The Ten Thousand Immortals Island was buzzing with the unusual fluctuations in the price of Spirit Mist Grass.

With a little inquiry, Li Fan soon understood what was going on.

As expected, someone had set up a scheme and taken advantage of cultivators like He Zhenghao, who intended to make a profit from the situation.

The destruction of the Spirit Mist Grass Island plantation was true, so after the news was confirmed, many decisively entered the market, hoping to make a fortune.

What they didn’t know was that the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals had recently discovered a cave that had been sealed for a thousand years.

It was said to be filled with abundant wood-attribute spiritual energy and various rare spiritual plants.

The Spirit Mist Grass was everywhere.

So much that you could step on several plants with a single foot.

The matter had only been known to the higher-ups of the Immortal Alliance until the market became a bloody battleground for Spirit Mist Grass, which was when the news was suddenly released.

No wonder the price of Spirit Mist Grass plummeted out of blue.

“It seems that Daoist He has no chance of breaking even,” Li Fan said with a smile of regret.

“But whoever did this wasn’t very fair.”

Li Fan was looking at the transaction records in the Tianxuan Mirror.

True Lord Qingmu Hua.

It was he who first inflated the price of Spirit Mist Grass. Then, during the tug-of-war between the bulls and bears, he gave the final fatal blow, sending the price of Spirit Mist Grass plummeting.

Clearly, he was an insider who knew the news in advance.

Li Fan grumbled to himself.

However, not many people dared to trouble Lord Nascent Soul, even those who suffered losses.

They could only swallow their anger and accept their bad luck.

Li Fan couldn’t help but maliciously speculate that the Spirit Mist Grass Island might have been secretly destroyed by the Lord Nascent Soul.

“The market is indeed a dangerous place,” Li Fan shook his head.

Just when Li Fan was gloating over his fortune, a message from He Zhenghao arrived.

“My friend, I have sold all the materials you brought back from the Outsider Realm.” His voice sounded weak, as if he had been drained of energy. “I received a total of 2342 contribution points, half for each of us, as we agreed beforehand.”

Although He Zhenghao had suffered major losses in this investment venture, he didn’t embezzle Li Fan’s share.

After receiving the 1171 contribution points from He Zhenghao, plus the remaining 125 points he had, Li Fan had 1296 contribution points in total, which was barely enough for a while.

After thinking for a moment, Li Fan didn’t choose to enter seclusion immediately. Instead, He looked up information about Jiao Xiuyuan.

Apparently, he had connections that allowed him to get a large batch of Invisible Talismans from the Tower of Runes of the Alliance of Immortals. Li Fan could use this opportunity to inquire about Sikong Yi while purchasing some spirit symbols.

The Ten Thousand Immortals Island was roughly divided into three major areas from inside to outside.

The innermost core area was where the buildings of the Immortal Alliance were located.

Such as the council hall, Martial Arts Battle Hall, Medical Hall, Tower of Runes, and so on.

The middle area was filled with opened cave mansions, which one could purchase if they had enough contribution points.

There was no need to live in the cramped space provided by the Tianxuan Mirror anymore.

These cave mansions were fully-equipped, and everything that could be done in the Tianxuan Mirror space could also be done here.

The outermost area was a mix of commercial and residential districts.

The Dharma Dissemination Square and Tianxuan Mirror were located at the border between this place and the central cave mansion area.

The houses here could only provide basic accomodation. There was no spiritual energy amplification, and there was no way to connect with the Tianxuan

Mirror. So, if you want to cultivate, you still have to go back to the Tianxuan Mirror’s space.

As for the commercial district, it housed shops run by cultivators themselves, independent from the Tianxuan Mirror trading system.

The prices of the goods in these shops were usually lower than those in the Tianxuan Mirror, but the quality was not guaranteed.

Jiao Xiuyuan had a shop here.

Following the information he’d found in the Tianxuan Mirror, Li Fan arrived at the designated location.

Thousand Miles Hall.

Lookilu at the slightly slanted plaque, Li Fan walked in.

The shop wasn’t very big, and it was filled with clutter. A man’s voice could be faintly heard.

“I’m telling you, these ten Invisible Talismans must be traded at the price we agreed on before. I don’t care how much the price has dropped now…” “What? You’re canceling the deal? You don’t even want the deposit!” Bang!

“Damn it! Another one! Everyone thinks they can bully Jiao Xiuyuan!” A man with a beard-stubbled face and dark complexion, slammed the table and yelled angrily.

But immediately, he deflated, muttering to himself, “It’s over, it’s over. I, Jiao Xiuyuan, never do business at a loss, but now I’ve got all these Invisible talismans on hand…”

It was then that he noticed a customer had walked into his shop.

But he couldn’t see the visitor’s face, they must have used an Invisible Talisman.

He’d seen many such people before, so Jiao Xiuyuan didn’t think much of it.

“What do you want? Array Talisman, Magic tools, Elixirs, everything. Discounts available for bulk orders!” he called out lazily.

“How much for the Invisible Talisman?” the other party asked.

Jiao Xiuyuan’s eyes brightened instantly, and he perked up.

“10 contribution points each. How many do you want? If you buy more than ten, I’ll give you a 20% discount. If you buy more than a hundred, I’ll give you a 50% discount!”

Li Fan chuckled, “Why would I need so many, five or six should be enough.”

After a pause, Li Fan continued, “And your price isn’t right. Before I came here, I bought one in the Tianxuan Mirror. An Invisible Talisman that can shield Golden Core Cultivators, costs only 20 points now. And these defective products of yours are still so expensive?”

Jiao Xiuyuan’s face twitched at his words. He stammered, “8 points each, it can’t get any lower. You should know that making talismans also has a cost!” “Alright, give me six.” Li Fan didn’t haggle any further.

Jiao Xiuyuan quickly handed out six Invisible Talismans, fearing Li Fan might change his mind.

“How do you want to pay?”

The Tianxuan Mirror does not support anonymous transactions, so if they use contribution points, their identities will be revealed.

But Li Fan had come prepared.

“Spiritual stones.” He took out five medium-grade spiritual stones from his storage ring and handed them over.

Official Spiritual Stones are the result of a collaboration between the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals and the Five Elders Organization. They come in different grades and are akin to the legal currency of the Immortal Cultivation World, with unique anti-counterfeiting restrictions.

The exchange ratio between superior, high-grade, medium-grade, and low-grade spiritual stones is 10:1.

In the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, a low-grade spiritual stone can be exchanged in the Tianxuan Mirror for one point of contribution.

At this moment, the five medium-grade spiritual stones Li Fan handed out were equivalent to 50 contribution points.

“You don’t need to give me change for the remaining points.”

Li Fan took the Invisible Talismans, then casually asked, “Do you also do information gathering on cultivators here?”

Jiao Xiuyuan looked wary at Li Fan’s question.

He studied Li Fan for a while before gritting his teeth, “Why not, I’ve made such a loss with my business, I need to take side jobs just to get by!” “What’s the name? What’s the cultivation level?” Jiao Xiuyuan asked quietly.

“Sikong Yi, mid-stage of Energy Refining..”
