Xiaopang had no objection to the idea of forming a partnership. To be honest, he and Li Banfeng were not really acquaintances. They had only met once at the peddler's place.
The reason why I took so much care of Li Banfeng along the way was to make friends with him.
Now that he met the expert, Qin Xiaopang with gold-rimmed glasses, naturally would not refuse and agreed immediately.
He agreed, and the four people around him also agreed.
He is an expert and speaks so sincerely. There is really no reason to refuse him.
These four people were a middle-aged man in his fifties, named Lao Yan Pao, who claimed to be a first-level smoker and never let go of his pipe.
A plump and pretty woman in her twenties, named Youtao, claimed to be a physical cultivator, but had just started and had no level.
A teenage girl of about fourteen or fifteen years old, named Cao Ye, claimed to be a medicine practitioner, but she had just started and had no level yet.
A young man in his early twenties, named Hugaozi, claimed to be a first-level martial artist.
Their names are obviously not real, and as for their cultivation and Taoism, it is hard to say whether they are true or false.
Qin Xiaopang's origin had already been guessed by the man with gold-rimmed glasses, so he simply admitted it generously: "My name is Xiaopang, I am a food cultivator, not a master."
When Li Banfeng was asked, he replied: "My name is Baisha, I am a happy cultivator, I have no level."
Xiaopang was stunned and stared at Li Banfeng for a long time.
At the beginning, he called himself Li Qi, so it doesn’t matter whether Baisha is his real name or not.
But when did he become Huan Xiu?
Isn't it Travel Repair?
Is he deliberately not telling the truth to the man with gold-rimmed glasses?
So was he telling me the truth?
The man with gold-rimmed glasses was also very curious and asked Li Banfeng, "Are you Huan Xiu? Are you here alone?"
Huan Xiu usually appears in pairs with his partner to facilitate practice.
Li Banfeng pointed at Qin Xiaopang and said, "I came here with him."
Everyone's eyes were focused on Qin Xiaopang. Qin Xiaopang was silent for a moment, untied the bag behind him, revealed the dry food inside, and said to everyone:
"I am a food cultivator. I can eat five kilograms of dry food in one meal. Sometimes I can eat ten kilograms. I really am a food cultivator. I am not lying to you. I will eat it right now to show you."
The man with gold-rimmed glasses said to everyone, "My name is Kaishan, and I'm a level 1 traveler. I like to travel to famous mountains and rivers. I've been to Kuwu Mountain several times before. I'll definitely remind you of some places along the way."
Tiger Lamb said, "Brother Kaishan, we all trust you. You are our leader. We picked the flowers and according to the rules of the underworld, we will give you 20%. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, everyone became unhappy.
You said to split it up, so let’s split it up. Have you asked us about this?
The man with gold-rimmed glasses shook his head again and again: "I can't take your flowers. These flowers were bought with my life.
I don’t have any favors towards you. I help you and you help me. This is a matter of mutual care.”
After hearing this, everyone showed even more respect for the man with gold-rimmed glasses, and naturally gave the position of leader to him.
The people from the drug store were vaguely visible in the thick fog, and the man with gold-rimmed glasses was following slowly behind him with everyone else.
There is a stone bridge ahead, more than one meter wide, which can accommodate two or three people passing side by side.
"This is called the No Regrets Bridge," the man with gold-rimmed glasses lifted his nose clip, "You may feel a little uncomfortable in your throat, but this is because you have already smelled the poisonous fog.
After crossing the No Regrets Bridge, you will reach the territory of Kuwu Mountain. Everyone, I don’t know whether the cultivation you reported is true or false, but I sincerely advise you that if you don’t have cultivation, don’t go forward.
Every year, there are people without any cultivation who want to try their luck at Kuwu Mountain. However, no one who goes up can come back alive.
I am not blocking your path to wealth, I am advising you to think twice before you act.”
Everyone looked at each other and said nothing. Tiger Kozi sneered, "Brother Kaishan, you have said so much. If there is still someone who doesn't understand the situation, he will be seeking his own death.
Little girl, I think you are a person without cultivation. If it were you, I would tell you to leave quickly. It’s not too late.”
The little girl's name was Cao Ye. She lowered her head and blushed as she said, "I am really a medicine practitioner. I understand pharmacology and can help."
Tiger Kouzi glanced at Old Smoke Cannon again and said, "You old bones, even if you really have some skills, they are useless in the mountains, right?"
The old smoker smiled and said, "We'll see whether it works or not."
No one wanted to retreat, so the group of seven crossed the bridge.
When he reached the other side of the bridge, Li Banfeng felt his throat tighten and he began to cough.
Li Banfeng entered the Taoist sect with the help of daylight. Unlike the others who had long-term accumulation, the difference in physical fitness was revealed.
The man with gold-rimmed glasses frowned and said, "Brother, you really have some skills, right?"
Li Banfeng nodded: "Yes, I am happy to practice."
The old smoker smiled and said, "Huan Xiu is physically weak, so it makes sense that he can't stand the bitter fog."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at Qin Xiaopang.
Qin Xiaopang puffed out his chest and said, "I am a food cultivator."
The man with gold-rimmed glasses said to Li Banfeng, "Brother, when you get to the mountain, if you can't hold on any longer, get down as soon as possible. Don't lose your life for the sake of greed."
Cao Ye took out a palm-sized cloth bag from his arms and took out a piece of candy from the bag.
