"I'm really looking forward to it." Li Fan looked at He Zhenghao, full of confidence, and said with a smile.
He Zhenghao boasted about his past achievements, talking about how his contribution points doubled in ten years and how a big profit once equaled several years of hard work.
After Li Fan signaled with his eyes, He Zhenghao finally stopped, still reluctant to leave.
The upgrade prompt from the Tianxuan Mirror came at the right time.
"Cultivator Li Fan, welcome to join Wanxian Alliance. As a benefit, you will be given 1000 contribution points for free. You can use contribution points to exchange for spirit stones, techniques, treasures, and more."
"You received 1500 contribution points transferred by He Zhenghao."
"Current total contribution points: 2500."
...
Although Li Fan started with 2500 contribution points in this life, it didn't cause much psychological impact on him, considering his previous wealth exceeding a million. Especially in the late foundation building stage, the daily cost of activating the Tianxuan Mirror had reached 300 contribution points.
Li Fan now understood that these 300 contribution points were roughly equivalent to an ordinary late foundation building cultivator spending almost a month doing low-risk tasks.
Most of the time, one would run errands, leaving only one day for cultivation.
And then continue running errands in an endless loop.
Adding occasional good luck in getting high-reward, low-risk tasks, it would take a year to accumulate a meager amount of contribution points.
This was the fate of ordinary cultivators in Wanxian Alliance.
If they were unwilling and wanted to take a risk for a chance to make more, there was, of course, the risk of falling.
As someone who constantly restarted, Li Fan would not fall into the same fate.
Using the same trick, he bought a storage ring, went out, and returned to exchange the gold and silver items and the remnants of the "止步残碑" in the Taixi Boat.
He gained 2831 contribution points.
Still too little!
Li Fan remembered that in about half a year, the beast, the Dragon Whale, which had swallowed many Lulizhu to gain spiritual wisdom, would destroy the islands of Lingwu Grass.
Qingmu Huasheng True Immortal also set up a plot and harvested a lot.
Li Fan naturally didn't want to miss this feast.
He had to accumulate enough contribution points before participating.
Li Fan looked at the task of collecting Blue Blood Coral from before.
Without hesitation, he directly accepted the task.
Then he directly used the teleportation array and arrived at the Mist Crow Island in the northwest of the Congyun Sea.
The guardian of Mist Crow Island was also a foundation building cultivator, with a hunched figure hidden in a black robe, expression unseen.
The aura around him revealed a sinister feeling, keeping people at a distance of thousands of miles.
Li Fan just nodded slightly to indicate his departure.
After leaving the protective island formation, Li Fan looked up.
Above this island, a thin layer of gray mist shrouded it all day.
In the gray mist, one could faintly see the shadows of flocks of birds.
Li Fan flew to the side of the gray mist, controlled by spiritual power, and caught one of the birds for careful observation.
"Croak! Croak!"
This bird was naturally the so-called Mist Crow.
Without a physical body, its entire body was composed of this gray mist.
The Mist Crow struggled, flapping its wings and constantly trying to peck at Li Fan with its large and curved beak.
When the spiritual power touched the gray mist, it actually produced a faint burning sensation.
Li Fan couldn't help but feel a bit surprised.
"It seems that this Mist Crow is somewhat useful, but only members of the Heavenly Secrets Hall know about it."
After studying for a while and not getting any results, Li Fan let it go.
Then he got down to business and flew to the west of Mist Crow Island.
After flying for more than two hundred miles, Li Fan restrained his breath and dived into the sea.
In a vast underwater ruin for dozens of miles, a blue blood coral grew prominently.
Transparent, emitting a faint and ethereal glow.
Various marine creatures surrounded this coral, establishing their homes.
There was even a sea snake with strength equivalent to the middle stage of foundation building lurking around as a guardian.
This peaceful and beautiful scene was suddenly shattered by Li Fan's arrival.
Using the Binding Insect technique while transforming the "[Truth]" into the Canghai Pearl.
Under the sword of the Cloud Mist, the sea snake instantly lost its life.
"Huh? Under the transformation of the foundational artifact into the Azure Sea Pearl, the power of the moves is actually slightly enhanced within this Cloud Mist Sea?" As the sword was swung, Li Fan keenly sensed the difference.
Carefully sensing the feelings around him.
"This feeling, is it the inexplicable intimacy emanating from the Cloud Mist Sea?"
"Is it treating the Azure Sea Pearl as a brother?"
Li Fan smiled faintly, not paying much attention, and focused his gaze on the blue blood coral.
With a booming sound, the blue blood coral was pulled out and stored in the storage ring.
Countless creatures' habitats were destroyed, and they fled in panic.
Li Fan had no consciousness of being a destroyer.
"This is 3,000 contribution points in hand, easier than crossing the law for me."
Li Fan remembered that Elder Chen from the Medicine Hall would always buy this blue blood coral.
So, carefully recalling, there seemed to be another one of its kind in this Cloud Mist Sea.
"Well, it seems not far from here, in an underwater deep valley."
"Let's get it along the way."
So, with little effort, Li Fan dug out another blue coral.
Returning to the Heavenly Mirror, he chose to turn it in.
After the other party received the two corals, the mission reward was quickly settled.
6,000 contribution points immediately in hand.
"I wonder what Elder Chen wants to refine with this blue blood coral?"
Li Fan casually asked.
After a while, perhaps considering the face of these two blue blood corals, the reply came.
"Ice Heart Heartless Pill, needed for exploring a certain secret realm. If you can find this kind of coral in the future, you can also trade it with me."
"As much as you have."
...
"Ice Heart Heartless Pill." Li Fan tasted the name of this pill, pondering.
With the completion of the task, Li Fan's contribution points on him had already exceeded ten thousand.
And it had only been three days since he joined the Immortal Alliance at this moment.
The speed of contribution point growth was truly astonishing.
Li Fan looked at the most conspicuous bounty task.
"The Cloud Water Map Scroll, one hundred thousand contribution points, cannot be missed in this lifetime."
"But that old guy called the Heavenly Doctor seems a bit mysterious."
"Judging from his strength, he is at least an Unifying Dao Immortal Venerable."
The scene in Source Daozhou, where the black-clad Daoist froze Li Fan's thoughts, was still vivid.
Li Fan naturally wouldn't choose his main body to face the Heavenly Doctor.
"It seems that I have to refine a clone."
Having gathered the materials for refining the clone and obtained the Heavenly Crystal Spirit Sand from the sea floor, Li Fan headed straight for the cave where Sikong Yi was hiding.
Sikong Yi and his clone, Baili Chen, had unpredictable movements. If he sensed them through the cultivation of the "Stealing the Sun and Changing the Moon Technique," he feared that the two of them would escape far through the teleportation array.
In that case, chasing them down would be troublesome.
It was better to wait for them here.
