第一百五十章 初试坐山决

"Pay no mind to the amount of contribution points. Just choose the items and techniques you like."

Though he was supposed to be careful, Li Fan still gave such instructions when he saw Su Xiaomei and Xiao Heng looking conflicted.

They breathed a sigh of relief and after half a day, they finally picked out what they needed from the vast list of supplies in the Ten Thousand Immortals Mirror.

Su Xiaomei chose the [Fiery Flame Feather], an upper-grade human treasure worth 6000 contribution points.

For her technique, she selected the higher rank substitute for "Heart Anger Fire Flame Technique," called "Heart Anger Flame Blazing Technique." It was also worth 6000 contribution points.

Xiao Heng chose the [Wandering Cloud Stele] as his upper-grade human treasure, which was worth 5500 contribution points.

For his technique, he selected the "Spring Breeze to Rain Decree," which was also worth 5500 contribution points.

After they made their selections, they obediently gathered around Li Fan and looked at him expectantly as he checked out the items.

The total came to 23,000 contribution points.

Even with his substantial amount of over 90,000 contribution points, Li Fan's eyes flickered.

It wasn't just that He Zhenghao had a small mindset; it was simply unaffordable.

Investing in a Foundation Establishment cultivator required at least 10,000 contribution points.

Li Fan remembered that the reward for guarding Cunyun Sea Island only amounted to hundreds or up to two thousand per year.

Even with some additional income, this 10,000 would take at least two years to save up.

After all his hard work over such a long time, giving it away...

Who could bear to do that?

"Sure enough, The Seated Mountain Decree is not something for everyone," Li Fan sighed as he bought the four items.

In an instant, 90,000 contribution points were reduced to 67,000, plus the remaining 1,100.

Li Fan now had only 68,100 contribution points left.

"Build your Foundation Establishment here and I'll protect you," Li Fan instructed as he handed over the items.

The two were overjoyed and immediately agreed. They closed themselves off to meditate on their Foundation Establishment with Li Fan's protection.

With the Unseen Killing Mechanism locking onto them, Li Fan took this opportunity to further understand the process of Foundation Establishment.

Although he had already completed his Foundation Establishment in this world, Li Fan's ultimate goal was not just to use the Sea of Pearls as a base.

Therefore, the more he could understand about Foundation Establishment, the better.

Their talents were truly extraordinary.

Just one day later, with the formation of a firebird's shadow in Su Xiaomei's dantian, she successfully advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage.

At the same time, Li Fan felt a pure essence of cultivation surge within him.

And unlike just once, it continued to increase, like a steady stream from a mountain spring. The increase was minimal but still noticeable.

After Su Xiaomei's breakthrough, her face lit up with excitement. But she knew better than to shout out loud and waited patiently by Li Fan's side for Xiao Heng to complete his Foundation Establishment.

A few more hours later, a blue cloud formed, and Xiao Heng officially entered the Foundation Establishment stage as well.

The cultivation feedback from The Seated Mountain Decree was only one-fifth of Su Xiaomei’s.

Further increases in cultivation were negligible after that.

Xiao Heng's face lit up with joy but quickly turned calm again as he bowed to Li Fan.

Li Fan nodded and accepted the bow, then led them to meet Su Changyu and others.

Seeing their breakthroughs, Su Changyu and the sisters were genuinely happy and congratulated them.

Ou Erbao's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared between Li Fan and the two of them.

After a round of celebration, Li Fan instructed, "Our current living quarters are still too simple. From now on, work together to build a true cave dwelling by Bright Moon Lake for everyone’s cultivation."

"I'll give Xiao Heng 5000 contribution points; you can purchase materials from the Ten Thousand Immortals Small Mirror."

"Before I leave on an errand, I hope to see the cave dwelling completed when I return."

"The stone room at the bottom of the lake still has one person who is a good friend. If there's anything unresolved, you may seek his advice."

Everyone agreed with great enthusiasm.

After transferring 5000 contribution points to Xiao Heng, Li Fan spent another twenty days returning to Source Dao City.

He used up 10,000 contribution points in the Ten Thousand Immortals Mirror and activated the auxiliary cultivation mode.

He focused on cultivating The Seated Mountain Decree.

Time passed quickly; a hundred days had gone by.

Suddenly, it was time for the anchor year 29 to be set.

When Li Fan woke from his meditation, he checked his cultivation progress.

The result surprised him greatly.

In over one hundred days of cultivation, the increase in his cultivation was only twice that of Su Xiaomei's breakthrough feedback.

"Actually, it should not have doubled. During these 100 days, Su Xiaomei and Xiao Heng must have improved their strength. Therefore, the additional cultivation I gained came from both my own cultivation and a small portion from The Seated Mountain Decree."

"I can predict that as Su Xiaomei's realm continues to rise, the feedback will continue. It should stop only when they reach Foundation Establishment Perfection."

"From this, we can preliminarily conclude that with the same contribution points, the total increase in cultivation through bringing others is far greater than my own cultivation. However, this process is very long. Investing in ordinary cultivators may take nearly a hundred years to fully benefit from it."

"Investing in prodigies with extraordinary talents can greatly shorten this process."

"Regardless, The Seated Mountain Decree transmission is always profitable."

"This makes me think that the fastest way of cultivation under sufficient contribution points would be to cultivate within the Ten Thousand Immortals Mirror and simultaneously transmit the technique while enjoying the benefits."

"The downside is that such a high consumption of contribution points can't last long. It's not a long-term strategy."

"To maximize the return on contribution points, one should not use the Ten Thousand Immortals Mirror for cultivation but invest all contributions in prodigies to rely on The Seated Mountain Decree’s feedback to cultivate their realms."

"Unfortunately, prodigies are rare; I've only met two or three people over my two lifetimes."

"The speed of cultivation is likely still slower thanspirit awakening cultivation."

Li Fan paused his thoughts and thought about Xiao Heng's situation.

"Even if there's a fee for transmission, it can provide cultivation feedback. If the contribution points can be safely recovered, wouldn't that be equivalent to making money without spending?"

"If I could charge just a little more..."

"I'm sure many cultivators struggling with bottlenecks and eager to break through would be willing to pay a small price to get techniques or treasures early."

"With my Unseen Killing Mechanism, these cultivators can't run away. Su Xiaomei and Xiao Heng are my two protectors; I don't need to personally collect overdue payments."

"Should it be true prodigies, I could offer them for free..."

"Great! That's great!"

The more Li Fan thought about it, the more excited he became.

"The Seated Mountain Decree is truly a good technique!"

"How can such divine techniques not be used by you, Fellow Daoist? It's a waste of resources!"
