Shut-in Cultivator Eighth Layer Skill

Li Banfeng knew that learning techniques across different levels was very dangerous, but the technique of Close Doors and Windows was very important to Li Banfeng.

It's not that the technique itself is so important, but rather that the Close Doors and Windows principle of the technique, in Li Banfeng's view, has certain similarities to the border lines in various places.

At Li Banfeng's urging, Meng Yuchun, considering the bigger picture, explained the principles of the technique to Li Banfeng: "After the House Cultivator to the eighth level, first sprinkle blood around the house. Generally, sprinkle it in four places, and connecting the four points will determine the shape of the boundary. Some people only sprinkle it in three places, which makes the technique easier to form. Others sprinkle it in six places, which makes the boundary line more neat. In short, it depends on the different people's methods."

The blood was used to define the location and shape of the boundary.

Li Banfeng asked, "After splattering blood, can you then use techniques to illuminate the boundary?"

"That won't do," Meng Yuchun shook her head. "We need to use the power of the dwelling to make the dwelling and the bloodstains resonate. This step is the most difficult. It usually takes several months to stay indoors and work in harmony with the dwelling to light up the boundary. For those lacking talent, it can even take several years."

After success, the bloodstains become connected to the house. Whenever the House Cultivator performs a technique inside the house or nearby, the boundary is triggered, acting like multiple layers of gates to protect both the house and the House Cultivator.

As the connection between the house and the bloodstains deepens, the boundary can expand outwards. For those lacking talent, the boundary remains close to their own house; for those with exceptional talent, the boundary can extend several miles away as their cultivation level increases.

At this point, Meng Yuchun appeared slightly pleased, which shows that she has a certain talent for the technique of Close Doors and Windows.

Li Banfeng asked, "You often say you want to seal off the territory, which means you can extend the boundary to the entire Hundred Li Land?"

Meng Yuchun's expression was not good; this question was about exposing her past.

"I really don't want to pry into your techniques. We're about to go to war, and we need to be fully prepared and ready before we fight. I need to know at least how far your techniques can be extended..." Li Banfeng appealed to his emotions and reasoned with him again, and Meng Yuchun told the truth.

"My techniques can only extend to a distance of twenty miles at most, which cannot cover my territory. The claim that I can blockade the territory is just to intimidate the enemy."

Meng Yuchun may seem simple-minded, but she can be quite boastful.

However, the power of this technique is already astonishing, as it can extend the boundary line more than twenty miles away.

The key to the technique lies in splattering blood around the house, which is quite difficult for Li Banfeng.

He couldn't define the concept of Portable Abode around him.

More importantly, it Portable Abode.

Li Banfeng pondered for a moment and asked, "If you change houses, what about the blood shed around the previous houses?"

"It's no use anymore," Meng Yuchun replied. "After the Ninth to Tenth Stage, I went to Inner State. The house in Pro State was abandoned, and the Home Spirit was killed by the people of Inner State."

Once I reach the Cloud Above First Layer and become the Local Earth God in this new land, the house will need to be rebuilt, the Home Spirit will need to be found again, and the act of shedding blood will naturally have to start all over again.

Speaking of this, I still feel regretful. If I hadn't moved houses and had continued using the bloodstains around my house, my boundary would probably have extended over thirty miles.

After moving to a new house, they gradually expanded from the area around the old house, but now even twenty li (approximately 10 kilometers) is a stretch.

Li Banfeng said, "You've already reached the Cloud Above First Layer of cultivation, yet after changing residences and shedding blood, you still have to expand outwards little by little from the area around the residence?"

Meng Yuchun said, "This has nothing to do with cultivation level. The connection between the house and the bloodstains takes time, and no matter how high your cultivation level is, you can't skip this process."

The Shut-in Cultivator Eighth Layer Skill is completed by the house itself and the bloodstains.

Blood was spilled around the house, and over time, a boundary was formed between the house and the bloodstains.

The Portable Abode is constantly moving; where am I supposed to spill my blood?

It's not appropriate to spill it anywhere.

Once I left Portable Abode, I couldn't see Portable Abode at all.

I have no idea where Portable Abode is.

