Chapter 154 Daoyun Enlightenment Palm

“Even if it’s a loss, I have to do this first home-delivery business.” Sensing Chu Xingyang, who was currently undergoing Foundation Establishment, Li Fan couldn’t help but exclaim.

Actually, Li Fan wasn’t sure if large-scale, paid Dao transmission was feasible in the Cultivation World.

However, he had enough room for trial and error to try it boldly and without worry.

Therefore, Li Fan wasn't nervous at all.

To better develop Mingyue Palace’s business, Li Fan personally designed two small tools and had a specialist produce a batch for backup.

The first was called the [Bright Jade Talisman]. When the Talisman was activated, it could sense the location of the person borrowing the Cultivation Technique. It could even clearly see the target’s every Move, which would greatly reduce the difficulty of collection work.

In fact, the [Bright Jade Talisman] itself wasn’t mysterious. Its essence was merely a shared perception Talisman. What was truly useful was Li Fan’s Divine Ability, [Formless Killing Intent].

This Move was a Divine Ability he had comprehended after painstakingly observing the killing intent of heaven and earth for decades. It hadn’t disappeared when he dissolved the Cultivation Technique of the “Thousand Machines Jade Ring Golden Chapter.”

After all, the Cultivation Technique was merely a tool for him to observe the Qi of heaven and earth. [Formless Killing Intent] was more of his imitative application after comprehending the killing intent of heaven and earth. It had already become an instinctive existence for Li Fan. Like Binding Insect, it could be used even without any cultivation.

This should also be the reason why Huan Zhen listed it separately.

As for the second item, it was called the [Deterrence Talisman]. Considering that in the future, Cultivators who deliberately defaulted on payments and hid in places like Source Dao City, where direct action was impossible, might be encountered.

Li Fan specially created this batch of [Deterrence Talismans]. Their essence was also very simple, merely an ordinary read-after-burning communication Talisman. What could truly create deterrence was a sentence set within the Talisman.

“If you insist on not repaying and deliberately evade the debt, Mingyue Palace will report the loss of your Cultivation Technique to the Guardian Hall of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance!”

Since the Cultivation Technique was exchanged by Li Fan, he could report to the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance that the exchanged Cultivation Technique had been lost. As for the recovery of the Cultivation Technique, that would naturally be handled by the mysterious and intimidating Guardian Hall.

This was a Move that would result in a lose-lose situation. After the Cultivation Technique was lost and recovered, ownership would naturally revert to the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

The debt evader would lose their life, and Mingyue Palace would lose some contribution points.

It was believed that any Cultivator with a shred of rationality would know how to choose.

As for why these two Talismans were specially created, it was to create a sense of mystery.

A Talisman would fly out, and the Cultivator, who was originally hiding smugly in a safe zone and refusing to pay, would suddenly have a drastic change in expression. After gritting their teeth for a while, they would thenceforth only be able to obediently work to repay their debt.

This highly topical scene would certainly attract many Cultivators to spontaneously inquire about Mingyue Palace.

While serving as promotion, it would also establish a mysterious image of Mingyue Palace in the hearts of Cultivators.

In Li Fan’s mind, there were two key factors restricting the rapid development of Mingyue Palace’s Dao transmission endeavor.

One was Li Fan’s current low contribution points. After the paid Dao transmission to Chu Xingyang, he only had a pitiful 23,600 contribution points left. At most, he could only transmit Dao to two more Qi Refining Perfection Cultivators. And recovering contribution points often took two to three years.

Without enough contribution points for turnover, trying to develop Mingyue Palace’s business on a large scale was simply a joke. And small-scale operations went against Li Fan’s original intention.

“I hope Zhang Zhiliang’s little black box can give me some surprises.” Li Fan thought to himself, sensing that the Formation Seal on his Clone’s side would be unsealed in just over two months.

The second restricting factor was Li Fan’s lack of combat power. Once the business grew, there would inevitably be a shortage of manpower, affecting the efficiency of contribution point collection.

However, there was currently no good solution for this.

In Li Fan’s vision, if he could cooperate with a major force in Dao Source State and share a portion of the profits with them.

Both of these problems would be easily solved. Unfortunately, Li Fan’s current strength in the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment was too weak. Li Fan would not do something like bargaining with a tiger.

For a period of time afterward, besides Chu Xingyang, only one Qi Refining Perfection Cultivator came seeking help.

However, after careful evaluation by the Yin Sisters, this person was rejected.

After declaring that the other party’s affinity with Mingyue Palace was insufficient, Su Xiaomei stepped forward and sent the person away.

“It seems I still have to wait for Chu Xingyang’s wedding, where he will seize the bride and become famous in one battle,” Li Fan thought silently.

To ensure that Mingyue Palace’s first client would achieve a resounding success and thus create a greater sensation, Li Fan decided that, if necessary, he could secretly help Chu Xingyang.

Mingyue Palace’s grand Dao transmission plan had not yet begun. Li Fan stood in the underground treasury at this moment, silently feeling the resonance of tens of thousands of ancient Dao-infused artifacts.

The [Observing the Subtle] Formation had been set up.

Through the amplification of the Formation, the intensity of the Dao rhythm of the Overturning Sea Palm was already strong enough to be perceived.

One day, two days…

After standing still for seven days, a hint of awkwardness flashed across Li Fan’s face.

“Hmm… with my talent, it’s still a bit difficult to comprehend a Divine Ability from this wisp of Dao rhythm.”

“However, fortunately, I am not alone.”

Immediately, Li Fan no longer hesitated and called Xiao Heng and Su Xiaomei in.

“The Dao-infused ancient artifacts you painstakingly collected for several years, now, with the enhancement of my Formation, can finally form a sufficiently powerful resonance.”

“This wisp of Dao rhythm contains a great Opportunity.”

“As for how much you can comprehend, it all depends on your own fortune.”

As soon as Xiao Heng and Su Xiaomei entered the underground treasury, they were deeply attracted by the profound sensation floating within it.

And after hearing Li Fan’s words, their faces lit up with joy.

After bowing in thanks, the two closed their eyes and immersed themselves in comprehending the Dao rhythm.

Li Fan himself did not give up and continued to observe and comprehend with them.

Time passed bit by bit.

This time, the first to gain something was Xiao Heng.

He suddenly opened his eyes, and a fleeting sense of vicissitude flashed in his eyes.

Li Fan still hadn’t comprehended anything.

But seeing Xiao Heng’s expression, he knew that he must have gained something.

However, he did not directly inquire but motioned for him to wait patiently for Su Xiaomei to finish her comprehension.

Another day later, Su Xiaomei also awoke from her Epiphany.

Li Fan led the two of them to the square of Mingyue Palace.

He activated the Kan Spirit Illusory Wave Grand Formation for protection, allowing them to spar freely without worrying about damaging the surrounding environment.

Li Fan then instructed, “You two can spar with each other and verify your respective comprehensions.”

Both nodded simultaneously, looked at each other, and spoke at the same time.

“Little Sister, please enlighten me!”

“Xiao Heng! Be careful!”
