Chapter 499 The Taste of Power

Li Fan simply explained to him the reconstruction of Congyunhai Fairy City and invited him to meet.

His tone was cordial, without any airs of an island master.

This made Gao Yuan feel flattered.

Having worked hard in Wanxian Island for most of his life, Gao Yuan knew that these so-called "deputies" and "deputies" were often more difficult to deal with than those who were officially appointed.

Although he didn't know why this famous Tianji Sect cultivator would choose him.

But he was currently his top direct superior and could not be neglected.

Gao Yuan quickly packed up and hurried to the place agreed by both parties.

As for defection...

That was just pure complaining.

It was impossible to defect, not to mention that the risk was so high, Gao Yuan was at least a member of the system in Wanxian League.

If he really defected to the Five Elders Association, would he be better off than now without any skills?

I'm afraid that after the valuable information in his brain was drained, he would be thrown aside and ignored from then on.

He is not that stupid.

Suppressing the messy thoughts in his mind, Gao Yuan thought about the reason why the new acting island master wanted to see him while rushing on the road.

After a long time, he finally reached the place where the two sides agreed to meet.

Tai'an Island.

The island protection formation was opened, revealing a passage, and Gao Yuan followed it and flew into the formation.

As far as the eye could see, the acting island master Li Fan was sitting in front.

However, Zhou Qingang, the garrison commander of Tai'an Island, stood aside stiffly, sweating profusely, and looked very nervous.

The two seemed to be talking about some sensitive topics, and suddenly stopped when they saw Gao Yuan coming.

Seeing this scene, Gao Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

The garrison commander of Tai'an Island was still one level higher than himself in terms of job grade.

He actually behaved so badly in front of Li Fan. It seems that this ancient Tianji cultivator is really not so easy to deal with.

Gao Yuan, who has seen countless people, immediately raised his heart and bowed to pay his respects.

"Meet the island master!"

"You are here." Li Fan looked at Gao Yuan and smiled kindly.

"Do you know why I asked you to come here?" Li Fan asked.

Gao Yuan murmured in his heart, but said: "I don't know."

"I heard that you were standing guard at the door of the government hall before?" After a moment of silence, when Gao Yuan felt a little uneasy, Li Fan asked.

"Reply to the island master, that's right." Although he knew that the other party was asking knowingly, Gao Yuan still asked respectfully.

"How long have you been in the job?"

"More than ninety-eight years."

"A hundred years have passed in a hurry. You have worked hard..."

"You have been in the job for a hundred years, and your position has not been transferred. Do you have any complaints in your heart?"

"I dare not." Gao Yuan's heart tightened, and he shook his head quickly to show his loyalty.

"Very good."

Li Fan nodded and praised, and then turned to the main topic.

"Every time a monk joins the system, he needs to pass the test of the white jade inquiry platform in the government hall. In daily affairs, he has to go to the government hall from time to time. I believe you have some understanding of the monks in the Congyunhai system, right?" Li Fan asked.

"I dare not say big words to the island master. But I still know the basic information." Gao Yuan raised his head slightly, looked at Li Fan, and then added: "At the very least, people can't admit mistakes. Moreover, which people have good tempers, which people have backstage backgrounds and can't be offended, these are all things I want to understand."

"In our line of work, the status is low. If you don't have eyes and offend people you shouldn't offend, there will be no good end."

"Well, come and help me see which of these monks are useful!" Li Fan ignored Gao Yuan's complaints, but waved his hand, and suddenly, like a group of stars, the dense monks' portraits appeared in front of Gao Yuan.

"Anyone who can be used?" Gao Yuan was a little stunned at first.

However, thinking of the great cause of rebuilding the fairy city that the island owner had mentioned to him before, his heart suddenly pounded.

"You also know that I just woke up not long ago, and I am not very familiar with the people in Congyunhai." Li Fan said quietly in front.

"I am also very nervous to take on this important task suddenly, for fear of messing up this matter."

"As the saying goes, if you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools. If you want to complete this task smoothly, you need to form a strong team."

"Since you know a little about them, you might as well help me with some advice."

"I will definitely not forget your contribution when the foundation of the fairy city is laid in the future!"

Gao Yuan felt his throat dry when he heard this.

Looking at the monks who he had to greet carefully in the past, they are now in front of him and he can still choose them.

In the past, he could only look up to them, but now, he can easily decide their fate.

As long as he said a few words, they would join the new island owner to build a team to achieve great things.

…

"Is this the taste of power?"

His heart suddenly beat violently.

His face turned red, and Gao Yuan, with a surging heart, couldn't help feeling a little dizzy.

But he was not blinded by the false glory for a while.

He knew clearly that the "power" in his hands was given to him by the island owner Li in front of him.

Before Congyun Fairy City was built, all of this was a castle in the air. It seemed beautiful, but if there was a slight mistake, it would collapse and cease to exist.

But...

If the Immortal City is successfully built, power will have a chance to become real.

This feeling of being able to manipulate fate at will is so wonderful that Gao Yuan, who has just tasted it, can't stop.

So he secretly vowed in his heart that he must do his best to seize this rare opportunity and complete the transformation of his career.

At this moment, according to the list of monks, one by one, he introduced them to Li Fan in detail.

Time passed slowly.

Li Fan listened to Gao Yuan's story tirelessly, and was surprised again and again.

The ability of this gatekeeper monk who he accidentally met during his joining the Ten Thousand Immortals League in his previous life was really beyond his expectations.

He couldn't help but know the basic information of each monk, and even their temperament and the complex relationships that may exist behind them.

"I really dug up a treasure."

As Gao Yuan introduced in depth, Li Fan was more satisfied with him.

"Little people also have their uses."

"This is where I can take the opportunity to break the deadlock."

One by one, suitable monks were selected by Li Fan and remembered in his heart.

...

Half a month later

All the surviving monks in Congyunhai have received the message from the acting island master.

Seven days later, the reconstruction ceremony of Congyun Immortal City will be held at the original location of Wanxian Island.

All personnel must attend on time.
