Fool's City

The Number One Sect Under Heaven?

That was terrifying!

Why shouldn't House Cultivator and Travel Cultivator be the first step?

Li Banfeng protested, "Wife, what techniques does this Daoist sect employ?"

"Oh, my lord, your question has stumped this Little Slave. This Little Slave has no idea what techniques I possess."

Little Slave have never met Yu Xiu. The Yu Xiu sect has been extinct for a long time, and there have been no practitioners of that sect in the world for many years.

"Little Slave know is that this Daoist sect is extremely powerful, incredibly shrewd, and uses unpredictable methods; they have no rivals among their peers."

No rivals?

In the world of Daoism, apart from the practice of cultivating metal, all other schools of Daoism have a relationship of mutual generation and mutual restraint, as the Peddler said.

"Isn't there any Daoist practice to restrain foolish cultivators?"

The record player said, "It is said that there is only one Daoist sect in the world that can restrain foolish cultivators, but that sect is powerless to fight against them."

"Wait a minute," Li Banfeng frowned, "I don't understand. Which Daoist sect can restrain a foolish cultivator? Why are they powerless to fight against him?"

"This Little Slave does not know which sect it is, nor does he know why it is powerless to fight. According to this Little Slave's speculation, it may be that the sect has too few people, or that they are not united."

"Can foolish practitioners truly be of one mind?"

"They weren't exactly a perfect match, but they could still fight together. They jointly established Fool's City in Pro State because the Fool Cultivator was too strong. In Pro State, no one dared not tremble at the mere mention of Fool's City's name."

"If they were so powerful, how did they become extinct?"

"It's hard to say. Some say they died because they were fooling and playing tricks on each other, leading to infighting."

Some say it's because the bigger the tree, the more the wind blows; the foolish cultivator was besieged by other Daoist sects and ultimately perished.

There are many conflicting accounts, making it difficult to discern the truth. But Little Slave only remember one thing: during my cultivation, a senior once warned me that Fool's City still exists in the Old Land. Although there are no living cultivators there, there are still the spirits of the deceased.

Even as an undead, Yu Xiu remains incredibly powerful. That senior told me never to come to Fool's City. Husband, how did you get here?

Li Banfeng rubbed his forehead, his thoughts in complete disarray.

How did I end up in Fool's City? What am I doing here?

"My Wife, is my technique just a deception?"

Sizzle~

"My lord, when I heard the elders talk about foolish cultivation, Little Slave thought the same thing back then. I think foolish cultivation should be called deceptive cultivation."

But an elder once met Yuxiu, and he warned me, "Foolishness is foolishness, deception is deception, but the key to Yuxiu's foolishness is foolishness, not deception."

What does this elder do? Why does he speak in such a roundabout way?

Li Banfeng pondered for a moment and seemed to have figured out some clues.

Foolishness is foolishness, deception is deception.

These people's scams aren't necessarily that sophisticated.

My IQ has dropped.

They've made me look "foolish"!

This is the true power of foolish cultivators.

"No wonder I've been getting scammed ever since I came to the city. Even the street vendor selling herbal plasters managed to swindle a dollar from me!"

Li Banfeng immediately got up, wanting to leave Fool's City.

The record player called out, "Husband, why don't you wait a bit before you leave? I see that your thoughts are still a bit chaotic; perhaps you've fallen for the tricks of the foolish cultivator."

Li Banfeng turned to the record player. "Wife, do you have a way to counter the techniques of the foolish cultivator?"

"This..." The record player couldn't do anything.

She's never even met Yu Xiu, so how could she counter his techniques?

"Husband, rest a little longer in the house before going out." This was the only suggestion the record player could offer. The ability of House Cultivator to recover within the house was unmatched by other Daoist sects.

But Li Banfeng had another concern. "Wife, I feel my mind is getting more and more confused. I've fallen for Yu Xiu's technique. The longer it drags on, won't the poison get worse?"

