Chapter 172: Nothing New
Chapter 171 – Nothing New
After coming out of the Qingfeng Hall with 2,700 Spirit Mist Grasses in his pocket, Li Fan skulked around the surrounding area for a while longer, hoping to find some more hidden small loan organizations.
Unfortunately, it didn’t work out as expected.
Li Fan returned to the Tian Xuan Mirror and secretly calculated.
“The price of the Spirit Mist Grass will briefly rise to 25 contribution points in the near future, I want to get rid of all of them before then.”
“After the news of the discovery of the Wood Attribute Cave Sky spreads, the price will avalanche. It keeps falling to 6 contribution points before stabilizing.”
“At that time, I’ll just buy another 3,510 plants to return to Qingfeng Hall.”
“One by one, I’ll be able to earn almost 40,000 contribution points.”
“Tsk, so little.”
“It’s still too hard to make money. ……”
It was difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Accustomed to contributions in units of 100,000, the growth of a mere 30,000 to 40,000 just couldn’t raise the energy.
However, the accumulation of capital was often the toughest in the beginning. When it reaches an order of magnitude and snowballs, the growth of wealth becomes faster and faster.
“In this life, it shouldn’t be possible to develop the Dharma Transition business in a big way like before. It seems to be due to the need to strictly control the number of cultivators, and the cultivation world’s reaction to this is far more intense than I could have imagined. The might of Harmonization is not something that the current me can fight against.” Li Fan pondered carefully.
“The 400,000 contribution degrees from Zhang Zhiliang’s place, however, cannot be given up.”
“In this life, there is still a need for someone to push the group of Transfigured Gods from Ten Thousand Immortal Islands to fight against Red Flame.”
“Only, perhaps it can be a different target.”
A fat figure suddenly surfaced in Li Fan’s mind.
“Zhang Haobo, has strange luck but no heavenly luck. Although he was able to rely on the power of Cong Yunhai’s fight to the death to decapitate Red Flame and successfully merge with the Dao with his Jindan.”
“But in the face of the Ink Slayer that descended next, it was put to death without the slightest resistance.”
“The qi is exhausted, the body dies and the Dao fades.”
“If the qi was a little stronger, would the ending be different?”
“Of course, the main thing is. I’ve already comprehended all of the twenty-eight swords of Cong Yun now, and Zhang Haobo will be useless to me even if he comes again.”
“That Ye Feipeng has a peculiar destiny, if I give him enough help, I may not be able to really give me a surprise.”
“Complemented by the Sitting Mountain Decision ……”
“I wonder, if he succeeds in merging with the Dao, how much cultivation can he feed back. Will it be able to push me to the Jindan realm?”
“Of course, guiding this person will have to be done in a different way. If Zhang Haobo moves with emotion, this person will have to be enticed with profit.”
After some scheming, Li Fan already had a plan in his mind.
The reason why the agent was still chosen to perform the act of merging the Dao, rather than Li Fan personally going on to attempt it.
Naturally, it was because the risk involved was too high.
The black-clothed Harmonized Dao was able to nearly freeze Li Fan’s mind, and there was even less to say about Mo Killer, whose strength was clearly still on top of it.
Even Zhang Haobo, who had just merged with the Dao, was obliterated without being able to react in time, so how could Li Fan ensure that he would be an exception?
There was the probability of success, and there was also the probability of failure and being obliterated. The probability of failure was not small.
Once it failed, there could be no chance to start over again.
There was no need for Li Fan to gamble.
“We can wait until the dust settles from the Spirit Mist Grass incident, and then go to the Offworld Layout.”
“For now… ……”
Li Fan searched for a way to join the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
Soon, a bunch of information popped up.
There were several ways to join the system if you wanted to hold a certain position in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. The first one was to participate in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance’s examination that was held once every 10 years.
And in order to participate in the examination, one must also fulfill several conditions. For example, one needs to have joined the Wan Xian League for thirty years, one’s cultivation level must be at the Foundation Establishment Stage or above, one must have a skill, etc….
Simply put, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance does not keep idle or useless people.
The second type is to have a cultivator with a high position in the Wanxian League as a guarantee to recommend a late-comer cultivator for the position. Only after passing a three-year probationary period can they be officially appointed.
Simply put, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance does not keep idle or useless people. Unless there is someone above.
The third kind, is the more special one. Completing a specific bounty mission. For example, killing a key figure of a certain Five Elders Association, or accomplishing a certain key task.
It was rumored that Zhou Qingang, the Town Guard of Tai’an Island, was formally inducted into the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance through this method.
Li Fan was interested in what He Zhenghao said about the authority being raised to a certain level and being able to redeem feats that could not even be seen before.
This was because Li Fan had discovered that the power of the merit laws that the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance routinely provided and was able to redeem were generally limited.
Possibly for the reason of limiting the combat power of the regular cultivators of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, the feats that Li Fan had seen in the Ten Thousand Xuan Mirrors in these lifetimes did not have any truly divine feats.
Not to mention being comparable to the Twenty-eight Swords of Cong Yun, even those that could rival the Divine Sword of the Fixed Sea were rare.
However, Li Fan thought about it, and this was as it should be. If the oxen and horses become able to produce a threat, then it is still oxen and horses? Wouldn’t they want to turn the sky over? Of course, there should be some limitations.
For the system’s own people, natural treatment is different. As long as you have enough authority, all kinds of divine power have everything.
The benefits of the system naturally needed no elaboration. Li Fan scrutinized those special bounty missions.
Looking at them, Li Fan frowned. For the reason that he hadn’t paid attention to this aspect before, Li Fan didn’t have a clue about any of these missions. However, Li Fan soon discovered something strange about them.
Of these missions, only a very few did have some reward value. For example, tracing the trail of a certain Five Elders Association spy, or handily killing a certain Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance traitor.
The vast majority of the missions, however, were extremely ……
Customizability?
It was as if the reward missions were specially created just for a certain cultivator.
For example, one of the quests that Li Fan had seen was particularly odd.
Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance Heavenly Chance Hall, because of the demand for measuring heavenly chances, needed to recruit a cultivator between the ages of 123-130, with the surname Wu, whose cultivation technique was a fire attribute technique, and whose cultivation level was in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.
It was so close to naming the candidate and directly designating him.
Li Fan is no stranger to this practice. The so-called a carrot.
However, he did not expect that the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance had now developed to this point.
After selecting left and right, Li Fan did not find a suitable task for himself.
And the once-in-a-decade examination had only just passed a short while ago.
Li Fan, who had no doorway, then once again inquired about Daoist He, who never let anyone down.
He Zhenghao still replied quickly.
“Fellow Daoist wants to officially join the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance? Eh, that’s a bit difficult. The main reason is that fellow Daoist has only just joined the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance a short while ago.”
“But well, it’s not without a solution.”
“I still have some friendship with Formation Master Gong Bo Yu. He has some formation repairer entry slots every year.”
“All it takes is spending a little bit of contribution to get the position.”
“Just need to work hard in this position for a year or two, and then you can make another connection and mobilize to another position.”
“Hehe, that’s only if I talk to you, fellow Daoist, about this. Fellow Daoist don’t feel free to proclaim it outside.”
“The impact is not good.”
I’m traveling out of town today, so I can only do one shift.
