Inner State People's Bloodline Seeds

He Jiaqing pressed himself against the wall, his eyes fixed on the corner, wary of a sneak attack, and also ready to launch one at any moment.

After a few seconds of stalemate, He Jiaqing realized that his tactics were wrong.

Given the opponent's speed, they are likely a Travel Cultivator. Leaning against the wall to guard against Travel Cultivator is obviously pointless.

He Jiaqing knew nothing about Li Qi. He was more than capable of dealing with cultivators on the ground, but he seemed inexperienced when facing opponents in the clouds.

By the time he realized the problem, Li Banfeng had already passed through the wall Unimpeded Travel and was standing in front of He Jiaqing.

Li Banfeng swung his sickle down at Li Banfeng's face, and at the same time, the projector jumped out of his pocket and took its position.

He Jiaqing couldn't care less about the projector; he had to dodge the sickle and keep his eyes on Li Banfeng to prevent him from suddenly disappearing and using Ride a Horse and Admire Flowers.

The thief reacted quickly; He Jiaqing ducked to dodge the sickle and used a pointed ring to stab Li Banfeng in the throat.

In close combat when cultivation levels are similar, the key to victory for the thief cultivator and the Travel Cultivator lies in who can seize the initiative.

Li Banfeng dodged the thrust, but He Jiaqing swept his wrist to slit Li Banfeng's throat. He had the upper hand now and should have pressed forward relentlessly, not giving Li Banfeng a chance to breathe.

Call!

A gust of wind whistled past my ear.

He Jiaqing hurriedly dodged, but still took a knife to the back.

Does the other side have accomplices?

In fact, Li Banfeng had no help; that attack was delivered by Shadow with Tang Blade.

Li Banfeng used the technique of "Shadows Pitying Each Other," which allows the shadow to move independently, preventing Li Banfeng from using any techniques. This is why he chose to fight with weapons.

He Jiaqing was terrified. He had encountered an opponent of similar cultivation level and was facing a situation where he was fighting against many. He Jiaqing immediately changed his tactics and, relying on his agile footwork, tried to circle around behind Li Banfeng.

Going around to his back is a good option; it allows him to escape quickly and prevents Li Banfeng from locking onto him.

You can also buy yourself some time by launching a sneak attack from behind.

Li Banfeng saw through He Jiaqing's intentions and kept changing his footing to prevent He Jiaqing from launching a sneak attack from behind.

Logically, if you can tell that the other party is on guard, you should change your tactics. But He Jiaqing is very persistent, as if he is following a certain procedure, and he insists on circling behind Li Banfeng.

Seeing He Jiaqing's persistence, Li Banfeng negotiated with him for a while and then took out the key from his pocket.

If you want to go around in circles, then go ahead and go around in circles.

Li Banfeng twisted his wrist behind his back and opened the door to Portable Abode's room.

Seeing that Li Banfeng paused slightly, He Jiaqing quickly seized the opportunity, slipped behind Li Banfeng, and stepped into Portable Abode.

Of all the opponents Li Banfeng encountered, many came to visit him, but this one was the most proactive.

Didn't He Jiaqing see the door in front of him?

He didn't see it; the projector had obscured their figures beforehand and altered part of the surrounding scenery, creating concealed combat conditions for Li Banfeng.

Upon entering the room of Portable Abode, He Jiaqing was stunned, the record player was stunned, and Hong Ying was also stunned.

He Jiaqing didn't know where he was or why he had entered the room.

He Jiaqing had walked this street twice and was quite familiar with it. When did a room appear next to the coffee shop on this street corner?

The record player stared at He Jiaqing for a moment, feeling that he looked somewhat familiar.

She had seen He Jiaqing's photo in the newspaper before, but it was an early photo, and he looked a bit younger.

The record player asked, "Are you a friend of my husband?"

He Jiaqing didn't know the origin of the record player, but he could sense that the other party was no ordinary person. He clasped his hands in a salute and said:

"What is your husband's name?"

The record player said, "His Li Qi, do you know him?"

Li Qi naturally recognized him; he was a key figure. According to He Haiqin's description, Li Qi should be Li Banfeng, who was the holder of the Li Banfeng Mystic Life Crimson Lotus.