"This..." The record player couldn't explain.

Li Banfeng then asked, "Since Fool's City is the territory of foolish cultivators, if I stay in this city for a long time, will I be influenced and become increasingly dull-witted?"

"This..." The Wife still couldn't explain.

"I'd better leave as soon as possible!" Li Banfeng was about to leave again, without even taking his magic weapon with him.

The Wife called out, "Husband, bring all the magic weapons!"

"Gourd Girl, if anyone tries to deceive us men again, please warn them."

The Wine Gourd replied, "When I was selling the plaster, I never thought the little brother would fall for it. After he bought the plaster, I felt that the money wasn't much."

The record player felt a sudden tightness in his chest.

Did the gourd also fall victim to this technique?

The record player continued, "With blood in your veins, you can deal with the spirits of the dead. Come with your husband."

"Tethering threads," you often whispered in your husband's ear, reminding him from time to time...

Old Teapot, you've woken up too. You're so knowledgeable, come along with me.

Second Blade, you stay by my side to protect my husband.

There's no need to bring the Judge's Brush; it's useless.

"Bring the calendar poster along; that bitch is pretty clever."

Li Banfeng carried a pair of magical artifacts and a calendar poster to the door.

After thinking for a moment, Li Banfeng put the calendar poster back.

"I'm running away. How conspicuous would I be walking down the street with a calendar poster under my arm?"

Li Banfeng left, but his Wife was still worried. "My husband didn't seem quite right today."

Red Lotus said from the side, "Let me go out and take a look. I've met Yuxiu before, and perhaps I can be of help."

"You want me to leave?" The record player thought for a moment, "Wait a little longer."

"Wait until when? Until that madman loses his life?"

The record player spewed out a cloud of steam, turning Red Lotus bright red. "Girl, don't say such unlucky things. Just wait patiently. Maybe you'll be released in your next life."

"Wicked Woman!" Red Lotus spat at the record player, which then burned with steam.

After a brief struggle, Red Lotus fell silent. The record player looked at the calendar and said, "Husband should bring Dream Virtue with him. Both virtue and Dream Cultivator can stir up the mind, which will definitely be useful in front of foolish cultivators."

Dream Virtue agreed, "Madam is right, I am useful."

The Judge's Brush sneered, "Too many."

The Wife was taken aback and asked the Judge's Brush, "What did you just say that was too much?"

"Hmph..." The Judge's Brush was too lazy to repeat itself.

When Li Banfeng returned to his room at the inn, he found it ransacked.

This store seems suspicious; it's very likely a shady business.

Why did I end up in a shady shop?

The innkeeper couldn't find me, so he must have thought I had run away.

Should I just use this as a pretext to escape?

Or should we launch a surprise attack and catch them off guard, catching them off guard and catching them off guard again?

In the past, Li Banfeng's first reaction would have been revenge.

Despite the fact that the shop is full of ghosts, Li Banfeng is not afraid of them at all, thanks to the pendulum.

In Fool's City, if I fight against Fool Cultivator, can I gain the upper hand?

Besides, there might be other people in this inn. What if I get surrounded? How will I get away?

When Li Banfeng thought too much, he felt a headache coming on.

Forget it, I'll settle this score later. Getting out of here is the priority.

Li Banfeng jumped out of the window, came to the street, and walked towards the city gate.

After walking for a while, Li Banfeng began to think about an important question.

Should we go left or right?

Where is the city gate?

Didn't Li Banfeng come from the city gate?

Li Banfeng remembered the road from the city gate to the inn's main gate.

But now he had jumped out of a hotel room window and was in a small alley, not on the main street. He was a little confused about how to get to the city gate.

Just because the exit was changed, you lost your way?

How could Travel Cultivator lose his sense of direction?

Li Banfeng kept rubbing his head, becoming increasingly impatient as he walked.

The man with the Wine Gourd said cautiously, "Little brother, don't rush. Let's check the wind direction first, then decide on the direction."

