第四百二十五章 何正浩折服

In just half a day, the price of [Wugu Yashí] doubled.

Even more concerning was that due to the high demand and low supply, the price continued to rise without showing any signs of stopping.

"Why is this happening?" Hao Zhenghao looked at Li Fan in shock once again.

Li Fan had a serious expression on his face as he started counting with his fingers again, ignoring Hao Zhenghao's question.

Hao Zhenghao could only turn back to the Sky Xuan Small Mirror. The number representing his contribution points was constantly changing.

318,000

328,600...

His wealth was increasing at an alarming rate that he could see with his own eyes.

Hao Zhenghao pinched himself hard to confirm it wasn't a dream.

After decades of effort, this windfall seemed too easy.

The first 150,000 had taken him many years to accumulate, while the second 150,000 was earned in less than five days.

Was this how Senior Li handled investments?

Hao Zhenghao felt his blood and energy surging with excitement. He just wanted to show off to his friends.

Just then, Li Fan's voice suddenly interrupted him, dousing his enthusiasm like a bucket of cold water.

"Cut your losses now! Sell it immediately!"

Hao Zhenghao was stunned. "But the price is still rising..."

"Hmm?"

Li Fan looked over at him with a sideways glance.

Hao Zhenghao's breath hitched as he reluctantly sold all his [Wugu Yashí] for 630 per catty, earning 333,900 contribution points!

"Rich!"

Hao Zhenghao stared intently at the Sky Xuan Small Mirror, muttering to himself about how to spend this windfall.

Li Fan's voice interrupted his thoughts. "Said it was easy, but you still don't believe me."

"Alright, the bet is over and you lost. Change your cultivation technique quickly!"

Hao Zhenghao woke up from his reverie.

Opening the list of techniques for exchange, Hao Zhenghao was about to buy [Shanhé Yǐnlong Gong] when he suddenly remembered that half of these contribution points were due to Li Fan's guidance.

"Senior, what about those 150,000?"

Li Fan waved his hand impatiently. "That's your investment return from my advice. How can I ask for payment? Besides, I'm not a member of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance."

"Furthermore, with [Zuoshāng Jue], you get half the contribution points from changing techniques, which is like receiving an favor from me..."

Li Fan's explanation ended there, and Hao Zhenghao suddenly understood.

Overjoyed, he thanked Li Fan repeatedly before exchanging for [Shanhé Yǐnlong Gong] and discarding his [Zuoshāng Jue].

Impressed by Hao Zhenghao's attitude, Li Fan patted him on the shoulder as he prepared to leave.

"Senior, please wait!"

Hao Zhenghao suddenly snapped out of it and called out. "What do you need?"

Li Fan paused mid-air, his brow furrowed.

"Don't you think I should join your Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance after waking up from a thousand-year slumber?" Hao Zhenghao suggested.

"Although I'm not qualified to recommend you, I know many Foundation Establishment cultivators..."

Li Fan's eyes narrowed as he seemed to be considering something.

Hao Zhenghao was elated and continued. "Times have changed. Without joining the alliance, it's hard for a wandering cultivator like me."

"And I've already mentioned all the benefits of joining before. You saw firsthand how convenient the Sky Xuan Mirror is..."

After Hao Zhenghao's persistent efforts, Li Fan finally agreed to temporarily join the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

Hao Zhenghao immediately contacted his allies using a spirit token.

After half a day of work, Hao Zhenghao finally sighed in relief. "Please wait for me."

"You just need to go to the Ten Thousand Immortals Island and pass verification once my friends are ready," he said.

"Such trouble!" Li Fan grunted unhappily.

Hao Zhenghao only smiled apologetically.

After a moment of silence, Hao Zhenghao couldn't resist asking. "Senior, how did you know the price of [Wugu Yashí] would skyrocket?"

"I studied it and found no signs!"

Li Fan explained with satisfaction as he seemed to be bored waiting.

"The flow of heaven and earth is constantly changing. Ordinary people might not notice."

"But my disciples from the Heaven Xuan Sect can perceive these changes through secret techniques."

"Similarly, wealth follows this pattern."

Hao Zhenghao's eyes lit up. "Such a power? Doubling so easily... if I could do it multiple times..."

Li Fan smiled wryly. "It's not that easy."

"Cultivators observe the heavens and earth, which in turn observes them."

"Perceiving heaven and earth isn't always successful."

"And you have to deal with the backlash from divine will, limiting how often you can use this technique."

"This time was so smooth because I hadn't used it for a long while," Li Fan explained.

Hearing this, Hao Zhenghao felt disappointed but quickly regained his spirits. "Even once a year would be incredible!"

Thinking of the 80,000 contribution points he still had after purchasing a technique, an idea struck him.

But fearing angering Li Fan, he hesitated.

"What are you thinking?"

Li Fan seemed to read his mind and asked directly.

Hao Zhenghao decided to come clean. "Senior, can you spare some time to guide me again once you join the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance?"

Li Fan looked at him with a half-smile.

Hao Zhenghao knew his request was excessive but continued anyway. "Your powers are too incredible."

"We have to work hard and constantly worry about our safety to gain benefits," he said, trying to flatter Li Fan.

"Unlike you, who can do it so effortlessly..."

Hao Zhenghao tried every means to praise Li Fan, but Li Fan showed no signs of agreeing.

Watching Li Fan's departure, Hao Zhenghao felt a mix of disappointment and regret.

But thinking about the [Shanhé Yǐnlong Gong] he had already acquired and his remaining contribution points, he couldn't help feeling smug.

"Who would have thought that this catastrophe could turn into such a great opportunity for me?"

Feeling more accomplished than ever, Hao Zhenghao forgot about cultivation to brag to his friends who shared his investment insights.

In the depths of the Ten Thousand Immortals Dao's Administration Hall, Li Fan stood on the white jade Askance Platform as an elderly man with gray hair questioned him.

"You claim you are a cultivator from the Ancient Heaven Xuan Sect, having been in a coma for a thousand years?"

Li Fan nodded. "That is correct."