Of course, that was in the past. The Red Lotus has now been taken by Outer State, and it is unknown who it ended up in.

He Haiqin once said that He Jiaqing and Li Banfeng had some past grievances. Should he now admit his identity?

He Jiaqing was still hesitating when the record player instructed Hong Ying, "Go and bring that bitch Red Lotus over. Tell her her old flame has arrived."

A woman with an indescribably beautiful figure and an indescribably gorgeous face brought the Red Lotus closer.

Mystic Life Crimson Lotus!

He Jiaqing was overjoyed!

This is the right place!

He Jiaqing clasped his hands and said, "Sister-in-law, I am Li Qi's brother. I have come today only to borrow Red Lotus for a while."

The record player laughed, "Red Lotus, your old flame has come to pick you up."

Mystic Life Crimson Lotus gently unfolded her lotus leaves, seemingly sizing up He Jiaqing.

She spoke first, "Jiaqing, do you still remember Teacher Song?"

Teacher Song?

He Haiqin never mentioned it.

"I remember, he was my mentor, how could I forget?" He Jiaqing followed up with a flattering remark.

Red Lotus then asked, "Have you met Teacher Song's wife?"

"I met her once," He Jiaqing continued, "And my teacher's wife treated me very well."

Red Lotus said to the record player, "This is not He Jiaqing."

He Jiaqing scoffed, "What are you saying?"

The record player laughed and said, "Girl, you'd better watch out. If this weren't He Jiaqing, it would have become our sisters' meal."

Red Lotus laughed too, "What are you saying? Even if he were He Jiaqing, wouldn't he end up as food on the plate if he entered this house? Teacher Song is a beautiful young woman, what kind of 'teacher's wife' is this?"

The record player roared, "I knew my mentor was a slut!"

He Jiaqing realized something was wrong and turned to run out the door.

He tugged at the door for a long time, but it wouldn't budge.

The record player was still angry, muttering incessantly, "I knew this woman surnamed Song was no ordinary person. Just her talent alone was enough to make that madman lose his mind. Tell me, isn't she pretty?"

Red Lotus thought for a moment, "How can we compare? If we're talking about your appearance in life, she can't compare. But if we're talking about your appearance now—"

The record player's voice trembled slightly. "What's wrong with how I look now? Didn't that madman say he wouldn't mind?"

Hong Ying chimed in, "Xiao Wan, don't be angry anymore. Don't listen to Red Lotus gossiping!"

He Jiaqing was stunned for a moment. He wondered if he had overreacted. It seemed that no one in the room cared about him.

Since no one cares, there's no need to be polite. He Jiaqing looked around and found that there were two more doors in the house, one on the opposite side and the other against the wall.

Having identified the direction, He Jiaqing rushed forward, grabbed Red Lotus with his left hand, and pushed open the door to the second room with his right hand holding a fan.

Squeak~

The door opened.

When!

The fan fell to the ground.

He Jiaqing was startled. How could the fan have fallen?

This was his life; he never let go of this fan.

He Jiaqing looked at his bare wrist and then understood why. It turned out that the fan hadn't left his hand; his hand had just fallen to the ground.

Hong Ying chopped off "He Jiaqing's" right hand, picked up the fan from the ground, removed "He Jiaqing's" palm, and examined it carefully. "What kind of treasure is this? Why do you keep holding it?"

He Jiaqing tried to snatch the fan back, Hong Ying stepped back into the second room and waved to He Jiaqing, saying, "I'll walk backwards. If you can catch me, I'll give the fan back to you!"

Despite the excruciating pain, He Jiaqing desperately chased after Hong Ying, who had been relocated from the second wife's residence to the third wife's residence.

Red Lotus shouted, "You bitch, stop playing around and save me first!"

Hong Ying laughed and said, "Why would I save you? This person looks so much like your lover. While my husband is away..."

You two should get some affection.

Hong Ying chatted as she backed away, and He Jiaqing, despite using all his strength, still couldn't catch up.

They ran all the way to the Eighth House, and seeing that Hong Ying was slowing down, He Jiaqing felt that he could catch up with Hong Ying now.

He mustered all his strength, took a step forward, slipped, and fell to the ground.

He fell hard, and it took He Jiaqing a long time to get up. Red Lotus was also taken away by Hong Ying.

