Wounded Demon Fiend

Cultivation is something that remains partly in the soul and partly in the body. The cultivation in the soul was consumed by the Wife, while the cultivation in the body was left to the lotus. Li Banfeng knew this.

Pill Refining pills involves losses, and lotus flowers also need to be charged for their labor. Li Banfeng could understand this.

Ke Ling Miaoying has a cultivation level of seven, which means that there are still sixty years to go before reaching the next level.

Only six Golden Essence Pills were produced?

Six Golden Essence Pill represent six hundred days, which is less than two years. Under these circumstances, Li Banfeng should take a look.

"Ah Lian, how much of it did you eat?"

Red Lotus doesn't have the means to Portable Abode, and given Li Banfeng's current status, he can't hear her when she speaks.

She wanted her Wife to relay her message, and after listening to her explanation for a moment, her Wife turned to Li Banfeng and said, "Husband, there's no need to dwell on this."

Seeing that his Wife was so confident, Li Banfeng felt relieved.

Lotus certainly has her own schemes, but the Wife seems to have her own way of dealing with them.

After resting for a day at Li Banfeng, they went to Xindi.

After the first round of clearing was over, Li Banfeng worried that no one would be willing to participate in the second round.

The result was different from what he expected. There were quite a few people participating in the second round of land reclamation, partly because Meng Yuchun was very generous and gave the land reclamation participants a lot of local specialties.

Secondly, food can be found in this place. There is a forest in Meng Yuchun's territory, with many fruit trees with green skin and red leaves. The fruit is about the size of a fist and can be eaten. In terms of taste, some taste like glutinous rice, some like oats, some like beef or mutton, and some like toenails. They are all different.

Not only are the fruits edible, but there are also plenty of edible wild vegetables nearby, ensuring a good balance of meat and vegetables.

Finding food in new lands is very difficult. For hunters, as long as there is food, it is a place to survive, and they can endure being in a remote place.

It was good that everyone was willing to clear the land. Li Banfeng took this opportunity to wander around the area. After walking for dozens of miles, he suddenly saw Meng Yuchun standing in the flower bushes, smiling and waving at Li Banfeng.

"Come on, come quick!"

Li Banfeng was taken aback. What could have made her laugh so happily?

Meng Yuchun called out, "Come over here quickly, before anyone sees us."

Nobody saw it?

What does she want to do?

Are you trying to steal my things?

Li Banfeng became more vigilant.

Meng Yuchun grew anxious. "Why aren't you coming over yet?"

Li Banfeng said, "Tell me first, what do you want me to do there?"

"What else can I do? They've been waiting for you for ages."

Li Banfeng found it even more absurd. "Why are you waiting for me?"

Meng Yuchun retorted reproachfully, "I've already said it all, do you really not understand?"

Li Banfeng genuinely didn't understand. "Just say what you want to do!"

Meng Yuchun sighed, "What a dull person. Meeting is fate. Do some things really have to be said so clearly?"

Is meeting someone a matter of fate?

That seems rather inappropriate.

Li Banfeng lowered the brim of his hat and asked, "You don't recognize me?"

"I..."

Meng Yuchun stood there, stunned. The smile on her face disappeared, and her expression gradually became ferocious.

This Meng Yuchun is fake.

Who impersonated her? And did it so convincingly?

The two sides stood in a stalemate for a moment, waiting for the right opportunity to make their move.

Suddenly someone shouted from the side, "Young man, don't do anything rash, this is Wounded Demon Fiend."

Li Banfeng looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man around sixty years old with messy white hair and beard, wearing a gray cloth shirt covered in mud, squatting in the weeds, pressing down his palm to signal Li Banfeng not to make any rash moves.

Who is this person?

While pondering, the fake Meng Yuchun on the hillside suddenly rushed towards Li Banfeng.

Li Banfeng retreated and dodged, preparing to test the other party's methods first. The lurking man stood up first, took out a bronze mirror from his pocket, and shone it on the fake Meng Yuchun.

The bronze mirror burst into light, and under the light, the fake Meng Yuchun was covered in smoke and let out a shrill wail.

The man turned to Li Banfeng and said, "Young man, you go first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Banfeng's feet suddenly lifted off the ground, his body hovering, and he flew directly into the depths of the mountains and forests.

What kind of magic is this?

How can you make me fly?

Is this the magic of the fake Meng Yuchun, or the old man's magic?

An invisible force supported Li Banfeng's body, propelling him forward at high speed.