"Brother, take a piece of candy, it will work."
Medicinal candy?
What is this?
Li Banfeng looked at the candy, wondering whether to eat it.
Seeing that Li Banfeng was a little hesitant, Cao Ye put the candy in his mouth and gave Li Banfeng another one: "Brother, I'm not a bad person."
If we don’t collect it, it will be a bit unreasonable.
Li Banfeng put one in his mouth, and the cool and slightly sour juice slid into his throat, and the dryness and itchiness disappeared instantly.
No more coughing, this stuff really works.
Li Banfeng thanked them and continued walking forward with the crowd. After walking for more than half an hour, they finally arrived at the foot of the mountain.
The winding dirt road extends upward from the foot of the mountain. The visibility is only 20 to 30 meters, and the entire picture of the mountain cannot be seen.
"Sister, give me one too. I'll give you the money after I sell the flowers." The plump beauty Nectarine also started coughing and asked Cao Ye for a candy.
The mountain path was narrow and steep. Everyone stood in a line and walked up. Li Banfeng happened to be walking behind Youtao.
Li Banfeng has seen many beautiful girls, but a figure like Youtao's is rare.
She had hand-pushed wavy hair and wore a red and green cheongsam. Her shoulders and back were smooth and her waist was slender.
Especially the two peach petals below the waist, which are proudly round, and have a unique delicacy and spirituality between their huge size.
No wonder she is called Nectarine.
This peach is absolutely impeccable.
She was right in front of me, swaying with every step, every step...
Did she really come to the mountain to pick flowers?
Why do we wear cheongsam when we go up the mountain to pick flowers?
This is obviously not convenient for action!
This is clearly a deliberate attempt to disrupt my concentration!
Li Banfeng tried his best to move his eyes away from the two petals, but he didn't expect that Nectarine suddenly turned around and smiled at Li Banfeng.
The crescent-shaped eyes were full of charm, and this smile made Li Banfeng's heart tighten.
"Little brother, are you really a happy cultivator? I heard that a happy cultivator can form seven or eight formations a day without any problem."
Li Banfeng said calmly: "Thank you for the compliment, sister."
Nectarine's red lips trembled slightly, and she whispered, "How about we have a sparring match some other day?"
Li Banfeng shook his head: "My cultivation is still shallow, I am afraid I am no match for my sister."
Youtao looked at the fat boy behind Li Banfeng and smiled: "I almost forgot that your Taoist partner is still here. You like round ones, not flat ones."
Xiaopang wiped the sweat from his forehead: "I am a food cultivator..."
Lu Xiu was very sensitive to distance. According to Li Banfeng's calculations, after they had walked more than five miles on the mountain road, a black and white flower appeared beside the road.
The shape of this flower is very strange. Each petal is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, with black spots on a white background, just like a snake's head covered with scales.
Snakehead daisy!
Gold-rimmed Glasses introduced the shape characteristics of the snake daisy, and Li Banfeng recognized it. The flower was exactly the same as Gold-rimmed Glasses' description.
Xiaopang also recognized it and was about to pick it in joy, but suddenly a man jumped out from the bushes beside the mountain road with a pair of long-handled scissors in his hand and picked the flower first.
Xiaopang was furious, not only because his flowers were snatched away, but what made him even more angry was the person himself.
The person in front of me was the bald guy I met before going up the mountain.
It’s him again!
Xiaopang picked up the axe again, and this time he really wanted to take action.
The bald man looked disdainful and said, "You are as stupid as a pig. You can't even eat shit when it's hot! What are you doing with the axe? Try chopping it!"
The man with gold-rimmed glasses stopped Xiaopang, and the bald man disappeared into the bushes in the blink of an eye.
Xiao Pang gnashed his teeth and said, "I'm going to chop this bastard into pieces!"
The man with gold-rimmed glasses grabbed Xiaopang and said, "Don't worry about these two flowers on the roadside. When you get to a good place, there will be plenty of flowers."
"Where is the good place?" Xiaopang was still unwilling.
The man with gold-rimmed glasses looked at the mountain road. The man from the pharmacy walked quickly and his figure had disappeared.
"Go faster and see if you can catch up with them."
The old smoker lit the pipe, took a few puffs, and exhaled a puff of white smoke with a yellowish tint.
The smoke flew forward quickly, and the old smoker bit the pipe, savoring the flavor.
"They didn't go far. The road forked ahead and went to the right."
Tiger Lamb was stunned when he heard this: "Old man, don't talk nonsense if you don't know."
The old smoker tapped his pipe twice and said, "If you don't believe me, don't follow us!"
The man with gold-rimmed glasses believed the old smoker because there was indeed a fork in the road ahead.
After turning right along the fork in the road and walking for more than an hour, we saw an open space beside the mountain road and outside the dense forest.
"They are right here." Old Smoker walked into the open space, followed closely by the man with gold-rimmed glasses.
Lu Xiu walked fast, and Li Banfeng could have caught up with him, but he deliberately walked slower, his eyes seeming to be fixed on the two halves of the nectarine.
After searching in the open space for a while, Li Banfeng saw a black and white flower at his feet.
After watching the peaches swaying along the way, he thought he was seeing things.
He bent down to look again and he was not mistaken, this was the snake plant.
He took out a sickle and followed the method that the man with gold-rimmed glasses had described at the foot of the mountain. He pinched the neck of the flower and cut it off an inch away from the root.
Got the first snake daisy!
