My Simulated Road to Immortality

Chapter 470: 442

“Aside from that, there seem to be many secret techniques concealing him, making him as elusive as a flower in the fog,”

the lady in the green dress explained slowly.

Li Chenfeng, Zhu Shaotang, and others looked at each other with horror at this information.

They were well aware that the Empire’s two sacred mentors, Qing and Hong, were powerful beings that have survived since ancient times.

The two sacred mentors have watched the empire grow step by step from a group of mortals into the grand empire that it is today.

Their guidance, in this process, was indispensable.

In the eyes of the people of the empire, the two sacred masters are the absolute incarnations of power and wisdom.

But now, the sacred master Qing confesses that she is unable to see through the messenger who just showed up?

Remembering his previous reckless behavior in front of the other party, Li Chenfeng couldn’t help but feel a burst of trepidation.

“Perhaps, it’s because I haven’t returned here in such a long time. I’m still not entirely accustomed to it.”

At this moment, Qing sighed sadly, allowing Li Chenfeng to breathe a slight sigh of relief.

A few hundred miles away,

Feeling the intermittent, blurry images from the Formless Killing Machine, Li Fan was also secretly surprised.

“It seems this sacred master is not so simple after all. She can vaguely sense and somewhat counter the Formless Killing Machine.”

“Luckily, I am one step ahead.”

For Li Fan, exchanging contribution points to obtain the Beast God Armor and other techniques controlled by the empire is an absolutely worthwhile deal.

However, if he is to truly cooperate and continue the play,

he fears that he alone might not be able to handle such a big stage and would be easily seen through.

The five million contribution points will also make him feel stretched.

“It seems like it’s time to speed up my original plan.”

With this thought in mind, Li Fan sensed the position of He Zhenghao.

While heading towards Liuli Island, he transformed back into the appearance of a monk from the Ancient Sect of Heavenly Secrets.

He Zhenghao has been a bit annoyed recently.

Looking at the constant stream of inquiry messages coming from the Communication Talisman, he simply closed it off inside his Storage Ring for some peace.

He now dares not step out of Liuli Island.

As the tales of him becoming rich overnight spread, more and more people wanted to glean information about Li Fan from him.

Some were skeptical and wanted to personally verify the authenticity of this master.

Others purely wanted to latch onto a rising star, emulating He Zhenghao’s experience to rise to the top.

There were even a few who uttered baffling words, wanting to trade something with him.

He was overwhelmed and exhausted.

He had no choice but to claim that he was in reclusion, hiding in the Mountain and River Constellation Formation on Liuli Island, daring not to meet anyone.

Oh, how frustrated He Zhenghao was!

It’s not that he was intentionally evading, but ever since joining the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, that Heavenly Machine Sect predecessor has vanished without a trace.

He didn’t know what to do!

Just as he was in distress, pondering how to explain to his friends,

a familiar aura was rapidly approaching.

Passing through the protection of the Mountain and River Constellation Formation, it arrived before him in an instant.

“Hahaha, He, it’s been a while!”

Li Fan laughed heartily, looking very pleased with himself.

He Zhenghao was stunned at first, then overjoyed.

Just when he was thinking about it, it came.

“Master, you’ve finally arrived!” He was on the verge of falling to his knees and weeping with joy.

“Hmm? What’s the matter with you?”

With a gentle flick, He Zhenghao was kept at a distance, and Li Fan clearly voiced his opinion.

After He Zhenghao had vented all his grievances, Li Fan abruptly set aside his smile, and reprimanding angrily, “Serves you right!”

“You are a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. Don’t you understand the principle of ‘silence is golden’?”

“Having gained the Nascent Soul Cultivation Technique, it would have been better to cultivate diligently, why did you go about showing off?”

“Letting your close friends know was already bad enough, why did you go ahead and make it known to everyone?”

“Not only did you bring about your own death, but you also involved me!”

Li Fan’s hair and beard were bristling, appearing extremely angry.

He Zhenghao trembled, not daring to reply.

Shaking his head, Li Fan looked at He Zhenghao, his eyes full of disappointment for the seemingly unteachable child.

He gestured as if ready to fly away.

He Zhenghao immediately panicked, “Senior, please wait! Senior, save me!”

With a gloomy face, he explained, “I didn’t mean to show off. Perhaps because of my unfulfilled wishes over the years, I was emotional that day and couldn’t control myself.”

“By the time I came to my senses, it had already spread, and it was too late for regrets.”

In reality, He Zhenghao’s character was not so weak.

While excitement and impulsiveness played a role, it was mostly due to Li Fan’s subtle manipulation and guidance on that day.

Seeing He Zhenghao’s regretful appearance, Li Fan secretly laughed in his heart, yet kept a straight face.

He said coldly, “Help? How can I help you? They say ‘mercy does not come to those who bring about their own demise.’ You dug your own grave, how can I assist you?”

He Zhenghao’s face grew even sadder. But seeing that Li Fan didn’t fly away immediately, he knew there was still a chance.

So, he hurriedly said, “The only reason these friends of mine are harassing me is because they want to follow my footsteps, receive your guidance, and thus, profit from it.”

“You could use your divine technique to sense the heavens, and then …”

Li Fan’s face turned cold, “Ridiculous, why should I help them, strangers with no relation to me?”

“Moreover, using divine techniques, I would have to face the backlash of Heaven and Earth. What’s in it for me?”

With a wave of his sleeve, Li Fan showed his discontent and was ready to leave.

He Zhenghao quickly stopped him and spontaneously blurted out, “Mountain Stance Technique! Mountain Stance Technique!”

“When I broke through to the Final Stage Foundation Establishment, did you sense any feedback in cultivation?”

Li Fan paused slightly, after a moment he slowly replied, “It seems there was something like that.”

He Zhenghao slapped his thigh, “Exactly! Senior, think about it. In the current Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, the contribution points are used to exchange for cultivation techniques.”

“If you help us earn contribution points, we can use these points to purchase cultivation techniques.”

“Doesn’t this mean that you would indirectly be performing an act of Law Transmission?”

“You should know, in the current Immortal Cultivation World, nothing could be greater than the favor of Law Transmission!”

“If you cultivate the Mountain Stance Technique and thus grant such a favor, you would certainly receive strong feedback in cultivation.”

“Moreover, the number of friends that came upon hearing the news is many.”

“If you help all of them…”

“The accumulation of a little is a lot, altogether, wouldn’t it be a significant gain in cultivation!”

“If this happens, wouldn’t you be able to recover your pre-sleep cultivation very quickly?”

He Zhenghao, who had seemed to have a moment of enlightenment, grew more and more excited as he continued.

Li Fan slowly nodded, “It makes some sense!”

“However… There are so many people, and I can only use my divine technique a limited number of times. How can I help everyone?”

After thinking for a bit, Li Fan was still pondering over it.

At that moment, He Zhenghao had a sudden realization.

And blurted out, “We could gather the contribution points of those who want your help, and manage them collectively.”

“After you use your divine technique and find a suitable way to invest to earn contribution points, all will be repaid.”

Li Fan was quite pleased and thought to himself, “Good job, He Zhenghao, you’ve learned to think on your feet.”
