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 1160 steam train, ...
Chu Er took out a small knife from the drawer, pierced his palm, and rubbed the tip of the knife in the wound several times. Li Banfeng was very surprised: "Isn't it just to draw blood? Is it necessary to be so cruel?"
Chu Er smiled and said, "This is called pain connecting the heart. If there is no pain, how can I contact my father?"
She took out a pen, dipped it in her own blood and wrote a letter on the paper. The content of the letter was very simple. Chu Er wanted to meet Chu Shaoqiang at ten o'clock tomorrow night, and the location was agreed to be in the stone house by the lake.
Chu Er folded the letter, put it in his palm, rubbed it for a while, put the letter back into the drawer, and said to Li Banfeng: "The message has been sent out." Li Banfeng was stunned: "It was sent out immediately, can your father receive it?"
Chu Er was very confident: "Anyone who truly loves me can receive it. My dad always receives it." "Why haven't I seen you write me a letter?"
Chu Er heard this and opened the drawer on his right.
There were more than a hundred letters inside, each with blood stains on it: "These are all written to you." Li Banfeng blinked: "That's why I'm worried that your method won't work."
Chu Er snorted coldly: "You are so heartless. You have never felt sorry for me."
The next night, Chu Er took Li Banfeng to the stone house by the lake. Candles were flickering in the house, and Chu Shaoqiang had indeed come.
"You guys chat first, I'll walk around." Chu Er left quietly. Judging from her footsteps, her cultivation had improved a lot. Li Banfeng entered the stone house and pulled a chair to sit across from the stone table.
Chu Shaoqiang was wearing a gray-white coat with his collar pulled high. He lit a cigarette and asked Li Banfeng, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Li Banfeng said bluntly: "I want to do business with you. There is a local god in Xindi who is my friend. Half of her deed is in Neizhou, and I want to buy this half back." Chu Shaoqiang was choked by the smoke and coughed for a long time. He took out a tin frog from his pocket, wound it up, and put it outside the stone house.
The tin frog jumped around the lake at a very fast speed, then jumped into the lake and swam back and forth several times. When it jumped back to Chu Shaoqiang, Chu Shaoqiang was sure that no one was eavesdropping nearby.
"Can you just tell me this kind of thing?" Chu Shaoqiang was a little annoyed.
Li Banfeng also felt that it was too direct: "Then let me put it a little more obscurely. I want to buy it. Are you willing to sell it?"
Chu Shaoqiang shook his head repeatedly: "Don't even think about such a thing. The deeds of Neizhou have never been leaked outside." When he said "leak", Chu Shaoqiang couldn't control himself and spit out a string of soap bubbles.
Li Banfeng smiled and said, "Aqiang, we are sincere in doing business, so you should be more sincere." "Even if there are occasional leaks, it is not the kind of business you are talking about!"
When he said "生", he exhaled a little too much and blew out a big soap bubble. Li Banfeng smiled and said, "So what kind of business is this?"
"I don't know. I've never done this kind of business!" Chu Shaoqiang turned his back to Li Banfeng, and a large piece of soap bubbles slowly floated up in front of him. The peddler's soap was so useful that it could still work after such a long time.
Li Banfeng had found the right person. He thought Chu Shaoqiang could only give him some advice, but he didn't expect Chu Shaoqiang to have done the contract book business. "Ah Qiang, let's not be shy about it, just talk about the price."
Chu Shaoqiang turned around, wiped the soap bubbles from the corners of his mouth, and asked Li Banfeng: "Why do you want to buy the deed?" "Didn't I just say it? For a friend."
"Is it Meng Yuchun?" "How do you know?"
Chu Shaoqiang took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Li Banfeng: "This is from Rong Sijiao."
Li Banfeng opened the letter and saw that Rong Sijiao had complained to Neizhou, saying that Meng Yuchun and Li Banfeng had colluded to turn the new land into a regular land in order to break away from Neizhou's control.
"This is an act of treason, and it is outrageous to hear about it..." Li Banfeng picked out a few sentences from the letter and read them. He couldn't help but sigh that Liang Wucai's judgment on Rong Sijiao was very accurate. This kid turned against him so quickly.