Even if Portable Abode tells me where he is, even if I splatter blood around him, how could I possibly stay indoors for months and make him sense the bloodstains?

I am Travel Cultivator; I have to travel everywhere. If I stay at home for several months, I will die.

Even if you risk your life and suffer the backlash of your cultivation, what's the point of staying in your Portable Abode and successfully lighting up the boundary?

When I left, Portable Abode followed me, but the bloodstains remained in the same place, all in vain...

Li Banfeng thought about it several times and realized one thing: he had no chance of learning the eighth level of the technique.

This is the problem of incompatibility between home and travel; even with Portable Abode, this problem remains unsolved.

Seeing Li Banfeng's somewhat melancholy expression, Meng Yuchun asked, "What are you worried about?"

Li Banfeng changed the subject, saying, "I originally thought your skills could protect my territory, but now it seems you're even having trouble protecting yourself."

Meng Yuchun looked ashamed. "Now we can only hope that their fierce battle will not extend to our territory."

For Li Banfeng, this matter cannot be resolved simply by guarding the territory.

Based on common sense, the local Local Earth God in remote areas are generally at least Cloud Above First Layer in terms of cultivation.

Pan Dehai is Proper Land Local Earth God, and his cultivation level should be at the Third Layer Above the Clouds.

Bei Wushuang is far weaker than Pan Dehai in terms of strength. If the two were to fight, Pan Dehai would likely kill Bei Wushuang.

After killing Bei Wushuang, Pan Dehai will likely dig up his contract.

After discovering the contract, what will Pan Dehai do with it?

If Pan Dehai gives this contract to Inner State in exchange for his lifespan, Inner State will see the record in the contract of the war between Bei Wushuang and Mountain Pulling Master.

By comparison, Inner State might notice that the two contracts record the same war differently; in the other contract, the name of Mountain Pulling Master has been changed to Li Furong.

At this point, the whole thing was exposed.

From Li Banfeng's perspective, it's best not to let Pan Dehai win this war.

Shouldn't we give some help to Bei Wushuang?

Joke!

Li Banfeng one of the culprits Bei Wushuang the Insect Plague caused by Bei Wushuang. How could he possibly help this bastard!

This was his third time participating in the war of the Local Earth God. Unlike the previous two times, he had previously served as an assistant to the Local Earth God in their battles.

This time, he is to participate in the battle as Local Earth God, but Li Banfeng is still unsure how to fight this battle.

There is still too little information.

But from whom can one obtain information at this level?

Old Xu should know some inside information; he could go to Medicine King Gully to ask.

Or perhaps we could have Ma Wu ask Feng Daiku for information.

The wooden house was built, He Yuxiu was scolding You Tao inside. "Why did you keep snuggling up to me last night when you were sleeping?"

The You Tao looked completely innocent and said, "I'm afraid of the cold."

"Didn't I give you both blankets? Why are you still squeezing yourself against me?"

"I'm worried you'll be cold," said You Tao with concern.

He Yuxiu was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said, "Taozi, don't think I don't know you're a mirror polisher."

You Tao lowered her head and bit her lip.

"Don't be afraid," He Yuxiu lit a cigarette and put it in You Tao's mouth. "I've seen everything, I've even done mirror polishing before. It's okay for me to polish mirrors with you occasionally, but I really don't like this. I like men."

With a blush, You Tao said, "Actually, there are some men I like too."

He Yuxiu laughed, "You're not that old, but you've got some serious tricks up your sleeve. You can do anything, tall or short?"

The You Tao blushed and said, "It depends on who you're talking to."

He Yuxiu nodded. "Joy Cultivator should have this kind of spirit. After the storm passes, I will take you to Green Water City. As long as you like him, just go for it, regardless of whether he is male or female."

"Thank you, sister," You Tao said gratefully, but the smile on her face gradually faded. "It's just... I feel like what we're doing isn't right."

He Yuxiu was taken aback. "What did you say was wrong?"

You Tao's expression grew increasingly serious, her stammering becoming more and more indistinct. "I... I feel that I can't do this, it's too... too shameless."

"Yuchun, aren't we being a little too shameless?" Yellow Butterfly pushed Meng Yuchun away and crawled out of bed.

