Upon hearing Li Fan’s words, He Zhenghao was momentarily stunned, his face betraying a hint of confusion.

However, Li Fan did not give him a chance to respond or contemplate his words. In an instant, he activated [Real]’s simulation of the [Heart of Sevenfold Subtlety], maximizing its captivating influence.

“In your opinion, how’s my talent, since I’m already at the Final Stage of Foundation Establishment at the age of twenty-nine?” Li Fan stared at He Zhenghao as he asked, intensity burning in his gaze.

“You’re an extraordinary talent, indeed rare in our times,” He Zhenghao couldn’t help but reply.

“As for me, my initial test of my abilities resulted in a whopping profit of

600,000 contribution points from my investment in the Spirit Mist Grass. While others went bankrupt, I became wealthy. What do you think about my capabilities?” Li Fan questioned further.

It seemed Li Fan had touched a nerve with that comment, He Zhenghao shot him a resentful glance before finally replying, “You have sharp foresight and keen intuition. I’m far from comparison!”

Li Fan continued, “In this Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, common cultivators are treated like cattle and horses. Without any power or influence, it’s as difficult as reaching the heavens for them to stand out. Don’t you agree?”

He Zhenghao nodded, “You’re quite right.”

Capitalize on the moment, Li Fan gave He Zhenghao’s shoulder a pat, speaking earnestly, “That’s exactly why, we have to stick together to keep warm.”

Although He Zhenghao agreed with what Li Fan said, he barely had time to think about it when Li Fan asked sympathetically, “You’ve been a member of the Immortal Alliance for quite some years now, haven’t you?”

He Zhenghao thought for a moment, his face wearing a reminiscent expression, “Indeed, it’s been around a hundred years or so.”

Upon hearing this, Li Fan shook his head, “A hundred years and yet, only at the Mid Stage of Foundation Establishment. I’ve heard you mention that you have some influence on the Ten Thousand Immortals Island. But, your painstakingly nurtured connections, how useful have they been for your cultivation? I’m afraid…almost negligible, right?”

He Zhenghao was about to retort when his mouth opened but no words came out.

Because, what Li Fan said was quite true.

“The reason is simple, you’ve been dealing with relationships of little use. As long as you’re valuable, they’ll treat you with smiles and politeness. But suppose one day you lose all your cultivation, how would they treat you then? Would they even look at you? Not to mention their relationship with you is merely superficial. If it involves their own interest, ha…” Li Fan continued to persuade cleverly.

He Zhenghao fell deep into thought.

“To put it simply, you haven’t found the right one to rely on; you’ve been following the wrong crowd!”

“But if you follow after me, that’s a different story entirely.”

“I, for one, greatly value brotherhood. I follow the principle of sharing both blessings and difficulties,” Li Fan stated in a righteous manner, speaking non-stop.

“Take for example the Nascent Soul Cultivation Technique that you yearn for but can’t get…” Li Fan paused here, successfully attracting all of He Zhenghao’s attention.

“If you faithfully follow behind me and help with my affairs, I can lend you the 250,000 contribution points to exchange for that Technique to cultivate. That’s not impossible!” Li Fan declared firmly.

Upon hearing this, He Zhenhao, as if stuck by lightning, began trembling uncontrollably all over, completely losing his composure, “Do you really mean that?”

“Ha-ha, a promise from Li Fan is as solid as gold, I always keep my word!”

“If I’m not mistaken, doesn’t this Nascent Soul Cultivation Technique that you’ve been yearning for actually have quite a high compatibility with your Foundation Establishment Strange Object?”

He Zhenghao nodded emphatically, “Yes, the technique is called ‘The Hidden Dragon Technique of Mountains and Rivers’. If I manage to switch to this technique for cultivation, it’s definitely certain that I can reach the Golden Core Realm within fifty years, and even breaking through to the Nascent Soul

Realm is highly likely.”

