Chapter 795: Living and Working in Peace and Contentment

The price of the Profound Light Punishing Evil technique was a bit high. Li Li Banfeng didn't rush to test it. Xiang Xiang Hongying's suggestion was: "Seventh Brother, let's just learn up to here. Half is enough. Having a technique as support is enough to keep your cultivation base from collapsing, and it also avoids using the technique unknowingly and losing your cultivation base in a muddled way."

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan felt it was inappropriate: "If the technique isn't learned completely, the cultivation base won't be stable after all."

Li Li Banfeng also felt he should learn the technique completely: "Every technique on the cloud is very precious; how can I learn it half-baked?

Besides, the Leaving Suishenju key is where we settle down. If it really gets lost, I won't be at a loss if I risk my cultivation base to give that thief a hit."

He asked the Copper Lotus: "If I can emit Profound Light from my body, is the technique considered learned?"

The Copper Lotus said: "Just emitting it doesn't count. The key is to be able to catch up with the spiritual seal. As long as the Profound Light can catch up with the spiritual seal, you won't have to worry about this technique in the future. As long as the item is lost, whoever stole it, the Profound Light will chase and hit them."

Li Li Banfeng imagined the process of using the technique in his mind and nodded at Zhao Zhao Xiaowan: "I've learned it."

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan didn't know if Li Li Banfeng had really learned it, but this technique was indeed special, and she didn't want Li Li Banfeng to test it lightly.

Li Li Banfeng got off the bed and walked back and forth: "Next, it's time to do urgent business."

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan thought Li Li Banfeng was going to buy furniture. She looked at Meng De: "Husband, it's still early; the furniture shops aren't open yet."

Li Li Banfeng shook his head: "Put that matter aside for now. There is something more urgent; I should learn the residential cultivation level six technique."

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan was stunned: "Husband, you are too anxious!"

"Didn't my wife say that without technique support, the cultivation base won't be stable?" Li Li Banfeng squatted before the Copper Lotus. "Teach me the technique of Everything Goes as One Wishes as well."

"Husband, that technique can't be learned!" Zhao Zhao Xiaowan was anxious.

Even the Copper Lotus was worried for Li Li Banfeng: "Don't think this is fun. If both techniques are learned half-baked, and your cultivation base collapses in the future, you won't even have a place to cry."

"Who said half-baked? I've learned the Profound Light Punishing Evil technique quite purely. I'll leave a spiritual seal on you in a moment to see who dares to steal you away." Li Li Banfeng took a dagger and really prepared to prick his finger.

The Copper Lotus hurriedly stopped Li Li Banfeng with her lotus leaves: "Seventh Brother, why bother? Let's not leave a spiritual seal.

I can't go anywhere at home. I'll teach you the technique of Everything Goes as One Wishes right now.

To learn the technique of Everything Goes as One Wishes, three techniques must be practiced well: first is the residential cultivation pillar technique, Art of Self-Counting,

second is the land level seven technique, Living and Working in Peace and Contentment, and third is the land level four technique, Golden House Hiding Beauty. Once these three techniques are practiced to some extent, you can learn the technique of Everything Goes as One Wishes, and whatever you think of will come."

Li Li Banfeng thought for a moment: "Don't I need to practice the technique of Pillow High Without Worry? Before learning Everything Goes as One Wishes, shouldn't I first have the demeanor of a head of the household?"

The Copper Lotus sighed: "I also feel the demeanor of a head of the household is very important, but the technique of Everything Goes as One Wishes happens to have no connection with the technique of Pillow High Without Worry. I've told you everything I should; practice the technique yourself."

Li Li Banfeng said: "You haven't told me the essentials of the technique of Everything Goes as One Wishes."

The Copper Lotus said: "Didn't I say it? Whatever you think of, it comes."

Li Li Banfeng was stunned: "This is the essential?"

The Copper Lotus shook her lotus leaves: "This essential is easy to understand; even Xiang Xiang Hongying can understand it."

Xiang Xiang Hongying shouted angrily: "What? Looking down on me?"

