Li Banfeng changed into a guard's uniform and quietly entered the medicine warehouse, where various medicinal herbs were stacked high on the shelves.

He didn't recognize the medicinal herbs or the finished medicines. The herbs in the large sacks were probably not worth much, so Li Banfeng didn't want them. The bottles and jars were probably full of good stuff, so Li Banfeng carried them all into Portable Abode.

There was a locked wooden box, and it was estimated that the most valuable items were inside, so Li Banfeng accepted it.

Seeing Li Banfeng bring back a bunch of stuff, and the record player spewing out a puff of steam, he felt quite disgusted.

After emptying the medicine storeroom, Li Banfeng went to the front counter and found 83,218 yuan in cash and 126 silver dollars, which he then put into Portable Abode.

After packing up most of the things, Li Banfeng returned to the Watermelon Man's room, picked up some more watermelon flesh, swallowed it, and dragged a burlap sack out from the corner of the room.

The sack contained brown granules with a pungent, fishy smell.

This is fertilizer for the Watermelon Man. Li Banfeng doesn't know where it comes from, but he knows what it's used for.

He fed the fertilizer into the Watermelon Man's mouth, and the originally dull Watermelon Man's eyes widened, turning him into a murderous figure.

Li Banfeng smells like watermelon from the inside out, Watermelon Man treat him like one of their own.

Li Banfeng gave the order, "Kill!"

More than twenty Watermelon Man walked out of the house and into the yard in neat rows.

A dozen or so guards were sleeping in a side room of the pharmacy when, with a loud crash, the door was kicked open and more than twenty Watermelon Man walked in.

A guard rubbed his eyes and saw a group of Watermelon Man enter the house. He shouted, "Something's wrong! Quick..."

He shouted those three words, and a Watermelon Man chopped off his head with a knife.

The guards were all awakened, and the timid ones, not understanding what was happening, were immediately hacked to the ground by the Watermelon Man.

The bolder ones picked up weapons and fought the Watermelon Man, but the Watermelon Man felt no pain or fear, and the guards were no match for them. They could only hold out for a few moments before falling to their deaths.

The two smartest guards jumped out of the window and shouted, "Big Support, something's happened!"

In the backyard, the Big Support Guard Captain, Song Baiming, heard the commotion and ordered the two first-level martial arts practitioners, "You two stay in the backyard and don't go anywhere!"

After saying that, Song Baiming rushed into the front yard. He wanted to see which group of thieves they were and have a word with them first.

When Song Baiming saw that the yard was full of Watermelon Man, he immediately frowned.

How could this thing have gotten into trouble?

For the Watermelon Man to injure someone, two prerequisites must be met.

The first condition is that it needs to eat fertilizer.

The second condition is that someone has to eat a special watermelon to induce sweating, and then orders must be given to them.

These Watermelon Man have someone specifically assigned to guard them, so this kind of thing shouldn't be possible in theory.

Thinking about it further was pointless, Song Baiming called over a guard, "Go and get a watermelon."

The guard had only taken two steps when a Watermelon Man stabbed him in the chest.

Seeing this, Song Baiming rushed to the pharmacy to get the watermelon.

The Watermelon Man killed anyone he saw and surrounded Song Baiming in the courtyard.

In his anxiety, Song Baiming suddenly bent over, his arms bulging out instantly and tearing his clothes.

From shoulder to fingertips, both arms were covered with a hard helmet, and the palms swelled again, the original five fingers turning into two, resembling a pair of large clamps, which snapped off the Watermelon Man's head.

Watermelon pulp spilled out, and Song Baiming picked it up, intending to put it in his mouth.

But he wasn't fast enough; with the armor, he was even slower.

The decapitated Watermelon Man, wielding a machete, continued to fight Song Baiming. Song Baiming's clamps swung up and down, chopping the Watermelon Man into a pile of watermelon flesh and rind.

This person... looks like a crab.

The so-called physical cultivation seems to have many characteristics of biomimicry.

Without delay, Li Banfeng climbed onto the roof of the backyard while Song Baiming was distracted.

Geng Zhiwei stood in the middle of the courtyard, angrily berating the guards. "Who the hell let the watermelon out? I'll skin him alive today!"

