Seamless Heavenly Garment

After communicating with the vase for more than half an hour, Li Banfeng finally managed to pull his head out of the vase.

Comparing the diameter of the bottle opening to the diameter of his own head, Li Banfeng truly couldn't understand how his head had gotten in and out.

He tried to communicate with the vase using his Discern Spiritual Sounds Technique, but after talking to it for a long time, he received no response.

During the process of the promotion, Li Banfeng was certain that he heard the voice of the vase, judging from that sentence at the time.

The vase really does have a good expressive ability.

Is she simply refusing to speak, or is Li Banfeng unable to understand her?

Or are there any special circumstances during the general promotion process?

Putting aside the matter of conversation, Li Banfeng, having gained some control over the vase, said, "Wife,"

"Can Counting Family Treasures about, also be used outside the house?"

"It can be used, but it depends on where it is used. The closer to the house, the easier it is to perform the techniques. Our house is special. If you practice diligently, you will be able to perform many more techniques."

Li Banfeng carried the vase out of the Portable Abode, patted its belly, and said gently, "Let's see it fly."

The vase floated with difficulty on the edge of the swamp, its flight height less than ten centimeters. It lasted for more than twenty seconds before landing in the mud.

Li Banfeng picked up the bottle and carefully wiped away the mud.

The results were not ideal. This is not because the bottle did not work hard. There is a door inside and outside the house, and for House Cultivator, the intensity of the technique changes greatly.

After returning the bottle to the house, Li Banfeng went back to the Flower Immortal Manor.

Ma Wu sat in the hall, interrogating the women of the estate one by one. Those who harbored ulterior motives were all taken away for individual admonishment.

Li Banfeng summoned Feng Daiku and asked, "Where is Hua Manchun's contract hidden?"

Feng Daiku exclaimed in surprise, "Hua Manchun is dead?"

Li Banfeng nodded. "I killed him, and his territory is now mine."

Feng Daiku was overjoyed, but she really didn't know where Hua Manchun's contract was hidden.

This is troublesome. Hua Manchun left in such a hurry that she didn't have time to tell us the location of the contract. Finding the contract in such a large place as Flower Immortal Manor will be quite difficult.

Li Banfeng and Feng Daiku separately. Feng Daiku was Proper Land Local Earth God and a neighbor of Hua Manchun, so she relied on her experience to find the contracts.

Li Banfeng relied on his gloves, his fast pace, and his ability to ride the wind, so Li Banfeng flew and ran, searching bit by bit in the Hua Manchun area.

But the gloves weren't cooperating today. After leaving Portable Abode, they were always timid and hesitant, spending most of their time in Li Banfeng's pocket, not even daring to show their heads.

Li Banfeng patted his gloves. "Brother, what's wrong? Are you sick?"

"I'm not sick, but I always feel anxious. I'm fine when I'm at home, but as soon as I go out, I feel uneasy even with my five fingers on my body."

After searching for a whole day, Li Banfeng and Feng Daiku still couldn't find the contract, but Ma Wu made some progress.

He brought a woman named A'Xi, who looked to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old and was quite pretty. However, when she was serving Hua Manchun a wash, she accidentally took the wrong soap, which angered Hua Manchun. Hua Manchun banished her from the mansion and sent her to the mountains to do heavy work such as chopping wood and carrying water.

A'Xi recounted a past event to Li Qi and Feng Daiku: "At the beginning of the year, Miss Feng came to the village..."

"When we discussed the border issue with the manor lord, it seems he was taken advantage of and said Miss Feng should compensate him."

Feng Daiku remembered this incident and said with a sigh, "Hua Manchun is shameless. I still grit my teeth with anger when I think about it. He robbed me of more than eighty li of land and made me redeem it with human energy, and then claimed that he was taken advantage of."

I gave him a lot of kindness, and he only returned half of the land to me. He claims there are still Red Kudzu there and refuses to give me the other half. Can you believe how disgusting that person is?!

Ma Wu said to A'Xi, "Tell me what happened next again."

A'Xi said, "The next day I went up the mountain to chop firewood and encountered a bear. The bear had only one leg and it wanted to eat me. I ran for more than ten miles. The bear wasn't fast, but it kept chasing me."

Later, I couldn't run anymore, so I grabbed a machete and fought it. The bear was so strong that it knocked the machete out of my hand.

My hand was cut and bleeding quite a bit. It was sticky, and as I bent down to pick up the wood-chopping knife, a feather stuck to my hand.

