Chapter 752

The Old Train said the Little Train doesn't know Residential Cultivation techniques.

The lady said her Residential Cultivation techniques all came from the house.

Was the lady not telling the truth, or was the Old Train deliberately testing?

Or, during the days the Old Train was trapped, did the Little Train evolve new functions?

Or are there other unknown existences in the Leaving Suishenju?

Li Li Banfeng got goosebumps all over, and suddenly heard the Old Train say: "So, the Little Train cannot be a house for a Residential Cultivator!"

Li Li Banfeng nodded: "That's right! It really can't!"

The Old Train said again: "So, are you really a Residential Cultivator?"

Li Li Banfeng shook his head: "Definitely not, I am an authentic Traveling Cultivator!"

"That's right, Residential Cultivators are not good things! Hehehe~" The Old Train laughed, and Li Li Banfeng laughed along.

After laughing, Li Li Banfeng immediately changed the subject: "Brother, I've been looking for Lai Lai Wuju's whereabouts lately."

"If this person is still alive, he is a great threat to the Puluo Continent."

The Old Train thought carefully: "Lai Lai Wuju followed Cong General Cong Shixiang back then. After the Imperial Court was defeated, Cong General Cong Shixiang went to the Villain's Ridge."

"I've been to the Villain's Ridge many times, and I've never seen Lai Lai Wuju. If there really was a good hand like Lai Lai Wuju, that Saint wouldn't be so composed."

"So I think Lai Lai Wuju is no longer in this world, or he went to Wansheng Continent like the rumors say."

"What kind of place is Wansheng Continent?"

The Old Train shook his head: "I haven't been there. There are many places in this world similar to Puluo Continent; I couldn't possibly walk through them all. Besides, the road to Wansheng Continent is too hard to walk."

"Lai Lai Wuju has been missing for so many years; I guess he won't show his face again. You don't need to worry too much about this matter."

"I'm going to stay in the Age-Wasteland for a while. I feel something is going to happen here; I feel there is danger in the Age-Wasteland."

While speaking, Li Li Banfeng also shuddered: "That's right, there is danger, and it came quite suddenly."

"It's not sudden!" The Old Train looked at Li Li Banfeng: "Yao Xin hasn't been here for just one day; he's been here for quite a long time, and I can't trust him."

Li Li Banfeng said: "Are you worried that Master Yao won't be able to train the Age-Wasteland Iron Cavalry?"

The Old Train shook his head: "I'm worried that he will let the Inner Province people in."

Li Li Banfeng frowned slightly: "How do you say that?"

The Old Train laughed repeatedly: "Because he was originally a man of the Imperial Court, why should I trust him? Hehehe!"

This laughter made Li Li Banfeng feel a bit strange.

The Old Train looked mysterious and said to Li Li Banfeng: "It's not just Yao Xin, there's also Zhao Zhao Xiaowan; I can't trust her either."

"She once used the alias Huang Huang Yuxian and fought a battle in the Age-Wasteland. Although she drove the Inner Province away, I still can't trust her. Do you know where Zhao Zhao Xiaowan is?"

Li Li Banfeng looked at the Old Train and was speechless.

The Leaving Suishenju said in Li Li Banfeng's ear: "A-Qi, stay away from him!"

Li Li Banfeng asked the Old Train: "Brother, did something happen to you?"

The Old Train's eyeballs looked left and then right, his face slightly fearful: "Do you think I'm different? I knew it would be like this after I took it back."

Li Li Banfeng said: "What did you take back?"

"I took back the other half!"

Li Li Banfeng's eyebrows and ears all jumped, very violently; the hat on his head almost fell off.

The Little Train said: "A-Qi, stay further away from him!"

"Don't worry!" Seeing Li Li Banfeng pull away, the Old Train waved his hand: "I didn't find it all back, I just found a part of it."

He said "you all."

Can he see the Little Train?

"Brother, didn't you say you didn't want to rush to find the other half?"

The Old Train explained: "I had nowhere to run after being chased by Ayi, and I really had no choice, so I ran to the Outer Province."

"When I got to the Outer Province, she was still chasing me, so I flew up. When I flew up, she couldn't catch me."

"But I'm different from you; I can't fly for too long. I don't have the technique of riding the wind and driving the clouds."

