Auspiciousness and Avoiding Calamity

A first-layer Travel Cultivator has two techniques, Li Banfeng really hadn't expected that.

Li Banfeng was startled, "Auspiciousness and Avoiding Calamity, how is this technique used?"

The coachman didn't speak, only lowered his head and pulled the carriage.

Li Banfeng wanted to ask more, but suddenly felt a chill and couldn't help but shiver.

In his subconscious, Li Banfeng felt an inexplicable fear.

He felt that if he asked one more question, he would die by the coachman's hand.

The coachman turned his head and asked, "Are you scared?"

Li Banfeng nodded, "I'm scared."

The coachman smiled, "I just had killing intent towards you. Don't worry, I didn't really want to kill you, just help you test the technique.

Auspiciousness and Avoiding Calamity is the simplest technique. You came to ride my carriage today, that's called seeking auspiciousness.

Feeling flustered, trembling hands, shivering, getting goosebumps, these can all be signs of danger. When you encounter such situations, you must avoid them, that's called avoiding calamity.

The technique is very easy, but some people still don't use it properly, especially those who are careless and never take these small matters to heart.

Travel Cultivators travel through thousands of mountains and across ten thousand waters, their minds must be meticulous. Every step they take, they must weigh their own life."

This technique greatly surprised Li Banfeng, "As long as they encounter danger, Travel Cultivators can definitely sense it?"

The coachman shook his head, "How could there be such a good thing? It depends on cultivation, on magic treasures, and also on the opponent's Dao Gate.

If the opponent's cultivation is two layers higher than yours, they can hide their ill intentions. If they want to harm you, you won't be able to sense it at all.

Or if the opponent has a magic treasure or technique that hides ill intentions, you still won't be able to sense it.

Some hidden places can conceal danger. If your cultivation isn't high enough, you won't be able to sense it either.

If you encounter a Shut-in Cultivator of the same layer, you won't be able to see any of the opponent's thoughts, and you won't be able to sense their ill intentions either."

Shut-in Cultivators can avoid others' attention, he didn't expect they could also hide their own malice.

A shut-in's thoughts truly cannot be guessed.

Wind rising from flat ground, Auspiciousness and Avoiding Calamity!

Li Banfeng learned a lot from the coachman, the five hundred yuan was well spent.

"Brother, hearing you say this, it seems Shut-in Cultivators have some restraint over us Travel Cultivators."

"It's more than just some restraint," the coachman smiled bitterly, "Let me put it this way, we usually have to avoid Shut-in Cultivators, and Shut-in Cultivators also have to avoid us. Once we fight with a Shut-in Cultivator of the same level, we must be determined to fight to the death.

If we enter a Shut-in Cultivator's abode, we will surely die. If we send a Shut-in Cultivator to a dangerous place, they will surely die.

I once encountered a Shut-in Cultivator and was about to be forced into his abode. I risked being severely beaten all the way, carried him, and rushed to the edge of a cliff.

We Travel Cultivators have stable footing, I could stand firm, but they Shut-in Cultivators couldn't, they couldn't stand firm and fell off the cliff to their death. That's how I won.

Don't think about stopping when it's enough on both sides, there's no such good thing. These two Dao Gates are natural enemies, whoever relaxes a little will lose their life!"

Li Banfeng seized the opportunity to ask, "Big Brother, do you know what techniques Shut-in Cultivators have?"

"Hard to say," the coachman shook his head. "Some Shut-in Cultivator techniques are the same, some are different. They're all hard to identify, that much is the same. But the Shut-in Cultivators I've encountered each have their own tricks.

Shut-in Cultivators are already uncommon, and the temperament of Home Spirits is impossible to deduce, so Shut-in Cultivators are very difficult to deal with. If you encounter one, try to avoid them."

Li Banfeng wanted to ask a few more questions, but suddenly saw the coachman stop. "We've arrived at the station. Take care."

Just like that, in a short while, they were at the station.

As he got out of the carriage, Li Banfeng asked one more question, "Besides generating wind on flat ground and Auspiciousness and Avoiding Calamity, do Travel Cultivators have other abilities?"

"Yes, there are plenty of abilities, but you've reached your destination."

Li Banfeng took out his wallet and said, "Pull me for a bit longer, or even if you don't pull me, just chat with me. I'll pay. Name your price."

The coachman smiled, "Save your money. Our connection for today ends here. If we're fated to meet again, I'll tell you slowly then."

After speaking, the coachman wiped his face with a towel and pulled the rickshaw away from the square in front of the station.

A few days ago, Li Banfeng had just walked out of the station, and now he was about to embark on a journey again, returning to Yue Province.

After going back, should he still visit He Jiaqing?

Who knew if the person lying in the hospital was really He Jiaqing?

Even if it was him, it would inevitably involve entanglement with the Dark Star Bureau. Li Banfeng hesitated, wondering if he should still bother with He Jiaqing's matter.

Let's buy the ticket first.

Once I return to Yue Province, I can...

I can find a place to move bricks.

Li Banfeng rubbed his forehead. What was so good about Yue Province anyway?

This station was very small, just a row of single-story buildings. The waiting hall was slightly taller, and next to it was the ticket office.