The feather, stained with blood, instantly caught fire. The fire burned eerily, as if it would engulf my entire body. Terrified, I threw the feather away, and the bear ran away in fright.

Feng Daiku, "Was that feather from your master's fan?"

"It looked familiar to me; it should be from his fan. I went up the mountain later to see if the feather was still there, but I couldn't find it after searching for a long time."

Feng Daiku said to Li Banfeng, "Things have aligned. I promised to give Hua Manchun the popularity points, but he said he doesn't want to eat them right now and wants to store them in Local Earth Seal. He asked me to bring the popularity points back the next day."

The next day when I went to see him again, I did see his Local Earth Seal; he must have just gotten it from the deed.

The sequence of events is clear: Hua Manchun went up the mountain to retrieve the Local Earth Seal, but accidentally lost a feather, which saved A'Xi's life.

Li Banfeng and Feng Daiku followed A'Xi up the mountain and found the place where the feathers had been found. Feng Daiku looked around and deduced several possible locations in the mountain where the contract might be hidden. Li Banfeng, wearing gloves, searched the area.

The contract was quickly located.

Hua Manchun's contract was hidden under the riverbed of a small river in the mountain stream. Li Banfeng dug up the contract and the Local Earth Seal, and first looked at Hua Manchun's past.

Hua Manchun's reputation is well-deserved; the contract records nineteen battles fought by Local Earth God, in which Hua Manchun lost five but won the remaining fourteen.

However, all five of these battles were lost to the same person, Green Water Bow.

No wonder Hua Manchun's gaze softened so much when Green Flower were mentioned.

Feng Daiku fought Hua Manchun three times and lost all three times, ceding more than a thousand square kilometers of land to Hua Manchun.

Li Banfeng first registered Hua Manchun's deed under his own name, and then drew up a deed to return all the land that Feng Daiku had ceded.

Feng Daiku didn't know how to thank Li Banfeng: "Young Master Li, it was my own incompetence that caused me to lose this territory, and I dare not ask for it back."

"If you were to give me a hundred or two hundred li of land now, I would consider it an effort I made and shamelessly accept it. But you've given me over a thousand square meters of land; how could I possibly accept it!"

"It's your land to begin with, what's there to be afraid of taking? If anything happens to the Flower Immortal Manor in the future, I'll have to rely on you and Lao Wu to help me out."

This was the first time Li Banfeng had taken over land in front of others; Feng Daiku and Ma Wu both witnessed it.

Li Banfeng wasn't worried about the two spreading the news. If Snowflake Port dared to retaliate, Li Banfeng would deal with them one by one.

Now that the residences and traveler's homes are all on the Cloud Above Second Layer, Li Banfeng no longer worries about the backlash from his cultivation, so he simply takes over the popularity of the Flower Immortal Manor first.

There was quite a lot of stock in the Local Earth Seal, and it took Li Banfeng about ten minutes to collect it all.

Li Banfeng felt refreshed and walked around the Flower Immortal Manor several times, familiarizing himself with the area and honing his skills.

Not only do you need to practice the Counting Family Treasures" and " Riding the Wind and Driving the Clouds," but you also need to practice "Shadows Pitying Each Other" diligently. Li Banfeng's greatest hope is that "Shadows Pitying Each Other" can be combined with the Fool Cultivation Skill," so that you can fight and deceive without neglecting either. This is the real key to victory.

But then I thought, both House Cultivator and Travel Cultivator are constantly advancing, while foolish cultivators are not making any progress. Would this bring backlash?

Should I go see Senior Brother Sun and learn a couple more techniques?

Sun Tiecheng clasped his hands together and squatted down next to the Copper Lotus: "Brother, you didn't do this fairly. You promised three Profound Essence Pills, but you only gave me two. What does that mean?"

The Red Lotus leaves trembled, as if they were speaking. Sun Tiecheng listened for a moment, then frowned and said, "What? You need additional ingredients? Iron Tendon Bamboo shoots? These are hard to get on Bitter Mist Mountain!"

As he spoke, Sun Tiecheng looked at Gui Jianchou.

Gui Jianchou quickly said, "City Lord Sun, you can have both Profound Essence Pill. I don't need them."

"How can that be!" Sun Tiecheng took out a Profound Essence Pill and stuffed it into Gui Jianchou. "A'Gui, this pill is yours. We'll keep our word. We'll have to trouble you to make a trip to Bitter Mist Mountain."

