The Man from the Heavens?

In the parking lot of the Culture Palace, a woman in her late twenties started her car and was about to drive off when she suddenly noticed a man sitting in the back seat.

The woman wanted to turn around, but Li Qi reminded her not to move.

"Are you here to deliver goods to Yin Siniang?"

The woman nodded slightly.

Li Qi then asked, "Who sent you?"

The woman didn't quite understand what Li Qi meant. "This is what I do, I work alone."

"If you don't want to tell the truth, we can talk somewhere else."

The woman was terrified. "I'm telling the truth, I'm not lying to you. You can ask Yin Siniang, I've been doing business with her for a long time."

"What profession are you Dark Energy User?"

"I am a psychic."

"What level?"

"Three floors."

"So young and already on the third floor?"

"I've used all the money I've earned to buy Harmonizing Agent. I've been saving every penny over the years, and I've only just reached the third floor. I've been in this business for a long time, and many people know me. My name is Jin Shunying, and many people know me. I'm not lying to you."

Li Banfeng glanced at the Pocket Watch, and Dream Virtue Pocket Watch nodded slightly at Li Banfeng.

Having lived a life of luxury with Li Banfeng for so long, Dream Virtue's strength is far beyond what it used to be, and the lie of a third-level demonic cultivator could not fool her.

This woman wasn't very good at expressing herself, but her thinking was very clear. Li Banfeng had read a lot of materials about her at the Dark Star Bureau.

In the Outer State, Dark Energy User with the third level of cultivation is already rare. She has the strength, but she did not choose to risk fighting Li Banfeng, which shows that she is a smart person.

Li Banfeng took out a Contract Paper: "I want to do a business deal with you."

Jin Shunying shook her head and said, "I don't do small-scale business. If my customers find out, no one will want to buy my goods anymore."

"I'm not buying Ghost Servant from you, I'm buying something else. Please leave your bloody handprint on this contract."

"Wait for me at this same time tomorrow, in this very place."

Jin Shunying pressed her handprint, and Li Qi disappeared in the blink of an eye. She only heard the car door open once, but could not see Li Qi at all.

Why did I provoke someone like that? Did Yin Siniang ruin me?

He just used special paper from Pro State. If I don't come tomorrow, I'm afraid I'll die.

As Jin Shunying Soon-young drove home, she couldn't help but shiver.

"We'll take you to the edge of the village, we'll take you to the edge of that village, why only to the edge of the village—" Yin Siniang hummed a little tune as she tidied up the new Ghost Servant.

This girl is good-looking, a scholar on the first floor, has an air of refinement, and is worth a lot of money.

This man's combat strength is well-maintained; he's a second-level martial arts cultivator, good for fighting. Even if he doesn't fight, he's good for manual labor and could fetch a good price.

This young man isn't particularly good-looking, but he's got considerable assets, and he's a second-level Joy Cultivator. If he chooses the right buyer, he could fetch a high price.

The man's features were somewhat blurry, presumably because his soul was not well preserved; judging from his appearance, he would not be easy to attack.

I didn't see this person when I was inspecting the goods earlier. Yin Siniang was humming a little tune and flipping through the name list when Li Banfeng couldn't help but speak up, "You can sing a whole song with just this one line? Can't you learn more lyrics?"

Yin Siniang shuddered in fright and took several steps back, saying, "Big Boss, what brings you here?"

"I'm here to buy something. Don't you want me to come?"

"I miss you so much! Choose whichever one you like!"

Li Qi said, "Let me see all the new people who came tonight."

Yin Siniang smiled and said, "You want the new ones that arrive tonight? I'm afraid you won't like these."

"Show me the goods first, then we'll see if you like them or not."

Yin Siniang showed off each of the Ghost Servant that Jin Shunying had sent. Li Banfeng was not satisfied with any of them, as none of them had a Ghost Servant level higher than the third level.

Who delivered your goods?

Yin Siniang shook her head and said, "According to the rules, you shouldn't ask about this."

"Is that so?" Li Banfeng smiled.

Seeing Li Banfeng smile, Yin Siniang immediately changed her tune. "But our relationship is different. I'll tell you the truth this time. The person who delivered the goods to me is an old friend."

