Zha Hu Long Spear

Can an ordinary spear, a belt that adds to one's prestige, and a button that can mimic a sound be combined to create Hong Ying?

Li Banfeng thought it was possible because cultivation level is invisible.

But the foundation for all of this was the intervention of Red Lotus.

Li Banfeng moved the Copper Lotus from the Sixth Room to the main room, and the Red Lotus prepared itself covered in dew.

"Ah Lian, I have a favor to ask of you."

Pfft~

Red Lotus gave Li Banfeng a dewdrop, which landed on his face.

Li Banfeng wiped his face, not angry, but the record player was.

"You shameless woman, how dare you spit on your husband? Who gave you the audacity?"

Puff!

Red Lotus gave the record player another dewdrop.

The record player was spewing steam and about to fight with Red Lotus when Li Banfeng shouted, "Wife, if Alian refuses to help, I'll have no choice but to send Hong Ying away."

Huff~ Huff~

The Wife adjusted her breathing, turned the megaphone towards Red Lotus, and began to sing while playing the erhu:

"Hey girl, we're family, no need for formalities. Why are you still holding a grudge about what happened before?"

Pfft! It's still a dewdrop.

"Little sister, I was wrong before, please don't hold it against me."

Li Banfeng also chimed in, saying, "I was wrong too, let's just let this go."

After the two pleaded for a long time and were sprayed with dew, Red Lotus finally agreed.

The spear, buttons, and belt were all put into the Lotus Heart. Red Lotus then said a few words to the record player.

The record player used a stylus to take two poetry collections and a stack of newspapers and handed them to Red Lotus.

It took nearly two hours to forge a spear.

This spear looks exactly like Hong Ying; even if it were placed in front of a high-level spy, they might not be able to spot the flaw.

The record player sighed repeatedly, praising Red Lotus's methods. "I have to say, this shameless... girl is actually quite useful."

Hong Ying woke up, but her body was still bound by steam and she couldn't move.

She sensed a powerful aura, but unfortunately, only her ears had recovered; her eyes remained blind, and she didn't know what had appeared before her.

This force is even more powerful than hers.

Who is this person?

Has the enemy arrived?

After being modified by Red Lotus, the belt's power was fully unleashed, and in terms of sheer power, it surpassed the real Hong Ying.

Hong Ying spoke up, "Wicked Woman, is this your authority? No, this demeanor isn't like you. What is this thing?"

Li Banfeng, carrying a long spear, couldn't quite explain what it was.

Two high-level Spiritual Object, after being reworked by Red Lotus, were fused together with an extremely ordinary weapon. What do you think this thing should be called?

Li Banfeng named it "Fried Tiger".

What a powerful name!

Li Banfeng raised the Zha Hu Long Spear, and the spear let out a cry.

"The snow obscures the painted banners, and the wind mingles with the sound of drums."

Hong Ying was very nervous. "Where did this thief come from? Do you want to fight me?!"

Li Banfeng was even more nervous than Hong Ying. He looked at Red Lotus and said, "Ah Lian, did you forge the Tang Blade? That sword is still useful!"

Red Lotus remained silent, Li Banfeng rushed into the second room and found Tang Blade peeking through the crack in the door.

The newly crafted Zha Hu Long Spear can recite poetry, and the way it does so fascinates Tang Blade.

However, the spirit of this spear comes from two Spiritual Object, not from a magical artifact, and the intelligence of these Spiritual Object is extremely limited.

This spear can recite poetry, but only within the two poetry collections it has been refined; otherwise, it cannot speak on its own.

It exudes a powerful aura, even stronger than Hong Ying's own, and its voice is very similar to Hong Ying's.

However, it cannot make overly complex responses, nor does it have the ability to fight independently; this is an insurmountable gap between Spiritual Object and magical artifacts.

Can this gun fool Luo ZhengNan?

It depends on how well the show is done.

Li Banfeng left Portable Abode and summoned Wu Yongchao, asking him to prepare a banquet.

