Chapter 354: Traveling Cultivator Seventh Layer Technique

Luo Zhengnan organized his thoughts, roughly straightened out a clue, and went to find Li Li Banfeng.

Li Li Banfeng was drinking with Ma Wu. Upon seeing Ma Wu, Luo Zhengnan felt a bit awkward, but Ma Wu felt no awkwardness at all.

He was a man of the world by nature and had no aversion to people of the jianghu. Most importantly, Luo Zhengnan was someone brought by Li Li Banfeng; even though such a person came from a place like the Jiang Xiang Society, he was absolutely reliable.

"Brother Luo, have a drink. You deserve the top credit for what happened last night."

Luo Zhengnan was startled: "What happened last night?"

Li Li Banfeng lowered his voice and said: "What happened on his bed last night."

Luo Zhengnan had heard of Ma Ma Junyang's reputation.

How could the things he did in bed count as my top credit?

Luo Zhengnan felt a bit nervous. He kept a certain distance from Ma Wu and said to Li Li Banfeng: "Seventh Master, I've cleared up some things..."

Halfway through his sentence, Luo Zhengnan looked outside the private room door.

Through the door, everyone heard the sound of sweeping.

Ma Wu pointed upstairs, signaling Li Li Banfeng and Luo Zhengnan to exit through the secret door of the private room and talk somewhere else.

He opened the main door of the private room and called the sweeper in, telling him to sweep the room carefully.

"Sweep it clean," Ma Wu specifically gave the sweeper a Da Huan State banknote and kept staring at him, "Important guests are coming in a while, you'd better be attentive for me."

The sweeper was very anxious. He saw Li Qi bring a stranger back to Xiaoyao Wu, but he didn't recognize this person, nor did he know if he should report it to Wan Wan Jinxian.

Now that he couldn't find Li Qi and Ma Wu was still staring from the side, he could only hold his broom and sweep obediently.

……

Upstairs, Luo Zhengnan told Li Li Banfeng the whole clue: "Seventh Master, do you know there is a Saint at Jianren Ridge?"

"I've heard of it." Li Li Banfeng didn't mention he had been to Jianren Ridge.

"Do you know the identity of this Saint?"

Li Li Banfeng shook his head.

"Just now I heard He He Haiqin and that woman talking; that Saint seems to be an Emperor."

Li Li Banfeng was startled: "An Emperor of which dynasty?"

Luo Zhengnan shook his head and said: "I can't say for sure. To tell you the truth, I've been investigating this Saint for a long time, and this Saint has very close dealings with the Jiang Xiang Society."

"Are you talking about the human trafficking?" Li Li Banfeng also knew about this, "Those who can sell people to Jianren Ridge must have special channels."

"No channels needed!" Luo Zhengnan waved his hand, "Every hall of the Jiang Xiang Society does this; it's their livelihood. Many halls have poor territories and rely on this to survive.

Jianren Ridge pays well, and if you're lucky, you can even beg for some elixirs from the Saint. Because I have rules, the Medicine King Hall is not allowed to do human trafficking, and the brothers under me have many complaints about this.

If you have been to Jianren Ridge, you would know what the situation is like there. If it were me, I would rather stay in Kucai Village than go to a place like Jianren Ridge.

People there live too miserably. They spend the whole year rushing about for a living and can't take care of marriage or having children. The population of Jianren Ridge decreases year by year, all relying on the Jiang Xiang Society to support them."

Li Li Banfeng thought of Xiao Xiao Zhenggong: "It seems the leader of the Jiang Xiang Society also has dealings with this Saint."

"Dealings are inevitable. According to the clues I've investigated, it is precisely by relying on the Saint's relationship that Xiao Xiao Zhenggong became a balancer."

Li Li Banfeng was startled: "What is a balancer?"

"Someone with a special status between the Outer State and Puluo State. As for what exactly is special about it, I haven't found a clue yet."

The Saint is an Emperor.

Xiao Xiao Zhenggong is a balancer.

The Saint is now recruiting He He Haiqin again. Will He He Haiqin join forces with the Saint?

I'm afraid this is no longer up to him.

……

Returning to the Leaving Suishenju, Li Li Banfeng's expression was gloomy as he came to Xiang Xiang Hongying's side.

"Follow me!" Li Li Banfeng scolded. Xiang Xiang Hongying followed behind and went obediently.

