“Even if we suffer a loss on our first doorstep business, we must still do it.” Li Fan couldn’t help but sigh as he sensed Chu Xingyang, who was in the process of building his foundation.
In fact, he wasn’t certain whether implementing large-scale paid law crossing in the Immortal Cultivation World was workable.
However, he could afford to take bold risks due to his ample room for error.
Therefore, Li Fan was not nervous at all.
To better develop the business of the Moon Palace, Li Fan personally designed two gadgets and had a batch made as backups.
The first one was called “Bright Jade Charm”. After the activation of the spirit symbol, the position of the person borrowing the law could be sensed, even their every action could be clearly observed, which would greatly reduce the difficulty of debt collection work.
In fact, there was nothing mysterious about the “Bright Jade Charm”. It was just a sensing-sharing spirit symbol. The really useful part was Li Fan’s divine technique “Invisible Malice”.
He gained this technique by observing the Heaven and Earth Killing Intent and pondering it in seclusion for decades. The technique did not disappear even after he dismissed his skills from “The Golden Seal of the Jade Realm of a Thousand Mechanisms”.
After all, Techniques were only tools for him to observe the Heaven and Earth Qi Mechanism. “Invisible Malice” was more of an imitation application after he understood the Heaven and Earth Killing Intent. It had become an instinctive existence for Li Fan, just like a Binding Worm; he could execute it even without a bit of cultivation.
This should be why “Real” listed it separately.
The second item was known as the “Intimidation Charm”. Considering that later on, there might be cultivators who will intentionally default on their debts and hide in places such as Yuandao City where actions can’t be taken against them.
Li Fan intentionally made this batch of “Discouragement Tokens”. Its essence is quite simple, it’s just an ordinary communication talisman that burns immediately after being read. The real intimidation comes from a sentence preset inside the talisman.
“If you insist on not returning the loan and deliberately evade the debt, the
Moon Palace will report to the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance Hall of
Enforcement for the loss of your cultivation technique!”
Because the technique was exchanged by Li Fan, he can report to the Immortal Alliance that the previously-exchanged technique has been lost. As for the recovery of the technique, it would naturally be handled by the mysterious and chilling Law Enforcement Hall.
This is a damage-inflicting move. After the technique is lost and recovered, the ownership naturally returns to the Immortal Alliance’s possession. The debtor will lose his life, and the Moon Palace will lose a certain contribution degree.
Any reasonable cultivator will understand which choice to make.
The reason for particularly making these two kinds of talisman was to create a sense of mystery.
A talisman flies out, and the original cultivator who hid in the safety zone, feeling smug and refusing to pay his debts, suddenly changes his expression. After gritting his teeth for a while, he can only work obediently to repay the debt.
This highly topical scene will certainly attract many cultivators to spontaneously inquire about the Moon Palace.
While serving a publicity purpose, it will also establish the mysterious image of the Moon Palace in the hearts of cultivators.
In Li Fan’s view, there are two key factors hindering the rapid development of Moon Palace’s law-transformation business.
One is that Li Fan himself currently has too little contribution points. After the operation of Chu Xingyang, he had only a pitiful 23,600 points of contribution left. At most, he could only facilitate the law-crossing for two more Perfect Energy Refining Cultivators. And recollecting contribution points often took two to three years.
Without enough contribution points for turnover, the idea of large-scale expansion of Moon Palace’s business was simply a joke. However, doing things in small ways contradicted Li Fan’s original intention.
“I hope Zhang Zhiliang’s Small Black Box can bring some surprises.” As Li Fan sensed that the seal of array techniques could be unlocked in more than two months, he couldn’t help thinking.
The second limiting factor was the lack of strength under Li Fan’s command. Once the business became bigger, a shortage of manpower would inevitably occur, affecting the efficiency of contribution point recovery.
However, currently, there was no good solution.
In Li Fan’s vision, if they could cooperate with a major force in Dao Origin State and give part of the profits to them, both problems would be solved. Unfortunately, with Li Fan’s current Early Foundation Establishment Stage strength, he was too weak. He certainly wouldn’t do anything like asking a tiger for its skin.
In the following period, apart from Chu Xingyang, only one Perfect Energy Refining Cultivator came for help.
But after careful evaluation from the Yin sisters, they had to refuse this person.
Claiming that he lacked sufficient connection with Moon Palace, Su Xiaomei sent him away.
“It seems we need to wait until Chu Xingyang’s wedding, to seize the bride and achieve fame in a single battle,” Li Fan quietly thought.
To ensure the first client of Moon Palace could succeed and cause a greater sensation, Li Fan decided to secretly assist Chu Xingyang if necessary.
Before the moon palace’s grand plan was launched, Li Fan was standing in the underground treasure house, silently feeling the resonance of tens of thousands of Dao rhyme antiques.
The “Insight through Subtleties” array had been completed.
After being amplified by the array, the intensity of the Dao Rhyme of the Overwhelming Palm was evident.
One day, two days…
After standing dry for seven days, Li Fan’s face flashed with embarrassment.
“Well… With my aptitude, it’s a bit forced to comprehend the divine technique from this strand of Dao rhyme.”
“However, fortunately, I am not alone.”
Without further hesitation, Li Fan called in Xiao Heng and Su Xiaomei.
“The Dao Rhyme antiques that you’ve worked hard to gather for years, after being boosted by my array, have finally formed a powerful resonance,” he explained.
“This strand of Dao Rhyme contains magnificent opportunities.”
“As for how much you can comprehend, it all depends on your own destiny.”
As soon as Xiao Heng and Su Xiaomei entered the underground treasure house, they were deeply attracted by the mysterious sensation floating within it.
After hearing Li Fan’s speech, they were even more ecstatic.
After expressing their gratitude, the two closed their eyes, each immersing themselves in the comprehension of Dao Rhyme.
Time passed bit by bit.
This time, the one who gained the most was Xiao Heng.
He suddenly opened his eyes, with a fleeting sense of vicissitudes in them.
Li Fan didn’t manage to comprehend anything.
However, seeing Xiao Heng’s expression, he knew that he must have gained something.
But he didn’t ask directly, instead signaling him to wait patiently for Su Xiaomei to finish her comprehension.
Another day later, Su Xiaomei also woke up from her insight.
Li Fan brought both of them to the square of Moon Palace.
He activated the Trigram Spirit illusion Wave Array for protection, enabling them to spar freely without concern about damaging the surroundings.
Li Fan then instructed, “Practice against each other and verify your respective comprehensions.”
Both nodded, looked at each other, and spoke at the same time.
“Little sister, please guide me!” “Xiao Heng! You better be careful!”