"Aqiang, why didn't you send the deed to Neizhou?"
If Chu Shaoqiang said that he was thinking about the stability of Pro Province, he would probably be fussy. So he simply told the truth: "I originally planned to send her to Neizhou, but now I can't go back to Neizhou because Wujiang City and Wubian City are both suffering from plague."
Li Banfeng had never heard of these two place names, but he was more interested in the plague. "What kind of plague?"
"Herpes, black with red spots, is not fatal immediately after contracting, but it is difficult to eradicate after several treatments. This lesion came from Cuitik, a disciple of Lu Huazi. He used this lesion to destroy Desongya. You should know about this, right?"
Li Banfeng looked a little dazed, as if he was thinking about something else.
Chu Shaoqiang frowned slightly: "What are you thinking? You think Neizhou is weak and want to go to war with Neizhou?" Li Banfeng clasped his hands together and smiled honestly: "I would never do such a thing."
Chu Shaoqiang shook his head again and again: "Don't do it, don't even think about it. This epidemic can't defeat Neizhou. The territory of Neizhou is different from what you think, and the physique of Neizhou people is also different. An epidemic is nothing to them, especially those big shots, who are not affected at all. If you take action against them, this matter will be a big deal...
He spoke very quickly, and every word he said was very nervous, but he didn't make any bubbles, proving that he was speaking from the heart.
"Li Qi, I just made it clear to you that this epidemic is not fatal to the people of Neizhou, but it is difficult to cure. If you really want to fight, don't come to me for this matter." Li Banfeng laughed and said, "Who is looking for you to fight? I want to do business with you. Didn't I make it clear just now? What I want is the contract!"
Chu Shaoqiang thought for a moment and said, "The people of Neizhou once paid special attention to Meng Yuchun's deed." "Why did they pay attention to her?"
"Because Meng Yuchun has a deep grudge against Neizhou, after she left Neizhou, she did not respond to any of the tasks Neizhou gave her. Neizhou may punish her at any time, so it is very difficult to get her deed."
"So you can't get it?"
"It's not that we can't get it, but the price is very high," Chu Shaoqiang stretched out two fingers, "I want twenty Xuanyun Pills." "Xuanyun Pills?" Li Banfeng was stunned, "Exchange pills for the contract?"
Chu Shaoqiang nodded: "Xuan Yun Dan is the most precious elixir in the world. If Meng Yuchun had not been given special attention by Neizhou, thirteen Xuan Yun Dan could be exchanged for her contract. I will give four pills to each of the three Neizhou people who are in charge of the contract, and keep the remaining one for myself as a reward for my hard work.
But Meng Yuchun was taken care of. Each Neizhou person had to give them six pills. I also took a big risk. I had to pay for at least two pills. Together, that’s twenty pills.”
Under normal circumstances, the local god only needs thirteen Xuanyun Pills to redeem his contract. In Li Banfeng's opinion, it is not a lot, and there must be many people looking for Chu Shaoqiang to do business.
Li Banfeng said, "If I had known that you had such a path, I should have used the Xuanyun Pill to redeem the contract of Qiu Luoye and Shui Yongquan, and there wouldn't be so many twists and turns."
Chu Shaoqiang shook his head: "Qiu Luoye and Shui Yongquan have always been restless. They have always been given special attention by Neizhou, and the degree of care is much higher than that of Meng Yuchun. No matter how much elixir you spend, you can't buy back their deeds.
And as far as I know, Shui Yongquan once spent a lot of money to buy two Xuan Yun Dan, which almost bankrupted him. With the wealth of him and Qiu Luoye, what do you want them to use to exchange for a dozen or twenty Xuan Yun Dan?"
Li Banfeng knew that Shui Yongquan spent a large sum of money to buy Xuanyun Pill, but Shui Yongquan did not say that Chu Shaoqiang did not spit bubbles when he lost his entire fortune. He did not lie about this.
"Is the Xuan Yun Dan so expensive?"
Chu Shaoqiang looked at Li Banfeng with a look of disdain: "You don't even know the price of Xuanyun Pill, what business are you discussing with me?
