Chapter 485: Chapter 457 Hear My Name, Thousands of Repairs

“This is the time, fellow Daoist, when your thousands of puppets come into play.”

Li Fan gave a mysterious smile and whispered for a moment.

Jiao Xiuyuan’s eyes brightened at his words, and he nodded repeatedly.

Meanwhile, within the fortresses that the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals defended, within the desolate ancient sect ruins in the wilderness.

Countless faces, all identical, began to tell stories to those around them.

The protagonist of the story was a monk from the Ancient Heavenly Machine Sect who had just awoken from a thousand-year slumber.

This person possesses the secret techniques of the Heavenly Machine Sect, held the treasured [Cosmic Dice of Fate] capable of communicating with Yin and Yang and understanding the creation.

He could even penetrate time and foresee the future.

If one could get his guidance, all kinds of opportunities would be easily obtained.

Regardless of reversing destiny or suddenly amassing wealth, it would be a trivial matter.

He Zhenghao of the Misthaven Sea was a living example.

If you don’t believe it, go and find out!

In short, in Jiao Xiuyuan’s description, Li Fan was portrayed as an incredibly skilled individual, comparable to the greatest powers of ancient times.

Such exaggerated words naturally couldn’t win the belief of most cultivators.

Shaking their heads, they saw it as another ploy of some Immortal Second Generation trying to create hype for their own reputation.

Still, a small fraction of the cultivators became interested in Li Fan.

They all turned to Jiao Xiuyuan to find out more.

At that time, Jiao Xiuyuan kept his lips sealed.

Their curiosity piqued, how could they easily let it go? With itching hearts, many cultivators began to inquire with friends from the Misthaven Sea.

They were shocked to discover that this could actually not be some made-up nonsense.

In the Misthaven Sea, there really was a group of cultivators who made a fortune thanks to Li Fan’s guidance.

Unable to get in touch with Li Fan, they decided to settle for the next best thing – finding He Zhenghao and the cultivators who participated in Li Fan’s first fundraising scheme.

He Zhenghao was a little dazed at this time, many inquiries continually popping up, leaving him at a loss.

He could only instinctively respond.

The rest of the cultivators who participated in the fundraising were doing the same.

So the news was confirmed.

Some were greatly disappointed because the first round of fundraising only had a measly two hundred thousand contribution points.

And it seemed obvious that it was an old scam of robbing Peter to pay Paul, a trick they could easily pull off if they were in his shoes.

However, after examining the list of cultivators who participated in the fundraising, some were secretly delighted, believing that they had found a rare opportunity.

Because they found a cultivator named Zhou Peng on the list.

Although Zhou Peng was a cultivator of a not-so-high-level, he had a deep relationship with Elder Gongsun of the Hall of Celestial Mysteries in the Misthaven Sea.

The name Gongsun Qixuan, even cultivators outside of the Misthaven Sea, were familiar with it.

If this Li Fan was really a fraud, would Zhou Peng be so foolish as to be deceived?

Looking at Zhou Peng, who nearly invested all his assets in each fundraising, it seems that this monk from the Ancient Sect of Heavenly Secrets might not be so simple after all!

After another round of screening, although the number of cultivators trying to contact Li Fan had decreased.

They were more passionate.

In the Thousand Miles Hall, listening to the feedback from Jiao Xiuyuan, Li Fan was as calm as ever.

Letting the public opinion ferment for more than ten days, when the public discussion about Li Fan gradually began to decline.

“Daoist Jiao, it seems we can start the next plan,” Li Fan said quietly.

“Exactly, fellow Daoist, just watch my methods.” Jiao Xiuyuan gave a hehe and his breath once again fell silent.

At this time, all over the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, whether it was cultivators watching for fun or those who were struggling to get in touch with Li Fan.

They all received new information from Jiao Xiuyuan.

Recently, there were just too many cultivators wanting to reach out to Master Li Fan, he really can’t bear it.

In the face of many accusations of being a “fraud”, Li Fan decided to prove his abilities.

So he entrusted Jiao Xiuyuan to pass on the message uniformly.

The time was set for three days later.

As soon as the news came out, it caused an uproar.

Those who believed in Li Fan were looking forward to it.

Those who considered Li Fan a fraud from the start, on the other hand, couldn’t help but sneer, waiting to see Li Fan make a fool of himself.

No matter if they believed him or not, the topic was definitely hot.

Adding those purely crowd-watching cultivators.

For a time, most of the lower level cultivators within the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals were looking forward to Li Fan’s performance in three days’ time.

As for those existences at the God Transformation level and above, they weren’t particularly interested in these trivialities.

Only a few of them who were extremely bored shifted their attention over.

In the midst of the cultivators’ discussion, finally came the agreed-upon time.

Outside the Thousand Miles Hall, which was usually deserted, was now filled with people.

They all eagerly watched Jiao Xiuyuan, waiting for Li Fan’s speech.

All the puppets of Jiao Xiuyuan acted in unison, all with the same expression.

His gaze swept over everyone, his face serious.

Clearing his throat, Jiao Xiuyuan said solemnly, “Daoist Li Fan said that in order to prove he is not a fraud, to defend the honor of the Heavenly Machine Sect.”

“He is willing to sacrifice his life span, activate secret techniques, and finally successfully foresee the future once again!”

Jiao Xiuyuan paused slightly, effectively attracting the attention of everyone present.

After a moment, he loudly announced, “He saw that in the near future, an item known as ‘Universal Leisure True Leaf’ will surge in price!”

“Even causing a shock throughout the entire Alliance of Thousands of Immortals!”

As soon as the words dropped, there was silence all around.

Before people could react, Jiao Xiuyuan vanished and retreated back into the Thousand Miles Hall.

Then with a bang, the door closed tightly.

No matter how much the outside world shouted, there was no more response.

“Universal Leisure True Leaf? What is that? The price soared? Is it real…” Most of the spectators were confused and skeptical.

Some with quicker minds had already rushed back into the TianXuan mirror, searching to check its price.

They were amazed to find that at the moment Jiao Xiuyuan made his announcement, the price of the Universal Leisure True Leaf had risen from 265 points to a straight upward line.

“Everyone stay rational! It must be because too many people bought it at once, that’s why its price went up.”

“This fraud called Li Fan, must have hoarded a large supply from early on, waiting for everyone to inflate the price before he sells!”

Some experts analyzed and rationally persuaded the cultivators around them.

But the price had indeed risen before their eyes.

If they said the price would drop later, as long as they hurriedly sold them before the price dropped, they could still make a small profit, right?

Many others couldn’t resist the temptation of the ever-increasing price of Universal Leisure True Leaf and ended up buying some.

Even if each person didn’t buy a lot, the total number of cultivators was fairly considerable.

As a result, the upward trend of Universal Leisure True Leaf’s price sped up a few ticks.

In a short time, it had risen from 265 points to 300 points.

While Li Fan and Jiao Xiuyuan were also feverishly shopping.

In a court somewhere in the Heavenly Pivot Province.

“Brother Dan Tai! Disaster! Quick, look at the price of Universal Leisure True Leaf! 310…”

“Not right, it’s 320 now!”

But when Dan Taixian came to his senses, the price had already risen to 340 points.

“No good!”

“Forget the price, quickly buy all the Universal Leisure True Leaf available in the market!”

He shouted furiously.
