Chapter 458: Strangers in the Portable Abode

Intention Travels a Thousand Mountains.

Literally understood, it should be relying on intention to walk through thousands of mountains and rivers, in exchange for cultivation.

In the eighth-layer technique, Li Li Banfeng could be said to be self-taught, because the technique of "Intention Travels a Thousand Mountains" itself was very compatible with the characteristics of the Portable Abode.

Li Li Banfeng thought of a certain location in the Portable Abode, and the Portable Abode could take Li Li Banfeng to a certain location. In this process, Li Li Banfeng's cultivation also had a certain degree of growth because he acted together with the Portable Abode. Although the principles were different, the process and results were somewhat similar.

This also explained why Li Li Banfeng didn't leave when he was in the Mo Xiang Shop, and could still feel his cultivation growing.

He had been reading travelogues, walking through thousands of mountains and rivers in books, thereby completing fixed cultivation in another way.

It seems this technique is for long-term cultivation.

"Xue Yingying, with this technique, our Trave... what about you Traveling Cultivators, will you not need to run around in the future?"

Hong Ying shook her head: "It's not that simple. Our sect is special. Traveling Cultivators have to travel between thousands of mountains and rivers, but sometimes, cultivators are not convenient to go out."

"Just like when I was in the army, if I left the barracks without permission, I would be hit by this bitch. If this continues, cultivation will be delayed, and cultivation will inevitably be backlashed."

"The technique of 'Intention Travels a Thousand Mountains' can make up for cultivation, thereby resolving the risk of cultivation backlash, but with Seventh Brother's current cultivation, he cannot make up for too much. Two or three percent is already not easy, and the rest still needs Seventh Brother to walk through himself."

Li Li Banfeng lowered his head: "I am not a Traveling Cultivator, I am borrowing techniques."

Hong Ying touched Li Li Banfeng's cheek: "Seventh Brother, don't hide it anymore. I feel heartache looking at it. How about we find a place to talk in detail, without letting this bitch hear it."

Slap! Slap!

The phonograph was furious and hit Hong Ying with ten boards.

Hong Ying rubbed for a long time, took a breath, and continued: "I have seen many Traveling Cultivators who treat the technique of 'Intention Travels a Thousand Mountains' as a means to make up for cultivation. This is a fallacy."

"Intention can travel a thousand mountains, a thousand mountains can be traveled by intention. The wonder of the technique of 'Intention Travels a Thousand Mountains' is not in making up for cultivation, but in combat tactics."

Combat tactics?

Can this technique also be used for combat?

Li Li Banfeng conceived the scene of combat:

When fighting with the enemy, Li Li Banfeng first unfolds a painting, takes a look, and then improves his cultivation...

This seems unfeasible.

"Xue Yingying, I can't understand this combat tactic."

Hong Ying suddenly raised her head, and a powerful momentum was compelling.

Li Li Banfeng suddenly stood up, thinking Hong Ying had gone crazy, and hurriedly prepared for battle.

Hong Ying's long hair fluttered, as if ready to launch a surprise attack at any time.

For the sake of safety, Li Li Banfeng took two steps back, and suddenly felt a fierce danger coming from behind.

Li Li Banfeng swept with his peripheral vision, scared until his hair stood up.

Can't retreat anymore.

Less than five centimeters from his heel, it was already a ten-thousand-foot cliff. Around the cliff wall, there were flying birds shuttling back and forth.

"Is this an illusion?" Li Li Banfeng asked Hong Ying.

"It's not an illusion, falling down will really smash to pieces," Hong Ying grabbed Li Li Banfeng, and the cliff behind disappeared immediately, "This cliff is a dangerous place I passed by when I was fighting in the army. I just moved it here. This is a real move. This is 'a thousand mountains can be traveled by intention'."

"Moved it here?" Li Li Banfeng was stunned, "You moved a cliff into the Portable Abode?"

