第六十五章 十万贡献度

In his previous life, Li Fan spent most of the treasures he had gathered by washing and whitewashing them to obtain a slot for the Lustrous Isle's Purification Spirit Pool.

Finally, only 235 contribution points remained after all that.

This year, with a total of 863 contribution points, Li Fan realized why cultivators would secretly help ordinary people cross into the world of cultivation.

He had earned over eight hundred contribution points by just raiding a few greedy officials and powerful families. Cultivators could easily earn a thousand or more in a single trip. Knowing that an alchemy technique cost around a thousand contribution points, this was quite a significant income for him.

"Money moves the heart..."

Li Fan sighed. He then took out the lustrous pearl he had obtained from the giant lustrous fish.

"The Lustrous Pearl, worth 850 contribution points."

After some thought, Li Fan realized that the Lustrous Pearl was a weaker version of the Lustrous Pill. While its effects were slightly inferior, it wouldn't consume any resources. He decided to keep it for future use and didn’t exchange it.

Looking at his total 2,831 contribution points, Li Fan shook his head.

It wasn't enough; he still needed more!

Knowledge about celestial rarities required over two thousand contribution points. During the previous life when he was being pursued by the Thousand Immortals Sect's guardians, Li Fan had realized that while he possessed a late-stage Qi Refinement realm, his actual combat strength was quite low.

The *Thousand Mechanisms and Jade Circle* was his main cultivation technique, but it lacked effective killing methods. Apart from his领悟 of the Formless Killing Opportunity, he had no other means to defend himself.

While the Formless Killing Opportunity was powerful, it often required a significant amount of time before taking effect. It was suitable for ambushing people secretly but not for direct combat.

In a fight or when surrounded, Li Fan could only choose to flee. With his current knowledge limited to the most primitive *Wind Manipulation Technique*, he had little chance of outpacing others.

Trapped between a rock and a hard place, it was inevitable that he would suffer a tragic fate.

Therefore, the various killing techniques, evasive arts, defensive techniques, and all manner of magical weapons, talismans, and elixirs in the *Ten Thousand Immortals Mirror*...

Li Fan wanted them all!

The contribution points were far too few.

After some contemplation, he checked other cultivators' posted bounties in the *Ten Thousand Immortals Mirror*.

In his previous life, when he had merged with Cunyun Sea's consciousness, he saw many hidden treasures within it. Some of these were within reach for his current strength, like the Lustrous Pearl.

Many others were extremely dangerous and even low-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators couldn't easily covet them. Rather than leaving these secrets to rot in the sea, Li Fan decided to sell some early on to quickly convert them into combat power.

His gaze swept over the bounties.

When he saw one of them, Li Fan paused.

With his divine sense activated, he checked the details of the bounty.

Master Chen from the Medicine Hall was short a reagent for his alchemy: Blue Blood Coral.

He offered a reward to the Thousand Immortals Alliance: 1000 contribution points for anyone who provided information that could be verified; 3000 contribution points for those who directly provided the Blue Blood Coral.

Li Fan read through the other bounties, and this was the most lucrative one he knew. He accepted it.

"The Northwest Sea of Cunyun Sea, westward from Fog Crow Island by over two hundred miles. I saw such coral in the sea once."

"Unfortunately, there is a sea snake guarding the coral."

"I couldn't determine its exact strength, but just looking at it gave me a sense of imminent danger."

...

Li Fan concocted an explanation and submitted the bounty.

He believed that with the Thousand Immortals Island's efficiency, his information would be verified soon.

Sure enough, only half a day later, Li Fan received the reward for the bounty.

However, what was intriguing was that the Blue Blood Coral bounty remained posted even after he had claimed it.

"Master Chen must need quite a lot of this Blue Blood Coral; I wonder what kind of elixir he is trying to concoct."

Just one reagent worth 3000 contribution points indicated that his intended elixir would be extraordinary.

But Li Fan was merely curious.

Master Chen was rumored to be the chief elder of the Medicine Hall on Thousand Immortals Island, a high-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. At this level, Li Fan was still far away.

He suppressed his curiosity and focused on the most prominent bounty in the list.

This was also why he urgently needed to improve his strength.

Bounty: Reward for obtaining *Cloud Water Scroll*.

Reward: 100,000 contribution points.

Two simple lines with no further explanation.

But the number of 100,000 contribution points had all cultivators swaying and unable to control their emotions.

One hundred thousand contribution points!

Many Thousand Immortals Alliance members might never accumulate such a sum in their lifetimes. With this many contribution points, reaching the Golden Core realm wouldn't be difficult!

Countless cultivators read these two lines over and over, imagining themselves achieving glory after completing the task.

Unfortunately, the bounty had been posted for over ten years without anyone completing it. Even the nature of *Cloud Water Scroll* remained a mystery.

The poster was also extremely mysterious, never revealing their identity or making any statements.

It seemed to say that those who understood would know; those who didn't wouldn't benefit from explanations.

In Cunyun Sea, no one knew where the *Cloud Water Scroll* was—except Li Fan.

"The *Cloud Water Scroll*, Cloud Water Heavenly Palace," Li Fan repeated in his mind.

This scroll worth 100,000 contribution points was located within the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace.

The Cloud Water Heavenly Palace, or its ruins, were the place where Xiao Heng mentioned in his letter when he searched for celestial rarities.

No one knew about this secret because the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace had yet to appear in the world.

In his previous life, Li Fan was drawn to the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace due to Xiao Heng's message and recorded it as a significant event.

The Cloud Water Heavenly Palace stood alone on the ocean, the most powerful sect within Cunyun Sea during ancient times.

When the Great Tribulation descended, Cloud Water Heavenly Palace survivors engaged in fierce battles among themselves until only one in a thousand remained. They decided to activate their protective array and went into seclusion ever since.

The Cloud Water Heavenly Palace was hidden by an array, concealed deep within the central sea of Cunyun Sea.

It reappeared after 10,000 years when the array broke down. However, even those who chose seclusion couldn't escape their fate. When the cultivators entered, they found that the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace had become a place filled with eerie ruins.
