The reason for taking up the position in Longyuan Immortal City is related to a rule established during the early years of the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering.
The Three Great Powers cannot interfere too deeply with the Immortal Assembly, only allying with it in name.
To compensate for their loss, the Three Great Independent Cultivators deliberately gave up part of the benefits of the Longyuan Immortal City.
The price was the Deputy City Lord position.
After some discussion, the Three Great Powers decided to appoint Huo Fang to the position of Deputy City Lord, to secure their share of the benefits.
These benefits are not just as simple as cultivation resources; more importantly, there's the aspect of "recruiting talents"!
Heroes rise from the grasslands, and brilliant individuals emerge from among the rogue cultivators.
From the numerous rogue cultivators, there always emerge some individuals with unique talents.
