Chapter 70

Who exactly burned the Geng Family Pharmacy?

Yu Nan fell into deep thought, but the clerks in the shop didn't have so many thoughts.

They were waving their fists, roaring, and many had already shed tears.

Wang Xuejiao was the first to shed tears: "Old Eight, did you hear? The Geng Family Pharmacy was burned down by someone, and Geng Zhiwei, that bastard, was burned to death.

Old Eight, sister has no ability and can't avenge you. Heaven has opened its eyes and let the gods in heaven descend to avenge us."

People around shouted one after another: "Geng Zhiwei, that bird man, has done all kinds of evil; Heaven must have wanted to take him!"

"He just attacked us, and the Geng Family Pharmacy caught fire. This is cause and effect; this is retribution!"

Everyone became more and more excited, but Yu Nan hadn't thought of the answer yet.

The Geng Family Pharmacy had been arrogant for these years and had indeed offended many people. There were indeed many people who wanted to retaliate against Geng Zhiwei.

But the Geng Family Pharmacy had the Jiang Xiang Gang backing it. How many people really dared to attack the Geng Family Pharmacy?

The Four Great Families?

Impossible, they wouldn't look at characters like the Geng Family Pharmacy.

The Three Great Gangs?

Also impossible, they generally wouldn't entangle with the Jiang Xiang Gang; it would lose their status and they wouldn't make any profit.

Last night, Li Qi insisted on staying at the old residence, and now the old residence has been burned. It is estimated that Li Qi must have fought with Geng Zhiwei.

Could it be that Li Qi broke into the Geng Family Pharmacy alone and burned the pharmacy?

This is even more impossible. Song Baiming, the head guard of the Geng family, is no vegetarian, and there are many elite soldiers and fierce generals under his command. Relying on Li Qi alone, it is impossible to be their opponent.

Or did Li Qi have many connections, brought people to burn the Geng Family Pharmacy, and killed Geng Zhiwei?

If he had this ability, he wouldn't have let Qin Xiaopang suffer so much, and he wouldn't have hidden in the old Yu residence.

If this matter really had something to do with Li Qi, it would completely subvert Yu Nan's cognition of the entire Jianghu.

Old warehouse keeper Zhang Shiquan reminded Yu Nan: "Shopkeeper, set off quickly. Geng Zhiwei is dead, and the Jiang Xiang Gang will inevitably take action. With such a big commotion, they won't let us go!"

The old warehouse keeper was right; this was the serious matter. Yu Nan hurriedly led everyone to set off, striving to reach the new land before dark.

After taking a bath and eating dinner, Li Banfeng slept in his Personal Residence; he really couldn't get used to sleeping anywhere else.

After waking up, the Copper Lotus opened, and four lotus seeds appeared inside.

The first three lotus seeds each burst out two red pills.

Li Banfeng originally had ten red pills in his hand; now he had sixteen. With more things, Li Banfeng didn't cherish them much.

But according to Yu Nan, this pill is called the Profound Burning Pill, which can be exchanged for ten days of cultivation, 150,000 each.

Sixteen pills can be sold for 2.4 million. Adding previous savings, deducting the expenses during this period, and deducting the money for treating Little Fatty and buying yellow paper, Li Banfeng has a family fortune of 3,281,122.84 yuan.

This money is enough to buy a house in Yuezhou.

Of course, the premise is being able to return to Yuezhou.

Can this money be exchanged for a road pass?

It is estimated that there is no big problem; just find the right way.

Is this all of Li Banfeng's family fortune?

Of course not!

When Geng Zhiwei and the two Martial Cultivators entered the door, they also held a box of silver dollars and four boxes of banknotes.

"You say, you come, and you bring so many things..." Li Banfeng felt a bit embarrassed.

He opened the box and counted carefully.

There were only 920 silver dollars in the box, not too many.

But if you convert it according to the odds of 500 yuan per pill, it's 460,000.

How much money is in the four banknote boxes?

The first box had 860,000, the second box had 920,000, the third box had less, 730,000, and the last box had 970,000.

The four boxes added up to 3.48 million. Any box was more valuable than the box of silver dollars.

Li Banfeng really couldn't understand why Geng Zhiwei wanted to hold that box of silver dollars, but gave the four boxes of banknotes to his subordinates.

3.48 million plus 460,000 is 3.94 million.

Adding previous savings, not counting the fractions, there are 7.22 million.

This is no longer a down payment problem.

Of course, there is also the 500,000 for Old Yao; the Medicine King's money must not be owed.

"I, this person, don't look at money very heavily." Li Banfeng sighed.

Chi!

The phonograph sprayed a mouthful of steam.

"But I always feel that making money in Puluo Continent is much easier than in Yuezhou." Li Banfeng sighed again.

This time the phonograph didn't mock him.

This money was indeed easy to earn.

Putting the property in order, Li Banfeng stared at the last lotus seed, feeling a bit uneasy in his heart.

This lotus seed still hadn't exploded.

Li Banfeng was a bit worried; if it exploded too violently, or exploded into some special existence, it might cause injury.

He placed the lotus seed in the corner of the main room and hid behind the phonograph himself.

Crack-crack-crack~

After waiting for nearly half an hour, the lotus seed finally cracked.

It just cracked, didn't explode.

Li Banfeng approached cautiously, put on a pair of cotton gloves, peeled off the shell of the lotus seed, and revealed the pill inside.

