Chapter 151 First Investment
Li Fan had no intention of complaining.
But this "Art of Sitting in the Mountain" was indeed not originally created by a cultivator.
It is no longer possible to determine where it came from.
But according to the records in the first edition of "The Art of Sitting in the Mountain", if one wants to improve his realm, one can only rely on "sitting in the mountain".
Rely on the selected mountain to continuously increase the altitude and thus obtain corresponding cultivation feedback.
This process is too long.
In ancient times, mountains and rivers were not as easily changed as they are today.
It often takes thousands of years for a mountain to grow just a little bit in height.
If this "Secret of Sitting in the Mountain" is not a joke, then it is better to say that it is for people to practice.
It is better to say that it is used for the trees and rocks on the top of the mountain.
But as far as Li Fan knows, in today's world of immortal cultivation, apart from humans, there are no plant spirits, monsters, or alien monsters.
Those slightly stronger beasts can only control a trace of extraordinary power by relying on the blood in their bodies.
But it is absolutely impossible to practice.
"Could it be that, in the beginning, there were monsters in this world? But then something unexpected happened and all the monsters disappeared." Li Fan couldn't help but guess.
However, no matter what the truth was, it had little to do with Li Fan's practice of the "Mountain Sitting Technique". He was just daydreaming about it, and it was useless to delve into it.
The first edition of "The Art of Sitting in the Mountain" was completely unusable for cultivators to practice.
However, as the catastrophe approached, changes in mountains and rivers became more frequent, and the "Mountain Sitting Secret" became barely possible to practice.
Later, a thousand years ago, there was a man of extraordinary talent who accidentally obtained this "Secret of Sitting in the Mountain".
According to the essence of "sitting on the mountain and enjoying the fruits of one's labor", the exercises were modified.
Self-cultivation can also increase the progress of the technique.
It also expands the scope of application of "sitting back and reaping the fruits of one's labor" from mountains to people.
This officially makes "The Secret of Sitting in the Mountain" an extremely precious method.
It's a pity that this peerless genius only recorded this incident in the preface of the technique, and did not leave his own name.
"The Secret of Sitting in the Mountain" is a Jindan-stage practice just like "The Sword of the Sea".
This life is definitely enough for Li Fan to practice.
Li Fan practiced the exercises according to the ins and outs, and in just a short while, he mastered the "Mountain Sitting Technique".
But then, the feeling of stagnation in practice reappeared.
Obviously, "The Art of Sitting on a Mountain" is not compatible with Li Fan's foundation-building artifact, the Canghai Pearl.
Li Fan hesitated for a moment, but started to practice "Tai Shang Yuan Shi Zhen Jing".
He used up all the power of "Thousand Machines Jade World Gold Chapter" and turned to practice "Sitting in the Mountain Art".
With the help of the vast and refined cultivation in the foundation-building period, Li Fan cultivated "The Art of Sitting on the Mountain" to the foundation-building period in a short time.
"Next, we need to see how effective this [sitting back and enjoying the fruits of others' labor] is."
"If the effect is average, then I might as well practice the Dinghai Divine Sword."
Having made up his mind, Li Fan took out the jade slip of "Thousand Machines Jade Gold Seal".
"There is no greater grace than passing on the Dharma, especially in this world where immortals cannot practice together. The grace of passing on the Dharma is almost like rebirth."
"He Zhenghao took good care of me before. I think it was because he wanted to [reap the fruits of others' labor]."
"It's a pity that he is too narrow-minded, and these are just small favors. Even if he can give back his cultivation, I don't think it will be much."
“Investment is investment, naturally the greater the investment, the greater the return.”
"Let's just try a big one and see what this "Mountain Sitting Secret" is like."
He immediately took out the Tianxuan small mirror and checked the market price of the Nascent Soul technique.
In the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, the price of Qi Refining Stage techniques is generally between 1000-3000 contribution points.
For foundation-building techniques, the contribution points are generally between 5,000 and 10,000 points.
Starting from the Golden Elixir Technique, the price has taken a big leap.
The lowest level costs 30,000 points, and the more sophisticated the method of forming the elixir, the higher the price.
From 40,000 to 50,000.
The Nascent Soul True Power starts at 50,000, and 100,000 contribution points is not a lot.
Li Fan even saw a technique called "Yin Yang Dual Cultivation" with an astonishing price of 150,000 points.
I don’t know what the mystery is.
"Kou Hong, Dao Xuanzi, I will never let you brothers kill each other in this life."
Li Fan smiled slightly and chose to sell the Nascent Soul technique: "Thousand Machines Jade Gold Seal".
The Tianxuan small mirror swept across with a faint light.
After a while, a price of 90,000 contribution points was given.
Considering that the Tianxuan Mirror was purchased at a discount, it shows that the "Thousand Machines Jade Gold Seal" is indeed quite good.
Li Fan did not hesitate and chose to accept it directly.
A golden contract flew out from the Tianxuan small mirror and stopped in front of Li Fan.
Li Fan read it carefully.
The contract explains various matters needing attention in the transaction of martial arts.
Once the transaction is completed, the skills will belong to the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
Any future use of the technique will have nothing to do with the original owner.
The transaction cannot be reversed.
The original owner's memory of the technique will automatically disappear after the transaction is completed.
Please do not keep a copy of the technique and do not trade it with others. Otherwise, you will be responsible for the consequences.
…
No objection.