Wu Yongchao didn't know why, but since the fortress lord didn't say, he didn't ask.

With all the food and drinks prepared, Li Banfeng chose the mansion as the venue for the gathering, setting up more than twenty tables on the first floor and also arranging a tea room in the east Deputy Building.

What's wrong with the lord of the fortress?

Didn't they say before that the mansion was a forbidden area?

The east Deputy Building, in particular, must not be entered under any circumstances.

Li Banfeng explained that the matter of the mansion had been resolved, and it would now be the place where Iron Gate Fort handled official business.

The House Cultivator were overjoyed. They had previously thought that Demons and evil spirits had appeared in the fortress, and they had even seen someone nailed to the door, causing panic throughout the fortress.

Now that the evil spirits are gone, they must have been eliminated by the lord of the fortress.

With deep respect, everyone offered toasts to the lord of the fortress.

Hu Fangyuan raised his glass and said, "Master, this glass of wine is a token of my respect for you. I don't usually drink, but I'm drinking this glass today just to give you face. I'll drink it first, and you can drink as you please."

Li Banfeng looked at Hu Fangyuan, "If I quit, wouldn't that be a bit ungrateful?"

After finishing her drink, the female House Cultivator Li Zhijuan came again. "We women don't drink alcohol, but I respect the lord of the fortress, so I'll drink with you."

After finishing her drink, Li Zhijuan looked at Li Banfeng with a flushed face and said, "Master, I really drank it all."

"Okay..." Li Banfeng felt embarrassed to refuse.

After finishing his second glass, Wu Yongchao came over with his cup. "Master, I don't usually drink..."

Li Banfeng said with a stern face, "If you're not going to drink, then don't drink."

"I absolutely have to have a drink with the lord today."

"I don't want to drink with you."

When are you going to pay me back the novel you owe me?

Li Banfeng poured himself a glass of wine. "Chao, what are you saying? What kind of friendship do we have..."

They drank until late at night, and most of the three hundred House Cultivator were drunk.

The next day when the market opened, all the House Cultivator stayed at home and didn't come out. Luo ZhengNan was squatting on the side of the street selling vegetables when he heard an old man selling oil say in his ear, "We had a celebration banquet yesterday, and everyone got drunk. A girl just told me that."

Luo ZhengNan remained silent as he spotted Li Banfeng strolling through the market.

Without exchanging many words, Luo ZhengNan followed Li Banfeng directly into the house where they had met earlier.

After the guests and hosts were seated, Li Banfeng got straight to the point. "I've sold the goods, have you raised the money?"

Luo ZhengNan laughed and said, "It's all here! Not only is it all here, but I also brought it for you!"

Li Banfeng was taken aback. "Eight hundred thousand silver dollars?"

How could he possibly bring over a huge box of 10,000 silver dollars, or eighty boxes of silver dollars?

Luo ZhengNan lowered his head and took out a bag from his waist.

He untied the drawstring of the pocket, but the pocket did not open.

This bag is Spiritual Object; to open it, there is a verification process.

Luo ZhengNan pressed the pocket to his forehead, and the two exchanged a few words.

Li Banfeng watched the whole process and tentatively asked, "What kind of method is this?"

Luo ZhengNan didn't shy away from the topic. "This is called short-range wireless communication. In Outer State, it's called Bluetooth Technology. I especially like things from Outer State. Even though I'm getting old, I still like to keep up with the times."

Li Banfeng stared at Luo ZhengNan's head, carefully searching for the Bluetooth switch.

This thing can't be left on all the time; it consumes a lot of electricity.

After Bluetooth verification, the pocket opened.

Luo ZhengNan reached into his pocket and took out a tray.

The pocket convulsed as if it were about to vomit.

Luo ZhengNan cautioned, "Don't rush."

He first placed the tray flat on the ground. A mechanical dial was attached to the bottom of the tray, and the current reading was zero.

This tray looks like a scale, but it's not; it's a mechanical counter.

