Chapter 856: Good stuff!

Craft Cultivation ancestor Duan Duan Tielu didn't realize one thing until he was hit by the technique of "No One in Sight."

The key Li Li Banfeng threw to him was a fake key, changed by the technique of "Everything Goes as One Wishes."

The fire tongs he took back were the real key, also changed by the technique of "Everything Goes as One Wishes."

Where did the real fire tongs go?

The real fire tongs were still fighting with Li Li Banfeng.

These fire tongs were truly extraordinary. Li Li Banfeng rushed out of the water and fire trap, and it was still using mental techniques to attack Li Li Banfeng. It was as if thousands of mosquitoes were buzzing in Li Li Banfeng's ears.

Fortunately, there was only one fire tong. If there were many mental techniques, it would really be hard to deal with.

Li Li Banfeng looked at the fire tongs: "Don't use this technique anymore. I can't hear it."

This sentence contained a Foolish Cultivation technique. If it were against a Mental Cultivator, it would definitely be useful, but these fire tongs didn't eat this method and still stubbornly used the technique.

Li Li Banfeng had a certain resistance to Mental Cultivation techniques and originally didn't need to entangle with the fire tongs on this technique.

But right now, Li Li Banfeng was really entangled, not because of the mental technique, but because of the special nature of these fire tongs.

Li Li Banfeng had fought with first-class blades before, but he had never seen any first-class blade carry so many sects, nor had he seen any first-class blade have such strong defensive power, actually being able to prevent Foolish Cultivation.

Moreover, this blade was extremely loyal. Li Li Banfeng tried several times to use "Family Treasures Count Themselves" to communicate with it, but these fire tongs never gave a response. Li Li Banfeng wanted to see the limit of this blade. If this blade was really crafted by Duan Duan Tielu, then Duan Duan Tielu was truly a person who could reverse the situation between Puluo Continent and the Inner Continent.

"Still using mental techniques? I already told you, I can't hear your technique!" Li Li Banfeng repeated the same sentence to the fire tongs over and over again. After repeating it twelve times, Li Li Banfeng really couldn't hear it anymore.

Li Li Banfeng was very proud. The power of the Foolish Cultivation technique was still there!

Without the interference of the mental technique, Li Li Banfeng's agility recovered to its usual state. Plus, after many rounds of fighting, Li Li Banfeng had mastered some of the fire tongs' attack patterns. He found a close-combat opportunity, arrived near the fire tongs, and used "Connecting Wide Bridal Chamber" to send the fire tongs directly into the "Personal Residence."

Entering the "Personal Residence," the family members definitely had a way to deal with these tongs. Li Li Banfeng estimated there would be a fierce battle, but unexpectedly, the old man said in his ear: "A'Qi, these tongs didn't move after entering the house."

What's the reason for this?

Are these tongs not actively fighting? Could it be that they were remote-controlled by Duan Duan Tielu?

But if they were really remote-controlled, then why did Li Li Banfeng's Foolish Cultivation technique still work on the fire tongs just now?

Wait, did the technique work just now?

Did it work on the fire tongs, on Li Li Banfeng himself, or on Duan Duan Tielu?

Duan Duan Tielu's cultivation was dissipating rapidly, and he was already old and decrepit.

The "Personal Residence" said: "A'Qi, spare his life. This person knows too many craft methods and will definitely be of great use."

The voice of the Fifth Young Lady also reached Li Li Banfeng's ears through the "Personal Residence": "His cultivation still has quite a bit left. Don't let it all dissipate. Keep some; it will be of great use."

Li Li Banfeng took back the key from Duan Duan Tielu. The light on Duan Duan Tielu's body dimmed, and he was still struggling to crawl forward.

Such a powerful Craft Cultivator, Li Li Banfeng really didn't want to kill Duan Duan Tielu, but the Fifth Young Lady was drooling: "Seventh Director, Seventh Teacher, just bring him back. Put your heart in your stomach, and I'll put him in my stomach. I guarantee there won't be any trouble!"

Li Li Banfeng smiled: "Such good ingredients, can't just let you eat them for nothing, right?"

Lai Lai Wuju thought for a while: "How about this, I promise you three things. We'll sign a contract on the spot. These three things can't be too excessive and must be within my capability."

