The Blue Leaf Poplar does indeed have medicinal properties that can resolve Pill Poison, but these properties cannot be utilized.

The reason why the medicine powder provided by Zuo Wugang contains dozens of medicinal materials is probably because it is a substitute for Blue Leaf Poplar.

Since Red Lotus has already deciphered the prescription, why doesn't she just write it down directly instead of making Li Banfeng go through so much trouble to find Blue Leaf Poplar?

Li Banfeng believed Red Lotus's judgment; he estimated that alternative medicinal materials would be difficult to obtain, and their effects would certainly be far inferior to those of Blue Leaf Poplar.

The old man advised Li Banfeng not to look for Blue Leaf Poplar, but Li Banfeng insisted.

"Now that I've come all this way, I can't go back empty-handed."

The old man sighed and said, "Help me sort out the oranges first."

The dozen or so burnt orange trees were beyond saving. The old man climbed the trees and picked the oranges, while Li Banfeng caught them below. Before long, the huge oranges were piled up like a small Xiao Shan.

After finishing picking the oranges, Li Banfeng followed the old man to fetch water and water the saplings.

There are three wells in the large Orange Garden, which the old man is quite proud of. "When you clear land, you can dig a well for every piece of land you clear. I cleared all three pieces of land."

This makes it clear that he is the owner of this Orange Garden.

After watering the saplings, the old man took Li Banfeng to catch insects on the orange trees. In just one afternoon, the two of them caught hundreds of weevils.

Catching beetles is a very interesting thing. Li Banfeng climbed up and down between the orange trees without feeling tired at all. If the old man hadn't told him to stop and rest, Li Banfeng could have stayed there catching beetles all day.

"These elephant armors are all yours. You can sell them for a lot of money when you get back," the old man advised Li Banfeng a few more times.

Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "I don't want the Elephant Armor, I just want the Blue Leaf Poplar."

The old man sighed repeatedly, "Never mind, go and see the trees you planted."

He walked to the spot where Li Banfeng had buried the seeds and poured the remaining water from the bucket onto it.

After watering the oranges, the old man silently looked at the damp mud on the ground and slowly said, "I've stayed in this Orange Garden for countless years. To prevent these oranges from being ruined, I've endured countless beatings."

I've been beaten by being hung from a tree, beaten by being pinned to the ground, beaten with sticks, and stabbed with a knife.

Just now, I almost got burned.

There are also those who don't ruin the orange trees, and you are one of them.

Some people have spoken up for me, but over the years, there have been fewer than ten people in total, and you're one of them.

Three people have helped me over the years, and you are one of them.

No one has ever helped me grow oranges before; you're the first.

As they spoke, the soil rustled as seedlings broke through the earth.

Li Banfeng watched calmly as the sapling grew bigger and bigger until it sprouted green branches and grew tender blue leaves.

He sowed orange seeds, but unexpectedly, Blue Leaf Poplar grew out of them.

Are oranges the same as Blue Leaf Poplar?

But the orange leaves around it were all green.

Li Banfeng couldn't understand the reason behind it, and he quietly watched the poplar tree in front of him grow rapidly.

Once it grew to a diameter of over a foot and a height of over ten meters, the poplar tree stopped growing.

The old man looked at Li Banfeng and said, "Blue Leaf Poplar are a good thing, but unfortunately people are too greedy and have cut them down to extinction."

Young man, how much do you want? Take as much as you want.

Li Banfeng saw many fallen branches and leaves on the ground, picked them up, and put them in his pocket. "These are enough."

This wasn't just Li Banfeng polite; he felt he could only carry this much.

Thinking about what he had done, he had only helped the old man deal with two villains. Even if he hadn't taken action, the old man could have easily taken their lives.

As for helping the old man tidy up the oranges, that was just a small favor.

The act of burying the seeds did indeed move the old man, but Li Banfeng didn't feel that he had done anything earth-shattering.

Oranges are delicious, and delicious things should be cherished. It's that simple. There's no reason to take credit for something like this.

Moreover, the old man also told Li Banfeng about the origin of Green Water Bay. Li Banfeng couldn't even estimate the value of this information alone.

Using things in moderation and knowing when to stop is Li Banfeng's true idea.

The old man laughed, staring at Li Banfeng, and laughed for a long time, "If everyone in the world were like you, how wonderful that would be."

After saying that, the old man waved his hand, and a branch more than two meters long fell from a poplar tree in front of Li Banfeng.

"Young man, take this. This Blue Leaf Poplar has lost its vitality and cannot be planted. Don't even think about planting it. If this is not enough, come back to me."

Li Banfeng picked up the branch and thanked the old man.

The old man smiled and said, "Is there anything else you'd like? Would you like some water?"

The new water source is the hardest to find; most people who walk into the Orange Garden have already drunk all the water they brought with them.

But Li Banfeng didn't need that; he had water in his Portable Abode.

Seeing that Li Banfeng didn't want water, the old man asked Li Banfeng what he wanted.

The old man is so generous, so why are there still so many people coming here to ruin the orange grove?

