Puxian’s true magical power
What happened next was predictable.
Amidst the stampede caused by Cultivators scrambling for their lives, the price of pu xian true leaf plummeted.
After just crossing the one-thousand point mark, it crashed like a waterfall.
This spectacular scene made Jiao Xiuyuan exclaim in admiration.
"Fellow Daoist's deduction technique is truly miraculous!"
"If it weren't for your reminder, I might have ended up like them."
"I can already imagine countless Cultivators' Dao Hearts shattering!"
Jiao Xiuyuan said, gloating.
Heavenly Pivot State.
Tantai Can and others, who had just completed their transactions and were secretly congratulating themselves on their good fortune, immediately had their expressions turn incredibly complex upon hearing the tianxuan mirror's announcement.
Then, they personally witnessed the price of the pu xian true leaf, which they had just bought back at the exorbitant price of 1300, collapse in an instant.
Many people couldn't withstand the blow, spitting out a mouthful of blood and directly fainting.
"Fellow Daoist Tantai!"
The Cultivators who were still conscious looked at Tantai Can with indignation, hoping that this leader of the Tantai Family could come up with a solution.
Tantai Can's face also turned ashen at this moment.
From the very beginning, this incident seemed to be controlled by an invisible giant hand, and its various developments caught him off guard.
He even subconsciously thought that perhaps this matter was a conspiracy against the Tantai Family from beginning to end.
That Jiao Xiuyuan and the Tianji Sect Cultivator Li Fan might both be a smokescreen for the other party.
As various possible targets flashed through his mind, Tantai Can was also actively thinking about countermeasures.
The losses from this back-and-forth were simply too great.
Even though his position within the family had become increasingly stable over the years, he would inevitably be punished.
Perhaps, this would even be used as an excuse by his brothers to attack him.
"No, at least some losses must be recovered."
Tantai Can gritted his teeth, and an idea appeared in his mind.
"Spread our latest discovery!"
He said in a deep voice.
"What?"
"No! Brother Tantai, calm down!"
"We haven't reported this matter to the Immortal Alliance yet…"
The others were all greatly surprised and panicked upon hearing this, repeatedly trying to dissuade him.
However, Tantai Can's mind was made up, and Tantai Can had taken most of the credit for discovering this secret matter.
They could only cooperate.
Through their respective means, they disseminated the news into the market.
Thus, Li Fan and Jiao Xiuyuan, who were inventorying their gains on Wanxian Island, suddenly saw the downward trend of pu xian true leaf slowly slowing down.
Although it was still slowly declining in price, the state of collapse had gradually passed.
"Hmm? What's going on? The price of pu xian true leaf is more resilient than expected."
Li Fan glanced at Jiao Xiuyuan.
Jiao Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, then said with an inexplicable expression: "News came from somewhere that using a large amount of pu xian true leaf to create Magical Artifacts can reduce the amount of Lifespan devoured by the Devouring Yuan White Mist…"
"Furthermore, it can also indicate direction in the vast Mystic Domain of White Mist."
Jiao Xiuyuan narrowed his eyes, clearly also learning of this for the first time.
Li Fan was immediately surprised: "Is it true or false?"
"Judging from the market's reaction, it shouldn't be false."
Jiao Xiuyuan said in a deep voice.
"It seems that this is the secret revealed by Tantai Can to reduce his losses. I really didn't expect that pu xian true leaf would have such a use. Being able to resist Devouring Yuan White Mist, this is something that can change the landscape of the Xuanhuang World."
He muttered softly, seemingly also quietly buying back pu xian true leaf.
"So this was the reason its price steadily rose in the previous life."
Li Fan suddenly realized.
Li Fan, who had spent several years in the Chizha Abyss, naturally understood the horror of the Devouring Yuan White Mist perfectly.
If he had known the marvelous use of pu xian true leaf at that time, the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Formation in the mist would not have been so difficult to construct.
"Furthermore, with this item, one can explore deeper into the Mystic Domain…"
"And in the previous life, until I had transformed into a substance and the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Formation was fully built, Tantai Can never revealed any news about this…"
This news was a bit too shocking.
For a time, Li Fan and Jiao Xiuyuan both fell into their respective thoughts, and the Thousand Mile Hall was silent.
"The Tantai Family is still interesting. They discovered such important intelligence, yet didn't report it promptly."
Soon after, it was Jiao Xiuyuan who broke the silence.
"What is the origin of this Tantai Family?"
Li Fan followed up the topic and asked.
"The Family Head, Tantai Liruo, is a Combined Dao Immortal, and one of the three giant executives of the Bu Zheng Hall headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance."
"Because of his low-key actions, the Tantai Family has always been unknown to outsiders."
"Only upon reaching a certain Rank does one know the terrifying nature of the Tantai Family."
Jiao Xiuyuan explained to Li Fan.
"However, the Bu Zheng Hall is not his Tantai Family's one-man show. With such a big blunder this time, he will surely have to give an explanation for it."
Jiao Xiuyuan's tone suddenly became a bit strange: "I don't think Tantai Can is a fool, so why is he making so many bad moves this time?"
"Logically speaking, the Rank of importance of this matter could have helped the Tantai Family gain a more stable foothold."
"I didn't expect him to throw it out for such a small gain."
Li Fan pondered for a moment and analyzed: "Perhaps, this person isn't really that foolish."
"After all, the Tantai Family is the Tantai Family, and Tantai Can is Tantai Can."
Although seemingly a bit convoluted, Jiao Xiuyuan listened and seemed to be deep in thought.
After that, the two chatted for a while longer, agreeing to cooperate again if the opportunity arose.
Li Fan, using the secret passage within the Thousand Mile Hall, avoided the dense crowd of Cultivators outside who were loudly demanding an explanation, and quietly returned to the tianxuan mirror.
After calming his thoughts, Li Fan began to tally his gains from this venture.
pu xian true leaf, acquired at around three to four hundred points, with most sold to Tantai Can at around one thousand three hundred points.
A small portion was sold midway.
All in all, it roughly quadrupled.
Deducting the unexpected losses from previously purchasing lingwu grass.
And Li Fan's net worth increased from over five million contribution points to the astronomical figure of eighteen million six hundred thousand.
However, Li Fan was no longer the greenhorn who had just entered the Cultivation World.
At this moment, facing such a massive amount of contribution points, he remained calm and unfazed.
He simply skillfully opened the tianxuan mirror's shopping list, not only massively purchasing items needed for transactions with the Empire, but also constantly selecting items that might be useful for his future cultivation.
Unfortunately, his current authority Rank was not high enough, making Li Fan sigh that he had a treasure mountain but couldn't spend from it.
The blissful days of extravagant spending didn't last long.
Soon, as Li Fan had anticipated, a voice sounded from the tianxuan mirror.
It ordered him to immediately go to the Yanwu Hall for investigation.
Regarding whether he had maliciously manipulated the market or engaged in behavior that disrupted the stability of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
