Two Entries
Whew! Whew!
The train arrived at Three Heads Junction, and Liao Zihui boarded the train.
If it weren't for his chubby figure, Li Qi wouldn't have recognized him at all. Liao Zihui was completely covered from head to toe, and he was wearing a heavy mask on his face.
"Brother Li, how have you been?"
"Old Shen, it's been so long since we last saw each other!"
Liao Zihui took off his mask and greeted everyone one by one. On the train, there was no need to guard against the sunlight, so he could temporarily take off his equipment.
Li Banfeng exchanged a few pleasantries with Liao Zihui and then specifically said, "The Autumn Song Festival at Carefree Dock is coming soon. General Envoy Liao, you must attend!"
Liao Zihui waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Our Director Shen is listening in. We can't say this to his face, or he'll definitely report me when we get back."
Shen Jingye laughed and said, "What's wrong with listening to a song? I think Song Queen Jiang Mengting in Pro State, is in Carefree Dock? Everyone says she sings exceptionally well, and I'd like to go and listen to her too."
After exchanging pleasantries, we got down to business.
Liao Zihui brought over a list. "Brother Li, this is a roster of five thousand people. Take a look."
Looking at the roster was useless; Li Qi had never been to Three Heads Junction before and didn't recognize any of the people on the list. "General Envoy Liao, these people were all selected from the Sinner City, right?"
This was the condition proposed by Green Water Bow; he said the Three-Headed People he wanted had to come from the Sinner City.
Liao Zihui nodded and said, "The place we are in is the Sinner City, and the people I selected all come from the Sinner City. If you don't believe me, just ask them one by one. If one of them lies, maybe I taught them to do it. But you can't expect all five thousand of them to lie, can you?"
Li Qi was determined to test it out. "Since General Envoy Liao has said so, let's get off the bus!"
Liao Zihui asked someone to bring the equipment, and Li Banfeng put on a hat, a heavy protective suit, and a mask.
"Director Shen, shall we go together?" Liao Zihui asked.
Shen Jingye scratched his neck and said, "General Envoy Liao, could you please get me some inhibitors? I took some before I came, but the effects seem to be wearing off."
Those without cultivation will be affected by the local environment when they arrive at Three Heads Junction. Their necks will itch, their consciousness will become scattered, and they will have the illusion of growing two more heads.
Of course, it also depends on how long you stay at Three Heads Junction. If you stay for several hours, it shouldn't be a problem.
The hallucination will soon disappear.
But if you stay there for ten days or half a month, it might not be an illusion; you might actually grow two heads.
To be on the safe side, it's best for someone without cultivation to take some suppressants when they reach the Three Heads Junction. Shen Jingye needs suppressants at this time, firstly to show his strength. "I'm still a White Lamb, so it's best not to make me get off the train."
In addition, it also made me realize that I was already in Pro State, and these things were no longer my concern.
Liao Zihui quickly asked someone to get inhibitors for Shen Jingye, and he took Li Banfeng off the train.
The platform was still the same as before, with Three-Headed People still crowded outside the iron fence.
They reached their hands through the fence, palms outstretched, their faces filled with anticipation as they looked at Li Qi.
Li Banfeng asked Liao Zihui, "Are all these people getting on the bus today?"
Liao Zihui shook his head and said, "Not entirely."
"What's the meaning?"
Liao Zihui said, "Some of them are family members who came to see him off. They don't know if they will ever see him again in this lifetime, so they definitely had to come and see him off."
After saying that, Liao Zihui waved his hand and ordered the door to be opened.
Five thousand people lined up and entered the station entrance through a temporary passage.
The temporary passage was created by iron railings. As they walked forward, someone reached out from inside the railings, grabbing their clothes and their hands.
Li Banfeng heard the crying and heard the soft, fragmented instructions.
Li Banfeng saw many people stretch out their hands towards him, clasp their hands together, and bow to him.
Since he could remember, Li Banfeng rarely avoided other people's gazes. When speaking or doing things, he would usually look directly into the other person's eyes.
But today, he avoided looking at it.