Saying this, he peeked at Li Fan hesitantly, yearning to speak yet holding back.

“If you managed to accumulate 250,000 contribution points on your own again, it would probably take a long time, right? If you could exchange for the Cultivation Technique earlier and make a breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm years sooner, your future accomplishments would probably be completely different!”

Longing loomed even more brightly in He Zhenghao’s eyes.

After a while, after giving it some thought, He Zhenghao finally said, “If you would lend me the contribution points, I will certainly regard your decisions with the utmost respect hereafter.”

Upon hearing this, Li Fan flashed a knowing smile, took a gilded foil paper from his storage ring, and rapidly wrote several lines of characters on it as if he was writing with his hand as the pen.

And then, with a smile, he passed it to He Zhenghao, “Let’s put it in black and white. If you agree, just sign on this [Business Pact Scroll]!”

This gold [Business Pact Scroll] turned out to be the same kind used previously by his alter ego and Jiao Xiuyuan.

Allegedly, it was propagated from the Five Elders Organization and was a simplified version of the Five Elder’s [God Soul Pact].

Once signed by both parties, they would be bound by the power of the contract and consequently act according to the terms mutually agreed upon in the contract.

He Zhenghao then started to read the clauses in the contract carefully.

“Cultivator Li Fan agrees to loan 250,000 contribution points to Cultivator He

Zhenghao at an annual interest rate of 1%.”

“Both parties agree to pay off the loan within fifty years.”

“Meanwhile, He Zhenghao and Li Fan agree to form an interest alliance centered around Li Fan. Provided it causes no major harm to his own interests, He Zhenghao will fully consider Li Fan’s requests and opinions.”

“Li Fan, in turn, will decide to waive the interest for the year based on He Zhenghao’s performance each year.”

He Zhenghao furrowed his brows for a while and then relaxed.

In his opinion, the terms in this [Business Pact Scroll] were not harsh.

They even seemed somewhat favorable to him.

After all, 250,000 contribution points was by no means a small sum to a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Who would be willing to lend such a high sum to a Foundation Establishment Cultivator at such a low interest rate?

What’s more, there was even the possibility of waiving the interest every year.

And all he needed to do was work for Li Fan.

It was merely disguised as a job.

this contract was quite generous compared to the [God-Soul Pact] from the Five Elders Organization where one was required to dedicate their life unconditionally.

That’s what He Zhenghao thought.

Therefore, after a moment of hesitation, he gradually wrote his name down on the [Business Pact Scroll].

Seeing that, a smile of delight crossed Li Fan’s face.

With a few swift strokes, he wrote down his name as well.

Once the signature was set, the contract was formed.

The gold light immediately divided into three parts; one part flew to the sky while the remaining two parts flowed into Li Fan and He Zhenghao’s bodies respectively.

“From now on, we’re on the same team,” Li Fan patted He Zhenghao’s shoulder and said with a smile.

He Zhenghao also started to feel more familiar with Li Fan.

“Do you have the Small Tianxuan Mirror on you? I’ll transfer the contribution points to you, ” Li Fan offered willingly.

“I do, I do,” He Zhenghao immediately took out the Small Tianxuan Mirror from his storage ring.

A moment later, 250,000 contribution points were successfully transferred.

He Zhenghao, completely flushed with excitement, couldn’t wait to exchange for “The Hidden Dragon Technique of Mountains and Rivers”.

A radiant gold Jade Scroll appeared in his hand. Having finally obtained the desired Nascent Soul True Technique after a long wait, He Zhenghao was utterly ecstatic.

Bowing to Li Fan, He Zhenghao expressed, “Thank you, fellow cultivator!”

Li Fan squinted his eyes and waved his hand dismissively, “We’re all on the same side, no need for formalities.

“Now that you’ve got the Cultivation Technique, why not test its effectiveness right away? Check if it’s really as suitable as you said. I’ll guard you!” Li Fan suggested..
