Chapter 179 - 179: 165 Blue Blood Refining Ice Pill
He Zhenghao again boasted about his past achievements, like doubling his contribution in ten years and earning in one go the equivalent of several years of hard labor.
Later, under Li Fan’s gaze indicating him to wrap things up, He regretfully brought an end to his bragging and bid farewell.
The upgrade of the Tianxuan Mirror notified him just in time.
“Cultivator Li Fan, welcome to the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals. As a benefit, we’ll be giving you a free gift of 1,000 contribution points. You can use these points to exchange for Spirit Stones, techniques, magical treasures and more.”
“You received a transfer of 1,500 contribution points from He Zhenghao.”
“Current total contribution points: 2,500 points.”
Granted, he had 2,500 contribution points right at the start, but to Li Fan, whose wealth had once surpassed a million, these points didn’t trigger any significant emotional response.
Especially in the final stage of Foundation Establishment, the cost for the enlightenment of the Tianxuan Mirror has already risen to 300 contribution points per day.
Now, Li Fan realized that these 300 contribution points were roughly equivalent to what an average cultivator at the final stage of Foundation
Establishment could earn from performing low-risk tasks for nearly a month.
Run errands for most of the month, and then spend a day cultivating with enlightenment.
Then continue to run errands.
And thus, the cycle repeats.
Add to this the occasional stroke of luck when he can land some high-reward, low-risk tasks.
In a year’s time, one could only manage to accumulate a pitiful amount of contribution points.
This is the fate of ordinary cultivators in the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.
If one is unsatisfied and wants to take a gamble, then risky endeavors come with the risk of falling too.
As a person who keeps coming back, Li Fan naturally would not stoop to the same fate.
Using his old trick, he bought a storage ring and, after going out and returning once more, he exchanged the treasurers and the remnants of the pillar from the Tai Yan Boat.
This got him 2,831 contribution points.
Still too little!
Li Fan remembered that roughly half a year from now, the Exotic Dragon Whale that had devoured numerous Liuli Beads to gain spiritual wisdom was going to destroy the Spirit Mist Grass Island.
True Lord Qingmu Hua also took advantage of this to set a trap and made a great harvest.
Li Fan naturally didn’t want to miss such a feast, and he needed to accumulate enough contribution points to participate before it happened.
Li Fan could not help but look back at the task of collecting Blue Blood Coral.
Without hesitation, he accepted the task right away.
Subsequently, through the teleportation array, he arrived at the Fog Crow Island in the northwest sea area of the Misthaven Ocean.
The island was guarded by a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage. His hunched figure concealed within a black robe made it impossible to see his face or expressions.
His energy gave off a chilling vibe, instantly repelling anyone who came near.
Li Fan gave him a curt nod before quickly departing.
Once he stepped outside the Island Protection Array, Li Fan looked up.
The island was shrouded in a thin layer of grey mist which hinted at the presence of flocks of birds within it.
Li Fan flew up to the edge of the mist and caught one of the birds for a closer look, guiding it with his spiritual power.
“Caw! Caw!”
These birds were obviously what they call the Fog Crows.
They had no physical form and were entirely composed of this grim fog.
The Fog Crow struggled, flapped its wings, and kept trying to peck at Li Fan with its large, curved beak.
The contact between the spiritual power and the fog actually generated a faint burning sensation, which surprised Li Fan somewhat.
“These Fog Crows seem to have some use, but only the people of Tiantong Hall are privy to their secrets.”
After examining it for a while without finding anything useful, Li Fan let the Fog Crow return to the fog.
Then, he turned to his main task and flew off in a westward direction. After flying over two hundred miles, Li Fan concealed his aura and dived into the depths of the sea.
In the immense underwater ruins stretching for dozens of miles, a stalk of Blue Blood Coral strikingly grows amidst it.
Its entire body is transparent, emitting a faint, ghostly glow.
All kinds of different marine life have established their homes around this coral.
Moreover, there is a sea serpent, equivalent in strength to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, lurking nearby for protection.
This peaceful yet beautiful scene was abruptly broken by Li Fan’s arrival.
The technique of Binding Worm was set in motion, and at the same time, [Real] transformed into the Ocean Pearl.
Under the sweep of the Cloud Sword, the sea serpent instantly lost its life.
“Huh? After the Foundation Establishment Strange Object transformed into the Ocean Pearl, its power within the Cloud Sea actually seems to have increased somewhat?”
With a single slashing motion, Li Fan immediately noticed the difference.
He carefully sensed the feelings coming from his surroundings. “This feeling, is it some kind of inexplicable affinity from the Cloud Sea?”
“Is it treating the Ocean Pearl like its own sibling?”
Li Fan smirked and didn’t take it seriously. His gaze focused on the Blue Blood Coral.
In the rumbling sound, the Blue Blood Coral was uprooted and collected into the Storage Ring.
The homes of countless beings were destroyed, and they scattered and fled for their lives.
Li Fan had no qualms about playing the destroyer.
“That’s 3,000 contribution points at hand, which was easier than crossing the law.”
Li Fan remembered that Elder Chen from the Medical Hall was always willing to buy this Blue Blood Coral.
So, he carefully recalled where else it existed in the Cloud Sea.
“Mm, there seems to be another stalk not far from here, in an underwater deep valley.”
“Might as well collect that too.”
Thus, without much effort, Li Fan dug up another stalk of Blue Blood Coral. He returned to the Tianxuan Mirror and chose to hand them over.
Once the other party received both corals, they quickly calculated the mission reward.
6,000 contribution points were instantly brought in.
“I wonder what kind of elixir Elder Chen intends to refine with this Blue Blood Coral?”
Li Fan casually asked.
After a while, perhaps due to the face of these two Blue Blood Corals, a reply came back.
“The Frost Intent Heartless Pill, needed for exploring a certain secret realm. If you can find more of this coral in the future, you can trade it all to me.”
“No matter how much you find, I’ll take it.”
“The Frost Intent Heartless Pill, huh.” Li Fan contemplated the name of this elixir, deep in thought.
After completing the task, Li Fan now had over ten thousand contribution points.
And since he had joined the Immortal Alliance, only three days had passed.
The speed at which his contribution points were increasing was truly astonishing.
Li Fan looked at the most conspicuous bounty mission.
“I still cannot miss the 100,000 contribution points for the Scroll of Mistwaters in this lifetime.”
“But that old guy called Celestial Doctor is quite peculiar.”
“Judging by his strength, he is at least at the level of Unity Immortal Monarch.”
The scene of the black-clothed Unity-Path cultivator from Yuandao State, who froze Li Fan’s thinking, was still fresh in his mind.
Naturally, Li Fan would not face the Celestial Doctor in his own body.
“It seems I will have to consecrate my split form.”
He bought all the materials needed to create a split form, went underwater again to get the Heavenly Crystal Spirit Sand, and then headed straight to the Cave Mansion where Sikong Yi was hiding.
Sikong Yi and his split form, Baili Chen, were elusive, and if they were to track them down through the technique “The Secret of Swapping Day and Night” , they would be afraid that they would both escape through the Teleportation Array.
It would then be a bother to chase after them.
Better to await their return here..