Hong Ying shook her head: "What I moved is not the cliff, but the danger of the cliff. We Traveling Cultivators are good at fighting in dangerous places. If we move the danger to the battlefield, we can occupy the upper hand in front of the enemy."

So the key element of "Intention Travels a Thousand Mountains" lies in danger. Li Li Banfeng said: "Then why not call it the technique of 'thousands of difficulties and dangers'?"

Hong Ying laughed: "Because sometimes it's a real move, sometimes it's a fake move. What is moved may not be danger, sometimes it is powder."

Li Li Banfeng didn't understand: "What is the use of moving powder?"

"Seventh Brother, look carefully!" A scent of powder came to his face. Li Li Banfeng looked around. This time he didn't see cliffs, nor did he see guns and swords. He saw a group of women who looked charming and had no clothes.

Li Li Banfeng said: "What is the use of this?"

Hong Ying said: "This means can be used to deal with lecherous people. On the battlefield, anyone who has seen this scene has become a ghost under the knife, and it works every time."

A group of women disappeared in a blink of an eye. Li Li Banfeng said: "Is this also a real move?"

Hong Ying shook her head: "This is not a real move, this is a fake move. Seventh Brother cannot learn the technique of fake move yet."

Li Li Banfeng thought for a moment: "What is the difference between the two?"

"The technique of real move moves the real location. When Seventh Brother saw the cliff just now, did he hear the birds singing?"

"I heard it, and I saw a few birds."

"That proves that there were indeed birds on the cliff at that time. If you want to use the technique of real move, you must have seen this place, must know the danger in it, concentrate your intention on it, and move the real scene and real danger to the battlefield, so that the technique can succeed."

"The second time I used the technique of fake move. Those girls were not real, they were imagined by me. This technique has already involved above the clouds, Seventh Brother cannot learn it for the time being."

Imagined?

Li Li Banfeng recalled the scene just now. There was a girl doing two businesses.

"Xue Yingying, what do you usually think about?"

Hong Ying stammered: "Just, just thinking randomly."

The phonograph sneered: "When she was in the army, she read 'Tian Xiang Ci Hua' every day, reading it without letting go of the book. What do you say she usually thinks about?"

Hong Ying defended: "I read that book for the sake of fighting, for the sake of seizing the opportunity on the battlefield!"

"For the sake of fighting..." The phonograph sneered, "Next time I should pull your pants and hit you, see if you know shame!"

The technique of fake move, thinking of whatever you want, is equal to changing the combat environment as you wish.

What a powerful technique!

Although this fake move cannot be learned, the technique of real move seems to be enough. Li Li Banfeng had also walked through many dangerous places.

He said flatteringly: "Xue Yingying, demonstrate the technique again, and I will make you a pair of gold earrings tomorrow."

"Seventh Brother, it's not that I don't want to teach you, but this matter needs to be slowed down. With my current physique, the technique of 'Intention Travels a Thousand Mountains' can be used at most three times a day. Just now I used the technique of fake move, the consumption was too great, I'm afraid it won't work today."

Li Li Banfeng was anxious: "You used the technique too fast just now, I didn't see it clearly."

"Seventh Brother, even if I recover to the peak, this technique won't be much slower. Now the physique is even worse."

"The technique of real move, I can persist for three breaths at most now. The technique of fake move can only persist for more than one breath."

Three breaths, six or seven seconds.

More than one breath, three seconds up and down.

This is too short, and Li Li Banfeng probably can't persist for such a long time.

Seeing Li Li Banfeng not speaking for a long time, Hong Ying advised: "Seventh Brother, don't worry, let's learn the essentials first, learn it right here, and piss off this bitch."

The phonograph was not angry, but she was worried about another thing: "Baby husband, you know the technique of 'a thousand miles apart'. Relying on 'going your own way', you can still forcibly take the level."

"Don't blame Xiao Nu for talking too much. Crossing levels to use techniques really might cost your life. Husband must not be reckless again."