Li Banfeng repeatedly kicked and disrupted the source of the force, flying for more than two minutes before finally breaking free of the spell and landing back on the ground.

Looking back, the fake Meng Yuchun had long since disappeared. Li Banfeng no idea how far he had flown; the speed at which he had flown seemed to be about the same as the speed at which he had run at full speed.

What exactly is going on?

Li Banfeng was completely bewildered when he suddenly saw the old man panting as he caught up. "Young man, you're lucky. If you had taken one more step forward, I wouldn't have been able to save you!"

Li Banfeng looked at the old man with a puzzled expression, but remained silent.

The old man laughed and said, "I am the Local Earth God of the neighboring territory. According to the rules, I shouldn't be in Meng Yuchun's territory."

But Meng Yuchun had only recently become the Local Earth God, so there were some rules she didn't understand, and some things she had never seen before.

This girl has a rather carefree personality. The Wounded Demon Fiend disguised itself as her and came to the area to cause trouble. I was worried something might happen to her, so I came to check on her.

Li Banfeng remained silent.

The old man said, "Are you frightened? It's alright. This Wounded Demon Fiend knows its limits. As long as I'm here, she won't dare to chase after us easily."

Li Banfeng blinked and looked at the old man very seriously.

The old man moved two stones over, placed them on the ground, and said to Li Banfeng, "Don't worry, let's sit down and talk."

After saying this, the old man sat down on a rock.

Li Banfeng did not sit down, but continued to look at the old man.

The old man frowned and said, "What's wrong with you, child? I told you to sit down, but you won't; I asked you a question, but you won't answer."

"You don't recognize me?" Li Banfeng finally spoke.

The old man was startled, looked Li Banfeng up and down, and tentatively asked, "You are...?"

Li Banfeng frowned and said, "You really don't recognize me?"

The old man's cheeks twitched, then he smiled, "You've seen me before? Then there's no need for further explanation. It's about time I made my move."

Li Banfeng touched the ground with his toes and took off running!

The old man hovered in mid-air, relentlessly pursuing him.

Wow, that's fast! Is this old man also Travel Cultivator?

"The mountain road is difficult to walk on, here's a walking stick for you!" The old man threw a tree branch at Li Banfeng.

Li Banfeng quickly dodged, and the branch stuck in the ground, not touching Li Banfeng.

The old man called out again, "Since you're in such a hurry to leave, I'll see you off a little further!"

A strange force surged from beneath his feet. This time, having learned from experience, Li Banfeng, before his feet left the ground, used a single move Trample Ten Thousand Rivers shatter the source of the force.

"You've been running so hard, let me wipe your sweat!"

A gentle breeze blew, drying the sweat on Li Banfeng's face.

"Stop!" the old man shouted, and Li Banfeng stopped in place like a statue.

It just stopped like that; my legs stopped completely out of my control.

The old man hovered in front of Li Banfeng, his expression serious, and said, "Listen carefully to me. You have accepted my offerings three times, and now it is my turn to take back my reward. You stand still and do not move. This is the first reward."

What's the meaning?

What is meant by "three contributions"?

When did I accept his offerings?

The old man asked first, "I'll ask you some questions; this is the second payment. You must answer truthfully. You just said you know me; when was that?"

Li Banfeng didn't want to speak, but his mouth opened uncontrollably.

As the breath caught in his throat, Li Banfeng struggled to hold back and finally told the truth:

"I don't know you, I'm just asking if you know me."

The old man's cheek twitched again. "You little rascal, you're trying to trick me. I'll ask you one more question: what's your relationship with Meng Yuchun?"

Li Banfeng once again blurted out the truth. "I was clearing land on her territory, and that's all we have to do with each other."

The old man nodded and said, "Then you're useless, so we don't need to keep you around."

Li Banfeng's mind raced as he tried to figure out how to escape.

His feet were out of control, and he couldn't use his Travel Cultivator techniques.

Even if I could open the door now with my key, I wouldn't be able to move or go back.

We need to find a way to break his techniques, otherwise we're doomed.

What Shut-in Cultivation Technique are available?

Is your Homesickness Like An Arrow set on returning home?

I tried, but I still can't move my legs.

Where is the magic weapon?

How about letting the projector act as a helper?

The projector is too slow; I'm afraid I'll be dead before my help even arrives.

With a pistol?

What if it doesn't work?

Tang Blade?

