His name is Li Banfeng—”Feng” as in “mountain peak,” not “madness.” The doctor confirmed he is not insane.
To save a friend’s life, he stepped onto Platform 96, boarded the 11...
Mr. Yao asked Li Banfeng to go to Haichiling to deliver the prescription to Pan Dehai.
Li Banfeng asked first: "Who is Pan Dehai?"
"The big gourd handle on the top of the mountain."
The big boss should be the local god, right?
The big boss of Haichiling is a man of virtue.
Is there any inevitable connection between moral cultivation and foodies?
"What level is his cultivation at?" This is a question that Li Banfeng has always been curious about, but after asking it, he estimated that Mr. Yao would not answer.
If the local god's cultivation level were revealed, it would be equivalent to revealing Elder Yao's own cultivation level.
As expected, Elder Yao did not say clearly: "I can't tell exactly how high Pan Dehai's cultivation is, but it should be no less than mine."
Li Banfeng asked again: "Why do you trust me?"
"I just said that you are a capable person since you can cross the border from Xindi. Besides, you and I have similar personalities and will not use my prescription to do evil. So, are you willing to go?"
The major families are likely to have disputes in Haichiling, and Li Banfeng doesn't want to get involved.
But this also depends on the capital. Mr. Yao paid a generous reward.
With this wine gourd, Li Banfeng is like owning a winery. He can get Yao Lao's medicinal wine anytime and anywhere. Whether it is used to set fires or treat diseases, this medicinal wine is of the best quality.
Besides, this map not only allows Li Banfeng to walk back to Lanyang Village, but also allows Li Banfeng to go to multiple places without a pass. In Pro Province, this is a very rare treasure.
After careful consideration, Li Banfeng agreed to the deal.
A map, a prescription, and a wine gourd appeared in front of Li Banfeng.
A woman's voice came from the wine gourd: "Good wine, good wine!"
It really is a magic weapon!
But why is it a woman?
Are there any women in this world who are addicted to alcohol?
The stuff was delivered ahead of time.
Li Banfeng said quickly, "Mr. Yao, I don't have much cash on hand. I'll send you the 500,000 yuan later."
Mr. Yao didn't care about the money at all: "It's not a big deal, just write down the route first."
The map on the table was unfolded, and a water mark appeared on the map, with a strong smell of wine.
This water trail covers Yaowanggou, Lushuiwan, Kudaikan, Haichiling, Kucaizhuang, Jianrengang and Tiemenbao.
This is the route that Mr. Yao drew for Li Banfeng.
"There is more than one road in the new land, but you must remember that you must follow the road I drew. Other roads are too dangerous and you cannot walk on them with your current ability.
"When you need to cross a mountain, you must cross it; when you need to cross a ridge, you must cross it; don't take a detour, don't take a detour at all."
"Mr. Yao, now that I'm at Haichiling, how can I contact Pan Dehai?"
"First prepare a few ready-made medicines. When you get to the disaster area, kill more insects. Pan Dehai will be able to see it and will naturally show up to ask for the prescription.
It's not easy for you to deliver the medicine all the way, he should give you a reward, as long as he asks for it, don't be polite, give him a big reward,
But if he gives you a magic weapon, you should try to sell it. No matter how valuable it is, don't be reluctant to part with it.
There is a thing called a tape recorder in other states. You should have heard of it. The magic weapons in his hands all have tape recorders. If you are not careful, your secrets will be leaked out. "
Sold?
Magical weapons are not easy to transfer and cannot be sold in a day or two.
As long as the magic weapon is with Li Banfeng, it must be kept in his personal residence. If this matter is leaked out, Li Banfeng will suffer a great loss.
If it really doesn't work, don't use the magic weapon, just ask for money directly, which is the most cost-effective.
Yao Lao continued, "Pan Dehai speaks well, he will probably make a lot of promises to you, but you just treat them as bullshit.
If he turns hostile to you, you should tell him that if he hurts you, he will be at odds with me, Old Yao. If he falls into my hands, I will get back at him with interest!"
Li Banfeng agreed to the deal. After the ashes were cleared and Old Yao left, Li Banfeng took a Jinyuan Pill and a Lanye Pill. Adding the time he had saved from running around in the new place, he only had less than half a year left to complete the third level of cultivation.
After resting in the inn for more than five hours, Li Banfeng recovered and went back to his residence to take a nap to ensure that his practice would not be delayed.
The next day, at eight o'clock in the morning, Li Banfeng left the inn and went to four pharmacies first, bought a bunch of herbs, and asked the pharmacies to grind them for him.
The reason why he didn't buy it from a pharmacy was that he was afraid that the prescription would be leaked. For this reason, Li Banfeng specially bought a lot of useless medicinal materials and stored them in his portable home.
Back at the inn, Li Banfeng prepared the medicine according to Mr. Yao's prescription.
Is it easy to dispense medicine?
It's not that simple. Li Banfeng is not a medicine practitioner. He took the prescription and looked up the names and weighed the herbs one by one, but he couldn't make a prescription after a long time.
