Chapter 603: The Final Product of Immortal Cultivation
"My way is to [business] and [profit]."
Jiao Xiuyuan said with some emotion: "All the people in the world go there for profit. The way of business is abundant in the world."
"So I refined thousands of puppets, and watched the gains and losses of the human world, and used this to practice."
"The accumulation of assets is always very rapid in the beginning. Almost one level higher every day, my realm is also climbing step by step."
"But after reaching a certain level, the expansion of Qianlitang slowed down."
"My cultivation has been stagnant for a long time. I originally thought that I could rely on the enlightenment gained from this huge profit to force my way up. However, I didn't expect that I would still be a little short of the mark."
“When you see a mountain, you run to your death. You thought it was right in front of you, but you didn’t know there were thousands of mountains and valleys ahead.”
Li Fan listened to Jiao Xiuyuan's sigh, and thought of the huge gap between the Hedao and the Hedao he had seen not long ago, and then thought of the huge gap between the Hedao realm and the Changsheng realm.
I couldn't help but praise in my heart and nodded slightly.
At this time, Jiao Xiuyuan said, "Besides, I find that the business world is already full of obstacles and it is difficult to take a step forward. It is extremely difficult to make further progress!"
Without waiting for Li Fan to ask, he answered himself: "Take the last Puxian True Leaf incident as an example. Under absolutely ideal conditions, we could have definitely made more money. From a purely [business] perspective, the price of Puxian True Leaf had already risen to the sky. The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance controls the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven, where the number of Puxian True Leaves is extremely abundant. We could have profited from it, but a piece of notice brought everything back to square one."
"They say it's for stability, but it's not just for their own interests..." Jiao Xiuyuan muttered.
Li Fan thought for a moment, "Fellow Daoist Jiao means that profit must be earned from others. Once you reach a certain level, if you want to go further, you will inevitably come into conflict with others."
"That's right!" Jiao Xiuyuan praised.
"If the opponent is weak, of course you can just crush him to death. But if the opponent is a solid wall, you will get a bloody head if you crash into it."
“At this time, we have to go around the wall.”
"But this world is ultimately under the rule of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the Five Elders Council. It is not easy to avoid their constraints."
"Dancing in shackles is naturally a hundred times more difficult."
After listening to this, Li Fan sneered and said, "In that case, it's not your fault. It's the fault of this world!"
"It's really unpleasant to be controlled by others everywhere. Why don't you join me to overthrow the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and rebuild the world? How do you think?"
Jiao Xiuyuan suddenly fell silent.
He looked at Li Fan with a strange look.
For a moment, a strange silence fell between the two.
"Haha, fellow Taoist, you are joking."
"Haha, it's just a joke, Brother Jiao, you're not taking it seriously, are you?"
A moment later, two voices rang out at the same time.
After looking at each other, they chose to skip this topic.
"Speaking of which, fellow Daoist, in your mind, what would it be like when your Dao is developed to its extreme?" Li Fan asked.
Jiao Xiuyuan pondered for a moment and slowly replied: "The total amount of assets in the world is limited. Those who gain become richer, and those who lose become poorer."
"If I continue to make profits, the wealth of the world will continue to flow to me. Then one day..."
"Perhaps I alone have more wealth than all the rest of the world combined."
Jiao Xiuyuan's eyes showed longing.
Unexpectedly, after listening to it, Li Fan chuckled.
Jiao Xiuyuan raised his eyebrows: "Why, what do you think, fellow Taoist?"
"Too small, too narrow-minded. I thought Brother Jiao was one of the smartest people in the world, but I never expected..." Li Fan shook his head slightly, looking very regretful.
"Hmm?" A gloomy look flashed across Jiao Xiuyuan's eyes.
“If it is really the ultimate, why do people in the world still have assets?” Li Fan smiled slightly.
"Shouldn't it be that everything in the world belongs to you? And the rest of us owe you?"
"Fellow Daoist, you must know that the total amount of wealth in the world has an upper limit. But..."
Li Fan said in a grim tone: "There is no limit to the amount of money that others owe to fellow Taoists."
"Tens, hundreds, thousands, millions, and billions can be accumulated infinitely."
"Not only in this life, but also in all the lives to come, and to my countless descendants, I will have to toil forever to repay the debts I owe to my fellow Taoists!"
Li Fan's words were like thunder, instantly hitting Jiao Xiuyuan.
The gloom in his eyes instantly dissipated, and his face was filled with shock.
"return……"
"Is it still possible?"
What Li Fan said seemed to open up a whole new world for him.
There was confusion in his eyes at first, then they became brighter and brighter, and more and more excited.
After a while, he seemed to realize something.
“Not bad, not bad!”
"In a lifetime, profits are limited."
"But time is infinite. If I were to spread the goals I want to achieve across the long river of time..."
Jiao Xiuyuan was immersed in his own fantasy, with bright eyes.
"Daoist Li Fan, is this the way to the future that you have deduced for me?"
After a long time, he finally came to his senses and looked at Li Fan.
Li Fan shook his head: "I don't dare to give you any advice. It's just that I saw a glimpse of a possible future scenario during my daily deduction one day."
“I felt that perhaps this world could be of benefit to Daoist Fellow Jiao, so I wrote it down.”
"I saw you today, so I just took it out to share with you."
"Fellow Daoist Jiao, please don't think my thoughts are absurd!"
Jiao Xiuyuan's eyes flickered: "Daoyou's ability to deduce is truly unprecedented. You can actually foresee such a strange future."
"However, fellow Taoist came to me today and gave me some special advice..."
He looked at Li Fan, somewhat puzzled.
Li Fan smiled and said, "I told you that you have become rich and turned your back on me, but you still refuse to admit it."
"Fellow Daoist, have you forgotten my previous commission?"
Jiao Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, then reacted.
"You mean..."
"With your level of cultivation, it is impossible for you to forget. But you haven't replied for such a long time, I guess you have something to hide. But unfortunately, this matter is quite important to me. So, I can only shamelessly bother you, fellow Daoist Jiao!" Li Fan bowed and said solemnly.
Jiao Xiuyuan looked at Li Fan, and his expression changed in an instant.
Five years ago, he promised Li Fan to help find out the identity of the ancient monk that the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance was looking for by digging up the ruins of the ancient sect.
He did.
At first, I didn't take it seriously. I just wanted to find out some information and get it over with.
However, what surprised him was that the Wanxian League had always been leaky and difficult to keep any secrets.
The confidentiality work this time went unexpectedly well.
Even though he had been investigating for a whole year or two, he still gained nothing.
