“A business opportunity? What do you mean by that?” Li Fan looked at Jiao Xiuyuan with interest and asked.

Jiao Xiuyuan looked self-satisfied: “Just like some people can exploit advantages and avoid disadvantages. Since my childhood, I, Jiao Xiuyuan, have

been able to easily find the route to enormous profits among countless complex and useless information! This is both instinct and talent that others cannot envy!”

He glanced at Li Fan again and said, “The moment you left me just now, I felt an unspeakable sense of loss.”

“As if I was watching a pile of contribution points going away from me, like my heart is bleeding!”

“Therefore, I’m sure that what you said is true!” Jiao Xiuyuan concluded determinatively.

Li Fan was a bit surprised. He didn’t expect Jiao Xiuyuan to have such a talent.

However, recalling the scenes of previous interactions with Jiao Xiuyuan, Li Fan slowly nodded.

“In that case, what price are you prepared to offer?”

Jiao Xiuyuan pondered for a moment and then made a sign of ‘three’ with his fingers.

“What does this mean? Three thousand contribution points?” Li Fan looked at it for a while and couldn’t figure out the intended meaning and asked with doubt.

Jiao Xiuyuan said solemnly: “Thirty percent. Thirty percent of the profits brought about by this piece of information you provide.”

Li Fan squinted his eyes, somewhat in disbelief: “So generous?”

Jiao Xiuyuan just smiled: “You are not a businessman after all, you don’t understand the value of a piece of timely and unique information.”

“In certain circumstances, one piece of information can generate hundreds or even thousands times more profits.”

“If I just pay a price of thirty percent, and can get hundreds or thousands times more profits, why wouldn’t I do it?” Jiao Xiuyuan was full of shrewdness in his eyes.

Li Fan couldn’t help but applaud: “What you said makes sense. However, promises mean nothing. How can I ensure that you won’t back out on your word?”

Jiao Xiuyuan laughed: “It seems that you really don’t understand the rules of business. There are certain rules to follow in doing business.”

He took out a piece of glowing gold foil paper from somewhere, and quickly wrote down the agreed items on it with his fingers, as if they were a pen. After showing it to Li Fan for confirmation, he unhesitatingly wrote down his own name.

“Friend, please!” He handed the foil paper to Li Fan.

Li Fan carefully read it again and finally wrote down the name of the avatar: Lin Fan.

The golden foil paper immediately divided into three copies, two of which flew to Jiao Xiuyuan and Li Fan, and the other flew into the sky, and no one knew where it ended up.

A moment later, Li Fan felt a strange force descending explicitly on his avatar.

This force limits and binds the avatar, making him obligated to fulfill the commitments on the gold foil paper.

It felt as if it had become one’s own will, with no regret.

Rather, it will actively fulfill the agreement.

“The power to change cognitive perception…” Detecting the mysterious change in his heart, the avatar was abruptly astonished.

Then he sensed it and found that the original body residing inside the Tianxuan Mirror was not affected.

“The Day Stealing and Sun Replacement Decision is indeed ingenious.” Li Fan secretly complimented as he let out a sigh of relief.

The avatar immediately began to recount the news that the Spirit Mist Grass Island might have been attacked by the Exotic Dragon Whale, and all the Spirit Mist Grass on the Island had been destroyed.

“The Spirit Mist Grass Island was destroyed?” Upon hearing this, Jiao Xiuyuan’s eyes became extremely greedy.

“Hold on, friend. Let me probe into it!”

After saying that, he closed his eyes.

After a good while, he suddenly opened his eyes: “The news is accurate!”

He paced back and forth excitedly: “Misthaven Ocean’s Spirit Mist Island is one of the largest cultivation sites for Spirit Mist Grass. At least one fifth of the

Spirit Mist Grass come from there for the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.”

“Now that all the Spirit Mist Grass on the island has been destroyed, the price of Spirit Mist Grass will definitely skyrocket in a short time.”

“And thereby, the price of secondary products such as the Invisible Talisman will also surge.”

Suddenly, he paused his steps, furrowing his brows: “However, after all, it’s only something that is used from the stage of Foundation Establishment to Golden Core Stage. Besides, it’s also cultivated in other places. Even if the price rises, it probably won’t increase more than fifty percent.”

“This is too far from the business opportunity that I vaguely sensed.”

“Where did the problem arise?”

After thinking for a long time, he couldn’t find the answer.

Jiao Xiuyuan suddenly became a little impatient.

And an uncomfortable aura began to emerge from him.

Listening to Jiao Xiuyuan’s murmurs, Li Fan was lost in thought too.

The various anecdotes he heard before he was transported to this world; He Zhenghao and a few others were rubbing their hands together, preparing to make a fortune from this opportunity; Once the price of Spirit Mist Grass rose, it immediately triggered a trend…

All the signs traced out a clear path, and Li Fan instantly understood.

He patted on Jiao Xiuyuan’s shoulder and said solemnly: “This business opportunity lies not in the Spirit Mist Grass but in people! ”

Jiao Xiuyuan was slightly stunned, his eyes filled with confusion.

But quickly, he came to realization and exclaimed happily, “Friend, your words wake me up! That’s right, the profits of dozens of times lies in people, not in grass!”

At the same time he made Jiao Xiuyuan realize it, Li Fan’s main body in the Tianxuan Mirror began to buy Spirit Mist Grass.

Unfortunately, after some expenditures, there were only over two thousand contribution points left on his main body, which was better than nothing.

Jiao Xiuyuan’s demeanor changed at this moment. He no longer looked sly, but rather a sense of incomparable dominance: “If I want to make a profit, I have to take action.’

“No risk, no reward.”

Without any noticeable action from him, in the blink of an eye, Li Fan saw the price of Spirit Mist Grass skyrocketing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

19, 20, 21…

In an instant, the price of Spirit Mist Grass rose to 22 points.

“Thousand Miles Hall spread all over the Immortal Cultivation World…” Ll Fan’s eyelids twitched. This Jiao Xiuyuan didn’t bluff.

But at this moment, Jiao Xiuyuan had just started his operation.

“Now that I’m taking the wheel, I’ll invite everyone to join me.” He let out a low chuckle.

Then, he seemed to fall into a deep sleep, motionless.

For a while, the hall of Thousand Miles became silent.

However, Li Fan knew what he was doing.

Jiao Xiuyuan was certainly using his countless puppets spread across the Immortal Cultivation World to spread the news that Spirit Mist Grass Island had been destroyed.

Things need time to ferment, so they just patiently waited.

At this moment, He Zhenghao’s excited message arrived, a bit late.

“Friend Li Fan! Remember I told you that I would make you a fortune?!” “Now the opportunity has come!”

“I got confirmed news that the island cultivating Spirit Mist Grass was attacked by an exotic beast, and all the Spirit Mist Grass on the island has been destroyed.”

“The price of Spirit Mist Grass will surely rise!” “Look, it has risen from 18 points to 22 points in a short time!”

“But it doesn’t matter, it will definitely rise more!”

“Seize the day, friend. Act fast!”

Li Fan’s mouth curled up in a cryptic smile and quickly replied: “Thank you, Daoist He. I have put it all in.”

When the bubble comes, everyone knows that it will burst at a prick.

But faced with huge profits, everyone lost their sanity and charged in recklessly.

When Jiao Xiuyuan’s countless puppets began to work, a message began to spread throughout the Immortal Cultivation World.

It spread wider and wider, gradually becoming well-known to all.

The price of Spirit Mist Grass is going to rise.

Hence, the bubble began its first expansion..
