Chapter 132

Liu Liu Liangyi made up his mind to take revenge on Ma Wu, but he didn't act immediately.

Unlike Liu Liu Changyu, Liu Liu Liangyi had to consider every aspect before acting.

First, the action must be successful. The traces of a nightmare cultivator's move are too heavy and easily caught by the other side as evidence. To erase all traces, no living person can be left at the scene.

This point is not difficult for Liu Liu Liangyi. He has sixty ghost servants. As long as he blocks Ma Wu, surrounds him from front and back, and just kills, he guarantees not a single living person will be let out.

Second, he must guard against techniques and magic treasures.

Ghost servants' bodies are flexible, and they do have an advantage in battle, but they are also restrained by some sect techniques.

Joy cultivators have some techniques that can restrain ghosts, but they must be at least at the third layer.

Does Ma Wu have third-layer cultivation?

Liu Liu Liangyi is not sure.

According to Liu Liu Liangyi's speculation, Ma Wu was able to kill Song Song Jiasen, so his cultivation shouldn't be too low.

Besides techniques, there are magic treasures that restrain ghosts.

Does Ma Wu have a magic treasure that restrains ghosts?

He once had one.

He had a dog-skin coat, dirty and greasy, worn on his body like a beggar.

As long as he wears this dog-skin coat, ordinary ghosts, as long as they are touched by him, will immediately vanish into smoke.

Now that Ma Wu has been kicked out of the family, is this dog-skin coat still on him?

Liu Liu Liangyi doesn't dare to gamble. If this coat is still on Ma Wu, relying solely on ghost servants will not only fail to kill Ma Wu but will also cost him a large number of ghost servants.

These sixty ghost servants were forged by Liu Liu Liangyi with years of hard work. Losing one means the Liu family has one less combat power. Killing Ma Wu but losing all his ghost servants is a loss Liu Liu Liangyi cannot bear.

To ensure nothing goes wrong, Liu Liu Liangyi decided to deploy paper people.

Ghost servants can attach themselves to paper people, which avoids direct contact between ghost servants and Ma Wu. Even if the paper people are destroyed, the ghost servants can calmly escape and attach themselves to another paper person.

With ghost servants moving back and forth among the paper people, Ma Wu won't find a target to cast his techniques on. When the time comes, even if he just wears him down, he can wear him to death.

The method is correct, but it's a bit difficult to control.

Liu Liu Liangyi hasn't used paper people for many years. One ghost servant can control at most five paper people. Sixty ghost servants can control three hundred paper people. This is equivalent to using his own cultivation to control a small army. Liu Liu Liangyi is old and a bit overwhelmed.

After much thought, he decided to use forty ghost servants to control two hundred paper people, and the remaining twenty ghost servants would protect his own safety by his side.

Third, he must ensure secrecy.

Deploying so many paper people cannot be detected by anyone.

Not only can it not be detected by Ma Wu's people, but even his own people cannot leak a single bit of news.

Can Liu Liu Liangyi trust his own people?

He can't.

He can't even trust his closest accountant, Hu Hu Juncai.

Having roamed the green woods for decades, except for himself, he trusts no one.

"Ask away. Whoever has the ability makes the fortune; can I stop them?" Ma Wu smiled and added, "But one thing: I've just gained a foothold here. It's best if you have some sense of proportion when asking, so as not to cause panic. You know my situation; it's not easy to have an industry."

Because he heard that someone is coming to the vicinity of Lanyang Village.

As long as this person appears, it's best not to cause trouble, otherwise there will be big trouble.

Clang-clang, clang-clang!

"Foreign soap, snow cream, matches, candles, and iron shovels, come and take a look, come and take a look, a cart full of good goods for you to pick!"

The peddler pulled his cart to the side of the road and just shouted twice when he saw Li Li Banfeng rushing over with three people.

Hearing that the peddler was coming these days, Li Li Banfeng had been calling people to inquire about the news and finally waited for the peddler.

Li Li Banfeng could be considered an old customer. Even if he wore a top hat and a face full of thick beard, the peddler could recognize him.

Seeing an old customer coming, the peddler pushed his cart and wanted to leave; he didn't want to do business with Li Li Banfeng.

Li Li Banfeng took a step forward and blocked the peddler: "Buying medicine, medicine for entry!"

The peddler stared at Li Li Banfeng for a moment: "You want to buy medicine for entry? You still dare to buy medicine for entry?"

