Chapter 27: Wisdom to recognize talents

Su Changyu couldn’t survive after all.

After only seven or eight days, Su Changyu couldn't hold on anymore and died.

When his body was brought back, Li Fan took a look.

There is only a twisted mass of flesh and blood left, no human appearance at all, and it looks terrifying.

The flesh and blood even occasionally twitches inexplicably, making one's scalp numb.

These people from Lijie are new here and can’t even raise the money to buy a cemetery.

Originally, he was going to bury her at sea, but Li Fan couldn't bear it anymore and took some money, so that Su Changyu could be buried in peace.

Everyone is very sad.

Among them, Xiao Heng cried the hardest.

Li Fan didn't feel anything special, just a little bit sad.

After living in reincarnation for nearly three hundred years, Li Fan has his own way of recognizing people.

In his opinion, this Su Changyu is decent in his conduct and has a firm mind. Although he is not a once-in-a-century figure, he is definitely not a mediocre person.

Among this group of outliers, I thought he was the one most likely to make a name for himself.

Such a person, who could not even pass the prerequisite for the practice of eliminating miasma, died silently.

The path to immortality is difficult!

Li Fan sighed with emotion at his rebirth.

In the process of practicing the "Xuanhuang Qingxin Mantra", Li Fan's feelings about this became more and more profound.

Facts have proved that Li Fan is not a talented person.

For nearly a month, Li Fan lived in seclusion every day. Except for taking a job to cover up others' eyes, he spent the rest of the time hiding at home and practicing the Heart-Purifying Mantra.

Generally speaking, after half a month of practice, ordinary people will have obvious effects such as better spirits and faster thinking speed.

But a month has passed, and Li Fan didn't feel any changes.

Li Fan guessed that it might be because his mental strength has been reincarnated several times and has been tempered for hundreds of years, which is far beyond that of ordinary people, so the effect of the Purifying Mantra on him is not that great.

Li Fan is not in a hurry, he just regards it as a daily practice exercise.

After another half a month, Li Fan finally arrived at the people from Tianbao Tower.

Li Fan followed the messenger and met Manager Zhao in a courtyard of his home in Tianbao Tower.

"Manager Zhao, long time no see." Li Fan cupped his hand.

Manager Zhao glanced at Li Fan and went straight to the point: "I heard from the people in Tianbaolou that you want to apply for a place to go to sea in a fleet. You have a big appetite. What can you rely on?"

"You know, I only have two available. I don't have enough for my men, so why should I give them to you?"

"The fleet goes out to sea just for profit. I wonder what Manager Zhao thinks, how does the profit from catching glass fish compare with directly fishing out the treasure from the sunken ship at the bottom of the sea?" Li Fan smiled slightly.

As if he didn't think that Li Fan was talking big words, Manager Zhao thought carefully for a while: "I also heard about the unexpected harvest of more than ten boxes of jewelry by the fleet a few days ago. After calculation by the government, the harvest was worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

I got it from a regular fishing trip. But how can such a good thing happen every time? I have been on this island for more than ten years, and I only have a few big harvests in my memory."

He paused and then asked: "What do you mean, you..."

Li Fan nodded: "If I were in charge of a fleet, I can guarantee that every time I go to sea, I will bring back a certain amount of treasure."

Manager Zhao's eyes glowed with a strange light. He stared at Li Fan carefully for a few times and said in surprise: "He didn't lie."

Now it was Li Fan's turn to be a little surprised: "I did not lie, but I don't know how Manager Zhao could tell."

Manager Zhao chuckled: "I have had a pair of strange eyes since I was a child. I can recognize capable people and distinguish true from false. When you spoke just now, I only saw a soft white light on your body, which proves that what you said is true, and there is no truth in it."

You have evil intentions. If there are bursts of black energy, it proves that you have other intentions."

"You actually have such a strange skill?" Li Fan was immediately surprised. "On the day of naturalization, Manager Zhao's attitude towards me seemed to be slightly different from others. But what can you tell?"

"I can only see a rough outline, how can I know everything? I only see that you are very rich and have a lot of blood on your hands. You are obviously not an ordinary person. That's why I am just being polite to you." Manager Zhao smiled.

, explained. "God's will is unpredictable. Who knows what achievements people like you can achieve in the future? It's better to make a good relationship first."

Li Fan nodded, but then heard Manager Zhao sigh with emotion: "In recent years, disasters have occurred frequently. There are countless people like you who are rich and powerful but live on our Liuli Island. Some people are just dormant.

After a few years, they will ride on the wind again; some will disappear from the public and turn into white bones."

Li Fan listened and suddenly thought of something: "So, when we were naturalized that day, you saw that what Tianbaolou Sun Zhang said was untrue?"

"So what if it's true, so what if it's false? Sometimes being too true may not be a good thing. My duty is just to ensure that there are no people on the island who try to subvert. No matter where you come from, as long as you stay safe, I won't take you.

How about it?" Manager Zhao said disapprovingly. "There is an immortal master on the island, so we are not afraid of trouble."

"Besides, gathering the victims is also the order of the Immortal Master. Sun Zhang can lead so many 'disaster victims' to my Liuli Island, how can I embarrass him?"

Li Fan listened and had a general understanding of Manager Zhao's principles of doing things.

So the topic between the two returned to the seagoing fleet.

"Since Manager Zhao can see that what I said is true, can you consider the quota for overseas travel?" Li Fan asked.

Manager Zhao tapped his fingers on the table a few times and then said: "You are a newcomer and have no foundation. If I rashly hand over the fleet to you, it will definitely cause a lot of dissatisfaction."

"How about this, next time you go to sea, you will come with me. If you can really salvage treasure every time you go to sea, then within a few times, the crew will definitely be convinced by you. Then you can legitimately take over the fleet."

"Even if you gain enough, I would like to advise the palace master that it is not impossible to steal another fleet from Qian and hand it over to you."

"Manager Zhao is thoughtful and considerate." Li Fan does everything he can.

So things were settled so smoothly and exceptionally.

Tianbaolou did not know the details of the conversation between the two, but was shocked when he learned that Li Fan easily convinced Manager Zhao and got a place for the next overseas trip.

"Didn't that uncle lie? Is he really sure of winning a fleet?" In Tianbao Tower, the woman in yellow held her chin with her hand, her eyes twinkling.

"I wonder what he has to rely on?" Sun Zhang was also extremely puzzled. No matter how he looked at Li Fan, he was an ordinary middle-aged man who couldn't be more ordinary.

"Send him the title deed of the vacant small yard on the East Street of the city." The woman in yellow suddenly said.

"Ah?" Sun Zhang didn't react for a moment.
