"An average of ten thousand contribution points for each cultivator borrowing methods."
"Now, our Bright Moon Palace has successfully guided seven cultivators."
"Most of them have chosen to repay in three years, and according to the annual interest rate of thirty-six percent, they need to repay about five hundred and seventy points each month."
"For these seven cultivators, the total contribution points received are over four thousand."
"Every three months, we can guide one more cultivator."
"With the continuous expansion of our business, this speed will only get faster..."
In the Bright Moon Palace, Yin Yuzhen estimated the income from the business of guiding cultivators, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
"But it can't be calculated this way. In the future, as the number of cultivators borrowing methods increases, there will inevitably be one or two who refuse to repay honestly. Each one of them will bring significant losses."
"Even so, the expansion speed of our Bright Moon Palace is still astonishing."
Yin Yuting also marveled, "Sister Yin, don't underestimate the power of Sister Su and Brother Xiaoheng. Haven't you seen how eagerly Sister Su goes out to collect debts every time, and how satisfied she looks when she comes back?"
"The Moon Symbols and Intimidation Symbols are also extremely useful. Without these two magical items, the difficulty of collecting debts would be greatly increased." Yin Yuting nodded.
"Of course, Junior Sister Yin is right. With Senior's intervention, it is naturally extraordinary. The eight characters 'Compassionately Guiding Cultivation, Saving the Suffering and Distressed' that Senior wrote by hand in the past have now deeply penetrated the hearts of Qi Refining cultivators." Yin Yuzhen said with excitement.
...
In the underground seclusion of the Bright Moon Palace.
Li Fan, who was greatly admired by the two sisters, at this moment, showed no sign of a superior demeanor.
He had just awakened from his comprehension of formations, checking the growth of his cultivation base, and a pleasant surprise appeared on his face.
"On average, guiding one Foundation Building cultivator brings immediate feedback of about seven months of cultivation. These days, I haven't practiced at all, but I've gained forty-nine months of cultivation. It's almost like four years of continuous hard cultivation!"
"Moreover, as the cultivation of the cultivators borrowing methods continues to improve, I can still receive continuous feedback."
"Although it's just a small stream, with the quantity, it can form an ocean!"
"It's foreseeable that when the scale of the Bright Moon Palace's guidance business expands in the future, my cultivation speed will become even faster."
"Reaping the benefits without any effort!"
"Great!"
For a moment, Li Fan was ecstatic.
However, immediately after, he frowned.
When in the Foundation Building stage, the limit for the lock-on targets of the No-Phantom Killing Machine was five people.
When he reached the Foundation Building stage, Li Fan had tested it.
The limit increased to fifteen people.
Although it had tripled, it was still far from enough.
I wonder if there's a way to increase it. The limit on the lock-on targets of the No-Phantom Killing Machine should be related to the strength of the divine sense.
There must be a method to increase divine sense strength, but it would certainly come at a high cost.
Li Fan began searching for information in the Heaven Mystery Mirror.
After excluding the methods that were currently impractical, he quickly found the most suitable method for his current situation.
"The Shocking Spirit Array, Heart Ape Bones..."
Li Fan looked at the silver fragrance emitting a faint fragrance, lost in thought.
"So, this fragrance that can dispel mental fatigue is made from grinding Heart Ape Bones and mixing them with other materials."
The so-called Heart Ape does not refer to some rare and exotic beast but refers to a cultivator who has lost his mind.
It is said that in certain regions, incidents would occasionally occur where a large number of cultivators were inexplicably bewitched, losing control of their minds and becoming killing machines.
After being killed by others, their corpses would transform into the appearance of white apes.
That was the so-called Heart Ape.
Every part of the Heart Ape was precious, especially the bones, which had the effect of enhancing and replenishing divine sense consumption.
As for the Shocking Spirit Array, it was a formation that, depending on the materials used for the array, would exhibit different effects.
For example, if the array was set up using spirit jade with gathering properties, the Shocking Spirit Array would amplify the property of "gathering," resulting in a stronger gathering effect.