He had already entered two sects; buying medicine again is just courting death.

Li Li Banfeng shook his head: "I'm not the one buying medicine; it's my two brothers who want to buy medicine."

Behind him followed Ma Wu, as well as Xiao Xiao Chuan and Xiao Xiao Genzi. These two were road construction workers who were loyal to Ma Wu and had secretly saved money to buy decoctions before. Seeing that their foundation was decent, he brought them to enter the sect.

Ma Wu smiled and said: "Trouble you to take a look, what medicine powder do you have today?"

The peddler looked at Li Li Banfeng with great disdain, then said to Ma Wu: "Don't you just want to enter the sect? You bring these two people, you don't need to bring him."

Li Li Banfeng was very dissatisfied: "I'm also here to buy things. You're out to sell, how can you pick customers?"

"You're the one out to sell!" The peddler spat at Li Li Banfeng, then turned to Xiao Xiao Chuan and Xiao Xiao Genzi: "Today I brought a lot of medicine powder. What sect do you two want to choose?"

Xiao Xiao Chuan was still hesitating. Li Li Banfeng gave a suggestion: "Choose Joy Cultivation with your young master, just cultivate together."

Xiao Xiao Chuan shook his head: "I don't think that line of work has any future."

Ma Wu kicked Xiao Xiao Chuan: "Who are you saying has no future!"

Xiao Xiao Chuan said to the peddler: "Actually, I want to cultivate literary cultivation."

The peddler smiled: "That has a future. Do you like reading books usually?"

Xiao Xiao Chuan answered very seriously: "I like reading books, but I don't know characters."

The peddler frowned: "You don't know characters, what literary cultivation are you cultivating?"

Xiao Xiao Chuan lowered his head: "I just want to learn characters."

Ma Wu said to the peddler: "Give him the medicine powder for literary cultivation, I'll teach him characters."

The peddler shook his head: "That's nonsense. Do you think learning characters is an easy thing? How many years have you learned yourself? Don't you have any count in your heart?

After entering literary cultivation, you have to read a book every day. He doesn't know characters, what is he going to read? If the daily cultivation isn't completed, isn't that just waiting for death?"

Xiao Xiao Chuan felt even more aggrieved: "I just don't want to be a blind man."

The peddler waved his hand: "Then go learn characters, learn them and come back to find me!"

Xiao Xiao Chuan felt even more aggrieved: "I can drive a road roller, I'm not a waste either."

The peddler laughed: "Who said you're a waste? It's not that you have to enter literary cultivation to have a future. You can drive a road roller, right? Then can you repair a road roller?"

Xiao Xiao Chuan nodded: "I can repair it!"

The peddler put on his gloves, picked up a shovel, scooped a spoonful of medicine powder, and said to Xiao Xiao Chuan: "This is the medicine powder for industrial cultivation, specifically for researching industrial methods. The more industrial methods you learn, the more refined you are, the faster your cultivation will rise."

Xiao Xiao Chuan said excitedly: "What is an industrial method?"

"An industrial method is..." The peddler couldn't think of a way to explain it to Xiao Xiao Chuan for a moment. "It is... repairing road rollers, repairing trains, repairing airplanes, repairing mechanisms, repairing traps... from small things like bamboo baskets and pottery jars to large things like skyscrapers, these are all industrial methods, it just depends on how many you can learn!"

Xiao Xiao Chuan nodded: "I can do this!"

"You can do it, but the medicine powder isn't cheap. Industrial cultivation is 110,000, no bargaining."

Hearing the 110,000 medicine powder price, Xiao Xiao Chuan looked at Ma Wu nervously.

Ma Wu took out 110,000 without hesitation and handed it to the peddler. One hand for money, one hand for medicine.

The peddler exhorted: "After learning industrial cultivation, you must also learn characters, otherwise it will be hard to make progress in the future."

Xiao Xiao Chuan agreed, took the bright silver medicine powder with a metallic smell, endured the severe pain, and successfully entered the sect by slapping the medicine on his belly.

Xiao Xiao Genzi also wanted industrial cultivation.

But he felt the price of 110,000 was too high.

Ma Wu was closer to Xiao Xiao Chuan, and Xiao Xiao Genzi wasn't that favored. He was worried that the Fifth Young Master wouldn't pay for him.

Seeing the peddler's attention was all on Xiao Xiao Chuan, Xiao Xiao Genzi quietly slipped to the peddler's cart.

