Chapter 565: Seamless (Requesting Monthly Tickets)

After communicating with the vase for more than half an hour, Li Li Banfeng finally pulled his head out of the vase.

Comparing the diameter of the vase mouth and his own head, Li Li Banfeng truly didn't understand how his head got in, and how it came out.

He wanted to use the "Insightful Spiritual Sound" technique to communicate with the vase. He talked to the vase for a long time, but there was no response.

During the promotion process, Li Li Banfeng was certain he heard the vase's voice. Judging from that sentence at the time,

the vase's expressive ability was actually quite good.

Now, was it that she refused to speak, or was it that Li Li Banfeng couldn't understand?

Or was there some special situation during the promotion process?

Putting the speaking matter aside for now, Li Li Banfeng had a certain ability to control this vase: "Lady,

can the 'Counting Family Treasures' technique be used outside the house?"

"It can be used, but it depends on where it is used. The closer to the house, the easier it is to perform the technique. Our house is special. If the husband practices diligently, there will be many methods you can perform."

Li Li Banfeng hugged the vase, walked out of the Personal Residence, touched the vase's belly, and said gently: "Fly and let me see."

The vase struggled to float above the swamp, its flight height less than ten centimeters. It persisted for more than twenty seconds before falling into the silt.

Li Li Banfeng picked up the vase and carefully wiped off the mud.

The effect wasn't very ideal. This wasn't because the vase wasn't trying hard; for a Residential Cultivator, there was a great change in technique strength inside and outside the house.

Sending the vase back to the room, Li Li Banfeng returned to Hua Xiu Jie Xian Manor.

Ma Wu sat in the main hall, interrogating the women in the manor one by one. Anyone with hidden motives was taken down for separate discipline.

Li Li Banfeng called Feng Daiku and asked: "Where is Huahu Manchun's contract hidden?"

Feng Daiku said pleasantly: "Huahu Manchun is already dead?"

Li Li Banfeng nodded: "I killed him. His territory is now mine."

Feng Daiku was very happy, but she truly didn't know where Huahu Manchun's contract was hidden.

This was troublesome. Huahu Manchun had left too hurriedly and hadn't had time to say where the contract was. Finding the contract in the vast Hua Xiu Jie Xian Manor would not be easy.

Li Li Banfeng and Feng Daiku searched separately. Feng Daiku herself was an Earth Deity of the Proper Lands and was Huahu Manchun's neighbor, so she relied on experience to find the contract.

As for Li Li Banfeng, he relied on the glove. Relying on his fast footsteps and his ability to ride the wind, Li Li Banfeng searched bit by bit in Huahu Manchun's territory.

But the glove wasn't very reliable today. After leaving the Personal Residence, it was always timid, and most of the time it stayed in Li Li Banfeng's pocket, not even daring to show its head.

Li Li Banfeng patted the glove: "Brother, what's wrong? Are you sick?"

"I'm not sick, but I feel flustered. It was fine at home, but once I go out, all five fingers feel uneasy."

After searching for a whole day, Li Li Banfeng and Feng Daiku didn't find the contract. Ma Wu, on the other hand, had some gains.

He brought a woman named Axi. This woman was twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old and quite pretty, but because she took the wrong soap while serving Huahu Manchun, she angered Huahu Manchun, who banished her from the residence and sent her to the mountains to do heavy work like chopping wood and carrying water.

Axi told Li Qi and Feng Daiku about a past event: "At the beginning of the year, Miss Feng came to the manor

to discuss the boundary with the Manor Lord. Our Manor Lord seemed to have suffered a loss and asked Miss Feng to compensate him with things."

Feng Daiku remembered this matter and spat: "Huahu Manchun is truly shameless. Thinking about this makes me so angry I could bite. He snatched more than eighty li of my territory and made me redeem it with human energy. He even said he suffered a loss.

I gave him quite a bit of human energy, but he only returned half of the territory to me. As for the remaining half, he said there was red kudzu there and refused to return it. You say, how disgusting this person is!"

Ma Wu said to Axi: "Tell the story after that again."

Axi said: "The next day I went up the mountain to chop wood and met a bear. The bear had a leg... it wanted to eat me. I ran for more than ten li. The bear couldn't run fast, but it kept chasing.

Later, I really couldn't run anymore and fought it with a firewood knife. The bear had too much strength and knocked the firewood knife away.

My hand was cut and bled quite a bit. My hand was sticky, and when I lowered my head to pick up the firewood knife, a feather stuck to my hand.

