Chapter 483: Chapter 455: Zhen Ye’s Hidden Manor
The price of the Universal Leisure True Leaf has always been stable.
It even witnessed the anomaly of a counter-trend drop once.
However, when Tianxuan Mirror had the final say in settling the turbulence, the Spirit Mist Grass influenced the downfall of most herb prices in the market.
Despite this, the price of the Universal Leisure True Leaf remained robust, and there were no particularly substantial fluctuations throughout.
“Universal Leisure True Leaf…
The Huadao Stone crystal in Li Fan’s spirit consciousness twinkled blue light as he began his search for more of its information.
Monts later, his expression turned slightly intrigued.
According to his mories afterward, once the Spirit Mist Grass incident adjourned, depleting reserves of herbs in the market due to extensive excavation and exploitation in the Five Elents Great Cave Heaven led to a substantial decline in the prices of all spiritual herbs.
However, Universal Leisure True Leaf was an exception.
In the coming decades, the price of Universal Leisure True Leaf continued to rise steadily.
However, it was too obscure, and not many cultivators paid attention to it.
Hence, Li Fan, who had made a fortune from speculating on the Spirit Mist Grass event and later spent most of his energy on constructing the Tianxuan Soul Locking Array, naturally overlooked it.
Now that the Spirit Mist Grass incident did not seem likely to happen, Li Fan needed to find a substitute and noticed the exceptional nature of Universal Leisure True Leaf.
“In my past life, after the widespread adoption of the Tianxuan Spirit Locking Array, I rember that the Wisdom Discerning True Charm was gradually phased out. However, its price has always remained high, which suggests that it might have other unknown utilities.”
“Various unusual signs suggest that there is likely soone manipulating this from behind the scenes.”
Li Fan carefully considered the feasibility of his two strategies of launching a raid on Spirit Mist Island to artificially inflate Spirit Mist Grass prices, and using Universal Leisure True Leaf as a replacent.
“Either way, the ultimate result is bound to trigger considerable turbulence. Tiantong Hall will inevitably intervene for an investigation.”
“Based on the final handling result in my previous life, operating within the free market, buying low and selling high is within acceptable rules.”
“However, if soone deliberately disrupts the market and disturbs the economy, it’s a different story. You might be charged with the cri of destabilizing the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.”
“Even if I have the Overpower Secret Technique, I may not be able to withstand the investigation.”
“…”
After careful consideration, Li Fan seed to have made a decision.
“But I still need to see if Universal Leisure True Leaf would actually work.”
Quick to act.
Li Fan dumped all of his acquired Spirit Mist Grass stocks regardless of the cost, and started buying Universal Leisure True Leaf instead.
In the Tianxuan Mirror, the price of Universal Leisure True Leaf was basically stable at 280 contribution points each.
Li Fan made a sweeping move worth a million contribution points.
Soon, the existing stocks in the market dropped at a visible speed.
Simultaneously, its price began to slowly rise.
It rose back to the normal price level, around 300 contribution points, wiping off the earlier dip.
Li Fan maintained his composure and continued to increase his purchasing power.
Another million contribution points were thrown in.
301, 302…
The price of Universal Leisure True Leaf was about to break through 305.
Just then, its price suddenly plumted markedly.
In an instant, it fell from over 300 to 292 contribution points.
“This situation indicates that soone dumped a large amount of Universal Leisure True Leaf into the market.”
“The Tianxuan Mirror judged the supply to be greater than the demand, hence the drastic price drop in a short ti.”
“Interesting.”
A gleam of light flashed in Li Fan’s eyes. He held back for now and began to analyze carefully.
“Controlling a large amount of Universal Leisure True Leaf but actively manipulating the price drop? Why is that?”
“Moreover, in my previous life, during the Spirit Mist Grass incident, when the price of spiritual plant herbs was generally increasing, soone could still manage to control the price of Universal Leisure True Leaf at a high level.”
“It’s almost certain that they have nearly ford a monopoly.”
“Secure victory, huh?”
It didn’t take long before Li Fan recalled a specific operation from his previous life and ca up with a vague possibility.
Suddenly, Li Fan stood up, exited Tianxuan Mirror, and headed straight for Thousand Miles Hall.
Outside, he heard a dissatisfied complaint from Jiao Xiuyuan, “Didn’t you say you wanted this Flying Star Disk? I finally dug it up, and now you’re not taking it?”
“Can’t people carry out businesses with integrity nowadays?”
Li Fan interrupted him with a smile, “Nobody wants it? I’ll take it!”
Upon hearing this, Jiao Xiuyuan, who was speaking to soone unknowingly, imdiately looked delighted.
He quickly responded, “Deal! Fifteen hundred contribution points, fixed price! No going back on your word!”
He promptly handed over a rusty bronze disk.
Li Fan scanned it, seeing nothing unusual.
However, trusting his past life experience, he paid and kept it carefully in the Storage Ring.
“Jiao Daoist Friend, never mind these trivial matters. I ca looking for you this ti for a major business!”
Li Fan said seriously.
At this point, Jiao Xiuyuan also recognized Li Fan.
Thinking he ca to inquire about the sales of the ‘Eye of Falsehood Breaking Stone,’ a slight embarrassnt appeared on Jiao Xiuyuan’s dark face.
“Ah! It’s Daoist Friend Li Fan! I’m really sorry, about that Falsehood Breaking Stone Eye, maybe…”
Li Fan interrupted him with a wave of his hand, pulled Jiao Xiuyuan closer, and said in a low voice, “Let’s not worry about that right now. Jiao Daoist Friend, what I said just now was serious.”
“If you miss this opportunity, I am afraid it will shatter your Dao heart and greatly damage your puppet!”
Seeing Li Fan’s alarming words, Jiao Xiuyuan’s expression changed imdiately.
Discarding the present smile, Jiao Xiuyuan looked at Li Fan seriously with a stern face, and closed the door to the Thousand Miles Hall.
“What are you talking about, Daoist Friend Li Fan?” he asked.
“The Universal Leisure True Leaf, do you know about this? Its recent price has been sowhat unusual. You’ll understand if you take a look,” Li Fan replied.
Upon hearing this, Jiao Xiuyuan closed his eyes and pondered.
Monts later, he furrowed his brows slightly.
At this ti, Li Fan told Jiao Xiuyuan about his recent exploration.
“What do you think, Daoist Friend?” Li Fan asked, the tone of his voice carrying a hint of testing.
Jiao Xiuyuan thought for a mont and said, “If my guess is correct, the person should have borrowed a certain amount of Universal Leisure True Leaf from sowhere.”
“And he might also have so extra stock at hand.”
“Therefore, he is trying to profit by temporarily lowering the price, pouring a large number of Universal Leisure True Leaf into the market, shirking so repaynts.”
Jiao Xiuyuan gave his judgent.
Li Fan clapped his hands, “Great minds think alike, that’s what I also think.”
Jiao Xiuyuan frowned slightly and seed a bit dissatisfied, “Is that your grand business? I can’t see it.”
Li Fan gave a mysterious smile.
“Let’s say, I an, hypothetically.”
“What would happen when the person has to return the Universal Leisure True Leaf, but the total circulated amount in the market isn’t sufficient for him to do so?”
Jiao Xiuyuan didn’t imdiately understand the aning of Li Fan’s words.
He was stunned for a mont.
A mont later, a gleam of understanding flashed in his eyes.
