Chapter 757: Walking Wider and Wider

~24 min read 4,721 words

"Practiced to this degree, and 'Connecting the Cave Chamber' is still only considered medium-rare?" Li Li Banfeng had already connected the Personal Residence and the Jade Pavilion. He felt that this technique had already been practiced to the limit.

Jiang Linger shook her head slightly and said, "One of your houses entered another house, and you just built a bridge in the middle. It was taking advantage from the start."

Just as she finished speaking, Li Li Banfeng heard a burst of laughter: "Hehehe!"

The laughter came from the Personal Residence.

Afterwards, he heard two coughs, and a woman's voice rang in his ear: "Girl, that's not how you say it. His way doesn't count as entering."

This was the Jade Pavilion speaking.

After so many days, the Personal Residence and the Jade Pavilion seemed to have become familiar with each other.

Li Li Banfeng thought about it and it was true. If the Personal Residence and the Jade Pavilion were connected, passing through would indeed take a lot of advantage. He said to Jiang Linger: "I will retreat to the courtyard. If I can still walk through the two houses, that will prove I have succeeded."

Jiang Linger shook her head and said, "The courtyard is not far enough."

"I will leave the Marquis Mansion."

"Still not far enough."

"Then I will leave the Boundless City."

"Still not far enough."

Li Li Banfeng couldn't understand: "How far is considered far?"

Jiang Linger said, "Do you remember that I made a cloud for you in the sky?"

"I remember!"

"You go to the cloud, build a house, and if you can use 'Connecting the Cave Chamber' to connect the Jade Pavilion and the house on the cloud, only then can you be considered to have learned the essence of more than seven points."

Li Li Banfeng thought about this distance and shook his head repeatedly: "This is a bit too difficult."

Jiang Linger sighed: "That's why I said, you only learned seven points of this technique, just enough to scare laymen."

Her words were unpleasant, but they were the truth.

Thinking of the Peddler's house on the cloud, which could send Li Li Banfeng directly to the Dark Star Bureau, if the other party really used 'Connecting the Cave Chamber', his current strength might really only be seven points.

Li Li Banfeng said: "Connecting to the house on the cloud, it should be considered learning ten points, right?"

Jiang Linger shook her head and said: "Still far from ten points, only eight points."

Li Li Banfeng widened his eyes: "This still counts as eight points?"

Jiang Linger said: "Although you reached the cloud, you are ultimately still in the territory of the Shang Kingdom. Eight points is not bad."

》

Thinking carefully, it was indeed the truth.

The Heavenly Maiden's 'Connecting the Cave Chamber' technique could cross the boundary between Puluo Continent and the Outer Continent. "If I can also fly from the Inner Continent to Puluo Continent, it would be ten points, right?"

"Still not." Jiang Linger still shook her head.

Li Li Banfeng was confused: "How can it be considered ten points? Can this technique never be finished?"

Jiang Linger put down the needle and thread in her hand: "Just two houses definitely won't reach ten points. I don't know if you have heard an old saying: all Dao Sects in the world have paths that get narrower and narrower, only Residential Cultivators walk wider and wider."

Li Li Banfeng thought for a long time. He seemed to have some impression, but couldn't remember who said this.

The one who said this was actually Red Lotus. At that time, in order to control Mr. Kong Fang's money, Li Li Banfeng was concentrating on performing the technique, so he didn't pay much attention.

Now that Jiang Linger mentioned it, Li Li Banfeng was a bit curious: "What exactly does this sentence mean?"

Jiang Linger thought for a moment and gave Li Li Banfeng an example: "Take the most hateful Traveling Cultivator in the world as an example—"

Li Li Banfeng pulled out the feather duster.

Jiang Linger didn't know what to say.

Suddenly, the Jade Pavilion spoke: "Son-in-law, don't make things difficult for my daughter. She doesn't know how to speak, so you should bear with her more."

"Take the Traveling Cultivator of the Dao Sect closest to us as an example. Traveling Cultivators pay attention to traveling all over the world, to the ends of the earth, reaching everywhere."

"This is the foundation of the Traveling Cultivator's cultivation."