"General Envoy Liao, how many Three-Headed People are there in Three Heads Junction?"
Liao Zihui said, "There are more than 200,000 people in the Sinner City, but we haven't counted those hiding outside the city."
More than 200,000 —
Li Qi glanced at the five thousand people who had boarded the train. They were put into freight cars, which had no windows.
"Have you prepared all the food and drinks?"
Liao Zihui laughed and said, "Don't worry, we definitely won't let them starve to death."
Li Qi checked each carriage one by one, and once everyone had boarded, the train sounded its whistle, signaling the start of the journey.
Li Qi boarded the train, stood by the window, and looked at the station.
People outside the platform were still bowing to him.
The train slowly started moving, and amidst the steam billowing, Li Qi heard the sound of drums, deep, resonant drumbeats.
Liao Zihui frowned and asked, "Why are they beating the drums today? What trouble are they trying to cause this time?"
They didn't mean to cause trouble.
This is a unique drum of the Sinner City, and it is only played in two situations: one is during the New Year, representing the Sinner City's hopes for life.
Secondly, it is rung when people are on the verge of death, representing the Sinner City's struggle for life.
Today is not New Year's Day, but they saw hope. They did not know why these five thousand people were leaving the Sinner City, nor where they were going.
But if you leave, there is hope.
Thump! Thump!
Li Banfeng stood by the window, silently watching the platform recede into the distance.
Wait for me, I will come again.
On the way, Li Qi went to count the Three-Headed People in their carriage, and Liao Zihui took the opportunity to ask Shen Jingye, "Why did Green Flower take a liking to these Three-Headed People?"
Shen Jingye shook his head repeatedly. "I haven't figured this out either. By the way, when does the Autumn Song Festival at Carefree Dock usually start?"
"It's still early, it'll be another month," Liao Zihui asked again, "I heard that Director Du also ran into Green Flower, how's the situation now?"
"Still undergoing treatment? Are all those top Song Queen from Pro State participating in this fall Song Festival?"
"It's hard to say in previous years, but this year I definitely have to participate. Carefree Dock is Li Qi and Ma Wu's territory. Which Song Queen would dare not participate? I just want to ask, has Director Du really encountered Green Flower? Although Kang Zhenchang is there, the Green Flower's ailment is not easy to treat."
"With Doctor Kang here, everything should be fine," Shen Jingye asked mysteriously. "Old Liao, tell me the truth."
Do you have feelings for Jiang Mengting?
Liao Zihui sneered, "Is this interesting?"
The two stopped talking.
Shen Jingye didn't say a single useful word; what he said was indeed meaningless.
Two days later, at 10 p. m., the train arrived in Green Water City. Deputy General Envoy Tang Huanjie and his men came to pick them up. Liao Zihui said to Shen Jingye, "Old Shen, want to come over for a drink later?"
Shen Jingye waved his hand and said, "Not today, I have to rush back, there's a lot of work to do at the bureau."
Liao Zihui frowned and asked, "What's wrong, Lao Shen? It's been so long since we last met, are you being distant? Didn't you say you wanted to watch the Autumn Song Festival?"
"When the Song Festival on, you must let me know, and I will definitely go. Right now, I really can't get away. Let's get the formalities done, and I'll rush back tonight."
Shen Jingye didn't even get out of the car.
His mission was to escort Li Qi to Green Water City Green Water City. Everything after that was left to Liao Zihui and had nothing to do with him anymore. He was very clear about this.
After leaving the station, Liao Zihui dispatched twenty-five steam trucks, each with four carriages and fifty people in each carriage, to bring the five thousand people into Green Water Bay.
As they passed Green Water City, the Three-Headed People peered out through the gaps in the template of the carriage.
The gap was very small, and they couldn't see what was outside. They only saw streaks of light flashing in the night, colorful and beautiful.
In the Sinner City, they were terrified of the light at night, because once there was light at night, it meant that dawn was coming.
But the light today isn't scary at all; I just don't know where it's coming from.
Click!
A piece of wood had been removed from the carriage, revealing a hole.
Following the hole, the Three-Headed People saw clearly.