This young woman's name is Jin Shunying. Despite her young age, she has been in the industry for quite some time, is trustworthy, meticulous in her work, and quite beautiful.

Although she doesn't usually take casual jobs, we're on good terms. I'll talk to her about what I want another day.

You can just contact her directly; her prices are much cheaper than mine.

Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "Her goods aren't very good. If you want to buy something good, you'll have to come to you. Hasn't the Ferry Gang been delivering goods to you lately?"

"They only brought it once, and you were there too. I was so scared I almost peed my pants. You even said you'd sew my mouth shut. They haven't come since."

Chu Zikai was startled.

It's understandable that people are shocked after such a big incident.

Li Banfeng then asked, "Besides your place, does the Ferry Gang deliver goods to other people?"

"How would I know—"

"You really don't know?" Li Banfeng laughed again.

"How can I put this—" Yin Siniang was forced into a corner and lowered her voice, "I was chatting with some colleagues yesterday, and we just received a batch of goods from Jiacheng District. The Boat Boss delivered them personally."

"He delivered the goods himself again. Is he that short of money?"

Yin Siniang sighed, "Who doesn't lack money?"

Li Banfeng left Yin Siniang a stack of banknotes. "If you have any news about the Boat Boss, be sure to tell me."

The following evening, Jin Shunying waited in the parking lot, and Li Banfeng quietly got into the car and sat in the back seat for a while.

Jin Shunying saw Li Banfeng's figure, gently rubbed her palms, and the Ghost Servant in the carriage became alert.

She usually has sixteen Ghost Servant with her. Each Ghost Servant has a fixed position in the carriage. They are usually discreet, but when it is time to strike, each has their own methods, and each move is deadly.

Jin Shunying didn't expect these Ghost Servant to be able to defeat Li Banfeng, but she was certain that Li Banfeng wouldn't discover them. When the time came, she would have the Ghost Servant launch a surprise attack, catching the enemy off guard and at least buying her some time to escape.

"How long have these Ghost Servant been with you?" Li Banfeng asked.

One sentence shattered all of Jin Shunying's illusions.

Li Banfeng had already discovered this group of Ghost Servant.

Jin Shunying told the truth, "Ever since I became Dark Energy User, they have been following me. I just wanted to do some small business to support myself. I don't know where I offended you. I beg you to spare my life."

Judging from the sound, Jin Shunying was crying.

Li Banfeng didn't make things difficult for her; he just chatted with her casually. "Your business is quite large; you can sell hundreds of thousands of items at a time."

Jin Shunying sobbed, "The price is high, and the cost is also high. Hunting a ghost worth 100,000 will cost 70,000 to 80,000. All the money earned will be used to buy the Harmonizing Agent. The price of the Harmonizing Agent is frighteningly expensive. The little money left is barely enough to eat and wear."

Since he spoke sincerely, Li Banfeng pulled out a wad of banknotes and said, "I have a good business opportunity, but I don't have that much capital. Could you tell me where you hunt the undead?"

Jin Shunying looked at the banknotes but dared not accept them, Li Banfeng stuffed the money into her hand.

"I usually search for the spirits of the dead in Yanlou Village."

Yanlou Village?

I vaguely remember this place from when I was in school; it seems to be a popular spot for online influencers.

Jin Shunying continued, "Yanlou Village has a special geographical location and a relatively stable source of Dark Energy. The energy concentration is not suitable for humans, but it is very suitable for the dead. The dead will actively run to Yanlou Village, and the psychics in Yuezhou also go there to find business."

"Did the Ferry Gang go there too?"

"I've been there. Their Boat Boss is said to be planning to do a big deal in Yanlou Village."

"What kind of business?"

"It seems that the vengeful spirit of a high-level fighter has appeared in Yanlou Village, and many hunters have gone there in groups."

High-level fighters!

We've found a clue.

Li Banfeng said, "Do you want to give it a try? To bring back that high-level fighter?"

Jin Shunying shook her head and said, "I don't have that ability. That fighter is at the seventh level, and he's a specialized undead. If I go there, I'll just be throwing my life away."

What does "specialized undead" mean?

Jin Shunying explained, "After Dark Energy User dies, their dark energy will be severely weakened, causing a sharp drop in combat power. Dark Energy User at level three might only have level one combat power after death."

