“Damn it, give me back my money!”

“I wondered why Li Fan was suddenly so generous! Without any sign, he restarted the fundraising plan that had been on hold for a long time! Not only did he restart it, but he removed the fundraising limit! So, this is what he had planned!”

“Exactly, his prediction abilities have reached the Realm of Transmutation; he could even foresee the ceasefire between the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals and the Five Elders Organization. When he released the Techniques this time, how could he not foresee this? I bet he just wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to scam us!”

“Seriously? With the Emissary’s current wealth and status, do you really think he’s interested in our little money?”

“Maybe he wouldn’t be interested in just one or ten people. But this time, the number of cultivators participating in the fundraiser is well over ten thousand! This many Contribution Points, not to mention him, even the Unity Immortal Monarch would be green with envy! Just watch, when we ask He Zhenghao to return our Contribution Points, he will definitely make all kinds of excuses!”

Under the instigation of many cultivators, the crowd became fearful and agitated.

They gathered at the entrance of Governance Hall, unwilling to leave for a long time.

Technically, unrelated individuals are not allowed to gather in the Central Core Area of Immortal City.

However, this fundraising incident involved too many people, with even many internal cultivators contributing their entire fortune.

The Techniques are now half-priced, and these people can’t come up with enough Contribution Points in a short period of time.

Due to their special status, they dare not cause trouble for their superiors.

But they certainly have the nerve to let these people in to “defend their rights”.

This caused a chaotic scene.

Gao Yuan and He Zhenghao, however, remained calm in the bustling Governance Hall, not worried at all.

“A bunch of troublemakers!”

“We agreed on five years. Five years it shall be! It’s not even been that long, and they’re already clamoring to buy back their Contribution Points?”

“Do they really think the business pacts that I painstakingly signed with them one by one are fake?”

He Zhenghao’s tone was dismissive as his gaze constantly scanned over the screen of the Small Tianxuan Mirror.

“‘The Nine Transformations of the Soaring Dragon’, a God Transformation Technique, 950,000 Contribution Points. Like a dragon shedding its skin, it can defy destiny, and reshape oneself…”

“‘Rivers and Mountains in the Sleeve’, a God Transformation Technique, one million Contribution Points. When mastered, one can sweep mountains and rivers into their sleeves with every movement…”

…

He was now free to choose among the Techniques that he had not even dared to think about in the past.

After following Li Fan for just a few years, he was no longer the Guard of Liuli Island who had to carefully calculate for even a hundred Contribution Points.

“Although these God Transformation Techniques are not bad, they still lack a bit of flair. Why not just go all the way and directly exchange for the Unity-Path Technique? It’s a rare opportunity.”

“It’s indeed a golden chance.”

An idea surfaced in He Zhenghao, who had been spoilt for choice, and he could no longer suppress it.

After carefully perusing a few Unity-Path Technique descriptions, the God Transformation Techniques he had previously chosen suddenly lost their appeal.

“Hmm… All of these are extraordinary items, the lowest priced ones requires at least 2 million Contribution Points, but I don’t have enough.”

“If I select the ones that are more suitable for me, the shortfall is even more.”

“However, that doesn’t mean there’s no way…”

He Zhenghao started calculating in his heart.

Meanwhile, Gao Yuan, who had been silent all the while, remained so. Yet the excitement in his eyes was something he couldn’t hide. He was just like He Zhenghao, busy choosing the Technique he fancied.

Only Zhou Qingang, who sat in the center of the two, remained unmoved and closed his eyes in meditation.

“Zhou Qingang’s composure is really impressive, being able to resist such temptation. No wonder the Emissary is placing increasing importance on him.” He Zhenghao secretly glanced at Zhou Qingang between exchanges with Gao Yuan.

Ever since a succession of cultivators came to redeem their Contribution Points in advance not long ago and they became annoyed by the endless harassment,

The three of them had been hiding here together with the door tightly shut, out of sight, out of mind.

Not long after, Zhou Qingang who had been silent, suddenly spoke: “Letting them make trouble like this is not a solution either.”

“We don’t care what they think. But if they make reckless remarks out of anger and resentment, the Emissary’s reputation will be tarnished.”

“Words can be dreadful! If it gets out, outsiders who don’t know the truth might really think the Emissary is the kind of villain who covets other people’s assets!”

Reacting swiftly, Gao Yuan chimed in as soon as Zhou Qingang finished speaking, “Exactly, the Emissary still hopes to win people over with this matter. If it drags on, I’m afraid his plans will be delayed!”

This time, He Zhenghao lifted his head, looking stunned, and asked, “What are your suggestions, my friends?”

“Didn’t the Emissary give instructions before? The business pact also clearly states that early redemption is not impossible. It just involves a penalty fee and a lifetime ban on participating in future fundraising.”

“You go out and explain this to them. If they still insist, then return their Contribution Points to them.”

“Make sure to take down the names, and I will report to the Emissary. That’ll solve the problem, right?”

Zhou Qingang put it plainly.

He Zhenghao was quietly cursing in his mind, “You make it sound so easy, but we’re talking about a penalty! That’s a whopping one-third! That’s a hard-earned fortune, how many people would be willing to give that up? If I say that, won’t they tear me apart?”

Looking for help from Gao Yuan, all he saw was the latter keeping his eyes down and his mind focused, as if he had no concern.

“Daoist He?”

Hearing Zhou Qingang’s intensified tone, He Zhenghao had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree.

The moment he stepped out of the Governance Hall, the previously noisy crowd of cultivators suddenly quieted down.

They all looked at He Zhenghao in unison.

“Bang!”

The door behind him closed quickly, and He Zhenghao revealed a smile that was even uglier than crying, “Everyone, please allow me to explain!”

…

While He Zhenghao was racking his brains to reason with the cultivators,

Han Yi was still unable to recover from extreme regret.

After the news of the discount on Techniques was released, although he was now penniless, he studied the list of the released Techniques out of curiosity.

It was fine before he checked. But now that he had, he felt somewhat unbalanced.

Among them was a Technique called “Book of Spacetime Chaos and the Primal Element” that had the wonderful effect of avoiding disasters and tribulations.

And it was just a God Transformation Technique, which required only 1.1 million Contribution Points after the half-price discount.

“If combined with my Heavenly Fate Sutra, it can significantly reduce the consequences of my Heavenly Fate backlash.”

“I wouldn’t have to worry about inexplicable disasters befalling me, like before.”

“It’s simply too suitable for me…”

The more Han Yi thought about it, the more regretful he felt.

“Damn it! How I wish I had restrained myself back then!”

Filled with frustration, Han Yi’s heart churned, and he almost spurted blood on the spot.