"But there are some dangerous places in the world that are destined not to be visited, and Traveling Cultivators want to increase their cultivation, but they insist on trekking in dangerous places. One day, they will walk into a desperate situation in their cultivation."

"Other Dao Sects are the same. Poison Cultivators want to eat all the poisonous things in the world, and sooner or later they will poison themselves to death. Joy Cultivators want to enjoy all the joys in the world, and sooner or later they will exhaust themselves to death."

"Food Cultivators will sooner or later overeat to death, Alcohol Cultivators will sooner or later drink themselves to death, Thief Cultivators will sooner or later be beaten to death, Gambling Cultivators are courting death every day, Literary Cultivators and Martial Cultivators seem to have a path, but they temper their minds and muscles year after year. Who can bear that hardship? If they get tired of it one day, they might be driven crazy by cultivation."

"Even Lazy Cultivators can't escape the disaster. When they are lazy to a certain extent, they don't even want to breathe, and in the end, they merge with the objects of heaven and earth. Life and death no longer have any distinction for them."

"Hmph!" The Judge's Pen hummed at his waist.

Li Li Banfeng said: "Why are Residential Cultivators different?"

The Jade Pavilion said: "Because Residential Cultivators have houses and house spirits. Houses and house spirits can protect Residential Cultivators. All kinds of dangers are borne by the houses and house spirits for the Residential Cultivators."

"A house can be built bigger and bigger, and a Residential Cultivator can have more than one house. Traveling Cultivators want to travel all over the world, but Residential Cultivators aim for 'the world is mine'. Which path is wider, it can naturally be seen."

The world is mine?

This was too big a statement.

Li Li Banfeng didn't think about the world for the time being. He just wanted to learn 'Connecting the Cave Chamber' thoroughly.

According to Jiang Linger's suggestion, he prepared to take a trip to the cloud.

He pushed open the door and walked down the stairs, thinking he could return to the thirteenth room of the Personal Residence, but actually returned to the first floor of the Jade Pavilion.

This didn't matter. Collecting the key to the Personal Residence on the first floor, Li Li Banfeng let the Luo sisters control the Boundless City and took him to the cloud used for promotion.

Using the Cloud Gate technique to reach the cloud, Li Li Banfeng returned to the Personal Residence and tried to contact the Jade Pavilion.

Five hours later, Li Li Banfeng's eyes were bloodshot, and he returned to the main room. He didn't succeed.

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan persuaded: "Husband, this cannot be rushed. Putting the distance so far from the start, how can it be easily learned."

Xiang Xiang Hongying also persuaded from the side: "Seventh Brother, learning 'Connecting the Cave Chamber' to seven points is enough. Every time after the cave chamber,"

"Doesn't it make Zhao Xiaowan feel cold?"

Li Li Banfeng thought about the connection: "Wife, do you think 'Joy Earth' might work?"

The Wife gave Xiang Xiang Hongying a slap: "You were led astray by this cheap hoof!"

Li Li Banfeng took out 'Joy Earth' from the cabinet, ate a little, and then went to the thirteenth room to practice the technique.

This was the experience he saved in school. The day before the exam, even if he was too sleepy to open his eyes, he still had to read. Concentrating his energy on a special position could effectively resist sleepiness.

Tried for another two hours, Li Li Banfeng was almost unable to stand steady.

The Wife persuaded: "Husband, you can't use the technique anymore. If you continue like this, there will be danger!"

Li Li Banfeng also sensed danger, but he found that the induction of the technique was getting closer and closer to him.

There is danger, and then rush forward. Isn't this 'going one's own way'?

Under the impetus of 'going one's own way', Li Li Banfeng's perception became sharp, and his control over the technique became more delicate.

His fingernails kept groping on the wall, and finally touched a crack.

The Wife stepped forward to help, cooperating with Li Li Banfeng to push the crack open together, and a staircase appeared behind the door.

The staircase was slightly blurry, and didn't seem to be completely solid. Li Li Banfeng reinforced the technique and took a step onto the staircase.

Gu Dong!

Li Li Banfeng's legs went soft, and he slid down from the staircase.

It wasn't the staircase's problem; it was Li Li Banfeng who was too exhausted.

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan helped Li Li Banfeng up: "Husband, shall we go home and rest for a while?"

