Chapter 34: Purifying the heart has magical effects
Li Fan made some secret inquiries and confirmed that Yin Yuzhen was not lying about the Lichen Pill.
So he met Yin Yuzhen again three days later and agreed to her request.
The two parties agreed that before the Pure Body Spirit Pool was opened, Li Fan would help Tianbao Tower collect a certain number of treasures every once in a while.
When the spiritual pool is opened, Yin Yuzhen will hand over the Li Chen Pill to Li Fan.
Of course, to show her sincerity, Yin Yuzhen took out the title deed to Tingyou Tower.
Now that the two parties had an agreement, Li Fan was no longer polite and took it into his pocket.
So Li Fan moved again.
Tingyou Tower is located in the center of Liuli Island, surrounded by bustling and lively areas.
However, the noisy environment is completely separated through unique architectural structures and vegetation embellishments.
Although it is located in a busy city, it feels like living in the mountains.
This movement captures the meaning of tranquility, hence the name Tingyou.
The area of Tingyou Building is several times the size of Li Fan's previous courtyard. The rockeries, lakes, flowers, plants and trees inside have to be taken care of.
Once again declining the maid sent by Tianbao Tower, Li Fan went to the island to hire a few helpers and asked them to come and clean the house every three days.
Yin Yuzhen was also helpless about Li Fan's caution.
Fortunately, Li Fan did not take care of the things agreed between the two parties.
During the year he lived in Tingyoulou, Li Fan first completed three official trips to Liuli Island, bringing back several boxes of treasure each time. This shocked the whole island and also successfully won Tianbaolou a place in a fleet.
After that, every time the Tianbaolou fleet went to sea, Li Fan would follow them.
After one year, Tianbao Tower made a lot of money, almost equal to the total income of the previous five years.
And he also established prestige in the hearts of everyone in Tianbao Tower, and everyone was respectful and fearful when they saw him.
In the eyes of everyone in Tianbao Tower, Elder Li can't help but have great abilities. He can lead everyone to find treasures this time on the sea; he is also thoughtful and decisive in killing.
One time when the Tianbaolou fleet went to sea, jealous of the treasures they salvaged, several crew members had evil thoughts and wanted to unite to kill and seize the treasures.
Unexpectedly, Elder Li had noticed the abnormality long ago and struck before they could attack, killing them all.
The bodies were thrown into the sea and their heads were strung together to shock onlookers.
Everyone said privately that in fact, those crew members might just be talking nonsense while drunk, and they might not really have the courage to commit murder and swindle goods.
But even with the slightest chance, Elder Li killed them all without mercy.
Moreover, Liuli Island officials and shopkeepers not only did not blame, but praised Elder Li's behavior, saying that he had reasonably and effectively protected Liuli Island's assets.
Even after the people on the island learned about it, they also scolded these bandits for their unjust deaths and said that Elder Li had done a good job.
From then on, no one in the Tianbaolou fleet dared to have any dissent.
Everyone was cautious when they saw Li Fan, fearing that he would find an excuse to kill him.
…
Li Fan naturally didn't care what others thought of him.
In order to fully control the fleet as soon as possible, some means of killing chickens and warning monkeys are still necessary.
He doesn't have so much energy to waste on such mundane things.
Over the past year, he still practiced the "Xuanhuang Qingxin Mantra" whenever he had free time.
Not only because it can get rid of miasma, but because Li Fan discovered something that made him overjoyed.
The charging progress of [Huanzhen] has been accelerated!
Before this, [Huan Zhen]'s charging progress could only increase naturally with the passage of time.
It reaches 100% every twenty years, and then slowly rises to the upper limit of 200%, and then stops increasing.
In his previous nine reincarnations, Li Fan tried various methods to speed up the charging process, but failed.
It has been more than a year since Li Fan left Daxuan and came to the world of immortality.
According to the previous rules, the charging progress should be between 6% and 7%.
However, Li Fan was pleasantly surprised to find that the charging progress reached 15%.
The charging speed is almost twice as fast!
Apart from the Pure Heart Curse, Li Fan had no contact with anything else that might help.
The only explanation is that practicing the "Xuanhuang Qingxin Mantra" can actually speed up the charging progress of [Huan Zhen].
Although we still don’t know what the principle is, this does not prevent Li Fan from practicing more diligently.
And with the [Huanzhen] panel display, every bit of progress can be seen clearly.
This also prevents Li Fan from losing motivation due to long and boring repetitive practice.
In addition to the charging progress, Li Fan's upper age limit has also increased significantly.
Name: Li Fan
Realm: Mortal
Biological age: 42/95↑
Mental age: 505/1210↑
Void recharging progress: 115%
Anchor recharging progress: 51%
Current number of anchor points: 1
Binding items: "Thousands of Machines Jade World Golden Medal", Taiyan Zhou, Zhizhi Broken Monument (damaged)
…
Time passed quietly in Li Fan's selfless practice.
Soon, there was only one year left before the opening of the Pure Body Spirit Pond.
Liuli Island also announced the list of supplies needed this time.
Li Fan is currently studying the list with everyone in Tianbao Tower.
"The rest of the things on this list are easy to explain, but what is this Xinghai Quicksand?" Li Fan looked at it again and asked with a frown.
After working in Tianbao Tower for a year, Li Fan was not without gains.
At least he has a general understanding of the conventional ores and rare materials circulating in Congyun Sea.
Not only was Sun Zhang confused, but even Yin Yuzhen, the shopkeeper of Tianbao Tower, was silent.
"The materials required this time are very common, but I have never heard of Xinghai Quicksand. It seems that the key point in the competition for the quota is on Xinghai Quicksand." Sun Zhang said.
"I have been in business for more than ten years and I have never heard of this thing." Yin Yuzhen tapped her fingers on the table. "It seems like I need to ask people from the Wanhua Chamber of Commerce."
"These people are all reincarnations of hungry ghosts and are very greedy. I'm afraid they are going to bleed heavily." Sun Zhang sighed.
"I am determined to win the spot in the Lingchi Pool." Li Fan said solemnly.
The Wanhua Chamber of Commerce is not a local chamber of commerce in Cong Yunhai, but comes from a continent thousands of miles away.
It is said that the Chamber of Commerce has the support of immortal masters behind it, so it can easily cross the endless sea and come to this remote Congyun Sea to do business.
Since Yin Yuzhen and the Wanhua Chamber of Commerce got online more than ten years ago, the two sides have had trade relations over the years.
It is precisely because of the Wanhua Chamber of Commerce that Tianbao Tower can quickly digest the large amount of treasure Li Fan salvaged and turn it into profits.
"There is still one year of preparation time. The Wanhua Chamber of Commerce's chamber of commerce tour should pass by Cong Yunhai in three months. I can contact him at that time." Yin Yuzhen said.
"We can't place all our hopes on the Wanhua Chamber of Commerce. In the past year, Liuli Island has attracted many victims from other islands. These victims come from all over the Congyun Sea. I'm sure there are people who know this Xinghai Quicksand. You can ask them about the island. Other forces in the world are also looking for this Xinghai Quicksand and need to pay more attention to it. Once they find something, we can take action accordingly." Li Fan made a decision.