However, there is a special type of Dark Energy User. They possess extraordinary talent in life, and after death, their talent is even better unleashed. Dark Energy User was originally at level three might have combat power reaching level five after death.

When encountering these kinds of undead, a hunter's past experience is useless; survival depends entirely on luck. That high-level fighter I mentioned earlier has already killed many hunters.

A folk Dark Energy User possesses such a solid grasp of professional knowledge.

Li Banfeng said earnestly, "Shunying, if you want to get ahead in this industry, you have to get involved in these big deals."

Jin Shunying shook her head repeatedly. "I don't dare to reach out. I know my own limitations."

"Shunying, young people should have dreams."

Jin Shunying lowered her head and said, "I don't have the guts to have such a dream."

"I'll give you the guts," Li Banfeng said, taking out paper and pen and writing a contract. "I'll do this business with you. If it goes through, we'll split the profits fifty-fifty."

If the deal falls through, I'll give you some money as compensation for your losses. What do you think?

"I'm really no good—"

Li Banfeng stuffed the contract into Jin Shunying's hand.

Knowing she had no choice, Jin Shunying pressed her bloody handprint on her hand and drove Li Banfeng to Yanlou Village.

On the way, she only asked one question, "How should I address you?"

"My name is Big Boss, you can just call me Boss."

Yanlou Village is an urban village with narrow streets, old buildings, electric vehicles shuttling back and forth, and a dense network of various power lines. All the characteristics of an urban village are very prominent in Yanlou Village.

Jin Shunying found a small hotel and wanted two rooms, but the owner waved his hand and said, "Only one room."

"You're fully booked?" Jin Shunying was quite surprised, as this hotel wasn't usually very busy.

"Today is the 5th, and tomorrow is the day the great god descends. If you come at this time, you're lucky to even have a room."

Jin Shunying rubbed her forehead; she had been so scared that she had forgotten about it.

The arrival of the great god is a very important day for Yanlou Village.

The hotel owner said, "Besides, you're traveling alone, what would you need two rooms for?"

What defines a person?

There's a man standing next to me, can't he see me?

Li Banfeng was standing right next to Jin Shunying, but the hotel owner really didn't see him.

The Cloud-based House Cultivator has such abilities; if Li Banfeng hadn't deliberately left any trace, Jin Shunying wouldn't have been able to see him when he got into Jin Shunying car.

The girl reacted quickly, reserving the last remaining room and checking in.

Once inside the room, Li Banfeng first touched the Thread-Pulling Earring, then the projector in his pocket.

The projector blocked the surveillance equipment in the room, Thread-Pulling Earring pulled out a hook in the room.

Li Banfeng asked, "What did he mean when he said a great god has descended?"

Jin Shunying said, "More than ten years ago, a great deity appeared in Yanlou Village. This deity descended once a month on the sixth."

Stay for a day; during this day, many people will come to pray to the gods.

"What's the background of this expert?"

"His origins are unclear. It is said that he was not born from the earth, but was born from heaven."

"A person from heaven?" Li Banfeng was stunned for a while, then asked, "What kind of abilities does this great god have?"

Does it make you rich or does it get you a promotion?

If the answer is that he can help people Pill Refining, Li Banfeng will leave Yanlou Village immediately.

Jin Shunying thought for a moment and said, "I don't know what abilities the great god has, but people who come here to pray have all sorts of desires: some want official positions, some want education, some want wealth, and some want medical treatment."

Some say this deity is very effective, while others say he's not at all; some worship him devoutly, while others are just there for the spectacle.

Li Banfeng asked, "Have you prayed to the gods?"

Jin Shunying nodded. "I prayed once, and I felt it was quite effective. Not long ago, I saved up some money and wanted to buy Harmonizing Agent to advance to the third level. I even came to Yanlou Village to pray to the gods, hoping everything would go smoothly."

Logically, I shouldn't have been able to buy much with that little money, but those guys selling Harmonizing Agent at the Culture Palace had their reputations ruined by someone, and they couldn't sell their goods. Some of their Harmonizing Agent were about to expire, so they sold them to me at 20% off. I really made a killing that time.

Boss, did I say something wrong? Boss—.

Li Banfeng appeared somewhat dazed.

