Chapter 212: The Aftermath Changes the World
In the Bone Hand Advance Territory, Li Fan, who held the highest authority, looked at Ye Feipeng who was inexplicably excited and Xiao Heng who was equally happy, and nodded secretly.
"After acting with these guys for so long, I'm finally getting to the point where I can do it."
"If nothing unexpected happens in the future, I can just sit back and reap the returns on my investment without having to worry about anything else."
In order to make the lies he made up look as true as possible, Li Fan took great pains and spent a lot of money.
Including but not limited to: necklaces that integrate communication arrays and ritual solidification arrays.
A communication transmission array disguised as an altar.
A puppet with cultivation level at the foundation-building stage.
A phantom stone that forges the image of a monk's fall.
And so on.
The reason why this life goes to so much trouble is to lease and renovate the advance zone and to fabricate fictitious stories of true immortals.
Li Fan naturally had his considerations.
First, if you directly sponsor their skills as a cultivator, it will be fine at the beginning because the geniuses are young and will not have many ideas.
But as they grow older and understand the preciousness of the technique, they will inevitably have doubts, suspecting 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.
He disguised himself as a half-fallen ancient monk and concealed the gift of skills as the geniuses' own adventures.
There is no such concern.
Second, after establishing the [Fuxian] organization, he can be a hands-off boss.
You no longer have to work hard to find people with extraordinary talents to invest in.
It is said that geniuses attract each other.
As Xiao Heng, Su Xiaomei and other geniuses grow and travel, they will most likely meet some talented companions.
Li Fan doesn't have to worry about anything, as the number of members of Fuxian will increase.
While letting the geniuses run wild and practicing on your own, you can also enjoy the return on investment brought by Fuxian's expansion.
It's amazing.
Third, the organizational background of [Fuxian], which 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 in this way can their cultivation talents be squeezed to the extreme.
Li Fan can recover his investment costs faster.
Li Fanke clearly remembered that Xiao Heng had been under no pressure before, but he had not been able to get rid of 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 "carrying the heavy responsibility of revenge", he spontaneously began to practice the "Dinghai Divine Sword" the day after he obtained it.
The gap between them is too big.
As for this small [Resurrection of Immortals] organization, will it attract the attention of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance...
When Li Fan disguised himself as a skull, he had already told Xiao Heng about it.
The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is a powerful force, and its current focus is on developing and strengthening its own strength.
Before you have cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage, do not engage in direct conflict with the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
No matter how talented Xiao Heng is, it will take him many years to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage.
I'm afraid Li Fan won't be able to see it in this life.
…
In short, the seeds have been planted. Now all we have to do is wait for the geniuses in the Outer Realm to grow up and reap the fruits.
It was a busy two months in total. When Li Fan returned to Wanxian Island, it was already the 10th year of the anchor.
Although practicing the Sitting Mountain Technique can allow one to "sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor", Li Fan is not the kind of person who puts all his hopes on others.
My own cultivation has not been neglected either.
Li Fan spent the entire 10 years of anchoring in hard seclusion and training.
The spiritual awakening state never stops for a moment, and just one year is equivalent to twenty years of hard practice for an ordinary cultivator.
And on this day, a very rich feedback of cultivation suddenly appeared out of nowhere in Li Fan's Dantian.
It woke him up from his practice.
This amount of cultivation is equivalent to three or four years of hard practice under normal circumstances.
Unexpectedly, the first feedback on his cultivation came so quickly. Li Fan couldn't help but feel a little surprised and checked it immediately.
After careful experience, what Li Fan did not expect was that the first large amount of cultivation feedback of the Mountain Sitting Technique did not come from the people who left the world.
But it comes 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, this is a result of years of accumulation. He has achieved a breakthrough so quickly."
"It seems that what he said about achieving the Golden Elixir within fifty years was not an empty statement."
At this time, Li Fan also received the good news from He Zhenghao.
Li Fan waived the interest he had to pay this year as an encouragement.
Let him continue to practice hard and strive to achieve the Golden Elixir as soon as possible.
Afterwards, he checked for any messages he had missed during his retreat.
Zhang Zhiliang's research on the Mountain and River Array is almost coming to an end.
He sent a message, asking Li Fan how his self-taught knowledge of formations was going.
When he comes back, he will conduct an assessment on Li Fan.
This naturally did not pose any problem for Li Fan, who had studied formations under Zhang Zhiliang for more than ten years in his previous life.
So Li Fan wasn't too worried.
Next, among a bunch of insignificant greeting messages, a message from Jiang Zhengji from the Martial Arts Hall actually piqued Li Fan's interest.
He asked Li Fan if he had seen a cultivator in the late foundation building stage recently.
Obviously the message was sent to a group of people, but Li Fan knew this foundation-building cultivator.