"You keep him watched first. We'll discuss the price slowly." Li Li Banfeng sent Duan Duan Tielu back to the "Personal Residence." To tell the truth, he also couldn't bear to kill Duan Duan Tielu.

He looked at the hall and shouted: "Come out."

He He Haiqin walked out of a dormitory and asked cautiously: "Li Banfeng, where did Duan Duan Tielu go?"

Li Li Banfeng laughed: "Where did he go? Don't you know?"

"I don't know, I don't know anything. I didn't see anything, didn't hear anything. I just helped you take some things, and then I hid out. I really don't know anything—" He He Haiqin wished he could go crazy or stupid on the spot. He really wished he could forget everything that happened here.

Li Li Banfeng laughed: "You made quite a profit on this trip, didn't you?"

He He Haiqin shook his head repeatedly: "Without your instructions, I didn't dare to take anything!"

Li Li Banfeng looked around: "Some magic treasures want to follow me. You can't touch such magic treasures. You can take the rest. Weigh how much you take yourself, and get out of here immediately after taking them."

He He Haiqin nodded, took six magic treasures in total. Given his contribution, he felt this number was quite reasonable.

He didn't dare to pick or choose, only knowing that these magic treasures didn't say they wanted to follow Li Qi, so he took the magic treasures and left immediately.

Li Li Banfeng walked near the Little Totem, thinking about how to deal with this thing.

Taking it home now is definitely not an option; the people at home simply cannot withstand the damage from the small totem.

Leaving it alone wouldn't work either. If the Little Totem fell into someone else's hands, no one could say what kind of disaster it would cause.

Li Li Banfeng took out a bottle of "No Delusion," opened the cap, sprinkled a few drops of medicinal water, and sprinkled it on the center of the Little Totem.

The black shadow in the center of the totem immediately faded. After twenty minutes, the black shadow disappeared completely.

The lethality of "No Delusion Ash" toward Void Silkworms was truly astonishing.

A'Yi once told Li Li Banfeng that the black shadow in the center of the Big Totem was a Void Silkworm, and these black shadows determined the functions of the Big Totem.

Now that the black shadow was gone, could the Little Totem be sent home?

The "Personal Residence" was very confident: "A'Qi, you send it back first. I'll find a room to put it in, and then find a few passengers to test it."

"Old Man, we are doing legitimate business. If you let passengers test this, will it cause misunderstanding?"

The old man sneered: "Let them do something; what misunderstanding can it cause? Zhao Zhao Xiao Wan also counts as a passenger in our family, and she was turned into a daughter-in-law by you. Doesn't she have to grit her teeth and endure it!"

"What do you mean endure? We are mutually willing!"

After dealing with the Little Totem, he walked back and forth in Duan Duan Tielu's home twice. This house was really not small. Including the basement, there were eight floors in total.

According to A'Yu's observation, there were secret rooms on every floor, and the number of secret rooms was more than the rooms on the surface. Such a good residence, Li Li Banfeng felt he had to make good use of it.

It wasn't just that the residence was good. The glove felt around in the house. There were more than a thousand magic treasures here, and every casual grab was a treasure: "Boss, we've made a fortune, a huge fortune. In the future, you don't need to go to the roadside to sell like the Peddler. We have plenty of capital here!"

Walking all the way to the basement, the glove was even more excited. This place had the most treasures. He discovered a treasure vault and was about to open the door when he heard the "Personal Residence" laugh loudly: "Hahaha!"

The glove was startled: "What are you doing? Are you possessed?"

"A'Tao, feel downward. The good stuff is all down there."

"Under whom?" A'Tao was a bit resistant; he was an upright person.

The old man was very excited: "Under the floor! A bunch of good stuff."

The glove thought about the structure of the house. The basement was the lowest floor. Under the floor wasn't it the foundation? What good stuff could be there?

"Old Man, if you want to study craft methods, you'd better go yourself. I don't like that."

"It's not craft methods, it's ready-made treasures. Go take a look quickly."

The glove felt carefully on the floor, soon found the gap in the secret passage, entered the secret passage, and poked his head out not long after: "I thought it was what good stuff, it turned out to be the treasures the old man wanted!"

"Bring it here quickly, bring it here quickly!" The "Personal Residence" said impatiently, "If you leave it for a while longer, it will get cold."