The counter will increment once whenever the tray is subjected to a certain degree of impact. The highest number it can display is 99,999, meaning it resets to zero every time it reaches 100,000.

Luo ZhengNan inserted a tube into his pocket, and the pocket spasmed again.

This time, the pocket couldn't hold back any longer and spat the silver dollar out through the tube.

Ding ding ding~

The silver dollars landed on the tray, making a continuous clattering sound, and the counter kept ticking. Li Banfeng and Luo Zhennan watched as the bag, like a straight line, dispensed 800,000 silver dollars.

Eight hundred thousand silver dollars were piled on the ground, leaving almost no room to step inside the room.

Luo ZhengNan laughed and said, "Lord of the Fortress, the money has been delivered. Isn't that enough to show my sincerity?"

Isn't he afraid that the lord of the fortress will betray him?

Afraid!

But Luo ZhengNan had a backup plan; he still had something in his pocket, but he wouldn't use it unless absolutely necessary.

The money was in place, and Li Banfeng didn't hesitate.

He went up to the second floor, locked the door, entered his Portable Abode, and took out his spear.

When the spear was placed in front of Luo ZhengNan, its powerful aura made Luo ZhengNan tremble and almost fall under the table.

This is it.

You can't go wrong!

Luo ZhengNan calmed himself down, tried twice, and finally caught the spear in his hand and put it into the huge bag.

The pocket clenched so badly that it took a lot of effort to swallow the Zha Hu Long Spear.

Luo ZhengNan was terrified. He wiped the sweat from his brow and said to Li Banfeng, "Lord of the Fortress, it's not that I'm being disrespectful, but next time you deal with something like this, at least find something to seal it away."

You just gave it to me like that? I almost lost my soul just from taking it! I'm afraid my bag won't last much longer.

Li Banfeng sighed, "The only thing that can seal this spear is the Deputy Building next door."

But I broke the seal, and now I can't think of anything that could seal it again.

Luo ZhengNan looked at his pockets.

The pocket was still spasming and seemed to have become very weak.

This was his most important Spiritual Object, and Luo ZhengNan felt heartbroken looking at it.

"It's getting late, I should be going. We've met before, so we're friends. The road ahead is long, I hope you'll look after me in the future. Farewell, Lord."

Seeing that Luo ZhengNan was about to leave, Li Banfeng said politely, "Hall Master Luo, no rush. I have prepared some wine. Let's have a couple of drinks."

Luo ZhengNan waved his hand and said, "I'm an honest person, so let's be frank. I can't feel at ease with this thing on my person for even a moment. I'll come to your residence to pay my respects after I've dealt with it."

After saying that, Luo ZhengNan left.

When he left the fortress, Wan Jinxian was still setting up a fortune-telling stall on the street.

Seeing Luo ZhengNan leave in a hurry, Wan Jinxian quickly sent a message to He Jiaqing.

"Jiaqing, Lao Luo is coming out of the fort. He looks rushed, so the business deal is probably done."

"It's settled? So quickly?" He Jiaqing felt that Luo ZhengNan shouldn't have acted so hastily.

"I don't think that's fast!" Wan Jinxian with great concern. "It's not just Luo ZhengNan who came out; Jiang Xiang Gang and the others also left the fortress."

He Jiaqing was taken aback. "Are they leaving?"

Wan Jinxian said, "Yesterday, Iron Gate Fort held a victory celebration banquet. A bunch of House Cultivator half-dead drunk, and they even tore off the seals on the forbidden area."

Luo ZhengNan entered the fort this morning and rushed out by noon. I'm worried that not only was the deal agreed upon, but it might actually be all done!

He Jiaqing gritted his teeth and almost fell off the hospital bed.

"Old Wan, keep a close eye on Luo ZhengNan immediately. Don't let him leave Iron Gate Fort. If the item is in his hands, get it back at all costs!"

PS: Luo ZhengNan has done a great job; he bought a big treasure for 800,000 silver dollars.

But can he take this "precious treasure" back with him?
