Li Banfeng put down the Oil Pot, sat on the edge of the bed, and carefully considered the question his Wife had raised.

This is a very important question: what should be done about the contract with the Bei Wushuang?

Should we send it back to Bei Wushuang's residence?

Not to mention that it was difficult to get into Bei Wushuang's residence, even if you got in and put the contract in place, it would still benefit Pan Dehai in the end.

What will be the consequences if Pan Dehai takes the contract?

If he wants this land, he can stay here and become Local Earth God, that's fine too.

But Pan Dehai has his own territory; he is the Proper Land Local Earth God. How could he possibly be interested in such a remote new place?

He got the contract, and will most likely be sent to Inner State to exchange for his lifespan.

If the Inner State gets its hands on this deed, some previously overlooked issues will likely come to the forefront.

"My Wife, I might as well keep this contract with me and use it when I need it. What do you think?"

"It's fine for you, but there might be some trouble in the area where Bei Wushuang. Demon Monster might appear there."

"What is Demon Monster?"

"They are monsters with extremely high cultivation and combat power, but who have little humanity."

The new earth generates cultivation power day and night, but this power is not generated evenly.

In some places, it might take eight or ten years to produce even the slightest bit of cultivation, while in other places, the cultivation that arises can allow Strange Monsters to advance several levels in just a few months or even a few days.

If such cultivation were to fall into the hands of a Strange Monsters, that Strange Monsters should theoretically die instantly, because its body could not withstand the advancement in cultivation.

However, if one encounters an exceptionally powerful Strange Monsters, and survives this ordeal, their cultivation will surge, but their humanity will not; they will become Demon Monster.

"Are Demon Monster similar to Wandering Monster?"

"They are far more ferocious than the Wandering Monster. The Wandering Monster have humanity, while the Demon Monster monsters have very little humanity and are completely unruly, even daring to commit evil in the Proper Land."

A monster that dares to commit evil in the Proper Land?

Li Banfeng had been in Pro State for a year and a half and had never heard of anything like it.

"My Wife, do all unclaimed lands without Local Earth God breed Demon Monster?"

"My lord, unclaimed land means there is no Local Earth God. The absence of Local Earth God and the absence of a contract are two different things."

Some Local Earth God have died, but their deeds remain within the territory. These deeds will gather the spiritual energy of the new land and be stored within the Local Earth Seal.

The Local Earth Seal has a huge capacity, enough to store decades' worth of cultivation. If other Local Earth God take over a new territory in the future, as long as the cultivation from the Local Earth Seal is evenly distributed among the Strange Monsters within its boundaries, there won't be any instances of cultivation levels skyrocketing.

My lord, if you take the Bei Wushuang Local Earth Seal directly away, the cultivation here will be unrestrained, and Demon Monster may breed.

Moreover, many Strange Monsters will come here to make a living, since there are no restrictions on acquiring cultivation here; it's all about the survival of the fittest.

This won't work.

The probability of it forming Demon Monster is low, so let's not consider that for now.

However, if too many Strange Monsters gather here, the news of the unearthed contract will spread, and if the Inner State pays attention to this area, some things will be exposed.

After some time, once Pan Dehai had stopped paying attention to Bei Wushuang, he would find another opportunity to bury the contract back.

Li Banfeng was talking to his Wife when he suddenly heard a sobbing sound beside him.

They are Thread-Pulling Earring.

"Why are you crying?" Li Banfeng asked several times, Thread-Pulling Earring did not answer, only sobbing.

The record player sensed something was wrong and asked Li Banfeng to take off the earrings, place them on the tray, and examine them carefully for a moment.

No matter who calls, the Thread-Pulling Earring do not respond.

The record player sighed and said, "This girl was injured by the Sound Cultivation Technique. She can't hear anymore. This technique is called Blood Splatter Roaring Sound, and the Thread Piercing Technique is the one that prying cultivators fear the most."

Upon mentioning Sound Cultivation Technique, Li Banfeng recalled something, "When I was fighting Bei Wushuang, I suddenly heard a loud bang, my vision blurred, and my hearing went deaf. Luckily, I heard my Wife's voice, which brought me back to my senses. Did my Wife save me?"

Huff!

The Wife Little Slave and said, "It was precisely because I heard that loud noise that I realized someone had used Sound Cultivation Technique."

"I was worried that you might get hurt, my Little Slave. Our household knows where you are, so we used the steam whistle to send Little Slave song over."

Li Banfeng embraced his Wife, pressing his face against the front counter, and said, "Thank you for saving me, my Wife."

