Yin Yuzhen’s intuition told her that the endless benefits are sure to come in the future if she continued to help Li Fan.

Although she was unsure what kind of accomplishments this man would achieve in the future, Yin Yuzhen chose to trust her own intuition and helped Li Fan as best she could.

Thus, under the guidance of Yin Yuzhen, Tianbao Building was in full operation.

While collecting meteorite irons, in order to deceive, they also procured a large amount of other completely irrelevant materials.

Other forces on Liuli Island perceived the anomalies of Tianbao Building and sent people to investigate in secret.

However, there wasn’t much they could uncover under Yin Yuzhen’s preparedness.

Tianbao Building, following Li Fan’s idea, released a large amount of false information about Star Sea Quicksand. Other forces knew it might be a trick and initially chose to watch.

However, one of them decided to buy related items in large quantities with the idea “Buy first, say later, even if it’s fake it could still be resold”. This stirred them into action, causing them to join the purchasing ranks.

For a while, the price of goods on Liuli Island soared, and chaos was born.

Li Fan, the instigator of all this, was merely cultivating quietly in the Listening Ghosts Building.

Until three months later, Yin Yuzhen finally got in touch with the trader from the Tianhua Commerce Guild.

Early that day, Yin Yuzhen and Li Fan left Liuli Island on tianbao Building’s own little boat and traveled dozens of miles north to the seas agreed upon by both parties.

The boat was loaded with the goods for this transaction, full to the brim.

After midday, they finally welcomed the Wanhua Commercial Association.

A black dot in the sky rapidly enlarged, and it wasn’t until it was near Li Fan that it turned out to be a Flying Boat!

A bundle of flags fluttered on the Flying Boat, with a big “Wan” character written on it.

The Flying Boat, about fifty meters long, seemed to be only half the size of the second form of Tai Yan Boat.

The Flying Boat quickly arrived above everyone’s heads, then slowly stopped on the water surface.

“Boss Yin, long time no see! ” Following its stabilization, a hearty laughter emerged from the Flying Boat.

Yin Yuzhen looked at Li Fan, hoping to see a surprised expression on his face.

Unexpectedly, Li Fan showed no abnormalities even after seeing the Flying Boat of the Wanhua Commercial Association, as though he was used to seeing such wonders.

Yin Yuzhen felt a little disappointed, but became even more curious about Li

Fan.

Upon hearing the voice of the trader, Yin Yuzhen turned her head.

“Wu Xingzou, last time we met was three years ago, wasn’t it?” Yin Yuzhen replied with a smile.

“Time really flies.” Wu Xingzou sighed as he had already arrived on Tianbao Building’s boat.

“Who might this be?” He looking at Li Fan and asked with a smile.

“He’s the elder we’ve hired at Tianbao Building.” Yin Yuzhen simply answered.

Wu Xingzou, seeing that Yin Yuzhen didn’t want to say more, tactfully refrained from asking further.

“Let’s check the goods then. I’m afraid we won’t be able to meet again after this transaction.”

Yin Yuzhen was taken aback at this: ‘What do you mean by this? Has something happened?”

Wu Xingzou shook his head: “I’m not quite sure of the specific reason myself. Just a few days ago, I suddenly received a notice from our headquarters that all the traders in the Misthaven Ocean should cease all business and return as soon as possible.”

“If it hadn’t been for the already agreed trading day with you, I’m afraid I’d be on my way back by now.”

“So this transaction mustn’t be delayed, it must be done as soon as possible.”

This left Yin Yuzhen somewhat flustered. It was due to its backing by the Wanhua Commercial Association that Tianbao Building was able to flourish on Liuli Island.

Now that the Wanhua Commercial Association suddenly wanted to withdraw from the Misthaven Ocean, what would become of Tianbao Building’s business in the future?

Could she still hold on to Tianbao Building?

Why hadn’t her intuition given her any reaction this time?

With her mind in chaos, Yin Yuzhen was momentarily stupefied.

“Boss Yin?” Seeing Yin Yuzhen spacing out, Wu Xingzou couldn’t help but remind her.

Yin Yuzhen forced a smile and came back to her senses.

She entered the cabin to count the goods for the transaction.

“Sixteen sets of Jade Bi, twenty-three pieces of coral, forty-six Nightfall Pearls…” Li Fan led Wu Xingzou carefully through the various goods.

Wu Xingzou occasionally picked up one of the items to observe the quality closely.

Then he nodded and put it down carefully.

“Star Sea Quick Sand, three pieces.” When they reached the middle, Li Fan reported with an unchanged expression.

Wu Xingzou’s face brightened up and he quickly walked over to the pieces of meteorite iron.

He gently touched it with his hand and then turned the meteorite iron over for a thorough inspection.

Seeing this, Li Fan realized that Wu Xingzou was no ordinary person.

Each of these meteorite irons was at least fifty jin heavy, yet they seemed like toys in his hands.

“Boss Yin, you’re in luck this time. You’ve managed to gather something as good as Star Sea Quick Sand.”

Li Fan and Yin Yuzhen shared a glance, relieved.

It was confirmed that what Xiao Heng said was right.

Tianbao Building took advantage first and obtained quite a lot of Star Sea Quick Sand.

The quota for the Spirit Cleansing Pond should be secured smoothly.

There wasn’t anything valuable afterward, and Wu Xingzou was quite satisfied with the goods provided by Tianbao Building this time.

Moreover, due to the reason that the two sides won’t be able to meet for a long time, he specially invited Li Fan and Yin Yuzhen to be guests on the Wanhua Commercial Association’s Flying Boat.

After a satisfying meal, Wu Xingzou led the two to the warehouse of the Flying Boat.

“These are all collected from the various islands in the Misthaven Ocean, some are priceless, some I’m not clear about their use. I thought they were interesting, so I bought them on impulse. If you two are interested, you can pick some.” Wu Xingzou, who had a great time drinking, said with a somewhat proud expression as he looked at the dazzling array of treasures.

Upon hearing these words, Yin Yuzhen was fairly excited. Given her ability to capitalize on good fortune and avert disaster, wasn’t being here like a rat falling into a rice jar?

Li Fan originally didn’t have much interest, but seeing Yin Yuzhen eager to start, he didn’t feel good to refuse, so he accompanied her on a walk inside.

“You only have the time of an incense stick’s burning!” Wu Xingzou seemed very interested in this game and shouted at the two.

Yin Yuzhen did not listen, she was extremely excited as she darted around the warehouse.

There were at least a thousand treasures here, even though she could capitalize on good fortune and avoid disaster, and could barely distinguish their values, she was still dazzled for a time.

Li Fan, on the other hand, was bored, casually picking up an item to look at, then quickly putting it down.

Having cycled through nine lives and experienced the ups and downs of life in three hundred years, what worldly treasures has he not seen?

As long as it wasn’t associated with Cultivation, he didn’t care about it.

Although Wu Xingzou was much stronger than ordinary people, he was clearly not a Cultivator, only involved in worldly business.

How could there be anything here for him, Li Fan, to care about?

As Li Fan was thinking this, his body abruptly froze as he touched one of the items.

Because the “Real” prompt suddenly popped out.

“Found a rechargeable item, whether to recharge..”
