Chapter 151 First Investment
Li Fan did not mean to complain.
Rather, this "Mountain Sitting Art" was not originally created by a cultivator.
It is impossible to know where it came from.
But according to the records in the exercises, the first version of "Mountain Sitting Art" can only rely on "sitting on a mountain" to improve the realm.
Rely on the selected mountain to continuously increase the height, so as to obtain the corresponding cultivation feedback.
This process is too long.
In ancient times, mountains and rivers were not as easy to change as they are now.
It often takes thousands of years for a mountain to increase its height a little.
If this "Mountain Sitting Art" is not a joke, then it is not for people to practice.
It is better to say that it is for the trees and rocks on the mountain.
But as far as Li Fan knows, in the current world of immortal cultivation, there are no plants, monsters, or alien monsters except humans.
Those slightly stronger beasts can only control a trace of extraordinary power by relying on their blood.
But it is absolutely impossible to practice.
"Could it be that in the beginning, there were also spirits in this world? But later something unexpected happened and all the monsters disappeared." Li Fan couldn't help but guess.
However, no matter what the truth is, it has little to do with Li Fan's practice of "Sitting on the Mountain". He just daydreamed about it, and it was useless to delve into it.
The first edition of "Sitting on the Mountain" could not be used by cultivators for practice.
But with the advent of the catastrophe, the changes in mountains and rivers became more frequent, and this "Sitting on the Mountain" became barely able to be practiced.
Later, a thousand years ago, a brilliant person accidentally obtained this "Sitting on the Mountain".
According to its essence of "sitting on the mountain and enjoying the fruits of its labor", the practice was modified.
Self-cultivation can also increase the progress of the practice.
And the scope of application of "sitting on the mountain and enjoying the fruits of its labor" has been expanded from mountains to people.
This officially made "Sitting on the Mountain" a precious and extraordinary method.
It's a pity that this peerless genius only recorded this matter in the preface of the practice. He did not leave his own name.
Like the Dinghai Sword, the "Zuoshan Jue" is a Jindan stage practice.
This life is definitely enough for Li Fan to practice.
Li Fan practiced according to the practice formula, and in just a moment, he got started with the "Zuoshan Jue".
But then, the sluggish feeling in practice reappeared.
Obviously, the "Zuoshan Jue" is not compatible with Li Fan's foundation-building artifact Canghai Pearl.
Li Fan hesitated for a moment, but he started to practice the "Taishang Yuanyuan Zhenjing".
He completely eliminated the power of the "Qianji Yuhuan Jinzhang" and turned to practice the "Zuoshan Jue".
With the help of the huge and refined cultivation of the foundation-building stage, Li Fan practiced the "Zuoshan Jue" to the foundation-building stage in a short time.
"Next, we have to see how effective this [Sitting and Enjoying the Fruits of Others] is."
"If the effect is average, then I might as well practice the "Dinghai Sword"."
Having made up his mind, Li Fan took out the jade slip of the "Qianji Yuhuan Jinzhang".
"There is no greater favor than passing on the Dharma, especially in this world where immortals cannot practice together. The favor of passing on the Dharma is almost like rebirth."
"He Zhenghao took care of me a lot before, I think it was because of [sitting back and enjoying the fruits of others' labor]."
"It's a pity that he is too narrow-minded, and all the favors are small. Even if he can give back his cultivation, I don't think it will be much."
"Investment, investment, naturally the greater the investment, the greater the return."
"Just play a big one and see what this "Sitting Mountain Secret" is like."
He took out the Tianxuan small mirror and checked the market of the Nascent Soul Technique.
In the Ten Thousand Immortals League, the price of Qi Refining Technique is generally between 1000-3000 contribution points.
The foundation-building technique is generally between 5000-10000 contribution points.
Starting from the Golden Core Technique, the price has ushered in a big leap.
The lowest level also requires 30,000 points, and the more sophisticated the Dan-forming method, the higher the price.
From 40,000 to 50,000.
For the Nascent Soul True Skill, the starting point is 50,000, and 100,000 contribution points is not much.
Li Fan even saw a skill called "Yin Yang Dual Cultivation Cantong Qi", which was marked with an astonishing price of 150,000 points.
I don't know what the mystery is.
"Kou Hong, Dao Xuanzi, I will definitely not let you brothers kill each other in this life."
Li Fan smiled slightly and chose to sell the Nascent Soul Skill: "Thousand Machine Jade World Gold Seal".
The Tianxuan Small Mirror swept across with a faint light.
After a while, a price of 90,000 contribution points was given.
Considering that the Tianxuan Mirror was discounted for the purchase, it means that this "Thousand Machine Jade World Gold Seal" is indeed not bad.
Li Fan did not hesitate and chose to accept it directly.
A golden contract flew out of the Tianxuan Small Mirror and stopped in front of Li Fan.
Li Fan read it carefully.
The contract explained various precautions for the transaction of skills.
Once the transaction is completed, the skills will belong to the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
Any future use of the technique will have nothing to do with the original owner.
The transaction cannot be reversed.
The original owner's memory of the technique will also automatically disappear after the transaction is completed.
Please do not keep a copy of the technique and trade it with others. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences.
…
No objection.
