Upon hearing that the target was only a mid-stage Energy Refining cultivator, Jiao Xiuyuan immediately relaxed.

He quickly ushered in a big commitment, saying: “Rest assured, just a small Energy Refining cultivator, I guarantee to investigate him thoroughly for you. But the price…”

Li Fan smiled: “Just a small Energy Refining cultivator, it shouldn’t be too expensive, right?”

Jiao Xiuyuan wished he could slap himself and hesitated to say: “In this line of operation, there are more or less risks. How about… you quote this much?”

He gestured the number eight with his hand.

“Forty contribution points, no more, ” Li Fan shook his head.

“Oh, you’re cutting the price too much! Sixty points are necessary, right? Otherwise, it’s a losing deal!” Jiao Xiuyuan cried out in heartache.

Li Fan turned and walked away.

“No, no!” Jiao Xiuyuan quickly stopped Li Fan.

“Fifty points, I really can’t go any lower.” His face twisted in apparent pain.

Only then did Li Fan stop his retreat.

“You first give a deposit of ten contribution points,” Jiao Xiuyuan handed over a communication talisman to Li Fan as he spoke. “Once there are results, I will notify you through this talisman.”

Li Fan took the talisman and in return handed over a medium grade spirit stone to Jiao Xiuyuan.

He didn’t rush to leave, instead he began looking at other items for sale in the room.

Jiao Xiuyuan saw the potential for a big deal today and became even more enthusiastic.

“What else would you like?”

“Do you have Techniques for sale? Preferably escape techniques, or something similar to an Invisible Talisman,” Li Fan asked.

Jiao Xiuyuan’s face suddenly froze.

“Ha, you must be joking with me, right? Perhaps you could look at other things. How about this Array Diagram? It is definitely the best of the best. Once deployed, it can trap a final stage Foundation Establishment cultivator for a day.”

“These Ice Swords are good too; they are suitable for sneak attacks….”

“Hey, don’t go!”

Coming out from the Thousand Miles Hall, Li Fan returned to Tianxuan Mirror.

He planned to cultivate “The Mystical Art of the Nether Spirit” up to the final stage of Energy Refining first.

Once the Blue Flame Spirit becomes completely stable, it can be used to combat enemies.

As the auxiliary cultivation mode started, Li Fan once again began his closed-door cultivation.

A month later, in the sea area of Yanjing Island on the eastern side of the

Misthaven Ocean.

In the deep sea, Li Fan condensed his breath, following a school of Crimson Flame Sharks.

There were more than ten Crimson Flame Sharks hunting a loner Dragon Whale.

The Dragon Whale was massive and ate deep-sea Yanjing all year round. Its skin was as tough as rock.

The Crimson Flame Sharks had sharp teeth, moved quickly, and coordinated seamlessly.

Although they couldn’t cause much damage to the Dragon Whale initially, they could gradually whittle down its vitality, like a dull knife cutting through meat.

The Dragon Whale attempted to break the blockade of the Crimson Flame Sharks several times, but all attempts were in vain.

Gradually, its resistance became weaker and weaker.

Watching this scene, Li Fan knew it was time.

The Blue Flame Spirit materialized.

It then transformed into a thin blue light and zipped rapidly between the more than ten Crimson Flame Sharks and the Dragon Whale in an instant.

After a brief moment, it returned to Li Fan’s sea of consciousness.

The Crimson Flame Sharks and the Dragon Whale suddenly halted their actions.

Soon after, a cold aura gushed from their bodies, freezing them from the inside out.

In an instant, several peculiar ice sculptures appeared on the seafloor.

Their expressions were as they were in life, even though they had already lost the vitality of life.

“The power of the Blue Flame Spirit is indeed exceptional.”

“These sea beasts are comparable to the Energy Refining Stage in terms of cultivation. With their thick hide and substantial flesh, they’re difficult to kill using conventional means. However, after using the Blue Flame Spirit to launch a spirit attack, they become like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, completely devoid of any resistance.” Li Fan nodded in satisfaction after testing the lethality of the spirit for the first time.

Not long ago, it took him more than twenty days to finally succeed in breaking through to the Final Stage of Energy Refining with “The Mystical Art of the Nether Spirit”

To test the power of the spirit, whilst earning some contribution points, he took on the task of “hunting the Crimson Flame Shark and extracting the beast core from its body”.

One beast core is worth 5 contribution points; he would total about sixty points. Plus, with the materials from the sharks, he would gain about eighty total contribution points from this trip.

Well, it’s better than nothing.

He used to gain contribution points in the thousands, and this small amount hardly stirred any excitement within Li Fan.

As Li Fan pondered this, he prepared to collect the beast core from the Crimson Flame Shark.

However, he suddenly felt an incredibly colossal figure approaching from deep under the sea floor.

Li Fan’s expression changed, and he quickly withdrew, not concerned about the beast core that was close at hand.

A gigantic sea beast, with a dark brown appearance and a fierce face, and a deformed bump on its forehead that was somewhat like a dragon but not, and somewhat like a fish but not, suddenly appeared from the shadows of the seabed.

With a wide-open mouth, it gulped down a dozen Crimson Flame Sharks along with the large shark in one bite!

With a swaying movement, the giant beast swam around in a circle and then headed in a certain direction.

Li Fan, who had narrowly avoided the huge beast, had no time to react and watched as his prey was stolen right before him.

How could he bear this?

Fury rose quickly in Li Fan.

But soon, the calming effects of the Xuan Huang Heart-Refining Spell helped him regain his cool.

Wait, wasn’t this giant beast the one that destroyed the Spirit Mist Grass Island?

As if he had remembered something, Li Fan suddenly froze.

When he accepted the task of hunting the Crimson Flame Shark, Li Fan also saw another bounty task.

Because this task was somewhat related to him, he examined it carefully.

As it turned out, those who speculated on Spirit Mist Grass had almost all suffered huge losses and gone bankrupt.

With resentment stirring in their hearts, they could not calm down to cultivate.

But they dared not seek trouble with True Lord Qingmu Hua or the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, so they vented their anger on the exotic beast that had destroyed the Spirit Mist Grass Island.

According to witnesses, the attacker was a dragon whale with cultivation nearly reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage,

The island was also guarded by a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

However, the dragon whale was so enormous that the guard’s attack hardly scratched it.

The dragon whale ignored the guard, broke through the Island Protection Array, wreaked havoc on the island, and ate most of the Spirit Mist Grass.

Only after this did the Golden Core Cultivator of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals arrive, belatedly.

And this Dragon Whale, despite receiving a hit from the Golden Core Stage Cultivator, didn’t die, but rather retreated back into the deep sea with severe injuries.

With the vast Cloud Sea, they couldn’t find the dragon whale they wanted to kill to vent their anger, despite searching for over a dozen days.

Out of desperation, they each contributed some of their remaining contribution points to jointly issue a bounty task.

Those who kill the dragon whale can earn two thousand contribution points.

Since even Foundation Establishment Cultivators were helpless against this dragon whale, Li Fan, a mere Energy Refining Stage cultivator, naturally didn’t accept the task.

However, now … free(w)ebnovel

The situation is different!
