Chapter 26: Tactfully Speaking to the People
Chapter 26 – Tactfully Speaking to the Crowd
Although Sun Zhang chose to avoid seeing him, Li Fan would not give up so simply.
Judging from the fact that he couldn’t help but say something to comfort Su Changyu that day, this person was at the very least not a treacherous person. The reason why he had kept a cold face before, I am afraid that he just didn’t want to get involved with the mortals of the Immortal Extinction Land.
Compared to strangers, Li Fan preferred to deal with people who knew something.
So Li Fan went and returned, and came in front of Tian Bao Lou again.
“Why did you kid come back again? Looking for death?” The big man in black at the doorway looked at Li Fan warily and said viciously.
Li Fan smiled faintly, “I came here to do business with your Tian Bao Lou. You guys don’t even talk about it and want to kick people out. Is this your Tian Bao Lou’s way of treating guests?”
Li Fan deliberately let go of his voice, causing the people around him to look over.
“You ……” The big man was furious and was about to come up and punch someone, but he was stopped by the people beside him.
After going back to ask for instructions, the big man with a somewhat indignant face guided Li Fan inside.
Coming to a guest room and sitting down, a maid served a cup of tea.
Li Fan unhurriedly tasted a mouthful of it, and when the tea entered his stomach, he felt a warm current flowing from his stomach to his whole body.
In just a moment, Li Fan felt as if he had spent half an hour in the sun in winter, his body was warm and even a little hot.
“Good tea!” Li Fan could not help but praise.
“The Dayu Amazing Dragon, which grows in the undersea crater around Dayu Island, has only a few dozen plants. Now with the destruction of Great Valley Island, this Great Valley Amazing Dragon has also temporarily become extinct.” A person walked in with a smile on his face and slowly said, it was none other than Sun Zhang.
“That’s thanks to you, Elder Sun.” Li Fan was not polite and drank the rest of the tea in one go.
Only when Li Fan put the teacup down did Sun Zhang narrow his eyes and slowly opened his mouth to ask, “The matter of the Great Li is over, there should be no more entanglements between you and me. Why are you looking for me again now?”
Sun Zhang’s tone was very nonchalant, and there was a hidden killing chance in his eyes, as if if Li Fan’s answer did not satisfy him, he would kill someone.
Li Fan did not care about Sun Zhang’s questioning, but replied with a smile, “Elder Sun misunderstood, I am indeed here to talk about a business.”
“Business? Just you?” Sun Zhang was first stunned for a moment, then snorted and sized up Li Fan.
Li Fan’s face remained unchanged, smiling without saying anything.
Seeing this, Sun Zhang gradually became serious: “What business?”
“I don’t know if the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion is interested in the quota for the fleet of ships going out to sea.” Li Fan slowly said.
“Every time the flotilla goes out to sea, not to mention the treasures that can be salvaged occasionally, the glazed fish and some other sea specialties alone are enough to earn a lot of money. It would be impossible to say that we, Heavenly Treasure House, are not interested.”
“But the fleet slots are firmly held by Steward Qian, not to mention our Heavenly Treasure House, even Steward Zhao would find it extremely difficult to occupy one more. What ability do you, a newcomer, have to dare to hit it?” Sun Zhang stared at Li Fan dead on, as if he wanted to see something from his face.
“If I am allowed to meet Steward Zhao, I will have my own method to convince him.” Li Fan said with confidence.
Seeing Li Fan so sure of himself, Sun Zhang was a little uncertain for a moment.
“Then let him meet Steward Zhao, it’s not that difficult. If things don’t work out, he will be cut up and thrown into the sea to feed the fish.” At this moment, a somewhat lazy voice came from outside the house.
Li Fan’s eyes stared, only to see a woman dressed in pale yellow clothes with a veil walk in.
The woman was only seventeen or eighteen years old by the sound of her voice, but her bumpy figure exuded a mature and seductive aura.