Wind direction?

Li Banfeng couldn't remember what the wind direction was when he entered the city.

The earring suggested, "Sir, why don't we go back to the inn's main gate and walk back the way we came?"

The pendulum angrily berated the earring. "You blockhead! If you go back to the inn's entrance, won't the innkeeper see you? That's practically walking into a trap!"

The earring retorted, "Then what's your plan?"

Li Banfeng was too lazy to listen to their argument. These magical artifacts were clearly also affected by Fool's City, and their intelligence had dropped.

At critical moments and when faced with critical issues, Li Banfeng still has to make the decisions himself.

Li Banfeng was in a narrow alley with his view obstructed, so he definitely couldn't find the way out of the city.

If you find a place with a clear view, you can find the way, right?

There was a Clock Tower not far away. Li Banfeng ran through the alley and along the main street to the foot of the Clock Tower, and then climbed to the top of the Clock Tower.

The view here is truly expansive!

This Clock Tower must be the tallest building in the entire Fool's City, right?

Li Banfeng looked around and quickly located the city gate.

Moreover, he found the locations of all four city gates, not just one.

He was excited, he was delighted.

More than a dozen people from Friends Inn rushed out to celebrate with Li Banfeng.

"Look! He's on the Clock Tower!"

"Quick! Don't let him get away!"

"Hold him down, chop him to death!"

A group of people rushed towards the Clock Tower, Li Banfeng quickly ran away.

"How did they see me? How did they know I was here?"

After running a few steps, Li Banfeng frowned and realized what the problem was.

He was the only person in the entire city; the rest were all ghosts.

This is a living person, and he's standing in the highest place in the whole city.

What the hell was I thinking?

Why am I climbing so high?

It would be very difficult for the people at the inn to find me.

After speeding through the city, Li Banfeng finally managed to shake off his pursuers.

After catching his breath, another voice appeared in his ear. "Young man, I've given you some advice, but you won't listen. Do you still want to leave the city?"

Li Banfeng turned around and saw that it was that Gold Picking Gate again, Li Banfeng one he had given a hundred yuan to before.

"How did you find me?"

"I can see the Sha Qi emanating from you from a great distance."

How did you know I was going to leave the city?

The fortune teller laughed and said, "Your fate is written all over your face. How can it escape my eyes? Young man, you must not leave the city. Bloodshed is imminent."

Li Banfeng strode away without saying another word to the fortune teller.

Staying in this city is what brings me bloodshed. My brain is getting worse and worse; if I stay any longer, I won't even know how to dodge a knife thrown at me.

As Li Banfeng walked through the alley, he kept repeating one sentence to himself. "The main street is ahead, it must be the main street..."

As a result, the alley ahead turned into another alley.

Li Banfeng got lost again.

What should we do?

Should I ask someone for directions?

Is it possible for people here to tell the truth?

Seeing that Li Banfeng was getting agitated, Teapot advised, "Brother, go home and rest for a while. Take a nap first. You're House Cultivator, you'll feel better once you've calmed down."

The Old Teapot's advice was similar to everyone else's, and none of it was particularly valuable.

However, Li Banfeng can only return to Portable Abode for the time being.

He had a terrible headache; he didn't know if it was from exhaustion or anger.

He felt his thoughts becoming increasingly chaotic, and even thinking about a small thing required a lot of mental effort.

Back at his Portable Abode, Li Banfeng collapsed onto the bed and fell asleep.

The record player asked what had happened, but the group of magical artifacts couldn't explain it clearly.

The record player seemed a bit flustered. "What's wrong? Has it gone mad?"

She was a little scared; she worried that Li Banfeng would never be able to get out again.

"My dear husband, go to sleep. When you wake up and your mind is clear, you'll feel better."

"Hmph!" Judge's Brush snorted coldly and went to sleep first.

P. S.: Among the medicine seller, the fortune teller, and the owner of the shady shop, who has the highest level of cultivation?