Li Li Banfeng thought for a long time: "The Art of Self-Counting, I should be considered to have practiced it to some extent, right?"

"Yes!" The Copper Lotus gave affirmation. "Not to mention anything else, if it's for learning the technique of Everything Goes as One Wishes, you don't need to practice the Art of Self-Counting anymore."

Li Li Banfeng raised his head confidently: "What about Golden House Hiding Beauty?"

The Copper Lotus said: "What do you think? You were thinking of Meng Xiao Qian earlier and drew a Zuo Zuo Wugang with your hand. That painting hasn't been thrown away yet; why don't you go take a look?"

Li Li Banfeng wasn't so confident anymore: "How should I practice Living and Working in Peace and Contentment? Stay at home every day?"

The Copper Lotus sighed: "Don't ask me how to practice techniques you've already learned. Your Dao Sect is too special, and you still have traveling cultivation on you. Staying at home every day definitely won't work, and I don't know how to help you."

"Forget it if you won't help. I'm going to buy furniture!"

Li Li Banfeng got up and wanted to go out, but after thinking about it, he walked toward the third room.

If he pushed the door and went out now, he would still return to the Leaving Suishenju because the key was on his own body.

To go out, he had to use the Connected Cave Chamber. The third room had the most spirituality, and Li Li Banfeng used the technique most proficiently when he was in the third room.

After less than a minute, Li Li Banfeng opened the door and arrived at A-Yu's room.

A-Yu had just come out of the bathtub and hurriedly used her clothes to cover her body: "Brother, can we knock before entering the room?"

Li Li Banfeng said: "I used the Connected Cave Chamber to come in. I wouldn't even know if the technique worked if I didn't push the door open.

Sister, I want to ask you something. If I leave a spiritual seal on an object and have perception of it, as long as the object is lost, can I use the Profound Light Punishing Evil technique by concentrating my intent?"

A-Yu shook her head: "No need to concentrate intent; the technique will go out by itself."

Her statement was exactly the same as the Copper Lotus's.

Li Li Banfeng added: "If I don't want the Profound Light to go out, can I hold it back myself?"

A-Yu smiled: "Then I wouldn't know. Every time I've seen the Heavenly Maiden use Profound Light Punishing Evil in the many years I've been with her, the technique always went out on its own. I've never seen her take it back, and that bit of cultivation base doesn't count for much to her."

Seeing Li Li Banfeng was prepared, A-Yu didn't hide the fact that Profound Light Punishing Evil would cause a loss of cultivation base.

Li Li Banfeng smiled indifferently: "As expected of the Heavenly Maiden, she doesn't even care about her cultivation base. She really has great capital."

The old lady upstairs was very angry: "This cheap hoof, relying on her seniority, speaks so arrogantly,

not putting the head of the household in her eyes at all."

The little girl downstairs said: "Better to beat her up. I think she's just been beaten too little."

A-Yu glared at the downstairs but didn't respond.

Li Li Banfeng asked again: "Can a spiritual seal only be left on an object?"

A-Yu smiled: "Otherwise? You still want to leave it on a person? That thing is useless on people."

The woman next door sighed lightly: "Sister, we don't care how you lie to others, but when talking to our head of the household, you must put your conscience in the middle."

A-Yu looked at the wall and laughed: "If conscience isn't in the middle, where else could it be?"

Whoosh!

A gust of wind blew, and the clothes A-Yu used to cover herself were blown open.

A-Yu hurriedly covered herself: "What are you doing? Bullying a weak woman like me?"

Since the woman next door had reminded him, Li Li Banfeng naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity. He looked at the middle of the conscience,

and he saw a red mark the size of a peach pit.

A-Yu glared at Li Li Banfeng: "What are you looking at? It's not like you don't have a wife. Go home and look at her!"

Li Li Banfeng nodded slightly and got up: "I'm going home to look at my wife. Take care of yourself."

Leaving the residence and jumping off the cloud, Li Li Banfeng took out the key.

On the key was the spiritual seal he had left, left by dipping his fingertip in blood. It was large on top and small on the bottom, looking like a tadpole.

If you cover the tadpole's tail, does this thing look like a peach pit?