The phonograph was startled and asked the others: "What did Xiang Xiang Hongying do wrong? Why is the husband so angry?"

Meng De said on the wall: "Miss Hong has always had a bad temper. The master must have tolerated her for too long and is going to use family law today."

The phonograph laughed: "Beating her is fine too. Her arrogance should have been crushed long ago!"

On second thought, the phonograph was a bit suspicious: "Can the husband beat her?"

Meng De said: "With the wife here, how would Miss Hong dare to fight back."

……

The two arrived at the seventh room. Li Li Banfeng moved the red lotus out and said with a serious expression: "How have I treated you?"

Xiang Xiang Hongying lowered her head and said: "Seventh Brother has treated me quite well."

"There is still a piece of Lin Lin Dexing's flesh left. The glove hid it for you. I already know about this. Eat it."

Xiang Xiang Hongying shook her head: "I won't eat that. Seventh Brother promised me he wouldn't force me to eat it."

"My wife has eaten it. If you don't eat it, is that appropriate?"

"Anyway, I won't eat it!" Xiang Xiang Hongying became stubborn.

Li Li Banfeng sighed and said: "Forget it, let's put this aside for now. I've encountered a formidable traveling cultivator enemy with a ninth-layer cultivation base. Before fighting him, I must know his techniques. The first six layers go without saying; I already know these techniques. Tell me about the seventh, eighth, and ninth layer techniques."

Asking layer by layer is too troublesome.

Especially high-layer techniques; very few people know them, and they are unwilling to reveal them.

Take this opportunity to ask for all the techniques.

Li Li Banfeng knew his temperament was a bit greedy, but he believed he could hold himself back and would definitely not learn techniques across layers.

In all likelihood, he wouldn't learn across layers.

At most, he would study the skills of high-layer techniques and practice them occasionally. This should, in all likelihood, not count as learning techniques across layers.

"Seventh Brother, you want to ask about traveling cultivator techniques?" Xiang Xiang Hongying was a bit troubled.

"Let's go, let's find my wife. In front of her, eat Lin Lin Dexing's flesh."

"Don't, I'll tell you. The traveling cultivator seventh-layer technique is called 'Going One's Own Way'."

"How is this technique used?"

"It needs to be coordinated with the first-layer technique. The traveling cultivator first-layer technique is the foundation; all techniques cannot be separated from the first-layer technique.

'Looking at Flowers on Horseback' corresponds to 'Wind Rising on Flat Ground'; it mainly requires moving fast. 'Going One's Own Way' corresponds to 'Seeking Good Fortune and Avoiding Calamity'; you have to walk in reverse."

Li Li Banfeng was confused: "What does walking in reverse mean? Could it be that I have to walk toward dangerous places?"

Xiang Xiang Hongying pointed her gun barrel and said: "It means walking toward dangerous places. As long as 'Going One's Own Way' is deployed, the more dangerous the place, the more fierce the combat power increase."

Li Li Banfeng pondered for a moment and said: "There is a ninth-layer cultivator ahead. If I rush up directly, isn't that seeking death?"

Xiang Xiang Hongying was stunned for a moment and asked Li Li Banfeng: "What do you mean by rushing up? You aren't a traveling cultivator."

"Yes, I'm not a traveling cultivator," Li Li Banfeng said calmly, "I'm just standing from the perspective of a traveling cultivator and thinking about it!"

Xiang Xiang Hongying replied: "That is indeed the logic. If you were a seventh-layer traveling cultivator encountering a ninth-layer cultivator, if you used the 'Going One's Own Way' technique, you should rush up.

Of course, the chance of winning after rushing up is also very slim, but if there's no way to escape, 'Going One's Own Way' is also an option. After rushing up, your combat power will approach the eighth layer. If the situation is extremely dangerous, your combat power might even exceed the eighth layer, and you might have the strength to fight a ninth-layer cultivator."

This is a technique for gambling with one's life.

Li Li Banfeng said: "According to what you said, when a seventh-layer traveling cultivator reaches a desperate situation, they might fight to the death at any time."

Xiang Xiang Hongying shook her gun barrel and said: "That's not it. Among them..."

Speaking of the crux of the technique, Xiang Xiang Hongying didn't want to say anymore.

All cultivators want to protect their own techniques, especially high-level techniques.

Li Li Banfeng sighed lightly and said: "Forget it, let's go eat meat!"