"Little brother, have a drink of wine, warm yourself up and take a break." The wine gourd jumped close to Li Banfeng.
Li Banfeng looked the gourd up and down and asked, "Is your wine drinkable?"
"Why can't I drink it? You're right. My wine can cure diseases, relieve cravings, strengthen the yang, and drive away the cold. It's your blessing to be able to drink a sip!"
Li Banfeng took a sip and found it tasted really good.
"Little brother, you can't mix medicine like this. If you weigh every ingredient, won't that tire you to death?
Weigh what needs to be weighed, and if it doesn’t, you should have a clear sight in your hand! "
Jiuhulu helped Li Banfeng prepare medicine while feeding him wine.
This job was not tiring at all. I prepared more than a hundred prescriptions of medicine in just one morning.
The wine gourd is very intelligent, obviously superior to the Tang sword.
After preparing the medicine, it was already noon. Li Banfeng went to Yu's cloth shop. The shop had not opened yet and only Wang Xuejiao was guarding the door.
Li Banfeng took out 500,000 yuan in cash and asked Wang Xuejiao to take it to Yu Nan and then pass it on to Mr. Yao. He also gave her an extra 2,000 yuan as a reward for Wang Xuejiao.
When he reached the intersection of Paifang Street, Li Banfeng felt that something good was going to happen, so he stopped and looked around.
He was looking for someone, the rickshaw driver with the steam-powered wheels.
He actually found it. There were two waiting points for the driver, one at the station and the other in Ligou. He was lying in his car and sleeping. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see him.
Li Banfeng stepped forward and carefully woke him up. The driver rubbed his eyes, looked at Li Banfeng, and smiled, "Do you need a car?"
Li Banfeng nodded: "Let's go to Sanpanhe New Land."
"Sanpan River? So far? Is it urgent?"
"No hurry, let's walk slowly."
"How much do you give?"
"You name a price."
"If you're not in a hurry, we'll have to walk for half a day."
"I'll take care of the food."
The driver calculated and offered a price: "Three thousand five!"
Li Banfeng didn't bargain and got into the car directly.
Although he said there was no rush, the driver still drove the cart very fast because the journey was indeed quite far.
After leaving Ligou and walking for two hours, it was time for lunch. Li Banfeng asked, "Should we find a place to eat, or just have a bite to eat?"
"There's no village in front and no shop behind, where can we find a suitable place to eat? We'll just have to eat something simple!" The driver wiped his sweat and took out the cakes he brought with him.
He understood what Li Banfeng meant. He spent so much money and took his car because he wanted to ask him some advice on spiritual practice.
Li Banfeng brought a few canned foods with him, which went perfectly with the pancakes, and the two of them ate while chatting.
The driver asked, "Are you going to the new land to open up wasteland?"
Li Banfeng shook his head: "I want to go and practice. They all say that traveling and practicing in a new place will improve your cultivation faster."
"Those who cultivate quickly will die quickly," the driver snorted coldly, "I wonder why you guys are always thinking about risking your lives. Isn't it better to cultivate steadily like me?"
"Speaking of cultivation, there is something I want to ask you. What is the name of the third level of the travel cultivation technique?"
"The third floor?" The driver snorted coldly, "You've only been on the first floor for a few days, and now you're thinking about the third floor?"
Li Banfeng explained: "I entered the new land and planned to practice for more than ten years. I think I can reach the third level at least. If I can't learn the skills when I reach that level, wouldn't it be a big loss?"
The driver sighed, "Can you survive in Xindi for more than ten years? Why do you think so highly of yourself?"
Li Banfeng smiled and said, "It depends on luck and opportunity. Maybe I am lucky."
The driver shook his head and said, "If you want to ask about something else, I can tell you. If you want to ask about the skills, the price is not right. For the second-level skills, you should give me at least 10,000. For the third-level skills, that's another matter."
When I asked him about one level of technique, he charged me five hundred.
Now the second level of technique costs 10,000.
How much would he need for the third level of skills? Would 100,000 be enough?
One hundred thousand is actually reasonable. The rarity of second-level cultivators far exceeds that of first-level cultivators. Third-level cultivators are even rarer, and their techniques are becoming more and more secretive, so it is reasonable that they are sold at a higher price.
"Someone told me about the second-level technique. I just want to ask about the third level. We can still negotiate the price."
The driver still refused: "This is not about money. There are very few people who can practice the third level of travel. How can I tell you this technique casually? Even if you give me 100,000..."
Li Banfeng took out two Xuan Chi Dan and gave them to the coachman.
The driver looked at the quality of the Xuan Chi Pill and put it away. "We are from the same sect. I see it is not easy for you to venture into a new place alone, so I will give you some advice.
The third level of our Taoist technique is called "Trampling Ten Thousand Rivers."
What does it mean to break through all the rivers and lakes?
Li Banfeng analyzed the words literally and asked, "Is this technique particularly useful when crossing mountains and ridges?"
