Li Fan quietly investigated and confirmed that Yin Yuzhen had not lied about the Dust Escape Pill.

Therefore, he met her three days later and agreed to her request.

The two parties decided that before the Spirit Cleansing Pond was opened, Li Fan would help Tianbao Building collect a certain number of treasures over time.

When the Spirit Pool was opened, Yin Yuzhen would give the Dust Escape Pill to Li Fan.

Of course, to express her sincerity, Yin Yuzhen took out the title deed of the Ghost Listeners Building again.

Since both sides made a deal, Li Fan showed no more courtesy and took it.

So, Li Fan moved again.

The Ghost Listeners Building is located in the central area of Liuli Island, surrounded by busy and lively atmosphere.

But through unique building structures and vegetation, it completely separates the noisy environment.

Although it is in the city, it feels like living in the deep mountains.

This sense of calm within movement gives it its name, Ghost Listeners.

The Ghost Listeners Building is several times larger than Li Fan’s previous courtyard, and its internal artificial hills, lakes, flowers, and trees need people to take care of.

Once again refusing the maid sent by Tianbao Building, Li Fan hired a few workers from the island himself, asking them to clean once every three days.

Yin Yuzhen was helpless about Li Fan’s caution.

Fortunately, Li Fan took their agreement seriously.

In the year living in the Ghost Listeners Building, Li Fan first completed three

official sea travels of Liuli Island. Each time, he brought back a few boxes of treasures which stunned the whole island and won a fleet quota for Tianbao Building.

Afterwards, every time the Tianbao Building fleet set sail, Li Fan would go with them.

By the end of the year, Tianbao Building had made a fortune, almost equivalent to the total income of the previous five years.

He also built up prestige in the hearts of everyone in the Tianbao Building, and everyone respected and feared him.

In the eyes of the Tianbao Building, Elder Li not only had great capabilities and could lead everyone to find treasure during sea travels; but also had meticulous thoughts and decisive actions.

Once, during a sea voyage of the Tianbao Building fleet, several sailors had bad thoughts because they were jealous of the treasures salvaged and wanted to join forces to kill for treasure.

But Elder Li noticed the anomaly early and acted before they did, beheading them all.

He threw their bodies into sea and intimated others by stringing their heads together.

People privately said that those sailors might have only blustered while drunk and may not have had the guts to actually kill.

But with the slightest possibility, Elder Li mercilessly killed them all.

Not only did the officials of Liuli Island and the shopkeeper not blame him, instead they praised Elder Li’s behavior, saying that it effectively protected the assets of Liuli Island.

Even after the islanders heard about it, they said that the robbers deserved to die and that Elder Li did a great job.

After that, no one in the Tianbao Building fleet dared to have any different ideas.

Everyone was cautious when they saw Li Fan, afraid of being beheaded by him with an excuse.

Li Fan didn’t care about others’ opinions of him.

To quickly take complete control of the fleet, some methods of killing chickens to scare the monkeys were necessary.

He didn’t have so much energy wasted on these mundane affairs.

Over the past year, as soon as he had free time he would diligently practice “The Mysterious Yellow Heart-Purifying Mantra”.

Not only because it could dispel miasma, but also because Li Fan found out something that made him happy beyond expectation.

[Real]’s charging progress had accelerated!

Before this, [Real]’s charging progress could only naturally increase with the passage of time.

Every twenty years it would reach one hundred percent, slowly increasing to the upper limit of two hundred percent and then it would stop increasing.

During his previous nine reincarnations, Li Fan tried various methods to speed up the charging progress, but failed to succeed.

Li Fan had been in the Immortal Cultivation World for over a year since he left

Da Xuan.

According to the previous rules, the charging progress should have been between 6% and 7%.

However, Li Fan surprisingly found that the charging progress had actually reached 15%.

The charging speed was nearly twice as fast!

Other than the Heart-Clearing Mantra, Li Fan did not encounter other things that might help this.

The only explanation is that practicing “The Mysterious Yellow

Heart-Purifying Mantra” could actually speed up [Real]’s charging progress.

Although he doesn’t know why right now, this does not prevent Li Fan from practicing even more diligently.

The progress was displayed clearly on the [Real] panel, so Li Fan didn’t lose motivation from long periods of tedious repetition.

In addition to the charging progress, Li Fan’s upper age limit also had significant growth.

Name: Li Fan

Realm: Mortal

Physical Age: 42/95 A

Void Transformation Charging Progress: 115%

Anchor Charging Progress: 51%

Current Number of Anchors: 1

Bound Items: “The Golden Seal of the Jade Realm of a Thousand Mechanisms” , Tai Yan Boat, Stop Step Fragment (Damaged)

Time quietly passed in Li Fan’s self-absorbed cultivation.

Soon, there was only one year left before the opening of the Spirit Cleansing

Pond.

The list of materials needed this time has been announced on Liuli Island.

Li Fan is now studying this list together with the people of Tianbao Building.

“All the other things on this list are easy to get, but what is this Star Sea Sand?” Li Fan asked after reading it.

Having worked at Tianbao Building for a year, Li Fan was not without gains,

At least he had a rough understanding of the general ores and rare materials circulated in the Misthaven Ocean.

Not only was Sun Zhang baffled, but even the shopkeeper of Tianbao Building, Yin Yuzhen, was silent.

“The materials needed this time are all common. It’s just that I’ve never heard of this Star Sea Sand. It seems that the key to the competition for quotas this time is the Star Sea Sand.” Sun Zhang said.

“I’ve been in business for more than ten years, and I’ve never heard of this thing.” Yin Yuzhen tapped the table with her finger. “It seems we need to ask the people from the Wanhua Commercial Association.”

“These people are very greedy. I’m afraid we’re going to have to bleed a lot.” Sun Zhang sighed.

“I am determined to get the quota for the Spirit Pool.” Li Fan said seriously.

The Wanhua Commercial Association is not a local trade association of the Misthaven Ocean, but comes from a continent tens of thousands of miles away.

The association is said to have the backing of an Immortal Teacher, so it can easily cross the endless ocean and come to this remote Misthaven Ocean to do business.

Since Yin Yuzhen connected with the Wanhua Commercial Association over ten years ago, the two sides have been trading with each other over the years.

And it was through the Wanhua Commercial Association that Tianbao Building was able to quickly digest the large amount of treasures brought back by Li Fan and turn them into profits.

“There is one year of preparation time left. The traveling merchant from the Wanhua Commercial Association should pass by the Misthaven Ocean in about three months. I can contact him then.” Yin Yuzhen said.

“We also can’t put all our hopes on the Wanhua Commercial Association. In the past year, Liuli Island has taken in many refugees from other islands. These refugees come from all over the Misthaven Ocean. It’s possible that some of them know what Star Sea Sand is, so we could ask them. The other forces on the island are also looking for this Star Sea Sand, so we need to keep a close watch on them. If they find something, we can follow suit.” Li Fan made the decision..
