Chapter 26: Skillful Persuasion

Although Sun Zhang chose to avoid seeing him, Li Fan wouldn't give up so easily.

Judging from the day he couldn't help but console Su Changyu, this person was at least not treacherous. The reason for his cold attitude was probably to avoid too much involvement with mortals from the Immortal Extinction Land.

Compared to ignorant people, Li Fan preferred dealing with the knowledgeable.

So Li Fan came back to the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.

"Why are you back again? Are you looking for trouble?" The black-clad man at the door looked at Li Fan warily and said menacingly.

Li Fan smiled slightly, "I'm here to do business with your Heavenly Treasure Pavilion. You won't even talk and just want to drive people away. Is this how you treat guests at the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion?"

Li Fan intentionally raised his voice, drawing the attention of the people around him.

"You..." The big man was instantly enraged and was about to attack, but was stopped by the person beside him.

After consulting for a while, the big man reluctantly led Li Fan inside.

Arriving at a guest room, a maidservant brought in a cup of tea.

Li Fan tasted it unhurriedly. As the tea went down, he felt a warm stream flowing from his stomach throughout his body.

In just a moment, Li Fan felt as warm as if he had basked in the sun for half the day in winter, even feeling a bit feverish.

"Good tea!" Li Fan couldn't help but praise.

"Great Yuyan Dragon Tea, which grows around the underwater volcanoes near Great Yuyan Island. There are only a few of them. Now, with the destruction of Great Yuyan Island, Great Yuyan Dragon Tea has temporarily become a rare item," a person with a smile on his face walked in and said slowly. It was Sun Zhang.

"My thanks to you, Senior Sun," Li Fan replied without reservation and finished the remaining tea.

When Li Fan put down the teacup, Sun Zhang narrowed his eyes and asked slowly, "The matter of transportation is over, and there should be no more entanglement between us. Why have you sought me out again?"

Sun Zhang's tone was not friendly, and there was a hidden killing intent in his eyes. It seemed that if Li Fan's answer didn't satisfy him, he would take action and kill.

Li Fan didn't care about Sun Zhang's aggressive questions and replied with a smile, "Elder Sun, you misunderstood. I really came to discuss business."

"Business? With you?" Sun Zhang was initially surprised, then sneered while looking at Li Fan.

Li Fan remained unfazed and silent.

Seeing Li Fan so assured, Sun Zhang gradually became serious, "What business?"

"I wonder if the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion is interested in the slots for the sea expedition fleets," Li Fan said slowly.

"Every time a fleet sets sail, aside from occasionally salvaging precious treasures, just the Liu Li Fish and other marine specialties are enough to make a lot of profit. If you say that the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion is not interested, that's impossible."

"But the slots for the fleet are firmly controlled by Steward Qian. Not to mention the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, even Steward Zhao would find it extremely difficult to occupy an extra slot. As a newcomer, what ability do you have to covet it?" Sun Zhang stared at Li Fan, seemingly trying to read something from his face.

"If I can meet Steward Qian, I have my ways to convince him," Li Fan replied confidently.

Seeing Li Fan so determined, Sun Zhang hesitated.

"Then let him meet Steward Qian. It's not a difficult matter. If things don't work out, just chop him up and feed him to the fish in the sea." At this moment, a somewhat lazy voice came from outside the room.

Li Fan's eyes condensed, and he saw a woman wearing light yellow clothes and a veil walking in.

The woman sounded like she was only seventeen or eighteen years old, but her well-proportioned figure exuded a mature and tempting charm.

"Greetings, manager," Sun Zhang stood up immediately upon seeing the woman, respectfully greeting her.

"Thank you in advance, manager." Li Fan remained calm, arching his hand.

"You seem to have some confidence. You don't seem like someone who speaks empty words," the woman sat across from Li Fan, tilting her head slightly, looking curious.

"I have always been a man of my word, and I never go back on my promises," Li Fan said frankly.

The woman in yellow lightly laughed out.

"If this matter really comes to fruition, my Heavenly Treasure Pavilion 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 for yourself. 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 Pavilion." Li Fan nodded his head in agreement and spoke shockingly.

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 a 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 several times, as if to make sure she hadn't heard it wrong.

Li Fan locked eyes with her, his gaze firm.

The woman laughed lightly, as if she had heard a particularly funny joke, and burst into laughter.

"Come on, uncle, you're quite old, and you want to learn cultivation from others?" After laughing for a while, she struggled to stop and managed to say a sentence before bursting into laughter again.

Sun Zhang looked at Li Fan, also full of disbelief.

Li Fan just looked at the woman calmly, without speaking.

The woman's laughter grew fainter.

"Haha..."

In the end, she laughed dryly and returned to normal.

"But seeking immortality at your age? That's funny," she said with a smile, tapping her chest, seeming a bit relieved.

"But if I seek longevity, I will not regret it even if I 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 will send someone to inform you when a date has been set."

"In that case, it is so agreed. I live in the seventh house of the sixth row outside the city, so you may 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, "Manager, 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 Pavilion 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 for the profits brought in by the fleet to be enough to cover a quota. This matter is a steady investment." The woman in yellow was unperturbed.

"Rather..." she frowned her eyebrows, looking in the direction Li Fan had left and muttered to herself.

"What?" Sun Zhang couldn't help but ask.

"That person's eyes were a little frightening..." The yellow-clothed woman patted her chest, seemingly a little shaken.

Sun Zhang was stunned for a moment.

...

On the way back, Li Fan stopped at a pharmacy and bought the "Clear Heart Mantra" and the corresponding medicinal ingredients.

Even if everything went smoothly, it would still take two years for the Net Body Spirit Pool to open.

Such a long time couldn't be wasted.

Why not cultivate the "Clear Heart Mantra" first and see its effects? Maybe Li Fan had exceptional talents and could eliminate the miasma in his body in less than two years?

In the following days, Li Fan stayed at home practicing, waiting to meet with Steward Zhao.

Little did he know, that before he could meet Steward Zhao, Li Fan heard some shocking news.

Su Changyu was dead.