A nerdy guy's expression is easily overlooked, but Li Banfeng's expression was a little more obvious this time.

The celestial beings are the masters of the Red Lotus.

Red Lotus possesses unparalleled abilities in Pill Refining.

Jin Shunying prayed to the gods to buy Harmonizing Agent and was blessed by the gods.

The Harmonizing Agent is actually a medicinal pill from Outer State...

There must be a connection here; this great master is very likely the owner of the Red Lotus.

Li Banfeng asked Jin Shunying, "When do you plan to hunt down that fighter?"

Jin Shunying thought for a moment, "It's definitely not going to work today or tomorrow. There are too many people, and it's inconvenient to take action. Otherwise, it will attract the Dark Star Bureau."

I plan to observe the situation for the next couple of days, and then take action the day after tomorrow evening. By then, most of the people in Yanlou Village will have left.

Li Banfeng suggested, "How about we wait until the expert leaves before coming back?"

Jin Shunying thought for a moment and said, "Since I've come all this way, I'd like to pray to the gods before I leave."

What wish does she make when she prays to the gods?

Is she trying to get rid of me?

Li Banfeng nodded. "That's good. Then rest here and wait for the worship ceremony."

When the topic of rest came up, Jin Shunying blushed, realizing that the two of them couldn't sleep in the same room.

"I'm going to sleep in the car."

Just as Jin Shunying was about to get up, Li Banfeng waved his hand and said, "You can sleep here and make some preparations. I'll come to see you the day after tomorrow."

After leaving the hotel, Li Banfeng took a stroll around the urban village before quickly returning to his residence.

Upon entering Portable Abode, Li Banfeng went straight to Tenth Chamber and sat down near Red Lotus.

The Red Lotus unfolded its petals, revealing a Lotus Seed, a Profound Essence Pill he had refined from the corpse of the Luhuo Wang.

Li Banfeng glanced at the pills and asked Red Lotus softly, "Have the people from heaven come to Yuezhou?"

Red Lotus remained silent for a long time before asking, "How did you know?"

They really did come!

"Did he come for you?"

Red Lotus trembled her petals. "I don't think he came for me. I think he might not have wanted to come to Yuezhou."

He must have come here for another reason.

Red Lotus seems to know a lot of things, and she seems to have been maintaining some kind of special connection with the people in heaven.

In this situation, the wisest course of action for Li Banfeng would be to leave Yuezhou immediately.

Red Lotus saw through Li Banfeng's thoughts and slowly said, "Don't be in such a hurry to leave. If you leave..."

He might go with you.

Li Banfeng patted Lotus Heart: "Lianmei, are you joking? In this vast sea of people, he thinks he could find me so easily?"

Red Lotus gently pinched Li Banfeng's fingers with her Lotus Heart: "There's nothing I can do, I'm in your hands."

Li Banfeng got up and left the Tenth Chamber.

Upon arriving at the main room, Li Banfeng lay on the bed without uttering a word.

Hong Ying asked with a smile, "What's wrong, Seventh Son? Are you upset because you can't learn to fly?"

The phonograph player slapped Hong Ying, then went to Li Banfeng's side and gently comforted him, "My dear husband, I heard everything that happened just now. You don't need to listen to that bitch's nonsense. That person in the sky definitely didn't come to find you."

My Wife is right, that person in heaven didn't come looking for me.

The tradition of worshipping gods in Yanlou Village has lasted for more than ten years. The gods from heaven come once a month, and this has been the case for more than ten years. This is his habit and should have nothing to do with Red Lotus.

But the record player also had some concerns. "Among the people I know, the only one in this world who can rival the Peddler is this celestial being. To be on the safe side, sir, you should leave Yuezhou for the time being."

Li Banfeng said, "I'm worried that if I suddenly leave now, it will attract his attention."

The record player sighed softly; she was also somewhat worried and couldn't think of a solution for the moment.

"Seventh Brother, you don't need to go anywhere," the old man said. "Just stay at home for the next couple of days. It's been so many years since we last met. I want to see if he can find me."

The record player was inwardly impressed, never expecting the old man to have such confidence.

"My dear husband, just listen to our master. These next few days, I'll stay home and study some knowledge with Little Slave."

"What kind of knowledge?"

