The prices of items sold in the Tianxuan Mirror are not fixed.
The price is regulated by the Tianxuan Mirror, and positively correlated with the number of people buying the items.
For instance, when the supply of Liuli Beads was cut off and the news broke that Liuli Pills could no longer be refined for a period of time, it immediately incited a portion of people to start buying in large quantities.
Some genuinely needed Liuli Pills for accelerating their cultivation, but even more people, like Li Fan, were stocking up in the hope of making a big profit.
As a result, the price of Liuli Pills rose sharply in a short period of time from 6 points to 9 points each.
This sudden price fluctuation also caught the attention of those who were still in the dark.
Upon inquiring, they learned about the imminent extinction of Liuli Beads.
So these people hurriedly joined the buying frenzy as well.
Thus, the price of Liuli Pills continued to rise.
In a brief moment, it reached an astonishing price of 12 points each.
Li Fan decided it was almost time, and chose to sell all the Liuli Pills he held.
Of course, he sold directly to the Tianxuan Mirror.
Because there were many buyers, the purchasing price offered by the Tianxuan Mirror was not nearly halved, as it had been when he sold the Stop Monument fragments before.
It staved high at 10 D0ints each.
Li Fan wasn’t greedy and readily sold all 350 Liuli Pills he held.
Upon receipt of 3500 contribution points, and adding the leftover 129 points, Li Fan’s total contribution points had soared to 3629!
After Li Fan made his move, the market frenzy slowly began to cool down.
The price of 12 points per pill was clearly beyond the intrinsic value of Liuli Pills.
After all, the benefits of Liuli Pills are not irreplaceable. There are quite a few other elixirs with similar functions. The main reason Liuli Pills were so popular was their low cost.
The sudden explosive price increase of Liuli Pills was only due to the market’s overreaction to sudden news.
When everyone calmed down, Liuli Pills returned to a comparatively reasonable and stable price.
8 points each.
At this point, Li Fan bought another 100 Liuli Pills for his own cultivation use.
He spent 800 points, leaving him with 2829.
Through his manoeuvres, Li Fan managed to increase his contribution points by 600 and, at the same time, he scored 100 Liuli Pills for free!
600 contribution points are equivalent to a year’s earnings for an ordinary Energy Refining Cultivator who diligently completes tasks.
Not to mention the 100 Liuli Pills, which are a hard currency.
Indeed, it’s like killing people and setting fires for gold, and fixing bridges and roads without casualties!
Li Fan sighed.
However, despite his sigh, as a beneficiary, his pace of consumption wasn’t affected in the least.
He outright purchased “Introduction to Formation Array”, “Introduction of Alchemy”, “Foundation of Refining”, “Treasure Guide of the Cultivation World” , regardless of whether they would be useful or not.
Body Protection Dharma Robe, Concealing Talisman, Basic Multilayered Array, Novice Alchemy Set and other commonly used items for cultivators – Li Fan bought them all without hesitation.
As his Storage Ring gradually filled up, his contribution points also plummeted rapidly down to 346.
Li Fan wasn’t distressed at all. After the shopping spree, he swallowed a Liuli Pill, activated assistive cultivation mode, and started practicing “The Minor Water Expansion Technique”.
The abundant Water Attribute Spiritual Energy surged out, and Li Fan once again experienced what it was like to cultivate at a genius speed.
With the aid of the Tianxuan Mirror’s cultivation mode and the effect of the Liuli pills, Li Fan’s progress in his cultivation is sufficed to say that he’s made leaps and bounds daily.
In just two days, Li Fan broke through the Initial Stage of Energy Refining. Then, in the next three days, he successfully cultivated “The Minor Water Expansion Technique” to perfection in the Mid Stage of Energy Refining.
No bottlenecks, things falling into place as naturally as water courses into a canal, refreshing and invigorating — he was not satiated!
Li Fan deeply indulged in this form of cultivation, so when the cultivation automatically stopped due to the lack of techniques for the Final Stage of Energy Refining in “The Minor Water Expansion Technique,” he felt utterly at a loss and empty.
Luckily, the price of 600 contribution points for the parts concerning the Final Stage of Energy Refining of “The Minor Water Expansion Technique” made Li Fan slightly calmer.
Just as he was contemplating selling some Liuli pills to exchange for the next set of techniques, he received a visit request from He Zhenghao.
After some thought, Li Fan took out the Concealed Talisman he had just recently purchased from his storage ring and wore it before letting He

As soon as He Zhenghao saw Li Fan, he excitedly said, “I’ve already spoken with the guard of Taian Island. Next, I’ll take you to him, just accept the delegation.”
Then, He Zhenghao took out a spirit symbol and handed it to Li Fan, “Wear this, remember, don’t chat too much when you meet him later, just leave everything to me.”
Li Fan took the spirit symbol and gave it a glance, his face darkened instantly.
If not for the fact Li Fan had just recently bought an identical one, he would not have recognized it.
This spirit symbol was called a “Prestige Symbol,” its effects are the opposite of the Concealed Talisman.
The Concealed Talisman hides one’s cultivation level, while the Prestige Symbol is used to disguise oneself as a cultivator of a certain realm.
This Prestige Symbol that He Zhenghao gave was meant to make Li Fan pose as a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator!
As expected, the notion that an Energy Refining Stage Cultivator being enough to guard an island was just to fool Li Fan.
He Zhenghao had initially planned to make Li Fan pose as a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, accept the guard delegation of Taian Island, and thus make a profit from the difference!
Keep in mind, the contributions required to hire a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator and an Energy Refining Stage Cultivator are incomparable.
He Zhenghao did not notice Li Fan’s change of expression, and he happily introduced Li Fan to the guard of Taian Island: Zhou Qingang.
Li Fan did not wish to expose He Zhenghao, so he greeted Zhou Qingang with a forced smile.
This person cannot be trusted! Li Fan glanced at He Zhenghao, who was wearing a smile, and silently commented.
Zhou Qingang evaluated Li Fan and was quite pleased.
Immediately, he issued a targeted delegation to He Zhenghao.
After accepting the delegation, He Zhenghao turned around to issue a delegation to Li Fan.
“During Zhou Qingang’s absence for finding opportunities, guard Taian Island in his stead. Reward: 800 contribution points annually.”
Fortunately, He Zhenghao did not slash too much. Given the current situation, Li Fan could not but accept this task.
Zhou Qingang handed a jade token to He Zhenghao and then left eagerly to seek his opportunity to breakthrough.
Seeing this, He Zhenghao also sighed in relief, handed over the token to Li Fan, and said solemnly, “This is the Guard Command of Taian Island. With this, you can control the Island Protection Array. Friend, you must keep it safe and not lose it.”
Li Fan took the token and then the two of them arrived at Taian Island through the teleportation array.
Unlike the grandeur of Liuli Island’s protective array with towering peaks, Taian Island merely seemed like a bustling city.
The distinct thing was that the city’s residents were all strange-looking fruits that mimed human faces.
These fruits, just like real humans, lived, worked, married, had children, and spent their entire lives in this city created by the array technique.
“These are the specialty products of Taian Island, Taian Fruits.” He Zhenghao told Li Fan as they strolled through the city, pointing to the bustling “crowd.”
“Once the people that these fruits transform into die, it means that the Taian Fruit is mature. Consuming a mature Taian Fruit can extend the lifespan of cultivators below the Foundation Establishment Stage by five years.”
“Only the first consumption will have this effect.” said He Zhenghao with a regretful tone..
