Chapter 1224: Li Xianfan
Chapter 1224: Li Xianfan
November 4th, 2017
Blackwater Town, despite its name suggesting water and a town, was in reality a small gathering point spanning only a couple of square kilometers.
This gathering point was located in the eastern part of Liaodong Prefecture, one of the four counties under Lu Hai Kong's command, and it was the most remote outpost among them.
However, don't be fooled by its small size; its existence was of utmost importance to the Wanderers within a few hundred kilometers of its vicinity.
Within a radius of several hundred li in this scorched land, Blackwater Town was the only outpost that could provide them with water, supplies, weapons, equipment, and even item replenishment.
Without such an outpost, it would be challenging for Wanderers to stay and adventure in this scorched land for an extended period.
Of course, Lu Hai Kong wasn't a philanthropist; he didn't establish this outpost and send massive amounts of supplies to serve the Wanderers. While providing assistance to the Wanderers, the outpost also assigned various tasks to them.
Lu Hai Kong utilized the Wanderers' strength to collect resources from the leveling points in the scorched land and gather various talents spawned by the system.
Speaking of which, the reason Lu Hai Kong initially paid so much attention to the scorched land was entirely due to the special seeds that had a small chance of appearing at the leveling points, along with some lower-quality Purification and Good Land Tokens.
Initially, Lu Hai Kong allowed the House of Oddities to enter for these items, but what he didn't anticipate was the subsequent development that somewhat exceeded his expectations. The outpost, originally intended for resource collection, unexpectedly brought Lu Hai Kong astonishing profits.
In less than a year, Lu Hai Kong, through the outpost, earned several billion in gold from the Wanderers, elevating his interest in the outpost to a new level.
Naturally, while Lu Hai Kong was making a fortune, the Wanderers weren't getting the short end of the stick. Lu Hai Kong's outpost services also provided them with convenience, creating a harmonious and mutually beneficial situation for both parties.
However, the Wanderer community was inherently unstable and restless, and even in a harmonious and mutually beneficial situation, there were still factors of instability, especially considering the unique nature of the scorched land.
...
On this day, outside Blackwater Town, a youth in black, carrying a long sword on his back, strode towards the town.
Following this black-clad youth were three NPCs in tattered clothing, obediently trailing behind him.
This youth was named Li Xianfan, a well-known Wanderer with a formidable reputation. Possessing a strength value of 89, he seemed to have acquired a powerful sword technique inheritance, earning him the title of Little Sword Immortal.
Li Xianfan had been in Blackwater Town for two to three months, and almost everyone in town knew him. As he approached, the Wanderers nearby couldn't help but stop and gaze at him with reverence.
Their eyes widened with envy, jealousy, and resentment when they noticed the attributes of the three NPCs behind him, realizing that two of them had advanced talents, and one even possessed a top-tier talent.
This mixture of reverence and envious gazes pleased Li Xianfan, but he was a repressed individual. Despite feeling delighted inside, he maintained a stern expression, feigning a cool demeanor.
Amidst the Wanderers' attention, Li Xianfan led the three NPCs with advanced talents directly to the outpost's office.
Due to Li Xianfan's deliberate slow approach to show off, by the time he arrived at the office, the staff there already knew that he was bringing along a talented trio, and the office manager eagerly awaited his arrival.
As soon as Li Xianfan appeared, the manager greeted him with extreme enthusiasm.
After all, these were top-tier talents, a significant achievement for the manager, who couldn't help but be excited.
After confirming the talent levels of the three NPCs behind Li Xianfan, the manager's enthusiasm intensified, wishing to treat Li Xianfan like a revered father.
Li Xianfan, despite maintaining a cool and unmoved demeanor, was secretly thrilled on the inside, as he had intended this effect by moving at a slow pace.
After enjoying the manager's hospitality, which included slightly sycophantic greetings for over half an hour, Li Xianfan finally handed over the three talented individuals he had brought.
Then, accompanied by the outpost manager, he exchanged a legendary-rank sword called the Distinguishing Sword.
Li Xianfan had offered two advanced-talent individuals and one top-talent individual, earning him a substantial amount of contribution points. With these points, he exchanged a legendary-rank sword and still had enough left to obtain a beast-rank mount and other supplies.
After the exchange, Li Xianfan, carrying his newly acquired legendary sword and riding the beast mount, strutted around the outpost with a cool demeanor, flaunting his gains. Eventually, he left the outpost with long strides, continuing his adventure and leaving behind a trail of envious and jealous onlookers.

Li Xianfan's display of talent had inspired many wanderers to embark on the quest for the Shelter with newfound enthusiasm. Countless wanderers rushed out to find the Shelter, hoping to emulate Li Xianfan's success in finding top-tier talents and exchanging them for divine weapons, reaching the pinnacle of their lives.
Initially, this incident seemed like a typical lucky break, but it soon took an unexpected turn.
On the same day, the top-tier talent that the manager of the Blackwater Town outpost had received was immediately sent back to Lingzhi City.
Their efficiency was remarkable, and by the next day's noon, the person was delivered to Lingzhi City and placed in a specialized talent training base.
However, shortly after their arrival at the talent base, all three individuals encountered a terrifying issue.
That very night, these three individuals, who had been in good health, suddenly turned into undead within the talent base. This was an extremely alarming event.
Even with the vigilant guards at the talent base, fifty-two out of the one hundred and thirty talents in the base were infected and perished during the attack by the three undead individuals. Among the fifty-two, there was one top-tier talent.
One can only imagine the fury that Lu Hai Kong felt upon receiving this news.
