Chapter 205: Big Things Need to Be Made Big
Chapter 204 – A Great Event Needs to Be Transformed
After comprehending the subtleties of the finished Sitting Mountain Resolve for most of the day, Li Fan purchased a blank [Deed of Sale of Feats] from the Heavenly Xuan Mirror.
It was roughly the same as what Li Fan had signed when he sold the Thousand Mechanisms Jade Huan Gold Chapter to the Tianxuan Mirror earlier.
However, since most cultivators had confidentiality requirements for the feats they practiced, the buyer of this deed could be anonymous.
This kind of deed, five hundred contribution degrees a piece. It was much cheaper than the ordinary [Commercial Deed Book] of one thousand contribution degrees.
The format was fixed, and one only needed to fill in the seller, the name of the gongfu, and the selling price on it.
Li Fan changed his handwriting and wrote down He Zhenghao, Sitting Mountain Decree, and fifty-five thousand contribution degrees in turn.
He then used the Heavenly Xuan Mirror to send it to He Zhenghao.
“Fellow Daoist He, things have been negotiated. The other party is more generous, and the price is five thousand points higher than expected. You should hurry up and sign the deed.”
A few moments later, He Zhenghao’s surprised voice came out, “Thank you, fellow Daoist! I’ll sign it right here, I’ll sign it right here!”
Not long after, a golden light cut through space and drilled into Li Fan’s body.
He Zhenghao forgot about the Sitting Mountain Decree from then on.
Li Fan exchanged another fifty-five Extreme Spirit Stones and handed them over to He Zhenghao.
The transaction was completed since then.
Revolving the [Tai Shang Primordial True Scripture], he transformed his own cultivation techniques as much as he could.
He then spent the better part of a month familiarizing and mastering the dharmas in the Sitting Mountain Decree one by one.
Then, Li Fan did some more experiments.
It was also true that it changed into different Foundation Establishment wonders one after another within the dantian, and with each change, Li Fan cultivated for a period of time.
By doing so, he compared the effect of different oddities on the speed of cultivating the Sitting Mountain Technique.
The result made Li Fan a little disappointed, he currently mastered these heaven and earth oddities, there is not yet with the Sitting Mountain Skill more suitable. The speed of cultivation is similar to each other.
The good thing was that the impact was not very great either. The reason Li Fan looked at the Sitting Mountain Skill was because of its investment function.
In this world, the only person who was currently favored by Li Fan was still He Zhenghao.
Immediately, he closed his eyes, stopped cultivating, and attentively felt the changes in the growth of his cultivation within his body.
A moment later, Li Fan found his target.
A cultivation like out of thin air, although the number is very small, without careful differentiation can not be detected at all.
However, it was as continuous as a fine stream.
Li Fan smiled faintly, “It seems that Fellow Daoist He has progressed well.”
“In my twelfth life, I practiced the Sitting Mountain Decision and invested in quantity. Although the progress was extremely fast, it would attract great powers to hunt me down.”
“In this life, a different program is needed. Investments are based on quality.”
“Invest in the celestial pride of memory and no longer restrain them. Just ferry the law for free and let them cultivate freely, each looking for their own chances.”
“With the fortunes of all the heavenly prides, without the constraints, I’m sure that the speed of cultivation will be far greater than the last time.”
“Coupled with monitoring them with the Phase-less Killing Machine, once they comprehend divine abilities, I will also be able to sense them at any time. Constantly observe and turn it into my own.”
Li Fan’s thoughts spun as he silently pondered.
Previously, Li Fan had already experimented, free ferrying method was equivalent to exchanging contribution for cultivation, a steady profit.
In this life, the contribution degree was quite abundant, enough to support Xiao Heng, Su Xiaomei and their cultivation to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Li Fan pondered that by the time they all cultivated to the late Foundation Establishment Stage, he himself would be able to break through to the Jindan Stage at any rate.
“Just, yet, I need to ponder a foolproof method. After all, when something is given to the door for free, it is inevitable that people will be skeptical and not cherish it.”
