My Simulated Road to Immortality-Chapter 204 - 190: The Banker Enters the Game

Chapter 204: Chapter 190: The Banker Enters the Game

Translator: 549690339

In the twelfth lifetime, only a handful of people, including He Zhenghao, were initially aware of the destruction of the Spirit Mist Grass Island, and prepared to speculate on that basis.”

From beginning to end, the impact of the Spirit Mist Grass saga was only confined to a few states.

But in this lifetime, when the proprietor changed from True Lord Qingmu to Jiao Xiuyuan, who, despite unknown cultivation qualifications, spanned across the entire Immortal Cultivation World, the situation underwent a tremendous change.

Countless puppets acted as propaganda machines.

Through various means, the news of the destruction of Spirit Mist Island quietly spread throughout the Xuan Huang World in half a day.

Even if only one percent of the cultivators who heard this news had speculative ideas, and only one percent of those cultivators eventually put their ideas into action.

That would still be a really large number.

Furthermore, in the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, where it’s usually difficult to accumulate merit points, this “obvious” chance to make a huge profit was something very few cultivators would like to miss.”

Therefore, the actual number of cultivators participating in speculating on Spirit Mist Grass far exceeded this number.

Although most cultivators weren’t rich, they could afford to buy one or two stalks of Spirit Mist Grass.

With the mindset that every little bit counts, countless cultivators rushed back into the Tian Xuan Mirror as quickly as possible, scrambling to buy Spirit Mist Grass.

Thus, half a day after He Zhenghao sent a message to Li Fan,

The price of Spirit Mist Grass rose from 22 contribution points per stalk to 35 points.

Which was 10 points higher than the peak price of 25 points in Li Fan’s twelfth lifetime.

And, the upward trend showed no signs of ending.

He Zhenghao’s excited voice kept coming.

“Haha, Brother Li Fan, I wasn’t wrong, was I? The price of Spirit Mist Grass will definitely rise more!”

“It has risen by fifty percent in half a day, I have got back all my previous losses in one go!”

“Remember, don’t sell the Spirit Mist Grass in your hands now. You are not aware that the news of a sharp decrease in the production of Spirit Mist Grass is now widespread. Many cultivators are joining the buying line.”

“All of us are of the opinion that it’s not time to sell yet. At the very least, it’s going to rise by another fifty percent!” “Hahaha, my Nascent Soul Cultivation Technique now has hope!” He Zhenghao was extremely excited.

Li Fan responded perfunctorily, showering praise on him a few times.

However, his attention was focused on his clone.

“Brother Jiao, looking at the current price, it has risen quite a lot, can’t we start cashing out now?” Seeing the steady rise in numbers in the Small Tian Xuan Mirror before him, Li Fan tentatively asked.

Jiao Xiuyuan’s face didn’t have the exhilaration he expected.

He closed his eyes and sensed for a moment, then shook his head, “No, it’s not time yet.”

“There are still bigger variables that have not yet arrived, just wait patiently.”

“Bigger variables?” Li Fan paced back and forth in Thousand Miles Hall, pondering continuously.

“As per common sense, the price of Spirit Mist Grass has already risen to a high level, I wonder what this so-called variable is?”

However, Li Fan knew that with the presence of the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven, no matter how high the price of Spirit Mist Grass would rise, the end-game will be that it will fall to the dust.

Even if he doesn’t manage to cash out in time, he would only lose a maximum of ten thousand contribution points.

He could easily earn it back, so he was not worried and waited calmly for the development.

Like Li Fan, who decided to wait and see, many others did the same.

For example, True Lord Qingmu Hua.

He had nearly ten thousand stalks of Spirit Mist Grass planted in his own domain.

A few days ago, he accidentally heard that the Alliance headquarters had found a super-sized Wood Attribute Cave Heaven containing countless spiritual plants and herbs.

The price of Spirit Mist Grass would probably plummet afterwards.

Thus, he began to methodically sell off the Spirit Mist Grass in his hands. Even though he was selling at a slower rate, trying to suppress the fluctuations of Spirit Mist Grass prices within the usual range.

Yet, the price of Spirit Mist Grass was still falling uncontrollably, dropping from a high point area of 21 points down to a historic low of 18 points.

True Lord Qingmu Hua quickly realized that he wasn’t the only one aware of this news.

However, for their own benefit, everyone tactfully chose to sell slowly, so as not to make the price crash abruptly.

Just as Town Lord Qingmu had sold more than half of the ten thousand stalks of Spirit Mist Grass, he suddenly noticed that the price of Spirit Mist Grass not only stopped falling but also began to rebound drastically.

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

When things go against the norm, there is a demon at work.

Qingmu immediately activated his contacts to find out the possible cause.

The Spirit Mist Island was destroyed, and the Spirit Mist Grass planted on the island was destroyed all at once.

The sharp-witted Qingmu immediately sensed that this was a rare opportunity.

So he decisively switched from selling to buying, and bought back all the Spirit Mist Grass he had previously sold.

Although he lost a lot in this process going back and forth, soon the price of Spirit Mist Grass began a new round of soaring.

It enabled him to turn his losses into profits in one fell swoop.

The fierceness of this price surge made Qingmu feel both surprised and apprehensive.

As a cultivator dedicated to growing various spiritual plants, Qingmu knew more about Spirit Mist Grass than most cultivators in the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.

The price of 35 points clearly exceeded its inherent value.

Not to mention the existence of that Wood Attribute Cave Heaven, the Spirit Mist Grass is bound to fall in the end.

However, a firm determination to cash out was made by Qingmu, who held more than ten thousand stalks of Spirit Mist Grass.

Watching the price of Spirit Mist Grass rising as if there was no end, he hesitated.

“Should I…wait and see?”

“This price surge is clearly abnormal, and there are traces of many people behind the scenes fueling the fire.”

“Perhaps, it will rise a bit more?”

Once the idea took hold, he couldn’t let go of it.

After all, for Qingmu, for every point the price of Spirit Mist Grass rises, he can earn ten thousand more contribution points.

Even for a Nascent Soul True Monarch, ten thousand plus points of contribution are not easy to obtain.

Every day, in order to take care of these Spirit Mist Grass plants, he spent a lot of efforts.

He worked himself to the bone, and could only earn a few tens of thousands points of hard-earned money.

But now, in the blink of an eye, he obtained it all easily.

The young True Monarch Qingmu did not yet understand the saying that unrealised gains are not actual gains.

As he saw the value of his wealth increase crazily on paper, True Monarch Qingmu got lost.

He decided to wait until the price of Spirit Mist Grass rises a bit more before he sells the Spirit Mist Grass in his hands.

“With the news of the discovery of that Wood Attribute Cave Heaven becoming public, the price of spiritual plants will definitely become lower and lower in the future. ”

“It will also become more difficult for me to earn contribution points.”

“This is a rare opportunity, I must seize it now to make a final haul, or I will surely regret it later.”

Seeing the price continuing to rise, True Lord Qingmu’s eyes turned red.

He easily convinced himself..
