A Mountain So Vast
Five days later, Liao Zihui looked at the sunset outside the window, picked up his teacup, and silently took a sip.
Secretary Ling Sujun walked in, her eyes deep-set and dark.
"General Envoy, should we maintain full preparedness for battle today?"
Liao Zihui pondered for a moment, then asked, "Have all the tea leaves been distributed?"
"It was sent out the day before yesterday."
"Was there any elixir mixed in?"
"It's been added, but the effect isn't obvious. Should we increase the dosage?"
Liao Zihui took another sip of tea. "Let's go home."
Ling Sujun bowed deeply to Liao Zihui, dared not ask another question, and turned to leave.
Liao Zihui put on his coat and, before leaving the office, glanced at his drawer, wondering if he should listen to the headset one more time.
He opened the drawer, hesitated for a moment, and then closed it.
As long as you listen to the headset, you will definitely hear Li Qi's voice.
Li Qi will definitely use some subtle method to express his idea of attacking the Guanfang Hall.
And because of something he said, I haven't been able to sleep all night.
No one knows Li Qi's true thoughts, but since they don't know, why make things difficult for themselves?
Let's just pretend this never happened.
Deputy General Envoy Xia Shumin, holding two tickets to Carefree Dock, waited at the office door. When he saw Liao Zihui come out, Xia Shumin quickly went to greet him.
"Your General Envoy, I heard you like Jiang Mengting's songs. There's a special performance by Jiang Mengting at Carefree Dock tonight. I bought you two tickets. You and your wife can relax there tonight."
Liao Zihui accepted the ticket and said with a smile, "Xia, you're in good spirits."
Xia Shumin laughed and said, "I used to be used to working long hours because there were so many urgent missions in the past."
Liao Zihui nodded. "Being young is good, being young is really good. My wife doesn't like Jiang Mengting, so how about we go to Carefree Dock tonight to listen to some songs?"
Xia Shumin waved his hand and said, "To be honest, I don't like this either. I went to a concert once when I was young. The place was too noisy and too far from the stage. I just followed a bunch of people shouting and couldn't even see the singers."
"You can see it here! The Song Festival in Pro State are different! There aren't many people in one venue, and there aren't any microphones or anything like that. You hear the original sound and see the original performance."
Let's go together. Let's have a couple of drinks and a meal at Carefree Dock first. It'll be about two hours before the show starts."
"Mengting, the Song Festival about to start, you can't be stubborn!" Manager Zhang of Carefree Dock was extremely anxious. The Song Festival about to start, but Jiang Mengting said that her throat was uncomfortable and she couldn't sing.
"You can hear how hoarse I am, how am I supposed to sing like this? You should put up a notice at the door saying it's rescheduled."
Manager Zhang said urgently, "Grandma, the tickets sold out a month in advance. You want me to reschedule now?"
"We'll smash the Carefree Dock signboard! I beg you, I'll kowtow to you, please just sing a couple of songs on stage, that would be enough to make amends."
Jiang Mengting refused to go on stage, so Manager Zhang quickly told Li Banfeng about it.
Li Banfeng accompanied Jiang Mengting to dinner and personally fed her Jiang Mengting and soothe her throat. Jiang Mengting recovered and was able to perform that evening.
Song Festival began, Li Banfeng sat down in the audience and looked up to see Liao Zihui in the second-floor private room.
Li Banfeng entered the private room and sat down next to Liao Zihui. Looking at his dark circles, he asked, "General Envoy Liao, you don't look well. Have you been staying up late these past few days?"
Liao Zihui laughed and said, "Yes, I've been thinking about you these past few days, hoping you could visit the Guanfang Hall."
You still haven't arrived.
Li Banfeng said, "Since you're so concerned about me, why don't you come to Carefree Dock to find me?"
Liao Zihui nodded. "I came to see you last time, and you didn't give me a friendly look again."
Xia Shumin, having discerned the situation, greeted him, "This must be Mr. Li?"
Li Banfeng looked at Xia Shumin and asked, "What's your name?"
Liao Zihui said, "This is the newly arrived General Envoy Xia."
Li Banfeng asked in surprise, "A new General Envoy has arrived? General Envoy Liao, have you retired?"
Liao Zihui sighed, "I've been looking forward to this day."
Li Banfeng looked at Xia Shumin and said, "Are you also looking forward to this day?"
