Local Earth Horn

Li Banfeng was chased by eight bagworms all the way. Six of them gave up, but the remaining two chased Li Banfeng all the way to his own Land Block.

Li Banfeng entered the Land Block, immediately spilled blood, and begged the Local Earth God for protection.

As a result, the Local Earth God did not come.

What's going on?

The Local Earth God has abandoned me?

Are you still holding a grudge about what happened before?

Even if you hold a grudge, you still have to keep your promise!

Two moths entered the Land Block and said to Li Banfeng with grins, "Little brother, we've been chasing you all day, you have to reward us."

Li Banfeng gripped the key tightly. Several times, he wanted to go back to Portable Abode, but in the end, he didn't.

Once we go back, Bagworm Moth Madam might barge in. My Wife's condition has been abnormal, and something terrible could happen.

If we stall them a little longer, the Local Earth God will surely come.

As Li Banfeng was pondering a solution, he suddenly saw Ma Wu riding Yanzi, blocking the way for the two moths.

"You two wretches, who gave you permission to run wild here?" Yanzi shouted angrily.

The other two moths were stunned. One of them said, "Who is this woman? And why is she carrying a man on her back?"

"To be used as a mount by a man is truly shameful."

Yanzi got angry and said to Ma Wu, "Young Master, I can't take it these past two days and can't let you have your fill. I'll take these two sluts for you and let you have your fun."

As soon as she finished speaking, the Yanzi swooped down towards the two moths.

In Li Banfeng's view, fighting two against one would inevitably be a disadvantage, as he had always believed that all moths in Pro State were equally formidable.

But he didn't expect that there were differences between the Bagworm Moth Madam.

These two Bagworm Moth Madam lived near the Bitter Vegetable Manor. They had only recently taken shape and their cultivation levels were quite different; they were no match for Yanzi.

After exchanging blows several times, the three enormous bodies rolled around, causing the ground to tremble continuously.

The Yanzi spun out Insect Silk, easily trapping a bagworm. It then bared its venomous fangs and bit down on another bagworm. The venom seeped in, rendering the bagworm immobile.

"Young man, just enjoy yourself," Yanzi said tenderly to Ma Wu. "Even if you kill them, it doesn't matter; I'll find you new ones!"

Ma Wu, with a cold expression, walked up to the two moths.

The two moths trembled, wondering what Ma Wu was up to.

Ma Wu first asked the one inside the Insect Silk, "What's your name?"

The moth trapped in the Insect Silk answered honestly, "My name is Xian Xian."

Li Banfeng took a deep breath.

Ma Wu then asked the one that had been bitten, "What's your name?"

"My name is Qiao Cui."

Li Banfeng nodded repeatedly, saying that even the moths knew how to name themselves, and that the names were so ingenious.

Ma Wu looked at Xian Xian: "Let's start with you."

He began.

Li Banfeng knew that Ma Wu had come to rescue him, but there were some things he couldn't say.

But this matter...

"Um, Fifth Brother, this is my Land Block, should we wait a bit...?"

"Fifth brother, don't make too much noise, there are quite a few people around..."

"Chuanzi, let the brothers go back. There's nothing to see here."

"Hey, you centipede girl, are you looking for Fifth Son? Go to his house and wait there, he'll be done in a bit."

Having captured two raincoats, Ma Wu inquired about what had happened over the past two days.

"Seventh Brother, where have you been? I was so worried!"

"It's nothing. I just wandered around the new area and discovered a few interesting places."

Li Banfeng did not mention the matter of the Bitter Vegetable Manor.

Will Chu Er mention this to Ma Wu later?

Won't.

That's one good thing about her; she keeps her mouth shut.

She would rather be beaten to death than reveal Li Banfeng's name, nor would she divulge anything else.

Li Banfeng inquired about the new land's management, Ma Wu replied, "Houses are easy to manage, timber is easy to find, the key now is grain."

Although the Orange Garden Owner is generous, there are too many of us to keep asking him for food. I've been discussing the price with the owner these past few days, but he absolutely refuses to accept it.

"You have to give it to me even if I don't want it; I can't take advantage of this." Li Banfeng doesn't have the habit of asking for things for free.

Ma Wu's cultivation has improved considerably, and he told Li Banfeng about advancing two levels. Li Banfeng nodded and said, "I can see that. You're much more powerful than before."

"I plan to stay in New Town for three years. Three floors is no problem, and four floors are also a possibility!"

Wow, that's fast!

Joy Cultivator found the right Daoist partner, which was like taking a rocket.

This rocket is a bit bulky.

Everything else is normal, the only thing that's not normal is the Local Earth God.