"Why are you thanking your own woman? It makes even Little Slave feel distant."

My lord, let Little Slave rest with me for a while. We'll see how well she recovers, and given my skills and Little Slave's destiny...

Little Slave also prepared a few pills to give to her friends outside. Anyone afflicted with the Blood Splatter Roaring Sound can use these pills to neutralize it.

Li Banfeng nodded and left Portable Abode.

Upon arriving at Zhang Wanlong and Genzi's territory, Li Banfeng first thanked them for their previous help, and then inquired about the price.

Li Banfeng never asks people to do things for free. Zhang Wanlong just helped a lot, so he should be rewarded accordingly.

Zhang Wanlong held a cucumber in his hand, eating as he said, "Seventh Master, you're too kind. I was just testing the new seeds to see what would grow. I really don't know what's going on here."

What a smart person.

He wasn't unaware of the situation; he simply didn't want to get involved in unnecessary conflicts.

Li Banfeng looked at the Land Block, which was densely packed with various crops, making it almost impossible to find a place to stand.

"The things you grow are particularly good. Tomorrow I'll discuss with Miss Meng and let you open up another three miles of land."

Zhang Wanlong laughed and said, "I told you before that we dare not expand our territory too much because it won't attract people and we're afraid of causing trouble for the Local Earth God."

"It's not a big deal. It depends on the Local Earth God's wishes. As long as the Local Earth God agrees, you should hurry up and clear the land in the next few days."

Zhang Wanlong thanked him repeatedly. Li Banfeng then summoned Genzi and gave him ten Mystic Scarlet Pills. This was not only for the Golden Juice, but also because Genzi had been dealing with Zhang Wanlong, and Li Banfeng had to provide him with sufficient protection.

Genzi still suffers from tinnitus, so Li Banfeng gave him a pill to relieve the Blood Splatter Roaring Sound: "Take this and your ears will be fine. Brother Zhang, you should take one too."

"Seventh Master, I don't need this." Zhang Wanlong also heard the Blood Splatter Roaring Sound, but he wasn't too affected.

He picked a cucumber, washed it with water, and handed it to Li Banfeng: "Seventh Master, please try it, it's crisp and sweet."

Li Banfeng picked up the cucumbers but didn't eat them.

The fake Bei Wushuang is made of cucumber. Pan Dehai once said that it is impossible to create a new species with the power of a Daoist sect.

Li Banfeng now has serious doubts about this statement, questioning whether what Zhang Wanlong cultivated can be considered a new species.

Upon arriving at He Yuxiu's territory, Li Banfeng took out twenty Mystic Scarlet Pill.

He Yuxiu waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "Seventh Brother, you're looking down on me. It's only right and proper for me to help you. Why are we arguing about this?"

Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "Even between siblings, accounts must be settled clearly. Accept it."

He Yuxiu examined the quality of the pills. "Seventh Brother, this is a good thing, but I can't use it."

Mystic Scarlet Pill is indeed precious, and He Yuxiu has consumed quite a few of it before.

Having reached this level and age, He Yuxiu no longer takes Mystic Scarlet Pill. The Pill Poison is too great and difficult to clear, and she can't handle taking too much.

"If you don't want to eat it, you can leave it for someone close to you."

He Yuxiu looked at the You Tao. She was squatting next to the wooden house, her face pale, still recovering from the trauma of the Blood Splatter Roaring Sound.

Li Banfeng then gave He Yuxiu two more pills. "This medicine can neutralize the techniques of voice cultivation."

He Yuxiu waved her hand. "It was just one sound, I don't need to take my medicine yet, let's leave it all for that girl."

"Seventh Brother, when can we go back to Green Water City? I want to broaden this girl's horizons, so she won't just be thinking about polishing mirrors all the time."

Li Banfeng smiled and said, "It will be soon."

"Seventh Brother, is that camel Local Earth God?"

"Yes." Li Banfeng did not hide anything.

Do you know where his contract is?

"It should still be at his place. Why are you concerned about this?"

He Yuxiu said, "If you hand over the contract with the Local Earth God to the Inner State, you can exchange it for a hundred years of life."

Back then, my father invested almost the entire He Family fortune to buy a Local Earth God deed, only to find out upon delivery in Inner State that the deed was fake.

My father was furious. He risked everything he had left and used all the connections the He Family had to reclaim the family business.

At the time, I couldn't understand how my father could be fooled about this, but now that I think about it, it was a hundred years of lifespan! No one could stop it if it were presented to them.

Li Banfeng had known for a long time that a contract could be exchanged for a hundred years of life in the Inner State.

