Chapter 74: No Moment of Rest
In Wanxian Island, the abnormal fluctuation in the price of Lingwu Grass has long caused a lot of controversy.
After a little inquiry, Li Fan understood the whole story.
As expected, someone set up a trap and severely reaped the rewards from monks like He Zhenghao who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to profit.
The destruction of the island where Lingwu grass was grown was true, so after the news was confirmed, many people decisively entered the market, hoping to make a fortune.
But what they didn't know was that the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance recently discovered a cave that had been closed for a thousand years.
It is said that the place is full of wood-attributed spiritual energy and is filled with various rare spiritual plants.
The Lingwu grass was all over the ground.
You can kill several plants with one step.
Before this, only the top leaders of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance knew about this.
It was not until people in the market were fighting each other for Lingwu Grass that the news was suddenly released.
No wonder the price of Lingwu grass suddenly plummeted later.
"It seems that it is impossible for Fellow Daoist He to make back his investment." Li Fan said with regret with a smile.
"However, this boss is not very kind in what he does."
Li Fan checked the transaction records in the Tianxuan Mirror.
Qingmu Huasheng Zhenjun.
It was this person who first raised the price of Lingwu Grass. Then, during the game between long and short positions, he dealt the final fatal blow, severely smashing the price of Lingwu Grass.
It's obvious that he is an insider who has known the news for a long time.
Li Fan secretly complained in his heart.
However, if Yuanying Zhenjun takes action, those who have suffered losses may not have the courage to cause trouble for him.
You can only swallow your anger and consider yourself unlucky.
Li Fan even couldn't help but maliciously speculate that the island where the Lingwu grass was planted might have been secretly destroyed by this Yuanying Zhenjun.
"The market is really dangerous." Li Fan shook his head.
Just when Li Fan was gloating, He Zhenghao's message came.
"Fellow Daoist, I have sold all the supplies that I brought from the outside world this time." He Zhenghao's voice became weak, as if his body had been hollowed out.
"A total of 2,342 contribution points were obtained. As agreed beforehand, you and I will each take half."
Although He Zhenghao suffered heavy losses in this investment, he did not embezzle the compensation that Li Fan deserved.
After receiving 1171 contribution points from He Zhenghao, plus the remaining 125 points, Li Fan's current contribution point has reached 1296 points, which is barely enough for a while.
After thinking about it, Li Fan did not choose to go into seclusion immediately, but instead searched for information about Jiao Xiuyuan.
I heard before that this person could obtain a large number of hidden talismans from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance Talisman Hall. Obviously, he has connections. I just took the opportunity to buy some talismans to see if I can get any information about Si Kong Yi from him.
From the inside to the outside, Wanxian Island is roughly divided into three parts.
In the innermost core area are the official buildings of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
Such as the meeting hall, martial arts hall, medicine hall, talisman hall, etc.
The middle area is a series of caves that have been opened up. If you have enough contribution points, you can buy one here.
No need to live in the small space allocated by the Tianxuan Mirror anymore.
The cave is fully equipped with all the necessary facilities. Everything that can be done in the Tianxuan Mirror space can also be done in the cave.
The outermost area is a mixture of commercial and residential areas.
The Dharma Transmission Square and the Tianxuan Mirror are also located at the junction of this place and the central cave area.
The residence here can only provide the most basic function of staying. Without spiritual energy amplification, it is impossible to connect to the Tianxuan Mirror. If you want to practice, you still have to return to the Tianxuan Mirror space.
As for the commercial area, it is a collection of shops that are independent of the Tianxuanjing trading system and are opened by various cultivators themselves.
The prices of goods in these shops are often lower than those in the Tianxuan Mirror, but the quality is also not guaranteed.
Jiao Xiuyuan opened a shop here.
According to the information obtained from the Tianxuan Mirror, Li Fan came to the corresponding location.
Thousand Miles Hall.
Li Fan looked up at the slightly crooked plaque and walked in.
The shop was not big, and the floor was filled with miscellaneous items. A man's voice could be heard faintly.
"I'm telling you, these ten Hidden Shape Talismans will definitely be traded at the price we agreed upon before. I don't care how low the price is now..."
"What? You're canceling the deal? You don't even want the deposit!"
Bang!
"Damn! Another one! You think I, Jiao Xiuyuan, am easy to bully?" A bearded man with dark complexion slammed the table and roared angrily.
But he immediately became depressed, muttering softly, "It's over, it's over. I, Jiao Xiuyuan, never do business at a loss, but I didn't expect to lose so many hidden talismans in my hands..."
Only then did he notice that there were customers in the store.
But his face couldn't be seen clearly, obviously he had used a hiding talisman.
Jiao Xiuyuan had seen many people like this, so he didn't take it seriously.
"What do you want? Formation talismans, magic weapons, elixirs, everything you need. Large quantities are better!" he said lazily.
"How much is the Hidden Shape Talisman?" the other party asked.
Jiao Xiuyuan's eyes suddenly lit up and he became energetic.
"10 contribution points for one. How many do you want? If you want more than ten, I'll give you a 20% discount. If you want more than a hundred, I'll give you a 50% discount!"
Li Fan smiled and said, "Why would I need so many? Five or six are enough."
After a pause, Li Fanfu continued, "And your price is not right, isn't it? I bought a Hidden Shape Talisman from the Tianxuan Mirror before I came here. It can block the view of Jindan cultivators, and the current price is only 20 points. You are selling these defective products at such a high price?"
Jiao Xiuyuan's face twitched when he heard that, and he quickly changed his words, "8 points per piece, it can't be any lower. You have to know that refining talismans itself has costs!"
"Okay, give me six." Li Fan didn't bargain any more.
Fearing that Li Fan would go back on his word, Jiao Xiuyuan quickly took out six hiding talismans.
“How do you trade?”
The Tianxuan Mirror does not support anonymous transactions. If the contribution points of both parties are traded directly, their identities will inevitably be exposed.
However, Li Fan had already made some preparations before coming.
"Spirit stones." He took out five medium-grade spirit stones from his storage ring and handed them over.
Standardized spirit stones are jointly manufactured by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the Five Elders Association. They are divided into different grades and are equivalent to the legal currency in the world of immortal cultivation. They have unique anti-counterfeiting restrictions.
The exchange ratio between top-grade, upper-grade, mid-grade, and lower-grade spirit stones is 10:1.
In the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, one low-grade spirit stone can be exchanged for one contribution point in the Tianxuan Mirror.
The five medium-grade spirit stones that Li Fan handed over at this time were equivalent to 50 contribution points.
"Don't give me any extra."
Li Fan put away the Hiding Talisman and asked naturally, "Will you accept the business of gathering intelligence on the monks?"
Jiao Xiuyuan immediately became alert when he heard this.
He looked at Li Fan, thought for a long time, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Take it, why not. I'm losing a lot of money in business. If I don't take some private work, I won't be able to make a living!"
"What's your name and what's your cultivation level?" Jiao Xiuyuan asked quietly.
"Sikong Yi, middle stage of Qi Refining."
