Chapter 192: The Bubble of Greed
Chapter 191 – Greedy Bubbles
“Smell a business opportunity? What does that mean?” Li Fan asked as he sized up Jiao Xiuyuan with interest.
Jiao Xiuyuan had a winning face, “Just like someone who is able to avoid harm. I, Jiao Xiuyuan, have been able to easily find the one that earns huge profits from countless complicated and useless information since I was young! This is instinct and talent. No one else can envy it!”
He glanced at Li Fan again and said, “Just now, the moment my fellow Daoist friend left me, an incomparable loss welled up in my heart.”
“It’s as if I saw with my own eyes a huge pile of contribution degrees leaving me, and my heart was dripping blood!”
“Therefore, I’m certain that what Fellow Daoist said is true!” Jiao Xiuyuan concluded.
Li Fan was a bit surprised, not realizing that he really had such a talent.
However, recalling the scene from the previous contact with Jiao Xiuyuan, Li Fan slowly nodded his head again.
“Since this is the case, what price are you ready to offer, fellow Daoist?”
Jiao Xiuyuan pondered for a moment and compared it to three.
“What does this mean? Three thousand contribution points?” Li Fan looked at it for a while, failing to understand what it represented, and was puzzled.
Jiao Xiuyuan said in a deep voice, “Thirty percent. Thirty percent of the revenue brought in by you, Daoist Friend, for providing this message.”
Li Fan’s eyes narrowed, somewhat disbelieving, “So generous?”
Jiao Xiuyuan then smiled, “After all, Fellow Daoist is not a man of business, and does not understand what kind of value an over-the-top, opportune piece of news actually has.”
“Under certain circumstances, a piece of news can be even more profitable a hundred or a thousand times over.”
“As long as you pay thirty percent of the price, you can get a thousand times the profit, so why not do it?” Jiao Xiuyuan’s eyes were filled with shrewdness.
Li Fan couldn’t help but applaud, “What you, Fellow Daoist, have said is very true, but words are not proof. How can I make sure that you, Taoist friend, will flip the script when the time comes?”
Jiao Xiuyuan kindly said, “It seems that you, Taoist friend, really don’t know much about the business way. When doing business, of course there are rules for doing business.”
He pulled out a piece of golden foil paper from somewhere, and using his hand as a pen, he quickly wrote down the agreed matters on it.
After giving Li Fan a glance as a sign of confirmation, he wrote down his name without hesitation.
“Fellow Daoist, please!” He handed the foil paper to Li Fan.
Li Fan read it carefully again and eventually wrote down the name of the doppelganger as well: Lin Fan.
The golden foil paper suddenly transformed into three copies, two of which flew towards Jiao Xiuyuan and Li Fan, while the other flew into the sky, not knowing where it eventually traveled to.
A few moments later, Li Fan felt an inexplicable power descend on the doppelganger.
This power limited and constrained the split body, and it had to complete the matters agreed upon on the golden foil.
It was as if it had become its own will, with no remorse.
Instead, it will take the initiative to fulfill the agreement.
“The power to change the perception of the mind ……” Noticing the inexplicable change in his heart, the doppelganger was violently startled.
Immediately afterward, he sensed that Li Fan’s main body, which was located within the Heavenly Xuan Mirror, was unaffected.
“The Stealing Heaven and Changing Sun Technique, it is truly divine.” At that moment, he could not help but let out a sigh of relief as Li Fan praised in his heart.
On the side of the doppelganger, due to the power of the golden foil, he immediately opened his mouth to recount the news that the Spirit Mist Grass Island might have been attacked by the foreign beast Dragon Whale, and that all of the Spirit Mist Grass on the island had been destroyed.
“The Spirit Mist Grass island was destroyed?” Jiao Xiuyuan’s eyes became incomparably greedy when he heard this.
“Fellow Daoist, wait for me to poke around!”
With that, he closed his eyes.
After a long time, he snapped his eyes open, “The information is correct!”
He paced back and forth excitedly, “Cong Yunhai Spirit Mist Island is one of the largest cultivation sites for Spirit Mist Grass. At the very least, one-fifth of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance’s Spirit Mist Grass originates from here.”
