Ten thousand cultivators have heard of my name

“At this moment, Fellow Daoist, your myriad Puppets will come into play.”

Li Fan smiled mysteriously and whispered for a moment.

Jiao Xiuyuan’s eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded repeatedly.

At the same time, in the Town Guardian cities of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, and within various Sect ruins in the wilderness.

Innumerable identical faces began to tell stories to those around them.

The protagonist of the story was a Cultivator from the Ancient Heavenly Mystery Sect who had awakened after a thousand years of slumber.

This person possessed the Tianji Sect’s deduction secret arts, held the supreme treasure [heaven and earth qiankun dice], and could communicate with Yin and Yang, and comprehend creation.

He could even peer through time and foresee the future.

If one could obtain his guidance, various Opportunities would be within reach.

Leaving aside Heaven-Defying changes to one’s fate, becoming rich overnight would certainly be a trivial matter.

He Zhenghao from Congyun Sea was a living example.

If you don't believe it, just inquire!

In short, Jiao Xiuyuan’s description exaggerated Li Fan’s abilities to be miraculous, comparable to an ancient Heaven-Defying Great Master.

Most Cultivators naturally did not believe such exaggerated claims.

They shook their heads, dismissing it as just another Immortal scion creating hype for their own name, a mere gimmick.

But a very small number of Cultivators became interested in Li Fan.

They all inquired with Jiao Xiuyuan about the specific situation.

Jiao Xiuyuan, however, then became tight-lipped.

Once curiosity was piqued, how could it be easily extinguished? Unable to bear the itching in their hearts, many Cultivators sent inquiries to their friends in Congyun Sea.

They were shocked to discover that perhaps this matter was not false nonsense.

In Congyun Sea, there really was a group of Cultivators who had made a huge profit by following Li Fan’s guidance.

Unable to contact Li Fan, they settled for the next best thing and found He Zhenghao, as well as the Cultivators who participated in Li Fan’s first recruitment.

At this time, He Zhenghao was a bit bewildered, with countless inquiry messages constantly appearing, leaving him at a loss.

He could only reply subconsciously.

The other Cultivators who participated in the recruitment were all the same.

Thus, the news was confirmed.

Some were greatly disappointed, because the first phase of recruitment only involved a mere two hundred thousand contribution points.

And this clearly looked like the old trick of robbing Peter to pay Paul, something they themselves could easily do.

However, some, after studying the list of Cultivators who participated in the recruitment, secretly rejoiced, believing they had found a rare Opportunity.

Because they discovered that among the list was a Cultivator named Zhou Peng.

And this Zhou Peng, although his cultivation was not high, had an extraordinary relationship with Gongsun Elder of the Tianji Hall in Congyun Sea.

The name Gongsun Qixuan was known even to Cultivators outside of Congyun Sea.

If this Li Fan was really a swindler, would Zhou Peng foolishly fall for it?

Judging from how Zhou Peng almost always put all his wealth into each recruitment, this Cultivator from the Ancient Heavenly Mystery Sect was probably indeed not simple!

Thus, after another round of screening, although the number of Cultivators inquiring about Li Fan’s contact information decreased.

They became even more enthusiastic.

In Thousand Mile Hall, listening to the feedback from Jiao Xiuyuan, Li Fan remained calm and composed.

After allowing the public opinion to ferment for more than ten days, when the discussion about Li Fan gradually began to decline.

“Fellow Daoist Jiao, it seems we can start the next step of the plan,” Li Fan said in a deep voice.

“Indeed, Fellow Daoist, watch my methods,” Jiao Xiuyuan chuckled, his aura once again becoming silent.

At the same time, throughout the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, whether it was Cultivators watching the show or those desperately seeking Li Fan’s contact information.

They all received new information from Jiao Xiuyuan.

Recently, too many Cultivators wanted to visit, and Great Master Li Fan was truly overwhelmed.

Facing accusations from many “swindlers,” Li Fan decided to prove his strength.

Therefore, he entrusted Jiao Xiuyuan to convey the message uniformly.

The time was set for three days later.

As soon as the news was released, it caused a sensation.

Those who believed in Li Fan were faintly expectant.

While those who had always thought Li Fan was a swindler were full of disdain, waiting for Li Fan to make a fool of himself.

Whether believed or not, the topic was certainly at its peak.

Coupled with those Cultivators who were purely watching the show.

For a time, the vast majority of low-to-mid-level Cultivators within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance were looking forward to Li Fan’s performance three days later.

As for those at the Soul Transformation stage and above, they were not very concerned about these minor commotions.

Only a few who were extremely bored cast their gaze.

Amidst the discussions of the Cultivators, the appointed time finally arrived.

Outside the Thousand Mile Hall, which was usually deserted, was now packed with people.

They all looked expectantly at Jiao Xiuyuan, awaiting Li Fan’s statement.

Innumerable of Jiao Xiuyuan’s Puppets moved in unison, their expressions identical.

He scanned the crowd, his expression solemn.

Clearing his throat, Jiao Xiuyuan said in a deep voice, “Fellow Daoist Li Fan said that to prove he is not a swindler, and to defend the glory of the Tianji Sect.”

“He did not hesitate to damage his lifespan and activate a secret art. He finally succeeded in foreseeing the future once again!”

Jiao Xiuyuan paused slightly, firmly attracting the attention of everyone present.

After a moment, he loudly declared, “He saw that in the near future, the price of an item named [pu xian true leaf] will skyrocket!”

“It will even cause a ripple throughout the entire Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance!”

After he finished speaking, silence fell all around.

Before everyone could react, Jiao Xiuyuan flashed and retreated into the Thousand Mile Hall.

Then, with a bang, the door slammed shut.

No matter how the outside world called out, there was no response.

“pu xian true leaf? What is that? Price skyrocketing? Is it real or fake…?” Most of the onlookers were bewildered and half-believing.

And some quick-witted ones had already swiftly returned to the tianxuan mirror to search and check its price.

They were surprised to find that at the moment Jiao Xiuyuan made his declaration, the price of pu xian true leaf actually soared from 265 points, rising in a straight line.

“Everyone, stay rational! It must be because too many people bought it instantly, which caused its price to go up.”

“This swindler named Li Fan must have hoarded a large amount of inventory early on. He’s just waiting for everyone to drive up the price so he can sell it off!”

A knowledgeable person analyzed, rationally advising the Cultivators around him.

But the price increase was indeed happening before their eyes.

If the price were to fall later, then as long as they sold it quickly before the price dropped, they could still make a small profit, right?

More people, looking at the increasingly high price of pu xian true leaf, finally couldn't hold back and tried to buy a small amount.

Perhaps the quantity each person bought was not too much, but the overall number of Cultivators was quite considerable.

Thus, the upward trend of pu xian true leaf’s price accelerated a few more points.

In a short time, it soared from 265 points to 300 points.

When Li Fan and Jiao Xiuyuan were also frantically buying up goods.

In a certain courtyard in Heavenly Pivot State.

“Fellow Daoist Tantai! Disaster has struck! Look at the price of pu xian true leaf! 310… ”

“No, it’s 320 now!”

And by the time Tantai Can came to his senses, the price had already become 340 points.

“Not good!”

“Never mind the price, quickly buy back all the pu xian true leaf available on the market!”

He said in exasperation.
