My Simulated Road to Immortality

Chapter 601: 573 The Final Situation in the Cumulus Clouds

Chapter 601: Chapter 573 The Final Situation in the Cumulus Clouds

“Zhou Qingang” relayed his speculation smoothly, and upon hearing it, Gao Yuan couldn’t help but slam the table and exclaim, “If the plan is successful, I’m afraid that a vast majority of the cultivators in the entire Misthaven Sea will be indebted to the Emissary.”

“Even if Hongxi and Zi Yun, the two God Transforming Immortal Monarchs, return, they will have to think about the consequences of opposing the Emissary.”

“The Emissary indeed plans far into the future, predicting every step endlessly into the future, exceeding any of our speculations.”

He Zhenghao couldn’t help but sigh at the thought that a seemingly simple plan to amass wealth could include so many twists and turns.

Both of them expressed their deep admiration.

However, they are completely unaware that they overlooked a crucial link in this seemingly plausible plan.

That is whether Li Fan, after absorbing a large amount of contribution points, could actually achieve a “200% return in five years”.

Perhaps it’s because Li Fan showed his incredible abilities several times before, and has subtly brainwashed them.

Or triggered by their assumption that Li Fan is the Immortal Sovereign who has fallen from his realm, they have come to trust Li Fan’s abilities to an unthinking degree.

Anyhow, they have no doubts whatsoever about Li Fan’s ability to achieve the target of the fundraising plan.

Tripling the investments in five years only?

How could that possibly be a challenge for the respected Emissary?

But in actual fact…

Frankly speaking, even if Li Fan has been reincarnating in the Misthaven Ocean and foresees future opportunities,

This time it’s really impossible for him to achieve that.

Not because of his inability, but because once the assets swell to a certain extent, doubling them again would exponentially increase the difficulty.

Simply put, Li Fan is merely a speculator, profiting from the spread of buying low and selling high.

He is not a creator of wealth.

He is not the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, capable of generating unlimited contribution points without restrictions.

With his operation, a few tens of millions of contribution points may barely manage to double.

But if it’s several hundred million, or even over a billion…

Unless the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals or the Five Elders Organization erupt into another great war and he can know about it in advance.

However, it doesn’t matter if he can’t achieve it.

After all, from the very beginning, he never planned to fulfill the promised returns.

That’s why the fundraising this time is planned to be closed off for five years.

After five years, the Crimson Blaze Ocean will become a dead zone.

When everyone is dead, these debts won’t need to be repaid.

Instead of letting the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals regain the contribution points after they die, it’s better to let Li Fan make use of it.

Therefore, Li Fan didn’t feel any pressure at all.

Regarding the so-called return of the Immortal Monarchs Lancang and Haoxuan, and a number of Nascent Soul Monks, even though it is true, it’s just a pretext to deceive He and Gao.

Regardless of their return, Li Fan truly doesn’t care.

As long as they dare to return to the Misthaven Sea, it’s inevitable that they won’t escape death.

However, Li Fan indeed wishes that Zhang Zhiliang and other Array Masters who he is quite familiar with could live a little longer in this life.

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, and at this moment, “Zhou Qingang” turned to He Zhenghao and Gao Yuan and said, “The two of you have already disappointed the Emissary once. You shouldn’t waste the last chance to salvage your reputations!”

“You must implement the Emissary’s plan perfectly.”

Both of them immediately acknowledged this.

They also understand that if the two God Transforming Immortal Monarchs return and Li Fan falls out of favor, as the direct subordinates whom Li Fan personally promoted, their ends would not be any better.

They don’t mention how loyal they are, just for their own future prospects, they must take this seriously and fight hard for it this time.

However, after all, Gao Yuan is a bit more cautious and careful in doing things.

He hesitated for a long time, and before leaving, he cautiously asked Zhou Qingang, “Fellow Daoist Zhou, do you have a token from the Emissary?”

“It’s not that we don’t trust you, but this is a major matter after all…”

“Zhou Qingang” chuckled, ready to reply.

But all of a sudden, two unusual fluctuations emitted from the Storage Rings of He Zhenghao and Gao Yuan.

The two seemed to realize something, their complexions changed.

They quickly took out the sources of the fluctuations — the two Clone Jade Scrolls that Li Fan gave them before his retreat.

The two Clone Jade Scrolls floated in mid-air and astonishingly fused together.

From the faint shadow, Li Fan’s voice came, “What you said makes sense. Given the seriousness of the matter, it indeed requires me to show up.”

Seeing that Li Fan suddenly appeared, He Zhenghao and Gao Yuan were both frightened.

They immediately fell to their knees, bowing and exclaiming, “Greetings, Emissary!”

At the same time, they were extremely nervous.

Because words from Li Fan just now clearly indicated that he has been watching their conversation with Zhou Qingang from beginning to end!

Even more, from the moment the Emissary began his retreat, all of their actions were under his control!

Both men were terrified, with their heads touching the ground, they dared not raise their heads without Li Fan’s command.

“He Zhenghao!”

“Present!” He Zhenghao quickly answered.

“Choose some representatives from the cultivators who participated in the fundraising plan in the past. Set a meeting with them ten days later. It’s time for me to meet them personally.”

“While explaining this five-year plan in person, it’s also good to reassure you.” said Li Fan in a deep voice.

Seeing that Li Fan had given an assignment, He Zhenghao was delighted and immediately agreed to it.

“Gao Yuan!”

“Here!” The voice that Gao Yuan replied with was somewhat trembling.

“Compile a list of Misthaven Sea cultivators who fell during the Sky-spirit State War, and hand it over to me in ten days as well.”

Gao Yuan immediately agreed to his task as well.

As the brightness of the Clone Jade Scroll in the air gradually faded until it was nearly invisible,

With a ‘clink’, it dropped to the ground, and Li Fan’s last words came along, “Remember, Zhou Qingang acts as my representative in all matters in my absence.”

“His words are my commands!”

Zhou Qingang slightly lowered his head, continuously thanking the Emissary. His mouth curled into a smile, clearly reeking of immense satisfaction.

Seeing this, He Zhenghao and Gao Yuan both couldn’t help but feel sour and regretful in their hearts. “The trust that the Emissary initially granted should have been mine!”

But in the end, they wouldn’t dare to complain, and nodded in agreement.

With Li Fan appearing in person, approving the authenticity of the plan proposed by Zhou Qingang,

He and Gao, who had just been taught a lesson, became extremely cautious. They meticulously implemented Li Fan’s will.

After managing for several years, their control over Misthaven City is actually more efficient than Li Fan’s.

Under their manipulation, the news of the imminent end of the great war and the upcoming launch of a new fundraising plan spread throughout the group of Misthaven Sea cultivators within a day.

While it sparked huge waves, it also stirred up the hearts of many.

Countless messages were sent to He Zhenghao, asking him to confirm the veracity of the situation.

He Zhenghao naturally added fuel to the fire and embellished the situation even further.

Thus, ten days later, a group of cultivators gathered, waiting for Li Fan’s arrival.