Li Li Banfeng said: "If you don't have the technique of riding the wind and driving the clouds, how did you fly up?"

Hearing this, the Old Train was a bit proud, and he laughed again: "I know the Industrial Cultivation technique, an Industrial Cultivation technique very similar to riding the wind and driving the clouds. It's called 'Wood Kite Stepping on the Void.' It flies very fast, but I don't have the physique of an Industrial Cultivator, so it's a bit strenuous to fly."

"You saw it when my shadow flew up; it really wasn't easy. So I thought, if I take back a bit more physique, I'll be able to fly for a long time, longer than a Traveling Cultivator can fly. So I found a part of myself back."

Li Li Banfeng asked: "Where did you find it back?"

"I went to—hehehe!" The Old Train laughed: "Trying to trick me? You protect Sun Sun Tiecheng so much; you must have learned many techniques from him, right? You want to know where my other half is, and then stab me in the back, right?"

Li Li Banfeng followed the Little Train's suggestion and continued to keep his distance from the Old Train.

The Old Train lowered his head, his body trembling for a moment: "Age-Wasteland, there is danger."

Li Li Banfeng nodded: "There is danger, and there is danger since you came."

"Is the danger me? Is it really me?" The Old Train's face was full of terror, his upper and lower teeth clattering against each other, his speech a bit stuttering: "It seems, it really is me—Old Qi, don't blame me, I don't want to be like this either."

"I have to take the other half of my body back, but I don't dare to take it all back. I can only take a part of it."

"My soul is complete, I can suppress this body, take it back bit by bit, I will definitely be able to suppress it slowly."

"This really doesn't blame you!" Li Li Banfeng shook his head: "Brother, leave the Age-Wasteland first, find a safe place to recuperate for a while."

"I'll listen to you, listen to you..." The Old Train turned and disappeared into the night.

Where did he take the other half back from?

Needless to say, it must be the Dark Star Bureau!

Li Li Banfeng tightened the gold bar, wanting to get in touch with A-Yu, but there was no movement from A-Yu's side.

After a little organization, Li Li Banfeng had already made a clear deduction.

The Old Train had nowhere to run after being chased by Ayi, went to the Outer Province, went to the Dark Star Bureau, and took back a part of his body.

That part of the body had always been binding A-Yu and the Heavenly Maiden in Cell No. 6.

Now the power binding A-Yu had weakened, and it was very likely that A-Yu and the Heavenly Maiden had already escaped from the Dark Star Bureau!

Ayi had stumbled into this kind of thing; she had actually...

Wait!

Was Ayi stumbling into it?

The Old Train had so many roads to take; why did he have to go to the Outer Province?

Did he want to go to the Outer Province himself, or was he forced to go to the Outer Province by Ayi?

Sometimes, is it thinking of Ayi too simply?

Is it possible she wanted to rescue A-Yu?

Must hurry back to the Dark Star Bureau to take a look.

Li Li Banfeng prepared to go to the Iron Gate Fortress, take the New Land, and go to Ban Yue Province.

He hadn't gone far when Li Li Banfeng stopped.

The Iron Gate Fortress couldn't be passed.

In order to prevent the Inner Province from invading the New Land, A-Yu had added a boundary line at the entrance of the New Land in the Iron Gate Fortress, and it was a very powerful boundary line; even the Dark Bridge Cannon might not be able to pass through it.

What to do now?

Take the train back?

The train was too slow; Li Li Banfeng thought of a faster method.

He ran back to Green Water City and boarded the Peddler's cloud directly.

Arriving at the white house on the cloud, Li Li Banfeng knocked on the door directly: "Sister-in-law, I'm here."

A familiar woman's voice came from the room: "What are you doing here? Your senior brother isn't at home!"

"It doesn't matter if Senior Brother isn't at home; I'm here specifically to find Sister-in-law. I want to go to the Dark Star Bureau, the location in the stairwell. Just send me directly to A-Yu's door; I promised to bring her something delicious."

The woman said angrily: "If you want to go to the Dark Star Bureau, why did you come to me? Who do you think I am? What kind of place do you think this is?"

If the one imprisoned in Cell No. 6 is A-Yu and the Heavenly Maiden, what is the identity of the woman in this house?