It's not too much like it either.

But this was the spiritual seal left by Li Li Banfeng; after all, his habits were different from the Heavenly Maiden's.

If the mark on A-Yu's body wasn't a birthmark or a scar, it was the Heavenly Maiden's spiritual seal. What was the Heavenly Maiden's purpose in leaving a spiritual seal on A-Yu?

If one day A-Yu was stolen, could the Heavenly Maiden chase the culprit?

There shouldn't be any thief in this world who could steal A-Yu. The Profound Light Punishing Evil technique doesn't seem that simple; this spiritual seal must have other uses.

Li Li Banfeng went to mess around with A-Yi for a while. A-Yi had found Qiu Qiu Luoye on the new land in Hulu Village and had been in a great mood these past two days.

The three of them ate together. Qiu Qiu Luoye occasionally gave Li Li Banfeng winks. Li Li Banfeng naturally understood Brother Qiu's intentions. During the casual chat, he drank a few more cups with A-Yi.

Seeing the wine jar was empty, Qiu Qiu Luoye got up and said: "I'll go get a jar of wine."

A-Yi said: "My heart, you don't need to do this little thing. I'll call them to send the wine over."

"What kind of lousy wine do they have? Can my brother drink that? You eat yours; I'll be back in a flash."

Qiu Qiu Luoye went to get the wine. Li Li Banfeng asked A-Yi: "Have you made any soil recently?"

"I do! At least once a month!" A-Yi took out a map. "Look, this is all the new land added to Hulu Village. It's almost double what it was when you first came."

A-Yi really put in the effort. Li Li Banfeng looked at the map carefully; the number of new lands in Hulu Village was indeed quite astonishing.

"Brother, let me tell you, we must accumulate territory now. If we wait until later, some people won't let me accumulate territory!"

Li Li Banfeng was furious upon hearing this: "Who won't let you accumulate it?"

A-Yi looked aggrieved: "The Peddler."

Li Li Banfeng nodded: "Then you must listen to him!"

A-Yi agreed: "If I don't listen, what can I do? We can't beat him either. The Peddler said that half of the soil made in the future must be sent to Like Puluozhou. Like Puluozhou already has so much new land, yet he still covets my little bit of soup and water."

Her bit was not just soup and water. To fight for these soils, the Peddler had also put in great effort, so it definitely couldn't all be cheap for Hulu Village.

A-Yi also revealed a secret to Li Li Banfeng: "Two days ago, the Peddler came to find me and asked me to bring that foreign man surnamed Cui back from Chaoge City. I went, but I didn't expect Chaoge to become like that."

"Like what?"

"Let me put it this way: walking three or five miles down a street, the living people you can see can be counted on one hand. That foreign devil is too ruthless!"

Li Li Banfeng knew very well that Cui Cui Tike had been waiting for this day, a stage where he could perform. How excited he must be.

"Did you take Cui Cui Tike back to Dao Gui Ridge?"

A-Yi shook her head: "He won't go back. I heard that Lan Qiao Yi has been to him several times, but he just won't leave. He said he's living quite well, and he even tattooed five characters on his chest: I Love Chaoge City."

Li Li Banfeng sighed: "I'll find a way to get him back another day. If Lan Qiao Yi really wants to turn against him, it will be too late for Cui Cui Tike to leave."

A-Yi said: "My father came to see me two days ago and specifically mentioned you. He wants you to go back to Fool City to take a look. The Peddler keeps his word; he really made up for the flesh and blood of Fool City."

Li Li Banfeng smiled: "This is a good thing. I definitely have to go back. I also have to take Tang Tang Changfa, Yan Yan Cuier, and Yan Hong'er back. They have made many contributions; such a big matter cannot leave them out."

"I also want to go back and take a look..." A-Yi's expression was somewhat complicated. This kind of expression was rare for her.

After drinking two more cups of wine, A-Yi suddenly smiled: "I was just saying it casually. What does it matter if I go back or not? Isn't Fool City still the same?"

The same?