"This thing wasn't hot to begin with!" The glove dragged a rail from under the floor, a real "Gong" shaped rail.

The rail was only a meter long, polished bright, without a trace of rust. The cross-section looked very flat. It was indeed a complete rail.

But this rail was also too short.

Of course, the length was only under Li Li Banfeng's cognition. The rails found before were all shorter than this.

Seeing the rail, Li Li Banfeng could clearly feel the trembling of the "Personal Residence": "Good stuff..."

The glove reminded: "Old Man, can you hold on? There's more below! If I take out another one, don't you get choked up!"

"Nonsense! My body is sturdy. You can take out as many as you want, I'll be fine."

"You said it!" The glove dragged another one up not long after.

"Good, good!" The "Personal Residence" was very excited. With these two rails, his total number of rails had reached ten.

After a while, the glove dragged another one up. The "Personal Residence" didn't speak. At his peak, he had a total of twelve rails, and now he already had eleven.

Li Li Banfeng felt the situation was wrong and reminded the glove: "Brother, take it slow."

This was said too late.

The glove had already dragged the twelfth rail up.

Li Li Banfeng felt a tremor behind him in the "Personal Residence," and then there was no sound.

"Old Man!" The glove was also scared silly, "Didn't you say you could do it? What's wrong with you? Answer me!"

Li Li Banfeng and the glove shouted for a long time, and the "Personal Residence" finally responded.

Whoosh~

First was the spraying of steam.

Woo-hoo, another long whistle.

The "Personal Residence" took a breath and let out bursts of crying: "Twelve rails, twelve rails! These rails are finally all found!"

Duan Duan Tielu had a total of four rails in his hand. No wonder this house could run from the Inner Continent to the Curse Insect Ruins.

This house had more than a thousand magic treasures, and apart from the magic treasures, this house itself was a treasure.

"A'Qi, this pipe layout is exquisite, and the boiler design is particular. I've lived for so many years, but I've never seen such exquisite craft methods. We must keep this house no matter what."

"How to keep it?" Li Li Banfeng narrowed his eyes. He also liked this house, but this house had no spirituality at all.

A house without spirituality is very difficult to recognize a master. If he wants to cultivate spirituality, Li Li Banfeng must stay in this house for a period of time.

But Li Li Banfeng doesn't have time to cultivate spirituality here now, and he doesn't want to specifically find someone to watch this house. Whether they can watch it is one thing, but if someone uses this house to make trouble, with a little means, they could make a big one!

How to deal with this?

Destroy this house?

The "Personal Residence" spoke: "I'll drag it away."

Li Li Banfeng said in a daze: "So big, can you drag it?"

The glove laughed: "As long as it's something our old man likes, even if it's a mountain, he can drag it."

The old man was in a good mood and didn't want to argue with A'Tao today: "A'Qi, I'll deal with this house. You go home first. If there's anything,

go ask Duan Duan Tielu quickly. If you come back late, I'm afraid it will be eaten up."

Li Li Banfeng returned to the "Personal Residence." Duan Duan Tielu had already been eaten by the Fifth Young Lady for several pieces.

Li Li Banfeng said angrily: "The business hasn't been discussed yet, and you've already used your chopsticks? Are there no rules at all!"

The Fifth Young Lady wiped her mouth and said: "Marry a man, marry a man, wear clothes and eat food. Where are there so many rules?"

Is this something a pure female student should say?

If the wife were at home, she would definitely have to spank her!

But it seems the wife has said this before.

Yuan Yuan Miaoping was unhappy: "What marry a man? Have you married? Does our boss like you?"

Xiang Xiang Hongying said angrily: "He doesn't like her, and he doesn't like you, a slut! Seventh Young Master, you can't mess around with these sluts at home. When Zhao Xiao Wan comes back, I'll see how you explain it to her!"

Duan Duan Tielu lost a lot of cultivation and a lot of flesh and blood, and was about to die. Li Li Banfeng took out the Peddler's snow cream and applied some to him.

Don't say, this wound medicine is truly effective. Not long after, the flesh and blood Duan Duan Tielu lost grew back.

Xiang Xiang Hongying was surprised: "This thing is too easy to use."

The Fifth Young Lady licked her lips and said with a face: "Seventh Teacher, next time I'll eat two pieces less. You apply some snow cream to him and let him grow his meat back, so I can keep eating!"