Two martial arts practitioners urged Geng Zhiwei to go back inside, "Young Master, please go back quickly, it's dangerous in the courtyard."

"What are you afraid of! Just bring me a watermelon, shout once and you'll all stop. Let me tell you, I spent a lot of money to buy these. I won't hold it against you if you break one or two, but if you break them all, see how I deal with you."

A guard ran to the pharmacy in the front yard to get a watermelon.

The pretty Third Concubine, wearing a blue brocade jacket, came out of the house, took Geng Zhiwei's hand, and said in a coquettish voice, "Master, let's go back to our room quickly, I'm scared."

The Third Concubine was truly terrified; her body trembled, her conscience trembled along with it, and even her enormous peach trembled.

Geng Zhiwei shoved the Third Concubine aside and shouted at the guards, "Have you brought the watermelon yet? How the hell are you going to dawdle like this?"

This is the weak point of the Watermelon Man; once someone eats a watermelon and sweats, they can be given orders.

Given this situation, Geng Zhiwei will soon be able to eat watermelons and soon be able to control the Watermelon Man.

However, Li Banfeng's purpose in coming here was not just to get the pills, nor just to get the money, nor was it simply to cause a disturbance by the Watermelon Man.

He's about to do something big!

He can handle this important matter himself, but if he wants to get it done completely in a short time, it would be best to hire a helper.

You have to invest in what you do.

To accomplish great things, you have to invest heavily!

Li Banfeng lay on the roof beam, struck a match, and lit the paper money in his hand.

A strong smell of alcohol wafted over, and Li Banfeng heard Old Man Yao's voice:

"What do you want from me? You don't want me to kill someone, do you? That's beneath my dignity."

This was within Li Banfeng's expectations. As Old Man Yao had said, he could not do anything that was inappropriate for his status.

"How could I trouble you with something as trivial as murder?"

"So what do you need? Treatment or medicine? Nothing else is up for discussion."

Li Banfeng said, "I want to buy medicine, specifically some high-quality medicinal wine."

"Buying medicinal wine?" the old man smiled. "Strong or light?"

"Strong liquor, the stronger the better."

Are you drinking alone?

Li Banfeng roughly calculated. "It's enough for more than a hundred people to drink."

"So much liquor? I'm selling medicinal liquor, not poison. Think it through!"

Li Banfeng firmly replied, "I've thought it through. The wine is the most suitable for treating Xiao Pang's illness."

"Where would you like to drink this?"

"It's right here in this pharmacy."

The old man replied, "I have bottled wine and also bulk wine. Bulk wine is stronger, but it's more difficult to process in small quantities. Which do you want?"

"Bulk, the more loose the better, it would be best if you, sir, could spray it on yourself."

The old gentleman smiled and said, "Apart from the deposit, the cost of the wine is another 500,000. No bargaining. You can drink it right here in this pharmacy. You are not allowed to take it out."

Li Banfeng nodded. "Deal!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the paper money was burned to ashes.

Whoosh, a gust of wind.

The strong smell of alcohol instantly enveloped the entire pharmacy.

Old Man Yao's voice rang in my ears again. "Remember, my medicine is the best medicine in Medicine King Gully, and it can only be used to treat illnesses."

Li Banfeng replied earnestly, "Don't worry, we're here to treat their illnesses."

"Hehehe!" After a burst of laughter, Old Man Yao's voice disappeared.

Li Banfeng took out the Blood-Containing Pendulum, unscrewed it, and sprayed out the remaining grease.

He struck a match and dropped it onto the grease spray line.

A fiery serpent appeared in the night sky, and in the blink of an eye, the entire Geng Family Medicine Shop was engulfed in flames.

Li Banfeng opened the Portable Abode) and threw the key outside the pharmacy's courtyard wall.

Sitting in the main room, Li Banfeng pondered Old Man Yao's words carefully.

Old Man Yao once said, if Li Banfeng is a smart man, he will naturally know his identity once the business deal is finalized.

Does Li Banfeng know about this now?

Understood.

Old Man Yao said that his medicine is the best medicine in Medicine King Gully.

Whose medicine is the best in Medicine King Gully?

Of course, it's the Medicine King.

