Radish Mountain
In the dark and cold cave, Tangyuan set up a pile of firewood and poured oil onto the firewood with Light Bulb.
"Water it more, this firewood is hard to start!"
The Light Bulb protested, "Are you burning firewood or me? This is my blood, don't you know that?"
The fire was lit, and the two men shivered inside the cave.
Tangyuan sighed and said, "I wonder how Seventh Master is doing."
The Light Bulb shook its head and said, "It's not easy to find food here. I estimate that Seventh Master may not be back before dawn."
At Three Heads Junction, the wind and snow were heavy, and it was colder than anywhere else in Pro State. Tangyuan came to the cave entrance with concern and looked out.
The Light Bulb urged Tangyuan to hurry back into the cave, "Don't get so close to the entrance! Have you forgotten what Seventh Master told you? Getting blinded by the sunlight will kill you!"
The Tangyuan and Light Bulb are on Radish Mountain, because the shape of the mountain resembles half a radish stuck in the ground.
According to the records of the Dark Star Bureau, the frequency and intensity of the skylight were low in the Three Heads Junction and Radish Mountain areas. Many people settled in the surrounding area, and several villages were even formed.
However, even though some people settled down there, food was hard to come by.
I tried knocking on a Light Bulb and asking for directions, water, or firewood. Those were all fine, but if I asked for food, even if I offered to pay for it, the person across the street would immediately close the door.
They managed to get on the train early in the morning, and now it's evening and they haven't eaten much; they're both really starving.
The Light Bulb complained, "I don't know what I was thinking. Why did I listen to you? You said we should just fill out a business trip application form and say we're coming to Pro State with Seventh Master. Would Director Chen refuse? We could have just come legitimately, right? Why did we have to make such a fuss!"
Tangyuan got angry too. "How many times do I have to tell you before you understand? You just say it's a business trip, that's not a valid excuse. What are we going to Pro State for? To spy on Seventh Master?"
The Light Bulb shook its head and said, "Just find any excuse to come out with Seventh Master."
Tangyuan frowned and said, "That's why you're so clueless! You told the bureau you were on a business trip, and then you stayed in Pro State and didn't go back. Do you know what that means? That's called defection, you know? Have you thought about the consequences? Your family will be implicated. Don't you consider any of that?"
The Light Bulb lowered its head and said, "Now my family won't be implicated?"
Tangyuan poked at the fire. "We've already submitted our resignations, so we're no longer considered part of the Dark Star Bureau. We won't face any punishment for coming to Pro State!"
The Light Bulb snorted and said, "You just got poked off a train with a pole, and you still say you won't be punished?"
Tangyuan threw down the fire poker. "How can this be the same? This is because we entered Pro State illegally without Travel Permit, which has nothing to do with anything else. Besides, the train conductor didn't know our identities. Even if this is investigated, it won't be traced back to us!"
The Light Bulb still seemed a little aggrieved. "I just felt..."
Tangyuan was too lazy to explain, "You don't need to feel that way. I haven't even complained about you yet. Just wait a little longer in the luggage compartment until we reach the Three Heads Junction, then you can come out. You won't be stuck here!"
"I was worried that Seventh Master would get off at Three Heads Junction, so I rushed over to check on him. If I had known the journey would be this difficult, we would have chosen a different time..."
"I think we came out at the perfect time. If you regret it, hurry back to Yuezhou, go back and cry to Director Chen, and you'll still be able to keep your job."
The Light Bulb shook its head and said, "I don't regret it. I sincerely followed Seventh Master out to make my way in the world."
"Then stop talking so much!" Tangyuan went to the cave entrance again, looking at the wind and snow outside the cave, feeling a pang of sadness in her heart.
Despite her sharp Light Bulb, she felt somewhat guilty. Coming to Pro State to follow Li Qi was her own choice, but she hadn't expected that it would lead to Li Qi jumping off a train.
It was freezing cold, and Tangyuan felt a pang of heartache thinking about how Li Qi had been trekking through the snow to find food for them.
"My dear husband, would you like some more hot water?" The record player tested the water temperature in the bathtub, but it still felt a little too hot.
Li Banfeng wasn't picky. He stretched in the bathtub and said, "The water temperature is fine as long as it's warm enough. It's just that my shoulder is still a bit sore."
The record player scolded Hong Ying, "I asked you to massage a shoulder, and you can't even do it properly!"
"I pinched it..."
"My husband also said it was sour, couldn't you hear him?"