Li Li Banfeng waved his hand: "Don't go home, go upstairs first, let Jiang Linger see what kind of talent I am!"

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan persuaded: "Linger doesn't have any schemes when she speaks, husband don't be the same as her!"

"Today I must let her see! Help me upstairs!"

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan helped Li Li Banfeng upstairs. This staircase walk felt a bit wrong.

This was definitely not the Jade Pavilion's staircase. The Jade Pavilion's staircase was covered with red carpet, and the railings and handrails had exquisite carvings and decorations. This staircase had no railings or handrails, only bare wooden boards.

In fact, when Li Li Banfeng first went from the Personal Residence to the Jade Pavilion, he didn't walk the Jade Pavilion's staircase either. That staircase wasn't as exquisite as the Jade Pavilion's, but it wasn't as rough as the one in front of him.

Li Li Banfeng believed that that staircase was a passage between the little train and the Jade Pavilion. The equipment on the train was as simple as possible, and the furnishings in the attic were relatively gorgeous. That staircase belonged to the product of the combination of the two.

The staircase in front of him was neither simple nor gorgeous. The wooden boards were quite wide, and they creaked when stepped on. Zhao Zhao Xiaowan was really afraid that if she used too much force, she would break the staircase board.

Arriving at the second floor, he didn't see a door, only saw an empty room.

There were no furnishings in the room, only a large amount of dust, as if no one had lived there for more than ten years.

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan looked at Li Li Banfeng and asked: "Husband, where did you hide Linger?"

Li Li Banfeng frowned: "You say it like I harmed her!"

This was clearly not the Jade Pavilion, but Li Li Banfeng also couldn't understand why he came to this place when he used 'Connecting the Cave Chamber'.

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan knocked on the wall and checked the floor again. Li Li Banfeng was a bit speechless: "Precious wife, are you worried that I hid Jiang Linger's household head here?"

"How could that be!" Zhao Zhao Xiaowan laughed dryly, "I know husband is not that kind of person."

She groped along the wall and pushed open the room's window. A beam of sunlight shone in, and the room became a bit more transparent.

"Although it's an old house, it's quite good to tidy it up, and this courtyard is quite large, with quite a few trees."

"These trees grow—.. -Husband, these trees don't seem to be growing on the ground."

Li Li Banfeng came to the window and looked out.

Outside was a forest, which looked quite familiar.

He followed the window, jumped into the forest, and looked up at the whole house.

This was a three-story wooden house. The first floor had five wooden houses, two large and three small. The second floor had three wooden houses, one large and two small. The third floor had two rooms, one large and one small. The ten wooden houses were connected to each other, with different architectural styles, clearly not from the same person, but pieced together from ten rooms using some kind of technique.

This was indeed Li Li Banfeng's house, a house that had almost been forgotten.

Why did he come here?

"Wife, where is the big bunch of keys I brought home back then?"

Hearing this, the Wife knew what place this was: "Is this the house the Peddler gave you?"

Li Li Banfeng nodded. It was indeed in Gourd Village.

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan still couldn't quite believe it: "Husband has great skills, using 'Connecting the Cave Chamber', he could actually connect Gourd Village!"

Connecting to Gourd Village and connecting to Boundless City were two different concepts.

Gourd Village was not an ordinary place. Under A Yi's control, it could shuttle between the Inner Continent, the Outer Continent, and Puluo Continent.

This kind of thing could currently only be done by the Personal Residence, and that was after finding eight railway tracks.

The effect of this 'Connecting the Cave Chamber' technique was no less than transferring directly from Puluo Continent to the Dark Star Bureau.

The Wife looked into the depths of the forest. This cloud was very large, and there were small streams and quite a few exotic flowers and plants in the forest.

"The one the Peddler gave husband is indeed a good place to live."

Li Li Banfeng nodded: "Let's have a cave chamber with wife here tonight."

Mentioning the cave chamber, the Wife was a bit expectant, but looking at Li Li Banfeng's condition, she estimated that the 'Joy Earth' had also worn off.

"Such a good place, shouldn't we find a house spirit?" The Wife changed the subject.

Li Li Banfeng thought about it: "Who is suitable to be the house spirit of Gourd Village?"