Using spiritual power as a pen, Li Fan signed his name on the golden contract.
Then the contract turned into countless golden particles, and some of them disappeared into Li Fan's body.
Some of them took the jade slips and returned to the Tianxuan small mirror.
The transaction was completed, and Li Fan's memory of the specific content of the "Thousand Machines Jade World Gold Seal" technique also disappeared.
I only remember that I once mastered this skill, but I have no recollection of every word and sentence of it.
Li Fan didn't feel lost at all. After all, it was a Huanzhen-bound item, so he wasn't afraid of losing it.
"It seems that I can make a lot of money from this in every life from now on."
After obtaining 90,000 contribution points, Li Fan began to experiment with the effect of "sitting back and enjoying the fruits of others' labor".
"The experiment needs a control group, so let's choose Xiao Heng."
The first investment target of Zuoshan Jue was naturally Su Xiaomei, who was born with an immortal body and was envied by heaven.
The clone put on his clothes, used the Hidden Shape Talisman to conceal his cultivation, and stood aside.
Then he used the communication talisman to call them over.
Not long after, Su Xiaomei and Xiao Heng arrived at the stone chamber at the bottom of the lake.
They looked at the clone beside Li Fan with curiosity, not knowing who this strange cultivator was.
However, Li Fan did not say anything, and they did not dare to ask questions.
"Hello, Master!"
"Hello, senior!"
The two of them bowed respectfully.
"How is your training going, you two?" Li Fan asked, turning his back to them.
"Master, I'm improving very fast. I've already completed Qi refining and will be able to build a foundation soon. But building a foundation requires rare items from heaven and earth, as well as foundation-building techniques. It also requires a lot of contribution points, and I'll have to save them up for a long time." Su Xiaomei stared at Li Fan with her big eyes and said pitifully.
"Replying to you, senior, I am also preparing for foundation building like my younger sister." Xiao Heng was a little reserved.
He was silent for a moment, as if thinking about something.
After a while, Li Fan turned around and said, "I'm sorry to have delayed you in collecting Daoyun antiques for me."
Xiao Heng said quickly: "That's not the case, Senior. It is my honor to work for you. If it weren't for you, we would never have been able to leave the world and embark on the immortal path."
"Besides, the techniques we practice were provided by our predecessors."
"I will never forget your kindness in passing on the Dharma."
Li Fan waited for Xiao Heng to finish speaking before he continued, "In the matter of cultivation, one must be quick in every step."
"If you rely on your own savings, you may have to wait another three to five years."
"If you waste a few years of your most precious training time, I'm afraid your future achievements will be completely different."
"so……"
Li Fan paused and continued, "You can choose the skills and items you like in this Tianxuan Mirror, and I will pay for them."
"Once you get it, build your foundation immediately. Don't delay any further."
Su Xiaomei and Xiao Heng were stunned at first, as if they couldn't react to the fact that such a great thing had happened to them.
And when they showed joy on their faces and were about to kowtow to express their gratitude.
But then I heard Li Fan say, "Su Xiaomei has always called me Master. Although I have never agreed, there is always a trace of affection between us. So I won't ask her for contribution points. It can be regarded as a master's care for his disciple."
"As for you... I'll just lend you your contribution points first. You'll need to collect rare items for me in the future to repay me. Do you have any objections?"
These words gave Su Xiaomei and Xiao Heng completely different reactions.
Su Xiaomei shouted "Long live Master", then kowtowed and rushed to the Tianxuan small mirror impatiently to choose a technique.
Xiao Heng looked at Su Xiaomei and smiled bitterly.
Then his face became serious: "Senior is willing to lend me contribution points so that I can build my foundation in advance. This is already a great favor, how can I be ungrateful."
"After building the foundation, I will definitely do my best to collect the wonders of heaven and earth to repay the kindness of my predecessors."
Li Fan nodded slowly after hearing this: "In that case, you can go too."
Xiao Heng also bowed his head before walking to the Tianxuan small mirror and starting to choose with Su Xiaomei.
Looking at the two people with excitement on their faces, Li Fan's eyes were deep.
The completely different treatments of Su Xiaomei and Xiao Heng were naturally due to Li Fan controlling the variables.
After the Dharma was passed on, as their cultivation level improved, Li Fan would be able to get feedback on their cultivation level.
Is it worth the initial investment?
How different will the feedback be between teaching the Dharma for free and teaching the Dharma for a fee?
For the same amount of contribution, is it more the improvement gained through investment in "Zuo Shan Jue" or the improvement gained through one's own practice in Tianxuan Mirror?
These are the questions that Li Fan needs to clarify.
This determines how Li Fan will use the "Sitting Back and Enjoying the Fruits of the Fruit" feature of "Sitting on the Mountain Technique" next.
After the initial stage of foundation building, the consumption of awakening the Tianxuan Mirror has increased to one hundred points per day.
The bonus multiplier also dropped from twenty-seven times to about twenty times.
The difficulty of practice in the Foundation Establishment Stage has made a qualitative leap compared to the Qi Refining Stage.
Kou Hong and Dao Xuanzi are not mediocre people.
But it took them more than two hundred years to cultivate to the great perfection of foundation building.
This also illustrates to some extent the difficulty of spiritual practice.
The contribution consumption is too high.
Although Li Fan was able to foresee things and easily earn a large amount of contribution points.
But you also have to be careful with your budget.
