had to be collected annually. Immortals generally did not intervene in worldly matters, making it difficult for ordinary people to see them. The day-to-day affairs of Liuli Island were usually managed by the Liuli Mansion established by the island master. Island residents could obtain a job within the Liuli Mansion. The higher the risk of the job, the higher the reward. Among these jobs, fishing for Liu Li Fish was the most popular. Apart from being relatively safe, the rewards were considerable. Moreover, when the harvested Liu Li Fish were handed over, only 70% of them needed to be turned in, while the remaining 30% could be sold privately. So, this fishing job was quite appealing. However, fishing required a large ship, and the schools of Liu Li Fish were elusive. Specific spirit guides from the island were needed to locate them. These spirit guides were only issued by the Liuli Mansion during fishing expeditions and had to be returned after returning to the island. Private fishing was impossible. If caught, the penalty was direct execution. Therefore, this fishing for Liu Li Fish was only allowed under the permission of the Liuli Mansion. Those who could go fishing were highly regarded by the island's residents. A few days ago, a fleet that had gone fishing not only had a great catch of Liu Li Fish but also encountered a sunken ship. This ship was said to have escaped with the family to avoid a disaster, so it carried more than a dozen boxes of gold, silver, and jewels! At this moment, the fleet had made a fortune. Regarding the salvaged items from the sunken ship, the island's rules were the same as for Liu Li Fish-they could keep 30% for themselves! So, when the fleet returned to the port, half the island was buzzing with excitement. Even the island's treasurer and money manager personally came to inspect. Seeing the fleet members almost grinning from ear to ear, many people on the island were envious. They began to privately seek connections, wanting to obtain the qualification for the next fishing trip. ... In Li Fan's view, he could slowly launder the countless treasures on the Tai Yan Boat using a similar method, with relatively low risk. The only difficulty lay in how to obtain the qualification for a solo fishing trip. The existence of the Tai Yan Boat must never be exposed. Too many people on the island wanted to join the fishing fleet. After inquiring casually, Li Fan learned the key information. Among the three trusted subordinates of the island master, Zhao, in charge of personnel matters, Qian, in charge of financial matters, and Zhou, in charge of public security, most of the fishing fleet quotas were in Qian's hands. Zhao and Zhou had always wanted to intervene, but the quotas were firmly controlled by Qian, and they only controlled one or two fishing fleets. Where there were people, there was conflict. Li Fan remembered Zhao's reaction when he saw him on the day of registration. He thought maybe he could meet this Zhao. However, Zhao wasn't someone Li Fan could easily meet now. Li Fan decided to follow Sun Zhang's approach with the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion. After inquiring about the location, Li Fan arrived at the door of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, wanting to meet Sun Zhang. However, he was turned away. "Go away, our Senior Sun has a distinguished status. Do you think you can just see him whenever you want? Hurry off!" Several big, intimidating men at the door looked at Li Fan malevolently, as if they were ready to act. Seeing this, Li Fan had no choice but to leave for now. He found it somewhat strange. The Heavenly Treasure Pavilion was a place of business after all. How could they just turn people away without seeing them? Moreover, these big men made decisions without seeking approval, as if they already knew who Li Fan was. "It must be that they received orders and intentionally avoided me," Li Fan concluded. He guessed that something had happened on the exile's side that made Sun Zhang turn hostile and not recognize them. After some inquiries, Li Fan finally learned what had transpired. It turned out that Su Changyu, in order to quickly get rid of the miasma in his body, chose to become an experimental subject for the immortals. Before leaving, Su Changyu signed his name on the final contract. Now, the three contracts were completed, and the final contract had completely dissipated. There was no longer any connection between the exile group and the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion. "No wonder they suddenly turned hostile and deliberately avoided us. I just didn't expect Su Changyu to be so determined," Li Fan sighed. "Ah, we tried to advise him, telling him not to be in such a hurry. But he wouldn't listen!" the person who spoke was also familiar to Li Fan-it was Xiao Heng, who had claimed to be the son of the Southern King in the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion cave. Xiao Heng seemed to have a very good relationship with Su Changyu and was extremely dejected at the moment. "If it weren't for his terminally ill sister, Brother Su wouldn't have fought so desperately." Hearing this, Li Fan was lost in thought.