The Wife suddenly remembered one thing: "Husband, since we are in Gourd Village, do you want to go sit with A Yi?"

This was an urgent matter. The Wife was familiar with A Yi and knew her temperament. Entering A Yi's territory without saying hello would very likely lead to a grudge with A Yi.

Li Li Banfeng was also thinking about this problem.

Saying hello was easy, but how he got in was a difficult question to explain.

Li Li Banfeng had a jade plaque to enter Gourd Village, but A Yi was very cautious. Every time someone entered the village, someone would lead the way.

This time no one led the way, and Li Li Banfeng came in directly, so the matter couldn't be explained.

"Wife, let's not go see A Yi."

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan could also understand this difficulty, but how to solve the current problem: "Husband, if we don't go see A Yi, how do we leave Gourd Village?"

To leave Gourd Village, one must be sent out by someone from Gourd Village.

The situation was difficult. Li Li Banfeng took his wife and jumped back to the wooden house from the window: "How we came, we will go back."

The Wife looked at Li Li Banfeng with heartache: "Husband, do you still want to use the technique?"

"Wife, is there any more 'Joy Earth'?" Li Li Banfeng also felt that he was almost overdrawn.

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan punched Li Li Banfeng: "Can I still carry this thing on me?"

Li Li Banfeng sighed: "Without 'Joy Earth', I can only force it."

Sitting in the wooden house, Li Li Banfeng kept thinking about the appearance of the Jade Pavilion, but because he was too exhausted, every time he performed the 'Connecting the Cave Chamber' technique, Li Li Banfeng's impression of the Jade Pavilion became a bit blurry.

"Wife, remind me in my ear."

"What does husband want little slave to remind?"

"Remind me of the appearance of the Jade Pavilion."

"This—"

This made things difficult for the Wife.

The projector was recuperating at home and wasn't brought out.

If the phonograph body was here, it could play a movie, but Zhao Zhao Xiaowan was using a puppet body and could only imitate sounds.

The Wife's lips moved, and Li Li Banfeng first heard the sound of threading a needle.

Si, si~

Then he heard the sound of scissors.

Ka, ka~

Li Li Banfeng looked at Zhao Zhao Xiaowan: "Precious wife, you are too perfunctory."

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan looked helpless: "Husband, this can't blame little slave, Linger usually doesn't make any noise."

Jiang Linger was a quiet person, and the sounds the Wife could imitate were very limited.

Li Li Banfeng failed several times to perform the technique, and for a moment felt a headache.

Thinking about it, he still felt strange. He clearly wanted to return to the attic, so why did he come to this wooden building? Were these two very similar?

Looking around, there were indeed similarities. Both were wooden structures, both were buildings. Although this wooden building was a bit old, this building was on the cloud.

What was the similarity of being on the cloud? The Jade Pavilion was not on the cloud.

But when performing the technique, Li Li Banfeng arrived on the Shang Kingdom's cloud and entered the Personal Residence.

Environment!

The environment on the cloud was similar to the current environment.

The surrounding environment would have an impact on the 'Connecting the Cave Chamber' technique!

If he could create an environment similar to the Jade Pavilion here, the success rate of 'Connecting the Cave Chamber' would be greatly improved.

"Wife, imitate the sound of threading a needle again."

The Wife tried her best to restore the details of the sound, even imitating the little tricks Jiang Linger used when threading the needle.

After imitating for several minutes, the Wife felt the sounds were overlapping, as if someone was really threading a needle nearby.

Heard wrong?

With the means of 'Insight into Spiritual Sound', how could he hear wrong?

Following the sound, Jiang Linger was sitting nearby doing embroidery.

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan was startled: "Husband, did you swap Linger out from the attic?"

Li Li Banfeng didn't answer. The situation was very urgent, and the time for 'Walking Through a Qianshan' was limited.

"Wife, hold tight!" He held Zhao Zhao Xiaowan and jumped out of the window again. When landing, Zhao Zhao Xiaowan saw Jiang Linger again.

The 'Connecting the Cave Chamber' technique succeeded again. Li Li Banfeng returned from Gourd Village to the Jade Pavilion. This time he really came back.

