Chapter 458: The Immortal Alliance Has a Giant Rat

Jiao Xiuyuan said excitedly: "You mean, by then, even if someone sells Puxian True Leaf to them at a ridiculous price, they will have to hold their noses and buy it in order to complete the return agreement?"

"And if we eat up most of the Puxian True Leaf share in the market in advance, we will force the other party..."

“I’m afraid it’s not easy to make multiple profits!”

"Wonderful!" After figuring out the joints, Jiao Xiuyuan slapped his thigh and couldn't help but sigh.

"Jiao Daoyou is indeed a genius in business!" Li Fan nodded and praised.

Not taking Li Fan's compliment to heart, Jiao Xiuyuan's expression changed, and he frowned and thought carefully for a moment.

The excited expression on his face slowly disappeared. He shook his head and said, "Fellow Taoist's idea is indeed brilliant, but it seems too idealistic."

"What if the other party signed a contract that lent Samantabhadra True Leaves on credit, with a clause that it could be returned with equal contribution?"

"What if the other party tries to break the contract and fight back, but is not willing to buy back Puxian Zhenye?"

"There are too many uncontrollable factors and the risks are too high."

Li Fan said with some disapproval: "Is there any risk-free business in the world? Compared with the profits it can make, I think it is worth a try."

Jiao Xiuyuan's expression moved slightly, and he was about to answer, but he heard Li Fan say: "Besides, I think that even if the other party gives up fighting with us and withdraws voluntarily, the large amount of Puxian Zhenye we have acquired will make less money than we lose."

"Why do fellow Taoists say this?" Jiao Xiuyuan raised his eyebrows and asked with some disbelief.

A smile emerged from the corner of Li Fan's mouth and he stretched out his right index finger.

An instant later, a crystal clear icosahedron dice appeared on it out of thin air.

It continued to rotate rapidly, reflecting many broken pictures.

After being stunned for a moment, Jiao Xiuyuan recognized the treasure in Li Fan's hand and exclaimed: "Heaven and Earth Universe Dice?!"

Just as he was about to take a closer look at the picture on the dice, Li Fan immediately put it away.

"After my deduction on this matter, it should be close to ten." Li Fan said seriously.

Seeing Li Fan's confident look, Jiao Xiuyuan couldn't help but become a little hesitant.

"I'll find out more later." After saying that, the puppet in front of Li Fan fell completely silent as if it had lost its control consciousness.

Li Fan was not in a hurry and stood quietly aside, waiting patiently.

This wait lasts for one day and one night.

After life came to Jiao Xiuyuan again, he suddenly opened his eyes and said with joy: "There's a chance!"

"Oh? What did fellow Taoist find out?" Li Fan asked with interest.

Jiao Xiu came closer and lowered his voice: "According to reliable information, the people behind the manipulation of the price of Samantabhadra True Leaf are several god-transformation monks headed by Tantai Can from Tianshu Prefecture."

"Their backgrounds, more or less, can be related to the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance."

"And the Xian Ming Zhen Zhen Talisman used in various places is basically monopolized by them."

"Tantai Can..." This surname was so special that it reminded Li Fan of the formation genius Tantai Tao who died unexpectedly in his previous life.

"Could it be the same family?" Li Fan thought to himself, but kept a calm expression on his face and continued to listen.

Jiao Xiuyuan gushed: "The facts are somewhat different from what we speculated. Because they control the production line of the Xianming True Discrimination Talisman, these people have a large backlog of Samantabhadra True Leaves."

"The Wanxian Alliance collects a limited number of wise truth-discriminating talismans every year, and profits are too slow. So, this group of people made a crooked idea."

"Some of them borrowed a large amount of contribution points from [Qingfeng Hall] using some of the Samantabhadra True Leaves they had as collateral."

"At the same time, the remaining people, in turn, borrowed Puxian True Leaf from Qingfeng Hall on credit."

"After one round, the Pu Xian Zhen Ye returned to his own hands. At the same time, he gained an equal value of contribution through arbitrage."

…

When Li Fan heard this, he frowned slightly and interrupted Jiao Xiuyuan: "I remember, the interest rate of Qingfeng Hall is not low, right? How much profit can they make by doing this? Moreover, if the contribution is obtained, why do they have to go to extra trouble to use Pu Xian's true Ye loaned it out again?"

Jiao Xiuyuan smiled and said, "That's why I said there is an opportunity."

"Because, in actual name, these Samantabhadra True Leaves are the property of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance."

"The Xian Ming True Discernment Talisman involves the secrets of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, so naturally control measures must be taken."

"Those like Tantai Can only got the position of responsible for making the sage and truth-discriminating talisman because of their respective backgrounds."

"Every once in a while, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance headquarters will send people for routine inspections."

"Although there are internal connections, we can know the news in advance. However, we still need to do the superficial work. At least it can be done openly and we can't lose too much."

Jiao Xiuyuan snorted softly, with a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes: "Even though the profits in this business are already frighteningly high, they are still not satisfied."

"Pledge it without authorization in exchange for huge contributions, leveraging it, and making waves in the market."

"And this group of people have deep backgrounds and are well-informed. Therefore, they can do anything and make a lot of profits. Qingfengtang's little interest rate is really not taken seriously by them."

"Not to mention anything else, just talking about the Puxian True Leaf, almost the entire inventory of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is in their hands. Isn't it easy to manipulate the price? Harvesting monks who don't know what they are doing is no problem at all."

Li Fan nodded slowly, understanding the methods of Tantai Can and his group.

To put it bluntly, it means misappropriating strategic materials from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and exchanging them for contribution points.

Then, through inside information, they bought low and sold high, earning the difference and making a profit for themselves.

"Such a crime is not small. Fellow Daoist Jiao can find out so much, his ability is really about to reach the sky!" Li Fan came back to his senses and praised.

Jiao Xiuyuan waved his hand: "It's because these people are really not human beings, too arrogant! Not only did they not keep it strictly confidential, but they also used it as a capital to brag in casual chats. That's why I know."

"Otherwise, how could I know such a private matter!"

Li Fan smiled and didn't dwell on this aspect, but discussed with Jiao Xiuyuan the feasibility of sniping Tan Taican's gang.

"In this way, my previous concerns are no longer a problem."

"No matter what, they must take back Puxian Zhenye. Even if they have to go bankrupt, they must do so."

"Otherwise, once the truth is revealed, even the backers behind them can't protect them."

"By then, it won't be a matter of bankruptcy. Death and disappearance are both the results that we want."

Jiao Xiuyuan's face was cold and he said firmly.

"Good!" Li Fan applauded with approval.

"The only worry is that you and I are weak and may not be the opponent."

"If we can't kill the enemy in one blow, and the other party reacts, our plan will probably fail."

Jiao Xiuyuan suddenly said.