Meng Yuchun was taken aback. "What did you just say?"

Red Butterfly also crawled out of bed. "Yuchun, I think she's right. We're all women, what kind of image do we have doing this kind of thing all day long?"

Meng Yuchun looked at the Yellow Butterfly and Red Butterfly in surprise, and then felt a touch of emotion in her heart.

People from her territory have come.

Li Banfeng took a tour of Meng Yuchun's territory and even made a special trip to check on his own three-mile Land Block.

The toad managed the entire Land Block very well, and the Mountain Wolf and eagle also contributed a lot of effort.

The house was poorly constructed. Li Banfeng hired a group of aardvarks as workers, and they built the house underground.

Underground is fine too. These aardvarks have excellent Work Method and good ventilation. New ground is naturally dark, and there's only a little bit of daylight from above. So there's not much difference between above-ground and underground.

Li Banfeng was very satisfied with the Land Block and took out a lot of Mystic Scarlet Pill to begin rewarding those who had contributed.

Unexpectedly, these people refused the elixir.

The toad lowered its head and said, "Master, I am ashamed to take this elixir; I have failed in my duty."

Li Banfeng was taken aback. "How could you say you didn't do your best? Everything's fine at home, isn't it?"

The toad sighed and said, "A group of Two-Faced Sheep came before and almost ate all the grass on our land. I tried to persuade them to leave, but they wouldn't listen. They outnumbered us, so I didn't dare to fight them."

Li Banfeng laughed and said, "What's the big deal? What sheep doesn't eat grass? New grass will grow next year, so there's no use for me keeping so much grass."

The toad shook its head and said, "Whether it's useful or not depends on the master's orders. I was wrong in this matter, and I dare not accept the master's reward."

The Mountain Wolf chimed in, "This isn't the toad steward's fault, it's my fault. I'm the Big Support, I shouldn't have let these Two-Faced Sheep into the master's territory. I have no face to stay here."

The eagle also spoke up, "I'm Big Support too. I saw these Two-Faced Sheep coming from afar. If I had given them a heads-up, I might have been able to chase them away beforehand. But that day, my wife insisted on doing... you know..."

The female eagle kicked the male eagle, saying, "Why do you tell everyone everything?"

The eagle roared, "Can't I say it? Did I say something wrong? You shameless woman, all you do is pester me every day. You even did it with me twice just now. I feel so ashamed just thinking about it."

What's wrong?

The grass on the land was eaten by sheep. Such a small thing, yet it caused such a big commotion.

Li Banfeng's eyes darted around, and he said to everyone, "You should all take these pills."

"Sir, we cannot accept it."

"If you don't accept it, it will be considered disloyalty. Accept it immediately and then hide in my house."

The toad shook his head and said, "No, this is the master's house. How can we servants just go in like that?"

"If I tell you to go, then go now! Don't come out without my orders!"

The group of people hid in Li Banfeng's underground mansion.

Li Banfeng activated his Golden Eyes Autumn Down Technique and, relying on the footsteps of the Travel Cultivator, began searching Meng Yuchun's territory.

Walking under a tree, an old man wearing Small Round Hat, round-framed glasses, and a mustache, looking like a remnant of the Former Dynasty, smiled at Li Banfeng and said, "Li Qi, it's been a long time. I'm a few years older than you, yet you don't even bow to me?"

Pan Dehai has arrived.

Li Banfeng really wanted to bow to Pan Dehai, but he managed to restrain himself.

He found an excuse to convince himself. "I will not bow to the immoral."

"You're saying I'm immoral?" Pan Dehai was taken aback. "What makes you say that?"

"You were peeping at a couple having sex, that's immoral!" Li Banfeng was referring to the Mountain Eagle couple.

Pan Dehai denied it, saying, "I didn't see it!"

"Didn't you see why they felt ashamed?"

"They should be ashamed for doing that kind of thing in broad daylight."

"What did they do? How do you know? You dare say you didn't see it? You shameless old man!"

Pan Dehai stared wide-eyed at Li Banfeng, speechless for a long time.

P. S.: Polishing a mirror is a term that everyone understands, so I won't explain it further.
