My Simulated Road to Immortality

Chapter 471: Chapter 443: All cultivators beg for wealth and honor

However, doubt filled Li Fan’s face. “Would others readily trade their contribution points? I don’t think so.”

“I prefer it if they are not willing to! This will be a good excuse to get rid of some of them and rid myself of their pestering!”

He Zhenghao thought so, and then he said, “Rest assured, predecessor. Too many cultivators have been asking me about this recently. Even if only a tiny fraction of them were willing to transfer their contribution points to you to manage, it would still be a sizable sum.”

“Besides, once you, predecessor, demonstrate your divine technique and yield a return on their contribution points, actions will speak louder than words. More and more people will be willing to rely on you.”

He Zhenghao was brimming with confidence.

Li Fan remained silent for a moment, showing hesitation.

Not long after, he slowly nodded, “I’ve been seeing many new and exciting techniques in the Tianxuan Mirror recently and I’m quite intrigued. Moreover, in this era cultivation really does require contribution points in all aspects.”

“If you can raise a large amount of contribution points, I might lend my hand to multiply it.”

Hearing Li Fan’s casual words, He Zhenghao’s eyes lit up.

After thinking for a while, he quickly said, “We won’t need that much, really!”

“You should know, if you could increase the initial amount by half within a year, there would be a rush of people willing to entrust their contribution points to you.”

“As for the rest, you can keep it for yourself as a reward.”

“Of course, if you could share a bit with me as a tip, that would be even better!”

He Zhenghao spoke joyfully.

“Are you satisfied with a 50% increase in a year?” Li Fan asked with some surprise, then nodded, “That would indeed be quite good.”

“Let’s tentatively settle for this course of action. You go and talk to your friends.”

“Remember, choose those you truly know well. Contribution points from cultivators with unclear backgrounds are not accepted.”

After giving a few more instructions, He Zhenghao happily took out the sealed communication talisman and started replying one by one again.

“My friend Zhang, there is a money-making opportunity in front of you now. Do you want to give it a try?”

“The first batch of contribution points won’t be much, but that’s ok.”

“The first time they might not believe us, the second time they’ll hesitate.”

“By the third or fourth time, when they see others reaping profits while they miss the opportunity for themselves.”

“By the fifth time they’ll be banging on our door to give us their contribution points.”

Li Fan had such thoughts as he watched the busy He Zhenghao.

Don’t get the wrong idea.

Although what Li Fan was doing seemed very much like a certain kind of scam.

But in truth…

He, Li Fan, genuinely had the ability to make a fortune for everyone.

Aside from the easy profits that could be made by trading Spirit Mist Grass, simply pre-cognizant buying and selling with the various information he collected in his reincarnations is already an easy way to yield a 50% profit annually.

If he, Li Fan, a reincarnated anomaly, couldn’t manage to do this while some people with unique talents could, then he might as well return to Da Xuan and be their mortal teacher for generations to come instead of seeking longevity.

To put it bluntly, for Li Fan, who is firmly in control of more than enough advance information, asset appreciation is not a difficult issue at all.

Of course, there are certain conditions.

For example, the total assets he controls cannot be too large.

For example, he should avoid attracting direct sanctions from powers at the level of the Tianxuan Mirror.

In fact, Li Fan doesn’t intend to make a big fuss.

His goal is to gather some useful forces while he helps others increase their cultivation.

Once they become too inflated, too big for Li Fan to control effectively…

The Crimson Blaze Ocean catastrophe will take place, followed by the Mo Sha World-destroying Catastrophe.

Once the creditors are all dead, there will be no need to talk about debts.

He can then rightfully claim these contribution points as his own.

That’s the basic plan for now.

The details will have to be worked out as they go along.

After contacting his friends, He Zhenghao visited the Ten Thousand Immortals Island and met his friends.

It wasn’t until the latter part of the day that he returned with a smile, bringing back more than 200,000 contribution points.

As expected, when He Zhenghao raised his proposal, most of the cultivators backed out.

After all, nobody’s contribution points were simply obtained.

If you just want pointers from this Ancient Sect of Heavenly Secrets Monk, that’s fine. But if you want us to turn over our contribution points…”

Not many are willing to do so.

The more than 200,000 contribution points raised this time came primarily from a cultivator named Zhou Peng, who contributed 50,000 in one go – the lion’s share.

Excluding him, the average contribution from the others did not exceed 5,000 points.

Even so, He Zhenghao was still very excited.

With a solemn face, he transferred the 230,000 contribution points to Li Fan via the Small Tianxuan Mirror.

He also remembered to transfer another 100,000 points from his own small treasury.

“Predecessor…” He Zhenghao opened his mouth as if wanting to say something, but in the end, he held back.

His eyes burned with anticipation as he watched Li Fan.

“A year later, it’ll be 500,000 contribution points. That’s easy enough! Just relax and leave it to me!”

He handed a communication talisman to He Zhenghao, “I’ll contact you if there’s anything important. Don’t bother me at other times!”

He Zhenghao nodded repeatedly, excitedly holding the communication talisman in his hand.

Li Fan waved and returned to the Ten Thousand Immortals Island.

“There won’t be any problems, right?” He Zhenghao muttered to himself.

Once his initial surge of enthusiasm subsided and his mind began to cool down, He Zhenghao couldn’t help but feel a little worried.

But the rice had been cooked; whatever was done was done. All he could do was pray that the predecessor from the Heavenly Machine Sect would not encounter any mishaps.

Inside the Tianxuan Mirror, Li Fan laid out Lan Xiao’s remaining works.

While purchasing the items that the Empire needed, he patiently waited.

As expected, three days later, Oracle Son contacted Li Fan to express his gratitude.

“I still have some unique books here, but I need you to do me a small favor,” Li Fan said with a smile.

“Oh?” Oracle Son hesitated slightly, but he was still interested in hearing Li Fan’s request.

“Interesting.” It seemed that this fellow enthusiast was up to something shady.

However, Oracle Son didn’t care about that.

In this world, who doesn’t have a secret or two?

Oracle Son lightly shook his whisk, concealing his aura, and quietly arrived on Ten Thousand Immortals Island.

After meeting with Li Fan, the two headed straight for the island where the people from the Empire were located.

In the secret room, the Empire’s holy master, Qing, who had been concentrating on drawing something, suddenly stood up and looked in the direction where Li Fan was coming from, her face solemn.

When Li Fan and Oracle Son landed on the island, her face changed slightly.

“The United Federation of All Realms indeed have some weight.”
