Chapter 280: First
Nie Tang has some friends in the Star Pope, but they are not too deep, so there is no need to go back to say goodbye.
After settling Nie Tang, Ji Fan teleported to the Star Palace station in the Forest of Life, and then went to the ancestral castle of the Changmei clan and met the old patriarch of the Changmei clan.
"I need to get a fruit of life as soon as possible, I wonder if my predecessors have any suggestions?"
Ji Fan didn't beat around the bush, and asked straight to the point after sitting down.
"This ......"
The old patriarch frowned slightly, and after a pause, he said, "Palace Master, it is very difficult to get the fruit of life now, no matter how many life crystals there are. ”
"Oh?
Ji Fan asked puzzled.
"Now that all the clans are subservient to a certain big clan of Tianchen Star, even if they have the fruit of life, they don't dare to take it out easily, once they take it out, they will definitely be taken away by the great power of Tianchen Star to which they belong. ”
The old patriarch explained, "Many races that previously had the fruit of life were generally used up at the beginning of their choice to surrender. ”
"There must be the fruit of life in the forest of life. ”
Ji Fan squinted his eyes and said: "You help me spread a message out, just say that there are monks who are willing to exchange two low-grade artifacts for a fruit of life, if anyone wants to exchange, they can bring the fruit of life to the ancestral castle of the Changmei clan to trade." ”
"Palace Master, even if there are monks who are willing to exchange, they will be worried that this is a scam, so they dare not come to our ancestral fort. ”
The old patriarch reminded: "The place and method of trading still need to be reconsidered. ”
"Then let the other party decide where and how to trade. ”
Ji Fan doesn't care about authenticity.
"But in this way, you may also be deceived, palace master. ”
The old patriarch reminded again: "Now that there are many strong people in the Forest of Life who have joined the Star Han Alliance, once the other party guesses that you want the fruit of life, they will definitely try to calculate you." ”
"The Xinghan Alliance has suffered a lot of losses in a row, they have suffered heavy losses, their vitality has been greatly damaged, and it is estimated that they will not dare to calculate me in a short time. ”
Ji Fan said with confidence: "Even if they really use this matter to calculate me, they won't get their wish." ”
"Since the palace master can ensure that nothing happens, I will arrange it. ”
The old patriarch didn't say anything more, saying too much would make it seem that he had no confidence in his palace master, which was a big taboo.
"Go ahead. ”
Ji Fan nodded.
This matter will definitely not have a result soon, Ji Fan doesn't have to stay here all the time, after agreeing with the old patriarch, he returned to the Star Palace station of Tianchen Star, once there is news from the Changmei Clan's side, naturally the Star Palace disciples stationed in the Forest of Life will come back to inform him.
Three days after returning to the Star Palace, several old people came to the Star Palace together.
These people are Du Yinqi, Le Bingying, Yin Xiange, Yin Xianjue, Qin Qiuwen, Fei Jun, and Qiu Wei, and they are here to join the Star Palace.
Ji Fan has a good relationship with Du Yinqi, Le Bingying and Yin Xiange, and he has only met Yin Xianjue once, but since Yin Xiange has left the Star Pope, Yin Xianjue must have a reason to leave.
As for whether Qin Qiuwen, Fei Jun, and Qiu Wei really joined the Star Palace, Ji Fan couldn't be sure, after all, his relationship with these three people was not very good before, but people had already come to vote, even if Ji Fan had doubts, he couldn't drive them away directly.
In fact, Ji Fan didn't doubt Fei Jun and Qiu Wei very much, they belonged to more direct people, but they were just a little impulsive.
Ji Fan was most suspicious of Qin Qiuwen, because he couldn't see through this person at all.
"Palace Master, I have to leave the Star Pope. ”
Du Yinyan said depressedly: "I didn't plan to leave the Star Pope, but after all, I used to be too close to you, and my stay in the Star Pope must be the object of suspicion, and it is really unpleasant to be stared at every day, so I found an excuse to sneak to you." ”
"I came with Du Yinqi, and I followed him wherever he went. ”
Even though Yin Xiange was next to her, Le Bingying still did not hide her heart.
"Lord Palace, my brother and I are actually even more reluctant to leave the Star Pope, after all, my father was the commander of the Divine Punishment Army, and my uncle has always been a high-level Star Pope, but when we know the truth of some things, we have no sense of belonging to the Star Pope. ”
Yin Xiange said with a frank face.
"You don't have to be so secretive. ”
Yin Xianjue followed: "Xian Ge's father, who is also my uncle, was killed by Bi Sen back then, and Bi Sen was eager to take over the position of the commander of the Divine Punishment Army, so he had evil intentions. And my father was killed in battle with the archbishop during the first invasion of the Kiye Emperor, and at that time he wanted to rescue the archbishop, and Bisen should have stepped forward, but Bisen chose to escape. ”
"Your Excellency the Palace Master, I know that Qiu Wei and I have had a holiday with you, but please believe that the two of us are sincere in our vote. ”
Fei Jun opened his mouth and said, "If the palace master doesn't believe it, the two of us can make an oath of allegiance." ”
"Yes. ”
Qiu Wei nodded.
