Chapter 191 Bubble of Greed
"Smelled a business opportunity? What do you mean?" Li Fan looked at Jiao Xiuyuan with interest and asked.
Jiao Xiuyuan looked pleased: "Just like some people can seek benefits and avoid harm. I, Jiao Xiuyuan, have been able to easily find the one that can make huge profits from countless complicated and useless information since I was a child! This is instinct and talent. Others can't envy it!"
He glanced at Li Fan again and said, "Just when you left me, I felt an immense sense of loss."
"It was as if I saw with my own eyes a large amount of contribution points leaving me, and my heart was bleeding!"
"So, I am sure that what you said is true!" Jiao Xiuyuan concluded.
Li Fan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that he really had such talent.
However, recalling the scenes of his previous interactions with Jiao Xiuyuan, Li Fan nodded slowly again.
"In that case, what price are you prepared to offer?"
Jiao Xiuyuan pondered for a moment and made the number three.
"What does this mean? Three thousand contribution points?" Li Fan looked at it for a while, unable to figure out what it meant, and asked in confusion.
Jiao Xiuyuan said in a deep voice: "Thirty percent. Fellow Daoist, you will get thirty percent of the profit from this piece of information."
Li Fan narrowed his eyes, a little unconvinced: "So generous?"
Jiao Xiuyuan smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, you are not a businessman after all. You don't understand the value of a piece of advanced and timely news."
"Under certain circumstances, a piece of news can bring in a hundred or a thousand times the profit."
"As long as you pay 30% of the cost, you can get a thousand times the profit. Why not do it?" Jiao Xiuyuan's eyes were full of shrewdness.
Li Fan couldn't help but applaud and said, "You are right, but words are not enough. How can I be sure that you will turn your back on me?"
Jiao Xiuyuan sneered and said, "It seems that you really don't understand the Dao of business. Of course, there are rules for doing business."
He took out a piece of golden foil from somewhere, used his hand as a pen, and quickly wrote down the agreed matters on it.
After showing it to Li Fan for confirmation, he wrote down his name without hesitation.
"Fellow Daoist, please!" He handed the foil to Li Fan.
Li Fan read it carefully again and finally wrote down the name of his clone: Lin Fan.
The golden foil instantly split into three pieces, two of which flew towards Jiao Xiuyuan and Li Fan, and the other flew into the sky, and it was unknown where it eventually went.
After a moment, Li Fan felt an inexplicable force descending upon his clone.
This force limits and constrains the clone, requiring it to complete tasks as agreed upon on the golden foil.
It seemed as if it had become his own wish and he had no regrets.
Instead, they will take the initiative to complete the agreement.
"The power to change the mind's cognition..." The clone was suddenly startled when he noticed the inexplicable changes in his heart.
After sensing it, Li Fan's original body in the Tianxuan Mirror was not affected.
"The Art of Stealing the Sky and Changing the Sun is truly miraculous." Li Fan couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief and praised in his heart.
On the clone's side, due to the power of the golden foil, he immediately spoke out the news that the Lingwu Grass Island might have been attacked by the strange beast Dragon Whale, and all the Lingwu Grass on the island was destroyed.
"The Lingwucao Island was destroyed?" Upon hearing this, Jiao Xiuyuan's eyes became extremely greedy.
"Wait a minute, fellow Daoist! Let me find out for myself!"
After saying that, he closed his eyes.
After a while, he suddenly opened his eyes: "The news is correct!"
He paced back and forth excitedly: "Lingwu Island in Congyunhai is one of the largest cultivation sites for Lingwu grass. At least one-fifth of the Lingwu grass of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance comes from here."
"Now that all the Lingwu grass on the island has been destroyed, the price of Lingwu grass is bound to soar in a short period of time."
"By the way, the prices of by-products such as the Hidden Shape Talisman will also skyrocket."
Suddenly, he paused and frowned slightly: "But, after all, it is only used from the foundation-building to the golden elixir stage, and it is also grown in other places. Even if the price will increase, it will only increase by half at most."
"Compared to the business opportunities I had a hunch about, it's far from it."
"What exactly is the problem?"
After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't find the answer.
Jiao Xiuyuan suddenly became a little irritated.
An unsettling aura began to emanate from him.
Li Fan listened to Jiao Xiuyuan's mumbling and seemed to be thinking about something.
I had heard all kinds of anecdotes before crossing over; He Zhenghao and a small group of people were ready to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune; after the price of Lingwu grass rose, a bunch of people immediately followed suit...
All the clues were strung together into one line, and Li Fan immediately understood.
He patted Jiao Xiuyuan on the shoulder and said in a deep voice: "The business opportunity this time is not about Lingwu Grass, but about people!"
Jiao Xiuyuan was slightly stunned, his eyes filled with confusion.
Then he woke up instantly and said happily: "Daoyou's words awakened me from my dream! Yes, the profit of dozens of times is from people, not grass!"
While awakening Jiao Xiuyuan, Li Fan himself also started buying Lingwu Grass from the Tianxuan Mirror.
Unfortunately, after all the consumption, I only have more than 2,000 contribution points left, which can only be considered as better than nothing.
Jiao Xiuyuan's aura changed at this moment. He was no longer as wretched as before, but had an inexplicable domineering aura: "To gain advantage from calculating against others, I need to be the banker."
“You can’t catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb.”
He didn't make any movement, but a moment later, Li Fan saw that the price of Lingwu Grass began to soar at a speed visible to the naked eye.
19, 20, 21...
In an instant, the price of Lingwu Grass skyrocketed to 22 points.
"The Qianlitang that is spread all over the world of immortal cultivation..." Li Fan's eyelids twitched. This Jiao Xiuyuan really didn't brag.
At this time, Jiao Xiuyuan's actions had just begun.
"Now that I am the host, I should invite all the guests to take their seats." He let out a low laugh.
Then, he seemed to fall into a deep sleep, motionless.
For a moment, Qianli Hall fell into silence.
Li Fan knew what he was doing.
Jiao Xiuyuan must be using his countless puppets spread throughout the world of immortal cultivation to spread the news of the destruction of Lingwucao Island.
Things take time to develop, and you just need to wait patiently.
At this moment, He Zhenghao's extremely excited message finally arrived.
"Daoist Li Fan! Do you still remember when I told you that I would help you make a lot of money?!"
"Now the chance has come!"
"I got accurate information that the island where the Spirit Mist Grass was planted was attacked by a strange beast and all the Spirit Mist Grass on the island was destroyed."
"The price of Lingwu Grass will definitely skyrocket!"
"If you don't believe me, just look at it. In such a short period of time, it has increased from 18 points to 22 points!"
“But it doesn’t matter, it will definitely go up again!”
"Don't miss this opportunity, fellow Daoist, act quickly!"
An inexplicable smile appeared on Li Fan's lips, and he quickly replied: "Thank you, Fellow Daoist He, I have bought all the stocks."
…
When the bubble comes, everyone knows that it will burst if it is poked.
But in the face of huge profits, everyone lost their minds and acted recklessly.
When Jiao Xiuyuan's countless puppets began to exert their power, a piece of news began to spread in the world of immortal cultivation.
And it spread more and more widely, and gradually became known to everyone.
The price of Lingwu grass is going to increase.
Thus, the bubble began its first expansion.