Li Li Banfeng looked at Duan Duan Tielu.

Duan Duan Tielu shed tears.

"I am an ancestor of a sect. Give me a quick one."

Li Li Banfeng glared at the Fifth Young Lady: "You, this person, are too much!"

The Fifth Young Lady was scolded by Seventh Teacher and lowered her head, not daring to speak.

Li Li Banfeng comforted Duan Duan Tielu: "Stove, she won't be like this in the future. I have a few things to ask you. You must tell me the truth."

"Ask."

"You came to the Curse Insect Ruins, what exactly do you want to do?"

Duan Duan Tielu was disheartened. He didn't hide anything and said it truthfully: "I came here to study the Big Totem properly. The stone materials for the Big Totem are very difficult to find, but the stone materials on this mountain are very similar to the Big Totem.

The Curse Insect Ruins also have Void Silkworms. After building the Big Totem, it's just right to make a supplement."

Li Li Banfeng nodded slightly. Duan Duan Tielu's craftsmanship was indeed impeccable.

"You didn't help Prince Prince Anshun make the Imperial Seal, just to run here to focus on building the Big Totem?"

Duan Duan Tielu didn't deny it: "Making the Imperial Seal requires a lot of time and energy. Besides, what if it's made? Do I really expect the Inner Continent to crown me king?

The example of Shu Wanjuan is right in front of me. If you are not of the royal blood of the Inner Continent, it's useless to make more contributions. Let alone being king or hegemon,

even your own life may not be guaranteed.

Up to now, I don't want to hide it from you. As long as I can make the Big Totem, from now on, I don't have to look at anyone's face to live.

I am a craftsman. I just thought that if I learned my craft well, I could eat by my own ability and carve out a world by my own ability.

Who would have thought that my craftsmanship was too good, but it became a rope to take my life, hanging around my neck, unable to shake it off.

I work for Puluo Continent, and the Inner Continent wants me to die. I work for the Inner Continent, and Puluo Continent also wants me to die.

For so many years, only the Peddler's mind was relatively broad. He spared my life, but he didn't kill me, and I indeed became a disaster. After repairing the Big Totem and remaking an Imperial Seal, Puluo Continent suffered.

But can this be blamed on me? Is there anything wrong with a craftsman taking money to do things?

Li Qi, pat your conscience and say, where did I go wrong? Pat your conscience and say, my craftsmanship is good, what's wrong with that!"

Li Li Banfeng shook his head: "I didn't say you were wrong before."

Duan Duan Tielu shed old tears: "Then why do you want to kill me?"

Li Li Banfeng explained: "Meeting you on the battlefield, I won't show mercy. You know the rules."

"I never go to the battlefield."

"Even if you don't go to the battlefield, you've fought a war. When fighting a war, you can't just kill the enemy's fierce generals; you also have to kill the enemy's think tank. This principle is always correct, right?"

Duan Duan Tielu thought for a while, but still didn't admit it: "I'm no longer in the Inner Continent now. Why did you still come to kill me?"

Li Li Banfeng sat beside Duan Duan Tielu and said calmly: "You are no longer in the Inner Continent, so I came to talk business with you. Who would have thought you would turn around and harm me?"

Duan Duan Tielu lowered his head and didn't speak. He was a bit confused now.

He didn't think he was wrong. He felt that striking first was definitely the best choice.

But if he made a different choice, would the result be different?

Li Li Banfeng pointed to the fire tongs on the ground: "This thing, it shouldn't be a first-class blade, right?"

Duan Duan Tielu looked at the fire tongs and then at the Little Totem that had lost its shadow: "These two are actually one thing."

"How do you say that?"

Duan Duan Tielu said: "When I was repairing the Big Totem, I discovered one thing. The Big Totem sometimes shows strange behavior.

I can judge spirituality through behavior. I discovered that the Big Totem has the willingness to fight, but no means to fight.

At that time, I had an idea: can I make a kind of blade that the Big Totem can use, letting the Big Totem fight?

This was just an idea and hadn't been realized yet, but Lan Qiao Yi couldn't wait to send troops.