There are buildings outside, and all sorts of lights are flashing on them.
There were people on the street, dressed in beautiful clothes, moving back and forth in the halo of light.
As the car passed the Peace Mansion, a very young Three-Headed People named Shuanzhu looked up at the tall building and asked, "What place is that?"
No one could answer him; no one knew what such a tall, beautiful building was used for.
Shuanzhu stared at the Peace Mansion for a long time, until it completely disappeared from sight. "It's so beautiful, that place is so beautiful, and the people there are beautiful too. Are they like us?"
A middle-aged man nearby snorted and said, "Can you compare them? They don't have three heads."
"They're all the same!" Li Qi peeled off another wooden plank from the carriage. "They're all people, there's no difference."
At 4:30 a. m., the truck stopped in Snake Bridge Village.
This village is very remote. It was abandoned for many years due to bandits, and the houses are dilapidated.
Liao Zihui ordered the trucks to be unloaded, and the five thousand Three-Headed People disembarked, thus completing Liao Zihui's mission.
"Brother Li, will Green Water Bow be picking someone up here soon?"
Li Banfeng nodded. "Yes, wait here for a moment, he will be here soon."
"Why should I wait for him? We're not even related."
If it were anyone else, Liao Zihui would really have to wait a while. As for Green Flower, who knows what might happen if he met her?
The truck drove away, and not long after, two groups of people arrived in the deserted village: one group was from the He Family, and the other group was from Ma Wu.
For the next few days, they will be in charge of looking after these Three-Headed People.
In Seven Autumn City, Ma Wu had seen many Three-Headed People and should have been used to it, but seeing five thousand Three-Headed People standing in front of him still made him a little nervous.
He Yuxiu was also a little nervous, but not because of the Three-Headed People. She had traveled all over Pro State and seen everything. She was nervous because of Pusheng's matter.
The Three-Headed People has arrived, and the day to seize the clouds is fast approaching.
He Yuxiu breathed on her palms; her hands had been ice-cold for the past two days.
"Seventh Brother, I'm a little unwilling to accept this."
Li Banfeng: "What is resentment?"
He Yuxiu smiled and said, "I want a child. I didn't want to when I was young, but now that I'm this age, I want to have one, but I can't find the right person."
Li Banfeng thought she was joking again, "There's still a long way to go, take your time looking."
He Yuxiu said, "I'm about to be promoted, but I don't know if I'll have another chance in the future."
Li Banfeng frowned. "You told me last time that you knew a way to forcibly take over the cloud."
The mechanism of martial arts cultivation is different from that of Travel Cultivator and House Cultivator, so Li Banfeng's method of advancement is not applicable to He Yuxiu.
"I know, it's Two Entries." He Yuxiu did know the method, but whether she could actually do it was another matter.
What is Two Entries?
"It's just the method we martial arts practitioners use," He Yuxiu didn't want to say more, afraid that Li Qi would worry. "Seventh Brother, I owe you a lot in this life. If this matter doesn't work out, the He Family will still have to rely on you for help. If this matter succeeds, I really don't know how to repay you. I'll be your person from now on. Don't overthink it. I don't mean anything by it. I, I won't say—"
"You just won't say it," Li Qi laughed, "But you've been mine for a long time!"
With a few words and a laugh, He Yuxiu felt much more relaxed. After everything was settled, Li Qi went to the Soda Kiln.
Upon arriving at the factory, Feng Daiku waited outside. "I told Luo Lijun that the Guanfang Hall was preparing to move, but Luo Lijun didn't believe me and wanted to go out and see for herself."
Li Qi shook his head and said, "That won't work. She can't leave that factory. This rule can't be changed."
The two entered the factory. Luo Lijun was pacing by the pool. Seeing Li Qi arrive, she waved her antennae and greeted him, "What did you say you wanted me to go out and take a look? It's not that I don't trust you; I brought the contract with me."
But I need to verify this as well; I can't just accept whatever you say.
Luo Lijun indeed brought the two contracts. Li Qi took the contracts, looked at them, and asked, "These are indeed a pair, aren't they?"