The drawer from which the peddler took the medicine powder was still open. Xiao Xiao Genzi secretly put on gloves, grabbed a handful of medicine powder from the drawer, and smeared it on himself.

The peddler suddenly turned his head and looked at Xiao Xiao Genzi: "What are you doing?"

Xiao Xiao Genzi endured the pain and shook his head: "Nothing."

The peddler was furious: "You stole my medicine!"

Xiao Xiao Genzi still shook his head: "No, nothing."

Ma Wu was angry: "Xiao Genzi, if you took someone's medicine, you have to admit it. I'll pay for it, don't do such shameful things!"

Xiao Xiao Genzi lowered his head and didn't dare to make a sound.

The peddler carefully looked at Xiao Xiao Genzi's complexion and asked: "What medicine powder did you take just now?"

Xiao Xiao Genzi pointed at Xiao Xiao Chuan and said: "My medicine powder is the same as his, they all came from the same drawer."

The peddler shook his head: "The medicine powder from the same drawer might not be the same type. You see if it's this color?"

The peddler scooped a spoonful of medicine powder from the same drawer. The medicine powder inside was golden, even more eye-catching than the golden medicine powder of residential cultivation.

Everyone was stunned. Just now, the medicine powder scooped from this drawer was clearly silver, how did it suddenly turn golden?

Xiao Xiao Genzi was too anxious when he stole the medicine just now and didn't notice the color.

He spread his palm and took a look, discovering that there was still golden medicine powder left on his gloves.

What he took just now was really golden medicine powder!

The peddler smiled: "Little brother, you're lucky. The medicine powder you chose is cheap, it only costs one hundred yuan."

Xiao Xiao Genzi was pleasantly surprised: "One hundred yuan is enough?"

This is good, no need for the young master to pay, Xiao Xiao Genzi can afford it himself!

The peddler nodded: "One hundred yuan is enough, and there's a gift."

After saying this, the peddler took out two long, thin buckets from the cart, about one foot two high, with a diameter of about two fists.

Xiao Xiao Genzi asked in surprise: "What is this bucket for?"

"Don't rush, don't rush, there's more." The peddler also gave Xiao Xiao Genzi a spoon, the handle of which was about one meter long.

"This bucket must be used together with this spoon."

Xiao Xiao Genzi took the spoon and asked perplexedly: "Why must they be used together?"

The peddler explained: "That bucket is a gold bucket, and that spoon is a gold spoon. They are used to scoop golden soup."

Xiao Xiao Genzi looked at the spoon in his hand again and had a bad premonition: "What is golden soup?"

"Golden soup in the latrine!"

"Isn't that feces?"

"You chose gold cultivation, naturally you have to go scoop golden soup!"

"What kind of gold cultivation is this, this is feces cultivation!" Xiao Xiao Genzi cried out on the spot. "I won't do it, I won't choose this sect!"

The peddler shook his head and sighed: "The sect has already been chosen, where can you find regret medicine?"

Xiao Xiao Genzi wailed: "I'd rather not have this life than choose this sect!"

The peddler sighed: "You can think of it in a good way. Among the sects in the world, they restrain each other, and each has its own constraints.

Poison cultivation and medicine cultivation restrain each other, water cultivation and fire cultivation restrain each other, residential cultivation and traveling cultivation restrain each other. Only your sect is powerful; you restrain everyone, and no one can restrain you.

Traveling cultivators flee when they see you, literary cultivators hold their noses when they see you, residential cultivators close their doors when they see you, food cultivators feel nauseous when they see you, martial cultivators retreat three times when they see you, joy cultivators feel soft in body and mind when they see you.

Ghosts fear filthy things, and even nightmare cultivators' ghost servants don't dare to be presumptuous in front of you. If this sect is cultivated to great success, it will surely be invincible!"

Xiao Xiao Genzi wailed: "I won't cultivate this, I just won't!"

"Look at it more openly, look at it more openly. You have already entered the sect. From now on, you must carry this feces bucket. Before reaching the next level, you must carry it for five hours every day. You can't carry an empty bucket; there must be goods inside. You have to change it every day. The more often you change it, the faster you will rise.

Once you reach the next level, you have to carry it for eight hours a day. After advancing to the second layer, one bucket won't be enough; you have to carry two. When the time comes, you come back to find me to buy a third one to prepare for advancing to the third layer.