Jiang Linger raised her head to look at Zhao Zhao Xiaowan, turned to Li Li Banfeng and said: "Being able to bring the house spirit along, it counts as having ability, but it's only eight points of ability."

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan jumped down from Li Li Banfeng's arms: "Linger, this is not eight points of ability. I'm not boasting for husband, this time it's definitely nine points."

Jiang Linger didn't believe it: "I heard the old lady say before, if you want to practice 'Connecting the Cave Chamber' to nine points, no matter how good the talent is,"

"You have to practice for about twenty years."

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan hugged Li Li Banfeng and gave him a fierce kiss on the face: "That's because the old lady's talent was poor. Don't mention her in the future. Husband is much stronger than her!"

"Wife still has a good eye!" Li Li Banfeng also gave Zhao Zhao Xiaowan a fierce kiss on the face.

Jiang Linger's left cheek twitched, and her right cheek was slightly distorted. She wanted to kiss them, but couldn't think of a reason.

Qiu Qiu Luoye drank two bowls of wine, her face flushed, and said: "Before catching Brother Wheel, I didn't hesitate. I had such a deep friendship with Brother Wheel, but for this matter of yours, we almost tore our faces apart. What do you say we should do about this?"

A Yi didn't speak, her face was full of worry, and she seemed to have something on her mind.

Qiu Qiu Luoye frowned: "Did you hear me? I put in so much effort and cost for you. Shouldn't you let me go home?"

A Yi said angrily: "Why should I let you go home? Did you catch the person?"

Qiu Qiu Luoye said: "If you can't catch the person, it's your lack of ability. Why blame it on me?"

A Yi raised her face and raised her eyebrows: "I just blame it on you. Are you not convinced?"

Qiu Qiu Luoye put down the wine bowl: "Are you not keeping your word? Do you think I'm easy to bully?"

A Yi said impatiently: "I'm not in the mood to argue with you about this. It seems someone has entered Gourd Village."

Qiu Qiu Daxiang was startled and asked: "Is someone hunting?"

Gourd Village would regularly take in a batch of people. Qiu Qiu Luoye also knew about this, and he called it hunting.

A Yi corrected: "That's not hunting, that's called saving people! Just now it shouldn't be saving people, and the person saved couldn't have walked out on their own."

Qiu Qiu Luoye was also a bit worried: "Could it be that Brother Wheel has come to the door?"

A Yi looked at Qiu Qiu Luoye: "Does he have this ability?"

"What do you think?" Qiu Qiu Luoye drank some wine, "If Brother Wheel's body was intact, there would be no place in this world he couldn't reach. You are aggressive, you must have angered Brother Wheel."

A Yi lowered her head, her face a bit aggrieved: "How am I aggressive? I have sincere feelings for him."

"Whether it's sincere or not, no one knows," Qiu Qiu Luoye sighed, "Brother Wheel's temperament, you should be clear. When he is good, he is really good; when he is ruthless, he doesn't recognize his own kin."

"Last time you chased to the Outer Continent, I felt something was wrong. After Brother Wheel returned from the Outer Continent, his temperament was very different, and he could use quite a few Craftsman Cultivator means. I am really afraid—"

Before he finished speaking, he saw A Yi lowering her head, wiping her tears, and sobbing.

Qiu Qiu Luoye was stunned: "Why are you crying?"

A Yi cried uncontrollably: "If I'm gone, you have to be a widow for me."

Qiu Qiu Luoye spat: "Don't say such unlucky words."

A Yi cried even more sadly: "I treat you with sincere feelings, you can't forget me!"

Seeing her cry like this, Qiu Qiu Luoye didn't feel good either: "Don't say this first, eat some food, drink a bowl of wine. I'm just guessing, it's not necessarily Brother Wheel. Don't cry first."

A Yi cried: "You are leaving, what should I do? The Eighteen Wheels will definitely not spare me!"

Qiu Qiu Luoye took a chicken leg and fed it to his mouth: "Don't cry first, I won't leave, okay?"

"Okay!" A Yi stopped crying, and with the wine, ate the chicken leg.

Qiu Qiu Luoye sat on the side, speechless for a long time.

Li Li Banfeng took paper and pen and recorded the essentials of 'Connecting the Cave Chamber' one by one.