The feather was stained with blood and suddenly caught fire. The fire burned wickedly, as if it wanted to burn my whole body. I was so scared I threw the feather away, and the bear was also scared away."

Feng Daiku said: "Was that feather from your Manor Lord's fan?"

"It looked familiar to me; it should be from his fan. I went up the mountain later to see if the feather was still there, but I couldn't find it after searching for a long time."

Feng Daiku said to Li Li Banfeng: "The events match. I promised to give Huahu Manchun human energy, and he said he didn't want to eat it for the time being and wanted me to store it in the Earth Deity Seal. He asked me to bring the human energy the next day.

When I went to find him the next day, I did see his Earth Deity Seal. He should have just gotten it from the contract side."

The context of the matter was very clear. Huahu Manchun went up the mountain to get the Earth Deity Seal and accidentally lost a feather, which saved Axi's life.

Li Li Banfeng and Feng Daiku followed Axi up the mountain and found the place where the feather was discovered. Feng Daiku looked at the surrounding environment and deduced several possible locations where the contract might be hidden. Li Li Banfeng searched through them with the glove,

and soon found the location of the contract.

Huahu Manchun's contract was hidden under the riverbed of a small river in the mountain stream. Li Li Banfeng dug up the contract and the Earth Deity Seal and first looked at Huahu Manchun's various pasts.

Huahu Manchun's reputation was so loud, and it truly wasn't blown out of proportion. Nineteen Earth Deity wars were recorded in the contract. Huahu Manchun lost five, and won the remaining fourteen.

It's just that he lost all five of these wars to the same person, the Green Water Bow.

No wonder Huahu Manchun's gaze was so gentle when mentioning Green Flower Child.

Feng Daiku and Huahu Manchun fought three times and lost all three, ceding more than a thousand square li of territory to Huahu Manchun.

Li Li Banfeng first put Huahu Manchun's contract under his own name, then established a contract to return all the land Feng Daiku had ceded.

Feng Daiku didn't know how to thank Li Li Banfeng: "Young Master Li, it was my own incompetence in the past that lost the territory, and I didn't dare to ask for it back.

Now, if you give me one or two hundred li, I will treat it as if I had exerted effort this time and accept it with a thick skin. You are giving me more than a thousand square li—how could I dare to accept this!"

"It was originally your land, why wouldn't you dare to accept it? In the future, if Hua Xiu Jie Xian Manor has any situation, I will have to rely on you and Old Five to take care of it."

This was the first time Li Li Banfeng had collected territory in front of others, and both Feng Daiku and Ma Wu saw it.

Li Li Banfeng wasn't worried about these two spreading the news. If Xuehua Pu dared to retaliate, Li Li Banfeng would collect one for every one that came.

Now that both Residential and Traveling Cultivation were on the second layer of the clouds, Li Li Banfeng no longer worried about the problem of cultivation backlash, so he simply collected Hua Xiu Jie Xian Manor's human energy first.

There was quite a bit of stock in the Earth Deity Seal. Li Li Banfeng collected for ten minutes before he finished.

Li Li Banfeng felt refreshed and walked around Hua Xiu Jie Xian Manor several times, familiarizing himself with the territory while honing his techniques.

Not only did he have to practice "Counting Family Treasures" and "Riding the Wind and Driving the Clouds," but "Shadow and Reflection Mourning Each Other" also had to be practiced well. What Li Li Banfeng wanted most was for "Shadow and Reflection Mourning Each Other" to be combined with Foolish Cultivation techniques, so he could fight and deceive at the same time, which was the true secret to victory.

But thinking about it again, Residential and Traveling Cultivation were constantly promoting, but Foolish Cultivation had no progress. Would this attract backlash?

Should he go find Senior Brother Sun and learn two more techniques?

Sun Sun Tiecheng folded his hands and squatted beside the copper lotus: "Brother, what you did wasn't authentic. We agreed on three Xiao Xuan Yun Pills, but you only gave two. What is the meaning of this?"

The red lotus leaves trembled, seemingly speaking. Sun Sun Tiecheng listened for a moment and frowned: "What? You still want auxiliary materials? Bamboo shoots of the iron-ribbed bamboo? This thing is on Bitter Wushan, it's not easy to get!"

While speaking, Sun Sun Tiecheng looked at Gui Gui Jianchou.

Gui Gui Jianchou hurriedly said: "City Lord Sun, both Xiao Xuan Yun Pills belong to you, I don't want them."

"How can that be!" Sun Sun Tiecheng took out a Xiao Xuan Yun Pill and stuffed it to Gui Gui Jianchou, "Ah Gui, this pill is yours. I keep my word. You'll have to trouble yourself to make a trip to Bitter Wushan."

