Disciples no longer discussed those dark events that had been exposed; after all, hearing about them often made them seem common place.
Instead, they began collecting and inquiring about the contents of past Immortal Alliance entrance exams.
They flexed their muscles and sharpened their palms, swearing to become members within the Immortal Alliance system.
A crisis that could have caused internal strife was quietly resolved like this.
Such clever means of resolution were so artful that, even half a month later, Li Fan couldn’t help but go over them again in his mind and sigh in secret.
"With a simple gesture, the crisis was dissolved into nothing."
"All that was needed was a mere announcement."
Li Fan praised sincerely in his heart.
After all, he couldn’t think of a better way to handle it himself.
"The entrance exam six months from now is so grand. How could I not partake and have a share of the spoils..."
"However, although this world has not been going on for long, the trajectory has already begun to deviate significantly. Those questions should have changed as well."
Thinking this way, information from previous entrance exam questions he had collected flashed through Li Fan’s mind.
"The more things change, the more they stay the same. Although it’s impossible to predict the exact questions, creating a rough range for the question bank is not difficult."
He casually took out a Blank Jade Scroll, and inside his Spirit Consciousness, the Transformation Crystal Body suddenly burst out with a beam of blue light.
Afterward, a vast amount of data crazily poured into the Jade Scroll.
It took the time it takes to drink a cup of tea to infuse it all.
"The upgraded Transformation Crystal has indeed become much more efficient. The computational power has more than doubled."
Li Fan’s finger traced over the surface of the glowing Jade Scroll, nodding his head in great satisfaction.
The advancement of the Transformation Crystal was not only thanks to his relentless integration during each Reincarnation at Yi Yin’s tomb.
In this trade, the low-grade Huadao Stone provided by the Five Elders Organization was also crucial.
Although it was of the same low grade, this one was far superior to that in Yi Yin’s tomb, almost close to the middle grade.
After devouring it, the one in Li Fan’s Spirit Consciousness immediately leaped to middle grade.
"It’s just a pity that the Five Elders Organization would only provide this one piece. They were even willing to offer more Heavenly Sovereign Creations but refused to give me more Huadao Stones."
"Could it be that they have a special use for them?"
Li Fan frowned in thought, then after a moment, he came to terms with it.
Although Heavenly Sovereign Creations are incomparably precious, they can be produced repeatedly. Compared to Huadao Stones that are used up once gone, it’s hard to say which one is more valuable.
"Hmm, the Immortal Alliance Entrance Exam Question Bank. This should allow me to exchange for some more with them."
"Whether it’s an opportunity to plant spies or choose to cause destruction, there’s much that can be done."
Li Fan started scheming inwardly.
"Shang Tianci!"
A moment later, he called out.
A figure flashed by, and Shang Tianci immediately scurried over to Li Fan.
With Lin Ling’s presence, the already brainwashed enthusiastic young man was now even more obedient to Li Fan, doing everything he could to prove himself.
Previous outings were no longer just for sightseeing trips. Instead, he quickly visited all the required sites and then hurried back without stopping.
It was fortunate that he could use the Heavenly Scenery Gourd for transportation; otherwise, traveling such long distances in such a short time would have probably exhausted him to death.
Despite his efforts, Tianyang’s arrival still gave him a tremendous sense of crisis.
Compared to the somewhat talkative, endlessly eager Shang Tianci, Lin Ling was more interested in the stoic Tianyang.
This made Shang Tianci extremely anxious. He had no choice but to take a roundabout approach to try to please Li Fan, hoping to salvage the situation.
"Senior, do you have any instructions for me?"
Li Fan threw the Jade Scroll in his hands over to him: "Make a hundred copies of this Jade Scroll first."
```
"Alright!" Thinking it wasn’t such a tough task, Shang Tianci immediately agreed.
However, as soon as he took it in his hands and carefully examined the content of the Jade Scroll, he first let out a painful cry and clutched his forehead.
Then, he exclaimed in a lost voice, "Senior, isn’t this too much?"
"If it wasn’t much, I would have carved it myself. Why would I need you?" Li Fan snorted coldly.
"Remember, it’s urgent. Give it to me within seven days."
Shang Tianci’s face soured as he looked at Li Fan’s serious expression; he didn’t dare to protest and gritted his teeth to get to work.
Li Fan, on the other hand, looked over the Spirit Tree Realm’s land, where Tree People were diligently laboring everywhere.
"Unfortunately, it’s clear that these Tree Man creations do not fall within the scope of the ’Immortal Formula’."
Compared to when Li Fan first entered the Spirit Tree Realm, these Tree People had made a significant leap in overall strength.
The most numerous group had grown from the Initial Stage of Energy Refining to equivalent to the Final Stage of Energy Refining in strength.
Tree People of the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core Stages also emerged explosively.
The Tree Man Female Clan Chief had gained the most.
She could already match an ordinary God Transforming cultivator on even grounds.
Such apparent progress was partly due to Shang Tianci’s continued transport of Xuan Huang miraculous sceneries.
More importantly, the treasures brought by the Five Elders Organization’s trade: [Heaven-drop Dew].
This item was the treasure that grounded the Ancient Divine Wood Sect, possessing effects for the plants between Heaven and Earth that were unparalleled by other treasures.
Although there was only one drop, the Spirit Tree’s size surged by half once again.
The tree canopy had already reached the sky and even seemed as though it would pierce the heavens.
With this transformation, Lin Ling was the greatest beneficiary.
She went from barely qualifying as Unity-Path combat strength when she was born, to now being firmly in the Realm of Unification, all in just a couple of months’ time.
Plus, considering the Leyline Ancient Tree elder was secretly taking care of her...
"It’s really enough to make one die of envy."
"Even aiming for the formation of the Gold Core is a considerable challenge for me."
At the same time, Li Fan could also faintly sense that, when resources were abundant to a certain extent, cultivating a cultivator with a certain level of combat power was also a very simple matter.
"The prominent families of the Immortal Alliance are certainly not as simple as they seem on the surface."
After pondering for a moment, Li Fan again focused his attention on the Tree People throughout the realm.
Their tasks were roughly divided into two parts.
One part was responsible for constructing the building complex of the [United Federation of All Realms].
The other Tree People were engaged in transporting and placing various materials in designated locations throughout the Spirit Tree Realm, making preparations for the [Array Refining].
So-called [Array Refining] is a method of refining magic treasures.
Aside from the conventional methods of fire refining and blood refining, there is this special method to completely refine a magic treasure.
It is often used by Array Masters.
Carving complex array techniques onto the treasure.
Not only can the treasure be completely claimed for one’s own use, but the array techniques can also amplify the inherent power of the treasure.
As Li Fan is not very proficient in the Way of Artifact Refining, it is naturally impossible for him to learn artifact refining from scratch just to refine a magic treasure.
However, as he owns a treasure like the Final Separation Disk, [Array Refining] is naturally the most suitable method.
Yet, after several transformations, the realm of Spirit Tree has become much wider than an ordinary Small World.
If one wants to refine it successfully, one has to take one’s time.
