My Longevity Simulation
chapter-427

It only took half a day.

Due to the overwhelming demand, the price continued to rise, showing no signs of stopping.

“How is this possible?”

He Zhenghao looked at Li Fan in shock again.

Li Fan, however, looked solemn and began calculating with his fingers, ignoring him.

He Zhenghao could only look back at the Tianxuan Mirror.

The number representing his contribution points was constantly jumping.

Three hundred and one thousand eight hundred.

Three hundred and two thousand eight hundred and six.

…

His wealth was increasing at a visible rate.

He Zhenghao pinched himself hard, making sure he wasn’t dreaming.

His long-held desire had been so easily fulfilled?

He had spent decades accumulating the first one hundred and fifty thousand.

But the next one hundred and fifty thousand had been earned in less than five days.

Is this the way of investment that Senior Li Fan practiced?

If I could learn this skill…

He Zhenghao felt a surge of blood, his excitement overwhelming him.

He couldn’t wait to brag to his brothers.

Just then, Li Fan’s voice suddenly rang out, dousing him with cold water.

“It’s time to cash out! Sell everything now!”

He Zhenghao froze on the spot. “But the price is still rising…”

“Hmm?”

Li Fan looked at him sideways.

He Zhenghao’s breath hitched.

With a heavy heart, He Zhenghao sold all his Obscure Jade at 630 contribution points per pound.

333,900 contribution points!

“I’m rich!”

He Zhenghao, who had suddenly become wealthy, stared intently at the Tianxuan Mirror, muttering to himself.

He was already fantasizing about how to spend this huge sum.

“Hmph, I told you it would be easy, you wouldn’t believe me.” Li Fan’s voice came, interrupting He Zhenghao’s reverie.

“Alright, the bet is over, you lost. Go ahead and change your cultivation technique.”

He Zhenghao snapped out of it.

He opened the cultivation technique exchange list, looked at the Mountain River Hidden Dragon Technique that he had been longing for, and was about to exchange it, but then he remembered that half of his thirty thousand contribution points had been earned through Li Fan’s guidance.

He cautiously asked, “Senior, about those tens of thousands of…”

Li Fan waved his hand impatiently, “It’s your investment that yielded a profit. I only gave advice. How could I possibly ask for it from you? Besides, I’m not a member of your Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.”

“Moreover, I have the Sitting Mountain Technique, and your contribution points for changing techniques are half mine, so you’re also benefiting from me…”

Li Fan said no more, and He Zhenghao understood.

He was overjoyed.

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

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

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

Then he was about to leave.

“Senior, please wait!”

Seeing Li Fan already flying in the air, He Zhenghao suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly shouted.

“What else do you want, you brat?”

Li Fan paused, his brow furrowed.

“Senior has been asleep for a thousand years, just waking up. Why not join our Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance?”

“Although I’m not qualified to introduce you to Senior, I know many Nascent Soul cultivators…”

Li Fan’s eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was thinking.

He Zhenghao’s heart leaped with joy, and he continued to persuade, “Times are different now. If you don’t join the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, it’s difficult to be a lone cultivator.”

“Besides, I told you about the benefits of joining the alliance. Senior has just seen the convenience of the Tianxuan Mirror…”

…

After He Zhenghao’s persistent efforts, Li Fan finally agreed to temporarily join the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

He Zhenghao immediately used a communication talisman to contact them.

After busying himself for half a day, He Zhenghao finally relaxed.

“Please wait a moment, Senior.”

“Once everything is settled with my friend, Senior just needs to go to the Ten Thousand Immortals Island and go through the verification process.”

“It’s such a hassle!” Li Fan snorted, looking displeased.

He Zhenghao could only smile apologetically.

After a moment of silence, He Zhenghao finally couldn’t help but ask tentatively, “Senior, how did you know the price of Obscure Jade would skyrocket?”

“I studied it, and there was no indication at all!”

Perhaps because he was bored from waiting, Li Fan explained to He Zhenghao with a hint of self-satisfaction.

“The Heavenly Energy is constantly changing, and ordinary people may not be able to perceive it.”

“But disciples of the Ancient Tianji Sect can use secret methods to understand it.”

“The way of wealth is the same.”

He Zhenghao’s eyes lit up. “There is such a divine ability? It’s so easy to double the investment, if it happens a few times a year…”

Li Fan chuckled, “It’s not that easy.”

“When cultivators peek at Heavenly Secrets, Heaven is also watching them.”

“Perceiving Heavenly Secrets doesn’t always work.”

“Moreover, you have to face the backlash from the will of Heaven, and you can’t use it too many times.”

“This time it was so smooth 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 soon he was cheered up again. “Even if it’s only once a year, it’s still incredibly amazing!”

Thinking about 88,000 contribution points he had left after buying the cultivation technique, an idea popped into his mind.

However, he was afraid of offending Li Fan, so he hesitated.

“What are you thinking about?”

Li Fan seemed to see through him and asked directly.

He Zhenghao decided not to hide it anymore and asked cautiously, “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 smile.

He Zhenghao knew his request was a bit excessive, but for the sake of contribution points, he still said with a thick face, “Senior’s divine ability is truly unbelievable.”

“We have to rack our brains and worry constantly to make a profit.”

“Unlike Senior, who is so carefree…”

He Zhenghao tried his best to flatter Li Fan.

However, until he received the notification to go to Ten Thousand Immortals Island for the alliance procedures, Li Fan had no intention of agreeing.

Watching Li Fan disappear, He Zhenghao was full of regret and sighed.

However, thinking about the Mountain River Hidden Dragon Technique he had exchanged for, and the remaining contribution points, he couldn’t help but feel a little proud.

“It’s truly a blessing in disguise, who would have thought that a deadly劫 would turn into such a great opportunity for me?”

He was increasingly proud of himself, and he even forgot about cultivating, instead choosing to brag to his friends who usually discussed investment strategies with him.

…

Ten Thousand Immortals Path, deep within the Administrative Hall.

In the same space where countless tall red wooden cabinets stood, Li Fan stood on the white jade Heart Examination Platform, listening to the questions of the elderly man with white hair before him.

“You say you are a cultivator of the Ancient Tianji Sect, and that you fell into a deep slumber due to an accident?”

Li Fan nodded. “That’s right.”