Hong Ying pouted and then massaged Li Banfeng's shoulders. Li Banfeng felt something was missing. "It's so cold, it would be nice to have a cup of hot wine."
Hong Ying shouted, "Little Jiuer, go heat up the wine for Seventh Son!"
Ninth Girl was washing clothes when she got up, threw down the washboard, and went to heat up wine for Li Banfeng.
The wine was warmed, Ninth Girl served it to the table with a disgruntled expression.
Hong Ying retorted angrily, "Who are you trying to impress with that long face all day? You don't like it when I say something to you?"
The two fought the day before yesterday, Ninth Girl lost to Hong Ying. Under the witness of Tang Blade, the two signed a contract. For three months, Ninth Girl would obey Hong Ying's every command and would not utter a single complaint.
Back in the Ninth Room, Ninth Girl was sulking when Copper Lotus laughed and said, "Oh dear, you've really become someone's little wife now, don't you feel ashamed at all?"
Ninth Girl retorted angrily, "Isn't it all because you created this useless body of yours? Otherwise, would I have lost to that blockhead Hong Ying?"
Red Lotus sighed, "I made you a useful body before, but why didn't you like it?"
"That's a man's body! You did this just to disgust me!"
"Wanting to be a woman, wanting to be beautiful, and wanting to be a strong fighter—aren't you being a bit too greedy?"
"So what if I'm greedy? We're sisters, shouldn't you take care of me a little?"
The two were arguing when Li Banfeng, wearing a bathrobe, entered Ninth Room.
Red Lotus chuckled and said, "Jiuer, you'd better go wash up. Judging by this, he might be coming to consummate your marriage with you."
Jiuer was startled and genuinely a little scared.
Li Banfeng reassured her, "Jiuer, I'm not here to see you, I'm here to see Red Lotus."
Jiuer glanced at Red Lotus and said to Li Banfeng, "Shall I take her to wash up?"
Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "Whether I wash them or not doesn't matter. I just came to see how Du Wenming's two knives are coming along."
Du Wenming has two excellent knives; no matter where he cuts, he can cut a person in two.
Li Banfeng originally intended to keep the pair of knives, but after trying them out, he found that they weren't very useful.
First of all, this knife is dependent on cultivation level. When testing the knife at the Hundred Demons Workshop, those with low cultivation level could indeed cut it in two, but those with high cultivation level could only be cut in half. A cut on the chest could leave a large wound on the waist, causing damage comparable to a scythe, but not as good as Tang Blade.
This is normal. Whether it's a magic weapon or a weapon, you have to consider the opponent's cultivation level when facing different enemies.
But the key point is that these knives are not easy to use. Their design is very unique. They are not good at stabbing or slashing, but they are good at moving and rotating with the body. In short, the knife is fixed in the hand and moves with the body.
This weapon was clearly tailor-made for Du Wenming and was definitely not suitable for Li Banfeng. Li Banfeng simply sent it into the Red Lotus to be remade. According to the Copper Lotus's estimate, it should be ready to be taken out of the pot today.
Li Banfeng carried Red Lotus to the main room, and in front of everyone, Red Lotus gave birth to a Lotus Seed.
The Lotus Seed landed in Li Banfeng's palm, and the whole family watched intently as Lotus Seed burst open.
Click~
The Lotus Seed opened, and out came a beautiful, shimmering silver object.
This is a nice little thing, round and heavy in your hand. The word "Pro" is engraved on the front, and a snowflake is engraved on the back.
"Isn't this a silver coin?" Hong Ying exclaimed with delight. "Seventh Son, our Red Lotus can mint silver coins now!"
Li Banfeng was also happy. Only Peddler could make silver coins, but now he could too.
He took the silver coin, blew on it, and then listened to it.
It makes a sound!
The real deal!
Li Banfeng laughed and said, "We've struck it rich this time! We have our own silver dollars now!"
Tang Blade was also very excited. "From now on, we won't lack money. We can forge as many as we want!"
Hong Ying nodded and said, "The design of this silver dollar needs to be changed. Don't mint it with snowflakes anymore!"
Tang Blade nodded and said, "General Hong is right. I think we should mint our lord's portrait on silver coins from now on. These coins will be called 'Seventh Big Head'!"
Everyone exclaimed in approval, "Seventh Big Head is great! From now on, let's call him Seventh Big Head!"
The phonograph player asked from the side, "Husband, Du Wenming's pair of knives must have cost more than one silver dollar, right?"
