Chapter 192: The House Joins the Game

In the twelfth era, only a small group of people, including He Zhenghao, were the first to learn about the destruction of the Spirit Mist Grass island. Throughout the entire Spirit Mist Grass incident, the impact was limited to just a few states.

However, in this era, when the one running the show changed from Qingmu Huasheng Zhenjun to Jiao Xiuyuan, whose cultivation level was unknown but whose business spread throughout the entire cultivation world, the situation underwent a tremendous change.

Countless puppets acted as a propaganda machine. Through various channels, the news of the destruction of Spirit Mist Island quietly spread throughout the Xuanhuang Realm in less than half a day.

Even if only one percent of the cultivators who heard this news had speculative thoughts, and among those cultivators with speculative thoughts, only one percent took action, it would still be an extremely large number.

Moreover, in the Wanxian Alliance, where accumulating contribution points through ordinary means was quite difficult, such an "obvious" opportunity to make a fortune attracted a considerable number of cultivators. Not many cultivators were willing to miss out.

Although the majority of cultivators were not very wealthy, they could still afford to buy one or two Spirit Mist Grass plants.

With the idea of making some profit, countless cultivators rushed back to the Tianxuan Mirror at the fastest speed, competing to purchase Spirit Mist Grass.

So, half a day after He Zhenghao sent a message to Li Fan, the price of Spirit Mist Grass rose from 22 contribution points per plant to 35 points.

This was ten points higher than Li Fan's peak price of 25 points in the twelfth era.

And, the upward trend showed no signs of ending.

Excited voices from He Zhenghao kept coming.

"Haha, Friend Li Fan, I was right, the price of Spirit Mist Grass will definitely rise again!"

"It rose fifty percent in half a day, and I've earned back all my previous losses!"

"Friend, remember, don't sell the Spirit Mist Grass in your hands now. You don't know, the news of the significant reduction in the production of Spirit Mist Grass has spread like crazy outside. I don't know how many cultivators are joining the buying ranks."

"We all agree that now is far from the time to let go. At least, it has to rise another fifty percent!"

"Hahaha, my Nascent Soul technique is within reach!"

He Zhenghao was extremely excited.

Li Fan replied perfunctorily, praising a few words.

However, his attention was focused on the side of the clone.

"Friend Jiao, I see that the price has already risen quite a bit. Can we cash out now?" Watching the numbers steadily rise in the Tianxuan Mirror, Li Fan asked tentatively.

Jiao Xiuyuan's face didn't show much excitement. He closed his eyes and sensed for a moment, then shook his head, "No, it's not time yet."

"There are still bigger variables yet to come; waiting patiently is the key."

"Bigger variables?" Li Fan paced back and forth in the Qianli Tang, continuously pondering.

According to common sense, the price of Spirit Mist Grass had already risen to an extremely high level. He wondered what this so-called variable could be.

But Li Fan knew that with the existence of the Five Elements Grand Immortal Caverns, no matter how high the price of Spirit Mist Grass rose, the final outcome would definitely be a fall to dust.

Even if he didn't have time to sell and cash in, at most, he would lose ten thousand contribution points.

Easily earning it back, he wasn't worried at all. Therefore, he remained calm and watched the situation develop.

Many others decided to take another look, just like Li Fan.

For example, that Qingmu Huasheng Zhenjun.

In his hands, there were nearly ten thousand Spirit Mist Grass plants grown in his own immortal cavern.

A while ago, he happened to hear that the alliance headquarters seemed to have discovered a super-large-scale wood-attributed immortal cavern recently. Inside, there were countless spiritual plants and herbs.

It was feared that the price of Spirit Mist Grass would plummet in the near future.

Therefore, he began to systematically sell the Spirit Mist Grass in his hands. Although he tried to slow down the sales process as much as possible, keeping the price fluctuations within the usual range, the price of Spirit Mist Grass continued to decline uncontrollably, dropping from the high range of 21 points to the historical low of 18 points.

青木化生真君 suddenly realized that he wasn't the only one aware of this news. However, for the sake of their own interests, everyone tacitly chose to slowly release their stocks, preventing the price from collapsing suddenly.

Just when Qingmu had sold more than half of the ten thousand Spirit Mist Grass plants, he suddenly noticed that the price of Spirit Mist Grass not only stopped falling but also began a massive rebound.

Before he could react, the price had risen back to its previous level.

Unusual situations are often supernatural.

Qingmu immediately activated his connections and found the possible cause of this. The Spirit Mist Island was destroyed, and the cultivated Spirit Mist Grass was lost.

With his keen sense, Qingmu immediately realized that this was a rare opportunity. So, he decisively switched from selling to buying, repurchasing all the Spirit Mist Grass he had previously sold.

Although he suffered some losses in the process, soon the price of Spirit Mist Grass began a new round of skyrocketing, turning his losses into gains.

The fierceness of this rising trend surprised Qingmu, but at the same time, he felt a sense of nervous excitement.

Qingmu, who focused on cultivating various spiritual plants, understood Spirit Mist Grass better than most of the Wanxian Alliance cultivators. The price of 35 points was obviously beyond its intrinsic value.

Not to mention the existence of the wood-attributed immortal cavern; Spirit Mist Grass would eventually plummet.

However, Qingmu, who had more than ten thousand Spirit Mist Grass plants and had made up his mind to sell, hesitated.

"How about... giving it another look?"

"This sudden surge is obviously abnormal. There are traces of many people pushing it behind the scenes."

"Perhaps, it will rise a bit more?"

Once the thought arose, he couldn't let it go. For Qingmu, every point the price of Spirit Mist Grass rose meant an additional ten thousand contribution points. Even for a Nascent Soul True Immortal, earning more than ten thousand points wasn't that easy.

He had devoted a lot of effort to taking care of these Spirit Mist Grass plants. Working tirelessly, he could only earn a few tens of thousands of points as hard work fees.

Now, with a blink of an eye, he effortlessly gained all of it.

Young Qingmu Zhenjun, at this moment, still didn't understand the principle that not all gains are true gains.

Facing the crazy growth of wealth on the account, Qingmu Zhenjun became lost. He decided to wait until the price of Spirit Mist Grass rose a bit more before selling the Spirit Mist Grass in his hands.

"With the news of the discovery of the wood-attributed immortal cavern being made public, the prices of spiritual plants will certainly become lower in the future."

"Earning contribution points will also become increasingly difficult for me."

"The opportunity is rare. If I don't seize it now and make a fortune, I will surely regret it in the future."

Watching Qingmu Zhenjun, whose eyes gradually turned red as he continued to rise in price, he convinced himself easily.
