Chapter 459: True Leaf Hidden Village
Chapter 457 – True Leaf Dark Hidden Manor
The price of Puxian True Leaf Grass had always been stable.
There had even been a strange sight of it going down against the trend.
Moreover, after Tian Xuanjing’s single word set the storm in motion, the Spirit Mist Grass drove the prices of the vast majority of herbs in the market to collapse.
Its price also remained firm, without any particularly large fluctuations since the beginning.
“Puxian True Leaf Grass ……”
The blue light of the Hado Stone crystal in his mind flickered, and Li Fan began to search for later information on it.
A moment later, Li Fan revealed a somewhat interested look.
According to Li Fan’s memories afterward, after the Spirit Mist Grass fiasco, with the bountiful by-products in the Five Elements Great Cavern Sky constantly being mined and put into the market, basically all the spirit plants and herbs had a drastic drop.
However, the Puxian True Leaf Grass was an exception.
In the following decades, the price of the Puxian True Leaf Grass had been steadily rising.
It was only that it was too cold and not too many cultivators paid attention to it.
Therefore, Li Fan, who had previously made a lot of money from the speculation of the Spirit Mist Grass incident, and then used the vast majority of his energy on building the Tianxuan Spirit Locking Formation, had naturally ignored it.
Now that the Spirit Mist Grass fiasco was not going to happen and Li Fan needed to find a replacement, he obviously noticed the unusual nature of the Puxian True Leaf Grass.
“In my previous life, I remember that after the popularization of the Tianxuan Spirit Locking Formation, the Puxian Ming Realization Talisman was gradually abolished. Yet its price has remained high, suggesting that it should have other unknown uses.”
“All the signs of anomalies suggest that behind this, there should be someone doing the bookmaking.”
Li Fan thought carefully about the feasibility of his two methods of finding a way to attack Spirit Mist Island, artificially inflating the price of the Spirit Mist Grass, and using the Puxian True Leaf Grass as a replacement.
“Regardless of which method, the end result will definitely cause no small amount of turmoil. The Tianji Hall will inevitably come down to investigate.”
“Judging from the final outcome of the last generation, operating through the free market, buying low and selling high, is within the permissible rules.”
“Whereas if it’s an artificial and malicious attempt to stir up the market and disrupt the economy, it’s hard to say. Maybe the charge of destabilizing the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance will be crowned for you.”
“Even if I have the Secret Art of Covering the Sky with Only My Hands, I may not be able to withstand the investigation.”
“……”
Li Fan thought seriously and vaguely made a decision.
“However, we still have to see if this Puxian True Leaf Grass will work or not.”
Say it and do it.
Li Fan threw out all the Spirit Mist Grass that he had previously acquired regardless of the cost, and instead acquired the Puxian True Leaf Grass.
In Tian Xuan Mirror, the price of Puxian True Leaf Grass was basically stabilized at 280 contribution points a piece.
Li Fan’s first move was a million contribution points, frantically sweeping up the goods.
Soon, the inventory in the market was dropping at a rate visible to the naked eye.
At the same time, its price slowly began to pick up.
It erased the drop from the previous days and returned to its normal price level, around 300 contribution.
Li Fan did not move and continued to increase his purchasing efforts.
Another million contribution degrees slammed down.
301, 302 ……
The price of the Puxian True Leaf Grass was about to break through 305.
Right at this moment, visible to the naked eye, its price suddenly began to plummet.
In an instant, it fell from over 300, back to 292 contribution points.
“The fact that this is happening is an indication that someone has placed a large amount of Puxian True Leaf Grass onto the market.”
“Tianxuan Mirror judged that supply exceeded demand, which is why the price plummeted in a short period of time.”
“Interesting.”
A brilliant light flashed in Li Fan’s eyes, and he temporarily withdrew his hand and carefully scrutinized it.
“Holding a large amount of Puxian True Leaf Grass in his hands, yet he is actively manipulating the price down? Why is this?”
“And in the last life, during the Spiritual Mist Grass fiasco, when the spiritual plants and herbs were rising in general, it was still possible to achieve a high degree of control over the price of the Puxian True Leaf Grass.” “It’s basically certain that the other party has nearly formed some sort of monopoly.”
“Is it a win ……”
Not long after, recalling a certain operation in his previous life, Li Fan vaguely thought of a certain possibility.
Li Fan rose with vigor, exited the Heavenly Xuan Mirror, and headed straight for the Thousand Miles Hall.
Outside, he heard Jiao Xiuyuan’s disgruntled complaint, “Didn’t you say you wanted this Flying Star Disk? I dug it out with great difficulty, and you don’t want it just because you say you don’t want it?”
“People nowadays, can you still be honest in business?”
Li Fan interrupted it with a smile, “No one wants it? I want it!”
Jiao Xiuyuan originally did not know in and talking, at this time, he heard the words, and was immediately happy.
He quickly said, “Deal! One thousand five hundred contribution points, one price! No backing out!”
Saying this, he directly handed over a rusty copper disk.
Li Fan scanned it and didn’t see anything rare.
However, in line with the experience of his previous life, after paying for it, he still put it into his storage ring for safekeeping.
“Fellow Daoist Jiao, forget about these petty fights, I’ve come to find you this time, but I have big business!”
Li Fan said seriously.
And at this time, Jiao Xiuyuan also recognized Li Fan.
Thinking that he had come to ask if the [Delusion Breaking Stone Eye] had been sold, a trace of embarrassment surfaced on Jiao Xiuyuan’s dark face.
“Ah! So it’s Fellow Daoist Li Fan! I’m really sorry, that Delusion Breaking Stone Eye, may ……”
Li Fan waved his hand to interrupt him, and as he pulled Jiao Xiuyuan closer, he said in a deep voice, “Let’s not worry about this first. Fellow Daoist Jiao, what I just said is serious.”
“If you miss the opportunity, I’m afraid you’ll have your Dao heart broken and your puppet damaged for the most part!”
Seeing Li Fan being so alarmist, Jiao Xiuyuan instantly changed his face.
Putting away the playful expression on his face and measuring Li Fan with a serious face, Jiao Xiuyuan closed the door of the Thousand Miles Hall.
“Fellow Daoist Li Fan’s words, where do you start?” He asked.
“Puxian True Leaf Grass, does this item, Fellow Daoist Jiao, know about it? Recently its price, there are some abnormalities. Fellow Daoist will know at a glance.” Li Fan replied.
Jiao Xiuyuan sniffed and closed his eyes in thought.
A moment later, his brows furrowed slightly.
At this time, Li Fan again told Jiao Xiuyuan about the test moves he had just made.
“What do you think, fellow Daoist?” Li Fan asked, a bit of consideration in his tone.
Jiao Xiuyuan pondered for a moment and said, “If my guess is right, the other party should have borrowed a certain amount of Puxian True Leaf Grass somewhere.”
“And he himself might also happen to be in possession of some excess stock.”
“So he wanted to profit by putting a large amount of Puxian True Leaf Grass towards the market and temporarily pulling down the price, repaying some less.”
Jiao Xiuyuan gave his judgment.
Li Fan clapped his hands, “Heroes see the same thing, that’s what I think too.”
Jiao Xiuyuan frowned, a little dissatisfied, “This is the big business you’re talking about? Why don’t I see it?”
Li Fan revealed a mysterious smile.
“Suppose, I mean suppose.”
“What would happen when the other party must return the Puxian True Leaf Grass, and the amount circulating in the market combined is not enough for him to return it?”
Jiao Xiuyuan steeply failed to understand the meaning of Li Fan’s words.
He froze.
After a moment, a brilliant light flashed in his eyes.