Li Li Banfeng laughed: "How could I do that kind of thing? That technique of 'a thousand miles apart' is not very useful either."

Hong Ying was unhappy when she heard it: "That's not how you say it, the technique of 'a thousand miles apart' is very useful!"

Li Li Banfeng pulled a chair and sat down, asking seriously: "I really don't believe it, what is the use of this technique?"

Hong Ying said: "The key to this technique is..."

The phonograph really pulled Hong Ying's pants, picked up the board and beat her violently: "Talk too much, talk too much, talk so much! Tomorrow I will use paste to stick your mouth."

Li Li Banfeng learned for a whole day and moved for a whole day, but moved nothing out.

At night, Li Li Banfeng took Xiao Chuanzi and went to Black Stone Slope by train. Not long after he left, a group of masons newly recruited by the Seven Autumn Restaurant arrived.

A mason asked the foreman: "Do you know where Seventh Master is?"

The foreman frowned: "What are you looking for Seventh Master for?"

"There is a difficult matter at home, I want to ask Seventh Master for a favor."

The foreman really went to ask someone. He had worked for Li Qi for a long time and was familiar with Li Qi's temperament. As long as his subordinates encountered things, regardless of status, if he could help, Li Qi would definitely reach out.

The next morning, the foreman found the mason and said: "You didn't come at the right time. Seventh Master left because of something, on the train last night."

The mason was stunned: "Left? Where did he go?"

The foreman frowned: "Is this something you should ask?"

The mason lowered his head and didn't speak. The foreman said: "Alright, if Seventh Master is not here, you go find Fifth Master. If Fifth Master is not here, finding Left Head is also fine. Seventh Master's subordinates all have this rule, and those who can help you will not be vague."

The mason nodded and ran to the side to mix mud.

When it was time for lunch, this mason disappeared, and he didn't even take half a day's wages.

Arriving at Black Stone Slope, Li Li Banfeng went directly to the newspaper office.

Black Stone Slope had some changes compared to before. Li Qi and Ma Wu took over most of the local business, and the wages were much higher than before.

Workers had money in their hands and could afford things. There were many more shops on the street, and the book and newspaper business was more prosperous than before.

The "Ye Lai Xiang" newspaper office was still in the old factory before, but the layout had changed a lot. The front yard was the boiler room and printing plant.

The first row of factory buildings was changed into a sales department. Stacking newspapers, binding magazines, packaging film, shipping, and counting were all in this place.

The second row of factory buildings was a studio, used specifically for filming and taking photos.

The third row of factory buildings was relatively quiet. This was the office area for the pen-pushers. Editors and reporters wrote manuscripts here, and Bai Bai Qiusheng, Yuwen Qi, and others also worked here.

Li Li Banfeng walked around the newspaper office and frowned: "Why is it so crowded?"

Bai Bai Qiusheng laughed: "Seventh Master, our business is different from before. Three-tenths of the book and newspaper business in Black Stone Slope is in our hands. The business has grown, and there are more people. Isn't the place small?"

Li Li Banfeng said: "If the place is not enough, buy it! If you need money, tell me!"

Yuwen Qi said: "Seventh Master, our place is not small. You can't find a second newspaper office as big as this in Black Stone Slope."

"You still say it's big?" Li Li Banfeng was unhappy, "I just went to see the workers' residence. Eight people in one room, how crowded is that?"

"Buy all the buildings around, everyone must have a room."

"Also, move all the newspapers and periodicals of the last three months to me."

Returning to the Portable Abode, Li Li Banfeng moved a thick stack of newspapers to the Sixth Room and checked them one by one. He saw the early morning and didn't see anything special.

He read magazines for a while. The girls looked good, and the poses were very creative, but Li Li Banfeng was still sleepy.

Black Stone Slope obviously didn't have such a powerful order as the Mo Xiang Shop, and Li Li Banfeng didn't have such a strong desire to learn. There was a bed in the Sixth Room. After a simple wash, Li Li Banfeng slept in the Sixth Room.