Outside of Medicine King Gully, the Medicine King is powerless; inside Medicine King Gully, however, Medicine King can be of great help.

The Medicine King of Medicine King Gully is a wine connoisseur.

Surprised?

Li Banfeng had no time to be surprised; he had other things to do.

As the fire raged, the eldest son, Geng Zhiwei, lost his composure. He rushed out of the house, stood in the courtyard, and shouted:

"What the hell are you all standing there for? Put out the fire! Put out the fire! I told you guys to store more water, why the hell weren't you doing this sooner?"

"You two come inside with me and move your things out. First, take out the banknotes, silver dollars, and paintings..."

Geng Zhiwei carried two boxes of banknotes, while the two martial arts practitioners each carried two boxes of silver dollars out of the house.

Geng Zhiwei called for people to come and take the calligraphy and paintings, but by then the fire had already spread into the house.

The guards dared not enter the house and fled for their lives through the back door.

Geng Zhiwei roared, "These useless bunch, go and get the pills first!"

He went to the front yard to get the pills, but saw the Watermelon Man walking into the back yard in an orderly line.

How did the Watermelon Man get in?

Where is Song Baiming Big Support, the Guard Captain?

Song Baiming fled.

You can't blame Big Support disloyal; he's human, and he's afraid of fire, but Watermelon Man isn't.

The fire was raging and more and more Watermelon Man. Two martial arts guards quickly urged Geng Zhiwei, "Young Master, let's go! If we don't leave soon, something terrible will happen."

Geng Zhiwei gritted his teeth, picked up the money box, and rushed towards the back door.

Two martial arts practitioners followed closely behind, while the Third Concubine, who was slow, stumbled and struggled to keep up.

When they reached the vicinity of the back door, the smoke was so thick that Geng Zhiwei couldn't open his eyes. He tripped over some debris on the ground and almost fell.

A guard stepped forward and helped Geng Zhiwei up. "Young Master, come with me!"

Geng Zhiwei quickly followed the guards, and the two martial arts guards behind him were furious.

Who the hell is this guy?

That's utterly shameless!

They're almost leaving, why are you trying to steal the credit?

Where was he when we were risking our lives to protect the young master?

The two martial arts practitioners immediately gave chase, and upon exiting through the back door, they discovered that the young master's figure had suddenly vanished.

Oh no, that man was a trap; he might not be a guard!

"Young Master!" The two martial arts practitioners shouted as they chased after Geng Zhiwei in the direction he had disappeared. They had only taken two steps when everything suddenly went black.

Jingle.

Li Banfeng threw the key away.

Clang.

The door was closed.

The guard who just helped Geng Zhiwei escape was Li Banfeng.

Li Banfeng was dressed as a bodyguard, and House Cultivator he was easily overlooked, Geng Zhiwei was already in a panic and his eyes were stung by the smoke, so he didn't realize that this "bodyguard" was actually a stranger.

Li Banfeng led Geng Zhiwei into Sui Shen Ju.

Geng Zhiwei groped around and shouted, "Where is this? What place is this?"

The two guards sensed Li Banfeng's presence but couldn't pinpoint his exact location. They shouted, "Where did this scum come from? What kind of illusion are you using? Get out here right now, or I'll leave you with a whole corpse!"

Li Banfeng sighed, "I was afraid my Wife would get too fat, so I only allowed Wife to eat one, but who knew three would come."

He really only wanted to bring Geng Zhiwei in, but he didn't expect the two martial arts practitioners to be so loyal and also come into the Portable Abode.

Upon hearing Li Banfeng's voice, the two martial artists identified Li Banfeng location and rushed forward, ready to fight Li Banfeng to the death.

But can they defeat Li Banfeng?

A House Cultivator on the first floor, residing in their own residence, can rival a cultivator on the second floor in combat strength.

Besides, my Wife is waiting to have her meal.

Clang clang~

The gongs and drums started beating.

Li Banfeng easily managed the two martial arts practitioners, and didn't forget to remind the singer, "Wife, the feast has begun, eat slowly."

Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!

"My lord, we can't wait any longer! Please don't laugh at me, I'm truly starving!"

P. S.: My Wife is hungry, and so is the Salad! Everyone, please vote and leave a comment!