"Of course it's a pair!" Luo Lijun was afraid that Li Banfeng wouldn't believe her, so she specially told him how to verify it. "After the Guanfang Hall moves away, I will give you the Local Earth Seal and tell you the location of the new land. You can take the deed to the new land and drop your blood for testing. If both pieces show a reaction, it proves that there is no problem with the deed."
Li Qi was still worried. "We need to make things clear. This new land belongs entirely to me. You are not allowed to leave Curse Art or other methods behind."
Luo Lijun brought over a Paper Contract: "Once the Guanfang Hall moves out, let's finalize the Paper Contract right now!"
From the perspective of sincerity alone, there's really nothing wrong with Inner State's approach.
Li Qi certainly couldn't let this snail leave the factory, but it would be unfair not to give her a chance to inspect it. "Send someone over there. Don't you have a lot of Pro State people under you?"
The Snail Girl pondered carefully, wondering which person could be considered reliable.
After thinking for a while, Luo Lijun said a name: "Chu Shaoqiang, do you know this person?"
Li Qi nodded. "I know him."
,
Feng Daiku also knew Chu Shaoqiang: "Why did you leak this person to us? Aren't you afraid we'll cause him trouble?"
Luo Lijun said, "We are having a fair trade. I want to be upfront about this. Chu Shaoqiang will be arriving at the Soda Kiln in the next day or two. He will definitely not escape your notice. Since we have agreed on this beforehand, please don't make things difficult for him."
That was indeed a frank statement, and as it turns out, Luo Lijun's approach was correct.
Feng Daiku has special methods, and the area around the Soda Kiln isn't very big, so she can quickly find out whenever Li Qi comes.
Chu Shaoqiang arrived at the Soda Kiln the next day, but was discovered by Feng Daiku in less than half a day.
That evening, Luo Lijun went to see Li Banfeng again, and Chu Shaoqiang was also present.
Luo Lijun said, "Chu Shaoqiang has already investigated the situation. Most of the personnel from the Guanfang Hall have been withdrawn. I trust you. Today, we will finalize the Paper Contract, Local Earth Seal for you, and tell you the location of the new land."
She prepared a map with the location of the new land marked on it.
Li Banfeng had initially thought the new land was in a very remote location, but after looking at the map, he discovered it wasn't far from Green Water City.
Things seem to be going too smoothly.
The two parties signed Paper Contract, Li Banfeng received the Local Earth Seal, thus acquiring the new land.
Chu Shaoqiang left the factory with Li Qi and Feng Daiku.
As they parted, Chu Shaoqiang gave Li Banfeng a piece of advice. "Be careful."
Li Banfeng asked, "What is there to be extra careful about?"
Chu Shaoqiang looked around, then lowered his voice and said to Li Qi, "I've never seen two new plots of land with complete deeds before. To be honest, I'm quite envious."
I'm sure I'm not the only one envious; there are definitely many people who want this new land. Whether you can stay after getting it depends on your own abilities.
After Chu Shaoqiang left, Feng Daiku was still somewhat worried. "Young Master Li, there might be a backup plan in Inner State."
We must also be more vigilant.
Li Banfeng held the Paper Contract and looked at it over and over again. "To be honest, I really can't see what other tricks are involved here."
Feng Daiku and said, "If Inner State were so trustworthy, their reputation wouldn't be so bad."
It's hard to say what secrets are hidden here.
Li Banfeng knew things shouldn't go so smoothly, but he couldn't think of any other methods Inner State might have. After pondering for a long time, Li Banfeng asked, "I'd like to ask Miss Feng about one method: how did you know Chu Shaoqiang had come to the Soda Kiln?"
Speaking of this skill, Feng Daiku is indeed amazing. Ma Wu once said that as long as he reaches Belt Ridge, Feng Daiku will definitely sense it.
Upon hearing Feng Daiku smiled and asked, "Young Master Li, would you like to learn?"
Li Banfeng knew that such superb skills could not be easily passed on to others. "I never ask people to do things for free. Miss Feng, whatever your conditions are, we can discuss them."