I'll tell you, there are countless new lands in the state of Provo, and the number of people who can afford to buy back their deeds can be counted on one hand.
Xuan Yun Dan is the most precious elixir in the world. The precious elixirs in the world are all for replacing cultivation. Only Xuan Yun Dan can enhance the strength of the cultivator by consolidating the cultivator's foundation. "Li Banfeng couldn't think of any difference between the two.
Chu Shaoqiang gave a simple explanation: "For cultivators on the ground, their cultivation is calculated by time. It takes ten years to cultivate one level. Taking pills can replace time.
When we got to the clouds, time could no longer be used to calculate cultivation. The Snake Strip, Black Fiery, Purple Glow, and Golden Element pills that could replace time were all useless. Only the Black Fiber Pill was still useful.
Because Xuan Yun Dan is not a substitute for time, it is a reinforcement of one's own foundation. Only by building a solid foundation can one continue on the path of cultivation. It is a priceless treasure."
Li Banfeng didn't understand the concept of foundation: "How many Xuanyun Pills does a person need to take to completely strengthen his foundation?"
"It depends on the individual. I don't know exactly how much I should eat. With my physique, I probably need to eat for my entire life, until my physique becomes like that of the royal family of Neizhou. Only then can I continue on the path of engineering and repair!"
Royal family? Three heads?
"Are the Neizhou royal family members very strong?"
"The royal family's physique is so strong that it is flawless. Neizhou does not understand Taoism, and Purozhou's medicine powder cannot allow them to enter Taoism. If they knew Taoism, the royal family would have unified Neizhou long ago, and Purozhou would have been defeated by Neizhou long ago!"
Chu Shaoqiang felt that he had said too much, and no matter how much Li Banfeng asked, he didn't want to mention Neizhou anymore.
After smoking two cigarettes, Chu Shaoqiang stood up and said, "I have already told you about the business. You should consider it carefully. I advise you to find out more about the price of Xuanyun Pill. It is best to be prepared. Three days later, we will discuss it again at the same place and time."
Chu Shaoqiang left, and Li Banfeng sat silently in the stone house.
Li Banfeng currently has seventeen Xuanyun Pills in his hands. Due to the large number, Li Banfeng has not cherished them much.
But now think about it carefully, every time my wife counted the Xuan Yun Dan one by one, she should know how rare this thing is.
My wife is a housewife, and she usually doesn't want to eat this pill. If I really take out all 17 Xuanyun Pills, it would be like cutting out my wife's heart. No, business can't be done this way.
Ask Honglian if she can think of a solution.
Li Banfeng returned to Suishenju and went to Room 8, gently stroking Honglian: "Alian, what is the difference between Xuanyun Pill and ordinary pills?"
"There is no difference," Honglian answered nonchalantly, "better materials make better pills, and the steps of making pills are the same." "It's different, my wife told me that Xuanyun Pill is more precious than other pills."
Honglian stretched out a lotus leaf and hooked Li Banfeng's chin: "Then go ask your wife, why are you looking for me?" Li Banfeng smiled honestly: "My wife is not at home, so I came to look for you."
The record player was indeed not at home, busy doing experiments in the laboratory.
Honglian stretched out two lotus leaves, touched Li Banfeng's cheek and said, "Then just ask whatever you want to ask."
Li Banfeng went straight to the core of the problem: "The other pills you refined can directly change your cultivation level, why can't the Xuanyun Pill be used?" "Who said that my other pills can directly change your cultivation level?"
"Does this even need to be explained? The Snake-Spot Pill can be exchanged for one day's cultivation, the Black-Red Pill can be exchanged for ten days' cultivation, the Purple-Glowing Pill can be exchanged for thirty days' cultivation, and the Gold-Origin Pill can be exchanged for a hundred days' cultivation. Isn't this obvious?"
Honglian pinched Li Banfeng's cheek: "Who told you this? Did I say that?" Li Banfeng pushed aside the lotus leaves: "That's what everyone in Pro Province says."