"Seventh Brother, you did bleed earlier?"

"It spilled."

"Why doesn't the Local Earth God come?" Ma Wu couldn't understand.

The two made many guesses, but none of them could be confirmed. Ma Wu could only come up with one solution. "Let's hold a sacrificial ceremony tomorrow and see what the Local Earth God really means."

If they truly stop protecting us in the future, let's move to another place while the losses aren't too great.

The two made an agreement, Ma Wu was preparing offerings when he suddenly heard a buzzing sound outside the house.

"Whoosh~ Buzz!"

What was that sound?

The deep rumble lasted for more than two minutes.

Li Banfeng has very good hearing, but he couldn't tell where the sound came from.

Ma Wu had never encountered such a situation before and thought that some kind of alien had appeared.

"Fifth brother, go back to your Land Block and guard it. Tell the brothers to be on guard."

Ma Wu, worried about Li Banfeng, said, "Come back with me."

"Don't worry about me, I'll be there soon."

In a new land, the greatest hope lies with the Local Earth God.

If the Local Earth God doesn't offer protection, it's like living in a den of dragons and tigers.

Now a special situation has arisen. If the Local Earth God doesn't come, we have to make a decision soon and give up this Land Block.

After Ma Wu left, Li Banfeng opened his Portable Abode and told his Wife what had happened, "There was a sudden noise coming from the new place, a buzzing sound, I don't know what it was."

"Hey, my love, what's that buzzing sound?" The record player seemed a bit confused.

How can I describe this?

"Waaah~" Li Banfeng managed to imitate a few words.

"Is that the sound of the wind?"

"It wasn't the sound of the wind, it was extremely loud, it made my chest hurt."

"How long did it ring?"

"About two minutes."

Huff, huff, the record player pondered for a moment, the needle trembled, and the large speaker in the middle emitted a low hum. "Whoosh~ Buzz~"

"Hey, my love, is that the voice?"

"That's right, my Wife, that's the voice."

Clang~

"Husband, that's Local Earth Horn. How could you hear it? Are you clearing new land?"

Wife had already guessed, Li Banfeng naturally did not deny it. "I did indeed clear a piece of wasteland in Xindi."

"Ordinary creatures cannot hear the Local Earth Horn; only the Local Earth God's subordinates can. The Local Earth God is about to wage war. This is extremely rare, perhaps only once every few decades. Husband, do you wish to join the war?"

Joining the war?

Fighting the Local Earth God?

"Can I not participate in the war?"

"Why not? You're different from the outcasts in New Land. You weren't born and raised here. At worst, you can just give up the Land Block."

"What if I still want this Land Block?"

"My dear husband, it's really hard for you to give up anything you've earned. If you can't bear to part with the Land Block, then you'll have to join the war."

You can simply defend your territory without launching any attacks. Just send people to guard your own Land Block. According to the contract, as long as the Local Earth God wins, the Land Block will still be yours.

"What if the Local Earth God loses the battle?"

"The Local Earth God has lost the battle. You need to run for your life. All contracts are void, and this land is no longer yours."

Will the Local Earth God lose?

I just bled, but the Local Earth God didn't respond. Is he not in good condition?

"My lord, if the Local Earth God orders you to go to war, you must not agree. He may promise you many benefits, but these benefits are not so easy to obtain. On the battlefield, life is no longer life. My lord, you must listen to your Little Slave and you must not go."

In this matter, I should definitely listen to my wife.

For this small Land Block, I would never risk my life.

Sending troops into battle is not being considered.

Defending the territory is something that could be considered.

Ma Wu has three moths in his hands; guarding a mile-long Land Block shouldn't be too difficult.

I still have a lot of magic weapons here. When the time comes, I'll call Da Big Support Zuo Wugang, and it won't be too difficult to defend the Land Block.

If the Local Earth God loses the fight, then they can move. With Li Banfeng and Ma Wu's skills, it won't be difficult for them to open a new business in another location.

Having made up her mind, she heard the record player say, "Husband, that bitch Red Lotus seems to be making some moves these past few days. That Insect Chief's strength is too great; she seems to be struggling to hold on. It seems the elixir won't be able to be refined."

"Go check on that Little Slave when you have a moment. I'm terribly tired here, I'm going to sleep now."

Huff, huff.

My Wife is asleep.

After so much time, the insect's head still hadn't been digested, and Li Banfeng was a little worried. He went into the outer room and saw that the Red Lotus's petals and leaves were trembling.

She has something to say to me.

And it's something that's inconvenient for others to hear.