Even if you don't want to advance, you must carry it for at least two hours every day. The golden soup in the bucket must be changed at least once every two days.

I have already pointed out the path, how you walk it depends on yourself."

Xiao Xiao Genzi sat on the ground and wailed, while the peddler continued to shout for business.

Ma Wu walked up to the peddler and asked: "I want to buy some tonic medicine."

"Tonic for joy cultivation?" The peddler smiled. "Yes, do you want decoction, medicine powder, or pills?

Decoction is slow to take effect, medicine powder is not lasting, pills have high toxicity. You choose for yourself."

Ma Wu bought decoction. The peddler didn't give the prescription, only the medicine packets, one dose a day, and warned Ma Wu that it wouldn't work if opened.

After buying more than a hundred medicine packets, ensuring he could wait until the peddler appeared next time, Ma Wu was satisfied and planned his next stage of cultivation.

Li Li Banfeng also asked about the medicine.

"Is there any medicine that can resolve elixir poison?"

The peddler shook his head: "There is no such thing."

"Really none?"

"If I had such a good thing, would I still need to push a cart and run around?

Different pills have different toxicities. There is no very good method of resolution. You either rely on your physique to carry it, or rely on time to wear it down. There is no shortcut here."

Not finding a means to resolve elixir poison, Li Li Banfeng turned to ask another question: "Where is the Peddler's Path?"

The peddler looked at Li Li Banfeng, not knowing how to evaluate him: "Do you have no sense of depth? I am the peddler. You ask me where the Peddler's Path is? This is my secret, can I tell you?"

Li Li Banfeng said very sincerely: "I'll pay."

The peddler was furious: "Is this a matter of money? This is where I settle down and make a living, can I just tell anyone? You ask so vulgarly, do you respect me?"

Li Li Banfeng curled his lips: "Can you not say it no matter what?"

The peddler shook his head: "That's not necessarily true. If you enter my sect and cultivate to a certain level, I can tell you some things about the Peddler's Path."

The peddler also has a sect?

This is the first time he's heard of it.

Try joining his sect?

Li Li Banfeng has already entered two sects.

He pondered for a moment and said: "What will happen if I enter one more sect now?"

"You will die." The peddler answered very directly.

"Then forget it."

There was no hope for the Peddler's Path for now, so Li Li Banfeng simply asked a more direct question: "Do you sell travel permits?"

The peddler was speechless: "Do you think I would sell that kind of vulgar thing? No!"

Li Li Banfeng snorted: "You have nothing, and you still have the nerve to come out and do business!"

The peddler wanted to beat Li Li Banfeng up, but in front of so many people, he was afraid of ruining his own reputation, so he could only endure it.

Ma Wu and Xiao Xiao Chuan both bought the things they wanted.

As for Xiao Xiao Genzi, he had at least entered the sect.

It was rare for the peddler to come once, and Li Li Banfeng gained nothing, so he was unwilling.

"I'll buy that iron bucket, give me two bottles of snow cream, give me two pieces of soap, and that rice spoon, and that pot, I also want the rouge and powder, and give me a few pearl flowers."

"You're a man, what are you buying so much rouge and pearl flowers for?" The peddler was very puzzled.

"None of your business, I'll pay for it." Li Li Banfeng looked at the red lantern hanging on the peddler's cart: "I want this too."

The peddler waved his hand: "This lantern cannot be given to you. I told you last time, this was given to me by a friend, I won't sell it for any amount of money."

The lantern is not for sale.

"What about that feather duster?"

"That feather duster is for me to sweep dust!"

"One hundred yuan, will you sell it or not?"

"Not selling!"

"One thousand!"

"Not selling!"

"Ten thousand!"

The peddler frowned: "Why do you insist on buying this feather duster?"

Li Li Banfeng didn't speak.

He felt this feather duster seemed to be talking.

What exactly it said, he couldn't hear clearly.

He listened with the silk-pulling earrings, and it seemed to be saying: "Pity me, pity me, give me something to eat."

The peddler looked at Li Li Banfeng, then looked at the earrings he had been clutching in his palm, and his brows furrowed slightly.

PS: Li Li Banfeng heard a voice he shouldn't have heard.

Thank you to Naiyazi Zuigao for initiating the character summoning, thank you to book friend 20180905205521924, under your hint, I discovered an incomparably powerful path of cultivation.