Feng Daiku, "These conditions are not simple. I know about things in the mortal realm because I have planted many seeds of affection there. If Young Master Li wants to learn this craft, he must join my sect."
This is indeed a bit of a dilemma. Li Banfeng has already started two businesses, and opening a third would be too risky.
Besides, even if a third business could be opened, it shouldn't be located in the realm of Emotion Cultivator.
Seeing that Li Qi remained silent for a long time, Feng Daiku did not press him further. "Young Master Li, after the Outer State left, the Inner State were less constrained."
Who knows how many changes might occur in the future? I hope you'll continue to look after this area of Soda Kiln.
After the agreement was reached, Li Qi left the Soda Kiln and went to Green Water City. He found He Yuxiu and first took her on a tour of the new place.
This is a good location. There is a high mountain, a large forest, and plenty of timber and stone. There are also large fields, and if Farming Cultivator is introduced in the future, there will be land suitable for cultivation.
He Yuxiu exclaimed, "What a wonderful place!"
Li Qi took out two contracts. "If you think they're good, then bleed."
He Yuxiu bit her lip and said, "Okay, let's choose a place to bury the deed first."
He Yuxiu found a Sky Pit on the mountain, and there was a cave in the rock wall of the Sky Pit. He Yuxiu pried open a rock, chiseled a hole, and asked Li Banfeng, "Seventh Brother, what do you think of this place?"
Li Banfeng looked around and felt that the place was not very secure, but He Yuxiu had other preparations.
She took out a clam the size of her palm, placed it on the ground, cut her palm, and sprinkled blood on the clam.
Having ingested the blood, the clam meat wriggled continuously inside the shell.
A short while later, a cloud of white mist spewed out of the clam shell, revealing the hole that He Yuxiu had just carved.
It's gone.
Li Banfeng activated his "Golden Eyes Autumn Hairs" technique, pushing it to its maximum, and was able to barely make out the outline of the hole on the rock wall.
He Yuxiu was very confident in this magical artifact. "This is called Mirage Clam, and it's of a very high level. I spent a lot of money on this thing. As long as it's placed here, no one will be able to find the contract."
Li Banfeng nodded and said, "It's indeed a good thing. Xiu Er, where do you plan to hide this Mirage Clam?"
He Yuxiu looked at Li Qi, pursed her lips, and remained silent.
"Do you think she could even think of something like this?" The Mirage Clam spoke. Li Banfeng, possessing the Discern Spiritual Sounds Technique, heard it clearly, but He Yuxiu couldn't.
Li Banfeng squatted down and asked the mirage clam, "What good ideas do you have?"
The mirage clam replied, "I'll have her give me one or two ounces of blood every month. It doesn't have to be her blood, but her cultivation level has to be at least the eighth level. I'll find a way to hide myself and also keep an eye on the contract for her."
Li Banfeng stared at the Mirage Clam without saying a word.
If this were his own magical artifact, the matter would indeed be settled. However, He Yuxiu cannot communicate with the artifact, so the toad's loyalty remains to be seen.
The Mirage Clam seemed to sense Li Banfeng's worries. "He Yuxiu and I have a contract. If I dare to betray her, I will lose my life!"
Li Banfeng turned to He Yuxiu and asked, "Do you have a contract with this magical artifact?"
"Yes." He Yuxiu handed the contract to Li Banfeng.
The contract was written on Contract Paper, and all the constraints on it were written in great detail, leaving no loopholes.
Li Banfeng retrieved the Contract Paper and also signed a Paper Contract with the Mirage Clam to give him two ounces of blood every month. However, if the Mirage Clam betrayed him, he would be punished twice.
With everything prepared, He Yuxiu was about to sprinkle blood on the contract, but her hands were trembling.
Li Banfeng stopped He Yuxiu: "Xiu Er, if you're scared, wait a little longer."
He Yuxiu blushed. "You've made a fool of yourself."
Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "I didn't laugh, and I shouldn't have laughed."
"I... I'm not actually afraid of death, I'm just—."