Li Banfeng laughed, "Definitely more than that! These two knives alone could fetch at least ten thousand silver dollars!"
The room remained quiet for a long time.
Li Banfeng walked to the wall, picked up the train conductor's iron rod, and with a smile, approached the Copper Lotus: "You definitely have more than one silver dollar, Hua Jiuer. Let's not joke around. I'm talking to you seriously."
Copper Lotus said, "There is indeed only one silver dollar."
Li Banfeng raised the iron bar. "Think about it again."
Red Lotus hid behind Ninth Girl: "Listen to me first, this isn't like ordinary silver dollars, it's made of silver!"
Li Banfeng said with a ferocious expression, "Which silver dollar isn't made of silver?"
As she dodged, Ninth Girl shouted, "Don't hide behind me! What does this have to do with me? Seventh Brother, it was that bitch Red Lotus who lied to you, it has nothing to do with me!"
Red Lotus explained, "This silver dollar is heavy; it can hit someone!"
Li Banfeng chased after Red Lotus, yelling, "Why are you using silver dollars to hit people? I can hit people with a rock just as well!"
Ninth Girl covered her head and said, "Aim carefully, don't hit me!"
Red Lotus circled around Jiuer, shouting as she ran, "This silver dollar recognizes its owner! After you spend it, it can come back to you. And if it's in someone else's hands, it can even fight for you!"
If Smiling Thousand Hands steals this silver dollar, he'll suffer a great loss. This silver dollar, like a knife, can cut through anything if you cut it in the right place.
Upon hearing that this silver dollar was designed to target Smiling Thousand Hands, Li Banfeng's anger subsided considerably. He took the silver dollar, sat down next to the lotus flower, and asked, "Tell me, what do you mean by 'suitable place'?"
Red Lotus said, "For example, if this silver dollar were to cut a gash in someone's palm, that person's entire hand would fall off their wrist."
Li Banfeng asked, "What if they cut off the forearm?"
"That depends on the opponent's cultivation level. If the opponent's cultivation level is very low, you can cut off wherever you want."
If one's cultivation level is decent, they can sever an entire arm, or even a forearm. It depends on the silver dollar's intentions and the orders you give him.
If the enemy's cultivation level is very high, and the silver coin can't cut off his arm, it will try to cut off his fingers by the root.
Li Banfeng understood what Red Lotus meant.
The most notable feature of Du Wenming's pair of knives is their ability to cut a person in two, but the actual effectiveness of the strike depends on the opponent's cultivation level.
This silver dollar retains its slashing ability while also possessing the ability to select suitable targets.
But if it has the ability to choose, it proves that the money has a spirit.
Where does this spirituality come from?
The phonograph's horn pointed towards the Copper Lotus.
Red Lotus quickly explained, "His spirituality is something he was born with. I don't eat raw food, so I can't remove his spirituality."
The record player didn't believe it. "When I brought these knives back, I personally inspected them. They were a pair of top-quality weapons, without any spirit within them. How can you change your mind now?"
Red Lotus was a little angry. "Why would I lie to you about something like this? Do you think I would give this silver dollar a spirit? What good would that do me?"
I suspect that these knives possess Self-Born Spirit, or perhaps it went unnoticed before, or maybe it was simply a product of a time when civilization hadn't yet developed. You can investigate their origins yourselves.
If you really feel it's superfluous, then just consume this spiritual essence; it's not difficult for you.
"If you consume the spirit, this silver dollar won't be of much use," the record player said, picking up the silver dollar with a stylus and handing it to Li Banfeng. "Husband, it's up to you how to dispose of it."
Li Banfeng took the silver dollar, pondered for a moment, and handed it to the gloves. "Will this keep out of reach?"
The man in the gloves took the silver dollar, shook his index finger at Li Banfeng, and said, "Don't worry, sir. I can't speak for other things, but this one will definitely be safe. I'll teach him some manners later."
With the weapon forged, Li Banfeng then took out a bottle of Snow Cream: "Could you help me forge this?"
Red Lotus glanced at it. "This is Peddler's Snow Cream, used to block out sunlight. What are you going to use it to make?"
"We're still making Snow Cream, but we hope that the resulting product won't be too toxic."
When they first ventured into Elbow Mountain, the Peddler gave Li Banfeng this bottle of Snow Cream. Three people used it: Lu Qianjiao, Che Wushang, and Li Banfeng himself.
When they used this Snow Cream, the three of them were very cautious. They dared not use too much, for fear of being poisoned.