At that time, my situation was very dangerous. The Big Totem and the Imperial Seal were both done. Lan Qiao Yi might kill me to silence me at any time. For me, the best ending was probably to have my memory wiped by the Big Totem.

Taking advantage of Lan Qiao Yi going out to fight, I struck first, found a path myself, and left the Inner Continent.

Arriving at the Curse Insect Ruins, I made the Little Totem and researched this fire tong based on the Little Totem. It is the blade of the Little Totem.

The fire tongs can display so many techniques, not because it has so many sects, but because the one who truly understands these techniques is the Little Totem. If these fire tongs are too far from the Little Totem, they really become ordinary tongs."

Li Li Banfeng picked up the fire tongs and looked at them for a long time: "You made so many good things, just to save your life?"

Duan Duan Tielu's eyes were a bit blurry, seemingly longing for some things: "Speaking of dreams, who hasn't had one? With the Big Totem, the Peddler is gone. Can't I also be a boss in Puluo Continent?

I often have this dream too. Being a Craft Cultivator is very bitter. If I didn't have a good dream to think about, how could I hold on?

But I know I'm not that kind of material. I just think about it—"

Li Li Banfeng put the fire tongs aside and casually took the "Fixed Plate Map": "Where is it?"

"There are two roads to Zhen'e. One road is easy to find. This road is at Saint Sage Peak. Lan Qiao Yi led troops from Zhen'e and went directly to Saint Sage Peak."

Li Li Banfeng had also thought about this road. This road was indeed easy to find, but it was not easy to walk.

The Inner Continent has plenty of smart people. After Lan Qiao Yi was defeated, this road must be heavily guarded. Li Li Banfeng wouldn't be able to reach Zhen'e before losing his life.

"What about the other road?"

"The other road was opened by me. It's not easy to find. I'll draw it for you."

Duan Duan Tielu drew the road on the "Fixed Plate Map." This road was real; Duan Duan Tielu didn't play any tricks: "Seventh Master, I've told you everything I know. Spare my life.

I'm afraid of death. I'm really afraid. As long as you can spare my life, I'll do anything."

Li Li Banfeng looked at the route on the "Fixed Plate Map" and didn't speak. The "Personal Residence" said in his ear: "A'Qi, this matter must be decided by you, but I'll just say one thing: Duan Duan Tielu knows many craft methods. If he dies, these craft methods will be gone!"

"Find a place to lock him up first." Li Li Banfeng temporarily spared Duan Duan Tielu.

The "Personal Residence" was very happy, tidied up a room, and locked Duan Duan Tielu up.

The Fifth Young Lady also instructed: "Get him something to eat. Don't starve him to death. If you let him out tomorrow, he can still sit at the table!"

"Be more reserved!" Li Li Banfeng scolded the Fifth Young Lady: "Look at you, where is there any appearance of a student now?"

The Fifth Young Lady lowered her head: "Seventh Teacher, are you going to punish me? Don't hit too hard, okay? I'm afraid of pain."

"Don't change the subject!" Li Li Banfeng slapped the contract on the Fifth Young Lady's face: "Business matters haven't been discussed yet. You do the first thing for me: make a body for everyone in this room who doesn't have one."

The Fifth Young Lady raised her head: "This is easy. Tell me when to deliver the goods!"

"It doesn't matter if it's fast or slow, but there are two conditions. First, you can't play tricks in the body."

"Don't worry about that. We are all family; I won't play this kind of scheme."

"Second, the body made must be able to nourish the soul. The body made for the wife before was very good. I hope the bodies made for others won't be bad either."

The Fifth Young Lady stuck out her tongue and pouted: "Seventh Teacher, this is difficult. General Zhao's soul is well-nourished, not just because she has a body. She relies on her own means of devouring souls to nourish it. Others don't have that ability."

The Heavenly Maiden hummed: "Whether you have the ability or not, don't you know yourself? At the beginning, the rules set by the Peddler didn't allow you to eat other people's souls. That's why there was the saying that Red Lotus doesn't eat raw ones. But now, how many souls have you secretly eaten? Do you think I can't see it?"

"Teacher! I really didn't—" The Fifth Young Lady hid behind Li Li Banfeng, looking very scared.

Xiang Xiang Hongying gritted her teeth: "There are more and more sluts that should be killed!"