"This won't do!" Gui Jianchou returned the pill to Sun Tiecheng. "I really dare not go to Bitter Mist Mountain."

"What are you afraid of?"

"Xu Han is guarding Medicine King Gully. If I go up Bitter Mist Mountain, do you think he'll let me off the hook?"

"What are you afraid of him for?"

"Why shouldn't I be afraid of him? You should know what he's capable of. If he were to use even a little force, I might not even come back alive. And you still want me to get some Iron Tendon Bamboo?"

"You're not going, are you?" Sun Tiecheng said angrily.

Gui Jianchou shook his head like Pellet Drum: "I really can't go. If you're angry, just kill me. I'm going to die either way, so dying at your hands will at least make me feel better."

Sun Tiecheng scratched his head and said, "That old bastard Xu Han isn't exactly clean."

He turned to Red Lotus: "It has to be bamboo shoots from Iron Tendon Bamboo, is anything else acceptable?"

Red Lotus made some sounds as if in response, Gui Jianchou Red Lotus hear a little bit of her voice, but he couldn't make out what she was saying.

Sun Tiecheng then looked at Gui Jianchou: "His explanation doesn't make sense, and you have no room for negotiation either?"

Gui Jianchou lowered his head and said, "Everything else can be discussed, but I definitely won't go to Bitter Mist Mountain."

Sun Tiecheng got angry. "If you don't go to Bitter Mist Mountain, you're staying home!"

"I'll squat down then!" Gui Jianchou squatted down on the ground, and squatted very steadily.

"Don't get up until I come back!" Sun Tiecheng stormed off.

"I won't get up!" Gui Jianchou was a man of principle. He squatted at the door and refused to get up, quietly watching Sun Tiecheng walk away.

At the Bitter Mist Mountain, crowds gathered. Qiu Zhiheng, dressed in a short-sleeved shirt and carrying a medicine basket, was preparing to go up the mountain to collect herbs.

Qiu Zhiheng's business has grown bigger and bigger, and he already has three pharmacies in Medicine King Gully. In principle, he doesn't need to personally handle the task of collecting herbs, but the herbs to be collected today are very special. The Blood Skin Apricot ripe.

Blood Skin Apricot is a medicinal herb produced in Bitter Mist Mountain. The peel of this fruit is blood-red, but the flesh is white. Eating the dried flesh can cure various internal injuries.

Apricot kernels are extremely bitter, but eating them can detoxify. Even some unique poisons used by poison cultivators can be neutralized by the kernels of the Blood Skin Apricot Kernel.

The most valuable part is the peel. The peel can stop bleeding and replenish blood. For people who have lost too much blood due to external injuries, as long as they are still alive, applying the peel to the wound can stop the bleeding. Eating two pieces of peel can also replenish the blood.

Blood-skin fragrance is far more valuable than Snake Spot Chrysanthemum, and it is also much rarer. It can only be found in the deep mountains. Low-level cultivators dare not take the risk, and high-level cultivators are unwilling to risk their lives for it. Therefore, major pharmacies can only rely on their own experts to go up the mountain to collect herbs.

Qiu Zhiheng's wife was worried. "Zhiheng, if you ask me, we shouldn't go. It's not worth it for a few apricots. Let's go to Green Water City and look again. Maybe we can buy a few more."

I've searched all over Green Water City, but I ca Blood Skin Apricot.

Qiu Zhiheng wouldn't be willing to take the risk just for the sake of the pharmacy business. He picked the apricot seeds this time for Yao Lao. Yao Lao has been getting better recently. Eating more apricot peels to replenish his blood might help him wake up.

"Go back and look after the pharmacy. I'll definitely be home before dark." Qiu Zhiheng pinched his wife's chubby cheeks, then carried the medicine basket up the mountain.

On Bitter Mist Mountain, thick fog never dissipates throughout the year. Qiu Zhiheng is an eighth-level cultivator of Joy Cultivator. Before reaching the halfway point, the fog's effects on him were still within a tolerable range. However, after passing the halfway point, the fog became increasingly dense, and Qiu Zhiheng had to use his Joy Cultivation Technique to mobilize his blood and detoxify himself.

What's even more difficult is that from five or six meters away, everything is bright white, and you can't see anything clearly.

How can we gather herbs in such thick fog? We can't even see where the apricot trees are, so where are we supposed to find the seeds?

