Chapter 151: First Investment
🕑 Added 2023-11-17 06:02:04 +0000 UTCLi Fan didn't have the intention to complain.
However, the "Mountain Meditation Technique" was indeed not initially created by human cultivators.
The exact origin was untraceable.
However, according to the records in the technique, the original version of the "Mountain Meditation Technique" required practitioners to rely on "meditating on a mountain" to advance their realm.
By selecting a peak and increasing its height, corresponding feedback in cultivation would be obtained.
This process was extremely lengthy.
In ancient times, mountains and rivers were not as easily changeable as they are now. A mountain peak would often take several thousand years to grow slightly taller.
If the "Mountain Meditation Technique" was not a joke, it seemed more suitable for use by trees and rocks on the mountain rather than people.
As far as Li Fan knew, in the current cultivation world, there were no stories of plant spirits or demonic beasts.
Even the slightly more powerful beasts could only control a trace of extraordinary power through their bloodlines but were absolutely incapable of cultivation.
"Could it be that, in the beginning, there were plant spirits and demonic beasts in this world? Perhaps something happened later, and all the demonic beasts disappeared," Li Fan speculated.
However, regardless of the truth, it had little to do with Li Fan's cultivation of the "Mountain Meditation Technique." He just had some whimsical thoughts, and delving deeper would be pointless.
The initial version of the "Mountain Meditation Technique" was fundamentally impossible for cultivators to practice.
However, with the arrival of the Great Calamity, the mountains and rivers began shifting more and more frequently, and the "Mountain Meditation Technique" became barely usable.
Later, a talented individual from a thousand years ago inadvertently obtained the "Mountain Meditation Technique." According to the profound meaning of "meditating and waiting for success," modifications were made to the technique.
Self-cultivation could also increase the progress of the technique, and the scope of "meditating and waiting for success" expanded from mountains to people.
This officially made the "Mountain Meditation Technique" a cherished and extraordinary cultivation method.
Unfortunately, this peerless genius only recorded this matter in the preface of the technique and did not leave behind their name.
Similar to the "Sea Fixing Sword Technique," the "Mountain Meditation Technique" was also a Golden Core stage technique. In this lifetime, it was undoubtedly sufficient for Li Fan to practice.
Following the technique's script, the "Mountain Meditation Technique" was quickly mastered by Li Fan in just a moment. However, the sense of stagnation during cultivation reappeared.
Obviously, the "Mountain Meditation Technique" was not compatible with Li Fan's foundational treasure, the Canghai Pearl.
After hesitating for a moment, Li Fan activated the "Tai Shang Primordial Scripture."
He diverted all the power of the "Jade Cosmos Thousand Variations Sutra" and started cultivating the "Mountain Meditation Technique."
With the assistance of the refined cultivation in the Foundation Establishment stage, Li Fan quickly advanced the "Mountain Meditation Technique" to the Foundation Establishment stage.
"Next, I'll see how effective this 'meditating and waiting for success' truly is."
"If the effect is mediocre, I might as well go and cultivate the 'Sea Fixing Sword Technique.'"
Having made up his mind, Li Fan took out the jade slip of the "Jade Cosmos Thousand Variations Sutra."
"As they say, there is no greater favor than passing on knowledge, especially in a world where different cultivation methods cannot be practiced together. The favor of passing on knowledge is similar to the favor of creation."
"He Zhenghao had taken care of me before, presumably because of the benefits of 'meditating and waiting for success.'"
"Unfortunately, his vision was too limited, and they were all small favors. Even if it could provide feedback in cultivation, it probably wasn't much."
"Investment, investment. Naturally, the larger the investment, the greater the return."
"Let's play big this time and see how this 'Mountain Meditation Technique' really is."
At this point, Li Fan took out the Tianxuan Minor Mirror and checked the market for Golden Core stage cultivation techniques.
Within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, the prices of Qi Condensation stage cultivation techniques generally ranged from 1000 to 3000 contribution points.
Foundation Establishment stage techniques, on the other hand, typically fell within the range of 5000 to 10000 contribution points.
However, starting from Golden Core stage techniques, the prices experienced a significant leap.
Even the lowest-tier Golden Core stage techniques required a minimum of 30,000 points, and the more exquisite Golden Core cultivation methods could go up to 40,000 to 50,000 points.
Genuine Nascent Soul techniques started at 50,000 points, and even reaching 100,000 contribution points was not considered excessive.
Li Fan even saw a technique named "Yin and Yang Dual Cultivation Samsara" with an astonishing price tag of 150,000 points. He wondered what mysteries it held.
"Kou Hong, Dao Xuanzi, in this world, I'll make sure that you brothers won't end up fighting each other."
Li Fan smiled faintly and chose to sell his Nascent Soul technique, the "Jade Cosmos Thousand Variations Sutra."
The faint light of the Tianxuan Minor Mirror scanned through it. After a while, it provided a price of 90,000 contribution points.
Considering that there would be a discount for the Tianxuan Mirror's purchase, it indicated that the "Jade Cosmos Thousand Variations Sutra" was indeed valuable.
Without hesitation, Li Fan directly chose to accept.
A golden contract flew out of the Tianxuan Minor Mirror, landing in front of Li Fan.
Li Fan carefully read through it.
The contract outlined various precautions for the trade of cultivation techniques.
Once the transaction was complete, the technique would belong to the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
Any future use of the technique would have no relation to the original owner.
The trade was irreversible, and the original owner's memories regarding the technique would automatically disappear after the transaction.
It was crucial not to keep copies of the technique for trade with others, or else you would pay the consequences.
…
Li Fan had no objections.
Using spiritual power as a pen, Li Fan signed his name on the golden contract.
Subsequently, the contract turned into countless golden particles, with a portion vanishing into Li Fan's body. Another part, carrying the jade slip, returned to the Tianxuan Minor Mirror.
With the transaction completed, Li Fan's memories of the specific content of the "Jade Cosmos Thousand Variations Sutra" also disappeared.
There was no sense of loss or regret. After all, it was a bound item, and there was no fear of losing it.
"It seems that I can make a big profit in every future life with this."
With 90,000 contribution points in hand, Li Fan's experiment on the effectiveness of "meditating and waiting for success" began.
"For the control group of the experiment, let's choose Xiao Heng."
The first investment target for the Mountain Meditation Technique would naturally be Su Xiaomei, a person born with an immortal physique and heavenly fortune.
The clone put on clothes, concealed its cultivation with a Concealing Form Talisman, and stood aside.
Then, using a Communication Talisman, he called the two of them to come.