……
Just as Li Fan was thinking about how to maximize the effect of [Sit and Enjoy].
On the Island of Ten Thousand Immortals, Zhou Qing’ang’s inexplicable disappearance had finally caught the attention of the people involved.
The Performing Arts Hall sent out a team of Jindan to investigate the matter under the leadership of Elder Gongsun of the Tianji Hall.
At first, after projecting the results of Zhou Qingang’s burial in the belly of a fish, it caused a great shock.
How could a Foundation Establishment cultivator be bitten to death by an ordinary fish?
It must be a conspiracy of the Five Elders Association!
A thorough investigation of the storm was about to be born, and He Zhenghao, who heard the news, was terrified and asked Li Fan to go to Liuli Island to discuss countermeasures. Li Fan calmed him down and told him not to worry, just behave as usual and don’t show any abnormalities.
After that, he submitted the images recorded with the shadow-retaining stone at that time.
However, only the part where he changed his appearance and searched for the nameless island with special stones was retained.
And the part where he dived to the bottom of the sea and conversed with the broken stone human face later on were all deleted.
While submitting it, Li Fan also explained that at that time, he happened to see Zhou Qingang change his appearance and then look sneaky.
Only then did he keep an eye out, quietly followed, and recorded the footage.
As for what happened later, it was impossible to know because of the reason of losing him.
The authenticity of the image was quickly confirmed.
Li Fan also ushered in an investigation by the Tian Ji Hall.
The other party raised a series of questions about when the image was recorded, why he waited for Zhou Qingang to disappear before handing it in, and so on.
“The time it was recorded, it was about twenty-three days ago. I didn’t think much about it at the time, I only felt that this person might be harboring some secret.”
“Who knew that in the time it took to close a door, he would die. Or a ridiculous death like being eaten by a fish!”
“I knew something was wrong, which is why I immediately turned this image in.”
Under the enchantment of the seven-knuckle Linglong Heart, Li Fan showed a somewhat nervous appearance and gave an honest explanation.
A Tian Ji Hall cultivator slowly nodded his head after hearing this.
The people in charge of the investigation then exchanged a few words with each other and let Li Fan leave.
“Don’t leave the island easily if you are fine these days, you may be needed to cooperate with the investigation again at any time.” Before leaving, the other party instructed.
Li Fan nodded his head repeatedly in agreement.
But the second investigation that the other party claimed did not come.
A few days later, Ten Thousand Immortals Island’s previous investigative actions, which had been quite fanfare, suddenly disappeared.
It was as if this matter had never happened, and there had never been such a person as Zhou Qingang.
The bizarre, perverse change in events couldn’t help but get people talking.
However, everyone knew that this matter was a bit bizarre, and they all only discussed it in private.
“Fellow Daoist Li Fan, what on earth is going on here? Isn’t that Zhou Qingang a spy? How did he suddenly die?”
“How come the alliance suddenly stopped investigating again?”
He Zhenghao, who was relieved that the crisis had been lifted, was filled with doubts.
Li Fan thought briefly and figured out what happened.
Smiling, he said, “In my opinion, I’m afraid that the investigation was suddenly terminated precisely because it was found out that Zhou Qingang was a spy.”
“The states of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance are highly autonomous. The Cong Yunhai branch was mixed with a spy not to mention making him the island town guard.”
“What a heavenly scandal.”
“In order to avoid chastisement from the headquarters and keep a lot of people’s positions, it’s natural to make a big deal out of it and trivialize it.”
“Zhou Qingang is dead anyway. Whether he died in an accident or was murdered, it makes no difference.”
“The most important thing is that he’s really dead. Once he’s dead, it’s good to pretend that this incident didn’t happen.”
“That way all will be happy.”
“As for whether he stole and passed on any confidential information ……”
“Doesn’t matter. Could it be that the Five Elders will still fight over?”
When He Zhenghao first heard Li Fan’s words, he only found it unbelievable and absurd.
However, after thinking deeply, he felt that the truth was indeed true.
So he was unable to speak for a long time.