"It's not wrong to be afraid of death. You only have one life, why shouldn't you be?" Li Banfeng handed He Yuxiu a cigarette. "Think about it carefully, and tell me when you've made up your mind."
That night, He Yuxiu slept directly in the cave, while Li Banfeng quietly returned to his Portable Abode.
Through the Fifth Chamber daughters, the Wife saw He Yuxiu, examined her carefully, and asked, "Is this woman thirty years old?"
Li Banfeng thought for a moment, "He should be forty."
"No way, she's so beautiful and has such a great figure. Little Slave, tell me the truth, have you slept with her?"
"My dear Wife, I swear on my Oil Pot, I have never slept with you."
~
The Wife smiled and asked again, "Husband, put down the Oil Pot first, and tell me how she plans to ascend to the clouds?"
Li Banfeng recalled for a moment, "She said that method was called 'Two Entries,' but I didn't know what kind of technique it was."
Hong Ying said, "I understand what 'Two Entries' means!"
"It's not the same thing as what you're talking about," the record player said, giving Hong Ying a slap on the wrist. Then, turning to Li Banfeng, she said, "It's the Two Entries advancement, the crudest method of advancement for martial arts cultivators. She has to first take the forbidden martial arts drug, the Heart Piercing Pill, to accumulate her Dao Affinity."
"What kind of pill is the Heart Piercing Pill?" Li Qi had never heard of it before.
"The Heart Piercing Pill is a potent medicine for those with Dao Affinity. Taking one is equivalent to being exposed to the light of heaven twice in a row. The White Lamb explodes after being exposed to the light of heaven once. He Yuxiu has Ninth Layer of cultivation. If she is exposed to the light of heaven twice in a row, even if she doesn't explode, she will become a cripple."
"If I become a cripple, how can I advance to the Cloud Realm?"
"At this point, the second step of advancement must be carried out. The Entry Medicine Powder is applied to the body to forcefully obtain the cultivation level above the clouds through the second entry into the Dao. Therefore, this method is also called the Two Entries."
Li Banfeng thought for a moment, "This method is indeed crude. Isn't there a better way?"
"There are better ways, but only a meticulous person can do it."
"How meticulous?"
"It means having a complete understanding of one's own physique, cultivation level, reality, strength, and weakness, and being able to sense even the slightest change."
Li Banfeng pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It seems she can't do that."
"If you don't have such a meticulous mind, then use these Two Entries methods. I see that this woman is physically strong, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, she should be able to get through this ordeal."
My dear husband, please remember this: after taking the Heart Piercing Pill, her bones will become weak and her muscles will go numb. She might not be able to hold the powder. Please help her apply the powder then.
The amount of powder must be precisely controlled. Too little, and it won't have any effect; too much, and it will harm her body. Even the slightest excess could be fatal. Therefore, a small amount must be applied gradually, testing the waters.
After taking the Heart Piercing Pill, his blood and energy were greatly enhanced. His husband would apply the medicine to areas with thick skin, changing the location after each application.
"Whatever you do, don't let her skin break, otherwise the bleeding will be uncontrollable and could even be fatal."
"My dear Wife, what do you mean by 'thick skin and flesh'?"
"Do I even need to tell you? Just figure it out yourself."
Li Banfeng thought for a moment, then suddenly realized, "My Wife is talking about the heels!"
The record player remained silent for a long time. "Her heels are indeed thick, but my dear husband, after her promotion, she needs to familiarize herself with the area. If her heels are damaged, how will she walk?"
The next morning at dawn, He Yuxiu made up her mind. "Seventh Brother, we're all going to live once and for all, so let's go all out this time! I'll shed my blood!"
"Are you really sure?"
"I've made up my mind!"
He Yuxiu went to the Sky Pit, stained her blood on the contract, and then wrote Paper Contract, which served as proof for the Hundred Li Land.
He Yuxiu's name appeared on the contract.
After burying the deed and the Local Earth Seal, He Yuxiu became the Local Earth God of this land.
According to the previously established plan, He Yuxiu first familiarized herself with the territory, then completed her promotion, and then called the Three-Headed People over to reclaim the wasteland.