Why waste such good oranges?

Li Banfeng looked around and said to the old man, "I'd like to eat an orange too."

The old man smiled, led Li Banfeng to the pile of oranges, and peeled an orange for Li Banfeng himself. "Eat up, there's plenty!"

After eating two oranges, Li Banfeng got up to say goodbye.

The old man smiled and said, "If you want to eat oranges again, come and see me."

Carrying the tree branches, Li Banfeng left the Orange Garden and returned to his Portable Abode.

Upon entering Portable Abode, Li Banfeng carried the tree branch and went straight to the outer room.

The Wife exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, husband, what is this? Isn't this Blue Leaf Poplar? Why did you bring this back?"

Li Banfeng had already prepared his explanation. "I want to have the Tang Blade reforged."

Ta-da-ta-ta~ Hey!

The Wife said in a slow, deliberate manner, "Husband, listen to Little Slave, don't reforge the Tang Blade. This weapon is already powerful; if you add Blue Leaf Poplar, it will be like Marquis Tiger Add Wings. If it were to harm you in the future, wouldn't that be like raising a tiger to cause trouble?"

Li Banfeng nodded and said, "What my Wife said makes sense, but this Blue Leaf Poplar was obtained with great difficulty, so we can't let it go to waste."

"Make your sickle, Iron Ruler, and Mandarin Duck Halberds. You like these weapons, but they have no spirit at all. Make them stronger and more worthy of your husband's status."

My Wife's words are truly pleasing to the ear.

"I'll listen to my Wife."

Upon entering the outer room, Tang Blade trembled with fear, having overheard Li Banfeng's conversation with the record player.

"My lord, I am utterly loyal and must not be forced to repent."

Li Banfeng sneered, "Scared now?"

After saying that, he threw all the magical treasures, including the Tang Blade, the pendulum, and the earrings, into the Fourth Room. Sure enough, no one disturbed them, and the Copper Lotus opened its petals.

She absorbed the entire Blue Leaf Poplar into her Lotus Heart, including the leaves and branches that Li Banfeng had picked up.

Just to be on the safe side, she sucked in the sickle, shovel, Iron Ruler, and Mandarin Duck Halberds all at once.

Li Banfeng returned to the main room and slept there for the night. His Wife showed no unusual symptoms, only complaining that the food for the day was not plentiful enough.

The next morning, Li Banfeng got up and went into the outer room, where the petals of the Copper Lotus had already opened.

The seven-hole Lotus Heart is filled, making a total of seven Lotus Seed.

The first two Lotus Seed each burst open to produce a Mystic Blaze Pill, which was refined by the two people who burned the tree yesterday.

The third Lotus Seed burst open and revealed Li Banfeng's favorite sickle.

From the outside, the sickle looked unchanged, but when Li Banfeng touched it, he could feel a toughness he had never experienced before.

He dared not touch the blade, for it was poisoned.

Next came the shovel, the Iron Ruler, and the Mandarin Duck Halberds.

The last Lotus Seed took a long time to crack in Li Banfeng's hand.

This resulted in the explosion of 177 blue pills.

Each pill is about the same size as the Golden Essence Pill, and because it is made from Blue Leaf Poplar, Li Banfeng calls it Blue Leaf Pill.

Can this elixir counteract the Pill Poison of the Golden Essence Pill?

Li Banfeng trusts Copper Lotus.

He wrapped the pills in tin foil and put them in his cloth bag. He then took out several weapons and showed them to his Wife.

Besides, on the two people who burned the tree, Li Banfeng found a strange weapon: an iron pole with a pointed end, more than a foot long, and made entirely of iron.

"What kind of weapon is this?"

Sizzle~

"It's the Judge's Brush," the Wife recognized it. "But this Judge's Brush isn't a weapon; it's a magical artifact. Listen carefully, husband; it makes a sound."

Li Banfeng can hear the voices of objects that possess a spirit.

He listened for more than ten minutes but heard nothing. His Wife got a little angry and told Li Banfeng to put the Judge's Brush next to the record player tray. His Wife blew steam onto it, making the Judge's Brush turn red.

The Judge's Brush spoke, and the communication seemed to be very efficient; Li Banfeng couldn't understand what it was saying.

The Wife cursed the Judge's Brush's pen, saying, "The things that Lazy Cultivator made are just useless."

Lazy Cultivator?

What is the origin of this?

The Wife said to Li Banfeng, "This Judge's Brush can fly. One person can fly a hundred meters at a time, two people can fly forty or fifty meters at a time, and three people can fly about ten meters. It can only carry a maximum of three people."

The usage is quite simple: draw a circle on the ground, the person who wants to fly stands inside the circle, indicates the direction, and waits for the Judge's Brush to respond.

"But this thing is too lazy; sometimes it might not respond for a day or two. Husband, let's find someone with a spiritual heart to refine it again another day."

This Judge's Brush can fly; it seems those two people crossed the Iron Wire River using this pen.

Lazy Cultivator, I learned about a new Daoist sect today.

