulations!” The message alert from He Zhenghao instantly arrived.

“I should be thanking you, Daoist He!” Li Fan replied with a message.

There were no further replies, clearly, he was immersed in his research of the Array of Mountains and Rivers again.

Li Fan also sent friend requests to Chen Ying, Zhang Zhiliang, Gong Boyu, and others.

His divine sense then withdrew from the communication talisman.

Li Fan started to search and view noble tasks in the TianXuan Mirror.

Unlike the tasks to earn contribution points, the noble tasks were essentially directly issued by the officials of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

The task types varied from gathering resources to participating in the daily operations of the Immortal Alliance, everything was included.

There was a special kind of task that involved exposing Five Elders Organization spies or spies from other cultivation organizations that have infiltrated the Immortal Alliance.

The reward for such tasks varied depending on the position of the exposed spy.

Currently, Li Fan’s authority level was Yan One.

He just needed to complete any single noble task casually, and he would be promoted to Yan Two.

However, after accepting and completing a noble task, there was a limit on how many you could do.

You could only complete these tasks three times a year at most.

Li Fan didn’t rush to accept any.

Other than tasks, there were other ways to earn noble points.

For example, just like what He Zhenghao did before, recommending cultivators to join the Immortal Alliance.

Or providing valuable information.

There were no limits to these; all were welcomed and beneficial.

What interested Li Fan was that the noble points needed for an upgrade in authority level wasn’t a fixed value.

Instead, it was displayed as a progress bar.

This was because the TianXuan Mirror would adjust the value of the noble points in real time according to their live value.

For example, a task to hand over Crimson Cloud Ice existed perpetually.

After completing the task, you would consistently earn a lower-rank C noble point.

However, the value of Crimson Cloud Ice itself was fluctuating constantly.

Although generally, the value of these collected materials wouldn’t fluctuate too significantly.

But in the history of the Immortal Alliance, there were cases where the value of certain materials dropped dramatically.

This is why the TianXuan Mirror would adjust in real time, to keep things accurately controlled.

Li Fan’s attention concentrated on a task with a middle-rank C noble point as a reward.

A small progress bar suddenly appeared next to the task explanation.

A tiny number was displayed above the progress bar.

It read, one point forty-three.

This indicated that the middle-rank C noble point Li Fan could earn from this task was enough to raise his authority level by one rank and also increase his progress by 43 percent.

The Immortal Alliance’s authority level had a total of forty-nine ranks, reflecting the idea of the “Great Dao Fifty, Tian Yan Forty-Nine.”

The initial upgrades were easy, but they got more difficult the further up you went.

After understanding the operation mechanism of noble points and authority levels, Li Fan started to search for cultivation methods.

Immediately, Li Fan noticed the differences from before.

Some search results were prominently marked in gold.

This indicated that these cultivation methods could only be viewed by members within the structure of the Immortal Alliance.

Moreover, these methods could only be exchanged for personal cultivation and couldn’t be given to others.

If they were “lost” and learned by others,

Members of the Law Enforcement Hall would be responsible for their retrieval, and penalties would be enforced on the person who initially exchanged for them.

They would have some noble points deducted.

Li Fan carefully examined these restricted cultivation methods.

These golden characters had some portions in bright gold, representing the cultivation methods that Li Fan could exchange for with his current authority level.

And some portions were in a dark gold color.

These methods that were in dark gold required an authority level higher than Li Fan’s current level to exchange for.

Li Fan could only view their descriptions and couldn’t exchange for them.

Generally, you could view all search results within three authority levels higher than your own to motivate yourself.

Li Fan casually viewed a dark gold Golden Core Stage cultivation method.

“Geng Metal Sword Cultivation Method”.

It required 65,000 contribution points to exchange for and an authority level of Yan Three.

“Absorb the energy of Geng Metal to nourish the sword intent in the body. Can be used for sword flight and as a magic weapon to kill enemies.”

“Its power certainly surpasses all the methods I’ve seen before, and its price is much higher.”

Li Fan then viewed several other dark gold cultivation methods, and they were all the same.

“Yan Fajue deduces cultivation methods day and night, certain to produce many shocking divine skills.”

“Even compared with the secret skills of ancient sects, they won’t be much weaker.”

“Even if I can’t exchange for them, just looking at them broadens my horizons.”

“It’s a pity that my authority level isn’t enough.” “Authority, authority…”

Li Fan recalled the ways to earn noble points again.

An image of a person suddenly flashed through his mind.

The guardian of Taian Island, Zhou Qingang.

This man disappeared just before the arrival of Crimson Blaze Ocean in his last two lifetimes.

To Li Fan’s view, there were some suspicious details about this.

There were mainly two possibilities.

Firstly, Zhou Qingang had a backer, a huge backer.

In the tenth world, even the two God Transforming Immortal Monarchs on Ten Thousand Immortals Island didn’t notice the approach of the Crimson Blaze.

Yet Zhou Qingang did.

This suggested that Zhou Qingang’s backer was even more powerful than a God Transformation expert.

Was it the Unity Immortal Monarch?

To Li Fan’s view, this possibility was very unlikely.

Assuming that Zhou Qingang did have an Immortal Monarch as his backer, he could just leave in advance directly.

Why would he need to pretend to go out in search of opportunity as an excuse and find someone to substitute for him in guarding Taian Island?

So, the second possibility would be greatly increased.

Zhou Qingang was a spy from another organization infiltrated into the Immortal Alliance.

Li Fan believed that before the arrival of Crimson Blaze, the top experts of this world must have noticed something in advance.

Although he didn’t know why the Immortal Alliance Headquarters didn’t issue any warnings to the Ten Thousand Immortals Island in the Misthaven Ocean.

But other organizations should have picked up a few hints.

For example, the Wanhua Commercial Association had issued an order for all members to withdraw from the Misthaven Ocean before the disaster.

Zhou Qingang received the notice from within his organization and pretended to leave, moving away from the cloud sea.

Of course, this was just Li Fan’s speculation at this point.

If he wanted to confirm this, he would need to verify it.

If he was wrong, then so be it.

But if Zhou Qingang really was a spy, then Li Fan would strike it rich.

Not only would he earn a lot of noble points and contribution points.

More importantly, Li Fan wanted to find out how to deceive the Heart-Asking Platform from him..