Li Banfeng went to the Fifth Chamber, took out the Wine Gourd, pendulum, Tang Blade, earrings, and teapot, placed them on the table, and then returned to the outer room.

Everything was cleaned up, and the lotus quietly bloomed.

Is this freshly made?

I finished making it as soon as I arrived?

Is it really that much of a coincidence?

It can't be that much of a coincidence.

Red Lotus seemed to have already refined the elixir, but hadn't taken it out before.

What is the reason for this?

Are you afraid I'll act impulsively and eat it all?

Don't worry, Ah Lian, I'm not that kind of person.

How many pills can be refined from an insect's head? Conservatively speaking, there must be at least a hundred Golden Essence Pill, right?

Does that mean I'll have to reach the Tenth Layer?!

If you reach the Tenth Layer, wouldn't that mean you have three times the lifespan?

Hahaha!

Li Banfeng revealed a ferocious smile, quietly waiting for the Lotus Seed to explode.

With a snap, Lotus Seed exploded into a pill.

One.

Just one?

Li Banfeng's smile froze.

"Ah Lian, did you smuggle something good into your possession?"

Such a huge insect head, and it's called an Insect Chief, claiming to be more powerful than the Local Earth God, and this is all you've got for me?

The Red Lotus was covered in dewdrops.

It wasn't saliva, it was tears of grievance.

This is a top-grade elixir.

The rich aroma of herbs quickly filled the air, permeating the entire outer room with a pleasant fragrance.

Li Banfeng realized that this elixir was unusual. A whirlwind blew up from the Red Lotus, quickly drawing the fragrance of the medicine into the Lotus Heart.

The lotus leaf trembled incessantly, as if reminding Li Banfeng to quickly put away the pills.

Li Banfeng found a cloth bag, put the pills in it, and the fragrance still wafted out.

Li Banfeng found another wooden box to put it in, but it still couldn't stop the aroma.

Lotus Heart blew over a few sheets of white paper, and Li Banfeng wrapped the box several more times, finally managing to contain the fragrance.

The Red Lotus leaves curled back and forth, signaling Li Banfeng to leave Portable Abode quickly.

Why are you in such a hurry?

The lotus leaves swayed back and forth, and after a long while, Li Banfeng understood the Red Lotus's intention.

Red Lotus had already refined the elixir, but she hadn't taken it out yet because she was waiting for an opportunity.

Waiting for the opportunity when my Wife falls asleep.

After my Wife falls asleep, she will give me this good pill and let me secretly take it out.

My Wife didn't see this good pill, so naturally she won't ask where it went. I ate the pill, and my Wife won't suspect anything.

"But what if my Wife asks where the insect's head went? How will I explain that?"

Another Lotus Seed sprouted from the Lotus Heart the Red Lotus Heart, then exploded and vanished into nothingness.

What's the meaning?

The Pill Refining failed?

Isn't this explanation a bit far-fetched?

Not far-fetched at all.

Red Lotus had put on a false impression, making her Wife think something was wrong, so she specifically asked me to come and check on her.

Given the unfavorable circumstances, the failure of the Pill Refining was to be expected.

Li Banfeng touched the Red Lotus, and the Red Lotus shyly curled its leaves.

The considerate Ah Lian is truly beautiful.

Doing things behind my Wife's back is so exciting!

Taking this pill might allow me to advance one level in cultivation, bringing me to the same level as Travel Cultivator and House Cultivator. I won't have to worry about any backlash from the cultivation.

The Pill Poison from a single pill is easily tolerable; even without taking the Blue Leaf Pill, one can withstand it on their own.

Li Banfeng became more and more excited as he thought about it. He took the pills, left the outer room, and went into the main room.

As it passed the record player, it seemed to breathe rapidly, as if it were about to wake up.

Li Banfeng quickened his pace to the door and was about to open it when he suddenly heard a clanging sound as the Judge's Brush fell from his waist to the ground.

Didn't we just put all the magic treasures into the Fifth Chamber?

How could I have forgotten about it?

How did this piece of junk fall out?

The Judge's Brush, not knowing how it suddenly fell out, cried out in fright, "Ah!"

Two consecutive noises woke his Wife.

Clang clang~

"Hey, my love, where are you going? Oh, oh, oh~ what's that smell so good?"

In the Bitter Vegetable Manor, Bitter Granny was picking bitter vegetables when a leaf suddenly fell to the ground.

The Bitter Granny picked up a vegetable leaf and glanced at it. "This kid used up his first luck so quickly?"

What happened to him?

The Bitter Granny continued picking vegetables.

Once it's used up, it's used up; he still has to pay it back anyway.

P. S.: Why is this considered good luck?