A voice came from inside the house. "This puddle of water was splashed just right."

There was a Calculation Cultivator living in the Eighth House. This Calculation Cultivator was subdued by Hong Ying and was now at her beck and call.

In a situation like the one just now, Hong Ying was fighting someone else, and she didn't need to be asked to help; the Eighth House's Calculation Cultivator would volunteer to assist her.

He accurately calculated Hong Ying's stride and pace, as well as He Jiaqing's stride and pace. He then made some adjustments to the furniture arrangement in the Eighth House, allowing He Jiaqing to step onto the puddle.

Hong Ying, holding the Red Lotus and Folding Fan, continued to tease He Jiaqing: "The fan is in my hand, and your lover is in my hand. Keep chasing him, it's rare to find some fun."

After saying this, Hong Ying left the Eighth House and entered the Seventh Chamber.

He Jiaqing could see the vast difference between himself and this indescribable woman.

This woman could kill him at any time; she only kept him alive for her own amusement.

If you want a quick and painless death, you don't actually need to chase after them.

But the fan was in her hand.

That's the logic, but understanding it clearly and being able to accept it are two different things. How can any living creature not try to survive?

He Jiaqing caught up with the Seventh Chamber, Hong Ying still wanted to tease him, but suddenly the record player shouted, "You slut, have you had enough? Bring Red Lotus back first, I have questions for her!"

Judging from her expression, she probably wanted to ask about Teacher Song. Since Xiao Wan had thrown such a tantrum, Hong Ying didn't dare to delay and quickly carried Red Lotus back to the main room.

He Jiaqing watched helplessly as Hong Ying walked further and further away, the fan drifting further and further away from him, and his body becoming increasingly sluggish.

I can't move.

That's it—

He Jiaqing's thoughts came to a standstill.

Hong Ying carried Red Lotus to the record player, who said fiercely, "Tell me, what kind of relationship does that slut surnamed Song have with my husband?"

Red Lotus said, "She was Li Banfeng and He Jiaqing's teacher. She and He Jiaqing are innocent, but I can't say for sure what she had to do with Li Banfeng. After all, I didn't recognize this madman at the time."

"Was that person really not He Jiaqing?" the record player asked sharply.

Seeing his imposing manner, Red Lotus was also somewhat frightened. "Would I lie to you? He doesn't even know if Teacher Song is a man or a woman, it definitely can't be true—."

"Who knows what you two are really trying to say with those flirtatious glances? Yingying, go and bring that person here. I want to ask him myself!"

Hong Ying grabbed her fan and hurried to find "He Jiaqing," only to find him lying motionless in the Seventh Chamber.

"Xiao Wan, what's wrong with him—" Hong Ying didn't dare to act rashly; she could tell that He Jiaqing's condition was not right.

It was also noticeable that Zhao Xiaowan's emotions were not quite right.

Back in the military, once Zhao Xiaowan got really angry, everyone else had to be extremely careful in everything they did.

"Useless! I asked you to bring someone over, why is it so difficult!" Zhao Xiaowan entered the Seventh Chamber and slapped Hong Ying with a board. The slap hurt, and Hong Ying rubbed it for a long time.

The fan got closer to "He Jiaqing," and after a moment, "He Jiaqing" gradually began to react.

His body began to rise and fall, as if he could breathe again.

The fluctuations became more and more pronounced, suggesting that it was more than just panting.

The record player asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

Hong Ying observed for a moment, then quickly found an iron chain and restrained He Jiaqing: "Oh no, this guy's going to explode!"

"It exploded?" The record player didn't understand why it had exploded.

Hong Ying tightened the chains and said, "I'm absolutely certain. This man is about to explode. He's like someone who's been hit by Ride a Horse and Admire Flowers. Ask him what you need to know. He won't last much longer."

The record player asked, "What's your name?"

He Jiaqing replied, "My name is Qiu Daoyu."

The record player then asked, "Why are you impersonating He Jiaqing?"

"To Upper Clan People."

Are you from Inner State?

"Yes, I am now Upper Clan People."

Zhao Xiaowan didn't quite believe the man's words. People from the Inner State shouldn't be this size; they were much larger Pro State.

How did you change your appearance?

"Put it in the stove to burn."

