Chapter 203: Fifty Years of Selling Yourself
Chapter 202 – Selling Your Body for Fifty Years
Hearing what Li Fan said, He Zhenghao was slightly stunned and showed a puzzled look on his face.
However, Li Fan did not give him time to react and think at all, and in an instant, he operated the [Returning the Truth] simulated [Seven Orifices Linglong Heart] ability to compel people to the extreme.
“I, at the age of twenty-nine, am at the late stage of Foundation Establishment. What do you think, Fellow Daoist, of my natural talent?” Li Fan looked at He Zhenghao with a torch-like gaze and forced the question.
“Exceptionally gifted, rare in this world.” He Zhenghao couldn’t help but reply.
“I, the bull’s-eye, then on the Spirit Mist Grass investment, made a windfall of 600,000 contribution degrees, others went bankrupt and I got rich. Fellow Daoist thinks, how is my ability?” Li Fan asked again.
It seemed to say that He Zhenghao was in pain, he gave Li Fan a grudging look, before replying, “You have a sharp vision and a keen intuition. I am far inferior!”
Li Fan added, “Within this Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, all the ordinary cultivators are like cattle and horses. Without power and background, it’s as difficult as climbing up to the sky if you want to get ahead. Do you think so?”
He Zhenghao nodded, “What Fellow Daoist says is very true.”
Li Fan obediently patted He Zhenghao’s shoulder and said in a serious tone, “It is precisely because of this that you and I need to embrace each other even more.”
He Zhenghao felt that what Li Fan said made some sense, but before he could think about it in detail, he heard Li Fan ask with concern, “You’ve joined the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance for quite a few years, right?”
He Zhenghao thought about it and showed a reminiscent look, “Yes, it’s almost about to be more than a hundred years.”
Hearing this, Li Fan shook his head repeatedly, “Over a hundred years, and it’s only the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. I have also heard you say that you are quite a bit thin on the Ten Thousand Immortals Island. However, your hard-earned connections, for your cultivation, how much of a role do you actually have? I’m afraid it’s minimal?”
He Zhenghao was about to retort, his mouth opened, but he was unable to spit out half a word.
Because what Li Fan said was indeed not false.
“That’s because, what you are operating, are all useless relationships. If your value is still there, they will naturally smile and be courteous. But if one day you lose all your cultivation, what will they do? Will they still look at you favorably? What’s more, they and you are also absolutely only on the surface of the relationship good only. If it really involves their own interests, heh …… “Li Fan followed the good advice.
He Zheng Hao could not help but fall into deep thought.
“In short, you, Taoist friend, are not looking for the right real backer and are following the wrong people!”
“But if you followed me, it would be very different.”
“This person of mine, I value brotherhood the most. Speaking of sharing the same blessings, and sharing the same difficulties.” Li Fan was full of righteousness and said heatedly.
“Let’s take the YuanYing gong method that you begged for and couldn’t get ……” Li Fan said here and paused, drawing He ZhengHao’s attention completely over.
“If you are dead set on working behind me. Then it’s not impossible for me to lend you two hundred and fifty thousand contribution degrees so that you can exchange the first it for cultivation!” Li Fan said firmly.
He Zhenghao heard the words, but as if after being struck by lightning, his body trembled and was completely nonchalant: “Is this true?”
“Oh, I, Li Fan, have always been a promise and a promise!”
“I have heard that this YuanYing technique that you desire seems to be quite compatible with your Foundation Establishment?”
He Zhenghao nodded his head repeatedly, “That’s right, that gong method is called the Mountain River Hidden Dragon Gong. If I can switch to this gong method, I will definitely be able to achieve Jindan within fifty years. Even breaking through to the Yuanying realm is a sure thing.”
After saying that, he looked at Li Fan with bated breath, wanting to say something.
“Two hundred and fifty thousand contribution degrees, if you, Taoist friend, were to re-accumulate them, you would have to waste a long time again, right? If you can redeem the technique early and break through to the Jindan realm a few decades earlier, I’m afraid that your future achievements will be completely different!”
The longing in He Zhenghao’s eyes grew stronger.
After a long while, after some thought, He Zhenghao finally said, “If you can lend me the contribution degree, I will certainly be the only one who looks up to you in everything in the future.”
Li Fan laughed and pulled out a golden foil paper from his storage ring, using his hand as a pen, he quickly wrote several lines on it.
After that, he smiled and handed it to He Zhenghao, “Words are not proof, if you agree, sign this [Business Deed Book]!”
This golden [Commercial Deed Book] was clearly the kind that the doppelganger had signed with Jiao Xiuyuan before.
It was said to have been passed down from the Five Elders Association side, and was a simplified version of the Five Elders Association’s [Divine Soul Deed].
Once both parties signed it, they could be bound by the power of the contract and spontaneously act in accordance with the matters agreed upon in the contract. He Zhenghao carefully read up on the terms in the deed.
“Cultivator Li Fan hereby borrows two hundred and fifty thousand Contribution Degrees to Cultivator He Zheng Hao at an annual interest rate of one percent.”
“Both parties agree to pay it back in fifty years time.”
“During this period, He Zhenghao and Li Fan form an alliance of interests with Li Fan as the core. In advance that will not drastically jeopardize their own interests, He Zhenghao will fully accommodate Li Fan’s requests and opinions.”
“Li Fan, on the other hand, should use his discretion to reduce the interest for the year based on He Zhenghao’s performance each year.”
……
He Zhenghao frowned slightly, but then quickly loosened it.
In his opinion, the content of this [Commercial Deed Book] was actually not harsh.
It was even a bit favorable.
After all, two hundred and fifty thousand contribution points, for a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, it could be a huge sum of money.
Who would be willing to lend so many contribution points to a Foundation Establishment cultivator at such a low interest rate?
Not to mention, there was also the opportunity to reduce the interest every year.
All that needed to be done was simply to do something for Li Fan.
It was nothing more than a part-time job in disguise.
Compared to the Five Elders Association’s side, the [Divine Soul Deed] of unconditionally selling one’s life, this deed was still very generous.
He Zhenghao thought so.
Thus, after hesitating for a while, he slowly wrote his name on the [Commercial Deed].
Seeing this, Li Fan’s face showed joy.
With his pen, he signed his big name.
The handwriting settled, and the contract was finalized.
The golden light instantly transformed into three copies, one flying into the sky.
The other two copies surged into Li Fan and He Zhenghao respectively.
“From now on, we are our own people.” Li Fan smiled and patted He Zhenghao’s shoulder and said.
He Zhenghao also felt that Li Fan was becoming more and more affectionate.
“Do you have a Tian Xuan Small Mirror on your side? I’ll transfer the contribution to you.” Li Fan took the initiative and said.
“Yes, there is.” He Zhenghao immediately took out the Tianxuan Small Mirror from his storage ring.
A few moments later, two hundred and fifty thousand contribution points were smoothly in his hand.
He Zhenghao immediately turned red with excitement and couldn’t wait to exchange the Mountain River Hidden Dragon Technique.
A golden jade slip appeared in his hand, the YuanYing True Skill that he had longed for was finally in his hand, He ZhengHao couldn’t help but feel his heart surge.
Bowing towards Li Fan, He Zheng Hao said, “Many thanks, fellow Daoist!”
Li Fan narrowed his eyes and waved his hand, “We are all on our own, what’s the point of being polite.”
“Since the gongfu is already in your hands, why don’t you take a look at how effective it is? Is it really as suitable as you said? I will guard the technique for you!” Li Fan suggested.