"This won't do!" Gui Gui Jianchou returned the pill to Sun Sun Tiecheng, "I truly don't dare to go to Bitter Wushan."

"What are you afraid of?"

"Xu Han is guarding Medicine Yao Wang Gou. If I go to Bitter Wushan, can he spare me?"

"What are you afraid of him for?"

"Why shouldn't I be afraid of him? You should be clear about his skills. If he strikes a bit harder, it's hard to say whether I can come back alive. You still want me to get iron-ribbed bamboo?"

"You're not going, are you?" Sun Sun Tiecheng was angry.

Gui Gui Jianchou shook his head like a rattle: "I truly can't go. If you're angry, just kill me. Either way, it's death. Dying in your hands can at least earn a clean reputation."

Sun Sun Tiecheng scratched his head: "This old thing Xu Han is indeed not very clean."

He turned his face to look at the red lotus: "It must be iron-ribbed bamboo shoots. Won't other things do?"

The red lotus squeaked, seemingly responding. Gui Gui Jianchou could hear a little sound, but he truly couldn't hear clearly what the red lotus was saying.

Sun Sun Tiecheng looked at Gui Gui Jianchou again: "It doesn't make sense here, and there's no room for discussion here either?"

Gui Gui Jianchou lowered his head: "Other things can be discussed, but I definitely won't go to Bitter Wushan."

Sun Sun Tiecheng was angry: "If you don't go to Bitter Wushan, just squat at home for me!"

"Squat then!" Gui Gui Jianchou squatted on the ground, squatting very steadily.

"Don't get up until I come back!" Sun Sun Tiecheng left angrily.

"I won't get up!" Gui Gui Jianchou was a person with backbone. He squatted at the door and didn't get up, quietly watching Sun Sun Tiecheng go far away.

At the foot of Bitter Wushan, people were moving. Qiu Qiu Zhiheng wore a short shirt and carried a medicine basket, preparing to go up the mountain to pick medicine.

Qiu Qiu Zhiheng's business was getting bigger and bigger, and he already had three medicine shops in Medicine Yao Wang Gou. Picking medicine, by rights, didn't need him to do it personally, but the medicinal materials he needed to pick today were very special—the blood-skin apricots were ripe.

Blood-skin apricot is a medicinal material unique to Bitter Wushan. The fruit skin of this apricot is blood-red, but the flesh is white. Eating the dried flesh can heal various internal injuries.

The apricot pit is extremely bitter, and eating it can detoxify. Even some of the unique poisons of poison cultivators can be neutralized by the pits of blood-skin apricots.

The most precious part is the fruit skin, which can stop bleeding and replenish blood. People who have lost too much blood from external injuries, as long as their life is still there, can stop the bleeding by applying the skin to the wound, and eating two pieces of skin can replenish the blood.

The value of blood-skin apricots is far above snake-spotted chrysanthemums, and it is also far rarer than snake-spotted chrysanthemums. You can only see them in the deep mountains. Low-level cultivators don't dare to take risks, and high-level cultivators aren't willing to risk their lives for this, so major medicine shops can only rely on their own experts to go up the mountain to pick medicine.

Qiu Qiu Zhiheng's wife was worried: "Qiu Zhiheng, I think you'd better not go. It's not worth it for those few apricots. Let's look for them in Green Water City; perhaps we can buy a few."

They had already walked all over Green Water City and didn't find any blood-skin apricots for sale.

If it were just for the medicine shop's business, Qiu Qiu Zhiheng wouldn't be willing to take the risk. He picked the apricots this time for Yao Lao. Yao Lao had improved recently. Eating more apricot skin to replenish blood might wake him up.

"You go back and look after the medicine shop. I will definitely be home before dark." Qiu Qiu Zhiheng pinched his wife's chubby face and went up the mountain with his medicine basket.

On Bitter Wushan, thick fog didn't disperse all year round. Qiu Qiu Zhiheng was an eighth-layer Da Huan Xiu. Before reaching the halfway point of the mountain, the damage from the fog was still within the range he could bear. After passing the halfway point, the fog became thicker and thicker, and Qiu Qiu Zhiheng had to use his Da Huan Xiu technique to mobilize his blood to detoxify himself.

What was even more difficult to handle was that five or six meters away, everything was bright white, and nothing could be seen clearly.

How could he pick medicine in such thick fog? He couldn't even see where the apricot trees were; where could he find the apricots?

Qiu Qiu Zhiheng had a way.

He took a budding apricot flower from his bosom. He bought this apricot flower; it was the only one he could buy in all of Green Water City.