Not only did he have to change his appearance, he also had to learn He Jiaqing's characteristics and habits.

How did you find out about He Jiaqing's past?

"He Jiaqing, He Haiqin's father, taught me little by little."

That makes sense, He Haiqin came from Inner State.

"What task did your people give you?"

"Use He Jiaqing's identity to seize control of the Bai Le Men."

Where is He Jiaqing?

"I don't know, I haven't found him—" Qiu Daoyu's voice grew weaker and weaker.

"How many of your people have changed their appearance?"

"There were a hundred people who went into the furnace with me. They all died, and I was the only one who was refined. I have the highest cultivation level and the toughest body..."

Hehehe~

The chains rattled, and Hong Ying shouted, "Xiao Wan, I can't hold on any longer! This guy's about to explode! We have to get out of here!"

Zhao Xiaowan said, "Let him bomb, why should we retreat?"

Hong Ying said, "This force is different; it's bound to explode fiercely and might hurt us. Let's leave him here and let the old man deal with him."

Just as the two were about to leave, they suddenly heard a voice come from the Seventh Chamber: "No, we can't blow it up here!"

The passenger in Seventh Chamber spoke up, reminding Zhao Xiaowan, "If he blows it up here, this room is doomed. He's going to blow up the soul, not the body. If you eat his soul, he won't be able to blow it up."

Hong Ying refused, saying, "What if we eat him and he explodes inside Xiao Wan's stomach?"

The record player retorted, "Nonsense! How can you let it explode in your stomach? Get out of here!"

Hong Ying retreated to a distance, watching as Qiu Daoyu's body slowly swelled up.

The record player inserted two styluses into Qiu Daoyu's body, and the three speakers simultaneously emitted steam.

Before long, Qiu Daoyu's body stopped swelling, and the record player retracted its stylus.

"Xiao Wan, how are you?" Hong Ying walked over and looked at her with concern.

The record player wasn't working, but there was a rattling sound coming from the front cabinet.

"Xiao Wan, say something, don't scare me, Xiao Wan-- " Hong Ying fumbled for the record player, her voice trembling.

Mouth~

"Don't touch my belly!" The record player pushed Hong Ying away and walked around the Seventh Chamber twice.

"Xiao Wan, what are you doing—"

"Gurgle, gurgle—" the record player finished its performance and exclaimed, "This saury is even tastier than a toad!"

Hong Ying let out a long sigh and sat down in the chair, "Xiao Wan, did you really scare me to death?"

"Don't be scared, don't be scared, hurry up and eat the meat, this is definitely from the Inner State!"

Hong Ying looked at the corpse, which had swollen beyond recognition. "Really? I'll try it."

"Don't eat them all. All the family members have gone to war with my husband. Leave some for them, and also leave some for this brother in the Seventh Chamber."

Hong Ying took a bite of the flesh and exclaimed, "It tastes better than that clam! Seventh Chamber branch, what's your name?"

The room responded, "If I knew the name, would I still be living like this, neither human nor ghost?"

The record player said, "With such good eyesight, you were able to identify the source of the explosion. You must be a cultivator." "Probably. Over the years, I don't even remember which sect I belong to."

The record player chuckled, "It's alright if you don't remember. Take your time to think about it. There's still a long life ahead of you. Look after each other. Yingying, don't forget to leave a copy for the Eighth House as well."

Hong Ying was in charge of serving the dishes, while the record player picked up Qiu Daoyu's fan. "This craftsmanship is extraordinary; there's more to it than meets the eye."

"There's definitely something fishy about this. Could it be that people from Inner State have been eating too much?" Hong Ying looked up at the record player and said, "Xiao Wan, I feel like my lips are a bit off."

"Nonsense, you don't have any lips."

"It seems like she is pregnant."

The record player spun around the large speaker and examined it closely. "You know what, you really have to believe it—"

Originally, there were only two eyes on the gun barrel, but now there's actually a mouth below the eyes.

The record player exclaimed, "Yingying, you've gained another source of business!"

"Is this land really going to be given to me?" Chu Er wasn't quite convinced; she didn't believe Li Qi would treat her so well.

"I've already brought it to you, of course it's for you. You were the first person I thought of, no one is more suitable than you."

Say what you just said again.