"I didn't—" Xia Shumin took a breath. He wanted to say that he had no expectations, but he felt that it was inappropriate to say it that way.
Liao Zihui said, "These kinds of things are not usually easy to talk about in front of me. So, you two chat here, and I'll go downstairs to sit and listen to some music."
Li Banfeng was still a little embarrassed. "How could I ask you to change places? I 'General Envoy Xia alone. You definitely can't know about this."
Xia Shumin chuckled twice and said, "Mr. Li, you're joking. Let's just focus on listening to the song."
Li Banfeng really wanted to chat with them a bit more about retirement, but as he spoke, he suddenly felt a pang of heart palpitation—a feeling that seemed so familiar.
Someone is clearing the land!
He said goodbye, left the private room, and quickly returned to his room. He went into his Portable Abode and said to the old man, "Go to the train station, the one in my area."
A few minutes later, Li Banfeng borrowed all his imposing presence from Hong Ying, left his Portable Abode, arrived at his own territory, and walked towards the direction where he sensed the presence of the reclaimed land.
The first person to come into view was Cui Tike.
Li Banfeng immediately dismissed the idea of responding to the idea of clearing the land, as letting him clear the land would be a devastation to the Strange Monsters in the area.
But he wasn't the only one who came to reclaim the land. Li Banfeng counted, and there were fifteen people in total. Chu Huaiyuan was waiting for news in front of the offering table.
She came to clear the land?
I haven't seen her for the past few days. How did she end up in Xindi?
Li Banfeng took out the Judge's Brush and the projector. "A'Bi, fly me over there. A'Ji, give me some cover and put on some Local Earth God aura."
The projector was quickly ready. It used a cloud of black smoke to obscure Li Banfeng's figure and face, leaving only a cluster of green flames drifting and moving in the smoke.
All that's left is to fly. Li Banfeng said to the Judge's Brush's pen, "The stop time is limited, so hurry up."
"Hmph!" Judge's Brush let out a long sigh, stretched, and flew with Li Banfeng to the center of the Land Block. The projector chose its hiding place on its own, and Li Banfeng appeared in front of everyone in the form of clouds and mist.
Li Banfeng looked down at Chu Er and asked, "You want to start a new campaign?"
Chu Er was puzzled as to why the Local Earth God was not responding for so long, and thought there was a problem with the offerings.
Unexpectedly, the Local Earth God suddenly appeared, making the pioneers very nervous.
Chu Er respectfully replied, "Yes, I wish to expand my Land Block by three li in radius on your land."
"Why are you clearing land on my property?"
Why are you even asking about this?
Chu Er replied, "I came through a friend's introduction."
This is the truth. Chu Er was introduced by He Yuxiu, who said that this place was quiet and very suitable for Chu Er's cultivation.
Li Banfeng asked, "Have the people chosen for pioneering the land been selected?"
Chu Er answered truthfully, "All the pioneers are here."
Li Banfeng said, "Foreigners cannot reclaim land here."
Cui Tike, I never expected that the Local Earth God here would discriminate against foreigners.
Is this really Local Earth God?
That imposing presence is indeed quite intimidating.
Cui Tike replied, "Honorable God, I am not a pioneer, but a healer hired by the pioneers."
Behind Cui Tike were two other people, both healers.
If Cui Tike doesn't participate in the land reclamation, this matter is still negotiable.
Li Banfeng said to Chu Er, "You must specify the landlord's identity and the reclaimer's identity in the contract. After you have everything prepared, come and offer the tribute tomorrow."
After saying that, Li Banfeng disappeared.
Chu Er had some experience in land reclamation, but she didn't understand the Local Earth God and didn't dare to question it, so she could only rewrite the contract.
With the help of the Green Water Bow, Cui Tike had already reached the Ninth Layer of cultivation. He could sense that the Local Earth God from before was somewhat unreal, but he did not have much experience in pioneering, and he did not know what the Local Earth God should look like in this state.
Looking into the distance, he saw the territory of Zhang Wanlong and Little Genzi.
Intrigued that such lush crops could grow on such a remote new land, Cui Tike went to the field to take a look.
Zhang Wanlong walked over carrying a hoe, greeting him with a smile, "My foreign friend, can you understand me?"
"Yes!" Cui Tike nodded.
