第四百五十九章 普贤真妙用

After what happened, it was predictable.

In the chaos of fleeing for their lives, the price of Puqian Zhenye plummeted dramatically. Just after crossing the 1000-point threshold, it dropped like a waterfall. The spectacle left Jiao Xiuyuan in awe.

"Friend Daoist, your divination techniques are truly divine!"

"If not for you warning me, I might have ended up just as badly."

"I can almost see countless cultivators' hearts shattering!"

Jiao Xiuyuan gloated.

In Tiancei Province, Dantai Can and the others, who had just completed a transaction and felt fortunate about their luck, were stunned when they heard the announcement from the Tianxuan Mirror. They watched in horror as the price of Puqian Zhenye, which they had just bought for 1300 points, plummeted like a snowball.

Many couldn't bear the shock and fainted, spitting out blood.

"Friend Daoist Dantai!"

The cultivators who were still conscious looked at Dantai Can with sorrow and hope that he could do something to help.

Dantai Can's face turned ashen. From the start, it seemed like an invisible hand was manipulating events, leaving him unprepared. He even subconsciously thought this might be a conspiracy against his family.

Jiao Xiuyuan and Li Fan were probably just distractions.

Dantai Can quickly came up with a plan to mitigate losses by spreading their recent discoveries.

"Spread the word about our findings!" he said sternly.

"What?!"

"No, Dantai Brother, remain calm! We haven't reported this to the Immortal Alliance..."

The others were alarmed and tried to dissuade him. But Dantai Can was resolute. He had done most of the work in uncovering this secret.

They reluctantly helped spread the news through various means.

Back on Ten Thousand Immortals Island, Li Fan and Jiao Xiuyuan noticed that Puqian Zhenye's price drop was slowing down. It was still falling, but not as drastically.

"Something's going on. The price of Puqian Zhenye is more resilient than I thought," said Li Fan to Jiao Xiuyuan.

Jiao Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment before saying, "News came that Puqian Zhenye can be used to make magical artifacts that reduce the amount of life essence lost in [Devouring Essence White Mist]... and guide through the misty domain."

Li Fan was surprised: "Is this true?"

"From market reactions, it seems not a lie," Jiao Xiuyuan said gravely.

"This must be Dantai Can's secret to minimize losses. I never thought Puqian Zhenye could resist Devouring Essence White Mist. This can change the Xuanhuang Realm!" he muttered, secretly buying back some Puqian Zhenye.

"Then this is why its price steadily increased in my past life," Li Fan realized.

The terror of Devouring Essence White Mist was well known to Li Fan, who had spent years in the Abyss. If he had known Puqian Zhenye's benefits, they wouldn't have been so difficult to build the Tianxuan Lock Spirit Array.

"Even with this, one could explore deeper into the misty domain..."

"Until my transformation and completion of the Tianxuan Lock Spirit Array, Dantai Can didn't reveal anything about it..."

This revelation was shocking. Li Fan and Jiao Xiuyuan fell silent as they pondered.

"Dantai Family is interesting. They don't report such important information promptly," Jiao Xiuyuan broke the silence after a while.

"What's Dantai Family all about?" Li Fan continued.

"Family head Dantai Lixi, a Daoist Sage who has reached the union with dao realm. He is one of three major executives in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance's Policy Hall headquarters."

"Due to his low-profile nature, Dantai Family remains unknown to outsiders until reaching certain levels," Jiao Xiuyuan explained.

Jiao Xiuyuan's tone became strange: "Dantai Can isn't a fool. Why did he make such blunders?"

"This could've helped the Dantai family stabilize their position."

"Unexpectedly, it was discarded for petty gains."

Li Fan pondered and said, "Perhaps this person isn't as foolish."

"After all, Dantai Family is Dantai Family, and Dantai Can is Dantai Can."

Jiao Xiuyuan's words made him think. They chatted briefly before parting ways.

Li Fan used the secret passage in the Thousand Mile Hall to avoid the noisy crowd of cultivators outside and returned to the Tianxuan Mirror. He settled his thoughts and began tallying his gains.

He bought Puqian Zhenye for around 300-400 points, mostly selling it to Dantai Can at about 1300 points. After some losses, he made a fourfold profit.

Subtracting the unexpected loss from buying Lingwucao, Li Fan's assets grew to over 18 million contribution points.

But Li Fan was no longer a greenhorn in cultivation. He remained calm and composed as he opened his shopping list on the Tianxuan Mirror, selecting items that could be useful for future cultivation.

Unfortunately, his current permissions were insufficient, leaving him frustrated with his wealth trapped in a virtual vault.

Soon, a voice from the Tianxuan Mirror called him to the Training Hall for an investigation into whether he manipulated the market or destabilized the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