Li Banfeng wanted to ask about Lazy Cultivator's matter, but the record player was too lazy to look at these mundane things and urged Li Banfeng to hurry up and buy groceries.

Li Banfeng sneered, "Little Underworld is just ahead. Can you even buy vegetables there?"

This question stumped the Wife.

"My Little Slave, I ate a meal yesterday and I'm not too hungry today, so please don't buy any more of their food."

Li Banfeng and left. His Wife was afraid that he would come back to apply Machine Oil again, so she didn't dare to say anything more.

After leaving his Portable Abode, Li Banfeng used his skill of Auspiciousness and Avoiding Calamity to find a relatively safe place in the wilderness, where he first consumed a Blue Leaf Pill.

After consuming the Blue Leaf Pill, Li Banfeng consumed a Golden Essence Pill.

Are the grades of these two pills a one-to-one correspondence?

It should be, otherwise so many Copper Lotus wouldn't have been produced.

After consuming the Golden Essence Pill, Li Banfeng's body began to feel numb, but he had not yet lost control.

The Pill Poison was still there, but the Blue Leaf Pill also played a role.

He tried to take two steps forward, but he staggered and struggled.

After resting for an hour, he was able to walk like a normal person.

Three hours later, the ability to Sudden Wind on Flat Ground was basically restored.

Efficient!

Blue Leaf Pill is very effective!

Should I try taking another Golden Essence Pill?

No.

My body is still a little numb; the effects of the medication haven't completely worn off.

This is new land, and it's hard to say what we'll encounter. Let's keep at a pace of one a day for now.

The return trip will be a bit slower.

Lu Dongjun, covered in injuries, returned to his residence, Wan Jinxian quickly went to inquire about his condition.

Lu Dongjun was unwilling to say more, so his subordinates told Wan Jinxian what had happened.

Today, Lu Dongjun went to the casino to collect debts, but he didn't expect that his uncle Lu Maoxian already waiting at the casino. Lu Maoxian a seventh-level cultivator and was quite old, so he shouldn't be able to beat Lu Dongjun.

However, he brought a large number of men, and under their combined attack, Lu Dongjun suffered losses.

"Damn it!" Lu Dongjun cursed. "That old bastard, I don't know what possessed him, listened to just a couple of words from Monkey Qiu, and actually attacked his own nephew!"

Wan Jinxian sighed, "Master, this is definitely not just Monkey Qiu's business."

Lu Dongjun nodded. "I know, there must be something to do with Duan Shaoxia here!"

Wan Jinxian shook his head. "It's not just Duan Shaoxia. Think about it, Lu Maoxian has three sons. The eldest son has already fallen. If you also fall, the most qualified among your peers will be their family. The position of head of the family will be hard to say."

Lu Dongjun suddenly realized. "He's deliberately trying to ruin my reputation so his son can usurp the throne! You old dog, he should take a good look at himself in the mirror and see what his sons are!"

Wan Jinxian brought over a newspaper and said, "Lu Maoxian deliberately ruined your reputation. This is today's Morning News; the news has already spread. Take a look!"

Lu Dongjun took the newspaper, glanced at it, and gritted his teeth in anger.

Headline news: Siblings turn against each other, Lu Dongliang is likely to die, leaving behind an orphan and a widow, with Madam Duan having nowhere to turn for help.

Wan Jinxian said, "I can even come up with the next news story for the newspaper: the Lu Family patriarch steps in, cleans up the family, upholds justice, and takes back control of the Lu Family!"

Lu Dongjun was furious. "That bastard Ling Miaowen is spouting nonsense, trying to drag me into this? He's got a death wish. I'm going to find him in a bit!"

Wan Jinxian advised, "Master, let's think this through carefully. We must not get angry now. Let's think about the next steps. I have an idea, Master, you might want to listen to it."

Lu Dongjun tore the newspaper in his hand to shreds.

At Second Miss Chu's residence, Chu Huaiyuan laughed out loud while holding a newspaper.

"The Lu Family is in complete chaos. The Bai Le Men is about to fall into my hands. Have someone prepare a car and head to Blue Poplar Village."

Wen Hongyan licked her forearm. "Back to Blue Poplar Village again? Have you taken a liking to Ma Wu?"

"Me, interested in him?" Chu Er scoffed. "What's so great about him? With his cowardice, I wouldn't even look at him. He's just not my type."

Wen Hongyan picked up a coconut, cut off the top, and took a sip of coconut juice. "If you don't like him, why go to Blue Poplar Village?"

Chu Er had a maid pick out a few dresses. "You don't understand business matters. Bai Le Men is a place where you can make money, but it's also a place where you can lose money. I'm not as good at making money as Ma Junyang, so I need to find him to help me run it for a while."

"Ma Wu is so cunning, he probably won't listen to me." Wen Hongyan opened another coconut.

Chu Er chose a long red dress. "If he doesn't listen, tie him up and bring him back. I have a way to make him listen."

PS: What exactly is that taste that makes Second Miss Chu so obsessed?
