Chapter 167 Blue Blood Ice Pill

“Then I’m truly looking forward to it,” Li Fan said with a smile, looking at He Zhenghao, who was full of confidence.

He Zhenghao then boasted about his past achievements, such as doubling his contribution points in ten years, and how one big score could be worth several years of hard work.

It was only when Li Fan gave him a meaningful look that he reluctantly stopped and took his leave.

The tianxuan mirror’s upgrade prompt sounded at the opportune moment.

“Cultivator Li Fan, welcome to the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. As a benefit, you will receive 1000 contribution points for free. You can use contribution points to exchange for Spirit Stones, Cultivation Techniques, Magic Treasures, and more.”

“You have received 1500 contribution points transferred by He Zhenghao.”

“Current total contribution points: 2500 points.”

…

Although he had 2500 contribution points right at the start of this life, this amount was hardly enough to cause any emotional fluctuations for Li Fan, who once had assets exceeding one million.

Especially in the Late Stage Foundation Establishment, the tianxuan mirror’s spiritual enlightenment consumption had already reached 300 contribution points per day.

Li Fan now realized that these 300 contribution points were roughly what an ordinary Late Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator could earn by spending nearly a month on low-risk tasks.

Most of the month was spent running errands, with only one day left for spiritual enlightenment and Cultivation.

Then, back to running errands.

This cycle repeated infinitely.

Adding in the occasional good luck of receiving high-reward, low-risk tasks,

It would take a whole year to accumulate a pitiful amount of contribution points.

This was the fate of ordinary Cultivators in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, like beasts of burden.

If one was unwilling and wanted to take a gamble,

Then there was naturally the risk of falling.

As someone who constantly restarted, Li Fan naturally wouldn’t fall to the same fate.

He used his old trick, bought a storage ring, went out, and returned.

He exchanged the gold, silver, and valuables from the taiyan boat and the zhibu remnant stele.

He received 2831 contribution points.

Still too little!

Li Fan remembered that in about half a year, the Dragon Whale, an exotic beast that gained sentience by devouring numerous azure glaze pearls, would destroy Lingwu Grass Island.

Qingmu Huasheng Zhenjun also used this opportunity to set up a trap and harvest a great deal.

Li Fan naturally didn't want to miss such a feast.

He naturally needed to accumulate enough contribution points before then to participate.

Li Fan couldn't help but look at the previous task of collecting blue blood coral.

Without hesitation, he directly accepted the task.

Then, he directly used the teleportation array to arrive at Wuya Island in the northwestern sea area of Congyun Sea.

The Town Guardian of Wuya Island was also a Foundation Establishment cultivator, his hunched body hidden within a black robe, his Face and expression unseen.

The aura emanating from him was eerie, invisibly keeping people thousands of miles away.

Li Fan merely nodded slightly in greeting before leaving directly.

Stepping out of the island's protective array, Li Fan looked up.

He saw that the sky above the island was perpetually shrouded in a thin layer of gray mist.

Within the gray mist, groups of flying birds could vaguely be seen.

Li Fan flew to the edge of the gray mist, controlling his spiritual power to capture one of the birds, which he then observed closely.

“Caw! Caw!”

This bird was, naturally, the so-called Mist Crow.

It had no physical body; its entire form was composed of this gray mist.

The Mist Crow struggled, flapping its wings, constantly trying to peck at Li Fan with its large, curved beak.

When spiritual power touched the gray mist, it surprisingly produced a faint burning sensation.

This couldn't help but surprise Li Fan a little.

“This Mist Crow seems to have some use, but only those in the Tianji Hall know about it.”

After studying it for a while without any results, Li Fan released it.

Then he got down to business, flying towards the west of Wuya Island.

After flying for over two hundred li, Li Fan suppressed his aura and submerged into the seabed.

Within a vast underwater ruin stretching for dozens of miles, a blue blood coral grew prominently.

It was transparent throughout, emitting a faint, ethereal glow.

Various marine creatures had built their homes around this coral.

Moreover, a sea snake with strength equivalent to a Middle Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator lurked in the vicinity, acting as its guardian.

This serene and beautiful scene was shattered with Li Fan's arrival.

The Binding Insect Divine Power was activated, and at the same time, Huan Zhen transformed into a cang hai pearl.

With a single Cong Yun One Sword, the sea snake immediately lost its life.

“Oh? After the Foundation Establishment Oddity transformed into the cang hai pearl, the power of my Moves within this Congyun Sea actually increased slightly?”

As soon as he unleashed his sword, Li Fan keenly noticed the difference.

He carefully sensed the feelings emanating from his surroundings.

“This feeling, is it the inexplicable sense of closeness emanating from the Congyun Sea?”

“Is it treating the cang hai pearl as a sibling?”

Li Fan chuckled, not paying it much mind, his gaze focused on the blue blood coral.

Amidst a rumble, the blue blood coral was uprooted and placed into his storage ring.

Countless creatures' homes were destroyed, and they scattered in a panic, fleeing for their lives.

Li Fan had no awareness of being a destroyer.

“That’s three thousand contribution points in hand, easier than my Dharma Crossing.”

Li Fan remembered that Elder Chen of the Medicine Hall had always been acquiring this blue blood coral.

So, he carefully recalled where else it existed within the Congyun Sea.

“Hmm, it seems there’s another one not far from here, in an underwater deep valley.”

“Might as well take it too.”

Thus, with little effort, Li Fan dug out another blue coral.

He returned to the tianxuan mirror and chose to submit them.

After receiving the two corals, the other party quickly settled the task reward.

Six thousand contribution points were immediately in hand.

“I wonder what Medicinal Pill Elder Chen wants to refine with this blue blood coral?”

Li Fan casually asked.

After a while, perhaps out of consideration for the two blue blood corals, the other party replied.

“ice intent absolute emotion pill, needed for exploring a Secret Realm. If you can find more of this coral in the future, you can also trade them to me.”

“I’ll take as much as you have.”

…

“ice intent absolute emotion pill, huh.” Li Fan savored the name of the Medicinal Pill, lost in thought.

With the task completed, Li Fan’s contribution points had already exceeded ten thousand.

And it had only been three days since he joined the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

The speed of his contribution point growth was truly astonishing.

Li Fan then looked at the most prominent bounty task.

“The Cloud Water Diagram’s one hundred thousand contribution points, I still can’t miss it in this life.”

“But that old guy called Heavenly Doctor is a bit strange.”

“Judging by his strength, he’s at least a Combined Dao Immortal.”

The scene where the black-clothed Combined Dao from Source Dao Province froze Li Fan's thoughts was still vivid in his mind.

Li Fan naturally wouldn't choose to Face the Heavenly Doctor with his main body.

“It seems I still need to refine a Clone.”

After purchasing all the Materials for refining a Clone, he went to the seabed again to retrieve the heaven crystal spirit sand.

Then, he headed straight for the Immortal Cave where Si Kongyi was hiding.

Si Kongyi and his Clone, Baili Chen, were elusive, and if he were to sense them through Cultivating the Day Stealing Sun Replacement Art, he feared they might escape through a teleportation array.

A chase would inevitably be troublesome then.

It was better to wait here.