Li Li Banfeng felt that Fool City would undergo great changes: "Everyone has real flesh and blood, so there is no difference from real living people. Fool City has tens of thousands of people. As long as they all become living people, Fool City should also become formal land."

A-Yi shook her head: "But it's not that simple. Old land wanting to become formal land isn't just about having enough ten thousand people.

These ten thousand people must truly live in Fool City, live well, have houses, have livelihoods, and have something to look forward to.

How does that saying go? This is called, called—"

Li Li Banfeng said: "It's called Living and Working in Peace and Contentment."

"Right, it's called Living and Working in Peace and Contentment. This phrase is especially good!" A-Yi looked at Li Li Banfeng with admiration. "Only after the tens of thousands of people in Fool City live and work in peace and contentment for several years will there be hope of turning back into formal land."

After eating and drinking his fill, Li Li Banfeng prepared to go to Ye Ye Songqiao. He wanted to buy furniture, and Ye Ye Songqiao's wood was the best.

A-Yi ordered A-Yun to send Li Li Banfeng to Ye Ye Songqiao and then greeted A-Long: "Hurry and bring my wife back; let her say goodbye to her brother."

Li Li Banfeng looked downstairs and saw a group of people carrying a large net. Qiu Qiu Luoye was inside the net, and they carried him into the village head's small building.

Originally wanting to take the opportunity of getting wine to escape Hulu Village, Qiu Qiu Luoye had failed.

A-Yi said excitedly: "And that dowry, bring it together!"

Another group of people carried a net and carried the Bai He Bai Bai Wusong into the building as well.

"And that maid! Bring her in too!"

Two people carried a net and brought Bai Bai Wusong's disciple Bai Xinsheng in.

Bai Bai Wusong and Bai Xinsheng had come to save Qiu Qiu Luoye. They had sneaked into Hulu Village two days ago and had agreed to take Qiu Qiu Luoye out today, but they didn't expect that the three of them would encounter the trap A-Yi had set up in advance near the exit.

A-Yi looked at Bai Bai Wusong: "How did you get into the village?"

Bai Bai Wusong turned his head and didn't speak.

Getting into Hulu Village was indeed not easy, but Bai Bai Wusong had also been someone who had crashed into the boundary line back in the day. As long as he saw the tracks, he could find the way.

Seeing him not speak, A-Yi didn't force him: "Repent well here. No untying until tonight!"

After A-Yi left, Bai Bai Wusong looked at Qiu Qiu Luoye: "Master Qiu, don't worry, I will definitely save you."

Qiu Qiu Luoye looked miserable: "Master Bai, has the face of the Bai He Sect been completely lost by us?"

Bai Bai Wusong was speechless.

Bai Bai Wusong's Bai Xinsheng shook his head: "Master Qiu, that's not how you put it. The other sects in the Three-Headed Fork already know about this.

They said it's not just the face of the Bai He Sect that we've lost, the face of the entire martial cultivation has been lost by us!"

Qiu Qiu Luoye took a deep breath: "After we get out, I will go to our sect's forbidden area and make an end to it myself."

Bai Bai Wusong said: "Master Qiu, how can you be so short-sighted? Let's cultivate in the forbidden area for a few more days. Next time we fight, we will definitely not be afraid of this woman."

Li Li Banfeng arrived at Ye Ye Songqiao and was looking for a furniture store on the street. In fact, he also had quite a few businesses in Ye Ye Songqiao, but when it came to making furniture, the shops in Xiao Yeci's hands were the best.

Entering the Ciyun Furniture Store, Li Li Banfeng took a fancy to a desk and was about to ask someone for the price when he heard a familiar voice at the entrance.

"Why are you being so polite with me? I'll just send it to your house!"

"That won't do. This is business. If you don't accept the money, I won't take this thing."

Li Li Banfeng turned his head and saw that he recognized both of them: one was Xiao Yeci, and the other was Chu Chu Huaiyuan.

This shop was Xiao Yeci's, so her being here wasn't strange, but what was Chu Er doing here?

When the two passed by Li Li Banfeng, they didn't notice him at all.

Chu Er took a fancy to a cabinet and also a sofa: "Look at this workmanship. In the entire Like Puluozhou,

your family is considered unique!"