Are you here to buy groceries or fruits and vegetables?
Cui Tike stared at Zhang Wanlong, looking him up and down. "I'd like to buy some of everything."
When it was time to drive, Li Banfeng returned to Portable Abode, waited a few minutes, and then returned to Carefree Dock.
He handed over his business affairs to the steward, replenished his Portable Abode belongings, and immediately set off for the new land.
The land reclamation requires testing, which is not something that can be solved by simply stopping at the station; Li Banfeng had to make the trip himself.
Just as the Song Festival ended, the area in front of Carefree Dock was bustling with traffic. Li Banfeng pulled his hat down low and walked forward when he suddenly saw a man standing under a streetlamp staring at him with huge eyes, looking around.
Those eyes are so big.
If he had some spicy strips on hand, Li Banfeng would love to try making them within a five-meter radius to see if his skills had gotten rusty.
Isn't this Light Bulb?
When did he arrive in Pro State?
Li Banfeng stepped forward and stared at the Light Bulb for a moment.
Light Bulb at the bearded man in a black suit and top hat, Li Banfeng felt a surge of nervousness. He asked, "You're here to see me?"
"No, no." The Light Bulb turned its face to the other side.
Li Banfeng confirmed again. "I am Li Qi, you're really not here to see me?"
"No, it's not." The Light Bulb's voice grew softer and softer.
He came to find Li Qi; Xia Shumin's task for him was to monitor Li Qi.
The man in the black suit admitted that he was Li Qi. What does this mean for the Light Bulb?
This means the situation is not good.
If this person is not Li Qi, it means that the identity of the Light Bulb has been exposed, while he is still completely unaware of the other party's identity.
If this person is indeed Li Qi, it means that the Light Bulb is likely to die.
The Light Bulb, covered in oil, was preparing to escape.
Li Banfeng offered advice. "I'll find you a good place to escape to; most people won't be able to find you there."
"Huh?" The Light Bulb was taken aback.
Li Banfeng grabbed the Light Bulb and started running.
The Light Bulb had ridden in Xiao Zhengong's covered wagon before, and even when Xiao Zhengong floored the accelerator, it never reached this speed.
The two feet of the key Light Bulb couldn't support it, and it didn't have time to move around; it could only slide on the ground.
The oil film on its body hadn't dissipated yet, and the Light Bulb didn't know how to get away.
Li Banfeng reminded him, "Save some gas, put it on the soles of your feet, this road isn't short."
The Light Bulb didn't know how long it had been walking or how far it had gone. When it finally stopped, the oil on its body was all used up, the soles of its shoes were worn through, and snot and tears flowed out first, then dried in the wind, and then flowed out again, forming layers of hard armor on its face.
Sitting on the ground, Light Bulb gasped for breath for a long time, then burst into tears with a crooked mouth.
"Ooh~ Ahh~" The Light Bulb pointed at Li Banfeng, looked around, slapped his thighs several times, and couldn't speak for a long time.
Li Banfeng gave him a water bottle, two cans of food, and a piece of bread.
"This is new territory. There are many hunter camps nearby. If you can find a way out, you'll survive. If you can't, you'll be stuck here forever. Understand?"
The Light Bulb looked up at the bearded man, who was still sobbing.
Li Banfeng frowned and said, "Why are you crying? Meeting me is much better than meeting you!"
The Light Bulb couldn't understand what the bearded man meant, and Li Banfeng wasn't in the mood to explain it to him.
Watching the bearded man slowly walk away, Light Bulb didn't know whether he should follow him.
After much deliberation, he decided not to follow. The difference in strength between the two sides was too obvious, and taking another step with him could mean certain death.
After running all this way, the Light Bulb was indeed hungry.
He tore open the bread, stuffed it into his mouth in a few bites, and swallowed it with water.
He was about to eat a couple of bites of canned food when he suddenly felt a slimy feeling all over his body.
Is there an oil leak?
That shouldn't be the case; I've already used up all my oil.
The Light Bulb looked down and saw a patch of blood-red earth moving beneath it.
Why does land shift?
The Light Bulb looked back and gradually understood the current situation.
What was moving was not land, but a huge, blood-red worm.
Did I just sit on this bug?
It seems I'm still stuck on this bug—
He looked at the size of the worm; it was several times larger than the silkworm he had seen in the factory.