"As for the techniques, my lord, you've advanced too quickly, and some of the techniques you've only half mastered. Let Little Slave help you catch up."

For two whole days, Li Banfeng stayed at Portable Abode with his Wife, learning techniques without even leaving the house.

Under his Wife's guidance, he made considerable progress in the Deep Mansion, Golden House Hides Beauty, Expand Territory, and Shadows Pitying Each Other.

The most obvious progress is seen in the Deep Mansion and the Shadows Pitying Each Other.

The techniques that can be borrowed from large, Deep Mansion have increased in number and their strength has also improved significantly.

The technique of Shadows Pitying Each Other has been simplified. Before summoning the shadow, the meeting process can be basically omitted as long as no special tactics are devised.

On the evening of the 7th, Li Banfeng went to Yanlou Village and found Jin Shunying at the hotel.

Jin Shunying had already prepared the bait, organized her equipment, and gathered some information. "That high-level fighter has been active at the construction site east of the village recently. A group of hunters fought him a few days ago and lost."

There were no casualties, so they escaped unscathed.

,

Li Banfeng looked at Jin Shunying's equipment and admired the young woman's professionalism.

"What did you wish for when the great deity descended?"

Jin Shunying glanced at Li Banfeng, Li Banfeng raised an eyebrow and said, "If it's inconvenient, then there's no need to say anything."

"Actually, there's nothing inconvenient about it. I don't want to say it out loud because I'm worried my wish won't come true, but keeping it to myself is also quite uncomfortable."

"Boss, you're right. If you want to get ahead, you have to target big business. I'm still young, and I still have dreams. My wish is that we can definitely catch that high-level fighter this time."

"You made such a wish?" Li Banfeng's cheeks trembled.

"Isn't that a bit greedy?" Jin Shunying lowered her head and said, "I heard from the boss that right here in this hotel, a woman who had been blind for many years made a wish to a deity, and overnight, she could see again."

"This time, the divine intervention was exceptionally effective. It wasn't just the boss who said so; I believe he's watching over us from heaven, ensuring we succeed in this great undertaking."

"Keep watching—" Li Banfeng took a deep breath.

Jin Shunying said somewhat embarrassedly, "I just said it offhand."

It must have been just a casual remark. The master has a rule: come on the 6th and leave on the 7th. It's already the evening of the 7th. How could he wait until now for Jin Shunying's wish?

But Li Banfeng still hesitated. "Let's postpone the operation until tomorrow."

D

The plan came as a surprise, but Jin Shunying didn't ask any questions and immediately agreed.

On the evening of the 8th, Li Banfeng and Jin Shunying arrived at the construction site on the east side of the village.

The construction site is currently still in the demolition phase. A compensation agreement was reached with the villagers and construction had already started, but some changes in funding later caused the project to stop, and the site has been abandoned ever since.

Jin Shunying lit the incense and candles, which she made herself using high-quality ingredients. This was her unique method of summoning souls and also one of the hunting costs for the ghost hunters.

Li Banfeng walked around the construction site but didn't find anyone else.

When Li Banfeng returned to Jin Shunying's side, he found that there were already many dead spirits near the incense and candles.

Despite her nonchalant tone, she had actually made thorough preparations. The information she had gathered was bought by Jin Shunying at a high price. The other party received enough money and kept the information from spreading, which ensured that there would be no other competitors at the construction site tonight.

More and more spirits gathered near the incense and candles, and some that seemed to lack sentience were driven away by Jin Shunying.

For the remaining souls who still possessed some intelligence, Jin Shunying released two Ghost Servant to screen them.

The selection process is simple: those who can exchange a few blows with the Ghost Servant prove they have combat power and can be kept.

If you encounter Ghost Servant and are completely terrified or unable to react, drive it away immediately.

A spirit that can fight to a draw or even have a slight advantage over Ghost Servant should be dealt with with caution, because Jin Shunying doesn't know if she has the ability to control it.

Watching the battle between the Ghost Servant and the dead, Li Banfeng knew very well that the dead soul of that high-level martial artist was definitely not among them.

The souls were almost completely filtered out. Only one soul could barely hold its own against the Ghost Servant. Jin Shunying took him in and drove away the other souls.

Jin Shunying checked the time; it was already past midnight.

