When Li Fan transmigrated into a new world, his life seemed unremarkable. He was moderately well-off, with a wife and children, but nothing extraordinary. Everything changed upon his death, when he...
Chapter 32: The Body Can Be Psychic
As sixteen boxes of jewellery were unloaded from the ship in full view of the public, the entire dock was in an uproar.
You know, the last time the fleet had such a big harvest was last time... no, it was just a few months ago!
When did it become so easy to salvage treasure sunk to the bottom of the sea?
Or, is the sea area near Liuli Island so rich that treasures are everywhere?
Everyone on the island fell into deep suspicion.
Then it got even more heated.
Who doesn’t want to get rich overnight?
Countless excited people rushed home happily to share what they saw and heard at the pier with their families.
They also want to go out to sea and salvage treasures from the seabed!
As a result, the news that the Cangyuan had also obtained a huge treasure spread quickly and soon spread throughout the entire Liuli Island.
Tianbao Tower.
The woman in yellow was concentrating on identifying a batch of newly acquired items when she suddenly heard hurried footsteps.
"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper!"
Sun Zhang barged in without even saying hello.
"What's wrong?" The woman in yellow was a little surprised.
"Treasures...more than a dozen boxes...Cangyuan..." Sun Zhang panted and spoke intermittently.
The woman in yellow didn't take it seriously: "It's just a dozen boxes of treasure. Is there any need to make such a fuss? If the island wants to digest these things, it still has to go through our Tianbao Tower's channels..."
As the woman was speaking, her expression suddenly changed: "Wait, you mean the Cang Yuan? Is that the ship that the uncle named Li Fan is on?"
Sun Zhang nodded repeatedly.
The woman in yellow was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses: "No wonder that guy swore that he could convince Manager Zhao. He is very sure that he can find the treasure as long as he goes out to sea..."
"That's right, that's right, this ability is just like the head shopkeeper of our Tianbao Tower!" Sun Zhang said with envy and admiration, "Fortunately, you, the shopkeeper, had foresight and gave him a small courtyard before, which can be regarded as a relationship with him. When he returns from the sea this time, he will definitely be very famous. If we want to win him over again, I'm afraid we will have to spend a lot of money."
The woman in yellow interrupted Sun Zhang and said, "Go and make arrangements right away to see when you can invite him to have a meal together. Also, send someone to clean up Tingyoulou and then send the title deed to him."
Sun Zhang was shocked, but this time he didn't say anything and hurried down to handle it.
The only sound in the room was the soft whispers of the woman in yellow.
"Psychic body..."
The legendary psychic body will feel the connection as long as there are rare treasures within a certain range of itself.
The head manager of Tianbao Tower, Yin Yueting, who is also the sister of the woman in yellow, has this special physique.
It was precisely with this incredible ability that Yin Yueting was able to build Wanbaolou, a large chamber of commerce spanning the sea of clouds, from scratch over the past decade.
Li Fan didn't know that he had been mistaken for a psychic body by the people in Tianbao Tower. At this moment, he was in the residence of Manager Zhao.
"You are truly gifted. You brought back sixteen boxes of treasure your first time out to sea. It's such a big surprise to me!" Manager Zhao exclaimed with a smile on his face.
Li Fan smiled and didn't answer.
He knew that Manager Zhao had the ability to distinguish true from false, so he changed the subject alertly: "This time the harvest is indeed not small, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to have as much as this time in the future."
Manager Zhao didn't take it seriously: "That's reasonable. How can we be so lucky every time?"
Then he added: "But based on this harvest alone, it is enough for me to operate a separate fleet for you."
Li Fan nodded: "In that case, thank you very much, Manager Zhao!"
“I heard that you have been working so hard to get a spot in the Body Purifying Spirit Pool?” Manager Zhao took a sip of tea and suddenly asked.
"That's right. I encountered a great change, and then I realized that all the glory and wealth in the world are fleeting. Even if you have endless treasures, they will turn into a handful of yellow earth after a hundred years. Only by seeking immortals and achieving immortality can your life in this world be worthwhile!" Li Fan sighed, full of emotion.
Manager Zhao stared at Li Fan for a long time before he sighed, "At your age, you still have the ambition to become an immortal. I am not as good as you!"
As if remembering something, Manager Zhao's face showed a complicated expression: "More than ten years ago, when I was about your age, I saved a fairy master by chance. The fairy master asked me if I was willing to follow him to practice, but I knew that I was already past the best age for practice. Even if I practiced, I might not be able to achieve anything. Besides, the older I get, the more deeply rooted the miasma in my body will be, and the more painful it will be to get rid of it."
"So I just asked for a job. Now as I get older, I have a vague feeling of regret. Unfortunately, the mistake has been made and there is no way to regret it." Manager Zhao sighed.
He looked at Li Fan again and exclaimed: "There are hundreds of thousands of mortals on Liuli Island, and people like you are really rare."
"Thank you for your compliment! I wonder what Manager Zhao thinks about the quota for the Body Purification Spirit Pool..."
"I can't help you with this. The opening of the Purifying Spirit Pool needs to be presided over by the Immortal Master on the island, and the number of places is also determined by the Immortal Master. One year before the opening of the Spirit Pool, the Immortal Master will announce the required materials. Each family collects the materials on the list and submits them, and the number of places is determined according to the degree of contribution." Manager Zhao explained and shook his head.
"But you don't have to worry. Tianbao Tower has branches on various islands in Congyun Sea. In terms of the ability to collect supplies, there are not many on Liuli Island that can compare with them."
The figure of the woman in yellow appeared in Li Fan's mind and he nodded.
After staying at Manager Zhao's office for a while, Li Fan said goodbye and left.
As soon as I returned to the courtyard, Sun Zhang came to the door. It was obvious that he had been waiting for a long time.
"Your boss invited me to dinner?"
What a coincidence.
Li Fan just wanted to see him again, so he readily agreed.
As for the title deed to Tingyou Tower brought by Sun Zhang, Li Fan did not accept it.
He planned to meet the woman in yellow first in the evening.
Night falls and the lights come on.
Li Fan came to Tianbao Tower.
There was only one person in the room.
But she changed into a purple dress and no longer wore a veil on her face.
"Formally introduce you to the owner of Tianbao Tower on Liuli Island, Yin Yuzhen."
"Li Fan."
Yin Yuzhen chuckled: "Uncle, you are really concise and to the point."
"As an ordinary person, there is really nothing worth saying." Li Fan said frankly.
"The psychic body is not worth mentioning in the eyes of this uncle." Yin Yuzhen looked at Li Fan with a smile.
"Oh? I don't know what a psychic body is." Li Fan's heart moved, but he said without changing his expression.
"Then how did you find the treasure in the vast ocean?" Yin Yuzhen didn't believe it.
“It’s just a feeling in my heart.”
"You still say you don't have a psychic body?" Yin Yuzhen frowned and said through gritted teeth.
But when she saw that Li Fan really seemed to know nothing, she had no choice but to tell him about the psychic body.
"So, your sister also has a psychic body?" Li Fan narrowed his eyes.
"How old is she this year? What does she look like? Where was she 20 years ago? Where is she now?"
