My Longevity Simulation

The prices of items sold in the Tianxuan Mirror are not fixed.

The prices are regulated by the Tianxuan Mirror and are directly related to the number of people buying the items.

For example, at this moment, the news of the depletion of Liuli Beads and the temporary halt in Liuli Pill production immediately triggered a frenzy of purchases among some individuals.

Some genuinely needed the Liuli Pill to accelerate their cultivation, but many, like Li Fan, wanted to hoard and make a significant profit.

As a result, the price of Liuli Pills surged from 6 points to 9 points in a short period.

This sudden change in price also caught the attention of those who were unaware.

After some inquiries, they found out about the imminent extinction of Liuli Beads.

These individuals hastily joined the buying frenzy as well.

The price of Liuli Pills continued to rise.

Temporarily reaching an astonishing price of 12 points per pill.

Li Fan thought it was enough and chose to sell all the Liuli Pills he had on hand.

Naturally, he sold them directly to the Tianxuan Mirror.

Due to the high demand, the Tianxuan Mirror's purchase price was not as low as when it bought the Stone Tablet of Prohibition, almost halving the price.

Instead, it was at a "high" price of 10 points per pill.

Li Fan wasn't greedy and readily sold all 350 Liuli Pills he held.

He received 3,500 contribution points, adding to the previous 129 points, bringing Li Fan's total contribution points to an impressive 3,629 points!

After Li Fan made his move, the market's fervor gradually cooled down.

The price of 12 points per pill obviously exceeded the true value of Liuli Pills.

After all, the effectiveness of Liuli Pills was not irreplaceable. There were many other pills with similar functions. The reason Liuli Pills were popular was their low price.

The sudden surge in the price of Liuli Pills was just due to people in the market being stimulated by the sudden news, temporarily losing their rationality.

When everyone calmed down, the price of Liuli Pills returned to a relatively reasonable and stable rate.

8 points contribution per pill.

At this point, Li Fan bought another 100 Liuli Pills for his own cultivation.

He spent 800 points, leaving him with 2,829 points.

Through this series of actions, Li Fan not only increased his contribution points by 600 but also managed to acquire 100 Liuli Pills essentially for free!

600 contribution points were equivalent to the annual savings of an ordinary Qi Condensation cultivator who diligently focused on tasks.

Not to mention the 100 Liuli Pills, which were like hard currency.

Li Fan sighed.

However, his sighs didn't affect the spending speed of Li Fan, the beneficiary of the situation.

"Theory of Formations," "Introduction to Alchemy," "Basics of Artifact Refining," "Treasure Guide of the Cultivation World," and other books, whether useful or not, Li Fan bought them without hesitation.

Body-protecting garments, Hidden Qi Talismans, basic composite formations, starter alchemy sets, and other commonly used items by cultivators, Li Fan bought them all generously.

As the storage ring gradually filled up, and as his contribution points rapidly decreased to 346 points, Li Fan wasn't the least bit distressed. After finishing his spending, he swallowed a Liuli Pill, activated the auxiliary cultivation mode, and began practicing the Minor Yan Water Technique.

The abundant water-attributed spiritual energy surged out, and Li Fan once again experienced what it was like to have a genius cultivation speed.

The auxiliary cultivation mode of the Tianxuan Mirror, combined with the effect of the Liuli Pill, made Li Fan's progress in cultivation incredibly rapid.

In just two days, Li Fan broke through to the early Qi Condensation stage. Following that, in three more days, he successfully cultivated Minor Yan Water Technique to the mid Qi Condensation stage.

No bottlenecks, everything flowed smoothly, and Li Fan was thoroughly enjoying the process!

Li Fan was deeply immersed in this form of cultivation. So, when the later stages of Minor Yan Water Technique were missing and the cultivation automatically stopped after reaching the mid Qi Condensation stage, he felt profoundly disappointed and empty.

Fortunately, the mid Qi Condensation part of Minor Yan Water Technique was priced at 600 contribution points, which helped calm Li Fan down a bit.

As he pondered whether to sell some Liuli Pills to acquire the following techniques, he received a visit request from He Zhenghao.

After considering it, Li Fan put on the Hidden Qi Talisman he had just bought and allowed He Zhenghao to enter.

As soon as He Zhenghao saw Li Fan, he said excitedly, "I've already arranged things for guarding Taian Island. Next, I'll take you to meet him and accept the commission."

After that, He Zhenghao handed a spiritual talisman to Li Fan and said, "Wear this on you. Remember, when we meet later, say as little as possible and leave everything to me."

Li Fan took a look at the talisman and couldn't help but grimace.

If he hadn't bought an identical one not long ago, he would have had trouble recognizing what it was.

This talisman was called the False Authority Talisman, and its effect was the opposite of a concealment talisman.

While a concealment talisman hid one's cultivation level, the False Authority Talisman was used to disguise oneself as a cultivator of a higher realm.

He Zhenghao gave Li Fan this False Authority Talisman to make him appear as a Foundation Establishment cultivator!

Indeed, the claim that a Qi Condensation cultivator was adequate to guard an island was just a ploy to deceive Li Fan.

He Zhenghao had planned all along to have Li Fan masquerade as a Foundation Establishment cultivator and take on the commission to guard Taian Island, thereby earning the price difference!

It was worth noting that the cost of hiring a Foundation Establishment cultivator and a Qi Condensation cultivator was vastly different in terms of contribution points.

He Zhenghao didn't notice Li Fan's expression and cheerfully introduced the guardian of Taian Island, Zhou Qingang, to Li Fan.

Li Fan couldn't expose He Zhenghao's plan, so he could only smile and greet Zhou Qingang reluctantly.

This person must not be closely associated with! Li Fan glanced at He Zhenghao, who had a smiling face and silently criticized.

Zhou Qingang looked at Li Fan and seemed quite satisfied.

Immediately, he directly issued a specific commission to He Zhenghao.

After accepting the commission, He Zhenghao turned to Li Fan and issued a commission to him.

"During Zhou Qingang's search for opportunities, substitute for him in guarding Taian Island. Reward: 800 contribution points per year."

Fortunately, He Zhenghao didn't skimp too much on the reward. At this point, Li Fan had no choice but to accept this task.

Zhou Qingang handed a jade token to He Zhenghao, then left in a hurry to seek his own breakthrough opportunities.

Seeing this, He Zhenghao breathed a sigh of relief and handed the token to Li Fan, saying solemnly, "This is the guardian token of Taian Island. With this, you can control the island's protective array. Please take good care of it and don't lose it."

Li Fan accepted the token, and then the two of them used a teleportation array to arrive at Taian Island.

Taian Island was not as grand as Liuli Island, with its thousands of peaks. Taian Island looked more like a bustling city.

What set it apart was that the residents of the city were all fruits with human faces.

These fruits lived and worked in this formation-defended city, just like real people.

They would live out their entire lives.

"This is the specialty of Taian Island, the Taian Fruits," He Zhenghao explained to Li Fan as they strolled through the city, pointing to the bustling "crowd."

"When these fruit-like people die, it means the Taian Fruits have ripened. Consuming a ripe Taian Fruit can add five years to the lifespan of a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage or below."

"It only has an effect the first time a person consumes it," He Zhenghao regretfully added.