Qiu Zhiheng has a solution.

He took out a budding apricot tree from his pocket. He had bought this apricot tree; it was the only one he could buy in the entire Green Water City.

The flowering period of the Blood Skin Apricot is very short. When picking apricots, some people also pick some apricot buds and sell them to the Herb Cultivator in Green Water City. The Herb Cultivator preserve the apricot blossoms, and the fresh apricot blossoms can be made into a top-quality spice, which is priced similarly to apricots.

Qiu Zhiheng cut his palm and sprinkled some blood on the budding flower. The budding flower slowly bloomed, and a refreshing fragrance drifted into the distance.

The fragrance of these flowers doesn't drift on the wind; it drifts with a purpose and a direction.

Joy Cultivation Technique, Lonely Seeking Mate.

Qiu Zhiheng used his own blood to give the apricot blossoms a strong desire to mate. As the pollen drifts, it will rely on its powerful instincts to actively seek out the location of the Blood Skin Apricot Tree.

Qiu Zhiheng relied on his sense of smell and followed the fragrance of flowers, walking dozens of miles along the mountain path.

As they approached a forest, the fragrance of flowers grew stronger, and Qiu Zhiheng knew he was not far from the apricot trees.

If we can find just one apricot tree, we'll have succeeded today. Each tree has at least a hundred apricots, enough for Yao Lao to consume, and we can keep some for ourselves in case of emergency.

Qiu Zhiheng quickened his pace and walked a few more miles before suddenly stopping. Someone was following him, and had been following him for almost half an hour.

Eighth-level Joy Cultivator are virtually unmatched among ordinary people, but on Bitter Mist Mountain, Qiu Zhiheng must proceed with caution. The dense poisonous fog will severely weaken his combat power, and different sects have vastly different resistances to the poisonous fog.

If Qiu Zhiheng encounters a poison cultivator, even if the opponent is only at the sixth level, he must plan his escape route before engaging in combat.

Qiu Zhiheng stopped, and the person behind him also stopped. After a moment of stalemate, the person finally came up.

"Boss Qiu, I've been following you all this way. I originally wanted to take advantage of you to find some good stuff, but I'm too embarrassed to ask."

Approaching him was a middle-aged man in his fifties, tall and thin, with a face full of wrinkles, wearing a satin long gown.

Qiu Zhiheng couldn't recall where he had seen this person before, so he simply asked, "What's your name?"

"Mr. Qiu, don't you remember me? My name is Fan Zhongfu. I bought medicine from your shop yesterday."

Qiu Family Business's Pharmacy serves many customers every day, and Qiu Zhiheng is not at the counter most of the time. Even if this person really came to buy medicine, he would not be able to remember.

But since the other party had brought it up, Qiu Zhiheng still replied, "Mr. Fan, it's a pleasure to meet you. Are you here today?"

What kind of medicinal herb are you looking for? If it's one that I recognize, I can give you directions.

Fan Zhongfu said, "This is my first time in Bitter Mist Mountain. I don't know what good medicinal herbs are here. What kind of herbs are you collecting? I'll follow you."

If you've found anything good and have some to spare, I'll gather some too. If you really don't have any, I won't dare ask you for any; I'll just consider it an opportunity to learn something from you.

That's pure nonsense.

If you're talking about going to the fields to farm and learn from experienced farmers, that's perfectly reasonable.

This is Bitter Mist Mountain. Why would someone go up the mountain aimlessly, risking being poisoned, just to broaden their horizons? How could such a statement fool Qiu Zhiheng?

Qiu Zhiheng put the flowers into the basket and looked at Fan Zhongfu, saying, "Mr. Fan, please tell me the truth, what exactly do you want to see me about?"

Fan Zhongfu smiled and said, "Haven't I already told you everything? I'd like to learn how to gather herbs from you."

Qiu Zhiheng shook his head and said, "I'm not gathering herbs anymore. I'll head down the mountain right now. Is there anything else?"

Fan Zhongfu was silent for a moment before saying, "Since you're not going to gather herbs anymore, let me ask you something else. Do you know someone named Li Qi?"

"I know him," Qiu Zhiheng nodded. "What do you need him for?"

Fan Zhongfu said, "It's nothing serious. I'm from Snowflake Port, and he has a bit of a grudge against us. I wanted to ask you, if you send him a message and ask him to come to Medicine King Gully, would he be willing to come?"

"That depends on what I need him for."