Even with their cultivation levels, they might not be able to withstand the poison. If this Snow Cream were applied to the Light Bulb and the Tangyuan, they would die instantly.
Red Lotus stroked the Snow Cream bottle with her lotus leaves. "This stuff is not easy to refine. The toxicity has been reduced, and the resistance is also lower. I'm afraid it may not be able to protect against the sunlight."
The record player asked, "My lord, where are your two subordinates?"
Li Banfeng said, "Radish Mountain at Three Heads Junction."
The record player thought for a moment and said, "Little Slave know this place. It's one of the few peaceful areas in Three Heads Junction. Many body cultivators come from here. In this place, the resistance of the Snow Cream doesn't really need to be too strong."
Red Lotus trembled, her lotus leaves quivering, and she didn't rush to act. "Have you thought this through? This is not something you can afford to gamble on."
As Li Banfeng was considering his options, the record player asked again, "Do these two subordinates have any cultivation?"
"One is close to the third floor, and the other is the fifth floor."
Sizzle~
The record player chuckled, "I thought it was White Lamb, which indeed couldn't withstand it. But with this level of cultivation, it's not a problem. Even if someone is occasionally exposed to sunlight, as long as they receive proper treatment, they shouldn't die."
"My husband is right. A slightly lower resistance is fine. Let Red Lotus refine half of the Snow Cream for them. My husband can keep the other half for later."
Without asking any further questions, Red Lotus refined half of the Snow Cream, put it in a small iron box, and handed it to Li Banfeng.
The record player asked, "My dear husband, what brings you to Three Heads Junction this time? You don't mean you want to fight the Innocent Army again, do you? If so, Yingying and I need to get ready for battle."
Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "As long as I don't encounter the Innocent Army, I definitely won't fight them. I came here this time to see the origins of the body cultivators."
To be honest, I'm really not familiar with Daoism. I don't know why some people can turn into spiders, others into elephants, and still others can't turn into anything at all, yet one ended up as Three-Headed People. There must be a lot of knowledge behind this.
The record player said, "There are probably not many people who can understand the intricacies here. Since you are going to stay at Three Heads Junction, you must be very careful."
Li Banfeng took a few cans of food with him and went out. The record player glanced at Red Lotus and said, "A pair of good knives can be forged into a silver dollar. Red Lotus, it seems you've collected quite a few materials from here."
Red Lotus chuckled, "These little scraps are just odds and ends; it's a waste to throw them away. I might as well keep them myself. Why would I, elder sister, hold such a grudge against my younger sister?"
Ninth Girl glared at Red Lotus: "You just offended Seventh Brother, why are you hiding behind me? You almost got beaten up by him."
Red Lotus turned the lotus leaf towards Ninth Girl: "What's wrong with you? He hit you, so you hit him back! When did you become so afraid of him?"
Hong Ying also felt something was off. "Yes, when did you become afraid of Seventh Son?"
Jiuer retorted angrily, "Why should I be afraid of him? What's his cultivation level? I usually get along quite well with him, and I don't want to fall out with him."
Jiuer stormed back to the Ninth Room in a huff, Red Lotus sighed, "I can't go back to the Ninth Room. I'll stay in the outer room."
Li Banfeng gave the canned food to the Light Bulb and the Tangyuan. The Light Bulb ate it greedily, while the Tangyuan was reluctant to be touched.
"What are you waiting for?" Li Banfeng thought Tangyuan wasn't hungry.
"Seventh Master, have you eaten?"
"I've already eaten!"
"Seventh Master, you're lying to us. You don't eat any yourself, you save it all for us, how can we possibly eat?"
After Tangyuan said that, the Light Bulb couldn't stay on, and Tangyuan didn't dare to eat it anymore.
Li Banfeng frowned and said, "Where did you learn all this from? The fact that I'm giving you food proves that I'm definitely full. Hurry up and eat something, then take a nap and continue your journey tomorrow morning."
The Light Bulb asked, "Where are we going tomorrow?"
"Go to the Guanfang Hall and find someone to take you away from Three Heads Junction."
"Seventh Master, where are you taking us?"
"Send him back to the Dark Star Bureau and back to work."
Tangyuan shook her head and said, "We're not going back. We're staying with you. We've already submitted our resignation to the Dark Star Bureau."
Li Banfeng laughed and said, "So what if I submit a report? It doesn't count for anything to me!"
Tangyuan lowered her head and said, "Seventh Master, we really want to follow you to make our way in Pro State."
"If you want to follow me, then follow me openly and legitimately. What's with this sneaking around?"
