Mo Ran quickly pressed down on Luo Chuan's hand, which was about to retract the Cinie Treasure Magic Treasure. His face was plastered with a respectful and eager smile as he repeatedly cupped his hands and said, "Senior, please calm down. This junior had no intention of shirking responsibility!"
"With such a treasure in hand, let alone just entering the core of the alliance, I will do my utmost to create a flawless identity for you, senior! Leave this to me, and I will ensure that you smoothly enter the Cultivation Alliance without anyone noticing anything amiss!"
Mo Ran's gaze was fixed on the radiant Cinie Treasure treasure, his heart pounding wildly.
Cinie Treasure Treasures are rare treasures throughout the entire Cultivation Alliance Star Domain. Even elders of the alliance might not possess one. Yet this senior could casually take one out, revealing a terrifying level of status and wealth far beyond his imagination.
Clinging to this powerful figure right now is a thousand times wiser than seeking short-term gains.
Mo Ran dared not delay for a moment, immediately concealing his aura and bowing slightly to Luo Chuan: "Senior, please follow me. I will take you to the Alliance Envoy Treasure Tower. All matters concerning your identity can be settled there."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Ran raised his hand and summoned a small spirit boat that was entirely black and engraved with countless hidden runes. The spirit boat was only about ten feet long, but it emitted a spatial fluctuation that made people's hearts tremble. It was obviously a rare space-type flying magic weapon.
Mo Ran stepped onto the spirit boat first, respectfully extending his hand to guide Luo Chuan onto the boat. Then, he activated his spiritual power, and the spirit boat transformed into an almost invisible black light, breaking through the crowd above Bright Rose City and speeding towards the towering pagoda in the center of the city.
During the flight, Mo Ran cautiously explained, "Senior, the Alliance Envoy Treasure Tower is the only official outpost of the Cultivation Alliance on the Trade Star. It oversees the assessment of envoys throughout the entire star field, the appointment of their identities, and the permission to enter the core area. Ordinary cultivators would find it incredibly difficult to even get close."
"However, my cousin is the head of this treasure pavilion, holding the power to appoint temporary envoys and forge identities. With him involved, your identity will be absolutely secure and will not leave any flaws."
Luo Chuan stood on the spirit boat, his clothes fluttering without wind, his face still indifferent. Hearing this, he merely nodded slightly and said nothing more.
He knew perfectly well that Mo Ran's all-out assistance was simply because he coveted that Cinie Treasure magic treasure, which was exactly the result he wanted. Binding each other with mutual benefit was far more reliable than empty promises.
At this moment, Liu Mei is trapped in a predicament, and Long Panzi is watching her closely. He cannot waste a single second and must infiltrate the core of the alliance as quickly as possible to find Liu Mei's whereabouts.
The spirit boat arrived at the airspace where the Alliance Envoy Treasure Tower was located in less than half an incense stick's time after setting off.
From afar, the Alliance Envoy Treasure Tower is entirely forged from dark golden black iron, standing nine stories high. The tower is engraved with the runes of the Cultivation Alliance's guardian beast, and every line flows with a heavy spiritual pressure.
The building was surrounded by layers of restrictive light shields, with flowing, colorful light that isolated it from all outside prying eyes and noise.
The main gate of the treasure pavilion was carved from a thousand-year-old warm jade. On both sides stood two golden armored spirit general statues, each a hundred feet tall, with piercing eyes that seemed to scan the surroundings as if they were alive. If any cultivator dared to approach without permission, it would trigger the statues' violent attack.
The entire pavilion was solemn and majestic, exuding an unassailable official authority, which contrasted sharply with the bustling marketplace of Bright Rose City.
Mo Ran maneuvered the spirit boat to a stop a hundred meters away from the treasure pavilion, not daring to approach rashly. He immediately withdrew his spiritual power and led Luo Chuan slowly up the white jade steps leading to the treasure pavilion.
Just as they reached the gate, a sharp beam of azure light suddenly shot out from the ninth floor of the treasure tower.
Accompanied by a powerful aura of early-stage Sunie Realm cultivator, a middle-aged cultivator dressed in a black robe with gold patterns, representing the Alliance Envoy, stepped through the air.
This person bore a striking resemblance to Mo Ran, with an air of authority and arrogance that befitted a leader.
This person was Mo Ran's cousin, Mo Cang, the head of the Alliance Envoy Treasure Tower.
After landing, Mo Cang's gaze first swept over Mo Ran, his expression softening slightly, and he said, "Cousin, what brings you to my treasure pavilion today? You're usually so busy managing the Myriad Treasures Pavilion business that you don't even have time to come over for tea."
Mo Cang's tone carried a hint of familiarity between relatives, yet he still couldn't hide the arrogance of an alliance envoy.
As he spoke, Mo Cang's gaze unconsciously fell on Luo Chuan. His brows furrowed slightly as he looked Luo Chuan up and down. The young man before him had a restrained aura and seemed ordinary, yet he made Mo Cang feel a slight sense of apprehension. His tone suddenly became serious.
"And who is this? Judging from the unfathomable aura of the fellow Daoist beside you, he is definitely not an ordinary cultivator from the Trade Star. May I ask where you, cousin, have come to know such a person?"
Mo Ran quickly stepped forward, cupped his hands in a respectful greeting to Mo Cang, and then subtly gave him a meaningful look, lowering his voice to say:
"Cousin, this is a close friend of mine. He has profound cultivation, a heart devoted to the Great Dao, and is wholeheartedly dedicated to serving the Cultivation Alliance."
The reason I came here is to join the alliance, become an envoy, and do my part to protect the star field for the alliance.
"I know that you, my cousin, hold the power of assessment in the Treasure Pavilion. I hope that you will give this senior a chance to be assessed, even if it's just as a temporary envoy, he would be willing to do so."
Upon hearing this, Mo Cang's expression immediately turned serious. He knew in his heart that his cousin was shrewd and cunning, and would never plead for a stranger without a reason.
Not to mention the respectful address of "close friend and senior," this young man must be of extraordinary status, with hidden depths he is unaware of.
Mo Cang looked at Luo Chuan again, trying to probe his true cultivation level, but found that the other party seemed to be shrouded in an invisible mist. As soon as his divine sense approached, it was repelled by a subtle and domineering force, and he could not detect even the slightest trace of his aura.
Such methods are not something ordinary cultivators possess; even powerful cultivators at the Heavenly Human Realm level within the alliance might not be able to control them with such ease.
Mo Cang felt a chill run down his spine, instantly abandoning his previous arrogance and looking at Luo Chuan with more awe.
He knew that someone who could make Mo Ran over him so much and conceal their aura so well that he couldn't see through them was definitely not someone to be trifled with.
Moreover, the other party's desire to join the alliance as an envoy is not an unreasonable request. Going along with it and doing them a favor would only benefit oneself.
Mo Cang immediately withdrew his divine sense, cupped his hands slightly to Luo Chuan, and said in a tone several times more respectful, "Since you are my cousin's close friend and senior, and are willing to join my Cultivation Alliance and serve the alliance, then that would be most wonderful."
"Our alliance is currently seeking out the best talents in the world, and a highly skilled person like you, who keeps a low profile, is exactly what our alliance needs."
"Leave the assessment to me. There's no need for the usual tedious waiting. Senior, please follow me into the inner hall, and I will personally arrange the assessment for you. I will certainly not let you down."