Two hours later, the door slowly opened, and the phonograph floated in, aiming the lens at the newspaper on the table.

Under the illumination of the light, nearly half of the stack of newspapers was missing, and the phonograph left the Sixth Room silently.

Li Li Banfeng sat up from the bed and looked at the door quietly.

A faint light came through the crack of the door. He knew the phonograph was next door.

When he first accepted the phonograph, the phonograph almost wouldn't move and could only project images at a fixed angle.

After staying in the Portable Abode for a period of time, eating a lot of good things, the phonograph could move, but it moved very clumsily, even more clumsily than a music box.

And now the phonograph could not only fly but also fly so nimbly. There must be some reason behind this.

What is he doing with newspapers?

Angry with me, deliberately going against me?

The matter is probably not that simple.

Li Li Banfeng listened for a while with the technique of "Insightful Spiritual Sound". There seemed to be some movement in the Fifth Room, and someone seemed to be talking vaguely, but he couldn't hear clearly.

The silk earrings were not by his side, and Li Li Banfeng was not in a hurry for this moment, turned over and went to sleep again.

The next day, Li Li Banfeng left the Portable Abode and found Bai Bai Qiusheng: "In Black Stone Slope, besides our 'Ye Lai Xiang', which newspaper has a big enough reputation?"

Bai Bai Qiusheng said: "There used to be 'Yi Gan Liang', but now this newspaper office is not good. They do things too straightforwardly, and fewer and fewer people watch it."

"Now, the only one that can be as famous as us is 'Man Chun Xiang'. They do have some level. We occupy three-tenths of the book and newspaper business in Black Stone Slope, they occupy two-tenths, and the remaining five-tenths are divided by everyone."

Yuwen Qi said: "Seventh Master, are you going to clean up this newspaper office? I have long wanted to take action. This newspaper office is too bad."

"We publish special issues, they follow up; we send pictorials, they follow up; we do whatever they do, fighting against us every day."

Li Li Banfeng laughed: "Only with coming and going can it be called business. You clean up 'Man Chun Xiang', maybe 'Man Qiu Xiang' will pop up tomorrow. If you clean up everyone else's business, won't we become bullies?"

"Buy a copy of 'Man Chun Xiang' from the last three months, buy as many as you can. If you really can't, buy the last two days."

Li Li Banfeng didn't force it, because he knew this matter was not easy to handle. It was not easy to collect other people's old newspapers, but Bai Bai Qiusheng didn't feel it was difficult. He ordered his subordinates to buy them. Before long, the newspapers were bought, three months' worth, not one missing.

Li Li Banfeng was a bit surprised: "Where did you buy this?"

The subordinate said: "Lu's Bookstore, their things are very complete, but the price is a bit expensive."

Lu's Bookstore again?

Did he open a branch again?

Li Li Banfeng nodded and said: "I'll go to this Lu's Bookstore to see another day."

Carrying the newspapers back to the Portable Abode, Li Li Banfeng read for another whole day and still didn't see anything special.

Where is the cultural power of Black Stone Slope reflected? The main content of these newspapers, besides conscience and peaches, is the portal.

Li Li Banfeng couldn't see any order in it.

After tidying up the newspapers, Li Li Banfeng still slept in the Sixth Room tonight, but he brought the silk earrings with him.

At dawn, the phonograph entered the room again, the lens swept across the newspapers on the table, and "Man Chun Xiang" was also missing half.

The phonograph returned to the Fifth Room silently, and a faint light still flickered in the crack of the door.

Li Li Banfeng brought the silk earrings, lay outside the door, and listened carefully, finally hearing the phonograph's voice.

"Does it look good?"

Who is he talking to?

"Ouch, so shy!"

Who is this person?

Li Li Banfeng's forehead was sweating.

He was in the Portable Abode and heard the voice of a strange woman.
