Chapter 34: Purifying the Heart Has a Miraculous Effect
Li Fan secretly inquired about it and confirmed that Yin Yuzhen did not lie 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 Purifying Spirit Pool was opened, Li Fan would help Tianbao Tower collect a certain number of treasures every once in a while.
When the spirit pool opens, Yin Yuzhen will hand the Lichen Pill to Li Fan.
Of course, to show her sincerity, Yin Yuzhen took out the title deed of Tingyou Tower again.
Since both parties had an agreement, Li Fan didn't hesitate and took it.
So Li Fan moved again.
Tingyou Tower is located in the central area of Liuli Island, surrounded by bustling and lively surroundings.
However, the noisy environment is completely separated by its unique architectural structure and the embellishment of plants.
Although it is in a busy city, it feels like living in the mountains.
This means to find tranquility in movement, so it is named Tingyou.
The area of Tingyou Tower is several times larger than Li Fan’s previous courtyard, and the rockery, lake, flowers, plants and trees inside it all need to be taken care of.
Li Fan once again declined the maid sent by Tianbao Tower and went to the island to hire a few servants, asking them to come and clean the house every three days.
Yin Yuzhen was helpless about Li Fan's caution.
Fortunately, Li Fan did not neglect the agreement between the two parties.
During the year he lived in Tingyou Tower, Li Fan first completed three official voyages of Liuli Island and brought back several boxes of treasures each time, which shocked the whole island and successfully won a place in the fleet for Tianbao Tower.
After that, Li Fan would follow the Tianbao Tower fleet every time it went out to sea.
At the end of the year, Tianbao Tower made a huge profit, almost equal to the total profit of the previous five years.
He also established prestige among the people in Tianbao Tower, and everyone respected and feared him when they saw him.
In the eyes of everyone in Tianbao Tower, this Elder Li not only possesses great abilities and can lead everyone to find treasures during this voyage; he is also meticulous and decisive.
Once when the Tianbao Tower fleet was out to sea, several crew members were jealous of the treasures that were salvaged and had evil ideas. They wanted to unite and kill people to steal the treasures.
They never expected that Elder Li had already noticed the abnormality, and took the initiative to behead them all before they could react.
The bodies were thrown into the sea and the heads were strung together to shock bystanders.
Everyone said privately that perhaps those crew members were just talking nonsense after drinking, and they might not really have the courage to commit murder and robbery.
But even if there was such a possibility, Elder Li killed them all without mercy.
Moreover, the officials and the shopkeeper of Liuli Island not only did not blame him, but praised Elder Li's behavior, saying that it was a reasonable and effective way to protect the assets of Liuli Island.
Even the people on the island cursed the robbers for deserving death after they found out about it, and said Elder Li had done a great job.
From then on, no one in the Tianbao Tower fleet dared to have any dissenting thoughts.
When everyone saw Li Fan, they were all very cautious, fearing that he would find an excuse to kill them.
…
Li Fan naturally doesn't care what others think of him.
In order to gain full control of the fleet as quickly as possible, some means of killing the chicken to scare the monkey are still necessary.
He doesn't have so much energy to waste on these mundane matters.
Over the past year, he has been practicing the "Xuanhuang Qingxin Mantra" whenever he has free time.
It's not just because it can dispel miasma, but because Li Fan discovered something that made him overjoyed.
【Huanzhen】's charging progress has accelerated!
Before this, Huanzhen's charging progress could only increase naturally with the passage of time.
It reaches 100% every 20 years, and after slowly rising to an upper limit of 200%, it no longer increases.
In the previous nine reincarnations, Li Fan tried various methods to speed up the charging process, but all failed.
It has been more than a year since Li Fan left Daxuan and came to the world of immortal cultivation.
According to previous rules, the charging progress should be between 6% and 7%.
However, Li Fan was pleasantly surprised to find that the charging progress had reached 15%.
The charging speed is almost twice as fast!
Apart from the Heart Purification Mantra, Li Fan did not come into contact with anything else that might help.
The only explanation is that practicing the "Xuan Huang Qing Xin Mantra" can actually speed up the charging progress of [Huan Zhen].
Although the principle is still unknown, this does not prevent Li Fan from practicing more diligently.
And with the display of the [Zhenzhen] panel, every bit of progress can be seen clearly.
This also prevents Li Fan from losing motivation due to long-term boring and repetitive practice.
In addition to the charging progress, Li Fan's age limit has also increased significantly.
Name: Li Fan
Realm: Mortal
Physiological age: 42/95↑
Mental age: 505/1210↑
Virtual Energy Recharge Progress: 115%
Anchor Charge Progress: 51%
Current number of anchor points: 1
Bound items: "Thousand Machines Jade Gold Seal", Taiyan Boat, Stop Monument (damaged)
…
Time passed quietly as Li Fan practiced selflessly.
Soon, there was only one year left until the opening of the Purifying Spirit Pool.
Liuli Island also announced the list of materials needed this time.
Li Fan is currently studying this list with everyone in Tianbao Tower.
"Everything else on the list is easy to deal with, but what is this Star Sea Quicksand?" Li Fan asked with a frown after taking a look.
After working in Tianbao Building for a year, Li Fan did not gain nothing.
At least he has a general understanding of the common ores and rare materials circulating in Congyun Sea.
Not only did Sun Zhang look confused, even Yin Yuzhen, the owner of Tianbao Tower, was silent.
"The materials needed this time are all very common, except for this Star Sea Quicksand, which I have never heard of. It seems that the key point in the competition for this quota lies in this Star Sea Quicksand." Sun Zhang said.
"I've been doing business for more than ten years, and I've never heard of this thing." Yin Yuzhen tapped the table with her fingers. "It seems I have to ask the people at the Wanhua Chamber of Commerce."
"These people are the reincarnation of starving ghosts. They are very greedy. I'm afraid they will bleed heavily." Sun Zhang sighed.
"I am determined to get a place in the spirit pool." Li Fan said in a deep voice.
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 the Immortal Master, so it can easily cross the Endless Sea and come to this remote Congyun Sea to do business.
Ever since Yin Yuzhen and Wanhua Chamber of Commerce got in touch more than ten years ago, the two sides have had trade exchanges over the years.
It was thanks to the Wanhua Chamber of Commerce that Tianbao Tower was able to quickly digest the large amount of treasure salvaged by Li Fan and convert it into profits.
"There is still a year to prepare. The Wanhua Chamber of Commerce's Chamber of Commerce should pass by Cong Yunhai in three months, and I can contact him then." Yin Yuzhen said.
"We can't put all our hopes on the Wanhua Chamber of Commerce. In the past year, Liuli Island has taken in many disaster victims from other islands. These disaster victims come from all over Congyun Sea. There may be some who know about the Star Sea Quicksand. We can ask them. Other forces on the island are also looking for the Star Sea Quicksand, and we need to keep a close eye on them. Once they make any discoveries, we can take action right away." Li Fan made the decision.