A deep purple pill, just one.

The pill was crystal clear, a circle larger than the Profound Burning Pill. From a distance, Li Banfeng could smell the medicinal fragrance that made people feel happy.

"What pill is this?" Li Banfeng muttered to himself.

Chi! Chi! Chi!

"Feed me husband," the phonograph suddenly spoke, startling Li Banfeng.

"This pill is a rare treasure; husband must keep it safe."

"Rare treasure?" Li Banfeng looked at the phonograph, not expecting her to know pills.

This is a good thing. If his own wife knows pills, why bother trying to find someone else to identify them?

"Wife, what is the use of this pill?"

"Feed me husband, this pill has great use, but my stomach is empty, and I can't remember for a while~"

Stomach is empty...

Wanting something to eat again.

Just ate three fresh vengeful spirits last night, and you're hungry today?

"Wife, at this rate of eating, husband can't afford to raise you~~"

Huff!

The phonograph hummed, played gongs and drums, and began to sing: "I have followed my husband with all my heart, but I can't even get enough to eat and drink. I am sad, my life is bitter~"

"Wife, don't cry first; let's talk about the efficacy of the pill..."

Huff!

The phonograph hummed again: "My stomach is hungry, I can't remember, husband find someone who knows the business and sell this pill."

Li Banfeng's eyes lit up: "How much money can it be exchanged for?"

"Huff husband, I'm just hungry, I just can't remember~"

Li Banfeng's face turned blue with anger: "You only know how to eat, and you don't grow meat after eating, your whole body is cold and hard; where is there any appearance of a wife?"

Huff!

Huff!

Water droplets overflowed from the horn, and the phonograph was crying.

"Husband mocks me~ huff, husband is not good to me~ huff!" The phonograph sang while sobbing.

Li Banfeng sighed helplessly: "At least tell me the name of this pill; I'll exchange it for money, and then get you something good to eat."

"Husband doesn't lack money at all, huff~, husband just doesn't want to give it to me to eat, huff~"

Li Banfeng couldn't stand the phonograph's nagging and prepared to go out for a walk.

He took the pistol Geng Zhiwei sent.

This wasn't a revolver. Li Banfeng had no research on firearms, couldn't call the model, pulled the barrel for a long time, couldn't chamber the bullet, and couldn't pull the trigger.

What's the use of carrying this thing?

Li Banfeng put the pistol aside and took out the iron thorn given by the Martial Cultivator.

"This iron thorn is still handy."

Li Banfeng waved the iron thorn twice, and the phonograph really couldn't watch anymore.

Chi! Chi! Chi!

She was mocking Li Banfeng.

"Feed me husband, you carry this weapon, where are you going?"

"Going to buy vegetables!" Li Banfeng brushed her off casually.

"Buy vegetables? Really!" The phonograph became interested and stopped mocking Li Banfeng. "Husband, this weapon in your hand is not called an iron thorn; this is called an iron ruler, a sharp weapon for both attack and defense."

A long thorn with two small thorn branches on both sides, this weapon is called an iron ruler.

Li Banfeng was stunned for a long time, and suddenly remembered something. He seemed to have seen the name "iron ruler" somewhere.

On TV?

Even if he saw it on TV, Li Banfeng couldn't call the name.

In a novel?

Possible, it should have been seen from some kind of text...

Li Banfeng remembered. It wasn't a novel, but a martial arts classic, taken from the old lady's eldest son's house.

Li Banfeng ran into the outer room.

Among the martial arts classics collected by Decai, there was a classic introducing strange weapons.

The classic collected various strange weapons, among which was a special introduction about the iron ruler.

The attack method of the iron ruler is relatively simple, mainly based on stabbing. The two branched small thorns are mainly used for defense.

The description in the text is always not so intuitive. Li Banfeng practiced a few times and felt that the iron ruler was not easy to use, so he turned to look at the fork, the fork formed by two intersecting crescents.

"Wife, what is this pair of things called?"

The phonograph was a bit impatient: "Husband, no need to carry so many weapons, hurry up and go out to buy vegetables."

"How can I buy vegetables without weapons?" Li Banfeng was angry and scolded the phonograph: "Is it easy for me to be in a rain of bullets and swords outside? You don't even teach me how to use weapons? How can I find things for you to eat?"

Huff-huff~

A cloud of steam came out of the horn while shaking.

The phonograph was ashamed.

"Husband, don't be angry, I was wrong. That pair of weapons is called Mandarin Duck Axes; it's not something that can be learned in a day or two."

"Husband, I'll teach you how to use this iron ruler first,"

"Husband, stand firm, stab one ruler flat first!"

"Husband, steady your hand, slower, practicing martial arts requires perseverance and patience,"

"I just like this courage of my husband, I just like this perseverance of my husband, I just like this bearing of my husband."

Opera recitation, following the unique singing style of the steam phonograph, every word was full of tenderness.

Li Banfeng felt very warm. He and the phonograph had unprecedented trust and resonance. Following the phonograph's guidance, he constantly polished his martial arts.

The phonograph didn't notice this resonance; she kept encouraging Li Banfeng:

"Husband has good talent, husband learns fast, husband's stabbing is accurate and steady!"

"Husband, don't be too anxious, look at the strength,"

"Husband, that... don't be so forceful yet, don't point the iron ruler at me,"

"Husband, you, how did you get another ruler?"

"Husband, you, this ruler, don't point it at me either..."
