Chapter 213: The Aftermath Becomes a Worldly Affair
Chapter 212 – Aftermath Changes to World Affairs
In the Bone Hands Advance Realm, Li Fan, who held the highest authority, looked at the inexplicably excited Ye Feipeng, and Xiao Heng, who was also very happy, and secretly nodded.
“After accompanying these brats to act for so long, finally the fire is almost ready.”
“In the future, without any surprises, you will be able to sit back and receive the return on your investment, without having to labor over everything.”
In order to make his fabricated lies look as real as possible, Li Fan had taken great pains and spent a lot of money.
This included and was not limited to: a necklace that incorporated a communication spell formation and a ritual curing spell formation.
A communication transmission spell formation disguised as an altar.
A puppet with Foundation Stage cultivation.
A phantom stone that faked a vision of a cultivator’s fall.
And so on and so forth.
And the reason why this world has gone to such great lengths, again leasing and remodeling the Advance Realm, again fabricating the false past of the True Immortals.
Li Fan naturally had his considerations.
Firstly, if one directly finances their feats as a cultivator, at first it is fine, the Celestials are young and will not have many ideas.
However, as they grew older and realized the preciousness of the techniques, they would inevitably have doubts and suspect that there might be some kind of conspiracy behind it. Once the heart gap, then it is easy to flat many twists and turns.
And disguised as a half-fallen ancient cultivator, the gift of the merit law will be disguised as the heavenly pride of their own strange encounter.
There would be no such concerns.
Secondly, after setting up the [Immortal Restoration] organization, he could be a shirker to his heart’s content.
There was no need to work hard and personally look for people with exceptional talent to invest in.
The so-called geniuses were attracted to each other.
As Xiao Heng and Su Xiaomei’s group of heavenly pride grew and traveled, the probability was that they would also encounter some companions with not-so-bad talent.
Without Li Fan having to worry about it at all, the members of the Immortal Restoration would grow.
While releasing the group of Celestial Pride and practicing cultivation at ease, he could also enjoy the return on investment brought about by the expansion of the Restoration Immortal.
It was truly wonderful.
Thirdly, the background of the [Restoration Immortal] organization that was an enemy of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance would naturally put a layer of pressure on Xiao Heng and the others.
Only with pressure would there be motivation.
It was only then that their cultivation talent could be squeezed to the extreme.
Only then could Li Fan recover the cost of his investment faster.
Li Fan could clearly remember that before, Xiao Heng was under no pressure, but he had not been able to get rid of the miasma in his body for more than ten years.
But in this life, under the pressure of being stranded on a deserted island and “carrying the burden of revenge”, he spontaneously started practicing on the second day after he got the “Divine Sword of the Fixed Sea” technique.
The difference between these two is too great.
As for this small [Restoration of Immortals] organization, will it attract the attention of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance ……
When Li Fan disguised himself as a skull, he had already explained to Xiao Heng.
The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance was powerful, and at the moment, it was still mainly focused on developing and growing its own strength.
Before cultivating to the YuanYing realm, don’t start a conflict with the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance head on.
Even if Xiao Heng was a genius, it would take quite a few years to cultivate to the Yuanying Realm.
I am afraid that Li Fan will not be able to see it in this life.
……
In short, the seed had been planted. Now it was just a matter of waiting for the departed realm’s many heavenly prides to grow up and harvest the fruits themselves.
After a total of two busy months before and after, by the time Li Fan returned to Ten Thousand Immortals Island, the time had already come to the Anchor 10 years.
Although practicing the Sitting Mountain Skill could [sit and enjoy], Li Fan was not the kind of person who tied his hopes for everything to others.
His own cultivation did not fall behind either.
Throughout the entire Anchor 10 years, Li Fan spent it in diligent closed-door cultivation.
The Enlightened Spirit state was non-stop for a moment, and in just one year, it was equivalent to an ordinary cultivator’s twenty years of hard cultivation.
And this day, a rather rich feedback cultivation suddenly appeared out of nowhere in Li Fan’s dantian.
It woke him up from his cultivation.
The amount of this cultivation was equivalent to three or four years of hard cultivation in his usual state.
Not expecting the first cultivation feedback to come so quickly, Li Fan could not help but be a little surprised and immediately checked it out.
Under the careful feeling, what Li Fan did not expect was that the first large amount of cultivation feedback from the Sitting Mountain Skill did not come from the people of the Leaving Realm.
Instead, it came from He Zhenghao!
Just now, he had managed to break through from the middle stage of Foundation Establishment to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
“Fellow Daoist He this is thick and thin, breaking through so quickly.”
“It seems that his statement that he will surely achieve Jindan within fifty years really wasn’t a delusional statement.”
At this time, Li Fan also received the news of good news from He Zheng Hao.
Li Fan waived the interest he had to pay back this year as a sign of encouragement.
Let him continue to cultivate hard and strive for an early Jindan.
After that, he checked the news that had been missed during the time of the retreat.
Zhang Zhiliang’s research on the Mountain River Grand Formation was nearing its end.
He sent a message over to ask Li Fan how his self-taught knowledge of formation dao was going.
When he returned, he was going to conduct an examination on Li Fan.
Naturally, this was difficult for Li Fan, who had already studied formation under Zhang Zhiliang for more than ten years in his previous life.
So Li Fan didn’t have much to worry about.
Next, amongst a bunch of irrelevant greeting messages, a message from Jiang Zheng Silence of the Drill Hall did arouse Li Fan’s interest.
