Chapter 49: Rare Goods Must Be Occupied
He Zhenghao didn't understand why Li Fan reacted like that.
Fortunately, He Zhenghao did not think too much about it. Instead, he looked at Li Fan with a smile and said, "Don't be nervous. I just want to ask, do you have any interest in guarding this island?"
"Of course, it's not this Liuli Island, but Tai'an Island to the west of Liuli Island."
"The Tai'an Island Guard has a good relationship with me. Now he has encountered a bottleneck in his practice and wants to go out to look for opportunities."
"But I have a duty to fulfill and cannot leave. So I asked if there is anyone I can recommend."
"What a coincidence, I met you."
He Zhenghao explained.
"To guard an island, one must at least be at the Foundation Establishment stage. I'm just at the initial stage of Qi Refining, can I be the guard?" Li Fan was a little surprised when he heard this.
As long as there are special products of certain value in the surrounding areas of the Congyun Sea, there will be cultivators guarding them.
The time for guarding an island can be as short as ten years or as long as a hundred years.
Since they have to stay on the island all the time and cannot leave easily, there are many restrictions, so the reward is very high.
Depending on the size of the island, the annual contributions can range from several hundred to thousands.
Therefore, the job of guarding an island is a very popular one and it cannot be done without certain connections.
This is especially true for the garrison positions on rich islands, which are often booked long before the previous incumbent leaves office.
"Of course it's not a proper guarding position, but my good friend has issued a commission to you, and you are just taking over the guarding position temporarily for him. Besides, Tai'an Island is not a big island. There is a large formation to protect the island, and the Qi Refining Stage cultivators are enough to take care of it for a while. Don't worry, my friend."
"As the recommender, I will naturally get a certain amount of compensation." He Zhenghao explained to Li Fan enthusiastically.
"How long can you be away during the period of acting guard?" Li Fan asked again.
"The island protection formation usually operates once every five days. If you need to go out for something, it is best to return within five days. It is not advisable to go out more than three times in a year."
Thinking that Li Fan was afraid of delaying his practice, He Zhenghao added: "After receiving the contribution points every year, you can go to the Tianxuan Mirror to exchange for five days of auxiliary practice time. These five days are often equivalent to half a year of hard practice."
Li Fan knew it was a good thing and agreed immediately.
"But I still have to wait until I return to Wanxian Island and hand in the mission first."
"Of course. You go first, my friend. I'll go to the island to find you after Tai'an Island is ready in a few days."
Li Fan then said goodbye to He Zhenghao and returned to Wanxian Island.
There is no need to go to the pharmacy, just deliver the glass beads in the Tianxuan mirror.
After a while, the pharmacy collected twenty-three glass beads.
Because the quality of this batch of glass beads varied, Li Fan was finally rewarded with 21 contribution points.
Current total contribution: 26 points.
"It's too little, only enough for two days of practice." Li Fan shook his head.
Li Fan took out the gold, silver and the broken monument from the storage ring and asked to exchange them for contribution points.
A moment later, the Tianxuan Mirror sent the result.
"A batch of gold and silver: can be converted into 235 contribution points."
"Rare item in the universe: the broken monument of stopping. Quality: defective. Can be converted into 1968 contribution points."
Li Fan opened the exchange menu of the Tianxuan Mirror and searched for rare items in the world.
To find an intact wonder of heaven and earth, at least 4000 points are required.
The recycling price of the Tianxuan Mirror was directly cut in half.
It’s too dark!
Although there are some flaws, the price shouldn't be halved.
Li Fan's face twitched, but after thinking about it, he decided to exchange it.
The Tianxuan Mirror does not provide anonymous trading function. If you want to trade with other cultivators, you must reveal your true identity.
However, as a cultivator who had just entered the Qi Refining Stage, if he rashly took out this rare foundation-building item, it would certainly attract a lot of attention.
It is likely to bring some unnecessary trouble.
If you choose to trade directly with Tianxuan Mirror, you won’t have to worry so much.
The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is so large that there are countless cultivators who have had fortuitous encounters.
Although it may be extremely rare for a Qi-refining cultivator to possess a foundation-building item in this sea of clouds, it is not a big deal when looking at the entire world of immortal cultivation.
“Confirm Exchange”
The gold, silver and the broken monument slowly disappeared, and Li Fan's contribution reached 2229 points.
After becoming rich overnight, Li Fan did not choose to spend lavishly directly, but first asked Tianxuan Jing about his concerns.
"Will there be any disaster in the Congyun Sea area recently?"
Li Fan told Tianxuan Jing all the unusual things that Zhang Haobo had told him.
The Tianxuan Mirror suddenly fell silent.
After a long time, he replied.
"Please don't worry, monks. These are all normal changes in the heaven and earth. According to calculations, no major disasters will occur in the next ten years."
Since Tianxuan Mirror said so, Li Fan felt relieved.
Then, he thought about it and searched for information about Liuli Dan.
Liuli Dan is an auxiliary elixir, commonly used in the Qi Refining to Foundation Building Stage.
After taking it, your mind will be as clear as glass.
It can achieve an effect similar to "awakening the spirit", increasing the comprehension of the technique and the speed of practice.
And the effect can be superimposed with the auxiliary cultivation of the Tianxuan Mirror.
Since most of the cultivators of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance are traveling outside all year round to accumulate contribution points, their time for cultivation is precious.
Therefore, the Glazed Pill that can improve the efficiency of cultivation becomes even more precious.
Liuli Dan is very popular among Qi-refining and foundation-building cultivators, and the price of one pill fluctuates between five and six contribution points.
Li Fan took a look and found that the current price was 6 points per coin.
"The Glazed Fish is almost extinct due to unknown reasons, so the price of Glazed Pills is bound to rise." Li Fan thought about it, and then spent 2,100 contribution points to buy 350 Glazed Pills at Tianxuan Mirror.
Afterwards, he explained to Tianxuan Jing that the Liuli fish school on Liuli Island was almost gone.
The Tianxuan Mirror was silent for a while, only emitting slight fluctuations.
After a while, Li Fan received a reward of 1 contribution point.
This is the Tianxuan Mirror that has confirmed the authenticity of the news.
That’s right, you can also gain contribution points by providing information to Tianxuan Mirror.
The higher the value of the message, the more reward you will get.
According to common sense, the value of the information provided by Li Fan must be more than 1 contribution point.
Maybe Li Fan's hoarding behavior seemed a bit bad in Tianxuan Mirror, so he was only rewarded 1 point.
Li Fan didn't care.
This time, his goal has been achieved.
First, it proved that the Tianxuan Mirror didn't know what happened after he left Wanxian Island. In other words, as long as he left Wanxian Island, he wouldn't have to worry about the Tianxuan Mirror spying on him.
Second, it proved that the Tianxuan Mirror did have its own will. This can be seen from the fact that he only gave 1 contribution point to disgust Li Fan.
The third reason, of course, is to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune.
The market's reaction was quite quick.
The price of Liuli Dan suddenly soared in a short period of time, from 6 points per piece to 9 points per piece.
