Chapter 444
“Besides, it seems that he has many secret techniques concealing him, making it difficult for others to see through him, like looking at flowers in the mist,” the woman in the green dress said slowly.
Hearing this, Li Chenfeng and Zhu Shaotang exchanged glances, their hearts filled with shock.
They were well aware that the Empire's two Saint masters, [Qing] and [Hong], were powerful beings who had survived since ancient times.
The two Saint masters had personally witnessed the Empire's development from a mere gathering of mortals to the vast Empire it is today.
Their guidance had been indispensable in this process.
In the eyes of the Empire's people, the two Saint masters were the absolute embodiments of power and wisdom.
But now, the Saint master [Qing] actually said that she couldn’t see through the envoy who had just arrived?
Recalling their previous rash behavior in front of this person, Li Chenfeng couldn't help but feel a wave of fear.
“Perhaps it's because I haven’t returned here for so long. I’m somewhat unaccustomed to it,” Qing sighed with a hint of sadness, allowing Li Chenfeng to breathe a little easier.
Hundreds of miles away, Li Fan was secretly surprised as he sensed the intermittent, blurry images transmitted by the Formless Killing Intent.
"It seems this Saint master is not simple. She can vaguely sense and counteract my Formless Killing Intent."
"Fortunately, my skills are superior."
Li Fan was more than willing to exchange contribution points for the Empire's technology, such as the [Beast God Armor].
But if a true collaboration were to be established and the play continued, he feared he alone wouldn't be able to hold the stage, making it easy for others to see through him.
Moreover, managing five million contribution points was somewhat difficult.
"It seems it's time to advance my original plan."
With that in mind, Li Fan sensed the location of He Zhenghao.
While heading toward Liuli Island, he once again transformed into the appearance of an [Ancient Heavenly Mechanism Sect Disciple].
...
He Zhenghao had been feeling troubled lately.
He had locked the communication talisman, which was constantly receiving inquiries, inside a storage ring to gain some peace.
At present, he didn’t even dare step out of Liuli Island.
As the legend of his overnight wealth spread, more and more people wanted to gather information about Li Fan through him.
Some were skeptical and wanted to personally verify the Master's credentials.
Others merely wanted to latch onto him and replicate He Zhenghao's meteoric rise.
Some even approached him with bizarre propositions, attempting to engage in strange deals.
He was overwhelmed and exhausted by all the attention.
He had to pretend to be in seclusion, hiding within the mountains and stars formation on Liuli Island, unable to meet anyone.
He Zhenghao’s expression grew more miserable, but seeing that Li Fan hadn’t flown away immediately, he knew there was still hope.
So he quickly said, “The reason these friends are pestering me is merely because they want to gain the Senior’s guidance, just as I did, and profit from it.”
“Senior, you can use your divine ability to sense the secrets of the heavens and then...”
Li Fan’s face turned cold, “Nonsense! Why should I help them when they are neither kin nor acquaintances?”
“Moreover, using divine abilities comes with the risk of heavenly backlash. What’s in it for me?”
With a wave of his sleeve, Li Fan looked dissatisfied and was about to leave.
He Zhenghao hurriedly blocked his way and had a sudden inspiration, saying repeatedly, “Mountain Sitting Technique! Mountain Sitting Technique!”
“When I broke through to the late Foundation Establishment stage, did you sense the feedback in your cultivation?”
Li Fan was slightly stunned and, after a while, slowly said, “It does seem like there was something like that.”
He Zhenghao slapped his thigh, “Exactly! Senior, think about it: in the current Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance, all techniques are exchanged for contribution points.”
“And when you help us earn contribution points, we use them to purchase techniques and cultivate.”
“Doesn’t this mean you’re indirectly bestowing us with techniques?”
“You must know, in the current cultivation world, nothing is more significant than bestowing techniques!”
“As you practice the Mountain Sitting Technique, such a blessing will surely yield strong cultivation feedback.”
“Furthermore, there are many who have come to seek your aid.”
“If you help them all...”
“Accumulating bit by bit, how much cultivation power would that add up to?”
“With this, Master, you should soon recover your strength from before your slumber, right?”
He Zhenghao seemed to have an epiphany and became more excited as he spoke.
Li Fan slowly nodded, “There’s some logic to that!”
“But...with so many people, my ability to use divine power is limited. How can I help them all?”
After thinking it over, Li Fan still rejected the idea.
At that moment, He Zhenghao had a sudden flash of insight.
He blurted out, “We can pool together the contribution points of those who want your help and manage them collectively.”
“Then, when Master uses your divine power to find suitable investment methods and earn contribution points, you can return them.”
Li Fan was very pleased, thinking to himself, “Very good, He Zhenghao, you’ve learned to respond quickly.”