Li Banfeng thought Chu Er hadn't heard him clearly, so he deliberately slowed down his speech. "No one is more suitable than you."

"I mean, repeat the previous sentence."

"You're the first person I thought of."

Chu Er looked at Li Banfeng, sniffed, his lips trembled for a moment, and then he actually cried out.

"Why are you crying?" Li Banfeng, puzzled.

Chu Er wiped away her tears. "I've known you for so long, and this is the first time I've heard you say you miss me."

Miss you?

This is somewhat different from thinking of you, isn't it?

Just as Li Banfeng was about to correct his wording, he saw Chu Er holding up two deeds and saying, "If I take these deeds, won't I become Local Earth God? If I clear all the wasteland, won't I become the Proper Land Local Earth God?"

"That's right!" Li Banfeng nodded. "Do you know how many people want this land? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

"I know you're good to me, and I'm sincere to you too," Chu Er said, head down and face flushed. "But I don't know if I have the ability. I'm afraid I can't protect this territory."

"What's there to be afraid of? We have our Second Aunt backing us up!"

"Bitter Granny can't take care of me forever. Speaking of which, He Jiaqing came to see me earlier, probably about this land too, right?"

"That's impossible." Li Banfeng shook his head. He wanted to give the land to Chu Er, and apart from him and Qiu Luoye, no one else knew about it. He Jiaqing couldn't possibly have received the news either.

"And I don't think that person is He Jiaqing."

Chu Er said, "Why not He Jiaqing? I've known him since I was a kid. That bastard has been ruthless since he was a child. I think he is He Jiaqing."

Li Banfeng said, "Think about it carefully. If He Jiaqing really wanted Bai Le Men, would he take action himself? He has a lot of businesses, all of which are supported by Shen Rongqing and Duan Shuqun. When have you ever seen him show his face on his own initiative?"

"He's still wanted by Outer State. Would he dare come directly to your door and steal your business? If the Guanfang Hall finds out, Liao Zihui will have to send people to arrest him. Even if he can stop the Guanfang Hall, doing so is far too risky."

Chu Er nodded. "Seventh Brother is right. Now that I think about it, that person really doesn't look like He Jiaqing."

"Hiss!" Xiang Fenglan gasped from the side.

They said yes just now, but they've changed their minds in the blink of an eye.

Just now, the phrase "Seventh Brother is right" didn't sound like it came from Chu Er's mouth.

"Senior Sister Xiang, go check on Old Yang and Hong Yan." Chu Er glared at Xiang Fenglan. "Seventh Brother and I have something to discuss."

Xiang Fenglan sneered, "Are you here to discuss something or to get things done? I'll just watch from the sidelines, is that not allowed?"

Li Banfeng stood up and said, "Everything has been said. Hurry up and bury the deed and take back the land. You come from a wealthy family, so you know how to handle certain things."

After saying that, Li Banfeng turned to leave.

Chu Er was reluctant to part with Li Banfeng and tugged at his sleeve. "You must come and visit me often. Of all the people in the world, I miss you the most."

Xiang Fenglan lowered her head and said, "Not necessarily. I heard that Jiang Mengting is sick and Song Festival in a row. If you don't go to see her, she might be gone."

"I'm going to take a look at Carefree Dock." Li Banfeng left the Chu family mansion.

Chu Er, the vicious wolf, glared at Xiang Fenglan: "You slut, how did you know Jiang Mengting was sick? Did Ma Wu tell you? I'm going to tell my mother-in-law about this in a bit!"

Li Banfeng went to Carefree Dock. Ma Wu was chatting with two girls when he saw Li Banfeng arrive. Ma Wu quickly introduced them, "Seventh Brother, these are two new acquaintances, one A'Chun and the other A'Se."

These two close friends, with green flames around them, were clearly not from the mortal realm.

However, Li Banfeng was not surprised. To Ma Wu, the so-called difference between humans and ghosts was a trivial matter not worth mentioning!

He went to find Jiang Mengting was indeed ill and looked extremely haggard.

Li Banfeng brought water and medicine to Jiang Mengting, taking good care of her.

The two girls continued to pour out their sorrows to Ma Wu.