Honglian smiled: "So do you believe them or me? I told you that all the pills are the same, why don't you believe it?" "The other pills you made are very similar, but the Xuanyun Pill is so special. I definitely think it is different."
"The lotus heart emitted a halo of light, and a lotus seed flew into Li Banfeng's hand: ""Don't you think this elixir is special?"""
Pop! The lotus seed exploded and two rusty pills popped out from inside.
Li Banfeng was frightened. He quickly put away the rust pill and turned back to get water to wash his hands.
"After washing it several times, it still couldn't be cleaned. Li Banfeng used the skill of sitting back and relaxing to let the remaining rust turn into water and flow out of his palm." "We won't compare this kind of unpopular elixir," Li Banfeng rubbed his palms, "What we are talking about now is the elixir related to cultivation."
"Honglian sighed:" "It's all the same, it's really all the same, why don't you believe me?" "Alian, I believe you, I always treat you as my own." Li Banfeng sat beside Honglian, gently stroking Lianxin, "But you want to say that the Rust Pill and the Mysterious Pill are the same..."
"I really don't understand." "You treat me as your own? When your woman comes back, will I become a bitch again?"
"Li Banfeng pursed his lips and said: "I don't think so in my heart. I still love you very much in my heart!" "Since you love me so much, take me out for a walk. Your woman runs outside all the time for no reason. Why don't you let me go out?"
""""It's not that I'm not going to let you go out. We just need to discuss this matter slowly.""""
"All the good things belong to that evil woman. When you come to me, everything has to be discussed slowly. Come to me after you have discussed it. If you have any problems in the future, go to that evil woman!"
Wow! After walking for a while, he returned to Room 8.
"All the lotus leaves were retracted, and the red lotus became a decoration, motionless." "I'm not going to ask you anymore!" Li Banfeng was a little angry and stood up and left. "
"Honglian was secretly delighted, but saw Li Banfeng picked Honglian up and sent her back to Room Nine. Honglian sprayed a drop of dew, which hit Li Banfeng. Hong Ying turned around and said, "Why do you take the elixir?" Don't you take the elixir?"
"Jiu Fang laughed and said:" "Good junior brother, you sent A Lian back! Sister A Lian, I've been bored without you these days. Come, let's have a good chat!" Li Banfeng returned to the main room, sat next to the dressing table, and asked Hong Ying:" Yingying, what do you think is the biggest difference between Xuan Yun Dan and other elixirs?"
"I don't eat that stuff. Isn't it up to yourself to practice?" "What do you mean by that?"
"Li Banfeng was stunned for a long time, and replied: "You are amazing." After leaving Suishenju, Li Banfeng went to the laboratory in Qiqiu City to find his wife. "
"My wife is using Zhao Xiaowan's body at the moment. She has just finished an experiment and is covered in sweat. Li Banfeng hurried over to wipe it off: "My wife, I have something to ask you, Xuanyun"
"What happened to the Xuan Yun Pill?" The lady was startled and quickly returned to the record player and took out the pill box from the front cabinet. She carefully counted the pills one by one. There were a total of seventeen pills in the pill box. The lady took a deep breath and put the pills away.
"Husband, what did you ask me just now?" Li Banfeng rehearsed in his mind:
Madam, please give me all the Xuan Yun Dan!
Sir, what do you want to do?
I want to take it and exchange it for a deed for a woman... If I say that, my wife will definitely be sad and I will definitely be hurt.
What's a more appropriate term?
"My husband, what are you thinking about?"
"No, ma'am, I didn't think of anything!"
"My husband, I have installed some goodies from the Dark Star Bureau on the Dark Bridge Cannon. Now the Dark Bridge Cannon can carry many more people." Li Banfeng became excited: "How many more people can it carry?"
The record player hugged Li Banfeng and said, "Guess it, my husband!" "Is it two hundred?"
The record player was stunned: "Husband, there were only three or five people before, and now they are saying two hundred, isn't that too much?" "How many is that?"
"Just barely... one hundred people." The record player was going to say eighty, but fearing that Li Banfeng would be too disappointed, he gritted his teeth and said one hundred. One hundred is not a small number, and perhaps it can turn into a big business.
