My Simulated Road to Immortality

Chapter 751: Chapter 714: The Cold Weather Liaison Officer

Xu Bai did not immediately refuse.

Instead, he contemplated it for a while, his face reflecting his difficulty.

“What’s the matter, young friend? Do you have something hard to say?” Nangong Shirong asked.

“Not to hide anything from Elder Nangong. Actually, I am not a member of the Immortal Alliance, but an ancient sleeping cultivator…” Xu Bai truthfully told him about how he used the Celestial Spirit Flower to change his status to that of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals.

Nangong Shirong laughed heartily: “You don’t need to worry, I have already investigated these matters thoroughly. Including the Combination Path Level Jade Decree of Law Invocation, it has fallen into your hands, hasn’t it?”

Xu Bai looked shocked.

Nangong Shirong waved his hand to signal him not to be nervous.

“Although it’s not quite according to the process, no matter how you look at it, your identity as part of the Immortal Alliance has been recognized by the Tianxuan Mirror. So, there’s no problem!”

“Even monks from the Five Elders Organization can reform and join the Immortal Alliance. So why not ancient cultivators like you?”

“Besides, the incident with Wang Qiu Po has undeniably confirmed your loyalty to the Immortal Alliance! If it wasn’t for your alertness, I don’t know how many more spies he would have planted within our Immortal Alliance!”

Nangong Shirong snorted coldly, then looked at Xu Bai with a smile.

“Xu, my friend, I am short of manpower on my side, why don’t you come and give me a hand?”

“Don’t worry, with me here, no one will be able to attack you because of your past!”

With such words said, if Xu Bai didn’t agree, he would probably not be able to leave this room.

So, Xu Bai pretended to ponder for a while before gratefully saying to Nangong Shirong: “In that case, I thank you for your guidance, Elder!”

Upon receiving Xu Bai’s affirmative answer, Nangong Shirong burst out laughing again.

With his approval, Xu Bai’s process of joining the organization went extremely smoothly.

Even the test of the White Jade Heart-Asking Platform was merely a formality.

They simply asked a few harmless questions and hurriedly gave him the pass.

The position Xu Bai took was that of the [Liaison Officer of Tianliang State].

Directly responsible to the ruler of a state, the power is neither big nor small.

The decision relies solely on the words of the master of Tianliang City.

If Li Fan’s previous role as the [Secret Word Envoy] was to help the city lord in handling state affairs.

This Liaison Officer is responsible for the communication between Tianliang State and other states or the Immortal Alliance Headquarters.

The rulers of the states will inevitably arrange positions for their juniors due to certain factors.

However, to cover their tracks and avoid being too conspicuous, they often avoid placing them directly within their state, but instead assign them to other familiar states.

After accumulating enough qualifications over ten or twenty years, they are transferred back.

In this way, they can satisfy the public.

Even if the Immortal Alliance Headquarters conducts an investigation, it is completely in line with the procedural rules, and there is no room for criticism.

The primary responsibility of the Liaison Officer is to handle this matter.

Upon taking office, Li Fan’s first task was to face this situation.

After all, as is well known, there are many key positions now vacant in Tianliang State.

If Nangong Shirong, on his own, was to hog all the benefits, he should at least leave something for others, shouldn’t he?

There are simply too many forces trying to get a share of the pie, and how to balance everyone’s interests, while keeping everybody satisfied, is certainly not an easy task.

If he does it well, it’s within his job’s scope. If a mistake is made, Nangong Shirong can conveniently make Xu Bai the scapegoat to appease the public’s anger.

It’s indeed a cunning calculation on his part.

Facing the countless greeting cards arriving all at once, Xu Bai ignored them all.

He pretended to be on leave, concealed his whereabouts, and returned directly to the Valley of Eternal Life.

Nangong Shirong sent a message asking for him, Xu Bai just smiled faintly and replied: “Let them wait for a while. If there are any problems, the city lord can put all the blame on me!”

Nangong Shirong thought for a moment, said “Excellent” and then there was no more communication.

Xu Bai, who returned successfully, took out the [Fruit of Truth], and brought it into the Medicine King Cauldron.

The room where Jiang Yushan was sleeping was next to Liu San.

Xu Bai entered it smoothly.

Without altering too many memories, he simply changed the image of Liu Yihang in her memory to that of Li Fan.

As well as implying trust in “Liu Yihang”, he then invited Liu San in and woke her up in his presence.

Jiang Yushan’s eyelashes fluttered slightly, Liu San was very excited.

Xu Bai, however, quietly stepped back a bit.

As expected, when Jiang Yushan woke up, there was some confusion in her eyes.

However, her face quickly changed, and she sent a dark light towards Liu San’s location.

The dark light was like a sword, full of deadly force.

But Xu Bai faintly sensed from it a breath very similar to the Evergreen Vital Force, which was indeed a bit weird.

“Yu Shan, it’s me!” Liu San quickly blocked the dark light and cried out in a hurry.

Jiang Yushan paused slightly, then closed her eyes tightly to hide her murderous intent.

After a while, she opened her eyes again.

“What happened? Did we make it to the Leisure World?”

Unlike the soft and melodious voice of ordinary female cultivators, hers was hoarse and sharp as the sound of metal friction.

Liu San paid no attention and started explaining the details to Jiang Yushan.

“Back to the Xuanhuang World?”

“Thousands of years have passed?”

Even this female cultivator, who has stayed in the terrible Undefined Prison for a long time,

Was feeling lost at the sudden news of this absurdity.

“I want to go out and have a look!”

Apparently, she didn’t trust Liu San very much.

At Liu San’s signal, Xu Bai let her out of the Medicine King Cauldron.

Then Liu San took her around the current Xuanhuang World.

Not long after, she returned somewhat lost and confused.

“The reason why you instinctively attacked me just now is precisely because of the Great Calamity of ‘laws cannot be practiced together.'” Liu San took the initiative to find the reason for Jiang Yushan.

Jiang Yushan frowned slightly and said: “To prevent me from killing you, I’d better switch back to my original practice.”

Liu San waved his hands repeatedly: “No need. No need. Our sect is urgently in need of the Elixir of Immortality right now. Yu Shan, you are just the right person to help me with your Evergreen Vital Force.”

But Jiang Yushan firmly refused: “The Evergreen Vital Force that I practiced is probably different from that of your Medicine King Sect. The elixir I produce might cause murderous thoughts to spawn after ingestion.”

“You should find someone else!”

Upon hearing these words, Liu San’s face froze.

“Now, apart from me, only you still have the Scripture of World Salvation and Immortality.”

“The disaster of ‘laws cannot be practiced together’ is truly terrifying, I’m afraid that if it goes beyond three people, it will be difficult to control.”

Liu San stammered in his explanation.

Jiang Yushan’s eyes flashed a hint of cold light and Liu San stopped talking.

“Elder Jiang, please feel free to produce the elixir, even if there are some side effects, the present cultivators of the Immortal Alliance, I believe, will not mind.”

At the critical moment, it was Xu Bai who rescued Liu San from this predicament.