If A-Yu and the Heavenly Maiden have already escaped, will this woman still send me to the Dark Star Bureau?

"Sister-in-law, you're in the master bedroom, right? I really have an urgent matter. I'm coming in; I've already prepared the things."

"Just give me a ride."

Li Li Banfeng pushed the door and entered the master bedroom, walked a step inside, and arrived directly at the stairwell.

Glove opened the big iron door of the stairwell, and Li Li Banfeng saw Cell No. 6. He asked first: "Sister, are you there?"

There was no response from inside the cell.

Did A-Yu really run away?

Li Li Banfeng turned to leave, when he suddenly heard a voice from the cell: "You came to find me? Did you bring me something delicious?"

Is A-Yu still there?

Why didn't she answer just now?

Li Li Banfeng brought a lot of delicious food, including smoked meat from Desheng Smoked Meat Shop, roast chicken from Zuixian Building, vegetarian dishes from Qingxin Vegetarian Restaurant, and lamb noodles from Lanyang Village.

A-Yu reached out a hand from the cell door and took all the food and drink inside. First, he listened to the sound of chewing inside, and then heard A-Yu sigh: "The taste of Puluo Continent is just unforgettable."

"I'm full. What's the matter with you coming to find me?"

"I want to ask, have you seen any acquaintances in the past two days?"

A-Yu smiled: "Acquaintances every day. I'm quite familiar with the people from the Dark Star Bureau; they bring me things to eat."

》

"Are you still lacking this bite of food from them?"

"Lacking. Not just me, she lacks it too. Other things won't do; it has to be food from the Dark Star Bureau. If we don't eat, both of us sisters will starve to death."

Does the food from the Dark Star Bureau have this function?

"Besides the people from the Dark Star Bureau, have you seen any other acquaintances?"

"You're not asking about acquaintances; you're asking about a specific person!" A-Yu's tone suddenly became eerie, "Let me listen, who exactly do you want to ask about?"

A-Yu could hear inner thoughts; Li Li Banfeng wanted to block it, but it was too late.

"So you're asking about the Old Train. I'm also very familiar with him. He's in this building; I can see him often."

"I want to go out every day, but I can't go out because he's here. Are you worried that he'll harm me, or are you worried that I'll harm him?"

Li Li Banfeng smiled: "We're all old friends; saying that makes us distant. I was just thinking of the Old Train casually."

He hurriedly changed his inner thoughts and repeated a name in his mind: Lai Lai Wuju.

A-Yu soon heard the name: "Are you saying Lai Lai Wuju came to find me? You know about this?"

What's the situation?

Li Li Banfeng was shocked; he just wanted to change the subject, but he didn't expect to ask about such a big secret.

"Sister A-Yu, did Lai Lai Wuju really come to find you?"

A-Yu said: "This is a secret between me and Lai Lai Wuju, and I can't tell others. Tell me first, how did you know about this?"

Li Li Banfeng said: "I just guessed it randomly."

"You can guess so accurately?" A-Yu smiled, "Little brother, don't lie to me. Someone must have leaked the news to you. Was it the Old Train?"

"It wasn't the Old Train, I just said it casually," Li Li Banfeng shook his head repeatedly, "Is Lai Lai Wuju still alive?"

"He's alive! Who told you Lai Lai Wuju died?"

Li Li Banfeng asked again: "When did he come to find you?"

"Didn't I tell you? This is a secret and I can't tell you. Don't try to trick me anymore. Going down the slope isn't easy, and ironclad evidence isn't effective either. I don't buy your act!"

Whether you buy it or not, this slope has to be climbed.

"Sister, how is the Old Train doing lately? He set up many traps here; I'm really worried he'll hurt you."

"You care about sister so much?" A-Yu said coquettishly, "The Old Train is indeed unreasonable, always trapping us like this. I don't know when it will end. Why don't you go and persuade him?"

Li Li Banfeng nodded: "Fine, I'll go find him right now."

A-Yu smiled: "Silly boy, this building has thirty-six floors; are you going to search floor by floor? Let me inquire first to see where he is, and I'll tell you when I find out."