The purpose of this was to allow He Yuxiu to advance to the Cloud Realm under relatively discreet conditions. Otherwise, sending five thousand people directly to the new land would definitely attract attention. If the location of the new land were exposed, it would be much more difficult for He Yuxiu to advance steadily.
For the next two days, He Yuxiu explored the area, striving to maintain her position after her promotion.
Li Banfeng, carrying a bowl, searched for a suitable place for her to perform a ritual.
He Yuxiu had basically figured out the route, Li Banfeng decided to help her with the upgrade in a Pine Forest.
"In the woods?" He Yuxiu looked around. "It would be better to be in a cave."
Li Banfeng said, "Listen to me, this is the most suitable place."
He Yuxiu held the Heart Piercing Pill, looked at Li Banfeng, and took a deep breath. "Seventh Brother, if I don't make it through, just kill me. Don't let me spend the rest of my life like a cripple."
"Don't worry, she'll get through this." Li Banfeng put on rubber gloves and waited by her side. If He Yuxiu was in good condition, she would apply the Entry Medicine herself; if she was not in good condition, Li Banfeng would apply it for her.
He Yuxiu was very scared, but Li Banfeng had a lot of confidence in her.
Holding the Heart Piercing Pill, He Yuxiu opened her mouth and swallowed it.
She sat silently against a pine tree, motionless, while Li Qi prepared the medicine powder beside her.
Ten minutes later, the Heart Piercing Pill began to take effect, and beads of sweat slid down He Yuxiu's cheeks.
"Is it time?" Li Banfeng asked softly.
He Yuxiu shook her head. "Wait a little longer."
The medicine wasn't working properly, so He Yuxiu gritted her teeth and endured it.
Ten minutes later, the medicine took effect, He Yuxiu tried to grab the powder, but she couldn't lift her hand.
Li Banfeng dipped his fingertip in the powder and gently applied it to He Yuxiu's right hand.
The skin on a person's palm is relatively thick.
He Yuxiu shuddered in pain, waited for more than two minutes, and then shook her head slightly.
There is not enough powder.
Li Banfeng then used his fingertip to apply a little of the powder to He Yuxiu's left hand.
My Wife warned me not to apply all the medicine powder to one spot, as it could be very dangerous if an injury occurred.
He Yuxiu applied a little powder to each hand, but still shook her head; there wasn't enough powder.
Li Banfeng took some more powder, unbuttoned He Yuxiu's clothes, and applied it to her belly.
He Yuxiu cried out in pain, but the quantity was still not enough.
He had to be extremely careful from now on. Just as Li Banfeng dipped his right hand in the medicine powder, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside the woods.
He Yuxiu was still conscious and quickly grabbed Li Banfeng's clothes.
If someone were to rush in at this moment, He Yuxiu would be powerless to fight back, Li Banfeng would have to take care of He Yuxiu, so the two of them would be unable to resist at all.
Li Banfeng looked at He Yuxiu calmly, indicating that she didn't need to worry.
A voice came from outside the woods. "Sister, is that you? Don't be afraid, I'm here to help you."
Whose voice is that?
Li Banfeng didn't know because he wasn't familiar with this person.
He Yuxiu was startled; she was all too familiar with that voice.
He Haiqin.
The previous head of the He Family, after Ninth to Tenth Stage, relinquished his physical body and went to He Haiqin in Inner State.
Why is he here?
He Yuxiu was impulsive by nature and valued family ties, but at this critical juncture, she was unsure of He Haiqin's intentions.
"Sis, are you in these woods? If you don't say anything, I'm coming over!"
He Haiqin was about to walk into the woods when a cloud of smoke drifted over.
"Big brother, don't go over there."
He Haiqin raised his head slightly. "What do you mean?"
Smoke swirled around He Haiqin: "Big brother, don't touch our sister."
He Yuxiu became even more nervous; she recognized the voice.
Li Qi's expression remained normal. He dipped his fingertips in some medicine powder, gently turned He Yuxiu over, and applied the medicine to her in a different spot.
P. S.: How did they find this place?
