Chapter 212: The Aftermath Changes the World
In the Bone Hand Pioneer Realm, Li Fan, who holds the highest authority, nodded secretly at Ye Feipeng, who was inexplicably excited, and Xiao Heng, who was also very happy.
"After acting with these guys for so long, it's finally about time."
"If nothing unexpected happens in the future, I can just sit back and reap the investment returns without having to worry about anything."
In order to make his fabricated lies look as real as possible, Li Fan took great pains and spent a lot of money.
Including but not limited to: a necklace that integrates a communication array and a ritual solidification array.
A communication transmission array disguised as an altar.
A puppet with foundation-building cultivation.
A phantom stone that forged the image of a cultivator's fall.
And so on.
And the reason why this world went through so much trouble, renting and transforming the Pioneer Realm, and fabricating a fictitious true immortal past.
Li Fan naturally had his considerations.
First, if he directly funded their skills as a cultivator, it would be fine at the beginning, because the geniuses were young and would not have many ideas.
But as they grow older and learn about the preciousness of the skills, they will inevitably have doubts and suspect that there may be some conspiracy behind it. Once there is a gap in their hearts, it is easy to have many twists and turns in life.
Disguised as a half-fallen ancient cultivator, the gift of skills is disguised as the adventure of the geniuses themselves.
There is no such concern.
Second, after the establishment of the [Re-Immortality] organization, he can be a hands-off shopkeeper.
No need to work hard to find people with extraordinary talents to invest in.
The so-called geniuses attract each other.
Xiao Heng, Su Xiaomei and other geniuses will most likely meet some talented companions in the process of growing up and traveling.
Li Fan doesn't have to worry about it at all, and there will be more and more members of Re-Immortality.
In addition to letting the geniuses go and practicing with peace of mind, you can also enjoy the return on investment brought by the expansion of Re-Immortality.
It's really wonderful.
Third, the background of [Re-Immortality], which is an organization that is hostile to the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, will naturally put a layer of pressure on Xiao Heng and others.
There is motivation only when there is pressure.
Only then can their cultivation talents be squeezed to the extreme.
Only then can Li Fan recover the investment cost faster.
Li Fan can clearly remember that before, Xiao Heng had no pressure, but he had not been able to eliminate the miasma in his body for more than ten years.
But in this life, under the pressure of being stranded on a deserted island and "bearing the heavy responsibility of revenge", he spontaneously began to practice on the second day after obtaining the "Dinghai Divine Sword" technique.
The gap between the two is too big.
As for whether this small [Fuxian] organization will attract the attention of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance...
When Li Fan disguised himself as a skull, he had already explained to Xiao Heng.
The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is powerful, and currently it is mainly focused on developing and strengthening its own strength.
Before practicing to the Nascent Soul Realm, do not directly conflict with the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
Even if Xiao Heng is a genius, it will take many years to practice to the Nascent Soul Realm.
I am afraid that Li Fan will not see it in this life.
...
In short, the seeds have been planted. Now we just need to wait for the Tianjiao of the Outer Realm to grow up and reap the fruits.
After two months of hard work, when Li Fan returned to Wanxian Island, it was already the 10th year of anchoring.
Although practicing the Mountain Sitting Technique can [sit back and enjoy the fruits of others’ labor], Li Fan is not the kind of person who relies on others for everything.
He did not fall behind in his own practice.
Li Fan spent the entire 10 years of anchoring in hard closed-door practice.
The awakening state never stops, and only one year is equivalent to 20 years of hard practice for ordinary cultivators.
And on this day, a very rich feedback of cultivation suddenly appeared in Li Fan’s Dantian out of thin air.
It woke him up from his practice.
The amount of this cultivation is equivalent to three or four years of hard practice in his normal state.
Unexpectedly, the first feedback of cultivation came so quickly, Li Fan couldn’t help but feel a little surprised, and immediately checked it.
After careful feeling, what Li Fan didn’t expect was that the first large amount of cultivation feedback of the Mountain Sitting Technique did not come from the people outside the world.
But from He Zhenghao!
Just now, he successfully broke through from the middle stage of foundation building to the late stage of foundation building.
"Fellow Daoist He has accumulated a lot of experience and has broken through so quickly."
"It seems that his statement that he will definitely achieve the golden elixir within fifty years is not a false statement."
At this time, Li Fan also received the good news from He Zhenghao.
Li Fan exempted him from the interest he had to pay this year as a sign of encouragement.
Let him continue to work hard to practice and strive to achieve the golden elixir as soon as possible.
Then he checked the missed messages during the retreat.
Zhang Zhiliang's research on the Mountain and River Array is almost coming to an end.
He sent a message to ask Li Fan how his self-study of the knowledge of the formation is going.
When he comes back, he will test Li Fan.
This is naturally not difficult for Li Fan, who has been studying the formation under Zhang Zhiliang for more than ten years in his previous life.
So Li Fan was not worried.
Next, among a bunch of irrelevant greeting messages, a message from Jiang Zhengji of the Martial Arts Hall aroused Li Fan's interest.
He asked Li Fan if he had seen a late-stage foundation cultivator recently.