Li Li Banfeng stood at the door waiting, when he suddenly heard A-Yu say impatiently: "What are you doing? Are you rushing for your life? Didn't I tell you I have to inquire? Inquiring takes time."

"Sister, if I want to find you, how can I contact you?"

"Didn't I give you a piece of gold?"

"That piece of gold doesn't work. I tried to contact you before, but I couldn't get through. I see that sister doesn't care much about me either!"

"Oh, you heartless brat!" A-Yu was angry, "Is this how you talk to sister?"

"Don't say finding sister, even if you go to the Changsan Book Apartment to find a girl, you have to see if they are free, right? People are sleeping; you can't just drag them out of the quilt, right? Don't I have other things to do? Don't I eat and sleep? Don't I have to take care of her? If you call, I come out; what would that make me?"

Li Li Banfeng hurriedly cupped his hands: "Sister's lesson is reasonable. Little brother will wait for sister's news, and then I'll take my leave."

"Next time you come, bring more smoked meat, and bring another bowl of noodles. I quite like that taste."

Li Li Banfeng smiled: "Sister, you found the right person. If someone else went to buy it, these noodles would be sold by the root!"

A-Yu smiled: "I've eaten noodles like this too. The atmosphere in Puluo Continent is still so simple!"

Li Li Banfeng left the stairwell and returned to his office. The room had been cleaned spotlessly; Chen Chen Zhangrui was quite attentive in this regard.

A-Yu is still in the Dark Star Bureau; can that prove that the strength of the Industrial Cultivator Old Train hasn't been damaged and can still trap her?

But if the Industrial Cultivator Old Train hasn't been damaged, why could the Traveling Cultivator Old Train take back a part of the Industrial Cultivator's body? It doesn't make sense logically.

Or perhaps the Traveling Cultivator Old Train came, and the Industrial Cultivator Old Train's body suffered serious damage, but A-Yu doesn't know about this yet.

Could A-Yu not know about this?

In the Dark Star Bureau, especially the stairwell, what could be hidden from her?

Or perhaps the part of the power the Old Train took away was quite limited, and the damage suffered by the Industrial Cultivator Old Train wasn't serious and could still barely control A-Yu.

This explanation is the most reasonable, but this trend is hard to judge.

How much longer can the Old Train hold on? What if A-Yu comes out?

After A-Yu comes out, she will bring the Heavenly People out too. For the Puluo Continent, is this result good or bad?

Li Li Banfeng was thinking about this question when he suddenly heard an argument outside the door: "How long has this air conditioner not been cleaned?"

"Didn't I tell you that internal affairs work needs to be thoroughly rectified? Did you treat my words as wind in your ears?"

"But I think the air conditioner doesn't need to be cleaned—"

"You think it doesn't need to be cleaned? Take the filter screen down yourself and see how serious the dust accumulation is, and what a bad impact it has caused on the office environment of the Bureau!"

The logistics director was lecturing the newcomer.

Old Sun had retired, and a new young man in charge of logistics had come, named Lu Lu Jinglei.

The logistics director seemed to be talking about the air conditioner, but Li Li Banfeng knew that the real reason had little to do with the air conditioner.

Lu Lu Jinglei must have offended this director somewhere else.

But he didn't expect this young girl to have a temper. She directly found a ladder and, in front of the logistics director, dismantled the office air conditioner and took down the filter screen: "Director, take a look, is it clean or not?"

The air conditioner filter screen was spotlessly clean.

The logistics director's face turned black: "I'm not just talking about the air conditioner; I'm talking about your attitude. Can't I say a few words to you?"

"You can say anything to me, but what you told me at the beginning was to use limited funds to focus on dealing with some urgent logistics problems."

The logistics director asked: "Isn't cleaning the air conditioner a logistics problem?"

"It is a logistics problem, but it's not urgent. I did a spot check yesterday; the office air conditioners are all very clean. Spending limited funds on irrelevant matters, do you think it's appropriate?"

The logistics director was choked by a few words and couldn't bear it anymore. Just as he was about to lose his temper at Lu Lu Jinglei, he suddenly saw Li Li Banfeng walking out of the door with a smile on his face.

The logistics director immediately changed his expression: "Li Ju, you're back. I'll arrange for someone to clean your office immediately."