A'Se sighed softly and said, "Fifth Son, we two are unlucky. We became servants with Xiu, and we are punished for the slightest mistake. I don't know how long we will have to live like this."

Ma Wu said solemnly, "Don't worry, ladies. Now that you've met me, Ma Junyang, these hard times are over. Tomorrow I'll talk to your master and have him write a document to give you two to me."

A'Se held Ma Wu's hand tightly. "Fifth Young Master is such a good person!"

A'Chun stopped Ma Wu's hand. "Fifth Young Master is indeed kind, but what are we sisters doing here?"

A'Se replied naturally, "Is that even a question? Of course, I came here specifically to visit the Fifth Young Master."

A'Chun blinked and said, "Really?"

A'Se was silent for a moment: "Right—"

A'Chun looked at Ma Wu: "Fifth Young Master, was that Seventh Young Master Li Qi who just passed by?"

Li Banfeng looked at A'Se's painting and saw clearly the entire process of Sun Tiecheng interrogating Huang Zenan, a man from Inner State.

Painting Cultivator is not a projector, A'Se does not have the same high level of skill as Mu Yuejuan. The whole picture is not very realistic, but the meaning is clearly expressed.

A'Chun said from the side, "Young Master Li, City Lord Sun told you to be very careful. He also specifically mentioned Zhang Gunli's abacus, saying that it was very peculiar and that our master went to Black Stone Slope to find Tang Shijiang to study it."

Li Banfeng recalled the details of his battle with He Jiaqing.

He Jiaqing held a Folding Fan in his hand the whole time, but the Folding Fan did not serve as a weapon or magic weapon.

What is he going to do with the Folding Fan?

Is it used for the same purpose as an abacus?

In Black Stone Slope, a businessman is worried about land. The land he bought is too small, and there is not enough space for his factory and equipment.

On a friend's recommendation, he hired an experienced engineer for help. The engineer was wearing overalls, a hard hat, and was tall and burly with a full beard and glasses that didn't quite match his appearance.

He doesn't seem to have anything special about him, but little do people know that this is Tang Shijiang, the Local Earth God of Black Stone Slope.

He has several identities in Black Stone Slope, one of which is an experienced engineer. In addition, he is also a bricklayer, a laborer, a fitter, a chef, a newspaper editor, and a magazine model.

Tang Shijiang stared at the blueprints for a long time, then shook his head.

The factory space is simply not enough.

The steam engine was the constant power source in Pro State. Its complex steam-water circulation system resulted in its large size, which meant that the factory could not house all the equipment.

The issue of size was an insurmountable obstacle for steam engines. Tang Shijiang conducted extensive research on this topic, but with little success.

The merchants had no choice but to pay more to buy the land.

Tang Shijiang was helping him revise the drawings. The pencil twirled twice in his hand before Tang Shijiang tucked it behind his ear.

He left the factory and went to the wall, asking, "Senior, were you looking for me?"

Gui Jianchou laughed and said, "Don't call me 'senior,' there's no need to be so polite between us."

"Us?" Tang Shijiang didn't think he and Gui Jianchou had such a deep relationship. "What do you need me for?"

Gui Jianchou took out an abacus and handed it to Tang Shijiang, saying, "Take a look at this and see what it is."

Tang Shijiang held the abacus, gently shook it, and watched the movement of the beads. Tang Shijiang gaze became increasingly profound.

After observing carefully for two hours, Tang Shijiang moved six abacus beads. As soon as the six beads moved...

The other beads also started moving.

Gui Jianchou didn't understand engineering or repair, nor did he know the principles behind this thing.

Ghost Servant A'Tie exclaimed in admiration, "He actually saw through it! He really did see through it!"

Tang Shijiang shook his head and said, "I've only figured out the mechanism, not the power source. This is a treasure, a rare treasure."

"It is indeed a treasure. The Work Method of Inner State is truly remarkable," Portable Abode exclaimed, then said to the record player, "Girl, pull the third fan rib upwards a little, but don't use too much force."

The record player gently lifted the fan ribs.

Hiss!

A sharp whistle rang out.

A wisp of white mist flew out.

The record player exclaimed in surprise, "This fan... is it a steam engine?"

"That's right," Portable Abode laughed. "Girl, I finally know what Bloodline Seed the people of Inner State have. No wonder they're all so big!"
