Chapter 75: Chapter 74: Not a Moment of Leisure
Translator: 549690339
The Ten Thousand Immortals Island was buzzing with the unusual fluctuations in the price of Spirit Mist Grass.
With a little inquiry, Li Fan soon understood what was going on.
As expected, someone had set up a scheme and taken advantage of cultivators like He Zhenghao, who intended to make a profit from the situation.
The destruction of the Spirit Mist Grass Island plantation was true, so after the news was confirmed, many decisively entered the market, hoping to make a fortune.
What they didnโt know was that the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals had recently discovered a cave that had been sealed for a thousand years.
It was said to be filled with abundant wood-attribute spiritual energy and various rare spiritual plants.
The Spirit Mist Grass was everywhere.
So much that you could step on several plants with a single foot.
The matter had only been known to the higher-ups of the Immortal Alliance until the market became a bloody battleground for Spirit Mist Grass, which was when the news was suddenly released.
No wonder the price of Spirit Mist Grass plummeted out of blue.
โIt seems that Daoist He has no chance of breaking even,โ Li Fan said with a smile of regret.
โBut whoever did this wasnโt very fair.โ
Li Fan was looking at the transaction records in the Tianxuan Mirror.
True Lord Qingmu Hua.
It was he who first inflated the price of Spirit Mist Grass. Then, during the tug-of-war between the bulls and bears, he gave the final fatal blow, sending the price of Spirit Mist Grass plummeting.
Clearly, he was an insider who knew the news in advance.
Li Fan grumbled to himself.
However, not many people dared to trouble Lord Nascent Soul, even those who suffered losses.
They could only swallow their anger and accept their bad luck.
Li Fan couldnโt help but maliciously speculate that the Spirit Mist Grass Island might have been secretly destroyed by the Lord Nascent Soul.
โThe market is indeed a dangerous place,โ Li Fan shook his head.
Just when Li Fan was gloating over his fortune, a message from He Zhenghao arrived.
โMy friend, I have sold all the materials you brought back from the Outsider Realm.โ His voice sounded weak, as if he had been drained of energy. โI received a total of 2342 contribution points, half for each of us, as we agreed beforehand.โ
Although He Zhenghao had suffered major losses in this investment venture, he didnโt embezzle Li Fanโs share.
After receiving the 1171 contribution points from He Zhenghao, plus the remaining 125 points he had, Li Fan had 1296 contribution points in total, which was barely enough for a while.
After thinking for a moment, Li Fan didnโt choose to enter seclusion immediately. Instead, He looked up information about Jiao Xiuyuan.
Apparently, he had connections that allowed him to get a large batch of Invisible Talismans from the Tower of Runes of the Alliance of Immortals. Li Fan could use this opportunity to inquire about Sikong Yi while purchasing some spirit symbols.
The Ten Thousand Immortals Island was roughly divided into three major areas from inside to outside.
The innermost core area was where the buildings of the Immortal Alliance were located.
Such as the council hall, Martial Arts Battle Hall, Medical Hall, Tower of Runes, and so on.
The middle area was filled with opened cave mansions, which one could purchase if they had enough contribution points.
There was no need to live in the cramped space provided by the Tianxuan Mirror anymore.
These cave mansions were fully-equipped, and everything that could be done in the Tianxuan Mirror space could also be done here.
The outermost area was a mix of commercial and residential districts.
The Dharma Dissemination Square and Tianxuan Mirror were located at the border between this place and the central cave mansion area.
The houses here could only provide basic accomodation. There was no spiritual energy amplification, and there was no way to connect with the Tianxuan
Mirror. So, if you want to cultivate, you still have to go back to the Tianxuan Mirrorโs space.
As for the commercial district, it housed shops run by cultivators themselves, independent from the Tianxuan Mirror trading system.
The prices of the goods in these shops were usually lower than those in the Tianxuan Mirror, but the quality was not guaranteed.
Jiao Xiuyuan had a shop here.
Following the information heโd found in the Tianxuan Mirror, Li Fan arrived at the designated location.
Thousand Miles Hall.
Lookilu at the slightly slanted plaque, Li Fan walked in.
The shop wasnโt very big, and it was filled with clutter. A manโs voice could be faintly heard.
โIโm telling you, these ten Invisible Talismans must be traded at the price we agreed on before. I donโt care how much the price has dropped nowโฆโ โWhat? Youโre canceling the deal? You donโt even want the deposit!โ Bang!
โDamn it! Another one! Everyone thinks they can bully Jiao Xiuyuan!โ A man with a beard-stubbled face and dark complexion, slammed the table and yelled angrily.
But immediately, he deflated, muttering to himself, โItโs over, itโs over. I, Jiao Xiuyuan, never do business at a loss, but now Iโve got all these Invisible talismans on handโฆโ
It was then that he noticed a customer had walked into his shop.
But he couldnโt see the visitorโs face, they must have used an Invisible Talisman.
Heโd seen many such people before, so Jiao Xiuyuan didnโt think much of it. ๐ณ๐ซ๐๐๐๐๐ฏ๐ง๐ผ๐ฏ๐๐น.๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ
โWhat do you want? Array Talisman, Magic tools, Elixirs, everything. Discounts available for bulk orders!โ he called out lazily.
โHow much for the Invisible Talisman?โ the other party asked.
Jiao Xiuyuanโs eyes brightened instantly, and he perked up.
โ10 contribution points each. How many do you want? If you buy more than ten, Iโll give you a 20% discount. If you buy more than a hundred, Iโll give you a 50% discount!โ
Li Fan chuckled, โWhy would I need so many, five or six should be enough.โ
After a pause, Li Fan continued, โAnd your price isnโt right. Before I came here, I bought one in the Tianxuan Mirror. An Invisible Talisman that can shield Golden Core Cultivators, costs only 20 points now. And these defective products of yours are still so expensive?โ
Jiao Xiuyuanโs face twitched at his words. He stammered, โ8 points each, it canโt get any lower. You should know that making talismans also has a cost!โ โAlright, give me six.โ Li Fan didnโt haggle any further.
Jiao Xiuyuan quickly handed out six Invisible Talismans, fearing Li Fan might change his mind.
โHow do you want to pay?โ
The Tianxuan Mirror does not support anonymous transactions, so if they use contribution points, their identities will be revealed.
But Li Fan had come prepared.
โSpiritual stones.โ He took out five medium-grade spiritual stones from his storage ring and handed them over.
Official Spiritual Stones are the result of a collaboration between the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals and the Five Elders Organization. They come in different grades and are akin to the legal currency of the Immortal Cultivation World, with unique anti-counterfeiting restrictions.
The exchange ratio between superior, high-grade, medium-grade, and low-grade spiritual stones is 10:1. freewebnove(l)
In the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, a low-grade spiritual stone can be exchanged in the Tianxuan Mirror for one point of contribution.
At this moment, the five medium-grade spiritual stones Li Fan handed out were equivalent to 50 contribution points.
โYou donโt need to give me change for the remaining points.โ
Li Fan took the Invisible Talismans, then casually asked, โDo you also do information gathering on cultivators here?โ
Jiao Xiuyuan looked wary at Li Fanโs question.
He studied Li Fan for a while before gritting his teeth, โWhy not, Iโve made such a loss with my business, I need to take side jobs just to get by!โ โWhatโs the name? Whatโs the cultivation level?โ Jiao Xiuyuan asked quietly.
โSikong Yi, mid-stage of Energy Refining..โ