"No need to clean it. It's spotlessly clean here, and I was just about to praise you."

The logistics director looked at Lu Lu Jinglei, and a murmur rose in his heart.

Daily cleaning work was also Lu Lu Jinglei's responsibility. Li Ju's office hadn't been cleaned for days; why was it suddenly cleaned today?

Could Lu Lu Jinglei have known that Li Ju was coming back today?

That shouldn't be; even Director Chen didn't know Li Ju's whereabouts.

Lu Lu Jinglei held her head high, curled her lips, and didn't speak.

The logistics director's heart was drumming; this young girl was so arrogant, her background couldn't be simple.

When did she clean the air conditioner filter screen? Where did this expense come from?

Li Li Banfeng asked Chen Chen Zhangrui to find some information, not about the stairwell; Chen Chen Zhangrui couldn't produce decent information about the stairwell either.

What he wanted was information about Residential Cultivators, including recluses in the Outer Province.

Residential Cultivation techniques come from the Residential Spirit, and the Residential Spirit's techniques come from the house. Li Li Banfeng wanted to clarify one thing: where do the house's techniques come from?

The information provided by Chen Chen Zhangrui was very little, which made Li Li Banfeng a bit dissatisfied, thinking that Old Chen was playing tricks on him again.

This really couldn't blame Old Chen, because Li Li Banfeng himself was a Residential Cultivator, so he overlooked one thing: Residential Cultivation is an extremely cold and unpopular Sect.

The number of Residential Cultivators and recluses is very limited, and they all hide in their houses and don't want to come out. Places like the Iron Gate Fortress have extremely strong wariness toward the outside, making it very difficult for the Outer Province to conduct investigations. Due to various reasons, the Dark Star Bureau has very little information on Residential Cultivators.

Little as it was, Li Li Banfeng also found some useful information from the data.

Regarding the source of dark energy for the Residential Cultivator's residence, that is, the house, the Dark Star Bureau has conducted a certain degree of analysis and research.

The house's dark energy comes from two elements, neither of which can be dispensed with.

One is the Residential Cultivator.

The Residential Cultivator can awaken the house's ability to collect dark energy, thereby enabling the house to achieve fixed-direction evolution. Simply put, on the path of cultivation, the house and the Residential Cultivator upgrade together.

Because the direction of evolution is fixed, the Residential Cultivator will acquire fixed abilities from the dark energy during the upgrade process.

The residence cannot use these abilities alone; it will achieve ability transformation between non-living carriers and living carriers through dark energy conduction media, ultimately completing the joint possession of abilities.

Translated into Puluo Continent language, it means the residence teaches some techniques to the Residential Cultivator through the Residential Spirit. With the cooperation of the residence and the Residential Cultivator, they jointly exert the ability of the techniques.

The Dark Star Bureau's summary of recluses is—the dark energy users with the most complex dark energy mechanisms. Now, Li Li Banfeng finds it complex even when studying it himself.

The second factor, guiding environment.

If a residence wants to achieve fixed-direction evolution, it must have a special guiding environment. This concept is even more complex.

According to the Outer Province's research on recluses, after taking guidance agents, recluses may lead to disordered evolution of the residence, which produces a special kind of recluse. They have levels and combat power, but their techniques are extremely chaotic.

The root cause of disordered recluses is because their residences are in an environment without guidance.

And truly successful recluses have their residences in special geographical locations, that is, locations with a guiding environment.

Are Li Li Banfeng's techniques chaotic?

Definitely not.

The lady has seen powerful Residential Cultivators, and the techniques Li Li Banfeng learned are completely consistent with the lady's understanding of Residential Cultivators.

Then the question arises.

Is the Leaving Suishenju in a guiding environment?

Obviously not.

The Leaving Suishenju has always been following Li Li Banfeng everywhere and has never been in a fixed environment.

Then where do the Leaving Suishenju's techniques come from?

Where do Li Li Banfeng's techniques come from?

Thinking until late at night, Li Li Banfeng couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation.

Leaving the office, Li Li Banfeng saw Honeyed Fruit still busy.

She wasn't busy with her own work; she was busy cleaning. She cleaned her own workstation and went to tidy up Zhong Er's workstation.