"Just tell him it's a matter of life and death," Fan Zhongfu thought for a moment. "Or you could just be more direct and tell him that if he doesn't come, you'll be dead, and your whole family will be dead."

Qiu Zhiheng's eyes twitched, and he prepared to use his technique, but before he could exert any force, his technique was interrupted.

His short-sleeved shirt suddenly tightened, making it hard for Qiu Zhiheng to breathe.

"Don't be foolish," Fan Zhongfu without making any move, yet he could manipulate Qiu Zhiheng's clothes at will. He was a high-ranking clothing repairman. "I don't want to kill you, and I don't want to kill your family. I just want to bring Li Qi here; there are some things I want to ask him to clarify."

"As long as you have a good relationship with Li Qi, and as long as you can invite Li Qi to Medicine King Gully, we can discuss anything."

Qiu Zhiheng used Joy Cultivation Technique on himself, forcing himself to become excited. His upper body muscles swelled rapidly, trying to burst through his short shirt.

But this ordinary short shirt, made of ordinary fabric, now seemed to have been reinforced with steel bars and iron, and no matter how hard Qiu Zhiheng exerted himself, it did not break in the slightest.

Fan Zhongfu patted Qiu Zhiheng's face. "Steward Qiu, you've been with the Lu Family for so many years, you should at least have some insight. I mentioned the name Snowflake Port, and you still don't know the depth of this place?"

"If I say even one more word to you, it's because I respect you. I've patiently advised you, so why are you still so ungrateful? Your whole family's lives are in my hands. I only need to lift a finger—"

"Are you here to gather herbs?" a middle-aged man asked, approaching the two. "Does anyone know where the Iron Tendon Bamboo is?"

The man looked to be in his fifties, dressed in coarse cloth, his face covered in dust and sweat, and he had an honest and simple appearance.

The man appeared silently in front of him, making Fan Zhongfu somewhat wary. He chuckled and said, "You're looking for Iron Tendon Bamboo? I know where it is. Come closer, and I'll tell you."

The man put his hands together, walked up to Fan Zhongfu, and listened carefully.

Fan Zhongfu tugged at the man's clothes and pulled out a loose thread. "Your clothes are too tattered, the fabric is all frayed."

The middle-aged man chuckled sheepishly, "I'm not picky about what I wear. As long as I have some clothes, I'm fine. These clothes look a bit worn, but they're very warm—..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fan Zhongfu pulled his wrist back.

The middle-aged man's clothes immediately tightened, turning into a ball of yarn the size of a fist.

The man's entire body was constricted inside the ball of thread, a grown man compressed to the size of a fist, with blood gushing down the threads.

Fan Zhongfu held the ball of thread, played with it for a moment, and then smiled at Qiu Zhiheng, saying, "This technique is called 'Seamless Heavenly Garment.' This ball of thread is like a seamless heavenly garment; it can trap you inside, and it can also trap your wife and children inside."

"Once you crush all the bones, flesh, and internal organs, you'll have just one big lump. It could fit all the hundreds of people in your pharmacy. If you don't believe me, we'll test it on Steward Qiu. I've got you covered. If you don't, I can explain it to you in another way."

Qiu Zhiheng remained silent, still wanting to fight to the death. The disparity in strength between them was so vast that he knew even if he yielded...

Fan Zhongfu would not let him off the hook either.

Seeing that Qiu Zhiheng was still resisting, Fan Zhongfu searched Qiu Zhiheng's body for a moment and found a loose thread. "This is a loose thread from your clothes. As long as I pull this thread, your clothes will tighten up and become as big as a ball of yarn, squeezing your whole body into this ball."

Don't worry, you won't die. I'll keep your head so you can see your wife one last time.

If you listen to me and obediently bring Li Qi here, then our matter today—"

"You're looking for Li Qi?" The middle-aged man stood behind Fan Zhongfu, arms crossed. "What do you want with him? Tell me, I'm very familiar with Li Qi!"

Fan Zhongfu looked at the ball of thread in his hand. The ball of thread was very heavy and was still bleeding.

He glanced at the middle-aged man behind him; the man was honest and unharmed.

If the middle-aged man is still behind us, then who is the person inside this ball of thread?

Fan Zhongfu couldn't understand it, so Sun Tiecheng thought for him, "If I said the person in this dumpling is yourself, would you believe me?"

PS: Fan Zhongfu is about to usher in a highlight moment in his life.
