Chapter 69: So it’s you
Chapter 69: So It’s You After All
Before the retreat, Li Fan set a minimum value of 100 contribution points.
Once it fell below this number, the Assisted Cultivation Mode would be forcibly interrupted.
As if he had been waking up suddenly after a beautiful sleep, Li Fan only felt a pang of annoyance in his heart, but fortunately, this emotion was quickly suppressed.
“This contribution degree is also consuming too quickly.”
It seemed as if the days of holding a huge amount of over three thousand points in his hand were just yesterday, and in the blink of an eye, it became empty again.
“There are still almost two years until the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace opens, we still need to find a way to obtain some contribution points and strengthen our strength before then.”
At that moment, he once again browsed the Heavenly Xuan Mirror’s mission page.
Li Fan chose to directly ignore the official quests released by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
At the late stage of Qi Refinement, the official missions that could be taken on were still all missions with very low harvests but nothing dangerous.
For example, acting as an underling for an alchemist, an artifact refiner, a talisman refiner, or helping to repair and inspect spell formations from all over the Sea of Clouds, and so on.
Although it’s a safe bet, the contributions come too slowly.
If Li Fan was interested in learning alchemy and weapon refining, it was not impossible to consider it.
However, the opening of the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace was imminent, and the most important thing at the moment was to get the Cloud Water Talisman in his hands first.
Unfortunately, Li Fan’s luck didn’t seem too good this time.
After looking for a long time, he did not find a favorable task.
After thinking about it, Li Fan took out the communication spirit talisman that He Zhenghao had given him and sent him a message.
“May I ask fellow Daoist He, is there any quick way to obtain contribution points? I’ve been looking in the Heavenly Xuan Mirror for a long time, and most of the quests only pay a few tens of points, and I need thirty contribution points for a day of cultivation. At this rate, when will I be able to afford to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Technique?”
Li Fan spoke in a complaining tone.
After the message was transmitted, Li Fan put the communication spirit talisman aside.
Li Fan started cultivating again while waiting for He Zheng Hao to reply.
Although the speed of cultivation was much slower without the help of the Enlightened Spirit, it was always a slow progress.
Just like this, after three days, He Zhenghao finally sent a reply.
“Hahaha, our Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is like this. When one first joins a cultivator, it often takes several years of fighting to redeem a technique. It’s like that for anyone.”
“But ……”
He Zhenghao’s words changed and continued, “Since you, Dao Friend, were introduced to me to join, then I naturally have to give you a hand.”
“After all, I also hope that fellow Daoist will enter the Foundation Establishment Stage as soon as possible!”
“However, this matter is not convenient to say in the communication spirit talisman. If Fellow Daoist is willing, you can come to Liuli Island. Let’s talk about it in detail face to face.”
……
Originally, Li Fan had only casually asked with a try-and-see mentality, but he did not expect He Zhenghao to give a definite answer so quickly.
“It’s really a timely rain. However, there must be a reason for what happened …… “Remembering that He Zhenghao had always been very generous to people in both of his lives, counting himself as an anomaly among the cultivators, Li Fan pondered for a while.
At that moment, without hesitation, he went out of the Tianxuan Mirror and went straight to Liuli Island.
Liuli Island island protection island array, He Zhenghao sitting in the mountain top pavilion drinking tea, just like it has been waiting for a long time.
“It seems that you, Taoist friend, can’t wait.” He Zhenghao saw Li Fan and laughed out loud. He clapped his hands and the mountain underneath the two of them suddenly shook.
Immediately afterward, Li Fan saw the strange sight of the surrounding mountains rising upwards in unison.
But soon, Li Fan reacted.
It wasn’t the other mountains that were rising, but the mountain he was on that was falling.
The mountain sank rapidly and soon descended below the ground level to a space that was covered in silver clouds.
Li Fan looked up and saw that the rolling mountains in the Island Protector Formation were now floating overhead as if they were a star.
The mountains and rivers were scattered, yet they seemed to form a whole according to a certain law.
It seemed to be standing still, yet it was always in motion.
He Zhenghao saw Li Fan’s expression and slightly colored up, “Fellow Daoist, how do you see this Mountain and River Star Dipper Formation of mine?”
Li Fan also had not seen the true face of Liuli Island’s island protection array in his last life, and now that he had seen it, he said heartily, “The Shanchuan Star Dipper Array …… is quite extraordinary. However, why does this Liuli Island’s island protection array seem ……”
He Zhenghao already knew what Li Fan was going to ask and became more and more pleased, “That’s because, this Liuli Island’s Grand Formation was constructed by me personally, so naturally it’s different from the rest of the island’s.”
Li Fan was taken aback, “I didn’t realize that you are actually proficient in formations?”
However, there were a few doubts, “This Mountain and River Star Dipper Formation is so huge that you, a Taoist friend, can build it with a Foundation Stage cultivation?”
He Zhenghao coughed and said with a straight face, “Naturally, someone was assisting from the side. However, the arrangement of the formation is definitely my main focus.”
“I won’t hide it from you, my foundation building wonder is a pair of mountain and river hundred vein formation diagrams. As such, I have a talent for formations that is incomparable to that of ordinary cultivators. In terms of formations alone, without talking about cultivation, even ordinary YuanYing realm formation masters may not be able to match me.” He Zhenghao said with confidence.
“I see ……” Li Fan nodded, then asked, “I wonder what exactly is it that Fellow Daoist He is talking about? So mysterious and elaborate?”
He Zhenghao said with a smile, “It’s not a big deal, it’s just that it’s a bit taboo.”
“Do you know that many years ago, the mortals of the Immortal Cultivation Realm used to be banished by the entirety to the various small worlds around them?”
Li Fan’s eyes narrowed, “I have heard a little about it.”
He Zhenghao continued, “Actually, there are quite a few valuable things in these small worlds that can be exchanged for quite a few contribution degrees. However, with only one person’s strength, it is a bit time-consuming and laborious to collect them, and the losses outweigh the gains.”
“However, often, the mortals in these small worlds who have power and influence want to return to the Immortal Cultivation World with every intention. So ……”
Li Fan already understood what He Zhenghao was up to, “So?”
“We can use this as a condition to get those mortals to collect supplies for us. As it happens, I know of such a small world called Da Li, which is quite vast and has several precious treasures produced. There’s even quite a bit of Star Sea Quicksand.”
“Star Sea Quicksand is a common material for arranging formations, and it often costs between two and three contribution points per catty ……”
He Zhenghao explained in a choppy manner, but found that Li Fan’s eyes were looking at him more and more strangely, so he couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed.
At that moment, he said, “Don’t look at me with that kind of eyes, I know what you are thinking.”
“T’ang Immortal Cultivator, how could you put yourself out there to do this kind of thing right.”
“But fellow Daoist doesn’t know, this kind of thing, if you don’t do it, there will be others to do it.”
“For a small world, a scavenging trip of more than ten years will yield more than two thousand contribution points. If there are a few more worlds like this, wouldn’t it be the same as getting more than two thousand contribution points every year for nothing?”
“See, when I analyze it for you like this, doesn’t it make sense?”