Tangyuan shook her head and said, "If we still retain our status Outer State, we can't legitimately follow you. If the higher-ups give us a mission to stab you in the back, who are we supposed to listen to? So this time, we must sever all ties with the Dark Star Bureau!"
Li Banfeng nodded slightly.
In his memory, Tangyuan had always been someone who tried to avoid conflict.
Judging from what she said today, when she can face the contradictions squarely, she can see them very accurately.
After resting in the cave for the night, Li Banfeng handed the Snow Cream to Tangyuan and Light Bulb the next morning. Once everything was ready, the three of them set off, walking along the mountain path towards the village at the foot of the mountain.
Unlike the situation at Elbow Mountain, we didn't see many Three-Headed People near Radish Mountain, but we saw quite a few normal people.
Before they even reached the village, an old woman cried out from the roadside, "Help me! Save my life..."
The three of them turned around and saw the old woman say again, "Is there any kind person who can give me something to eat? I haven't eaten for two days and I really can't take it anymore."
Tangyuan glanced at the Light Bulb, but the Light Bulb ignored him. If he really had the ability, he would be willing to help the old lady, but he only had one can of food left, which he was saving for lunch. In this situation, he really couldn't help her.
There were three cans of Tangyuan left; two were given to Li Qi, and one was kept for herself.
She wanted to give her canned food to the old lady, but then she thought that Seventh Master hadn't eaten anything last night, just to leave them a little more food. If she gave the canned food to someone else now, she would really be letting Seventh Master down.
While she hesitated, she suddenly saw Li Banfeng looking at her and saying, "Tangyuan, give me a can of tangyuan."
Tangyuan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly gave Li Banfeng a can of food.
Seventh Master is a good man; we must never forget that.
Li Banfeng handed the can of food to the old lady. "Auntie, eat up."
The old lady accepted the canned food and thanked her repeatedly.
Li Banfeng led the two of them towards the village. They hadn't gone far when the old lady caught up from behind.
His legs are in good shape and his stamina is quite good; he doesn't look like he's been starving for two days.
"Three kind people, where are you headed?"
Li Banfeng pointed to the village ahead. "We're going to rent a house in the village."
"Why are you renting this place?"
"We think this place is nice, and we'd like to settle down here."
"Who are you trying to fool?" the old woman chuckled. "You want to join the Daoist sect, don't you? Otherwise, who would want to settle down in Three Heads Junction?"
Tangyuan said, "Grandpa, you've misunderstood. We didn't come here to..."
Li Banfeng waved his hand, signaling Tangyuan to be quiet, then turned to the old lady and asked, "How did you know we wanted to enter the Daoist sect?"
The old lady smacked her lips. "I don't know, I can't see anything. If you don't believe me, just pretend you never met me. If you do believe me, I'll show you the way."
Li Banfeng was quite curious. "What directions are you referring to?"
The old woman lowered her voice and said, "Do you want a legitimate Daoist sect, or do you want two more heads?"
Li Banfeng Orthodox God and said, "Of course I want a proper Daoist sect."
The old woman pointed to the village ahead and said, "Do you think that by finding a place to stay in Three Heads Junction, you can become body cultivators? Let me tell you, if you three White Lamb stay in this village for a few days, each of you will grow three heads."
"I see you're all quite old, and dressed very properly. Don't you understand any of the rules of Daoism? To join Daoism, you need medicinal powder. Without it, aren't you just waiting to turn into a three-headed monster?"
"Physical cultivation requires medicinal powder?" Tangyuan's eyes widened. Before coming to Pro State, she had done her research and had gathered a lot of relevant information.
For body cultivation, you don't need medicinal powder; you just go to the Three Heads Junction and gamble on luck. There are more than one document in the Dark Star Bureau that mentions this.
The old woman waved her hand, turned around and left. "Young lady, I can tell you just don't believe me. Never mind, forget I said anything. The day you really grow three heads, you'll know you've regretted it."
Li Banfeng stopped the old lady. "Grandma, she's just a young girl and doesn't understand. We really want to join the Daoist sect, but you know, if we had the money to buy medicinal powder, we wouldn't be here at Three Heads Junction!"
The old lady nodded. "That's a serious statement. Let me tell you, in Three Heads Junction, the Daoist medicine powder isn't bought with money; it's obtained through sincerity. As long as you find the right path and meet the Grandmaster of body cultivation, you can obtain the medicine powder."
Tangyuan was even more confused. Three Heads Junction had Grandmaster of body cultivation?