The driver didn't say anything. He stood up and took a step forward while eating from a can.
Bang!
The footsteps hit the ground with a crisp sound, which scared Li Banfeng so much that he shivered.
In front of the driver's toes, a fist-sized stone turned into dust.
Li Banfeng was stunned.
This technique is so powerful.
The driver looked down at Li Banfeng and said, "This is one of the most powerful fighting techniques in our Taoist sect. Our Taoist techniques are not difficult to learn, but the third-level technique is an exception. This technique is extremely difficult.
When you first enter the third level, you can crush a stone the size of a fingertip. Even if you are lucky, as your cultivation increases, your third level skills will improve. However, how much you improve depends on your talent and your understanding.
When using this technique, you must have courage and resolution, concentrate your mind and strength on your feet. Even if there are thousands of troops ahead of you, you have to believe that you can carve out a bloody path!
Many of our Taoist practitioners cannot learn the skill of Trampling Ten Thousand Rivers. If they cannot learn the third-level skill, they cannot advance to the fourth level. Therefore, there are very few fourth-level practitioners in our Taoist sect.
And after learning this technique, you have to use it with caution. The skill of stepping through thousands of rivers consumes a lot of energy. We, the travel cultivators, have excellent endurance, but when we step out with all our strength, 50% of our energy is used up.
Don’t use your full strength unless it’s absolutely necessary. Once you’ve used your full strength, never use it a second time. How you release and how you hold back depends on your own ability.”
Li Banfeng stood up, thanked the driver and bowed deeply.
A third-level cultivator can only crush stones the size of a fingertip.
The driver crushed the fist-sized stone with one foot, and he certainly didn't use his full strength.
what does that mean?
This means that his cultivation may have reached the fifth level, or even higher.
It was only right for Li Banfeng to do this to receive his guidance.
"We're full now, it's time to get on the cart." The driver prepared to drive the cart.
Li Banfeng did not get in the car: "Senior, I feel uneasy when you pull me along. I will walk the rest of the way by myself. Can you give me some pointers on the fourth level skills? The price is negotiable."
Li Banfeng prepared to take out the Zihuan Pill.
If the driver doesn't like it, Li Banfeng is even willing to give him the Jinyuan Pill.
The driver smiled and said, "Little brother, skills are the basis of a cultivator's life. I teach you skills not only for the two pills, but also because I appreciate the friendship between us.
You asked me directly about the third level of skills. I guess you have already reached the second level. I am happy to see a genius like you emerge from our sect.
If it were someone from another sect, even if they placed a mountain of gold in front of me, I would not tell him the technique, because that would be like cutting off his own path to cultivation.
You learned the third level skills from me, and you shouldn't tell others, but I can't control your mouth, so don't ask me about the skills after the third level. When you are about to reach the fourth level, if you are still alive, I will tell you.
Please remember what I told you before, when you are out there, you have to be careful with every step you take."
Li Banfeng didn't dare to force it and stood up to say goodbye.
The driver waved his hand and said, "You have already paid the fare. I must take you to your destination. Hurry up and get in the car. I have my own rules."
Along the way, the driver continued to pull the cart at the original speed and sent Li Banfeng to the entrance of the new land in Sanpanhe.
Sanpan River is a river that flows on time.
Why is it called Flow on Time?
Because the river water changes every eight hours, and three times a day, it is named Sanpan River.
From eight in the morning to four in the afternoon every day, the Sanpan River is very gentle, with gurgling water and knee-deep water, no different from an ordinary creek.
From four in the afternoon to twelve at night, the river suddenly dried up, not a drop of water was left, and there was not even mud in the riverbed. Except for some traces of river scouring, other places were no different from ordinary flat land.
After midnight, huge waves hit and the river suddenly overflowed. The water was five or six meters deep and all the land on both sides was submerged.
Fortunately, the Sanpan River is not long, flowing less than thirty miles and flowing into the underground through the underground cave.
But no one can withstand the floods every day. No one lives near Sanpan River, and few people come to this new land to open up wasteland or hunt.
The best way to enter the Sanpan River is to walk upstream along the river when there is no water.
You can also walk through the wasteland on both sides of the river bank, but there are too many ferocious beasts on the river bank and you can't walk fast. When the Sanpan River floods, you can't retreat or advance, and things will be troublesome.
It was just eight o'clock in the evening when Li Banfeng arrived at the river. There was no water in the river, so there was still plenty of time.
Walking quickly, in less than half an hour, Li Banfeng entered the new place.
After walking another fifteen miles upstream along the river, Li Banfeng saw a mountain.
According to the instructions on the map, this mountain is called Blood Tooth Mountain. To get to the first stop of Haichiling, you have to cross Blood Tooth Mountain first.
Why does this name sound so creepy?
Li Banfeng was looking for the way up the mountain when he heard someone behind him say, "Passerby, you can't go up this mountain. Bloodfang Mountain is the territory of the Bloodfang Monster. If you encounter it, not even a bone will be left of you."
ps: Bloodfang Mountain is a particularly fun place.