The flowering period of blood-skin apricots is very short. Some people picked some apricot flower buds while picking apricots and sold them to the grass cultivators in Green Water City. The grass cultivators preserved the apricot flowers, and fresh apricot flowers could be made into top-tier spices, the price of which was about the same as the apricots.

Qiu Qiu Zhiheng cut his palm and sprinkled some blood on the apricot flower. The budding apricot flower slowly bloomed, and a refreshing fragrance drifted into the distance.

This floral fragrance didn't drift with the wind; it drifted with a purpose and a direction.

Da Huan Xiu technique, "Lonely Seeking a Mate."

Qiu Qiu Zhiheng used his blood to give the apricot flower a strong desire to seek a mate. In the process of drifting, the pollen would actively search for the location of the blood-skin apricot tree based on its strong nature.

Relying on his sense of smell, Qiu Qiu Zhiheng followed the floral fragrance and walked for dozens of li along the mountain road.

Walking beside a forest, the floral fragrance became more and more intense. Qiu Qiu Zhiheng knew he wasn't far from the apricot tree.

As long as he found one apricot tree, today would be a success. One tree had at least a hundred apricots, enough for Yao Lao to take, and he could keep some for emergencies.

Qiu Qiu Zhiheng quickened his pace and walked for a few more li. He suddenly stopped. Someone had been following him for half an hour.

An eighth-layer Da Huan Xiu could almost find no opponents among ordinary people, but on Bitter Wushan, Qiu Qiu Zhiheng had to be cautious. The intense poisonous fog would severely weaken combat power, and different Daoist sects had very different resistances to the poisonous fog.

Once he encountered a poison cultivator, even if the opponent was only sixth-layer, Qiu Qiu Zhiheng had to think of a retreat before fighting.

Qiu Qiu Zhiheng stopped, and the person following him also stopped. The two sides were deadlocked for a moment, but the person still walked up.

"Boss Qiu, I've followed you all the way. I originally wanted to borrow your light to find something good, but I was too embarrassed to speak because of my face."

Walking up close was a middle-aged man in his fifties, with a thin and tall figure, a face full of wrinkles, and wearing a long shirt with a satin surface.

Qiu Qiu Zhiheng couldn't remember where he had seen this person and simply asked directly: "How should I address you?"

"Boss Qiu, don't you remember me? My name is Fan Fan Zhongfu. I bought medicine at your shop yesterday."

Qiu Ji Medicine Shop had to receive many guests every day, and Qiu Qiu Zhiheng wasn't at the counter most of the time. Even if this person had really come to buy medicine, he couldn't possibly remember.

But since the other party mentioned it, Qiu Qiu Zhiheng still responded: "Mr. Fan, nice to meet you. You came up the mountain today,

what medicine are you picking? If it's a medicinal material that I know, I can also point you in the right direction."

Fan Fan Zhongfu said: "I'm here at Bitter Wushan for the first time. I don't know what good medicinal materials are here. Whatever medicine you pick, I'll follow you.

If you pick something good and have some to spare, I'll follow and pick a little. If there really isn't any, I won't dare to ask you for it. I'll just treat it as gaining some insight by following you."

This was pure nonsense.

If you were talking about farming in the fields, following an old farmer to gain some insight would be reasonable.

This is Bitter Wushan. Coming up the mountain without any purpose, risking the danger of being poisoned, just to gain some insight? How could this kind of talk deceive Qiu Qiu Zhiheng?

Qiu Qiu Zhiheng put the apricot flower into the basket, looked at Fan Fan Zhongfu, and said: "Mr. Fan, please tell me the truth. What exactly are you looking for me for?"

Fan Fan Zhongfu smiled: "Didn't I already say it? I'm here to learn your skills in picking medicine."

Qiu Qiu Zhiheng shook his head: "I'm not picking medicine anymore. I'm going down the mountain right now. Do you have anything else?"

Fan Fan Zhongfu was silent for a moment and said: "Since you're not picking medicine, let me ask you something else. Do you know a person named Li Qi?"

"I know him," Qiu Qiu Zhiheng nodded, "What do you want with him?"

Fan Fan Zhongfu said: "Nothing major. I'm from Xuehua Pu, and he has some grievances with our Pu. I want to ask you, if you send a message for him and ask him to come to Medicine Yao Wang Gou, can he come?"

"That depends on what you want with him."

"You just tell him it's a matter of life and death," Fan Fan Zhongfu thought for a moment, "Or you can just be direct. You just tell him that if he doesn't come, you will lose your life, and your whole family will lose their lives."

