Chapter 48: Extinct Liuli Fish
🕑 Added 2023-10-01 01:31:42 +0000 UTCUnfortunately, Li Fan could only think about it for now.
The Tianxuan Mirror was the treasure of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, its foundation. It was not something a small Qi Condensation cultivator like Li Fan could covet.
Better to accept missions and earn contribution points more realistically.
Suppressing the greed in his heart, Li Fan clicked on the contribution points mission list.
He filtered out the missions for the early Qi Condensation stage that had little danger.
At a glance, these were all odd jobs and errands, with most of the rewards being just one or two contribution points.
Moreover, they often disappeared after a moment, obviously being taken by others.
After removing the condition of low danger, many new missions appeared.
These tasks often required visiting various islands in the Cong Yun Sea to accomplish something. But because the tasks dealt with mortals, there was no need for combat, and the danger was not too high.
The rewards for these tasks were around five to ten points.
And using the teleportation array of the Ten Thousand Immortals Island also required contribution points, one point per use.
After deducting the two points needed for a round trip, not much of the reward from a mission was left.
Earning enough contribution points to stay in the Tianxuan Mirror and occasionally cultivate was not an easy task.
Although it became easier to earn contribution points as one's strength increased, the contribution points required to activate the auxiliary cultivation mode also increased as the cultivation level rose.
In this way, one had to work hard to earn contribution points.
Furthermore, exchanging for cultivation methods also required a large number of contribution points...
Li Fan suddenly understood why the Tianxuan Mirror had opened up this auxiliary cultivation feature.
For cultivators who had experienced this kind of super cultivation mode, it was hard to refuse in the future.
Moreover, under the premise of spending the same amount of time, opening the auxiliary cultivation mode after accumulating contribution points would be faster in overall cultivation progress than practicing alone.
Cultivation methods, resources, auxiliary cultivation...
The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance indeed had a tight grip on cultivators.
Thinking about this, Li Fan looked for tasks that suited him while considering how to earn contribution points.
Earning contribution points was secondary; Li Fan's main purpose was to find an opportunity to go out and take out the Tai Yan Boat hidden in the [Truth].
There were still many gold and silver treasures in the Tai Yan Boat, as well as a Heavenly Treasure: the Stone Tablet of Prohibition.
It was estimated that he could exchange for a lot of contribution points.
As for why he didn't directly release it on the Ten Thousand Immortals Island...
He was not stupid. Doing so would be directly telling others that he had a valuable item on him.
Li Fan believed that every inch of land on the Ten Thousand Immortals Island was within the surveillance range of the Tianxuan Mirror.
If he attracted the attention of the other party, it would be troublesome.
Although the [Truth] could turn reality into an illusion, he still had to think to activate it.
What if a powerful being directly locked his divine sense, making him unable to think?
Then he would be at the mercy of others.
He wouldn't take such a risk, no matter what.
In any case, caution was Li Fan's first principle of action.
...
Just at this moment, Li Fan suddenly saw a few familiar words in a pile of tasks.
"Liuli Island."
He was delighted and immediately accepted the task.
Then he carefully examined the contents of the task.
It turned out that within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, the special product, Liuli Beads from Liuli Island, had been exhausted.
And according to the regulations, the next submission would have to wait until six months later.
In urgent need of alchemy materials, the alchemy room issued a commission, recruiting people to go to Liuli Island and fetch at least twenty Liuli Beads.
The reward is determined by the quality and quantity of Liuli Beads.
Li Fan had heard about these Liuli Beads since he arrived on Liuli Island. They were occasionally born within the bodies of Liuli Fish.
However, he didn't know what kind of pill they were used to refine.
But this task was perfect for him.
After spending 5 contribution points to buy the smallest storage ring for cover, Li Fan didn't delay. He left the Tianxuan Mirror and headed straight for the transmission square.
Returning the same way, Li Fan arrived at the statue he had visited before.
By now, Li Fan knew that each of the ten thousand statues on the Transmission Square corresponded to an island in the Cong Yun Sea.
The teleportation array was connected to the guardian arrays of each island.
The stone statue in front of him, symbolizing Liuli Island, was a leaping Liuli Fish.
After deducting one contribution point, Li Fan activated the teleportation array.
This time, the dizziness was indeed much weaker, and soon Li Fan recovered.
"I wonder who this friend is..." The voice of He Zhenghao faintly came.
"Huh? Why is it you?" He Zhenghao looked a bit puzzled when he saw the person clearly.
Li Fan immediately recounted the task he had taken and the matter of coming to get Liuli Beads.
"Liuli Beads, I'll have someone take you to get them," He Zhenghao said, nodding without much concern. "You're adapting quite quickly, going out to do tasks in such a hurry."
"Ah, life forces me to," Li Fan said, pretending to be a bit helpless.
He Zhenghao immediately had a knowing look.
Following the servant to Liuli Mansion, Li Fan met the finance manager in charge.
The finance manager respectfully fell to the ground, and it wasn't known if he recognized Li Fan.
After all, Li Fan had previously been in charge of a fleet on Liuli Island, and he had crossed paths with the finance manager.
However, even if he recognized Li Fan, the finance manager probably would pretend not to.
In any case, in their eyes, a cultivator was a high and mighty existence.
After receiving the order, the finance manager quickly took out all the Liuli Beads stored on the island.
"Reporting to the Immortal Master, there are currently only twenty-three Liuli Beads left on the island. This is all we have been able to collect recently on Liuli Island. If the Immortal Master still needs them, it may take about a year or so." The finance manager said somewhat anxiously.
"Oh? What happened?" Li Fan asked.
"I dare not deceive the Immortal Master. According to the feedback from the island's fishing fleet, it seems that due to overfishing, the encountered groups of Liuli Fish have become fewer and fewer. It may take some time for them to recover naturally before they can be caught again." The finance manager said.
Li Fan nodded upon hearing this.
However, in his mind, Zhang Haobo's words suddenly emerged.
"I understand this matter." Li Fan put the Liuli Beads into the storage ring and didn't return immediately. Instead, he first went to his home.
Entering the house, Li Fan waited for a while, released his divine sense to ensure that He Zhenghao was not secretly watching, and then released the Tai Yan Boat.
Then he quickly transferred the gold and silver as well as the Stone Tablet of Prohibition inside the Tai Yan Boat.
After doing all this, Li Fan returned to the guardian array.
Just as he was about to return directly to the Ten Thousand Immortals Island, Li Fan heard a voice behind him.
"Young friend, please wait!"
Li Fan's hair stood on end, and he turned around, looking at He Zhenghao with a vigilant gaze.