The Light Bulb seemed to want to cry again.
But he stopped crying and prepared to flee.
The next morning, Li Banfeng returned to his territory, while Chu Er set out offerings early, waiting for the Local Earth God's response.
Li Banfeng transformed into a black cloud and carefully examined the contract, confirming that Cui Tike and others were indeed not involved in land reclamation.
Li Banfeng lit up the Land Block.
With the land reclamation plan settled, the next step was the assessment. Li Banfeng returned to the Mountain Pulling Master's Residence.
They took the Local Earth Seal and went to find the Strange Monsters.
The Local Earth Seal carries the cultivation level of the region, which is the capital for hiring Strange Monsters.
Who should we hire?
To fly around the area and do some advertising?
No!
This kind of street hawking is rather low-class.
Post a notice?
How many of these Strange Monsters can understand the notice?
Not to mention, there is actually one literate among them who knows at least one word "".
Li Banfeng thought of the bull-headed man. Expecting him to understand the notice would be a bit difficult, but he should be able to handle the job of being a mouthpiece.
After walking around the area, Li Banfeng found the Minotaur in a forest, where he was playing chess with the Jujube Tree Monster.
The chess pieces are made of stone, and each person has their own chessboard.
The minotaur threw a stone at the jujube tree monster. "I'm firing!"
The jujube tree blocked the way with a chessboard, then threw a stone back at the tree. "I'll move my rook!"
The Minotaur charged headfirst into the jujube tree. "I'm advancing my pawn!"
Zao Shu stumbled a few steps, grabbed a wild horse from the side, and hurled it at the minotaur. "I'll jump off the horse!"
The minotaur was badly hit and threw down the chessboard, shouting, "I'll fly my elephant!"
The jujube tree chuckled, "You dare to fly like an elephant? If Master Qiu hears you, he'll kill you!"
The minotaur shouted, "If Master Qiu isn't here, I'm going to fly like an elephant!"
Just as he was about to look for the elephant, Li Banfeng manipulated the projector, the Judge's Brush, and the Wine Gourd, transforming them into a ball of green flame and appearing before the minotaur. "Where are you going?"
"I fly like an elephant—" The minotaur was stunned for a long time before asking, "Who are you?"
Li Banfeng said, "I am the Local Earth God of this land."
The minotaur sneered, "Another one posing as Local Earth God. Does Local Earth God look like this?"
Call!
A powerful aura swept over them, forcing the minotaur to take a few steps back.
Li Banfeng laughed and said, "You signed a contract with me back then, how come you don't recognize me anymore?"
The jujube tree, standing nearby, remarked, "Brother, that voice is just like that Local Earth God from back then!"
The minotaur lowered his head and asked, "What brings you here?"
Li Banfeng sighed and said, "If you haven't been to school, don't try to write this. Is this how you use the word 'visit'?"
The bull-headed man looked at the jujube tree.
The jujube tree snorted and said, "What use am I to you? I don't even know what a visit is."
Li Banfeng said, "I have a business opportunity for you. There are people clearing Land Block three miles east of the forest. Find some people to test them, and you will be rewarded afterwards."
Upon hearing this, the minotaur was delighted. "Let's discuss the price first. How much reward will you give for this three-mile area?"
How much is appropriate?
In the past, when He Yuxiu, Zhang Wanlong, and You Tao came to reclaim the wasteland, Meng Yuchun was the one who found the Strange Monsters to test them. Moreover, none of the Strange Monsters received a reward, and Li Banfeng really had no recollection of how much the reward should have been.
Now that the bull-headed man has asked, if Li Banfeng were to go find Meng Yuchun again, it would lower his status. After thinking for a moment, Li Banfeng said a price, "If I pass the test, I'll give you three months of cultivation."
The old jujube tree's branches trembled, and the bull-headed man asked, "Is three months the total, or does everyone get it?"
In terms of total numbers, three months is really a bit low.
But if everyone had one, who knows how many people this Old Cow would have to get? If he could only get a thousand or eight hundred people, Li Banfeng wouldn't be able to afford it, and Chu Er wouldn't be able to handle it either.
Li Banfeng said, "Everyone gets one, but the limit is ten people."
The minotaur nodded and said, "I'll go gather the men right away!"
The jujube tree shifted its body and said, "I'll go with you."
Seeing how proactive they were, Li Banfeng felt he had given too much.
