Chapter 457 True Leaf Hidden Manor
The price of Samantabhadra spatholobi has been very stable.
There was even a strange phenomenon of a decline against the trend.
Moreover, when Xuan Jing's words settled the storm that day, the Lingwu grass caused the prices of most herbs on the market to collapse.
Its price remains strong, with no significant fluctuations from beginning to end.
"Puxian True Leaf Grass..."
The crystal of the Dao Stone in his mind flashed blue light, and Li Fan began to search for its later information.
After a moment, Li Fan showed a look of interest.
According to Li Fan's later memories, after the Lingwu Grass incident, as the rich by-products from the Five Elements Cave Heaven were continuously mined and put on the market, almost all spiritual plants and herbs experienced a sharp drop in price.
However, Samantabhadra true leaf grass is an exception.
Over the next few decades, the price of Samantabhadra continued to rise steadily.
It's just that it is too unpopular and not many monks pay attention to it.
Therefore, Li Fan, who had made a fortune from the hype of the Lingwu Grass incident and then devoted most of his energy to building the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Array, naturally ignored it.
Now that the incident with Lingwu Grass was unlikely to happen, Li Fan needed to find a substitute and he obviously noticed the unusualness of Puxian True Leaf Grass.
"In my previous life, I remember that after the Tianxuan Soul Locking Array became popular, the Xianming Identification Talisman was gradually cancelled. However, its price has always remained high, which means that it must have other unknown uses."
"All these abnormal signs show that there must be someone behind this."
Li Fan carefully thought about the feasibility of two methods: trying to attack Lingwu Island and artificially causing the price of Lingwu grass to inflate, and using Puxian True Leaf Grass as a substitute.
"No matter which method is used, the final result will definitely cause considerable turmoil. Tianji Hall will definitely investigate."
"Judging from the final outcome of the previous life, through free market operations, buying low and selling high, it was within the scope of the permitted rules."
"But if someone intentionally disrupts the market and the economy, it's hard to say. You might be charged with undermining the stability of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance."
"Even if I have the secret technique of covering the sky with one hand, I may not be able to withstand investigation."
“…”
Li Fan thought about it seriously and made a vague decision.
"However, we still need to see if this Puxian True Leaf Grass can really work."
Do what you say.
Li Fan sold all the Lingwu grass he had purchased before regardless of the cost, and instead purchased Puxian Zhenye grass.
In the Tianxuan Mirror, the price of Samantabhadra True Leaf Grass is now basically stable at 280 contribution points per piece.
Li Fan spent a million contribution points at once and went on a shopping spree.
Soon, the survival rate in the market was declining at a rate visible to the naked eye.
At the same time, its price slowly began to rise.
It has wiped out the decline of the previous few days and returned to the normal price level, around 300 contribution points.
Li Fan remained calm and continued to increase his purchasing efforts.
Another million contribution points were spent.
301, 302...
The price of Samantabhadra true leaf grass is about to break through 305.
At this moment, its price suddenly began to plummet, visibly.
In an instant, the contribution point dropped from over 300 to 292 points.
"This situation shows that someone has put a large amount of Puxian True Leaf Grass into the market."
"The Tianxuan Mirror judged that supply exceeded demand, so the price plummeted in a short period of time."
"interesting."
A gleam of light flashed in Li Fan's eyes. He stopped for the moment and started to think carefully.
"You have a large amount of Samantabhadra Herb in your hands, but you are actively manipulating the price to fall? Why is that?"
"Moreover, in the last life, during the Lingwu Grass incident, when the prices of spiritual plants and herbs generally increased, I was able to control the price of Puxian True Leaf Grass to a high degree."
"It is basically certain that the other party has almost formed a certain monopoly."
"Are you sure of winning..."
Not long after, recalling an action he had taken in his previous life, Li Fan vaguely thought of a possibility.
Li Fan suddenly stood up, walked out of the Tianxuan Mirror, and went straight to Qianli Hall.
Outside, Jiao Xiuyuan's dissatisfied voice could be heard: "Didn't you agree to take this Flying Star Plate? I finally dug it out, and now you don't want it anymore?"
"Can people nowadays still be honest in doing business?"
Li Fan interrupted with a smile: "No one wants it? I want it!"
Jiao Xiuyuan originally didn't know who he was talking to, but when he heard this, his brows immediately lit up with joy.
He quickly said, "Deal! One thousand five hundred contribution points, one price! No regrets!"
As he said this, he handed over a rusty copper plate.
Li Fan took a quick look and didn't see anything unusual.
However, based on his experience in his previous life, after paying the money, he still put it into the storage ring for safekeeping.
"Fellow Daoist Jiao, don't worry about these little fights. I came to you this time for a big business!"
Li Fan said seriously.
At this time, Jiao Xiuyuan also recognized Li Fan.
Thinking that he came to inquire whether the [Stone Eye of Delusion-Breaking] had been sold, a trace of embarrassment appeared on Jiao Xiuyuan's dark face.
"Ah! It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Li Fan! I'm so sorry, but that delusion-breaking stone eye might be..."
Li Fan waved his hand to interrupt him, pulled Jiao Xiuyuan closer, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry about this for now. Fellow Daoist Jiao, what I just said was serious."
"If you miss this opportunity, I'm afraid your Tao heart will be shattered and most of your puppets will be damaged!"
Seeing Li Fan's alarmist remarks, Jiao Xiuyuan's expression changed instantly.
Putting away the playful expression on his face, Jiao Xiuyuan looked at Li Fan seriously and closed the door of Qianli Hall.
"Fellow Daoist Li Fan, where do you get the idea from?" he asked.
"Does Fellow Daoist Jiao know about this Samantabhadra True Leaf Grass? Its price has been a bit abnormal recently. Fellow Daoist Jiao will know it at a glance." Li Fan replied.
Upon hearing this, Jiao Xiuyuan closed his eyes and began to think.
After a moment, his brows furrowed slightly.
At this time, Li Fan told Jiao Xiuyuan about his previous tentative actions.
"What do you think, fellow Daoist?" Li Fan asked, with a tone of consideration.
Jiao Xiuyuan pondered for a moment and said, "If my guess is correct, the other party should have borrowed a certain amount of Puxian True Leaf Grass from somewhere."
"And he may also happen to have some excess inventory."
"So they wanted to release a large amount of Puxian True Leaf Grass into the market and temporarily lower the price, so that they could pay back less and make a profit."
Jiao Xiuyuan gave his own judgment.
Li Fan clapped his hands and said, "Great minds think alike. I think so too."
Jiao Xiuyuan frowned, somewhat dissatisfied: "Is this the big business you were talking about? Why didn't I see it?"
Li Fan gave a mysterious smile.
"If, I mean if."
"When the other party must return the Samantabhadra True Leaf Grass, and the total amount circulating in the market is not enough for him to return, what will happen?"
Jiao Xiuyuan suddenly failed to understand the meaning of Li Fan's words.
I was stunned.
After a moment, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