Obviously the message was sent to a group, but Li Fan knew this foundation-building master.
It was the foundation-building master who had also sneaked in from the mortal world in the twelfth generation.
Li Fan asked Jiang Zhengji about it and found out what was going on.
It turned out that not long ago, this foundation-building master who had always been relatively low-key suddenly increased his publicity efforts.
Under the slogan that the foundation building will be successful and the foundation building time will be shortened by 90%, apprentices are recruited aggressively.
The foundation-building master's good reputation in the past, as well as his miraculous effects, attracted many monks who had completed their Qi refining and were ready to build the foundation.
They quite trusted the foundation-building master. After paying their contribution, they started building the foundation on the spot under the master's careful guidance.
However, when they woke up from the foundation building process, whether successful or failed, they found out angrily.
The foundation-building master who had been giving guidance in their ears turned out to be just an illusion.
The real master of foundation building has already run away.
Only then did the monks realize that they had been deceived.
According to subsequent statistics, at least a hundred monks gathered on the island at that time.
2,000 contribution points is a considerable amount for a monk who has perfected his Qi refining skills.
Unwilling to do so, they could not care less about losing face at this time, so they all chose to report to the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
How could the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance take such a trivial matter to their heart?
However, some surface work still needs to be done.
So Yanwutang ordered Jiang Zhengji to investigate the case thoroughly.
By the time Jiang Zhengji arrived at the island where the incident occurred to investigate, the building was already deserted and nothing could be found.
And this group of people seems to be quite capable.
Even Jiang Zhengji, relying on his connections, asked Elder Gongsun of Tianji Hall to estimate their whereabouts, but he couldn't find any clues.
If you fail to complete the task, your merits will be deducted and your authority level will be reduced.
Helpless, Jiang Zhengji had no choice but to give it a try, and sent a group message to all his friends to ask if anyone had seen any traces of the Foundation Establishment Master.
…
Li Fan, who understood the ins and outs of the matter, touched his chin with interest.
"According to the normal trajectory, they should still be carrying out the scam in a low-key manner and slowly accumulate contribution points."
"How could you make such a big deal and just run away?"
"Is it possible that they are also speculating on Lingwu Grass?"
Li Fan couldn't help but think of this.
After thinking about it, it is indeed possible.
After all, in the twelfth year, they were not far away from redeeming the Hedao Kung Fu "Hai Swallowing Longevity Kung Fu".
If you give it a try, maybe you can complete the task fifty years ahead of schedule?
Li Fan could even imagine that when the Lingwu Grass first surged, although they were moved, they might not reach an agreement.
Use decades of savings to speculate.
But as the price of Lingwu grass continues to rise, the opposition will become weaker.
After hesitating in the end, he finally agreed to enter and was ready to make a fortune and leave.
The Tianxuan Mirror settled the matter, and the price of Lingwu Grass collapsed.
They lost everything.
"Maybe they didn't use all their savings, but they definitely suffered heavy losses. That's why they took the risk and prepared to make a fortune and run away."
"One hundred people, that's 200,000 contribution points. This fraud can make you faster than investing."
After thinking about it, Li Fan replied to Jiang Zhengji: "If possible, fellow Taoists can search along the way to Yongliang Prefecture. Maybe there will be results."
After a while, Jiang Zhengji replied: "What do you mean, fellow Taoist, that they have defected to the Five Elders Association? Huh, betraying the alliance is a serious crime. If I catch you..."
"Anyway, thank you fellow Taoist!"
Li Fan said a few more polite words, put away the communication talisman, and thought quietly.
He didn't care much about the Foundation Establishment Master's early escape.
What Li Fan really cares about is that the impact of the Lingwu Grass incident seems to be beyond his expectation.
He had a vague feeling in his heart before, as if he was missing something.
At this moment, after being reminded by this episode, Li Fan finally understood.
What is it that I have overlooked?
Li Fan searched the Tianxuan Mirror for the price of spiritual herbs.
Sure enough, there were wailings all over the place, it was too miserable to watch.
Some have even fallen below cost price.
"In the twelfth year, the prices of these medicinal herbs avalanched because they were anchored for 13 years, and the first batch of spiritual plants grown in the wood-attribute cave sky matured and were shipped on a large scale."
"And in this life, because of the announcement of Tianxuan Mirror, all the monks of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance knew in advance that the cave was extremely rich in various spiritual herbs."
"A drop in prices can be expected. In order to sell the herbs in their hands as quickly as possible, the monks squeezed each other, which led to the premature collapse of the price of spiritual plants."
"But that's not the point."
"The point is..."
"Little Medicine King Cauldron."
Recalling the culprit who once caused his death, Li Fan couldn't help but have a flash of light in his eyes.
"With the price of herbal medicines collapsing, naturally no one will buy a small tripod for growing herbal medicines."
"No one has entrusted Jiao Xiuyuan. Will he go to the Yaowang Sect ruins and dig out the Little Yaowang Ding?"
"Although the Little Medicine King Cauldron at this time is of little value."
"But when the real Medicine King Cauldron returns, it will become a treasure that everyone is fighting for."