How?
It depends on who you're comparing yourself to.
Compared to Qiu Luoye, this amount is indeed too much. Qiu Luoye doesn't give so many rewards not because he's stingy, but because he doesn't want the exam to be too difficult.
However, some Local Earth God give even more than this, because some Local Earth God nurture people, while others nurture Local Earth God.
Local Earth God all want to lower the difficulty of the examinations and try to make their land more popular. Of course, there must be a basic bottom line: they can't just let anyone come and take the Land Block away, leaving Land Block abandoned.
The Local Earth God who raise monsters never expected this land to become Proper Land; they hoped to hone the Strange Monsters through generous rewards.
With more Strange Monsters, popularity can increase, and more importantly, the Local Earth God become stronger, allowing them to expand their territories and even completely annex the surrounding lands.
Whether to raise monsters or humans is something to consider once we reach the clouds Li Banfeng left the examination to the Minotaur and returned to his Portable Abode, suddenly sensing that something was amiss.
Excitement.
The walls were getting hot and occasionally made a slight rumbling and shaking sound. Although he couldn't hear the old man's voice, Li Banfeng could sense that the entire Portable Abode was in a state of high excitement!
When the old man got excited, everyone in the family felt terrified and dared not speak loudly.
The gloves woke up, ran from the shelf to Li Banfeng's side, and whispered, "The old man found something good, it's in the third room."
"What good stuff?"
Did he find the railway tracks himself?
The man in the gloves said, "We dare not go in; the old man doesn't want us to see."
Li Banfeng walked towards the third room, but his Wife dissuaded him, saying, "Husband, don't go look. He probably just picked up a little trinket outside; there's nothing strange about it."
His Wife's words made Li Banfeng even more curious. What kind of little gadget could excite the old man like this?
As soon as he entered the door, Li Banfeng was stunned.
Five large stones were placed in the third room.
Li Banfeng asked, "Old man, why did you bring the stone back?"
"Seventh Brother!" the old man said in a low voice, mysteriously, "This is the Heaven Heart Stone."
Heaven Heart Stone?
I think I've heard of it before.
The old man reminded you, "I told you before, the price of one piece of Heaven Heart Stone is equivalent to that of a pair of railway tracks!"
The price of a pair of railway tracks is equivalent to that of a Bai Le Men.
Li Banfeng was overjoyed and, holding the stone, laughed, "Let's go to Medicine King Gully first, find Steward Feng's brother, and discuss the price with him."
The old man asked, "Why are we discussing the price?"
"Sell it! You should ask for at least a million silver dollars for this one!"
"Sell it? What are you talking about!" the old man retorted angrily. "I'm keeping it to repair the station!"
Li Banfeng still remembers this: three Heaven Heart Stones are enough to build a large station, Portable Abode can stop at the large station for an hour.
Is there a big difference between an hour and half an hour?
Li Banfeng felt a little sorry that so many Heaven Heart Stones were used to repair the station.
"Let's rebuild the station in another location!"
Portable Abode said, "Seventh Brother, you need to think long-term. This is your territory, and there are many things to do in the future. Building a large station will give you more time."
Li Banfeng smacked his lips. "The key is that there's already a train station here."
"We can take back the old Huan Tu and build the station in another place. There's no point in saying more if we don't waste things. Portable Abode is impatient and wants to build a big station right now, so Li Banfeng has no choice but to agree."
What puzzled Li Banfeng was where these Heaven Heart Stone came from.
"I've walked this area countless times. Wherever I go, you follow. How come I've never seen the Heaven Heart Stone before?"
"The Heaven Heart Stone is an unnameable substance; its location is not fixed. We were lucky this time."
All five stones have gathered here with you!
Li Banfeng couldn't figure out what exactly was unnamable.
Portable Abode the station construction began, Li Banfeng went to check on the progress of the school's examination.
Old Cow brought ten Strange Monsters and was already prepared.
Li Banfeng, disguised as Local Earth God, said to the Old Cow, "If you can't beat them, stop as soon as possible. Don't risk your life for this."
Old Cow laughed and said, "I've delivered the message, but whether I can keep it in check is another matter."
The promise of three months of cultivation was incredibly tempting, and when the appointed time arrived, the Strange Monsters stormed into the Land Block.