"Seventh Brother~ spare me~"

Xiang Xiang Hongying wasn't like the wife who knew how to act coquettishly. Saying two delicate words, Li Li Banfeng also felt it was stiff.

Softening his heart was impossible. If she didn't explain clearly, he would definitely not spare her.

Xiang Xiang Hongying had no choice but to explain the crux: "Under heavy injury, the seventh-layer technique cannot be deployed. The seventh-layer technique has extremely strict requirements for the physique. When the physique is damaged, the technique cannot be deployed."

And you can't wait until you are heavily injured to use it. In other words, once the battle begins, you must make the determination to gamble with your life.

This technique is a test for a person.

"What is the key to the technique?"

"Courage, the courage to walk toward dangerous places. Seventh Brother, if that formidable enemy of yours disregards his life and disregards life and death, and just rushes toward you, you must be careful.

He might have already deployed the seventh-layer technique. If he has ninth-layer cultivation, it is very likely that his combat power has already rushed to above the tenth layer. You must avoid his sharp edge and do not engage him head-on."

Xiang Xiang Hongying's attitude was good.

Li Li Banfeng asked: "What about the eighth-layer technique?"

Xiang Xiang Hongying rubbed her hands and was just about to answer when she suddenly heard the phonograph shouting outside: "Hey husband, what is this smell? Why is there still a piece of meat stored in the third room!"

The Leaving Suishenju instantly became quiet.

Xiang Xiang Hongying gripped Li Li Banfeng's hand, her palms full of sweat.

A group of magic treasures couldn't bear the interrogation. The Tang Dao spoke first: "The meat was hidden by the glove. The third room stinks so much that I don't even go there to sleep."

The wife turned to ask the glove: "Did you refuse to eat the meat, so you hid it?"

"I ate it, I really ate it, this piece of meat isn't mine!" The glove defended itself, "This piece of meat is Miss Hong's. She asked me to hide it!"

Actually, this matter had Li Li Banfeng's instruction, but at a time like this, the glove absolutely could not sell out the master.

Xiang Xiang Hongying was terrified. The phonograph shouted: "Slut, get out here!"

Xiang Xiang Hongying walked out trembling. No matter how much hatred she had for the phonograph, when she encountered trouble, she was truly afraid.

Li Li Banfeng comforted her: "Wife, this piece of meat has been left for so many days, the smell is a bit heavy. Xiang Xiang Hongying really can't eat it, so let's leave it to the red lotus."

The red lotus produced a layer of dew and originally wanted to spit on Li Li Banfeng, but held back.

The phonograph really didn't argue with Xiang Xiang Hongying: "Since the husband is pleading for you, I'll spare you this time. Husband, the slave has been over-nourished these two days and needs to recuperate for a few days. After recuperating, I should take the husband to the seventh layer.

Has the husband asked anyone about the residential cultivator seventh-layer technique these days?"

Li Li Banfeng shook his head: "Does this still need asking? Just wait for the wife to guide me!"

"Hey husband, I knew the husband trusts the slave the most. The husband must not go out and ask around randomly. Learning techniques across layers is a great taboo; if it goes wrong, it will cost lives."

Li Li Banfeng waved his hand: "How could I do that kind of thing."

"Hey husband, your temperament is a bit impatient. The slave is truly worried for you. The husband must remember, at the seventh layer, let's learn seventh-layer skills; don't think about other places."

"Hmm." Li Li Banfeng agreed and left the Leaving Suishenju.

Xiang Xiang Hongying stood beside the phonograph.

The phonograph asked: "What were you doing with the husband just now?"

Xiang Xiang Hongying hurriedly replied: "I didn't do anything. We are innocent!"

"Innocent my ass!" The phonograph gritted her teeth, "If it weren't for the husband, I would have beaten you to death, you slut!"

Xiang Xiang Hongying snorted coldly and still stood obediently beside the phonograph.

The phonograph turned to look at the red lotus: "And you, you slut, has this batch of elixirs been refined for too long?"

……

Two days later, Luo Zhengnan received news again: "The Saint's disciple named Zhong Zhong Huaien made an appointment to meet He He Haiqin. He He Haiqin asked that woman to go to the appointment, tomorrow night at seven o'clock, at the Lotus Pond Tea House."

Li Li Banfeng laughed: "They really want to cooperate. Let's go join the fun."
