Chapter 169: Pointing the Way to Qingfeng Hall
"It's good that no one is pursuing this matter. I'm just afraid that someone will take advantage of this incident to plot against me. That would be a real problem!" The more He Zhenghao thought about it, the worse his face looked.
"Friend He, don't worry. I think it's just a topic of conversation. If they really wanted to use this to plot against you, how could they say it so easily? They must have reported it directly to the top leaders of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance." Li Fan consoled.
"However, to be on the safe side, fellow Daoist, please don't do this kind of thing again in the future." Li Fan said.
He Zhenghao sighed and nodded.
Then, Li Fan pretended to be very curious: "Since you know that helping mortals smuggle is a big risk, why did you insist on doing it before? Could it be that the benefits are so high that you don't care about life or death?"
He Zhenghao smiled bitterly and said, "There is no such thing as high profits. It's a small world, and a trip every ten years will only earn two to three thousand contribution points. It's just a matter of accumulating a little bit to make a lot."
Li Fan pretended to be surprised and said, "Fellow Daoist, are you so short of contribution points? Are you greedy for such a small amount of contribution points?"
He Zhenghao's face turned red. "Who would complain about too much contribution? Besides, I have my own reasons."
At that moment, He Zhenghao told everyone about the pros and cons of his cultivation method, as well as his plan to change to a Nascent Soul method.
Li Fan listened and shook his head: "After more than a hundred years of practice, I have only reached the middle stage of foundation building. This technique is really not that good. It is better not to practice it!"
"Fellow Daoist He, you made a heroic move and changed your technique midway. Although the cost was quite high, it was obviously worth it!"
“I support you!”
"I wonder how much contribution you still need to redeem that Nascent Soul True Skill?"
He Zhenghao shook his head and sighed, "The technique I want to redeem is extremely extraordinary. Not only does it require 250,000 contribution points, but you also need to have a certain level of authority to search and redeem it."
"My authority has been almost upgraded now, but the accumulation of contribution points is still a long way off. I still need more than 100,000 points."
Li Fan nodded when he heard this, but he thought to himself: "It turns out that the list of skills I usually see in the Tianxuan Mirror is still incomplete."
"One hundred thousand contribution points is indeed an astronomical figure. It was only after I joined the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance more than a month ago that I realized how difficult it is to accumulate contribution points. I heard that Dingyu was an opportunity to get rich overnight, so I took a gamble. Alas..." Li Fan sighed, looking depressed.
"Fishing? Haha, I was obsessed with it a long time ago. But I haven't played it for a long time now."
He Zhenghao said sternly: "Listen to my advice, it's better not to touch this thing. You and I don't have that kind of vision and luck! If we go, we will just be giving away money for nothing!"
Li Fan agreed very much: "What Daoyou said is absolutely right."
Then, Li Fan changed the subject and said, "After thinking about it, I think the investment method that Daoyou mentioned to me before is more suitable for me..."
He Zhenghao looked pleased: "Haha, you have a good vision to realize this so quickly. Unlike me, I wasted half my life before finally finding such a reliable way to make money."
"Don't worry, next time there's a chance to make a lot of money, I will definitely not forget you, my friend!"
Li Fan said directly: "No need to wait until next time. Now is a chance to make a lot of money!"
"Oh? There is such a thing?" He Zhenghao felt something was wrong and his face changed. But he still asked.
"Haha, I won't hide it from you, fellow Daoist. Ever since you mentioned this investment method to me last time, I've often studied it myself when I have nothing to do. After a month, I feel like I've mastered the trick. If you want to profit from price fluctuations, the most convenient way is to use the Spirit Mist Grass."
"The price has been hovering between 18 and 22 contribution points per plant all year round. As long as I buy a large amount of Lingwu grass when the contribution point is 18, and then sell them all when the contribution point is 22, wouldn't it be easy to make a fortune?" Li Fan spoke confidently.
"Um...that's right." After listening to Li Fan's words, He Zhenghao couldn't find any flaws in it, so he had to nod in agreement.
Li Fan clapped his hands suddenly: "Now is the best time to buy! During this period, for some reason, the price of Lingwu Grass has been slowly falling. Now it has dropped to 18 contribution points! Isn't it just the lowest price! If you don't buy it now, when will you buy it?"
He Zhenghao was also moved by Li Fan's words: "That makes sense!"
He immediately took out a small Tianxuan mirror from somewhere, and after a light tap of his finger, the price of Lingwu grass was displayed.
"It really has dropped to 18 contribution points!" he said in surprise.
Then he praised Li Fan: "Daoyou's business sense is still very sharp!"
"No! How did he fall down by 18?!" Suddenly, He Zhenghao reacted and his face changed drastically.
"I bought it for 18 contribution points and never sold it. Now it's falling back to its original value?"
Li Fan said quickly, "Hey, fellow Daoist, don't panic. As the saying goes, when things reach their extremes, they will turn around. Now the price of Lingwu Grass has been falling all the way and has already fallen to the limit. Next, it must be a round of rebound. Maybe it will rise to 23 points all of a sudden. Now that the price is so low, it's a good opportunity for us to increase our position!"
"That makes sense! That makes sense! We must increase our positions!" He Zhenghao agreed deeply.
"Alas, it's a pity that most of my contribution points were lost in the fish-fixing. I wonder if Fellow Daoist He can lend me..."
Before Li Fan could finish, He Zhenghao shook his head again and again: "No, no, you saw it last time. I only have a little over a thousand contribution points left. I really can't lend you any more."
Li Fan looked regretful: "If I miss this opportunity to make a lot of money, I will be unwilling to do so!"
He Zhenghao looked at Li Fan, as if he wanted to say something, but was a little hesitant.
Li Fan saw through it at a glance and said happily, "What do you have to teach me, fellow Taoist?"
He Zhenghao still didn't speak.
Li Fan said solemnly: "If you can help me this time, I will reward you handsomely in the future."
"I have a feeling that I am not far from breaking through to the Perfect Foundation Establishment stage, and I will soon be preparing for the Core Formation stage."
"It is urgent to collect the skills. If we miss this opportunity, I don't know how long it will take!"
Perhaps it was Li Fan’s last two sentences that convinced He Zhenghao.
He hesitated for a while, but finally took out a dark green jade token and handed it to Li Fan.
He whispered, "If you really want to take this opportunity to try your luck, you can take this token and go to the outermost part of Wanxian Island and find a shop called Qingfengtang."
"Once you enter the store, don't say anything, just show this token."
"If anyone asks, just say I introduced you."
"Qingfengtang is a shop that sells sundries on the surface, but it actually provides loans for contribution points, skills, and other materials."
…
Li Fan listened to He Zhenghao's words and smiled slightly in his heart.
It's you.