Li Banfeng hugged his wife and kissed her twice, then took the record player and the puppet back home.
Hong Ying asked Zhao Xiaowan, "Does he like this wooden record player more, or that flesh and blood body?" Zhao Xiaowan sobbed, "He seems to be unable to tell the difference."
Upon hearing this, Hong Ying became alert: "What on earth can't he tell?" "He can't tell anything!"
Xiaowan wiped her tears, there was something lingering in her mind, she couldn't get rid of it: "My husband won't be in a hurry to use the hidden bridge cannon, right? If there really are a hundred people, I'm really not sure." Li Banfeng really planned to find a peddler.
There is not much difference between one hundred people and two hundred people. If we can rescue a group of people from Santoucha, we might as well give it a try first. They have suffered too much. It will be a gain for them if they can escape from Santoucha one day earlier!
He was about to call Luo Zhengnan to inquire about the whereabouts of the peddler, but Feng Daiku called first. "Mr. Li, Luo Lijun has gone crazy and wants to see you."
"Why is she going crazy?"
"I didn't ask in detail. She was sick with the plague, so I didn't dare to get close to her. She said that if she couldn't see you tomorrow, she would force her way into Pro Province even if it cost her life."
Li Banfeng went to the soda kiln overnight and took a look into the factory through the window. Luo Lijun and Luo Yanjun had both emerged from the pool, followed by a slightly smaller snail. The three snails were waving their tentacles together, and they looked very aggressive.
Feng Daiku was about to shout across the factory, but Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "No need to shout. I'll go in and take a look."
"They are carrying an epidemic disease." Feng Dai tried to stop Li Banfeng with a bitter look, but saw that Li Banfeng had already passed through the wall and entered the factory.
Li Banfeng is not afraid of the epidemic because he still has antibodies in his body. Even if the antibodies become ineffective, he can return to his home and resolve the disease.
"Ms. Luo, your current condition is..." Li Banfeng couldn't tell the difference between Luo Yanjun and Luo Lijun, so he deliberately made his address vague.
"I can't stand it anymore. The itching is so intense that it's driving me crazy! This disease came from Desong Cliff. It was caused by that foreigner. You must know that foreigner. You must have a solution!"
The three snails trembled together, revealing black blisters with red spots inside. Li Banfeng said, "Tell me slowly first."
"No time to waste! If this disease cannot be resolved today, I will rush out with my men and let everyone in Provo become infected!" Judging from the unreasonable attitude, this person is Luo Lijun.
A snail nearby said, "Mr. Li, we sisters have suffered so much. If this continues, who knows what will happen. You may not care if something happens to us, but there are others who haven't been in trouble. Those who haven't been in trouble are not good people. If this continues, I'm afraid you won't have a good life either."
This is Luo Yanjun, who speaks in a roundabout way.
Li Banfeng asked: "Can you explain it more clearly? You are in trouble, so why are we having a hard time?" Luo Yanjun wanted to explain, but she couldn't bear to do it. She was also suffering from the epidemic.
The youngest snail spoke up, "Because we don't like fighting, but we can't stand this disease, and now we are all dying. Although we won't die, we can't do anything. Those who can do things are those who love fighting. We will have to fight in the future. Do you understand me this time?"
The smallest snail spoke very bluntly, but Li Banfeng still had some details to verify: "Hasn't the warlike one been knocked down by the plague?" Luo Yanjun hit the little snail with her tentacles, signaling her not to talk nonsense.
But the little snail couldn't help it and continued, "The ones who love to fight are the Royal Roots. They are not afraid of the plague. You should get us some antidote as soon as possible. We really can't bear it anymore!" Royal Roots.
Three-headed man.
They are not even afraid of the epidemic. What kind of physique do they have?
"You really can't bear it anymore?" Li Banfeng raised his eyebrows. Xiao Tianluo nodded vigorously: "Really, I'm not lying to you!"
Luo Yanjun looked at Luo Lijun, who flicked her tentacles and sternly shouted, "What's the price? Just tell me!" After getting along for a long time, the two sisters have become quite good at understanding each other.