Xiao Yeci was a bit embarrassed: "Second Miss is overpraising. I only know this bit of business; I really can't do anything else well! I'll have someone send the furniture to you in a moment."

Chu Er took a fancy to a screen: "No rush, I'll pick two more pieces."

Li Li Banfeng said: "There are so many furniture stores in Green Water City, why do you have to come here to buy it!"

Chu Er said: "You've already come to Ye Ye Songqiao, yet you don't know the reputation of Ciyun Furniture?"

Li Li Banfeng said: "Even if the reputation is great, you don't need to come personally to buy a piece of furniture!"

Xiao Yeci was startled. She knew Chu Er's temper; this sentence might provoke her.

As expected, Chu Er turned her face, lowered her head, and rolled her eyes: "Old lady loves to go wherever she wants, is it your turn to—Seventh Brother, why are you here too?"

Li Li Banfeng said: "Make it clear, can I really manage you or not?"

Chu Er nodded repeatedly: "Seventh Brother can manage, you can manage however you want."

"Why are you two in Ye Ye Songqiao?"

The two looked at each other.

Li Li Banfeng lifted his hat brim and looked at them.

Xiao Yeci couldn't hold on: "Benefactor, let's go to the back hall and talk."

Arriving at the back hall, Xiao Yeci and Chu Er told Li Li Banfeng the origin of the matter.

The Hundred Flower Garden had a Hundred Flower Rain. Zhang Zhang Xiuling concluded that the Hundred Flower God was about to descend into the world. She found Ma Wu and wanted to snatch the Hundred Flower Sect back from He He Jiaqing, and Ma Wu agreed.

Chu Chu Huaiyuan said: "If Ma Ma Junyang and He He Jiaqing settle scores, I will take the Chu family and fight He He Jiaqing to the death. Just for the sake of Seventh Brother's friendship, I have to stand on Ma Ma Junyang's side.

But Ma Ma Junyang is standing up for Zhang Zhang Xiuling, so I can't intervene. I only have a casual acquaintance with Zhang Zhang Xiuling; if I fight to the death for this matter, I won't be able to explain it to the Chu family."

Xiao Yeci said: "There was a rumor before that He He Jiaqing broke the Fifth Young Master's leg tendons, but when I went to visit the Fifth Young Master, I found his legs were fine, so I didn't dare to ask more about this matter."

Li Li Banfeng asked: "What about Lu Lu Chunying? Did she also come to Ye Ye Songqiao to hide?"

Xiao Yeci shook her head: "She can't hide. Duan Duan Shaoxia and Zhang Zhang Xiuling have a deep friendship. She wants to help Zhang Zhang Xiuling, and she is the First Mistress of the Lu family! If Lu Chunying leaves at this time, wouldn't that be equivalent to tearing down Duan Duan Shaoxia's stage?"

Chu Er said: "If it were someone else, it would be fine, but the key is that Sister Xiu is involved here. If it really comes to a bloody battle, Sister Xiu will definitely help He He Jiaqing; he is her own nephew.

We were fighting in the Inner Continent together before, but now we have all turned against each other. When Xiao Girl and I saw that neither side was right, we hid in Ye Ye Songqiao."

Xiao Yeci said: "Benefactor, we know we shouldn't have hidden. We will take the train back to Green Water City tonight."

Chu Er nodded: "Since Seventh Brother has stepped forward, there is nothing more to say. No matter what the reason is, we will go back and gather our men and fight He He Jiaqing to the end."

Chu Chu Huaiyuan really didn't hesitate. Back then, to save Li Qi, she even fought the General Office of the Government Office, and the General Office Chief Xia Xia Shumin died at her hands.

But Li Li Banfeng wouldn't let her fight: "You cannot go back to Green Water City. Just hide here honestly. Call Lu Lu Chunying back for me too. If you can't hide in Ye Ye Songqiao, go hide in Seven Autumn City."

Li Li Banfeng's attitude surprised Xiao Yeci, but Chu Chu Huaiyuan had been climbing and crawling in the Chu family for so long that she could understand Li Li Banfeng's intention: "Seventh Brother, you don't want to make a big deal out of this?"