Chu Er led eleven men to meet the enemy, and a chaotic battle ensued within a three-mile radius.
After watching for more than half an hour without either side gaining the upper hand, Li Banfeng left. He wanted to wander around the area to see if he could find any good things like the Heaven Heart Stone.
After walking more than three miles south, the outline of a large mountain appeared in the hazy night.
Where did this mountain come from?
Li Banfeng was very familiar with his territory; there shouldn't be any mountains here, it should be a grassland.
Could it be that I remembered it wrong?
Upon closer inspection, the mountain was covered in lush vegetation, making it almost impossible to find a path leading up it.
There is definitely no such mountain on my territory; I don't know when this mountain appeared.
Li Banfeng did not rush up the mountain; he immediately went to Meng Yuchun's residence.
Meng Yuchun was polishing her hair in front of the mirror when Li Banfeng, who was waiting at the door, spoiled her mood.
After seeing the two sisters off, Meng Yuchun wiped the sweat from her brow and said, "You came to see me just to ask about the mountains? There are plenty of hills in your territory, what's so strange about that?"
Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "This is not a mountain on my territory."
Meng Yuchun chuckled, "A hundred li is not a small area; how could I remember it so clearly? It's only natural that I might have misremembered some places."
Meng Yuchun was telling the truth. For House Cultivator, it was common to misremember places, and she wasn't entirely sure about her own territory.
Li Banfeng said, "I'm Travel Cultivator, how could I not even remember a mountain?"
"So what if you're Travel Cultivator? Are you something special? If you've misremembered, just admit it. Would I laugh at you?" Meng Yuchun followed Li Banfeng down the mountain in a huff, looked up at the peak, and remained silent for a long time.
There are indeed no mountains that high in Li Qi's territory.
Meng Yuchun pinched his chin and tried to give a reasonable explanation. "The new land is constantly changing, so it is perfectly reasonable for a mountain to occasionally appear."
Li Banfeng knew that Meng Yuchun was a person who cared about his reputation, so it was understandable that he would occasionally make a few remarks to save face.
This is just too ridiculous!
According to Li Banfeng's understanding, the change of new land refers to the continuous emergence of new Land Block. Li Banfeng had never heard of any new plot of land that could change after it was formed.
After chatting for a while, Meng Yuchun also felt that something was amiss. "I'll go back and ask the cook. He's knowledgeable and should know about similar things."
After Meng Yuchun left, Li Banfeng circled the mountain and found a spot where the trees weren't too dense, where he used his skill of Cut Path Opening Road.
The trees receded to both sides, and a path appeared before us.
The path was about seventy or eighty meters long. As soon as Li Banfeng walked across it, the technique was dispelled, and the forest returned to its original state.
Li Banfeng made his way forward step by step until he reached the mountainside. He was exhausted, but the trees ahead were much thinner, and he could pass through without any special skills.
A few drops of water landed on Li Banfeng's face, and he thought it was raining.
It rains in the new land too, and rain is sometimes a hunter's lifeline, but today it is very sunny, and the raindrops come from the mist in the mountains.
Continuing up the mountain through the thick fog, Li Banfeng saw no other living creatures among the vegetation, not even an insect.
As he neared the summit, Li Banfeng smelled a odor—the smell of ink.
Following the scent, Li Banfeng saw a desk in the woods with an unfinished ink painting on it.
The image shows a young man wearing a long robe and an apron, his eyes bright as he gazes into the distance.
His expression exuded a unique vigor characteristic of scholars.
Because his arms were not yet fully extended, Li Banfeng did not know what he was holding or what he was doing.
Next to the painting was an inkstone, the ink on which was still wet.
There are people on this mountain; they probably haven't gone far.
Li Banfeng looked around, then his gaze returned to the painting.
The man in the painting, who was originally gazing into the distance, has now turned his eyes slightly and is looking at Li Banfeng.
Li Banfeng stared at the ink painting for a long time, then suddenly sensed someone approaching.
Deep in the forest, a figure slowly reappeared, gradually becoming clearer.
An elderly man in his sixties, with disheveled white hair and carrying a calligraphy brush, approached Li Banfeng.
Li Banfeng recognized the painter, Fu Taiyue.
How did he end up on this mountain?
PS: Fu Taiyue is the most skilled portrait painter in Pro State. Li Banfeng once studied painting under him. See Chapter 178 for details.