"The price is not cheap, and it's not certain that it will be successful."
Luo Lijun shouted, "Let's talk about the price first, let's not talk about whether it will work or not." Li Banfeng said, "I want the contract."
"Whose deed?" "More than one person." "How many do you want?"
"That depends on how many people you want medicine for."
The little snail was surprised and asked, "Is it the medicine that can cure the disease? We want 10,000 copies."
Luo Lijun pushed the little snail aside and shouted angrily, "Ten thousand copies? Can you give ten thousand deeds?
Li Qi, we need three people first. I'll exchange three deeds for them. Will you tell me tomorrow?" Li Banfeng nodded and asked Xiao Tianluo, "What's your name?"
The little snail said, "My name is Luo Shaojun."
"Was it the royal family's idea or yours that you came to Purozhou to look for medicine?" "We can't even handle it ourselves, so how can we care about the royal family?"
"You said you couldn't bear it anymore, is it just because of the itch?" "It's excruciatingly itchy. If you don't believe me, try it!"
"You don't have medicine in Nevada."
"I did. I took the bitterest medicine powder. It stopped working after two hours." "Are all the people over there itching?"
"That's not the case. Some of them..." Bang!
Luo Lijun waved her tentacles and hit Luo Shaojun's snail shell. The little snail Luo Shaojun took off on the spot and fell into the pool.
Li Banfeng likes this little girl Shaojun very much and answers whatever she asks.
"We'll talk about it tomorrow." Luo Lijun took Luo Yanjun away.
In the pool, Luo Yanjun asked, "Sister, if the three of us cured the disease, we wouldn't be able to explain ourselves when we go back, right?"
Luo Lijun said, "Why are you in such a hurry? As long as we can get one dose of the medicine, we will have 10,000 doses. Do you think those doctors and pharmacists are useless? My skin is itching so badly, can you help me scratch it?"
"Sister, you can't scratch it. The more you scratch, the more itchy it gets." "Just scratch it if I tell you to. Don't talk so much!"..
Desong Cliff, Deyuan Village, Cuitik is cultivating blood, with a can next to him, and the wild flower is in the can. He has not planted the seeds that Li Banfeng gave him before.
Li Banfeng asked, "Why haven't you planted yet?"
"Because we must first cultivate blood with antibodies to the diseased body before we can hope to cultivate humanoid plants that can survive in Desong Cliff," Cuitik put down the test tube and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "My technique is called No Grass Can Grow. Humanoid plants without antibodies cannot survive here. Dao Lao Gui's blood has enough antibodies, but the peddler does not allow them to survive here."
"Don't you have enough antibodies in your own blood?"
Cuitik shook his head and said, "That won't work. My blood contains more than just antibodies. If my blood and seeds are mixed together, I don't even know what will grow."
Li Banfeng looked at the dead silence of Desong Cliff and said: "You have to hurry up. If there are less than 100 people in the area of 100 miles, it will become a wasteland. I feel that this place will become a wasteland at any time."
"There are still a hundred people left. I've calculated that they can hold on for more than ten days." Cui Tik held Song Demei's head and placed it in front of Li Banfeng. Except for the skull, most of Song Demei's brain had turned into mud, but she was still alive.
"Since we have enough time, let's do something else. You spread a plague in Nevada. Do you have medicine that can cure the plague within a certain range?" Cuitik was stunned: "You want to cure the plague in Nevada?"
"I'm talking about a certain range. For example, if there are 10,000 people infected with the disease, can I choose three of them to cure them?" Cuitik thought for a long time and said, "It's a little difficult, unless I do it myself."
Li Banfeng smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble you to do it yourself."
Cuitik thought for a while and asked, "Is this the reward for helping me get the seeds?" "No." Li Banfeng shook his head.
"Then why would I do such a thing?"
"Because there is an extra reward," Li Banfeng looked at Desong Cliff again, "Although this is the real land, it can no longer accumulate popularity for you. I can give you a new land, a new land with complete deeds. Although it is still far from the real land, at least there is hope."
PS: What would happen if the three-headed man had the entry powder?