This old man's cultivation level is clearly above mine, and by more than one level. Tang Blade's combat power is limited, and it's highly unlikely that I can hurt him.

What other magical artifacts can be used?

The old man, who was thinking about how to kill Li Banfeng, said, "I'll burn you, so I don't have to collect your body. This is the third payment. You're not allowed to put out the fire."

No fire extinguishing allowed?

You can't just say no and then you can't?

That's quite possible.

He said I couldn't leave, so I couldn't leave.

He told me to tell the truth, so I had to tell the truth.

This is his technique.

This technique is so powerful, why didn't he use it sooner?

Three acts of dedication?

Equal pay for equal contributions is a rule he must abide by.

Li Banfeng quickly lowered his head and hugged his head tightly with both arms.

Will this be able to stop the fire?

The old man chuckled, and a ball of flame instantly enveloped Li Banfeng.

The flames clung to Li Banfeng's body, rolling up and down.

Li Banfeng's clothes didn't burn, his magical artifacts didn't burn, and even his hair didn't burn.

The old man was taken aback, wondering what kind of method this was.

This is the sixth level of House Cultivator skills, and Benevolent Dwelling Heart!

Imagine yourself Portable Abode, capable of withstanding fatal attacks.

With its Portable Abode fireproof design, Li Banfeng is not afraid of burning!

The old man drew a short knife from his waist, intending to kill Li Banfeng.

Li Banfeng shouted, "Three acts of service, three payments—are you trying to take advantage?"

Was I taking advantage of him?

The old man hesitated for a moment, then extinguished the flames, shook his head, and said, "I was going to burn you, but I failed. So the reward isn't repaid, and I'm not taking advantage of you."

Is he trying to reason with me?

Why should I reason with you?

He felt it wasn't a matter of gaining an advantage; he should just take action directly. Why bother explaining things clearly?

The old man's knife was about to strike.

The Benevolent Dwelling Heart can only be used once, Li Banfeng has to find a way to counter it.

Tang Blade leaped up, desperately trying to block the old man's short sword.

The old man shouted, "Don't resist!"

The Tang Blade clattered to the ground.

Even my magical artifacts are under his control?

The Wine Gourd jumped up, about to spray wine into the old man's eyes, but the old man shouted, "You're not allowed to fight back until the third payment is returned!"

The Wine Gourd really couldn't spray out any wine.

What kind of gate is this?

Such powerful technique?

With such formidable skills and such speed, why would he still use a knife to kill someone?

He must have a weakness, but what exactly is it?

Li Banfeng suddenly felt something vibrating in his arms; his Pocket Watch was constantly moving.

Dream Virtue?

What does she want to do?

Li Banfeng pulled the stem of his watch, and a calendar poster quickly appeared in front of him.

As the dagger came crashing down, Dream Virtue shouted, "You shameless old bastard, where did you get your three sacrifices from?"

The old man paused for a moment, then chuckled, "What's there to ask?"

Dream Virtue shouted, "Why are you asking for payment if you don't explain things clearly?"

Li Banfeng suddenly felt that his legs were a little loose.

This means the old man's technique has become less refined.

Let's be reasonable!

He has to be reasonable!

Reasoning is key!

The old man nodded and said, "Alright, I'll explain the three acts of sacrifice. He almost encountered the Wounded Demon Fiend, and I saved his life; that's one act of sacrifice."

When he ran away, I used techniques to drag him along the way; this was my second act of devotion.

He was covered in sweat from running, and I wiped it off for him. This was his third act of service.

I've made myself clear, what else do you have to say?

Dream Virtue didn't speak; she couldn't think of anything to say at the moment. These three acts of devotion were indeed made perfectly clear.

The previously loose legs tightened again, and the old man's technique was reinforced.

The old man raised the knife again, and Li Banfeng suddenly shouted, "Is what I've encountered really the Wounded Demon Fiend?"

The old man remained silent for a moment without answering.

Dream Virtue shouted, "Shameless Old Thief! You lied and cheated, and you still dare to ask for payment!"

Cultivate virtue and skills; Seeing Virtue, Think of Equaling It.

The old man felt a little guilty, because what Li Banfeng had encountered before was not the Wounded Demon Fiend.

Li Banfeng moved his knee, and his right leg could move again!

The old man's arm trembled slightly; he was experiencing a backlash from some kind of force.

PS: If you encounter a deaf person who can't hear the old man speaking, can you avoid the old man's techniques?

Is there really such a good thing?
