Chapter 156: The Lick Dog Has Nothing

"Four hundred thousand contribution points..."

"The lifetime accumulation of a Nascent Soul Formation Master is indeed extravagant."

Li Fan stared fixedly at the golden legacy exchange, his eyes wide open.

Without hesitation, he picked up the spirit-recognizing ball and began the formation test.

The first-level test was very easy, just some basic knowledge of formations. Li Fan had immersed himself in formations for over a decade, so passing the first level was effortless.

Golden light emerged from the legacy exchange, converging onto Li Fan.

The golden foil dimmed slightly, and when Li Fan checked with the Heaven Mystery Mirror, he indeed found an increase of forty thousand contribution points.

It became 63,600 points.

Excited, he started the second-level test.

After a while, Li Fan's divine sense withdrew from the spirit-recognizing ball, and his expression became unpleasant.

"After ten years of hard cultivation, I'm still just a bit short of completing the second-level test?"

"When will I be able to exhaust these four hundred thousand contribution points with this rate?"

The treasure seemed within reach, yet elusive due to the limitations of his formation skills. It was like a small hand teasing Li Fan's heartstrings, tempting him to drop everything and immerse himself in the study of formations.

"Zhang Zhiliang, your methods are really something!"

"The motivating effect of a huge contribution point reward is truly immediate. Even I can't resist it."

"The second-level test hasn't even involved the 'Infinite Formation' yet, and I can still rely on my clone to study formation knowledge. But later, I'll need my main body to read and learn the 'Infinite Formation' from the encrypted jade slip."

"In that case, my cultivation will inevitably be delayed."

"I hope that before that happens, the business of the Bright Moon Palace can be laid out. With the feedback from the Sitting Mountain Secret, even if I don't practice at all, the advancement of my realm won't be much slower."

"With over sixty thousand contribution points, I should be able to manage for a while. But it's still not enough!"

"I need to quickly withdraw all the contribution points from the legacy exchange!"

A gleam of determination flashed in Li Fan's eyes.

Driven by tremendous motivation, both his main body and his clone began to study formations.

Whenever they got tired, they would ignite the silver fragrance.

Revitalized, they continued their studies.

With the double boost, Li Fan's formation skills steadily improved.

...

So, over a month passed.

Chu Xingyang's wedding drama finally arrived.

Li Fan had to allocate some of his attention to the lifelong event of the first customer of the Bright Moon Palace.

However, the outcome left Li Fan in both laughter and tears.

At the wedding scene, Chu Xingyang descended from the sky, brazenly declaring that the bride should follow him.

How could the groom endure this? With a grim face, he vowed to beat Chu Xingyang to death on the spot.

But Chu Xingyang's talent was indeed remarkable. In three months, he not only advanced to the Foundation Building stage but also surpassed the groom, who had been in the Foundation Building stage for a long time.

After a prolonged struggle, even without Li Fan's intervention, the groom was already showing signs of defeat.

While battling the groom, Chu Xingyang, full of pride, shouted, "Aiyue, see this! This guy surnamed Zhang is so unworthy. How can he deserve you? Come with me! I will definitely make you happy!"

Unable to bear it, the groom, with a face turned purple, swore to kill Chu Xingyang on the spot.

But Chu Xingyang skillfully evaded every attack, even adding a touch of mockery.

He became more and more arrogant, about to speak again when the bride suddenly shouted.

"Enough, Chu Xingyang! Have you caused enough trouble!"

Following that, a cold radiance struck towards him.

Chu Xingyang, terrified, barely avoided the bride's attack. He asked, "Aiyue, what are you doing?"

The bride gritted her teeth, "Don't call me Aiyue! I've told you more than once. I voluntarily became Dao companions with Zhang Qi because we love each other. There's no coercion, and it has nothing to do with the difference in cultivation levels!"

"You, as my friend, not only failed to congratulate me on my wedding but also came here to create chaos!"

"From now on, there is no friendship between us!"

After saying that, the bride joined forces with the groom, Zhang Qi, attacking Chu Xingyang.

The bride's words dealt a heavy blow to Chu Xingyang, whose face turned pale.

Driven by the instinct to survive, he bit his teeth, fled with injuries, and found a secluded cave to treat his wounds.

After slowly recovering from his injuries, Chu Xingyang's eyes were filled with renewed determination.

"It must be because my current strength is still not enough."

"If Foundation Building doesn't work, I'll aim for Core Formation. If Core Formation doesn't work, I'll aim for Nascent Soul."

"As long as I am strong enough, Aiyue, you will eventually change your mind."

Chu Xingyang looked into the distance and muttered to himself.

...

A farce finally came to an end.

Apart from the loss of face for the parties involved, the topic of how Chu Xingyang completed Foundation Building in such a short time became a popular discussion among cultivators.

Gradually, the reputation of the Bright Moon Palace spread among Qi Refining and Foundation Building cultivators due to the matter of extraordinary items and cultivation techniques.

It turned out that the affair with extraordinary items and cultivation techniques at the Bright Moon Palace was not a scam but genuine!

With real-life examples, more and more cultivators came from afar to seek assistance from the Bright Moon Palace.

Of course, the contribution points were still limited for now, so Li Fan ordered the Yin sisters to carefully select individuals.

An average of one spot per month was sufficient.

Others were sent away using the excuse of insufficient fate.

This cautious behavior by the Bright Moon Palace actually deepened its credibility in the hearts of cultivators.

If any cultivator could borrow extraordinary items and techniques casually from the Bright Moon Palace, they would worry about some earth-shattering conspiracy within.

Thus, the name of the Bright Moon Palace became more and more renowned.

In many areas of Dao Yuanzhou, Qi Refining experts who wanted to advance to Foundation Building came from afar, seeking borrowing methods.

As for the 36% interest after three years, it was selectively ignored by those borrowers

.

The speed at which Foundation Building cultivators could earn contribution points was more than twice that of Qi Refining cultivators.

Even if they chose to repay within three years, the total contribution points repaid would only be close to twice the original amount.

Worth it!

In this way, anchored at 39 years, the grand plan of the Bright Moon Palace's passage technique finally began in an orderly manner.

When the time reached the anchor at 40 years, Li Fan finally completed the second-level test of the spirit-recognizing ball.

The contribution points increased by another forty thousand.

Every month, there was the return of contribution points from those who had borrowed methods before.

The turnover of contribution points finally began to relax slowly.