It was during the twelfth generation that the foundation-building master also smuggled in from the mortal world.
Li Fan asked Jiang Zhengji and finally found out what was going on.
It turned out that not long ago, this master of foundation building, who had always been relatively low-key, suddenly increased his publicity efforts.
Under the slogan of "guaranteed success in foundation-building and shortening the foundation-building time by 90 percent", he recruited apprentices on a large scale.
The good reputation of the Foundation Building Master in the past, as well as his miraculous effects, attracted many cultivators who had completed their Qi training and were preparing to build their foundation.
They had considerable trust in this foundation-building master, and after paying their contribution points, they began to build their 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 discovered angrily.
The foundation-building master who had been giving them guidance in their ears was actually just an illusion.
The real foundation-building master had already run away.
The monks then realized that they had been deceived.
According to subsequent statistics, there were at least more than one hundred monks gathered on the island at that time.
2000 contribution points is also a considerable number for a cultivator who has reached the peak of Qi Refining.
They were unwilling to accept the result and no longer cared about their face, and chose to report to the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance would never take such a small matter to heart.
However, some surface work still needs to be done.
So the Martial Arts Hall ordered Jiang Zhengji to investigate the case thoroughly.
By the time Jiang Zhengji arrived at the island where the incident occurred to investigate, the place was already deserted and he could not find anything.
And this group of people seems to be quite resourceful.
Lian Jiangzhengji asked Elder Gongsun from Tianji Hall to calculate their whereabouts through his connections, but he was unable to find any clues.
If you fail to complete the task, your merits will be deducted and your authority level will be downgraded.
Helpless Jiang Zhengji had no choice but to give it a try and sent a group message to all his friends, asking if anyone had ever seen the Foundation Building Master.
…
After understanding the whole story, Li Fan touched his chin with interest.
"According to the normal trajectory, they should still be carrying out the scam in a low profile and slowly accumulating contribution points."
"How come they made such a big mistake and just ran away?"
"Could it be that they are also speculating on the Spirit Mist Grass?"
Li Fan couldn't help but think so.
After thinking about it, it is indeed possible.
After all, in the twelfth life, they were not far from exchanging for the Hedao Kung Fu "Swallowing the Sea for Eternal Life".
If we try, maybe we can complete the task fifty years earlier?
Li Fan could even imagine that when the Lingwu grass first exploded in value, although they were excited, they might not necessarily reach a consensus.
Using decades of savings to speculate.
But as the price of Lingwu grass continues to rise, the opposition will become weaker.
After hesitating for a while, he finally agreed to join in and was ready to make a quick buck and leave.
Tianxuan Mirror's words settled the storm, and the price of Lingwu Grass collapsed.
They lost everything they had.
"They may not have used up all their savings, but they definitely suffered heavy losses. That's why they took the risk and were ready to make some money to recover their losses and run away."
"One hundred people means two hundred thousand contribution points. This scam makes money faster than investing."
After thinking for a while, Li Fan replied to Jiang Zhengji: "If possible, you can search along the direction of Yongliang Prefecture. Maybe there will be some results."
After a while, Jiang Zhengji replied: "You mean, fellow Daoist, they went to join the Five Elders? Humph, betrayal is a serious crime. If I catch them..."
"No matter what, thank you very much, fellow Taoist!"
Li Fan said a few more polite words, put away the communication symbol, and thought quietly.
He didn't care much about the fact that the Foundation Building Master escaped early.
What Li Fan really cared about was that the impact of the Lingwu Grass incident seemed to be beyond his expectations.
He had a vague feeling in his heart before, as if he had missed something.
After being reminded by this episode, Li Fan finally understood.
What I have overlooked.
Li Fan searched for the prices of spiritual herbs in the Tianxuan Mirror.
As expected, there was wailing everywhere, and it was a horrible sight.
Some have even fallen below cost price.
"In the twelfth generation, the prices of these herbs collapsed because the first batch of spiritual plants planted in the wood-attributed cave heaven matured and were shipped on a large scale after the 13th year of anchoring."
"And in this life, because of the announcement of the Tianxuan Mirror, all the cultivators of the Ten Thousand Immortals League knew in advance that the cave was extremely rich in various spiritual plants and herbs."
"The price drop is foreseeable. In order to sell the herbs in their hands as quickly as possible, the monks squeezed each other, which caused the price of spiritual plants to collapse ahead of time."
"But that's not the point."
"The point is..."
"Small Medicine King Cauldron."
Thinking back to the culprit who had caused his death, Li Fan couldn't help but have a gleam in his eyes.
"With the collapse of herbal medicine prices, naturally no one would buy a small cauldron for growing herbs."
"If no one entrusted Jiao Xiuyuan, would he still go to the Medicine King Sect ruins and dig out the Small Medicine King Cauldron?"
“The small 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 will fight for."