“Greetings to the shopkeeper.” When Sun Zhang saw the woman in yellow, he immediately stood up and respectfully greeted her.
“Then, thank you Boss Shopkeeper first.” Li Fan’s face was as usual as he arched his hand and said.
“Seeing that you seem to have a few certainties, it doesn’t seem like you are talking big.” Sitting opposite Li Fan, the woman in yellow cocked her head and looked at Li Fan with some curiosity.
“My humble self has always been a promise and a word.” Li Fan frankly said.
The woman in yellow lightly laughed out.
“If the matter really comes to fruition, I, Heavenly Treasure House, may have to extract the corresponding benefits.” “According to the rules of the island, each time you go out to sea, you can keep 30% of the harvest. I don’t want any of this 30%, half of it will be given to Steward Zhao, and half of it will be handed over to your Heavenly Treasure House.” Li Fan nodded his head in agreement and spoke in a shocking manner.
The woman in yellow froze.
She resumed and carefully sized up Li Fan for a few moments, “That’s strange, in that case, what do you want after going to such great lengths?”
“I only want the once every three years quota to enter the Pure Body Spirit Pool.” Li Fan said frankly.
“Huh …… “The woman was really shocked at this time, she looked at Li Fan for several times, as if to make sure she hadn’t heard it wrong.
Li Fan locked eyes with her, his gaze firm.
“Hahahahaha ……” As if she had heard some particularly funny joke, the woman in yellow actually laughed out directly.
“Come on, uncle, you’re a handful of years old and you still want to learn how to cultivate immortality from others?” After laughing for a long time, she stopped with some difficulty and barely managed to say one sentence before she couldn’t help but laugh out loud again.
Sun Zhang looked at Li Fan and was also filled with incredulity.
Li Fan just looked at the yellow-clothed woman so quietly and did not say anything.
The laughter of the woman in yellow became smaller and smaller.
“Ha……ha……”
Eventually she laughed dryly and snapped back to normal.
“But if you seek longevity, you will not regret it even though you die.” Li Fan said indifferently.
The woman in yellow did not say anything for a long time.
“Good, I shall accept this matter.” In the end, she clapped her hands and said. “I’ll send someone to inform you when a date has been set.”
“In that case, it’s settled. I live in the seventh house of the Sixth Vertical column outside the city, so you can go there to look for me.” Li Fan arched his hand and turned to leave.
Only the woman in yellow and Sun Zhang remained in the room.
After a long silence, Sun Zhang couldn’t help but say, “Boss, that Pure Body Spirit Pool quota ……”
“Although the quota for the Pure Body Spirit Pool is highly contested on the island every year, it’s not as if our Heavenly Treasure House doesn’t have the strength to fight for it. What’s more, if he can really secure a fleet of ships to go out to sea, it will only take five years or so, and the profits that the fleet brings in will barely be enough to cover a quota. This matter is a steady profit.” The woman in yellow was unimpressed.
“Rather ……,” she frowned her good-looking brows, looking at the direction Li Fan had left and muttering to herself.
“What?” Sun Zhang couldn’t help but ask.
“That person’s eyes look so scary ……” The woman in yellow patted her chest, seeming to have some palpitations.
Sun Zhang was stunned for a moment.
……
On the way back, Li Fan stopped by the pharmacy to buy the Xuan Huang Qing Xin Mantra and the matching herbs.
Even if everything went well, it would still be two years before the Pure Body Spirit Pool opened.
Such a long period of time could not be wasted.
Why don’t we practice the Xuan Huang Clear Heart Mantra first and see the effect, maybe he, Li Fan, has amazing talent and can get rid of the miasma on his own in less than two years?
After that, Li Fan stayed at home for a few days to practice and wait for the meeting with Steward Zhao.
Who would have thought that before Steward Zhao’s face could be seen, Li Fan heard a news that made him quite shocked.
Su Changyu had died.
