Chapter 510: 482

Sikong Yi looked at Han Wuyou skeptically, suspicion written all over his face: “I have heard of He Zhenghao. He is a prominent figure in the Misthaven Ocean now. You are merely an energy refining cultivator, how could you possibly have connections with him?”

Han Wuyou stroked his goatee, appearing quite smug: “My methods are far beyond what you can imagine. The specifics of how I do it are not suitable to be disclosed. However, you do not need to doubt their authenticity.”

Seeing the distrustful looks on Baili Chen and Sikong Yi’s faces, Han Wuyou scoffed: “Well, I knew you wouldn’t believe it easily.”

With that, he tossed over a Communication Talisman: “This is Senior He Zhenghao’s Communication Talisman. Try it out for yourselves, and you’ll know if I am bluffing.”

Sikong Yi accepted the talisman with a serious expression and probed it slightly.

Sure enough, it displayed He Zhenghao’s likeness.

He tried sending a greeting. Regrettably, it seemed that Senior He Zhenghao was currently busy, as he received only a symbolic automated reply.

Even so, this did indeed confirm that Han Wuyou was not lying.

Han Wuyou took back the Communication Talisman, continuing to tempt them: “The one hundred thousand contributing points you have will go to waste in your hands. After one year, how much will be left? What about after two or three years?”

“However, if the points are invested by Master Li Fan through Senior He Zhenghao, it would be a completely different story. Perhaps you are not aware, the contributing points that are invested through Master Li Fan generate at least a fifty percent profit every year.”

Upon hearing this, Sikong Yi’s breath hitched.

Baili Chen gasped aloud: “An annual return of fifty percent? How is that possible!”

He rapidly calculated in his mind: “Even if I don’t do anything for a year, I would still earn a minimum fifty thousand points.”

“If the profits are continuously invested by Master Li, in only six years, the one hundred thousand contribution points would turn into a million points…”

“Hiss…”

One million contribution points.

Just thinking about this staggering number made Sikong Yi feel somewhat dizzy.

He used to think that a hundred thousand contribution points would be the ultimate goal for his whole life. Who would have guessed that he might one day be able to control assets amounting to a million points?

Once the seed of desire sprouted, it became impossible to suppress.

Although logic told him that such an astronomical growth curve was extremely unreasonable.

But the various exploits spread throughout the Immortal Cultivation World about Li Fan were not false.

Sikong Yi aspired to reach a level that was currently beyond his reach, perhaps such an unbelievable divine technique really exists?

Sikong Yi’s heart fluttered.

Observing the look on Sikong Yi’s face, Han Wuyou knew that he had succeeded.

“Fellow Daoist Han, let’s take this discussion inside.” Sikong Yi invited Han Wuyou into his Cave Mansion, inquiring in detail about investment matters.

As Han Wuyou continued to talk, Sikong Yi’s heart surged with excitement, he regretted not knowing Han Wuyou earlier, having missed out on many opportunities to make a fortune.

“Although I am eager to hand over the hundred thousand contribution points for Master Li to invest immediately, it’s still up in the air.”

After a little daydreaming, Baili Chen sighed slightly: “The ruins of the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters which have been sealed for thousands of years are bound to be extremely dangerous. I cannot guarantee that I will be able to obtain the Scroll of Mistwaters successfully.”

“Moreover…”

After hesitating for a while, Baili Chen decided it was better to tell Han Wuyou the truth: “I am afraid there may still be a descendant of the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters in the world!”

Han Wuyou’s complexion changed slightly when he heard this: “Is this true?”

And so, Baili Chen recounted what he had sensed when he was practicing “The Godly Sword of Calming Seas”.

Han Wuyou pondered for a moment before slowly saying: “From my point of view, the other party may not necessarily be a descendant of the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters. It is highly possible that they accidentally obtained this technique from some ruins.”

Baili Chen gave a wry smile: “Even if that’s the case, we cannot verify it. I won’t lie to you Han Wuyou, I dare not even approach the island where all this happened.”

Han Wuyou paced back and forth, seemingly mulling over something.

After a long while, he spoke up: “If you trust me, you can indicate the location of the island. I will sort this matter out for you!”

“However, if the task is accomplished, I want forty percent of the hundred thousand contribution points!”

Sikong Yi and Baili Chen simultaneously looked up, staring intently at Han Wuyou.

After a while, Baili Chen said in a deep voice: “If you can truly deal with the cultivator practicing the Godly Sword of Calming Seas, then giving you forty percent is not a problem!”

“Good!”

After that, Sikong Yi took Han Wuyou to the vicinity of the Bodhisattva Island.

“What do you think?”

“There is indeed a dangerous aura concealed on the island.” Han Wuyou observed for a moment from a distance before frowning.

“But…” Han Wuyou changed his tone, declaring: “It’s not an issue!”

Sikong Yi was somewhat surprised.

But he heard Han Wuyou coldly say: “In the Immortal Cultivation World today, a cultivator’s life is perhaps not as precious as imagined.”

“For now, return to your Cave Mansion and wait for my good news!” With that, Han Wuyou cupped his hands before drifting off into the distance.

Sikong Yi watched his retreating figure, a myriad of emotions crossing his face.

Instead of returning to his Cave Mansion, he hid near the island, going into hiding.

Three days later, a fast-moving shadow headed straight for the island from a distance.

At the same time, a cultivator also flew out from the island.

After a standoff, they began to fight.

The intimidating scene startled Sikong Yi, who was watching in secret.

“Han Wuyou truly does have some tricks up his sleeve. Judging by the power and commotion, it’s at least a Nascent Soul Monk in action!” Sikong Yi was suddenly extremely excited.

After watching for a while, Sikong Yi was afraid of being discovered by the fighting powers, leading to unintended involvement.

He quietly left, returning to his own Cave Mansion.

Two days later, Han Wuyou revisited.

“Fellow Daoist Baili, you can try practicing “The Godly Sword of Calming Seas” again!” Han Wuyou declared confidently.

“Asking Senior to assist me this time wasn’t easy. When we visit the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters, please don’t let me down!” Han Wuyou said ominously.

Upon hearing this, Baili Chen, although elated, immediately attempted to practice again.

The cultivation transformed by the “Supreme Primordial Scripture” was still stored in his Dantian. In less than a day, he successfully restored the realm he had before he lost his cultivation.

After probing, he found that the cultivator who had been practicing the same technique had disappeared!

“Fellow Daoist Han indeed has incredible methods!” Sikong Yi was overjoyed, immediately having a few more points of confidence in Han Wuyou.

Han Wuyou stroked his goatee proudly, saying: “In the current Immortal Cultivation World, relying purely on courage is useless. You need background and connections!”

Sikong Yi nodded constantly in agreement.

The three of them discussed the details of the operation at length, and when everything was ready, the day the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters opened was closer than ever.

So they set off together, heading to the center of the Misthaven Ocean.

At this point, many cultivators who had come to watch the spectacle had already gathered outside the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters.