"I'm willing to swear too. ”
To Ji Fan's surprise, Qin Qiuwen also echoed it.
"You are welcome at the Star Palace, but you don't have to swear allegiance, I'm sure you're all sincere. ”
Ji Fan said with a smile.
Of course, he can't let these people swear, it will seem that he is too narrow-minded, if he only lets Fei Jun, Qiu Wei and Qin Qiuwen swear, it will also make the other four people look embarrassed and embarrassed.
The oath of eternal allegiance cannot be made casually, and although it is reliable, it is tantamount to an irreversible contract of master and servant.
If any of these seven people have bad intentions, then it must also be determined that Ji Fan will not let everyone or someone swear an oath.
Ji Fan can not let these people swear, but among those who are not completely trusted by him, he will also send people to keep an eye on them.
Qiu Wei, Fei Jun, and Qin Qiuwen, who he didn't believe very much, had not reached the Star Emperor Realm in their cultivation, and it was difficult for them to make a difference under the watchful eye of the masters of the Star Palace.
After feasting these seven people, Ji Fan personally settled them, among which Yin Xiange and Le Bingying were sent to Zizhu Peak, and the other five male monks were all sent to Ma Changchi's side.
When arranging a place for Du Yinqian to live, he reminded: "Your Excellency the Palace Master, you have to be careful to watch out for Qin Qiuwen, I always feel that he is not really here to vote." ”
"I understand. ”
Ji Fan nodded, and said, "Are Fei Jun and Qiu Wei suspicious?"
"They and I, Yin Xiange, and Le Bingying have all grown up together since childhood, and they have been cultivated together by the Star Pope since they were very young, I still know these two people quite well, they belong to the kind of people who don't know how to hide their hearts, so they will compete with me before, and they will offend you directly, but they are definitely not bad people, at most they are narrow-minded. ”
Du Yinqian replied seriously.
"I'm also quite suspicious of Qin Qiuwen, so I'll arrange his residence very close to yours, so that you can help me keep an eye on him. ”
Ji Fan replied nonchalantly: "In the Star Palace, there must be many people who are already secretly loyal to the Star Han Alliance, and they don't care about one or a few more. ”
"If you can trust Yin Xianjue, in fact, you might as well focus on it, his age is not very large, he is only three or four years older than me, but he has already cultivated in the Star Emperor Realm, which proves that his qualifications in all aspects are very good. ”
Du Yinqian said again.
"Have you already been approved by Yin Xianjue?"
Ji Fan asked with interest.
"This ......"
Du Yinyan's face suddenly turned a little ruddy, and he said with a little embarrassment: "Not yet, but he didn't explicitly object to my pursuit of Yin Xiange." ”
"Although the absence of opposition does not mean that it is approved, it is better than opposition after all. ”
Ji Fan smiled and said: "Le Bingying also came, I don't think she will give up easily with you, you have to deal with it properly! You have already said that you have grown up together since childhood, and you can't hurt other girls too deeply." ”
"Alas, to be honest, I've always treated Le Bingying as a younger sister. ”
Du Yinyan sighed sadly.
"Before you, Nie Tang had already been invited into the Star Palace, and he was also living around here. ”
Ji Fan patted Du Yin's arm and said, "You guys get used to the new environment first, and if you have any needs, just ask." You are all geniuses with excellent qualifications, and it is very likely that you will stand alone for my Star Palace in the future, so don't let your cultivation stagnate because you are embarrassed to speak. ”
"Don't worry, I'm not going to be polite to you. ”
Du Yinqian replied.
After settling Du Yinqi and the others, Ji Fan gave Ma Changchi another serious advice before returning to his residence.
Another five days passed quickly, and finally news came from the Forest of Life, and the monks in the Forest of Life were willing to exchange the Fruit of Life for two low-grade artifacts.
After getting the news, Ji Fan naturally immediately took the teleportation circle to the Forest of Life and saw the old patriarch of the Changmei clan again.
"What did the other party say?"
As soon as he sat down in a luxurious living room in the ancestral castle of the Changmei clan, Ji Fan asked, "Where and in what way?"
"In order not to expose the palace master, I made up a reason, saying that one of our Changmei clan's powerhouses was injured because of the previous battle with the Death Alliance, so he needed the fruit of life to heal his injuries, and the other party asked our Changmei clan to only send a ninth-level powerhouse to trade with him. ”
The old patriarch replied, "The other party has set the place of the transaction at the Lying Silkworm Ridge, where the Forest of Life, the Desert of Death, and the Sea of Great Waves meet. ”
"Do you know what race the other party is from?"
Ji Fan asked again.
"The other party's cultivation is quite high, but he only used the sound transmission technique to inform a member of our Changmei clan's Star Realm clan, and my clansman didn't see the other party's appearance at all. ”
The old patriarch shook his head.
"Whether it's true or not, you have to go to Wo Silkworm Ridge. ”
Ji Fan immediately said: "I also ask the old patriarch to arrange for a trusted strong man in the clan to come with me." ”
"The other party said that we can only go to one ninth-level powerhouse of our Changmei clan, and we can't go to any more monks. ”
The old patriarch reminded.
"You just go and arrange it, I have my own measure. ”
Ji Fan Dao.