Similarly, setting up an array with Heart Ape Bones that enhanced divine sense would create the "Heart Ape Shocking Spirit Array," which would have several times the effect of enhancing divine sense.
The Shocking Spirit Array was powerful, but the downside was that as the materials for the array were consumed, the effectiveness of the formation would gradually weaken.
Constant replenishment of the array materials was necessary to maintain normal operation.
"Roughly estimating, setting up a 'Heart Ape Shocking Spirit Array' will cost around twenty thousand contribution points. And it will require continuous replenishment of Heart Ape Bones..."
"I can only try the effect first..."
Li Fan, who could be considered rich, spent around twenty thousand contribution points on the spot, buying a sufficient quantity of Heart Ape Bones and starting to set up the Shocking Spirit Array.
The Shocking Spirit Array was essentially an amplifying formation, not particularly complex. However, it still took Li Fan nearly half a month to set it up.
"Indeed, the gap between theory and practice is still quite significant. Although my theoretical level of formation is already beyond the novice stage, my actual formation level is still only at the apprentice level."
Li Fan sighed, activated the Heart Ape Shocking Spirit Array, and carefully felt the amplification effect.
Gradually feeling the increase in the strength of the formation, Li Fan realized that his divine sense intensity had increased by about five times.
"In other words, the limit on the lock-on targets of the No-Phantom Killing Machine has probably increased to around seventy-five."
"Although it's a bit far from my expected goal, it's enough for now."
"After breaking through to the middle stage of Foundation Building, the intensity of divine sense will increase again. If necessary, I can continue to expand the scale of the Heart Ape Shocking Spirit Array. However, the benefits may not necessarily outweigh the costs..."
Temporarily resolving the hidden worries about the guidance business, Li Fan continued to invest in the study of formations.
However, Li Fan, who was in the Heart Ape Shocking Spirit Array, unexpectedly discovered that perhaps due to the increased strength of his divine sense, both his main body and clone had an improved learning efficiency.
This was an unexpected joy.
Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, it came to the anchored year 41.
On this day, the focused Li Fan was awakened by the call of a communication talisman.
"What's this?"
He was momentarily stunned, then realized it was a communication talisman from Kou Hong and Dao Xuanzi.
The voices of Kou Hong and Dao Xuanzi came through the activated talisman.
"Brother Li Fan, how have you been recently?"
"Just immersed in closed-door cultivation, not good or bad." Li Fan smiled and replied.
"Hahaha
, these years, Dao Xuanzi and I have made some progress..."
Kou Hong was speaking, but it seemed like he was interrupted.
Changing the subject, he said, "Cough, let's talk about business. Brother Li Fan, Dao Xuanzi and I are planning to go to Cangwu Prefecture in search of opportunities. Are you willing to join us?"
"Cangwu Prefecture?" Li Fan had some impression, seeming to be in the far southwest of the continent, extremely far from Yuandao Prefecture.
I wonder what those two are doing there?
Li Fan immediately voiced his doubts.
Surprisingly, Kou Hong's voice, full of surprise, came over, "What? Brother Li Fan, don't you know?"
"This matter has already been widely spread."
"Do you remember, twenty-six years ago, that meteor that illuminated the sky?"
Li Fan squinted his eyes, immediately recalling.
He had heard about this incident while gathering information.
It was fifteen years after anchoring.
A meteor streaked across the night sky, its destination unknown.
All the cultivators who saw this meteor felt an inexplicable sense of fear and sorrow.
"Since that day, cultivators have been trying to find the landing place of the meteor, but to no avail."
"Fortunately, everyone persevered. After twenty-six years, its trace was finally discovered."
"Good heavens, do you know where that meteor fell? The Abyss of Cangwu!"
"That eerie place, deep and bottomless. No wonder no one has found it for so many years."
"It is said that a great opportunity is related to this meteor. Therefore, cultivators from all over the world want to go to the Abyss of Cangwu to try their luck."
"What if someone encounters that meteor by chance?"
"Both of us also think this way. Haha, Dao Xuanzi and I have been lucky lately, so we plan to go and try our luck."
