My Longevity Simulation
chapter-459

"This is the time, Daoist friend, when your countless puppets will prove their worth."

Li Fan smiled mysteriously and whispered for a moment.

Upon hearing this, Jiao Xiuyuan's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly.

At the same time, in the fortified cities of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance and within the various sect ruins in the wilderness, countless identical faces began to tell stories to those around them.

The protagonist of the story is an ancient cultivator from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, who had been asleep for a thousand years and had just awakened.

This person possesses the secret techniques of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, holding a treasure called the Heaven-Earth Divination Dice. This artifact can communicate with yin and yang and understand the mysteries of creation.

It can even see through time and foresee the future.

If one were to receive guidance from this person, countless opportunities would be within reach.

Not to mention defying fate, becoming rich overnight would be a trivial matter.

He Zhenghao from Congyun Sea is a living example.

If you don't believe it, just inquire, and you'll know!

In Jiao Xiuyuan's description, Li Fan was portrayed as possessing god-like skills, comparable to the ancient, all-powerful beings.

Such exaggerated words were naturally met with skepticism by most cultivators.

They shook their heads, dismissing it as just another attempt by some young immortal to create a name for themselves.

However, a small number of cultivators became intrigued by Li Fan.

They began to inquire about the details from Jiao Xiuyuan.

But at this point, Jiao Xiuyuan stopped talking.

Having their curiosity piqued, they couldn't easily let it go. Their curiosity became unbearable, leading many cultivators to inquire with their friends from Congyun Sea.

They were shocked to discover that perhaps this was not just baseless talk.

In Congyun Sea, there really was a group of cultivators who had made huge profits under Li Fan's guidance.

Unable to contact Li Fan, they turned to He Zhenghao and other cultivators who had participated in Li Fan's first recruitment.

At this point, He Zhenghao was a bit overwhelmed, as countless inquiries flooded in, leaving him at a loss for how to respond.

He could only reply instinctively.

The other cultivators who participated in the recruitment did the same.

Thus, the information was confirmed.

Some were greatly disappointed, as the first round of recruitment had only a mere 200,000 contribution points.

This seemed like an obvious scam, just a simple scheme to rob Peter to pay Paul, something they themselves could easily pull off.

But others, after researching the list of participating cultivators, were secretly delighted, thinking they had found a rare opportunity.

They discovered that one of the cultivators on the list was named Zhou Peng.

Although Zhou Peng's cultivation was not high, he had a close relationship with Elder Gongsun of the Tianji Hall in Congyun Sea.

Even cultivators outside of Congyun Sea had heard of Gongsun Qixuan's name.

If Li Fan were truly a scammer, would Zhou Peng have fallen for it so foolishly?

Considering that Zhou Peng had nearly bet his entire fortune on each recruitment, it seemed that this ancient Heavenly Mechanism Sect cultivator was indeed extraordinary!

After another round of filtering, although the number of cultivators inquiring about Li Fan's contact information decreased, their enthusiasm grew stronger.

In the Qianli Hall, Li Fan sat calmly, listening to the feedback from Jiao Xiuyuan without showing any emotion.

After letting the rumors brew for more than ten days, as public discussion about Li Fan began to decline, Li Fan said in a deep voice, "Daoist Jiao, it seems we can proceed with the next step."

"Indeed, Daoist friend. Watch my methods," Jiao Xiuyuan replied with a chuckle, his aura once again becoming subdued.

At the same time, throughout the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance, whether it was cultivators watching from the sidelines or those desperately seeking Li Fan's contact information, they all received new information from Jiao Xiuyuan.

Recently, too many cultivators have been seeking out Li Fan, causing him great distress.

Facing numerous accusations of being a "fraud," Li Fan decided to prove his abilities.

So, he entrusted Jiao Xiuyuan to relay a unified message.

The time was set for three days later.

As soon as this news broke, it caused a sensation.

Those who believed in Li Fan were quietly excited.

Those who had always thought Li Fan was a fraud were full of disdain, waiting for him to make a fool of himself.

Regardless of belief, the topic was on everyone's mind.

Including those who were merely curious bystanders.

For a time, the vast majority of mid- to low-level cultivators in the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance were looking forward to Li Fan's performance in three days.

As for those at the Soul Transformation stage or above, they were not very concerned with these small matters.

Only a few who were extremely bored paid any attention.

Amidst the discussions of countless cultivators, the appointed time finally arrived.

The once-desolate area outside the Qianli Hall was now crowded with people.

They all waited eagerly, watching Jiao Xiuyuan, anticipating Li Fan's speech.

Numerous Jiao Xiuyuan puppets moved in unison, their expressions identical.

He scanned the crowd with a solemn look.

Clearing his throat, Jiao Xiuyuan spoke in a deep voice: "Daoist Li Fan has said that to prove he is not a fraud, and to defend the honor of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, he is willing to sacrifice his lifespan to activate a secret technique. He has successfully foreseen the future once again!"

Jiao Xiuyuan paused slightly, holding the crowd's attention.

After a moment, he loudly declared: "He saw that, not long from now, an item called Samantabhadra True Leaf will experience a massive price increase!"

"It will even cause a stir throughout the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the surroundings fell silent.

Before the crowd could react, Jiao Xiuyuan swiftly retreated into the Qianli Hall.

With a bang, the doors slammed shut.

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

"Samantabhadra True Leaf? What is that? A price surge? Is this for real..." Most of the onlookers were puzzled, unsure whether to believe it.

However, some quick thinkers had already rushed back to the Tianxuan Mirror to check its price.

They were astonished to find that at the moment Jiao Xiuyuan made his declaration, the price of the Samantabhadra True Leaf had suddenly surged from 265 points.

"Everyone, stay rational! The price surely rose because too many people bought it at once," one knowledgeable cultivator analyzed calmly, trying to persuade the others.

"But this guy named Li Fan is obviously a scammer who must have hoarded a large stockpile of it beforehand. He’s just waiting for everyone to drive the price up so he can sell!"

However, the price increase was happening right before their eyes.

If the price were to drop later, as long as they sold before it fell, they could still make a small profit, right?

More people, seeing the rising price of the Samantabhadra True Leaf, couldn't resist and bought a small amount.

Though individual purchases were not large, the number of cultivators was considerable.

As a result, the price increase of the Samantabhadra True Leaf accelerated.

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

Li Fan and Jiao Xiuyuan were frantically buying up the stock

In a courtyard Somewhere in the Tianxu State:

"Daoist Tantai! Disaster! Look at the price of the Samantabhadra True Leaf! It's 310..."

"No, it's 320 now!"

And by the time Tantai Can realized it, the price had already reached 340 points.

"This is bad!"

"Forget the price! Quickly buy up all the Samantabhadra True Leaf available on the market!"

He shouted in frustration.
