Chapter 484: Chapter 456: The Immortal Alliance Has a Giant Rat

Jiao Xiuyuan said excitedly, “You mean, even if someone tries to sell them Universal Leisure True Leaf at an outrageous price, in order to fulfill their promise, they will still have to hold their noses and buy them?”

“And if we secure most of the Universal Leisure True Leaf in the market beforehand, thereby forcing the other party…”

“Then we might easily make several times the profit!”

“Brilliant!” Realizing the implications, Jiao Xiuyuan slapped his thigh, exclaiming in admiration.

“Friend Jiao is indeed a genius when it comes to business!” Li Fan nodded in praise.

Ignoring Li Fan’s compliment, Jiao Xiuyuan’s face went through a series of changes as he committed himself to a deep thought.

The vigorous determination on his face faded, he shook his head and said, “Your idea is excellent, indeed, but it seems a bit too idealistic.”

“What if, when they borrowed the Universal Leisure True Leaf, the contract had a clause allowing them to repay with equivalent contribution points?”

“What if they would rather violate the agreement, than to repurchase the Universal Leisure True Leaf?”

“There are too many uncontrollable factors, the risks are too high.”

Li Fan said with some skepticism, “Is there a business in the world that comes without risks? Compared to the profits it can bring, I think it’s worth a try.”

Jiao Xiuyuan seemed pensive, he was about to respond but was interrupted by Li Fan’s words, “Moreover, I believe, even if those guys give up struggling with us and withdraw voluntarily, the massive quantity of Universal Leisure True Leaf we have purchased would give us profit.”

“Why do you say that?” Jiao Xiuyuan raised an eyebrow, asking disbelievingly.

A smile appeared on Li Fan’s lips, as he stretched out his index finger of the right hand.

Shortly after, a translucent dodecahedral dice appeared out of thin air above it.

As it spun rapidly, it reflected fragmented images.

After a moment of silence, Jiao Xiuyuan recognized the treasure in Li Fan’s hand and exclaimed, “Dice of the Heaven Earth Yin Yang?!”

Just as he was about to observe the images on the dice, Li Fan quickly put it away.

“According to my deductions, there is an eighty to ninety percent chance that this will work,” Li Fan stated seriously.

Jiao Xiuyuan studied Li Fan’s confident expression, and couldn’t help but become unsure himself.

“Allow me to investigate further,” Li Fan finished his sentence, and his puppet body, standing in front of Jiao Xiuyuan, went silent as if it had lost its controlling consciousness.

Li Fan didn’t rush but stood quietly on one side, patiently waiting.

This wait lasted a day and a night.

When life returned to Jiao Xiuyuan’s body, he opened his eyes revealing joy: “There’s hope!”

“Oh? What information did you obtain?” Li Fan asked with genuine interest.

Jiao Xiuyuan leaned in and lowered his voice: “According to reliable information, the price of Universal Leisure True Leaf is controlled by a group of God Transforming cultivators led by Dan Taixian from Heavenly Pivot Province.”

“They all have some sort of connection with the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance headquarters.”

“And the Wisdom Discerning True Charm used in various places are basically monopolized by them.”

“Dan Tai…” The uncommon surname reminded Li Fan of Dan Taitao, an Array Genius who was wrongly killed in his previous life.

“Could they belong to the same family?” Li Fan quietly speculated, but did not express this thought. Instead, he continued to listen.

Jiao Xiuyuan went on, “The reality is a little different from our speculations. Due to controlling the production line of Wisdom Discerning True Charm, these people have accumulated a large amount of Universal Leisure True Leaf.”

“The Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance collects a limited amount of Wisdom Discerning True Charm each year. The profit is too slow. Then, this group of people took to a crooked path.”

“Some of them used a portion of the Universal Leisure True Leaf they were holding as collateral to borrow a large amount of contribution points from the Qingfeng Hall.”

“Meanwhile, the rest borrowed Universal Leisure True Leaf from Qingfeng Hall.”

“As a result, Universal Leisure True Leaf returned back into their hands, and they profited an equivalent amount of contribution points from the divestment.”

Hearing this, Li Fan interrupted Jiao Xiuyuan: “As far as I know, the interest rate charged by Qingfeng Hall is not low, isn’t it? How much profit do they make doing this? And once the contribution points get into their hands, why would they make the extraneous effort to lend out the Universal Leisure True Leaf again?”

Jiao Xiuyuan grinned and said, “That is why I said that we have an opportunity.”

“Because all Universal Leisure True Leaf is, in actual name, the property of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance.”

“Since reaching Wisdom Discerning True Charm involves the secrets of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance, they must take control measures.”

“Dan Taixian and his compatriots have just been given the responsibility of manufacturing Wisdom Discerning True Charm because of their varied connections in the background.”

“Fee inspectors from the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance headquarters come after regular intervals.”

“Though they have inside connections and can get a heads up, they still have to carry out the routine inspections. At least on the surface, the accounts cannot be too imbalanced.”

Jiao Xiuyuan huffed lightly, showing a trace of disdain in his eyes, “Even though the profits from this business are already insanely high, they are still dissatisfied.”

“They blindly mortgage it to get enormous contribution points, using the leverages to create waves in the market.”

“As all these people have a strong background and are well informed, they haven’t encountered any obstacles and have made quite a profit. They are not even concerned about the interest rate of Qingfeng Hall.”

“Not to mention other things, just focus on Universal Leisure True Leaf, the entire stock of Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance is practically in their hands. Is it not easy for them to manipulate the price? To reap the profits off clueless cultivators is like taking a candy from a baby.”

Li Fan slowly nodded, getting a clear understanding of Dan Taixian and his associates’ actions.

Simply put, it was about embezzling the strategic materials of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance and exchanging them for contribution points.

And then, using insider information, they bought at low prices and sold high, making a profit from the difference, all for their personal gain.

“Such a huge crime. Friend Jiao has investigated this thoroughly, your abilities are truly reaching the sky!” Li Fan exclaimed.

Jiao Xiuyuan waved his hand, “It is just these people being arrogant and domineering! They don’t properly keep secrets, instead, they boast about their deeds in idle chatter. That’s how I got to know about it.”

“Otherwise, how could I have known about such confidential matters!”

Li Fan just smiled, he didn’t dwell into this matter. Instead, he started discussing with Jiao Xiuyuan about the feasibility of striking Dan Tai Radiant Group.

“In this way, my previous concerns are no longer a problem.”

“In any case, they must retrieve the Universal Leisure True Leaf. Even if they go bankrupt, they must do so.”

“Otherwise, once the scandal breaks out, even their backers won’t be able to protect them.”

“By then, it won’t just be a matter of bankruptcy. Meeting a violent end would be a blessing.”

Jiao Xiuyuan revealed a cold look, resolutely saying.

“Great!” Li Fan applauded, looking appreciative.

“The only issue is that we two are weak. We may not be a match for them.”

“If we can’t take them down in one hit and they become aware, I’m afraid our plan will fail.”

Jiao Xiuyuan suddenly said.
