He Zhenghao is convinced

In just half a day, the price of ugugu obsidian directly doubled.

Furthermore, due to the supply not meeting the demand, the upward trend showed no signs of stopping.

"How could this be?"

He Zhenghao looked at Li Fan again, utterly astonished.

Li Fan, however, wore a solemn expression, once again performing calculations with his fingers, ignoring him.

He Zhenghao could only turn his gaze back to the heavenly mystery little mirror.

The numbers representing his contribution points on it were constantly jumping.

Three hundred eighteen thousand.

Three hundred twenty-eight thousand six hundred.

…

His wealth was increasing at a visible rate.

He Zhenghao pinched himself hard, confirming he wasn't dreaming.

His long-cherished wish of many years, had it actually been realized so easily?

The first one hundred fifty thousand, he had painstakingly accumulated over several decades.

And the next one hundred fifty thousand, it took less than five days.

Is this the Senior Li Fan's way of investment?

If I could learn this skill…

He Zhenghao felt his blood surging, incredibly excited.

He wished he could immediately go and show off to his group of brothers.

Just then, Li Fan's voice suddenly rang out, splashing cold water on him.

"It's time to quit while you're ahead! Sell it now!"

He Zhenghao froze on the spot: "But the price is rising so well right now…"

"Hm?"

Li Fan looked at him askance.

He Zhenghao's breathing hitched.

With great reluctance, He Zhenghao tearfully sold all the ugugu obsidian he held at a price of 630 per jin.

Three hundred thirty-three thousand nine hundred contribution points!

"I'm rich!"

He Zhenghao, who had suddenly become wealthy, stared intently at the heavenly mystery little mirror, muttering to himself.

In his mind, he was already fantasizing about how to spend this huge sum.

"Hmph, I told you it was nothing difficult, but you didn't believe me," Li Fan's voice came, interrupting He Zhenghao's reverie.

"Alright, the bet is over, and you've lost. Hurry up and switch to any Cultivation Technique!"

He Zhenghao startled awake.

He opened the Cultivation Technique exchange list, looking at the Mountain River Hidden Dragon Skill he had been yearning for, and was about to exchange it, but then suddenly remembered that more than half of these three hundred thousand plus contribution points were obtained through Li Fan's guidance.

So he cautiously asked: "Senior, what about those tens of thousands of…"

Li Fan waved his hand, impatiently saying: "It came from the profit of your principal investment; I merely offered advice. How could I ask you for it? Besides, I am not a member of your Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance."

"Furthermore, I have the Sitting Mountain Skill, and your new Cultivation Technique's contribution points are half mine, which is equivalent to receiving my favor…"

Li Fan's words ended there, and He Zhenghao suddenly understood.

Then he was ecstatic.

He thanked Li Fan repeatedly, then exchanged for the Mountain River Hidden Dragon Skill and dispelled the Sitting Mountain Skill's cultivation in one go.

To show his sincerity, He Zhenghao even voluntarily established a contract, completely forgetting the contents of the Sitting Mountain Skill.

Li Fan was very pleased with his performance and patted him on the shoulder.

Then he was about to leave.

"Senior, wait!"

Seeing Li Fan's figure already flying into mid-air, He Zhenghao suddenly came to his senses and quickly shouted.

"What is it now, you brat?"

Li Fan stopped, his brow furrowed.

"Senior, having slept for a thousand years and just now awakened, why not join our Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance?"

"Although I am not qualified enough to introduce you, I know many Nascent Soul cultivators…"

Li Fan's eyes narrowed slightly, seemingly deep in thought.

He Zhenghao's heart swelled with joy, and he continued to persuade: "Times are different now. Without joining the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, trying to be a Loose Cultivator is virtually impossible."

"Besides, I've already told Senior about the various benefits of joining the Alliance. Senior has also personally witnessed the convenience of the tianxuan mirror just now…"

…

Through He Zhenghao's unremitting efforts, Li Fan finally relented and agreed to temporarily join the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

He Zhenghao immediately contacted someone using a communication talisman.

After being busy for a good while, He Zhenghao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Please wait a moment, Senior."

"Once everything is settled with my Fellow Daoist, Senior only needs to go to Wanxian Island and pass the verification."

"What a hassle!" Li Fan snorted, his expression displeased.

He Zhenghao just offered a fawning smile.

After a moment of silence, He Zhenghao finally couldn't resist, tentatively asking: "Senior, how did you know that the price of ugugu obsidian would skyrocket?"

"I've studied it, and there were absolutely no signs!"

Perhaps because waiting was too boring, Li Fan, quite pleased with himself, began to explain to He Zhenghao.

"The Qi of heaven and earth changes constantly, which ordinary people might find difficult to perceive."

"But we, Tianji Sect Disciples, can discern it through secret methods."

"The Dao of wealth is also like this."

He Zhenghao's eyes lit up as he listened: "There's actually such a Divine Ability? To be able to double profits so easily, if it happens a few more times a year…"

Li Fan chuckled derisively: "It's not that easy."

"While Cultivators peer into the Heavenly Mystery, heaven and earth are also observing Cultivators."

"Sensing the Heavenly Mystery doesn't always work."

"Moreover, one must face the backlash of the will of heaven and earth, so it cannot be used too many times."

"The reason it went so smoothly this time is simply because I haven't used this technique for a long time."

Hearing Li Fan's explanation, He Zhenghao couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

But he quickly cheered up again: "Even if it's only once a year, it's still incredibly remarkable!"

Thinking about the more than eighty thousand contribution points he still had left after buying the Cultivation Technique, an idea made his heart pound.

However, he was worried about angering Li Fan, so he hesitated.

"What are you thinking about?"

Unexpectedly, Li Fan seemed to see through him and asked directly.

He Zhenghao decided not to hide it anymore and cautiously asked: "Senior, after you join the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, could you spare some time to guide me again?"

Li Fan looked at him with a half-smile.

He Zhenghao knew his request was a bit excessive, but for the sake of contribution points, he still shamelessly said: "It's truly because Senior's Divine Ability is too incredible."

"We, for profit, have to exhaust our minds and constantly be on tenterhooks."

"Unlike Senior, who is so relaxed and at ease…"

He Zhenghao tried every means to flatter Li Fan.

However, even after he received the notification to go to Wanxian Island to complete the alliance entry procedures, Li Fan showed no intention of agreeing.

Watching Li Fan's disappearing figure, He Zhenghao was filled with regret and sighed.

However, thinking about the Mountain River Hidden Dragon Skill he had already exchanged for, and the surplus contribution points he still had.

He couldn't help but feel a little proud.

"Misfortune truly is where fortune lies; who would have thought that a killing calamity would actually turn into my great Opportunity?"

His heart grew increasingly smug, so much so that he didn't even bother with cultivation, choosing instead to go brag to his friends with whom he usually discussed the Dao of investment.