Qiu Qiu Zhiheng's eye corners twitched, and he prepared to use a technique. Before he could exert force, the technique was interrupted.

The short shirt on his body tightened suddenly, making Qiu Qiu Zhiheng unable to breathe.

"Don't be stupid," Fan Fan Zhongfu didn't make any moves, but could manipulate Qiu Qiu Zhiheng's clothes at will. This was a high-level Clothing Cultivator, "I don't want to kill you, and I don't want to kill your family even more. I just want to bring Li Qi here and ask him a few questions to understand clearly.

As long as you and Li Qi have a good relationship, and as long as you can invite Li Qi to Medicine Yao Wang Gou, everything between us will be easy to talk about."

Qiu Qiu Zhiheng used a Da Huan Xiu technique on himself, forcing himself to become excited, and the muscles on his upper body expanded rapidly, wanting to forcibly burst the short shirt on his body.

But this short shirt made of ordinary clothing materials now seemed to have added steel bars and iron bones. No matter how Qiu Qiu Zhiheng exerted force, there was not the slightest damage.

Fan Fan Zhongfu patted Qiu Qiu Zhiheng's face: "Great Steward Qiu, having followed the Lu family for so many years, you should have some vision. I reported the name of Xuehua Pu, and you still don't know the depth of this place?

Saying one more word to you is already me thinking highly of you. I am trying to persuade you with patience, why are you still so ignorant? The lives of your whole family are in my hands. I only need to move my fingers slightly..."

"Are you here to pick medicine?" A middle-aged man walked up to the two and asked, "Which one of you knows where the iron-ribbed bamboo is?"

This man looked to be in his fifties, wearing coarse cloth clothes, his face full of dust and sweat, looking like an honest and simple person.

This man appeared in front of them silently, making Fan Fan Zhongfu somewhat wary. He smiled and said: "You're looking for iron-ribbed bamboo? I know where it is. Come closer, and I'll tell you."

The man folded his hands and walked to Fan Fan Zhongfu, tilting his ears to listen carefully.

Fan Fan Zhongfu pulled at the man's clothes and pulled a thread from the clothes: "Your clothes are too broken, the fabric is falling apart."

The middle-aged man smiled honestly: "I'm not picky about what I wear. As long as I have clothes, it's fine. These clothes look a bit broken, but they are warm to wear—"

As soon as the words fell, Fan Fan Zhongfu retracted his wrist.

The clothes on the middle-aged man tightened immediately, turning into a ball of thread the size of a fist.

The man's whole body was squeezed into the ball of thread. Blood flowed down the silk threads with a splash.

Fan Fan Zhongfu held the ball of thread and played with it twice, then smiled at Qiu Qiu Zhiheng: "This technique is called 'Seamless.' This ball of thread is the seamless heavenly clothing. It can collect you, and it can collect your wife and children.

As long as the bones, flesh, and internal organs are all crushed, it will be a ball this size. Your whole medicine shop has hundreds of people, all of whom can be collected. If you don't believe it, let's try. Great Steward Qiu, now that things have reached this point, you should be able to understand. If you don't understand, I can change the method and tell you again."

Qiu Qiu Zhiheng didn't speak and still wanted to fight to the death. The gap between the two sides was so huge that he knew even if he submitted,

Fan Fan Zhongfu wouldn't let him go.

Seeing Qiu Qiu Zhiheng still resisting, Fan Fan Zhongfu groped around Qiu Qiu Zhiheng for a moment and found a thread: "This is a thread on your clothes. I only need to pull this thread, and your clothes can tighten, tightening to the same size as the ball of thread, squeezing your body into this ball.

Don't worry, you won't die. I can still leave your head so you can see your wife and children one last time.

If you listen to me and obediently bring Li Qi here, today's matter—"

"You want to find Li Qi," the middle-aged man folded his hands and stood behind Fan Fan Zhongfu, "What do you want with him? Tell me, I'm very familiar with Li Qi!"

Fan Fan Zhongfu looked at the ball of thread in his hand. The ball of thread was very heavy and still bleeding.

He looked at the middle-aged man behind him again. The middle-aged man was honest and simple, and completely unharmed.

This middle-aged man was still behind him, so who was in this ball of thread?

Fan Fan Zhongfu couldn't understand it. Sun Sun Tiecheng thought for him: "I say the person in this ball is you yourself. Do you believe it?"

PS: Fan Fan Zhongfu is about to usher in the high-light moment of his life.

It's 4:30 in the morning. The exhausted Salad asks all readers for tickets. ===== CHAPTER 566 =====
