My Simulated Road to Immortality Chapter 487 – The True Wonderful Use of Universal Virtue

Chapter 487: Chapter 459: The True Wonderful Use of Universal Virtue

The events that followed could have been predicted.

In the stampede caused by cultivators fleeing for their lives, the price of Universal Leisure True Leaf plummeted.

Just after crossing the 1,000-point threshold, it suddenly dropped like a waterfall.

This spectacular scene left Jiao Xiuyuan in constant astonishment.

“Friend, your Art of Deduction is truly magical!” he marveled.

“If it weren’t for your warning, I might’ve ended up in the same predicament as them.”

“I can already envisage a scene full of cultivators with shattered cultivation hearts!”

Jiao Xiuyuan gloated over their misfortune.

In Heavenly Pivot Province,

Those like Dan Taixian, who had just completed their trade and were secretly congratulating themselves on their good fortune, had their expressions drastically change upon hearing the announcement from the TianXuan Mirror.

Then, they witnessed the Universal Leisure True Leaf, which they had just bought back at a sky-high price of 1,300 points, suddenly crash in price.

Many couldn’t bear the shock, vomiting blood and passing out.

“Friend Dan Tai!”

The cultivators who were still conscious were all looking at Dan Taixian in grief and anger, hoping that this leader of Dan Tai’s Family could think of some strategies.

At this moment, Dan Taixian’s face had also turned iron blue.

This incident seemed to have been controlled by an invisible hand from the very beginning, and its development caught him off guard.

He even subconsciously thought that perhaps this whole thing was a plot against Dan Tai’s Family from the start.

That Jiao Xiuyuan and the Heavenly Machine Sect cultivator Li Fan might be smoke screens of the other party.

As possibilities flashed through his mind, Dan Taixian was also actively thinking of plans to minimize losses.

The losses in this transaction were just too great.

Even if his position in the family had become more secure over the years, he feared that he could not escape punishment.

Those brothers might even use this as an excuse to attack him.

“No, at least some losses must be recouped.”

Dan Taixian gritted his teeth, and an idea appeared in his mind.

“Spread the news about our recent discoveries!”

He said solemnly.

“What?”

“No! Brother Dan Tai, stay calm!”

“We haven’t reported this matter to the Immortal Alliance…”

The others were taken aback by his words, and tried to dissuade him in a panic.

Unfortunately, Dan Taixian was determined. Since he took the most credit for this secret discovery, they had no option but to cooperate.

They used their own means to spread the news into the market.

So, Li Fan and Jiao Xiuyuan, who were inventorying their gains on Ten Thousand Immortals Island, suddenly saw the falling trend of Universal Leisure True Leaf’s price slowly decelerate.

Although the price was still slowly decreasing, the state of collapse had gradually subsided.

“Hm? What’s going on? The price of Universal Leisure True Leaf is more resilient than expected.” Li Fan glanced at Jiao Xiuyuan.

Jiao Xiuyuan paused for a moment, then his expression became indescribable: “News has come from somewhere, saying that using a large amount of Universal Leisure True Leaf to create a magic tool can reduce the amount of lifespan devoured by the Element Devouring White Fog…”

“And also, it can guide the direction in the boundless Mystical Realm of the White Mist.”

Jiao Xiuyuan squinted slightly, it was obviously his first time hearing about this.

Li Fan was immediately taken aback: “Is this true?”

“Judging from the market’s reaction, it should not be a false rumor.” Jiao Xiuyuan said in a deep voice.

“It seems that, to minimize the loss, Dan Taixian released this secret news. It was unexpected that Universal Leisure True Leaf has such a use. Being able to resist the Element Devouring White Fog, this can potentially change the structure of the Xuanhuang World.” He whispered to himself, and it seems he was also quietly buying back Universal Leisure True Leaf.

“So that’s why its price has been steadily rising in my previous life.” Li Fan came to a realization.

Li Fan, who had spent several years in the Roaring Abyss, was all too familiar with the horror of the Element Devouring White Fog.

If he had been aware of the usefulness of Universal Leisure True Leaf in his past, it wouldn’t have been so difficult to construct the Tianxuan Spirit Locking Array in the mist.

“With this tool, exploration could potentially go deeper into the Mystical Realm…”

“And in my previous life, until the Tianxuan Spirit Locking Array was fully constructed, Dan Taixian had not revealed any news on this matter…”

This news was quite shocking.

For a moment, both Li Fan and Jiao Xiuyuan fell into deep thought, while the Thousand Miles Hall was silent.

“It’s quite interesting for Dan Tai’s Family to discover such important news and yet not report it promptly.” After a while, it was Jiao Xiuyuan who broke the silence.

“What kind of background does this Dan Tai’s family have?” Li Fan continued the topic, asking.

“Family Head Dan Tai Li Suo is a Unity Immortal Monarch, one of the three managing heads of the Administrative Hall Headquarters of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.”

“Due to his low-profile, Dan Tai’s Family has always been unknown to outsiders.”

“Only those who reach a certain level would know the terrifying nature of Dan Tai’s Family.”

Jiao Xiuyuan explained to Li Fan.

“However, the Administrative Hall is not solely controlled by Dan Tai’s Family. After such a big problem this time, I believe he would have to explain.”

Jiao Xiuyuan’s tone suddenly became strange: “Judging from Dan Taixian, he doesn’t seem to be a blockhead. Why did he make such a blunder this time?”

“Reasonably speaking, the gravity of this matter could help Dan Tai’s Family gain a more stable footing.”

“I wasn’t expecting him to just give it away for a little profit.”

Li Fan pondered for a moment, then analyzed: “Perhaps, he is not as foolish as he seems.”

“After all, Dan Tai’s Family is Dan Tai’s Family, and Dan Taixian is Dan Taixian.”

The seemingly roundabout words, when heard by Jiao Xiuyuan, appeared to be quite thought-provoking.

After that, the two of them chatted casually for a while and agreed to cooperate again when the opportunity arises.

Li Fan discreetly returned to the TianXuan Mirror through the secret passage in the Thousand Miles Hall, avoiding the crowd of cultivators outside who were demanding an explanation.

Settling his thoughts, Li Fan began to tally his earnings.

Universal Leisure True Leaf was bought at around 300 or 400 points. Most of it was sold back to Dan Taixian at about 1,300 points.

A small part was traded in between.

All in all, the profit was roughly four times the original investment.

Subtracting from the unexpected loss incurred from purchasing the Spirit Mist Grass,

Li Fan’s fortune had grown from over five million contribution points to a staggering eighteen million six hundred thousand contribution points.

However, the current Li Fan was no longer the clueless novice when he first entered the Immortal Cultivation World.

Faced with a huge amount of contribution points, he remained calm and unfazed.

Instead, he readily opened the shopping list in the Tianxuan Mirror. In addition to purchasing items necessary for trading with the Empire in large quantities, he also continuously selected items that might be useful for his future cultivation.

Unfortunately, his current authority level was not high enough, leaving Li Fan lamenting that he was sitting on a mountain of treasure without being able to spend it.

The happy days of lavish spending did not last long.

Soon, as Li Fan had anticipated, a voice rang out in Tianxuan Mirror.

He was immediately asked to go to the Martial Arts Battle Hall for an investigation.

In regards to his potential malicious manipulation of the market and disrupting the stability of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.