Li Li Banfeng asked: "It's so late, why haven't you gone home yet?"

"Li Ju, I'll go after I tidy up."

"Let the cleaning staff tidy up tomorrow morning."

"It's just a handy thing, not much effort."

Seeing her tidying so seriously, she must be missing Zhong Er. Li Li Banfeng prepared to send Honeyed Fruit to Puluo Continent for a business trip for a few days so the two of them could meet.

He hadn't returned to his apartment for a long time. The moment Li Li Banfeng pushed the door, he vaguely smelled a scent of dust.

He called out all the Ghost Servants living in the house: "I usually let you clean it spotlessly; what has this room become? It's choking me just smelling it!"

The Ghost Servants looked at each other and hurriedly picked up tools to start cleaning.

Actually, they cleaned often, but it was very normal for the apartment to have a dusty smell after being unoccupied for a long time. Usually, Li Qi wasn't picky, but today, no one knew what happened; Li Qi was suddenly so fond of cleanliness.

Li Li Banfeng returned to the Leaving Suishenju, and his mood improved a lot, because the Leaving Suishenju was very clean.

But on second thought, Residential Spirits love cleanliness, not to mention he has two Residential Spirits; the outside environment definitely can't compare to the Leaving Suishenju.

But why was he so disgusted with the hygiene in the apartment today?

Was the hygiene in the apartment really that bad?

The next day, Li Li Banfeng returned to the Dark Star Bureau and continued to study the information related to Residential Cultivators. He found some special cases, special cases where residences not in a guiding environment showed guiding evolution.

Li Li Banfeng picked out these special cases and analyzed them for a whole day. When he got off work in the evening, Li Li Banfeng felt dizzy and wanted to go out for a walk, when he suddenly saw personnel from all departments, all carrying plastic bags, walking outside the building.

"What are you doing carrying bags?"

Seaweed Fruit answered: "Li Ju, we want to consciously maintain the environmental hygiene of the Bureau. The garbage we produce,"

"we take away ourselves after work."

"Isn't this the work of the cleaning staff?"

Flower Armor answered: "The cleaning staff carries out cleaning work every morning, but the garbage produced in the afternoon will be left in the Bureau overnight, which will cause a serious impact on the environment of the Bureau."

Li Li Banfeng frowned: "How serious can it be?"

Orange said very seriously: "Very serious. A good environment is an important factor in improving work efficiency, and a dirty and messy environment is a potential hidden danger leading to work errors."

Everyone agreed with Orange's statement, and even Chen Chen Zhangrui carried a garbage bag out of the office building.

Li Li Banfeng returned to his office and took a look. Should the documents scattered on the table be tidied up properly?

After tidying up the documents, Li Li Banfeng went downstairs and saw the spotlessly clean lobby. Li Li Banfeng felt that the hygiene environment of the Dark Star Bureau was no worse than the Leaving Suishenju.

This highlighted that the environment of the apartment was a bit terrible. "The environment in the Bureau is better, which is a good thing, very good..." Li Li Banfeng talked to himself all the way out of the office building gate, and saw Wo Wotou standing by the door covered in silt.

Wo Wotou was a backbone in the security team. Li Li Banfeng hurriedly asked: "What happened to you?"

"I went to carry out a mission and encountered a silt-accumulator. In Puluo Continent, they are called Mud Cultivators. I have already found the clues, but this outfit of mine—"

"Stop!" Li Li Banfeng's eyebrows stood up, "Can this kind of thing be said outside?"

Wo Wotou also knew it was inappropriate: "I want to return to the Bureau to report, but I'm too dirty, and I'm afraid of affecting the environment of the Bureau."

Li Li Banfeng's brain rang, and he suddenly woke up.

He returned to the lobby, waved at Wo Wotou and said: "Come in and talk."

"I, it's not appropriate—"

"I told you to come in!"

Wo Wotou knew Li Ju was angry, but he took a few steps forward and still didn't dare to enter the door.

Something happened!

Li Li Banfeng returned to his office, tightened the gold bar, and waited for a long time. He heard A-Yu's voice: "Little brother, what's the matter with finding me?"

Li Li Banfeng asked: "Sister, where are you exactly?"

"I'm still in the old place, hehehe!"
