"Don't worry about the amount of contribution points. Just choose the rare treasures and techniques you like."
Although Li Fan said he wanted to carefully consider, he still instructed a hesitant Su Xiaomei and Xiao Heng in this way.
They breathed a sigh of relief. After half a day, they finally selected what they needed from the vast list of items in the Tianxuan Mirror.
Su Xiaomei chose the Foundation Building rare treasure, "Fierce Flame Feather," a high-grade human-tier item worth 6000 contribution points. For the technique, she selected the advanced replacement of the "Heart Anger Flame Art," called the "Heart Wrath Flame Art," also worth 6000 contribution points.
Xiao Heng chose the Foundation Building rare treasure, "Cloud-Walking Monument," a high-grade human-tier item worth 5500 contribution points. For the technique, he chose the "Spring Wind Rain Transformation Art," worth 5500 contribution points.
After the two made their selections, they obediently approached Li Fan, eagerly waiting for him to settle the bill.
A total of 23,000 contribution points.
Even with Li Fan having more than 90,000 contribution points, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
It wasn't that He Zhenghao had a small vision; he simply couldn't afford it.
Investing in a Foundation Building cultivator required at least 10,000 contribution points.
Li Fan remembered that the rewards for guarding the islands in the Congyun Sea were only a few hundred to over two thousand contribution points per year.
Even with some additional income, it would take at least two to three years to accumulate this amount.
To give away such a large sum after years of hard work...
Who could bear it?
"It seems that this 'Sit-and-Wait Technique' is not something ordinary people can cultivate." Li Fan sighed and bought the four items.
In the blink of an eye, 90,000 contribution points were reduced to 67,000, plus the previous 1,100 points.
Li Fan now had a total of 68,100 contribution points.
"You can build your foundations here, and I will protect you." Handing the items to the two, Li Fan instructed.
The two were overjoyed and agreed immediately.
They trusted Li Fan completely, and Su Xiaomei and Xiao Heng began their Foundation Building cultivation in this room.
As Li Fan locked onto their auras, he once again used the opportunity to comprehend the process of Foundation Building.
Even though this world had completed Foundation Building, Li Fan's ultimate goal was not just to use the unique treasure, the Canghai Pearl, to achieve the Foundation Building stage. Therefore, gaining insights into Foundation Building was beneficial for Li Fan.
The talents of these two were truly extraordinary.
Just one day later, a phantom of a firebird formed in Su Xiaomei's dantian, and she successfully advanced to the Foundation Building stage.
At the same time, Li Fan also felt a surge of pure cultivation base within himself.
And it wasn't a one-time occurrence; it continued to increase like a murmuring stream, steadily rising.
However, the rate of increase became very small, almost negligible.
After the breakthrough, Su Xiaomei was excited, but she knew her limits and didn't shout.
She obediently stood by Li Fan's side, waiting for Xiao Heng to complete his Foundation Building.
Half a day later, a blue cloud took shape, and Xiao Heng officially entered the Foundation Building stage.
However, the cultivation feedback from the "Sit-and-Wait Technique" transmitted to Li Fan was only one-fifth of Su Xiaomei's.
The subsequent increase in cultivation was even more negligible, almost nonexistent.
After the breakthrough, Xiao Heng showed joy on his face.
But immediately, he calmed down, bowed to Li Fan, and expressed his gratitude.
Li Fan nodded and accepted it calmly. Then, he brought the two to meet Su Changyu and the others.
Su Changyu and the Yin sisters were genuinely delighted to see the two break through to the Foundation Building stage, offering their congratulations.
Zhao Erbao, on the other hand, widened his eyes and glanced back and forth between the two and Li Fan, filled with disbelief.
After a lively celebration, Li Fan instructed, "The place where we currently reside is too simple. From now on, work together to open up and build a true cave mansion in Mingyue Lake. This will be used for everyone's cultivation in the future."
"I will give you, Xiao Heng, 5,000 contribution points, and you can purchase the necessary materials from the Tianxuan Mirror."
"I have some matters to attend to and hope that when I return, I will see the completed cave mansion."
"The stone chamber at the bottom of the lake, and another person, is my good friend. If there is anything you can't solve, you can consult him."
Everyone energetically accepted the orders.
After transferring the 5,000 contribution points to Xiao Heng, Li Fan spent another twenty days returning to the Source Dao City.
Entering the Tianxuan Mirror, he spent 10,000 contribution points to activate the auxiliary cultivation mode.
He immersed himself in cultivating the "Sit-and-Wait Decision."
Time passed quickly, and a hundred days went by.
In the blink of an eye, it arrived at the twenty-ninth year of anchoring.
Li Fan woke up from seclusion, checking the increase in his cultivation.
The results surprised Li Fan.
Because the increase in cultivation over these hundred days was only twice the amount Su Xiaomei gained when she broke through.
"No, it should be less than twice. In these hundred days, Su Xiaomei and Xiao Heng's strength must have increased. So the increase in my cultivation, in addition to my own practice, also includes a small portion of feedback from the 'Sit-and-Wait Decision.'"
"It can be foreseen that as Su Xiaomei's realm continues to improve, the feedback of cultivation will continue to flow. It should only come to a halt when they reach the complete Foundation Building stage."
"I can draw a preliminary conclusion. With the same amount of contribution points, the total increase in cultivation obtained through feedback is far beyond what I would gain from my own cultivation. But this process is very lengthy. Investing in an ordinary person with mediocre talent may take nearly a hundred years to enjoy the complete benefits."
"However, investing in extraordinary talents can significantly shorten this process."
"But regardless, teaching the 'Sit-and-Wait Decision' is a stable and profitable endeavor."
"From this perspective, the fastest way to cultivate with enough contribution points is to cultivate on my own in the Tianxuan Mirror, and at the same time, pass down techniques and use the 'Sit-and-Wait for Success.'"
"Unfortunately, the consumption of contribution points is too significant. Even with 200,000 contribution points, it wouldn't last long. It's not a long-term solution."
"To maximize the benefits of contribution points, I should refrain from using the Tianxuan Mirror for my own cultivation. Instead, invest all contribution points in cultivating talents and rely on the 'Sit-and-Wait for Success' to gain increased cultivation and advance in realms."
"Unfortunately, extraordinary talents are rare. In my two lifetimes, I've only encountered two or three such individuals."
"The cultivation speed is certainly not as fast as using the Awakening to cultivate."
Li Fan paused for a
moment, thinking about Xiao Heng's situation.
"Paid transmission of techniques can also yield cultivation feedback. And if I can ensure the safe recovery of contribution points, isn't that equivalent to risk-free profits?"
"If I charge a little more..."
"I'm sure there are many cultivators facing bottlenecks and urgently needing to break through. They would be willing to pay a small and insignificant price to obtain techniques or rare treasures in advance."
"I have the 'No-Phantom Killing Array,' so I'm not afraid of these cultivators escaping. Su Xiaomei and Xiao Heng are my two major protectors, and if there are delays in repayment, they can handle it without my direct intervention."
"If I encounter a true genius, I can provide it for free..."
"Good! Great!"
The more Li Fan thought about it, the more excited he became, unable to help but blurt out.
"The 'Sit-and-Wait Decision' is truly an excellent technique!"
"Why would you, fellow Daoist, not use such a divine technique? What a waste of a precious treasure!"
