Chapter 74: No time to spare
On Ten Thousand Immortals Island, such abnormal fluctuations in the price of Spiritual Mist Grass have long caused a stir.
After Li Fan inquired for a while, he understood the whole story.
As expected, someone set up a trap and severely punished monks like He Zhenghao who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make profits.
It was true that the island where Spirit Mist Grass was planted was destroyed, so after the news was confirmed, many people entered the market decisively, hoping to make a fortune.
But what they don't know is that the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance recently discovered a cave that has been sealed for thousands of years.
It is said that there is abundant wood-attribute spiritual energy inside, and it is covered with various rare spiritual plants.
Spiritual mist grass is everywhere.
One foot could crush several plants to death.
Only the top leaders of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance knew about this before.
And it wasn't until people in the market were bleeding to death for the Lingwu Grass that the news was suddenly released.
No wonder the price of Lingwu Grass suddenly plummeted later.
"It seems that it is impossible for Fellow Daoist He to get back his original roots." Li Fan said with regret with a smile.
"However, this boss is not very kind in his actions."
Li Fan checked the transaction records in the Tianxuan Mirror.
Aoki transforms into a true king.
It was this person who took the lead in raising the price of Lingwu Grass. Then, during the game between the long and short sides, he gave the final fatal blow, severely driving down the price of Lingwu Grass.
It was obviously an insider dog who already knew the news.
Li Fan complained secretly in his heart.
However, even if True Lord Nascent Soul takes action, those who have suffered a loss may not have the courage to go to him to cause trouble.
All I could do was knock out my teeth and swallow blood, thinking I was unlucky.
Even Li Fan couldn't help but maliciously speculate that the island where the spiritual mist grass was planted might have been secretly destroyed by the Nascent Soul Lord.
"The market is really dangerous." Li Fan shook his head.
Just when Li Fan was gloating about his misfortune, a message from He Zhenghao came.
"Fellow Taoist, I have sold all the supplies I took from this trip to Lijie." He Zhenghao's voice became weak as if his body had been hollowed out.
"A total of 2342 contribution points were obtained. As agreed in advance, each of you and I will receive half."
Although He Zhenghao suffered heavy losses in this investment operation, he did not embezzle the compensation that Li Fan deserved.
After receiving 1171 contribution points from He Zhenghao, plus the remaining 125 points, Li Fan's current contribution points reached 1296 points, which was barely enough for a while.
After thinking about it, Li Fan did not choose to retreat immediately, but searched for information about Jiao Xiuyuan.
I heard before that this person can obtain a large number of hidden talismans from the Talisman Hall of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. He obviously has a way. I just took the opportunity to buy some magic talismans to see if I could get some information about Sikong Yi from him.
Wanxian Island is roughly divided into three parts from the inside to the outside.
In the innermost core area, there is the official building of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
Such as the meeting hall, martial arts hall, medicine hall, fu hall, etc.
In the middle area are caves opened one after another. If you have enough contributions, you can buy one here.
No longer need to live in the small space allocated by Tianxuan Mirror.
The corresponding settings in the cave are all available. Everything that can be done in the Tianxuan Mirror space can be done in the cave.
The outermost area is a mixture of commercial and residential areas.
The Dharma Transfer Square and Tianxuan Mirror are also at the junction of this place and the central cave area.
The residences here can only provide the most basic accommodation functions. Without the aura amplification, it is impossible to connect to the Tianxuan Mirror. If you want to practice, you still have to return to the Tianxuan Mirror space.
As for the commercial area, there are some shops that are independent of the Tianxuan Mirror trading system and run by each monk.
The prices of goods in these shops are often lower than those in Tianxuan Mirror, but there is no guarantee of quality either.
Jiao Xiuyuan opened a shop here.
According to the information searched in the Tianxuan Mirror, Li Fan came to the corresponding location.
Thousand Miles Hall.
Li Fan looked up at the crooked plaque and walked in.
The shop was not big, and the floor was full of debris. A man's voice could be heard faintly.
"Let me tell you, these ten hidden talismans must be traded at the price we agreed on before. I don't care how the price drops now..."
"What? You cancel the transaction? You don't even want the deposit!"
boom!
"Damn! Another one! Do you think I, Jiao Xiuyuan, am easy to bully?" A man with a stubble on his face and a dark complexion slammed the table and yelled hatefully.
But immediately, he became depressed and muttered in a low voice: "It's over, it's over. I, Jiao Xiuyuan, never do business at a loss, but I didn't expect that now I have such a large number of hidden talismans in my hands..."
Only then did he notice that there were customers in the store.
But he couldn't see his appearance clearly, so he obviously used a hidden talisman.
He had seen many people like this, and Jiao Xiuyuan didn't take it seriously.
"What do you want to order? Formation talismans, magical weapons and elixirs, everything is available. Large quantity will give you the best!" He greeted lazily.
"How to sell the Hidden Shape Talisman?" the other party asked.
Jiao Xiuyuan's eyes suddenly lit up and he became energetic.
"One piece with 10 contribution points. How many do you want? If it's more than ten, I'll give you a 20% discount. If it's more than a hundred, I'll give you a 50% discount!"
Li Fan smiled: "Why do I need so many if I have nothing to do? Five or six are enough."
After a pause, Li Fanfu said again: "And your price is wrong, isn't it? I bought one in the Tianxuan Mirror before I came here. The hidden talisman that can shield the golden elixir monks from seeing, the current price is only 20 points. You Are these defective products still sold at such high prices?”
Jiao Xiuyuan's face twitched when he heard this, and he quickly changed his words: "Eight points per piece, it can't be lower. You must know that refining the talisman itself also costs money!"
"Okay, give me six." Li Fan didn't bargain any more.
Afraid that Li Fan would regret it, Jiao Xiuyuan quickly took out the six hidden talismans.
"How do you trade?"
Tianxuan Mirror does not support anonymous transactions. If the contribution of both parties is directly traded, the identity will inevitably be exposed.
But Li Fan had been prepared before he came.
"Let's take spiritual stones." He took out five middle-grade spiritual stones from the storage ring and handed them over.
Standard spirit stones are spirit stones jointly produced by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the Five Elders Association. They come in different grades and are equivalent to legal tender in the world of immortality. They have unique anti-counterfeiting restrictions.
The exchange ratio between top grade, top grade, medium grade and low grade spiritual stones is all 10:1.
In the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, a low-grade spirit stone can be exchanged for one point of contribution in equal amounts in the Tianxuan Mirror.
At this time, the five middle-grade spiritual stones handed over by Li Fan were equivalent to 50 contribution points.
"Don't give me the extra ones."
Li Fan put away the Hidden Talisman and asked naturally, "Will you accept the business of gathering information about monks?"
When Jiao Xiuyuan heard this, he immediately became vigilant.
He looked at Li Fan, and after thinking for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "Take it, why don't you take it. I've lost all my business to my grandma's family. If I don't take over some personal work, I won't be able to survive!"
"What's your name and what kind of cultivation level?" Jiao Xiuyuan asked quietly.
"Sikong Yi, in the middle stage of Qi refining."
