However, Li Fan’s face was full of doubt. “Would others really transfer their contribution points so easily? I don’t think so.”
“It would be better if they don’t! This way, we can use it as an excuse to get rid of some of them, so they stop pestering me!” He Zhenghao thought to himself, but he said aloud, “Senior, don’t worry. Too many cultivators have been chasing me recently to ask about this. Even if only a small portion is willing to transfer their contribution points for you to handle, it will still be a considerable amount.”
“Moreover, once Senior displays his divine abilities and returns the contribution points with interest, the results will speak louder than words. Afterward, there will definitely be more and more people willing to rely on Senior.”
He Zhenghao was full of confidence.
Li Fan pondered for a moment, pretending to think it over.
Not long after, he slowly nodded, “It just so happens that I’ve been seeing many new and interesting techniques in the Tianxuan Mirror recently, and I’m itching to try them out. Moreover, in this era of cultivation, it’s true that everything relies on contribution points.”
“If you can really gather a significant amount of contribution points, I don’t mind making it grow several times over.”
Hearing Li Fan’s casual words, He Zhenghao’s eyes lit up.
He thought for a moment and quickly urged, “No need for so much, no need for so much!”
“As for the rest, Senior can keep it for yourself as a reward.”
“Of course, if you could share some of the profits with me as a token of appreciation, that would be even better!”
He Zhenghao said happily.
“Satisfied with just a 50% return in a year?” Li Fan was initially surprised, then nodded, “That works too.”
“Let’s tentatively decide on this for now. You go and contact your friends.”
“Remember, you must choose those who you know well. Contribution points from cultivators with unknown backgrounds should not be accepted.”
After giving a few more instructions, He Zhenghao excitedly took out the sealed communication talisman and began replying to each person.
“Fellow Daoist Zhang, there’s a great opportunity for wealth in front of you. Would you like to give it a try?”
…
“The first batch of contribution points probably won’t be much, but that’s okay.”
“If they don’t believe it the first time, they might hesitate the second time.”
“By the third or fourth time, when they see others making a fortune while they miss out on the opportunity.”
“By the fifth time, they’ll be begging to hand over their contribution points.”
Watching the busy He Zhenghao, Li Fan thought to himself.
Don’t misunderstand.
Although what Li Fan is doing in this world looks very much like some kind of scam, in reality…
Li Fan really does have the ability to lead everyone to make big money.
Not to mention the huge profits he could easily gain by speculating on Lingwu grass.
Simply using the information he gathered during his endless cycles of reincarnation, buying low and selling high, making a 50% profit each year was child’s play.
If certain gifted individuals can do it, there’s no way Li Fan, an anomaly in this cycle of reincarnation, couldn’t.
If that were the case, Li Fan might as well give up on seeking immortality and obediently return to Great Xuan to be a mortal Grandmaster for the rest of his life.
In short, increasing assets is not difficult at all for Li Fan, who holds so much advanced information.
Of course, there are certain limitations.
For example, the overall scale of assets he controls shouldn’t be too large.
And he shouldn’t attract the direct intervention of powers on the level of the Tianxuan Mirror.
But in reality, Li Fan never planned to make too much noise.
His goal was simply to gather a manageable group of followers while improving his cultivation through the [Mountain Sitting] technique.
And when the expansion became too overwhelming and was beyond Li Fan’s control…
Crimson flames will engulf the ocean, and Ink-like darkness will consume the world.
That would be the end of it.
With all the creditors dead, naturally, there would be no debts to settle.
He could then rightfully claim all those contribution points as his own.
This is the preliminary plan.
As for the details, he’ll take it step by step.
After contacting his friends, He Zhenghao went to Ten Thousand Immortal Island to meet with his fellow Daoists.
It wasn’t until most of the day had passed that he returned with a beaming face.
He also brought back over 200,000 contribution points.
As expected, when He Zhenghao stated his request, most of the cultivators backed out.
After all, no one’s contribution points are easy to come by.
It’s one thing to receive guidance from an ‘Ancient Heavenly Mechanism Sect Cultivator’, but to actually hand over their contribution points…
Few were willing to do that.
The 200,000 contribution points gathered this time mainly came from a cultivator named Zhou Peng, who alone contributed 50,000, taking up the majority.
Excluding him, the rest of the contributors averaged less than 5,000 points each.
Even so, He Zhenghao was extremely excited at this moment.
He solemnly transferred the 230,000 contribution points to Li Fan through the small Tianxuan Mirror.
He also didn’t forget to transfer another 100,000 contribution points from his own small vault.
“Senior…”
He Zhenghao opened his mouth to say something but eventually held back.
He simply looked at Li Fan with a burning gaze.
“50,000 contribution points in a year is no big deal. Rest assured!” Li Fan said as he tossed a communication talisman to He Zhenghao. “If there’s anything urgent, I’ll contact you. Otherwise, don’t disturb me!”
He Zhenghao nodded repeatedly, excitedly holding onto the communication talisman.
Li Fan waved him off and returned to Ten Thousand Immortal Island.
“There shouldn’t be any problems…”
He Zhenghao muttered to himself.
Now that the initial excitement had passed, a more rational He Zhenghao couldn’t help but feel uneasy.
But now that the matter has been settled, he can only pray that this senior from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect won’t make any mistakes.
Inside the Tianxuan Mirror.
Li Fan released several scrolls of Lan Xiao’s posthumous works.
While procuring the necessary materials for the empire, he patiently waited.
Sure enough, three days later, the Oracle contacted Li Fan to express his gratitude.
“I still have some rare books here, but I need Senior to do me a small favor.” Li Fan said with a smile.
“Oh?” The Oracle was slightly surprised but still listened with interest to Li Fan’s request.
“Interesting.” It seemed that this fellow was involved in something shady.
But the Oracle didn’t care about that.
In this world, who doesn’t have some secrets?
With a gentle wave of his dust whisk, the Oracle concealed his aura and quietly arrived at Ten Thousand Immortal Island.
After meeting with Li Fan, the two flew directly toward the island where the empire’s people were located.
In a secret chamber, the Empire’s imperial Saint Master, [Qing], who was concentrating on drawing something, suddenly stood up and looked in the direction where Li Fan was coming from, her expression serious.
When Li Fan and the Oracle landed on the island, her face changed slightly.
“The Federation Of All World’s indeed has some weight.”