He asked Li Fan if he had seen a late stage Foundation Establishment cultivator recently.
Obviously the message was sent by a group, but this Foundation Establishment cultivator, Li Fan recognized. It was the same Foundation Establishment Master who was also smuggled in from the Mortal Small World during the Twelfth World.
Li Fan inquired about Jiang Zheng Silence before realizing what was going on.
It turned out that not long ago, this Foundation Building Master, who had been keeping a relatively low profile, had suddenly increased his publicity.
With the slogan that he would definitely succeed in building the foundation and shorten the time for foundation building by 90%, he went on a rampage to recruit apprentices.
The past reputation of the foundation building master was not bad, as well as the efficacy of being blown up to the gods, attracted a lot of refining qi consummation, ready to build the foundation of the cultivators.
They still trusted this Foundation Building Master, and after paying their contribution, they built their foundations on the spot under the Master’s careful guidance.
However, after they either succeeded, failed, etc. in waking up from the foundation building process, they angrily realized.
The Foundation Building Grandmaster who had been vocalizing guidance in their ears was actually just an illusion.
The real Foundation Building Master had long since run away.
Only then did the crowd of cultivators wake up to the fact that they had been tricked.
According to the statistics afterward, at that time, there were at least a hundred cultivators gathered on the island.
2,000 points of contribution, for a cultivator who had perfected his Qi refining, was also a significant amount of money.
Unwillingly, they couldn’t care less about face at this point and chose to report to the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
Where would the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance place such a small matter in their hearts.
However, the superficial work that should be done still had to be done.
So the Performing Arts Hall ordered Jiang Zheng Silence to thoroughly investigate the case.
Jiang Zheng Silence rushed to the incident island investigation, has long been empty, nothing can be found out.
And this group of people seem to have quite a means.
Even Jiang Zheng Silence, who had asked Tianji Hall’s Elder Gongsun to project their traces, was unable to find a single trace of them.
Failure to complete the mission would result in a deduction of merit and a drop in authority level.
Jiang Zheng Silence had to hold the attitude of trying, group sent friends, asking if anyone has ever seen the traces of the Foundation Building Master.
……
Li Fan, who understood the ins and outs of the matter, stroked his chin with interest.
“According to the normal trajectory, they should still be practicing the scam in a low-key manner and slowly saving up contribution points.”
“How could they have gotten into a big one and directly run away?”
“Can’t it be that they also speculated on Spirit Mist Grass?”
Li Fan couldn’t help but think so.
After thinking about it, there was a certain possibility.
After all, in the twelfth life, they were not far from redeeming the Harmonization Technique, Sea Swallowing Eternal Life Technique.
If they took a shot at it, they might be able to complete their mission fifty years earlier?
Li Fan could even imagine that when the Spirit Mist Grass initially skyrocketed, although their hearts were moved, their opinions might not be in agreement.
Using decades of savings to speculate.
But as the price of Spirit Mist Grass continued to rise, the opposition would become weaker.
Eventually hesitant, he finally agreed to enter, ready to make a profit and leave.
Tian Xuan Mirror’s single word set the storm in motion, and the price of Spirit Mist Grass collapsed.
They lost their blood money.
“Perhaps they may not have used all of their savings, but they definitely lost a lot. That’s why they’re desperate, ready to make a profit to get their blood back and run straight away.”
“One hundred people, that’s two hundred thousand contribution points. This scam, it’s faster earning than making investments.”
After thinking about it, Li Fan replied to Jiang Zheng Silence, “If possible, fellow Daoist can search along the way in the direction to Yongliang Prefecture. There might be results.”
After a moment, Jiang Zheng Silence replied, “Fellow Daoist means that they went to defect to the Five Elders Association? Hmph, rebelling against the alliance is a great offense. If they are caught by me ……”
“Regardless, thank you, fellow Daoist!”
Li Fan politely said a few more words, put away the communication talisman and thought quietly.
The fact that this Foundation Building Master had escaped early did not bother him much.
What Li Fan really cared about was that the impact of the Spirit Mist Grass incident seemed to go beyond his expectations.
He had a vague feeling in his heart before that he seemed to have missed something.
At this moment, after being reminded of this episode, Li Fan finally realized it.
What he had overlooked.
Li Fan searched up the prices of spiritual plants and herbs in the Tian Xuan Mirror.
As expected, there was wailing and misery all over the place.
Some had even fallen below their cost price.
“In the twelfth generation, these herbs caused the avalanche of prices because of the anchoring of 13 years, when the first batch of spirit plants planted in wood-attribute caverns matured and were shipped out on a large scale.”
“And in this life, it was because of the Tianxuan Mirror’s announcement. All the cultivators of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, knew in advance, the news of the great abundance of various spirit plants and herbs in that cave heaven.”
“The drop in prices can be met. In order to sell the herbs in their hands as soon as possible, the cultivators squeezed each other, which led to the early collapse of spirit plant prices.”
“However, this is not the point.”
“The point is ……”
“The Small Pill King Ding.”
Thinking back to this culprit that had once caused his own death, Li Fan could not help but flash a brilliant light in his eyes.
“With the price of herbs collapsing, naturally no one will buy any small tripods for growing herbs.”
“No one entrusted Jiao Xiuyuan, would he still go to the Pill King Sect’s ruins and dig out the Small Pill King Tripod?”
“At this time, the Small Pill King Tripod has little value though.”
“But when the real Pill King Ding returns, it will become a treasure that everyone will fight over.”