Li Li Banfeng slapped the contract on the Fifth Young Lady's face: "Make the body, teach everyone how to nourish the soul. The last two things, we'll talk about later."

Out of the "Personal Residence," the glove said to Li Li Banfeng: "Boss, I don't need a body. I feel like having a body is a burden."

"If you don't want to use it, just leave it there. Take it out when you want to use it. Having it is better than not having it." Li Li Banfeng patted the glove, went down the mountain, and walked toward the village.

Yang Xiao Qian Xiangjun was still waiting in the village. Seeing Li Qi return, she shed tears of joy.

"Seventh Master, you scared me to death! I thought you wouldn't—" Yang Xiao Qian Xiangjun didn't dare to continue. She felt it was unlucky.

Li Li Banfeng laughed: "What are you afraid of? If I couldn't come back, you wouldn't have to guard this place anymore."

"Seventh Master, what are you saying!" Yang Xiao Qian Xiangjun was angry, "If you don't come back, I'll wait for you here for a lifetime!"

Li Li Banfeng shook his head repeatedly: "A lifetime is too long. Don't say this kind of thing randomly."

Yang Xiao Qian Xiangjun smiled playfully: "Then how long do you want me to wait?"

How long to wait?

This matter is really hard to think about. Li Li Banfeng couldn't let Yang Xiao Qian Xiangjun guard the Curse Insect Ruins for a lifetime, but the Curse Insect Ruins had Void Silkworms and materials for making the Big Totem. Someone must guard this place.

Yang Xiao Qian Xiangjun could also see some clues. She was really worried about Li Li Banfeng, but she was really bargaining now.

Li Li Banfeng knew this very well. Regarding Yang Xiao Qian Xiangjun, one couldn't look at it in a black-and-white way.

"You guard it for me for a year, and I will pay you a reward."

Yang Xiao Qian Xiangjun curled her lips: "Tell me first what the reward is? I'm not short of money!"

Apart from money, Li Li Banfeng didn't know what to give her: "Then you name a price?"

Yang Xiao Qian Xiangjun said: "I didn't name a high price. I just want you to do one thing for me.

I've walked the rivers and lakes for a lifetime. Others pay me to do things. Although I live freely, I always feel something is missing.

This time the Inner Continent and Puluo Continent went to war. In my impression, it's the third time. I couldn't go to the battlefield, but I always feel that I fought this war too, so I just want—"

Li Li Banfeng said: "No need to feel! You fought this war. The Curse Insect Ruins is the battlefield. You fought a great victory!"

Yang Xiao Qian Xiangjun's nose twitched slightly, and her eyes turned slightly red: "You are the big boss of Puluo Continent. Saying this, do you acknowledge this battle?"

"I acknowledge!" Li Li Banfeng nodded forcefully,

"Not only do I acknowledge it, but Puluo Continent also acknowledges it. I'll find a few people to write a book and establish a biography for this battle, and there must be a separate chapter for you in it!"

"Good!" Yang Xiao Qian Xiangjun laughed, "That's enough. I'll guard here for another year!"

Li Li Banfeng said: "After a year, I will come to the Curse Insect Ruins again to find someone to replace you. If I can't come, someone will come to replace me. Let's sign a contract now!"

Yang Xiao Qian Xiangjun was stunned: "Why wouldn't you be able to come?"

Li Li Banfeng laughed: "I am the big boss of Puluo Continent. I am busy, and there are many things to be busy with. Give me more 'No Delusion.' I know you also need to use it here. Give me as much as possible."

"That thing isn't worth much. You can have as much as you want!" Yang Xiao Qian Xiangjun pulled out dozens of bottles from her sleeve and handed them to Li Li Banfeng.

Li Li Banfeng looked at the quantity seriously, as if calculating something.

Yang Xiao Qian Xiangjun said: "Is it not enough? I'll go refine more. You can come and get it. Just don't scare me!"

"Why would I scare you?" Li Li Banfeng counted again and nodded slightly, "It should be enough. These aren't for free.

I'll pay."

Li Li Banfeng left a lot of silver dollars, and Yang Xiao Qian Xiangjun sent Li Li Banfeng away from the village.

Watching Li Li Banfeng's back, Yang Xiao Qian Xiangjun's gaze wouldn't leave for a moment, always feeling that she would never see him again. ===== CHAPTER 857 =====