"The matter is going to be big. The Hundred Flower God has come out, so this face must be given! Don't you think so?" Li Li Banfeng touched his Judge's Pen.

The Judge's Pen didn't speak. Xiao Yeci and Chu Chu Huaiyuan nodded together: "Yes, yes, we listen to Seventh Brother."

They told Li Li Banfeng about Ma Ma Junyang's recent actions. Li Li Banfeng understood as soon as he heard it: smashing the venue,

snatching business, forcing the other side to turn against them—this is the fighting style of the older generation in Like Puluozhou.

Li Li Banfeng asked Xiao Yeci to customize a set of furniture for the train and send it to his residence. Xiao Yeci refused to accept the money,

so Li Li Banfeng left the check directly.

Leaving the furniture store, Li Li Banfeng immediately rushed to Green Water City. On the way, Li Li Banfeng asked the Judge's Pen: "What is going on with that Hundred Flower God?"

The Judge's Pen said: "That's not me."

"I know it's not you. Who do you guess it could be?"

"I can't guess. Don't always—" The Judge's Pen was silent for a long time and said a long sentence: "Don't let them fight; someone is deliberately making trouble."

Li Li Banfeng said: "They must fight. If they don't fight, this Hundred Flower God won't come out!"

Returning to Outside Xiaoyao Wu, Li Li Banfeng found Ma Wu.

Seeing Li Qi, Ma Wu's tears almost fell. He sent Feng Daiku, Huo Ling, A-Qin, and others away, just wanting to say a few words to Li Qi.

"I was really worried that He He Jiaqing would harm you. If you had any mishaps, even if I had to be smashed to pieces, I would have to kill He He Jiaqing!"

Li Li Banfeng looked at Ma Wu's legs carefully: "I see you still don't walk very smoothly."

Ma Wu sighed: "My leg tendons were pulled out by He He Jiaqing. He didn't pull the main tendons, only the tendon threads inside. Only He He Jiaqing has such ability.

Later, Mu Yuejuan sent the leg tendons back to me, and Miss Feng helped me reconnect them. Otherwise, I wouldn't even think about walking in this lifetime."

Ma Wu also talked about the incident where someone caused trouble in Outside Xiaoyao Wu: "Old Nine was poisoned because of this. Thanks to him being tough, he survived."

"Was this also done by He He Jiaqing? Why is he provoking like this?" Li Li Banfeng was a bit confused.

Ma Wu had also been thinking about the reason during this time: "I initially thought he was taking revenge for past matters, so I was worried he would harm you.

Later, I pondered that he might want to use the leg tendons to threaten me. After all, we have the railway in our hands, and He He Jiaqing would definitely covet it.

Later, when something happened in the Hundred Flower Garden, I felt he might be beating us for Zhang Zhang Xiuling's matter. I estimate that this Hundred Flower Rain was a play Zhang Zhang Xiuling did herself; she had long planned to take back the Hundred Flower Sect."

Li Li Banfeng felt all three speculations were a bit off.

"Think about the reason later. First, think about what he is going to do next."

Ma Wu had already thought it through: "I estimate he will come to Outside Xiaoyao Wu to find me soon. I have set up enough ambushes in Outside Xiaoyao Wu waiting for him to come."

Li Li Banfeng shook his head: "It might not be in Outside Xiaoyao Wu. He He Jiaqing does things with profit as the priority. In his eyes,

the most valuable thing in your hands is not in Outside Xiaoyao Wu."

Ma Wu pondered for a moment and was suddenly shocked: "Could it be that he wants to move against my territory?"

Li Li Banfeng said: "More than ninety percent of the territory has been reclaimed; who do you think doesn't want it?"

Ma Wu was a bit panicked: "I'll hurry and take men to—"

"Don't be in a hurry to take men," Li Li Banfeng moved his wrists. "I haven't reclaimed land for a long time; it's just right to go to your territory and take a look."

PS: Li Banfeng and Qing are about to meet. ===== CHAPTER 796 =====