Moreover, the medicinal powder in Pro State was all bought from Peddler, yet the Grandmaster body cultivation could still give away medicinal powder?
Li Banfeng clasped his hands in a respectful gesture and said, "Old man, please show me the way."
The old woman sighed deeply, "I've been starving for two whole days, and you're the only ones who gave me a bite to eat. It must be fate that we have this connection. Come with me."
Li Banfeng thanked her repeatedly and left with the old lady.
Tangyuan sensed something was wrong, but then she saw that the Light Bulb had followed her.
She tugged at the Light Bulb turned around and whispered, "What are we doing here?"
What brings you here?
Follow Seventh Master!
The Light Bulb tossed its head at Li Banfeng: "Follow Seventh Master!"
Since we've joined Seventh Master, we naturally have to trust Seventh Master; that's not wrong.
The three of them followed the old lady for quite some time. The old lady sighed and said, "We just ate something, and now they've all gone out."
Li Banfeng turned to Tangyuan and said, "Get me another can of food."
The old woman accepted the canned food and sighed again, "I have something to eat now, but my husband at home is still hungry."
Li Banfeng reached into his pocket and touched his gloves.
The man handed the silver dollar to Li Banfeng: "Boss, I just chatted with him. This kid's pretty savvy. Which one do you want? Tell him first."
Li Banfeng uttered a single word: "Hand".
The old woman was taken aback. "Young man, what did you mean by 'hand'?"
Li Banfeng laughed and said, "I'm a bit short on cash and don't have much on me. How about I give you a silver dollar?"
He gave the old lady a silver dollar.
Tangyuan sensed something was wrong and said to Li Banfeng, "This money..."
She felt that the money shouldn't have been given.
Li Banfeng laughed and said, "It's nothing, I just wanted to test how well this money works."
The old lady accepted the silver dollars, her expression slightly regretful. "This amount of money is indeed not much. When you buy medicine powder outside, it costs several hundred silver dollars per person, not even counting the expenses for accumulating Dao Affinity."
I found you a great opportunity, and this is all you give me? Oh well, I won't hold it against you. We've been connected by fate, so even a little something is a token of my appreciation.
The old lady led the three of them forward, and after walking a short distance, they saw the young man.
"Come, come!" The old lady beckoned to the young man, "These three are going to find the Patriarch of Body Cultivation, you take them there."
The Light Bulb lowered its voice and said, "Driver!"
Tangyuan didn't know what a driver was. It was a trick used by rickshaw companies to cheat customers. To put it simply, Lao Zhang would take the customer halfway, collect the fare, and then give the remaining half to Old Chen to take over.
Old Chen denied everything halfway through the journey, saying that what happened before had nothing to do with him, and demanded an extra fare from the passenger.
Back then, when the Light Bulb was swindled out of all he had left in Blue Poplar Village, he was left with only his boxer shorts. He'd been to a bandit stronghold and even been a bandit's wife. What hadn't he seen? This little trick couldn't possibly fool him!
Unexpectedly, this trick fooled Li Banfeng.
Li Banfeng led the two people, said goodbye to the old lady, and continued walking with the young man.
Sure enough, the young man hadn't gone far when he came back to Li Banfeng asking for money again.
"Hey you three, I'm not out doing charity. It's freezing cold, and I'm giving you directions. Shouldn't you give me some money for my trouble?"
"No problem." Li Banfeng patted his pocket; the silver dollars were back.
He wiped the blood off the money with his gloves and handed the silver dollars to Li Banfeng.
Li Banfeng said to the young man, "I'm short on cash, here's a silver dollar, is that alright?"
"When people come to see the Grandmaster body cultivation, they should bring at least ten or eight dollars. You only have one dollar... Never mind, for the sake of the old lady, just make do." The young man took the dollar and continued walking with the three of them.
Tangyuan finally understood that Li Banfeng had other tricks up his sleeve.
The Light Bulb couldn't resist joking, "Seventh Master, it's already two silver dollars, it seems like this deal has gone wrong."
Li Banfeng laughed and said, "No loss, we made a profit. This silver dollar will be very useful."
In the snow, an old woman lost a hand right off her shoulder.
Blood kept flowing, and she lay on the snow, screaming.
"Help me, save my life..."
The wind was strong, and no one heard her cries for help until she was buried by the heavy snow.
PS: Was the Grandmaster of body cultivation really at Three Heads Junction?
The title of the new volume is "Loss and Gains".
