My Simulated Road to Immortality

Chapter 70: Chapter 69: So It’s You

Before entering seclusion, Li Fan set the minimum limit to 100 contribution points.

If it falls below this number, the auxiliary cultivation mode will be forcibly interrupted.

Feeling as though he had been abruptly awoken from a great sleep, Li Fan felt a momentary annoyance, which he quickly suppressed.

“This rate of contribution point consumption is too fast.”

The days of holding more than 3000 points seemed to have just been yesterday, but in the blink of an eye, it had all been spent.

“There is about two years left until the opening of the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters. Before then, I need to find a way to earn more contribution points to increase my strength.”

He once again browsed the task page of the Tianxuan Mirror.

Li Fan chose to ignore the tasks issued by the officials of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.

Upon reaching the Final Stage of Energy Refining, the official tasks one can accept are still all low-reward yet harmless ones.

For instance, working as an assistant to an alchemist, tool refiner, or symbol master, or helping to maintain and inspect arrays around the Cloud Sea.

While it’s safe, the contribution points come too slowly.

If Li Fan had the intention of learning alchemy or tool refining, it might be worth considering.

But with the opening of the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters imminent, it’s more important to get “The Cloud and Water Scroll” first.

Regrettably, Li Fan’s luck seems to be poor this time.

After a long time, he still hadn’t found a task he liked.

After thinking for a moment, Li Fan took out the communication talisman that He Zhenghao had given him and sent a message to him.

“Daoist He, do you know of any quick methods to earn contribution points? I’ve been looking in the Tianxuan Mirror for a long time, the rewards for most tasks are only a few dozen points. My cultivation consumes thirty points a day. At this rate, when will I be able to exchange for a Foundation Establishment

Technique

Li Fan spoke in a complaining tone.

After sending the message, Li Fan put the communication talisman aside.

While waiting for He Zhenghao’s reply, Li Fan resumed his cultivation.

Although his training speed was much slower without the support of the Enlightenment Mode, he was still making slow progress.

Three days later, He Zhenghao finally replied.

“Hahaha, that’s the way of our Alliance of Thousands of Immortals. Novice cultivators often have to spend several years working hard to exchange for a single technique. It’s the same for everyone.”

‘ “But …

He Zhenghao changed the subject, continuing: “Since you joined via my recommendation, naturally, I should lend you a hand.”

“After all, I too hope that you will reach the Foundation Establishment phase as soon as possible!”

“However, this matter isn’t suitable to discuss via a communication talisman. If you’re willing, you can come to Liuli Island and we’ll talk about it in person.”

Initially, Li Fan was just asking with a try and see attitude without expecting He Zhenghao to give such a definitive answer.

“That’s timely assistance. But there must be a reason…” Remembering how generous He Zhenghao had been in this life and the previous one, Li Fan thought carefully.

Without hesitation, he left the Tianxuan mirror and headed straight for Liuli Island.

In the middle of Liuli Island’s Island Protection Array, He Zhenghao sat in a mountain-top pavilion, sipping tea as if he had been waiting for a long time.

“It seems that you couldn’t wait,” He Zhenghao laughed as he saw Li Fan.

He slapped his hand, and the mountain under their feet suddenly began to shake.

Then, Li Fan saw the peculiar sight of all the surrounding mountains concurrently rising.

Quickly though, he realized.

It wasn’t the other mountains rising, but the one they were on sinking.

The mountain sank rapidly, soon dropping below ground level to a space filled with silver mist.

Li Fan looked up and saw the continuous mountains in the Island Protection Array above, floating overhead like stars.

Separate mountains formed a whole, seeming to follow some rule.

Although they appeared stationary, they were in constant motion.

Seeing Li Fan’s expression, He Zhenghao was somewhat smug: “What do you think of my Mountain and River Constellation Formation?”

Having not seen the real face of the Liuli Island Protection Array in his previous life, and seeing it now, Li Fan sincerely responded: “The Mountain and River Constellation Formation… It’s quite extraordinary. But why does the Liuli Island Protection Array seem…

He Zhenghao already knew what Li Fan wanted to ask, and felt even more pleased, “That’s because I personally built the Great Array of Liuli Island, of course, it differs from the others.

Li Fan was surprised, “I didn’t expect Daoist He to also be versed in array techniques?”

However, there were still some doubts, “This Mountain and River Constellation

Formation is so huge, could it be built with your cultivation in the Foundation

Establishment Stage?”

He Zhenghao coughed and spoke seriously, “Naturally, there were others assisting me. But the arrangement of the array was definitely based on my principles. ”

“I don’t need to hide it from Daoist He. My Foundation Establishment Strange Object is a Mountain and River Hundred Veins Formation Map. Therefore, I possess a talent for array techniques that ordinary cultivators simply cannot match. Just speaking of arrays, without taking into account cultivation, even an ordinary Nascent Soul Array Master might not be better than me,” He Zhenghao said confidently.

“So that’s how it is…” Li Fan nodded, and then asked, “What exactly is Daoist He speaking about? Why so secretive and roundabout?”

He Zhenghao, with a smiling face, said, “It’s not a big deal, but it involves something taboo.”

“Do you know, many years ago, the mortals of the Immortal Cultivation world were all banished to the neighboring small worlds?”

Li Fan narrowed his eyes, “I’ve heard a bit about it.”

He Zhenghao continued, “Actually, there are many valuable things in these small worlds that can be exchanged for a lot of contribution points. But it’s somewhat time-consuming and laborious for one person to collect them, and the effort outweighs the gain.”

“However, many of the powerful and influential mortals in these small worlds are scheming to return to the Immortal Cultivation world. So…” Li Fan understood what He Zhenghao wanted to do: “So?”

“We can use this as a condition to make those mortals help us collect supplies. As it happens, I know of such a small world called Da Li. It’s rather vast, and produces several kinds of precious treasures. There’s even quite a lot of Star Sea Quartz Sand.

“Star Sea Quartz Sand is a common element used in array layout, usually priced between two to three contribution points per kilogram…”

As He Zhenghao endlessly explained, he noticed that Li Fan’s gaze was growing weird, and he became somewhat embarrassed.

Instantly, he said, “Don’t look at me like that. I know what you’re thinking.” “How can an esteemed cultivator lower themselves to do such a thing, right?” “But what you don’t know is that if you don’t do this, others will.”

“A single small world, scavenged once every ten or so years can yield over 2000 contribution points. What if we have several such worlds? Wouldn’t that be equivalent to getting over 2000 points free of charge each year?” “You see, after analyzing it for you this way, doesn’t it seem reasonable?”