But new land without deeds will breed Demon Monster. And the Inner State is deliberately offering high prices to buy deeds. Is this creating favorable conditions for Demon Monster to breed?

Li Banfeng asked He Yuxiu, "How did your father get to Inner State?"

"Yes, you can get Travel Permit from the Guanfang Envoy. Wealthy families all have Travel Permit to the Inner State, but these Travel Permit are much harder to Travel Permit than those to the Outer State."

The road to the Inner State was also controlled by the Guanfang Envoy.

When they arrived at Meng Yuchun's residence, Meng Yuchun was still dazed and had not fully recovered. If it were her to fight Bei Wushuang one-on -Bei Wushuang today, no matter what method she used, she would have little chance of winning.

Meng Yuchun asked, "What about Bei Wushuang?"

"His whereabouts are unknown; Pan Dehai went after him." It wasn't that Li Banfeng didn't want to tell the truth, but if Meng Yuchun knew some things, it would be bad for her.

Meng Yuchun sighed, "Let's hope Pan Dehai takes care of this bastard, otherwise there will never be peace in this place."

Don't let Pan Dehai come here again. That old man is disgusting...

When Pan Dehai was mentioned, Meng Yuchun couldn't help but vomit.

Li Banfeng blinked. No matter how bad Pan Dehai was, he couldn't possibly be that disgusting.

"Take this pill first. It can break the techniques of sound cultivation. There's nothing we can do about virtue cultivation for now. You'll have to work on it yourself."

Meng Yuchun pushed the pills aside, her face flushed with anger, and said, "Who wants your medicine? Explain yourself first: why did you write on my peaches?"

"The situation was special at the time, and I was afraid that the news would leak out."

"Can't you find anywhere else?"

"Nowhere else is suitable; Pan Dehai is watching over us."

Meng Yuchun blushed and said, "Knowing that people were watching, you still dared to attack me. You're getting bolder and bolder!"

Li Banfeng smiled and said, "I'll need your help with things in my territory."

Meng Yuchun nodded. "It's nothing serious."

"Also, have the cooks and the others gather more information about Bei Wushuang. We'll discuss it together if anything comes up."

Five days later, the cook learned that Bei Wushuang. No one knew where he had buried the contract. Pan Dehai searched for three whole days but could not find it. He then left with Gao Shuxia and Hundred-Eyed Fish.

Li Banfeng asked, "Is the information reliable?"

The cook was very confident. "This friend has Bei Wushuang's side for many years, and he has witnessed these things with his own eyes."

Pan Dehai did not find Bei Wushuang. He saw blood and flesh all over the ground, but he had no way of verifying whether it was the complete Bei Wushuang.

Meng Yuchun was somewhat confused. "Why did Pan Dehai take Gao Shuxia and Hundred-Eyed Fish away?"

Li Banfeng said, "Those two young ladies are very beautiful. The Great Virtuous Person might be going to take a concubine."

Three days later, Pan Dehai did not return. Li Banfeng buried the Bei Wushuang contract on Bei Wushuang's territory and, following the method taught to him by his Wife, stored the Local Earth Seal imprinted on his own Local Earth Seal.

Cultivation level is a hard currency; for Strange Monsters creatures, it's the most valuable thing.

Two days later, the station was completed.

Li Banfeng walked out of Portable Abode and could clearly see the platform and the roof, but he could not see the tracks and the train.

The station is small and has a very rustic style, but the workmanship is exquisite. The earthen mounds are very smooth, and if you don't look closely, they are no different from stone.

About twenty meters from the train door, the platform disappeared. Walking back to where the train door was, and waiting a moment, the station reappeared.

The process of Portable Abode permit is called ticket verification.

"Riding without a ticket will be severely punished!" Portable Abode Ju emphasized again.

Over the phone, Luo ZhengNan delivered a message: the Guanfang Envoy) intended to acquire the Bai Le Men, and the Chu family had already agreed. They were currently waiting for the Lu Family's reply.

Did the Chu family agree?

Did Boss Chu agree, or did Chu Er agree?

Li Banfeng didn't care about the Chu family's attitude, but half of the Bai Le Men belonged to the Lu Family, Guanfang Envoy's move was a warning to the Lu Family.

Luo ZhengNan also said, "The Guanfang Envoy was also somewhat interested in the book and newspaper business in Black Stone Slope."

This is a warning to Li Qi and Ma Wu.

Li Banfeng changed into his familiar black suit, put on a black top hat, put away his keys, lowered the brim of his hat, and left his Hundred Miles territory, heading towards Green Water City.

P. S.: Let's see who can't take a beating first.