“Now that all the Spirit Mist Grass on the island has been destroyed, the price of Spirit Mist Grass is bound to skyrocket in a short period of time.”
“Along with that, the prices of by-products such as Hidden Shape Talismans are also going to skyrocket.”
Suddenly, he stumbled on his feet and frowned slightly, “But, after all, it’s only something used at the Foundation Establishment to Jindan Stage, plus it’s also grown in other places. Even if the price will go up, at most it will only go up by half and that’s about it.”
“Compared to the business opportunity I foresee in my meditation, it’s too far off.”
“What exactly is the problem?”
After thinking for a long time, he didn’t find an answer. Jiao Xiuyuan instantly became a bit annoyed.
A disturbing aura began to emerge from his body.
Li Fan listened to Jiao Xiuyuan’s mutterings and was also puzzled.
The various anecdotes that he had heard before crossing over; He Zhenghao and a small group of other people were rubbing their fists and planning to take this opportunity to make a fortune; after the price of Spirit Mist Grass went up, it instantly caused a bunch of people to follow the trend……
With all the clues strung together, Li Fan instantly understood.
He patted Jiao Xiuyuan’s shoulder and said in a deep voice, “This time, the business opportunity does not lie in the Spirit Mist Grass, but in the people!”
Jiao Xiuyuan froze slightly, his eyes first filled with some confusion.
Then he instantly came to his senses and said with great joy, “Fellow Daoist woke up the dreamer with a single word! Not bad, the tens of times of profit gained lies in the people and not in the grass!”
While waking up Jiao Xiuyuan, Li Fan’s original self also purchased Spirit Mist Grass in the Tianxuan Mirror.
Unfortunately, after a lot of consumption on his body, there were only more than two thousand points of contribution left, so it could only be considered as Liao is better than nothing.
Jiao Xiuyuan’s aura changed at this moment, no longer the previous obscene appearance, but an inexplicable dominance: “Counting people to gain, I need to be a banker.”
“The so-called give up the child, set not the wolf.”
Also did not see him have what action, but a moment later, Li Fan will see, the price of the spirit mist grass, with the naked eye visible speed began to soar.
19, 20, 21……
In an instant, the price of the Spirit Mist Grass skyrocketed to 22 points.
“The Thousand Mile Hall …… that spreads throughout the Immortal Cultivation World,” Li Fan’s eyelids jumped straight up, this Jiao Xiuyuan, really didn’t talk big.
And at this time, Jiao Xiuyuan’s actions had only just begun.
“Since I am already a banker, I shall invite all the guests to take their seats.” He let out a low chuckle.
Afterward, it was as if he had fallen into a deep sleep, not moving a muscle.
For a time, the Thousand Miles Hall was plunged into silence.
Li Fan, however, knew what he was doing.
Jiao Xiuyuan was definitely using his countless puppets spread throughout the Immortal Cultivation World to spread the news of the destruction of the Spirit Mist Grass Island with all his might.
It will take time for things to ferment, so just wait patiently.
Right at this moment, He Zhenghao’s extremely excited transmission arrived late.
“Fellow Daoist Li Fan! Do you remember when I told you that I would bring you a big profit?”
“Now the opportunity has come!”
“I’ve gotten exact news that the island where the Spirit Mist Grass was planted was attacked by a foreign beast, and all of the Spirit Mist Grass on the island was destroyed.”
“The price of Spirit Mist Grass will definitely skyrocket!”
“If you don’t believe me, in a short period of time, it’s already risen from 18 points to 22 points!”
“But it doesn’t matter, it’s sure to rise again!”
“The opportunity is not to be missed, Daoists make a move quickly!”
An inexplicable smile surfaced at the corner of Li Fan’s mouth and he quickly replied, “Thanks, fellow Daoist He, I’ve already bought the whole position.”
……
When the bubble descended, everyone understood that this bubble would burst as soon as it was poked.
However, in front of the huge profits, everyone lost their minds and rose to the occasion.
When Jiao Xiuyuan’s countless puppets began to power up, a piece of news began to spread through the Immortal Cultivation World.
And the more it spread, the wider it became, gradually becoming known by everyone.
The price of Spirit Mist Grass, was going up.
Thus, the bubble began its first expansion.