The incense and candles had burned down to more than half their value; any spirits that could be summoned should have arrived long ago, and that high-level fighter...

Perhaps he's too high-ranking to show up, or maybe he's simply not in this area.

The information she had obtained at a high price had gone down the drain, leaving Jin Shunying somewhat frustrated. The Ghost Servant she had captured was worth less than the cost of incense and candles.

Having been a hunter for so many years, he was used to this kind of thing. After packing his things, Jin Shunying was about to leave when she suddenly realized that Li Banfeng was gone.

Li Banfeng heard some noise.

Someone walked towards the incense and candles, but suddenly stopped halfway there.

The sound of bricks and stones rubbing together was very faint, but the Thread-Pulling Earring could hear it very clearly.

Following the sound, Li Banfeng heard intermittent singing. "I am Your Guokui, though cheap as can be, it can fill your stomach."

"Master, it's him." The Thread-Pulling Earring identified the voice, confirming that the person was indeed Chu Zikai.

Chu Zikai was using his Sound Cultivation Technique.

Li Banfeng fully mobilized the resistance of the House Cultivator, and with the shielding of the Thread-Pulling Earring, he minimized the impact of the Sound Cultivation Technique.

When they reached a place where Chu Zikai could be vaguely seen, Li Banfeng witnessed the battle between him and the ghosts.

Chu Zikai was still dressed as a boatman, wearing a coarse cloth vest, a straw hat and a mask, and used his singing to control the souls of the dead in the rubble.

The departed soul seemed bound by the song, yet its feet were still struggling on the rubble, which was why Li Banfeng could hear a faint scraping sound.

As Chu Zikai sang, he took out a cloth bag, intending to collect the wandering soul.

He seems to be really short of money; he not only actively participated in business but also in hunting.

The bag opened its mouth towards the spirit, and the spirit's outline became slightly distorted.

He's about to receive the goods.

Li Banfeng certainly couldn't let him take away the spirits of the dead. He opened his throat, adjusted his breathing, and let out a low, long howl.

This kind of sustained note may seem to require little technical skill, but it can easily lead the singer astray.

Chu Zikai is a voice cultivator in the clouds, so he shouldn't be afraid of such interference.

But the technique Li Banfeng borrowed was fierce enough that after two long howls, Chu Zikai really went off-key.

When the singing goes off-key, the binding force is greatly reduced.

The undead trapped in place suddenly regained their mobility, kicking out a pile of bricks that flew towards Chu Zikai.

"Buzz!"

Chu Zikai also let out a low groan, and the bricks and stones in front of him shattered layer by layer, turning into dust.

It must be broken into extremely small pieces, otherwise every piece of broken brick or tile thrown by the opponent could become a top-tier weapon.

The attack by the undead was not over yet; he continued to throw bricks and stones at Chu Zikai.

Chu Zikai dared not be careless in the slightest, and kept using his Sound Cultivation Technique to turn the bricks and stones into dust.

As the dust accumulated, Chu Zikai realized that the situation had changed.

The figure of the dead disappeared.

When the spirit reappeared, carrying a brick, it was already beside Chu Zikai.

Chu Zikai exclaimed in admiration, "What a devil! I didn't expect you to have such good skills, and you even brought a good helper with you."

The praise was tinged with sarcasm. Chu Zikai kept his eyes on the brick in the undead's hand; he was already on guard.

No matter what kind of weapon the undead turn this brick into, Chu Zikai has a way to deal with it.

At the same time, Chu Zikai also began to be wary of Li Banfeng lurking in the shadows.

"Who are you calling an evil spirit?" the spirit retorted, its tattered clothes falling apart.

This time, Chu Zikai was caught off guard.

The tattered threads pierced Chu Zikai's body, and the spirit asked, "Do you recognize you, Lu Erye?"

Lu Erye...

Li Banfeng recalled the contract from the Wizarding Association that summoned the undead, the last sentence of which described a handsome man from Old World.

This translation may be incorrect. As Public Security Team Zhuang Shuxing said, after going through three, five, seven, or eight turns, the meaning has become distorted by the end.

The man they summoned was not a handsome man, but a man named Jun.

This is the crux of the matter: how exactly was Lu Dongjun summoned?

Where was Lu Dongjun's spirit before?