Actually, there were not many essentials, just two.

First, the state of mind must be clear. To drill into the Jade Pavilion, the image of the Jade Pavilion must appear clearly in his intention.

Second, the technique must have power, and have the strength and confidence to have the mansion in hand and let me manipulate it.

These two essentials are easy to say, but if practiced step by step according to Jiang Linger's method, without twenty years, it really wouldn't be finished.

But Li Li Banfeng didn't practice this way.

To practice the state of mind, use 'Walking Through a Qianshan'. To go to which mansion, move that mansion over. The state of mind is absolutely clear, but the time is a bit short, the action must be fast.

To practice power, use 'Going One's Own Way', with full strength and quick action. The only problem is that 'Going One's Own Way' is sometimes difficult to trigger.

The Wife looked at Li Li Banfeng's notes and laughed: "Using Traveling Cultivator means to practice Residential Cultivator techniques, I'm afraid there is only husband in the world."

Li Li Banfeng practiced repeatedly several times, the technique was retracted and released freely, but Jiang Linger was also convinced.

"Linger, there is still the last point of the technique, teach it to me too," Li Li Banfeng laughed, "I won't treat you badly!"

Jiang Linger didn't agree, and Li Li Banfeng was unhappy.

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan persuaded: "We are all family, why are you hiding it?"

Jiang Linger shook her head: "I'm not hiding it. I don't know the last point of the technique. I only heard the old lady say before that the last point of the technique cannot be practiced at home, but must be practiced at someone else's house."

Li Li Banfeng was stunned: "Go to someone else's house, 'Connecting the Cave Chamber'?"

Jiang Linger nodded, but couldn't give more explanation.

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan seemed to realize: "If it can be used in someone else's house, this means is really powerful."

Li Li Banfeng was a bit worried: "I don't want to harm other Residential Cultivators because of practicing the technique."

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan also understood Li Li Banfeng's temperament: "In terms of proportion, husband naturally has to grasp it well."

The two discussed for several hours and selected two places.

One is to find Meng Meng Yuchun. Meng Meng Yuchun's cultivation is high, and cooperating with Li Li Banfeng's practice will have more significant results.

The second is to go to Iron Gate Fortress. There are many people in Iron Gate Fortress, and there are more choices for practice.

These two places were not easy to decide. Li Li Banfeng weighed again and again and decided to draw lots.

He turned off 'Insight into Spiritual Sound', 'Hundred Flavors Exquisite', and 'Golden Eyes Autumn Hair', let the Wife make two paper balls, and grabbed them with his eyes closed.

Touching one of them, Li Li Banfeng shivered several times.

Opening the paper ball, it said Iron Gate Fortress.

Xiang Xiang Hongying said from the side: "Seventh Brother, I see you shivering, is it a response from 'Seeking Good Fortune and Avoiding Evil'? You can't go to Iron Gate Fortress."

Li Li Banfeng looked at the paper ball in his hand, his brows locked: "I have to go, I am their Fortress Master."

PS: Iron Gate Fortress, there is only one Fortress Master! ===== CHAPTER 758 =====

The first is to go find Meng Meng Yuchun; Meng Meng Yuchun's cultivation is high, and coordinating with Li Li Banfeng's cultivation will have more significant results.

The second is to go to Iron Gate Fortress; there are many people at Iron Gate Fortress, and there are more choices for cultivation.

It's not easy to decide between these two places. Li Li Banfeng weighed it repeatedly and decided to draw lots.

He turned off the Insightful Dongxi Dongxi Lingyin, Hundred-Flavor Baiwei Linglong, and Golden-Eyed Autumn Hair, had his wife make two paper balls, and drew one with his eyes closed.

Touching one of the balls, Li Li Banfeng shivered repeatedly.

Opening the paper ball to look, it said "Iron Gate Fortress" on it.

Xiang Xiang Hongying said from the side: "Seventh Brother, I see you shivering; is it a premonition from Seeking Good and Avoiding Evil? You can't go to that place, Iron Gate Fortress."

Li Li Banfeng looked at the paper ball in his hand, his brows tightly locked: "I have to go; I am their Fortress Master."

PS: Iron Gate Fortress, there is only one Fortress Master!
