“Four hundred thousand contribution points…”

“The accumulation of a Nascent Soul Array Master’s lifetime is indeed extravagant. ”

Li Fan stared at the golden promissory note, his eyes wide in astonishment.

Without delay, he eagerly picked up the Knowledge Spirit Orb and began the Array Technique test.

The first stage of examination was fairly easy, merely some basic knowledge about array technique.

Given that Li Fan had immersed himself in array techniques for over a decade, he naturally breezed through the first level of test without much effort.

A sprinkling of golden light floated out from the promissory note and gathered onto Li Fan.

The golden foil paper paled a little, and when Li Fan checked his contribution points in the Tianxuan Mirror, they indeed increased by forty thousand points.

They had risen to 63600 points.

Thrilled, he immediately started the second-level test.

After a while, Li Fan withdrew his divine sense from the Knowledge Spirit Orb, looking troubled.

“After decades of arduous cultivation, I am still a bit short of passing the second-level test?”

“When will I be able to completely claim these four hundred thousand contribution points?”

The Mountain of Treasure was right in front of him, seemingly within easy reach. But due to his limited proficiency in array techniques, he could see it but couldn’t touch it.

It was as if a little hand were tickling Li Fan’s heartstrings. Under this enormous temptation, he wished he could drop everything and delve into studying array techniques immediately.

“Zhang Zhiliang, what a shrewd strategy!”

“The incentive effect of large amounts of contribution points truly takes effect immediately. Even I can’t resist.”

“The second-level test doesn’t involve the [Infinite Techinique] yet, so I can rely on my clone to study array techniques. But for the later stages, I will need my original self to study the [Infinite Techinique] from the Encrypted Jade Scroll.”

“In this case, my cultivation will inevitably be delayed.”

“I hope that before this happens, the business of the Moon Palace can fully roll out. With the feedback from the Mountain Sitting Technique, even if I don’t cultivate personally, the advancement of my cultivation level won’t lag much.”

“More than sixty thousand contribution points should be enough for a short-term turnover. But it’s not enough! ”

“I need to extract all the contribution points from the promissory note as soon as possible! ”

A sharp light flashed in Li Fan’s eyes.

Under this great impetus, both Li Fan’s original self and his clone began to study array techniques together.

Whenever he felt tired, he ignited a stick of silver incense.

Regaining his vigour, he continued to study.

Under the double boost, Li Fan’s proficiency in array techniques steadily increased.

Like this, more than a month passed.

The drama of Chu Xingyang’s forced marriage finally arrived.

Li Fan had to divert a part of his attention to observe the life event of Moon Palace’s first customer.

The result, however, made Li Fan both laugh and cry.

At the wedding ceremony, Chu Xingyang descended from the sky and unabashedly asked the bride to go with him.

How could the groom tolerate this? He wore a ferocious expression, and vowed to kill Chu Xingyang on the spot.

However, Chu Xingyang’s talent was really good. In just three months, he not only advanced to the Foundation Establishment phase.

His overall combat power even surpassed the groom who had been in the Foundation Establishment phase for a long time.

After a prolonged fight, without Li Fan needing to intervene, the groom started showing signs of defeat.

While Chu Xingyang was battling with the groom, he confidently and impressively shouted aloud.

“Ah Yue, do you see? How can this Zhang be worthy of you in such a miserable state! Come with me! I will surely make you happy!”

Upon hearing these words, the groom almost vomited blood, his face turning beet red.

His eyes could have killed Chu Xingyang a thousand times over, and each subsequent move was a desperate attempt to inflict mutual damage.

Yet Chu Xingyang always managed to evade his attacks, even seeming to be toying with him.

He became increasingly arrogant, and was about to speak, when he was interrupted by a furious shout from the bride.

“Enough, Chu Xingyang, have you caused enough of a scene?”

Immediately, a cold beam of light attacked him.

Caught off guard, Chu Xingyang barely avoided the bride’s attack and asked bewilderedly, “Ah Yue, what are you doing?

The bride gritted her teeth and said, “Stop calling me Ah Yue! I’ve told you more than once, Zhang Qi and I fell in love willingly. We chose to become Dao companions of our own accord. There was no compulsion involved, and it has nothing to do with cultivation strength!”

“As my friend, you didn’t come to congratulate me on my wedding, but you come to create a scene!”

“From now on, I have no feelings for you!”

Having said this, the bride and the groom, Zhang Qi, joined forces to attack Chu Xingyang.

The bride’s speech was a brutal hit to Chu Xingyang. His face instantly turned pale.

He dodged the couple’s joint attack instinctively while continuously asking why.

However, the bride showed no mercy, her attacks were ruthless and deadly.

Eventually, a beam of light pierced through Chu Xingyang’s left shoulder.

Chu Xingyang looked hopeless, and his heart was full of despair.

But the instinct to survive made him grit his teeth, flee with his injury.

Escaping into a secluded cave, Chu Xingyang treated his wound.

After his injuries slowly healed, Chu Xingyang’s eyes somehow filled with fighting spirit once more.

“It must be because my current power is not enough.”

“If Foundation Establishment is not enough, then Gold Core. If Gold Core is not enough, then Nascent Soul.”

“As long as I am strong enough, one day, Ah Yue, you will have a change of heart.”

Chu Xingyang gazed into the distance and mumbled to himself.

The farce had finally come to an end.

Besides the embarrasment faced by the parties involved, the topic of Chu Xingyang’s rapid advancement to the Foundation Establishment phase also became a popular topic of discussion among the masses.

Gradually, the name of Moon Palace started to spread among the Energy Refining and Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Turns out, this Moon Palace, providing loans of Natural Treasures and Foundation Establishment Techniques, was not a scam, but for real!

With a living example right in front of their eyes, the number of cultivators seeking help from Moon Palace began to grow slowly.

Of course, with the limited contribution points at present, Li Fan ordered the Yin sisters to be highly selective.

One quota per month would suffice.

All others were turned away under the pretext of insufficient Fate.

Ironically, this cautious approach of Moon Palace further deepened the trust among cultivators.

If any cultivator could borrow treasures and techniques from the Moon Palace, they would be more worried about a potential grand conspiracy.

In this way, the fame of Moon Palace grew louder with each passing day.

Many Perfect Energy Refining Cultivators in Dao Origin State traveled long distances to be able to establish foundation several years earlier, seeking to borrow techniques.

Regarding the annual interest rate of thirty-six percent, they chose to ignore it.

The speed of earning contribution points as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator is far more than twice that of an Energy Refining Cultivator.

Even if they choose to repay in three years, the total repayment is barely close to twice the original amount.

It’s worth it!

Thus, in the 39th anchored year, the grand undertaking of the Moon Palace law lending finally began in an orderly manner.

When the time came to the 40th anchored year, Li Fan finally completed the second-level test of the Knowledge Spirit Orb.

His contribution points increased by another forty thousand points.

Each month, the repayments from those who had previously borrowed techniques would add to the account.

The turnover of contribution points slowly started to ease..
