Chapter 193: No Capital, Huge Profits

Thus, in his twelfth life, Qingmu Huasheng Zhenjun, the dealer behind the lingwu grass speculation incident, appeared.

In this life, however, he abandoned his role as a dealer and entered the market to profit.

There were many other behind-the-scenes players who held the same ideas as Qingmu.

Driven by these individuals, the price of lingwu grass, after briefly stabilizing at 35 points, began its second expansion.

The day after the incident fermented, the price once surged to 50 points, then fell back to 45 points, fluctuating between 45 and 50 points.

At this time, the fact that the price of lingwu grass had more than doubled in a short period became a hot topic among many Cultivators.

They all glowed with excitement, and in their words, it seemed as if the price of lingwu grass would at least rise to one hundred points.

Gradually, many who were slow to react were inevitably drawn in.

Many Cultivators who had never even known what lingwu grass was before now began to care and participate.

Affected by this, on the third day, the price of lingwu grass successfully broke through the 50-point mark, soaring to 54 points.

Inside Thousand Mile Hall on Wanxian Island.

"Fellow Daoist Jiao, it should be time to make a move now, shouldn't it?" Li Fan asked again.

Jiao Xiuyuan's eyes were filled with greed, and he shook his head abruptly: "No, no, no, this is just the beginning!"

"Right now, this lingwu grass is still lingwu grass. When lingwu grass is no longer lingwu grass, that's when we'll truly make a huge profit!"

"It's close, I feel it's just one last push!"

And He Zhenghao's opinion was completely consistent with Jiao Xiuyuan's.

"Fellow Daoist Li Fan, remember, hold onto your lingwu grass tightly."

"Don't believe what some people say, that its price will plummet. Those are all messages deliberately released by those who haven't entered the market yet, trying to drive the price down."

"Trust my judgment! lingwu grass will still rise!"

…

As if to confirm their words, in the following days, the price of lingwu grass rose amidst fluctuations, climbing all the way to 66 points.

In the tianxuan mirror, Li Fan shook his head.

"It seems that true madness is just a fuse away."

"Of course, it could also be the bursting of the bubble."

Li Fan looked at the two thousand nine hundred lingwu grass he currently held and unhesitatingly chose to sell one thousand of them first.

At this point, Li Fan discovered another benefit of joining the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance system.

Based on the Rank, it offers a corresponding number of buybacks at original price each year.

Li Fan is currently Rank Five.

Three times a year, he can sell materials at the actual market price shown in the tianxuan mirror.

So Li Fan sold the lingwu grass at a price of 66 contribution points.

Sixty-six thousand contribution points instantly entered his pocket.

Li Fan's heart was calm as he continued to observe how this storm would unfold.

The price of lingwu grass, upon reaching 69 points, finally had its upward momentum curbed.

Some people who were originally fanatical also began to feel that the price of this lingwu grass had indeed been hyped too high.

There was a risk of collapse afterward.

Thus, like Li Fan, they chose to secure their profits.

They even tried to speak out, advising their friends to remain rational.

The price did indeed drop slightly because of this, but it was quickly pulled back up by an even greater number of speculative Cultivators.

However, it never managed to break through the 69-point barrier.

The bulls and bears engaged in a fierce struggle here.

It lasted for five or six days without a clear victor.

Just as the stalemate persisted, the situation took an unexpected turn for Li Fan.

The variable Jiao Xiuyuan spoke of truly arrived.

On this day, Jiao Xiuyuan and He Zhenghao's slightly crazed voices came simultaneously.

"Hahaha, Fellow Daoist Li Fan, how's my foresight? The price of this lingwu grass is going to skyrocket!"

"It's here! The business opportunity for dozens of times the profit has finally arrived!"

Li Fan awoke from his Cultivation and glanced at the price of lingwu grass.

At first glance, he thought he had seen it wrong.

One hundred thirty-five contribution points per plant.

Li Fan paused, then looked again.

One hundred sixty-six contribution points per plant.

And this number was increasing at an extremely fast rate.

"How could this be?" Li Fan was astonished.

He quickly inquired.

Jiao Xiuyuan and He Zhenghao, one after another, provided the answer.

Both their voices were trembling with excitement.

"Just now, news came."

"Dragon Abyss, Phoenix Mist City, Vast Mountain…"

"These major lingwu grass cultivation sites within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance were simultaneously attacked by unknown Cultivators."

"All the cultivated lingwu grass was destroyed."

"These people are insane; they even completely destroyed the special environment for cultivating lingwu grass within the cultivation sites!"

"This means that for a long time to come, no new lingwu grass will grow in the entire Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance!"

…

"These people really dared to do it…"

Li Fan couldn't help but fall silent.

He couldn't help but recall the well-known maxim before his Transmigration.

If there is a 10% profit, capital is sure to be used everywhere; with 20% profit, capital becomes active; with 50% profit, capital becomes daring; for 100% profit, capital dares to trample all human laws; with 300% profit, capital dares to commit any crime, even at the risk of the gallows.

Even in a different world, it remained the same.

What's more, at this moment, it was not just three times the profit.

The news of the simultaneous attack on the cultivation sites instantly ignited the price of lingwu grass.

In just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, it rose from over one hundred sixty points to two hundred twelve points.

And it was still rising without a limit.

Those Cultivators who had previously sold lingwu grass at over sixty points, filled with regret, tearfully bought it back again.

And seeing the price of lingwu grass showing signs of another surge, those Cultivators who already held lingwu grass but still had ample funds couldn't resist buying more.

For a time, in the tianxuan mirror, the price of lingwu grass once again surged crazily without reason.

Two hundred fifty-five, two hundred eighty-two, two hundred ninety-nine…

Soon, its price exceeded three hundred points.

At this point, most Cultivators understood that the price of lingwu grass had completely become a bubble.

But they were all gambling.

Gambling that they could get out unscathed before the bubble burst, and incidentally earn back contribution points they couldn't earn in a lifetime of work.

Human greed was fully exposed.

This kind of surge, which could explode at any moment, made Li Fan feel a sense of dread.

A strong feeling of unease suddenly surged in his heart, and at the price of three hundred ten points, Li Fan unhesitatingly sold all of his remaining one thousand nine hundred lingwu grass.

It didn't even cause a ripple; it was instantly swallowed by the irrational Cultivators.

Five hundred eighty-nine thousand contribution points.

Adding the previous sixty-six thousand points, Li Fan looked at his total of six hundred fifty-five thousand contribution points, as if in a dream.
