Chapter 436: Many Cultivators Seek Wealth and Honor

However, Li Fan's face was full of suspicion. "Will others transfer their Contribution Points so easily? I don't think so."

"Even better if they're unwilling! I can use that as an excuse to get rid of some of them, saving myself from their constant pestering!" He Zhenghao thought to himself, then said aloud, "Senior, please rest assured. Too many cultivators have been hounding me recently. Even if only a small fraction of them are willing to transfer their Contribution Points for you to manage, it will still be a significant amount."

"Moreover, once you, Senior, display your great powers and return the Contribution Points with interest, actions will speak louder than words. More and more people will surely be willing to rely on you in the future." He Zhenghao was full of confidence.

Li Fan pondered for a moment, appearing deep in thought. Shortly after, he slowly nodded. "Coincidentally, I've also seen many novel cultivation techniques in the Heavenly Profound Mirror recently, and I'm itching to try them. Furthermore, in this era of cultivation, Contribution Points are indeed essential in every aspect."

"If you can indeed raise a considerable amount of Contribution Points, it wouldn't be impossible for me to step in and multiply them several times over." He Zhenghao's eyes lit up upon hearing Li Fan's seemingly effortless words.

After some thought, he quickly urged, "It doesn't need to be that much, not that much! You must understand, if the principal can increase by half in a year, people would flock to entrust their Contribution Points to you, Senior! As for the rest, you can certainly keep it yourself as your reward."

"Of course, if you could share a little with me as a hard-earned fee, that would be even better!" He Zhenghao said delightedly.

"Are you satisfied with fifty percent a year?" Li Fan was initially surprised, then nodded. "That works too." "Then let's tentatively settle on this. Go and contact your friends." "Remember, only choose those whose backgrounds are well-known. Contribution Points from cultivators of unknown origin will not be accepted."

After giving a few more instructions, He Zhenghao eagerly took out his sealed communication talismans again and began replying to them one by one. "Fellow Daoist Zhang, there's an opportunity to get rich right in front of you now. Are you willing to give it a try?"

"The first batch of Contribution Points collected probably won't be much, but that's fine." "They won't believe it the first time, but they'll hesitate the second time." "By the third and fourth times, seeing others making huge profits while they missed out on a good opportunity..." "The fifth time, they'll come crying and begging to hand over their Contribution Points." Li Fan thought this to himself as he watched the busy He Zhenghao.

Don't misunderstand. Although Li Fan's actions in this life seemed very much like some kind of scam, in reality... he, Li Fan, truly possessed the ability to lead everyone to great wealth.

Not to mention major events like speculating on Spirit Mist Grass, which yielded a hundredfold profit with ease. Simply by utilizing the various information he had gathered through countless reincarnations, predicting events and engaging in arbitrage, achieving fifty percent profit annually was practically effortless.

If even certain exceptionally gifted individuals could achieve this, and Li Fan, an anomaly who constantly reincarnated, couldn't, then Li Fan might as well stop pursuing immortality and simply return to Da Xuan to be an ordinary Grand Tutor for all eternity.

To put it plainly, for Li Fan, who possessed an abundance of foresight and information, asset appreciation was not at all difficult. Of course, there were certain limitations. For instance, the overall scale of assets he controlled couldn't be too large, nor could it provoke direct sanctions from powers like the Heavenly Profound Mirror.

In fact, Li Fan had no intention of making too big a stir. His only goal was to gather a relatively usable force while cultivating and improving his own power.

And when the expansion became too great, exceeding Li Fan's control... a conflagration would engulf the seas, and a dark slaughter would devastate the world. That would be the end of it. With all the creditors dead, there would naturally be no debts to speak of. He could then openly claim those Contribution Points as his own.

For now, this was the preliminary plan. As for the specifics, he would have to wait and see.

After making contact, He Zhenghao went to Myriad Immortals Island to meet with his fellow Daoists. He didn't return until half a day later, beaming with success, bringing back over two hundred thousand Contribution Points.

As Li Fan expected, when He Zhenghao explained the requirements, most cultivators backed out. After all, nobody's Contribution Points came easily. While guidance from this ancient Heavenly Dao Sect cultivator was acceptable, actually parting with Contribution Points... very few were willing to do so.

Of the over two hundred thousand Contribution Points collected this time, a cultivator named Zhou Peng contributed fifty thousand alone, accounting for the largest share. Excluding him, the average contribution from the others did not exceed five thousand Contribution Points.

Even so, He Zhenghao was extremely excited at this moment. With a solemn expression, he transferred the two hundred thirty thousand Contribution Points to Li Fan via the Heavenly Profound Lesser Mirror. He also didn't forget to transfer another one hundred thousand Contribution Points from his personal stash.

"Senior..." He Zhenghao opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately stopped. He merely looked at Li Fan with fervent eyes.

"Fifty thousand Contribution Points in a year is an easy task! Rest assured!" He tossed a communication talisman to He Zhenghao. "If there's anything urgent, I'll contact you. At other times, do not disturb me!"

He Zhenghao nodded repeatedly, excitedly taking the communication talisman. Li Fan waved his hand and returned to Myriad Immortals Island.

"There shouldn't be any problems, right...?" He Zhenghao mumbled to himself. With the initial surge of excitement fading, his mind gradually calmed, and He Zhenghao couldn't help but feel a growing apprehension. However, since the die was cast, he could only pray that this Senior from the Heavenly Dao Sect wouldn't cause any trouble.

In the Heavenly Profound Mirror, Li Fan released several posthumous works of Lan Xiao. While purchasing the materials needed by the Empire, he waited patiently.

As expected, three days later, Shenyuzi contacted Li Fan to express gratitude. "I have a few more rare manuscripts here, but I need Senior to do me a small favor," Li Fan said with a smile.

"Oh?" Shenyuzi was slightly taken aback but listened with interest as Li Fan explained his request. "Interesting." It seemed this fellow enthusiast was involved in something illicit. However, Shenyuzi didn't care about that. In this world, who didn't have a few secrets?

Shenyuzi lightly waved a whisk, concealing his aura, and quietly arrived at Myriad Immortals Island. After meeting with Li Fan, the two flew directly towards the island where the Empire's people were located.

Inside a secret chamber, Imperial Saint Master Qing, who was meticulously drawing something, suddenly stood up and looked in the direction Li Fan was coming from, her expression solemn. When Li Fan and Shenyuzi descended onto the island, her face changed slightly. "The Myriad Worlds Alliance truly has some weight to it."
