My Simulated Road to Immortality-Chapter 1256 - 1208: Immortal Alliance’s High-Pressure Stance

"Kongming Flow Crystal?"

In an instant, information related to it surfaced in Li Fan’s spirit consciousness.

Kongming Flow Crystals are silk-like solid crystals.

Capable of floating in the air and fluidly moving like water, they exuded a dreamy radiance of various colors.

They are often mixed into the magic treasures forged by female cultivators of the Xuanhuang World, making the treasures dazzle with splendid light whether in a normal state or when activated.

But...

Apart from being aesthetically pleasing, they seem to have no other uses.

So even though their production is not high, their price has remained at a stable rate of eight thousand contribution points per piece, neither high nor low.

Now, someone in the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance headquarters is willing to risk the consequences of a crackdown after the event to purchase them in advance.

Clearly, these Kongming Flow Crystals must be related to the Sixteen Harmonized Paths of Law Transmission, leaving the Xuanhuang World.

Inside the Sun Family Secret Chamber, with the original power of the Tianxuan Mirror and the Immeasurable Mirror’s watchful probing, Li Fan rapidly detected numerous covert messages and transaction records related to them.

These individuals were very discreet and cautious.

Most had agreed on the details within the Tianxuan Mirror and opted to trade face-to-face with standard Spirit Stones.

Occasionally, after acquiring more in the Tianxuan Mirror, they would still post the information, seemingly ready to sell. This ensured that a certain number of Kongming Flow Crystals were always circulating in the Tianxuan Mirror market, and the price did not show any significant fluctuations.

However, as they changed hands repeatedly, the vast majority of Kongming Flow Crystals on the market were gradually controlled by the same group of people. The so-called transactions were nothing more than passing items from the left hand to the right.

"Not a bad technique, much more pleasing to the eye than my crude market manipulation,"

"It seems that this is not their first time doing something like this."

Li Fan clicked his tongue in praise, employing the original power of the Tianxuan Mirror to join in.

He possessed the ability to erase traces of information from the Tianxuan Mirror at any time and naturally did not act as fearfully as these shadowy rats.

He bought recklessly, without any concern for so-called prices, using high prices that no one could refuse to make purchases.

It was like a Giant Whale causing a huge surge in the Tianxuan Mirror trading market.

Suddenly, the price of Kongming Flow Crystals soared sharply.

This abnormality naturally caught the attention of more cultivators.

Even though they still didn’t know the real use of Kongming Flow Crystals, it didn’t stop them from following the trend and making purchases.

The false Tianxuan Mirror identity created by Li Fan’s split self quickly received several unfamiliar messages.

"Which clan are you from? Acting so recklessly, do you have a death wish?"

"Brother, tone it down. Don’t make it so that none of us can eat."

"Hmph, I advise you to not be greedy. Spit out what you’ve swallowed, so we can all survive together."

...

Among other such disturbed messages, Li Fan replied to all with a single sentence, "Good, this has lured you out. Wait to be cleared out!"

And those cultivators on the other end all fell silent instantly.

Upon checking, it turned out that many had already mysteriously died in just this short period.

"So ruthless even towards their own people."

"But they’re just a bunch of fools."

Li Fan did not take these people seriously; while toying with them, he did not stop the acquisition of Kongming Flow Crystals.

Unfortunately, this time the Immortal Alliance’s response was unusually quick.

"Senior, stop purchasing now!"

Sun Luyao sent a warning.

And Li Fan’s cut-off action had already begun.

```

Kongming Flow Crystals were taken out from the Small Tianxuan Mirror one after another, and then the fabricated identity information was directly erased.

Li Fan’s Split then released an Obliterating Black Light, destroying the Small Tianxuan Mirror completely.

At that moment, within the Tianxuan Mirror, the announcement from the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance was belatedly transmitted.

It was a decree stating the Kongming Flow Crystals as items prohibited for circulation.

All cultivators in possession of them were to hand them over to the Immortal Alliance for collection.

The Immortal Alliance urged every party to cooperate with the relevant work. Those who stubbornly obstructed would be punished for the crime of defying the alliance.

...

The news sent shockwaves in all directions.

This was deemed the strictest measure ever announced by the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance since its establishment.

It concerned the once insignificant Kongming Flow Crystals that hardly anyone cared about.

What mysterious properties did these objects possess that warranted such a massive response from the Immortal Alliance?

Those cultivators who possessed Kongming Flow Crystals but were unwilling to surrender them simply decided to disassemble and research them instead.

But as before, they found nothing of import.

Suspicion and discussion brewed like a gathering storm.

Meanwhile, the Immortal Alliance maintained its silence, opting to further reinforce its suppression with even stricter measures.

No further information related to Kongming Flow Crystals could be found within the Tianxuan Mirror.

And members within the Immortal Alliance system who dared to discuss the Kongming Flow Crystals in secret were immediately stripped of their duties.

Unaffiliated cultivators who met to discuss the matter caught the attention of the Martial Arts Battle Halls across the various states, which promptly summoned and warned them.

Such an oppressive atmosphere made it clear to cultivators everywhere that the Kongming Flow Crystals had truly become a taboo topic, unlike times before.

Xuanhuang Cultivators value their lives, after all.

Suddenly, the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance fell silent, as if muted by a chill.

Voices can be stifled, but how can curiosity and doubts in one’s heart ever be completely suppressed?

The reach of the Immortal Alliance had not yet extended to every cultivator’s side.

Thus, in secluded Cave Mansions far from the Immortal Cities of various states, in secret rooms with heavy forbidden formations, discussions about Kongming Flow Crystals were inevitable.

However, all the Kongming Flow Crystals under the heavens had been confiscated.

They could only speculate with their imagination.

It made no difference whether they could only imagine or if they truly had physical specimens; understanding the actual use of Kongming Flow Crystals was still beyond them.

In the Sun Family Secret Chamber, even after Li Fan used the Immeasurable Mirror to meticulously analyze the Kongming Flow Crystals, he could not find any unique aspect to them.

"It seems that Kongming Flow Crystals are just a relatively important component of the relevant material. There must be other steps involved."

After depleting hundreds of Kongming Flow Crystals, Li Fan reluctantly ceased his research for the time being.

"I’ll have to wait until the Immortal Alliance completes the Sixteen Harmonized Paths and separates from the Xuan Huang before I can find a way to inquire further."

"But I can prepare for observation in advance."

Sun Family.

Wu Ninglu, who was cultivating with her eyes closed, using the resources bestowed by Sun Luyuan, did not notice a shadow emerge from her Storage Ring.

The shadow teleported into her Spirit Consciousness and quickly seized control of Wu Ninglu’s body.

It was indeed Li Fan himself, in the form of a soul partition he had left behind before entering the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance Hall of Enforcement.

Compared to the lurking split spirit, this soul partition was much stronger.

After the split spirit had launched a strike, destroying the Small Tianxuan Mirror to cut off any traceable clues, it fell back into a weakened state.

This soul partition, however, could replenish itself with Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Energy just like a cultivator.