Following the coachman's instructions, Li Banfeng first controlled his hips, then his knees, followed by his ankles and toes.

The idea was correct, but the force, which was a bit thinner than a hemp rope, was hard to control. As Li Banfeng lifted his leg, his entire body quickly rushed into the ticket office.

Fortunately, there was no one in the ticket office. Li Banfeng stopped in time and came to the ticket counter.

The ticket agent was dozing and didn't notice Li Banfeng's abnormality. Li Banfeng called out several times, "Ticket!"

The ticket agent rubbed his eyes, yawned, and asked, "Where to?"

"Yue Province."

"Seat or sleeper?"

He definitely didn't want a seat. It had to be a sleeper, and it had to be a first-class sleeper!

The ticket agent prepared to print the ticket. "Train 1160, first-class sleeper is thirteen thousand. The next available train departs tomorrow night at nine."

Thirteen thousand!

So expensive!

Li Banfeng was stunned for a moment. He didn't have that much money on him; most of it was in his Portable Abode.

Just as he was thinking of going to his Portable Abode to get the money, he heard the ticket seller say, "Show your Travel Permit first."

"Travel Permit? What's that?" Li Banfeng was confused.

The ticket seller frowned and said, "Without a Travel Permit, how can you buy a train ticket?"

Why couldn't he buy a train ticket?

What kind of rules were these?

While Li Banfeng was still pondering the concept of a Travel Permit, a man wearing a Forward Hat walked into the ticket hall and silently watched Li Banfeng.

He had been waiting here for a long time.

His name was Chu Yunlong, the Big Nine (leader of the patrol team) under the Second Helmsman Patrol Wind Seat of the Jiang Xiang Gang Medicine King Hall.

The Sect Master was right; Li Banfeng would definitely come.

Chu Yunlong slowly walked towards Li Banfeng.

Li Banfeng was still arguing with the ticket seller: "I need a Travel Permit to take a train? Why don't you ask for a customs clearance document? Is this train going to the West to fetch scriptures?"

Li Banfeng was very angry, trembling with rage. He felt that the ticket seller was deliberately making things difficult for him.

"Have you ever taken a train? You don't even know this basic rule?" The ticket seller was also angry. In her opinion, Li Banfeng was being unreasonable.

While the two were arguing, Chu Yunlong got closer and closer to Li Banfeng.

He had his hands in his pockets, his face expressionless, as if he was going to queue behind Li Banfeng to buy a ticket.

In reality, as long as he could touch Li Banfeng, he would have a way to control him, make him reveal the whereabouts of the Copper Lotus, and then take Li Banfeng's life.

He was still seven or eight meters away from Li Banfeng, and the argument between Li Banfeng and the ticket seller grew louder.

"Why didn't I hear about any Travel Permit when I came? Why are there so many rules here?"

"I don't care where you came from. Without a Travel Permit, you can't buy a ticket. Talking to me about this is useless. These are the rules. Buy it if you want, or get lost if you don't!"

Good, keep arguing like this.

Chu Yunlong's mouth curved slightly upwards as he continued to approach Li Banfeng.

"What kind of rule is this? Show me your rules!" Li Banfeng roared loudly, his emotions somewhat out of control.

"Why should I show you? Who do you think you are?" The ticket seller was not backing down.

"If you don't show me the rules, it proves there are no rules. I'm going in now to get a ticket, and I'll see why you won't sell it to me!"

Chu Yunlong was already standing behind Li Banfeng, slowly reaching out his hand.

Argue, keep arguing, don't look back, just stay like this... Wait!

What's going on?

Chu Yunlong's hand didn't touch Li Banfeng.

Li Banfeng jumped onto the counter, intending to force his way into the ticket office!

The ticket seller was also stunned. "How dare you! Try coming in!"

Li Banfeng really intended to go in; he wasn't someone who would let himself be taken advantage of.

Chu Yunlong and the ticket seller shared a common thought at this moment: Is this person crazy?

Chu Yunlong couldn't make a move right now because Li Banfeng was on top of the counter.

The ticket seller quickly pulled the alarm bell, and a deafening ringing sound echoed through the ticket hall.

Li Banfeng didn't force his way into the ticket office anymore. He squatted on the counter, looked at Chu Yunlong behind him, and then looked at the main door of the ticket hall.

Two people in uniform rushed in from outside the ticket hall door. Li Banfeng didn't recognize them, but Chu Yunlong did.

These two were the station's constables.

The ticket seller pointed at Li Banfeng and shouted loudly, "He's here to steal tickets! He doesn't have a Travel Permit and is trying to sneak through!"

Without a word, the two constables charged towards Li Banfeng.

Chu Yunlong quickly got out of the way; he didn't want to get into trouble.

Li Banfeng jumped off the counter and looked at Chu Yunlong, saying, "Brother, hurry up and go! What are you standing around for?"

"No, well..." Chu Yunlong blinked, unsure of what to say at this moment.

Li Banfeng took off running. He was incredibly fast, breaking through the two constables' blockade and rushing out of the ticket hall in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, the two constables immediately went forward to surround Chu Yunlong.

Chu Yunlong licked his lips, looking at the constables charging towards him, unsure how to explain himself.