Using spiritual power as a pen, Li Fan signed his name on the golden contract.
Then the contract turned into countless golden particles, some of which disappeared into Li Fan's body.
The other part returned to the Tianxuan small mirror with the jade slip.
The transaction was completed, and Li Fan's memory of the specific content of the "Thousand Machines Jade Huan Jin Zhang" technique disappeared.
He only remembered that he had this technique before, but he had no impression of every word and sentence of the technique.
Li Fan did not feel lost at all. After all, it was a bound item of [Huanzhen], so he was not afraid of losing it.
"It seems that I can make a lot of money from this in every life in the future."
With 90,000 contribution points in hand, Li Fan's experiment on the effect of [Sitting and Enjoying the Fruits of Others] began.
"The experiment needs a control group, so let's choose Xiao Heng."
The first investment target of Zuoshan Jue was naturally Su Xiaomei, who was born with an immortal body and was envied by heaven.
The clone put on clothes, hid his cultivation with the Hiding Shape Talisman, and stood aside.
Then he used the communication talisman to call the two of them to come.
Not long after, Su Xiaomei and Xiao Heng came to the stone chamber at the bottom of the lake.
They looked at the clone beside Li Fan curiously, wondering who this strange cultivator was.
But Li Fan didn't say anything, and they didn't dare to ask.
"Hello, Master!"
"Hello, Senior!"
The two of them bowed respectfully.
"How are you two doing in your cultivation?" Li Fan asked with his back to them.
"Master, I'm practicing very fast. I've already completed my Qi training and will soon be able to build my foundation. But building a foundation requires some rare items from heaven and earth, and also foundation-building techniques. It requires a lot of contribution points, and I still need to save them for a long time." Su Xiaomei stared at Li Fan with her big eyes and said pitifully.
"To answer the senior, I'm preparing for building my foundation just like my younger sister." Xiao Heng was a little reserved.
He was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about something.
After a while, Li Fan turned around and said, "I've delayed you by collecting Daoyun antiques for me."
Xiao Heng said quickly, "That's not right, senior. It's my honor to work for you. If it weren't for you, how could we leave the world and embark on the immortal path?"
"Besides, the cultivation method we practice was provided by you."
"I will never forget your kindness in passing on the Dharma."
Li Fan waited for Xiao Heng to finish speaking before he said, "In the matter of cultivation, one step is fast, and every step is fast."
"If you rely on your own accumulation, I'm afraid you will have to wait another three to five years."
"If you waste a few years of the most precious time for cultivation, I'm afraid your future achievements will be completely different."
"So..."
Li Fan paused and continued: "You can choose your favorite skills and rare items in this Tianxuan Mirror, and I will pay for it."
"After getting it, you will immediately build your foundation, don't delay any longer."
Su Xiaomei and Xiao Heng were stunned at first, as if they didn't react to this great thing falling on their heads.
And when they showed joy and were about to kowtow and thank them.
But then they heard Li Fan say: "Su Xiaomei has always called me Master, although I have never agreed, but there is always a trace of affection. So I won't ask her for contribution points. It's the master's care for the disciple."
"As for you... the contribution points are considered to be lent to you first. You need to collect heaven and earth rare items for me in the future to repay. Do you have any objections?"
This speech made Su Xiaomei and Xiao Heng react completely differently.
Su Xiaomei shouted "Long live the master", then kowtowed, and then rushed to the Tianxuan small mirror impatiently to choose the skills.
Xiao Heng looked at Su Xiaomei and smiled bitterly.
Then his face became serious: "Senior is willing to lend me contribution points to let me build my foundation in advance. It is already a great favor, how can I be ungrateful."
"After building the foundation, I will definitely do my best to collect the wonders of heaven and earth. To repay the kindness of the senior."
Li Fan nodded slowly after hearing this: "In this case, you go too."
Xiao Heng also kowtowed, then walked to the Tianxuan small mirror and started to choose with Su Xiaomei.
Looking at the two people with excited faces, Li Fan's eyes were deep.
Su Xiaomei and Xiao Heng were treated very differently, naturally Li Fan was controlling the variables.
After the teaching, as their cultivation level improved, how much feedback on their cultivation level could Li Fan get.
Is it worth the initial investment.
How much difference will the feedback obtained from free teaching and paid teaching be?
For the same amount of contribution points, is it more about the cultivation gained through the investment in "Sitting Mountain Jue" or the improvement brought by practicing in Tianxuan Mirror?
These questions and so on are what Li Fan needs to figure out.
This determines how Li Fan will use the [Sitting and Enjoying] feature of "Sitting Mountain Jue" next.
After the initial stage of foundation building, the consumption of Tianxuan Mirror's spiritual awakening has risen to 100 points per day.
And the bonus multiplier has also dropped from 27 times to about 20 times.
Compared with the Qi Refining Stage, the difficulty of cultivation in the foundation building stage has made a qualitative leap.
Kou Hong and Daoxuanzi are not mediocre.
But it took them more than 200 years to practice to the great perfection of foundation building.
This also explains the difficulty of cultivation to some extent.
The consumption of contribution points is really too large.
Although Li Fan can foresee and easily earn a lot of contribution points.
But he still needs to be thrifty.
