Lord of Puro

Chapter 703 Capital
"You recovered so quickly?" Li Banfeng looked at the peddler beside him in horror.

"Almost." The peddler didn't push the truck, but he walked briskly and seemed to have recovered a lot.

Li Banfeng looked back at the fire on the land: "Did you see what happened just now?"

"I saw it," the peddler said with some regret in his tone, "Old Xu is really something. He burned everything down with one fire. Even though the farm and the fields are fake, it's good to leave them on the ground as a cover, isn't it?"

Li Banfeng looked at the peddler in confusion: "That's not what I'm talking about. I mean Zhang Wanlong cracked the lock repair powder. Aren't you anxious about this?"

The peddler nodded and said, "I'm worried about him. He hasn't cracked it completely yet. The place is 70% locked, and 30% is leaking. If Old Xu comes back again, he will definitely find the flaws. Then Zhang Wanlong will be doomed."

Li Banfeng was even more puzzled: "So what are you going to do?"

The peddler said, "I helped him lock up the remaining 30% so that Old Xu can't see it for the time being."

Li Banfeng knew that what the peddler said was very important, but his expression made Li Banfeng a little confused.

The peddler waved his hand and his truck came in front of him.

He took two cushions, one on each side, and asked Li Banfeng to get in the car.

The two of them sat in the car, which creaked forward. Li Banfeng asked the peddler, "Someone is cracking the Taoist's entry-level medicine powder. Aren't you worried?"

The peddler nodded and said, "I'm worried. It's hard to say what he will use the powder for. If he creates a bunch of gambling cultivators, poison cultivators, disease cultivators, fire cultivators, and insect cultivators, things will be troublesome."

"Then why didn't you stop him?"

The peddler handed a bottle of soda to Li Banfeng: "Because we can't stop him from doing anything just because we're worried. Such geniuses are rare."

He also opened a bottle of soda, took a sip, and praised: "The soda from the soda kiln is delicious. The first person to study this kind of soda was a kitchen apprentice. He didn't think about ingredients, but only about flavors. His master hated him at the time and didn't allow anyone to mention this apprentice.
Later, the soda from the soda kiln was selling really well, so I gave this apprentice the title of the chief chef. His master started to hate me from then on and would not allow anyone to mention the peddler in front of him.
Old Xu also had this problem. He was also a genius. He created all the techniques of gold cultivation, but in farming cultivation, he always followed the rules of his ancestors.
It’s not that what his ancestor did was wrong, nor that he shouldn’t have passed down these Taoist methods, but there has been no change in cultivation for so many years, which has led to the gradual decline of this Taoist sect.”

Li Banfeng took a sip of soda and rubbed his nose. It was very carbonated and tasted really good. "Do you want Zhang Wanlong to bring some changes to Gengxiu?"

The peddler nodded and said, "We must give those who want to change a chance."

"But he is studying the method of preparing the powder, which is shaking the foundation of Pro State."

The peddler gulped down a bottle of soda and put the bottle back into the cabinet: "It doesn't mean that my things cannot be changed, because everything I make can't be right. Even if it is right now, it may not be right in the future.

I went to Zhang Wanlong's bamboo forest. Zhang Wanlong didn't have ten-rib iron bamboo. He used eight, nine, and thirteen ribs. The medicinal powder made from this kind of thing looked a bit weird, but it was the weird powder that could bring about change.

If the medicine powder cannot change, then the Dao Sect of Pro Province cannot change. The inner and outer provinces are changing. If Pro Province does not change, how can it survive? Don’t you think this is the truth?”

Li Banfeng gave the peddler a cigarette and said, "If he really made a drug powder that causes endless harm, how should we deal with it?"

"I must handle it. If I can afford it, I have to be able to afford the loss. How can there be a business that is guaranteed to make a profit?" The peddler lit a cigarette and handed the match to Li Banfeng. "The Dao Lao Gui may cause endless harm, but I still kept Cui Tik. Isn't that the reason?

But speaking of Dao Lao Gui, you can’t get away from this matter either. I heard from Cui Tik that Dao Lao Gui became what it is today as a result of your joint research.”

Li Banfeng said angrily: "Is that what he said? This shameless foreign devil!"

The peddler signaled Li Banfeng to calm down: "Since you have invested money, you have to be able to bear the losses and gains. Now there may be changes on Dao Lao Gui's side. You should have thought of the reason."

Yes, Li Banfeng thought of it, and the reason was Zhang Wanlong.

Li Banfeng shook his head repeatedly and said, "This is Cuitik's business alone!"

"Look, you're anxious again!" The peddler said with a smile, "This business is not losing money, and this change is acceptable for now."

Li Banfeng said: "Can you accept the changes in lock repair? You mentioned in Suihuangyuan that only after the lock repair is fully developed can a piece of land be locked.
If it is true that Zhang Wanlong cracked the lock repair powder, how did he achieve great success in such a short period of time?"

The peddler nodded repeatedly: "Brother, I have thought about this for a long time. At present, I can think of two possibilities. One is easier to understand, that is, the medicinal powder developed by Zhang Wanlong is impure, which leads to the wrong order of practice, allowing him to learn incomplete high-level techniques at a lower level."

This is indeed easy to understand, but Zhang Wanlong's luck is too good. He made the wrong powder, but ended up learning advanced techniques. How could this be a bargain?
"What about the other kind that is hard to understand?"

The peddler didn't know how to describe this situation: "You saw Yao Xin in Suihuangyuan, right?"

Li Banfeng nodded and said, "I see. That place is so critical. I must wait for him to arrive before I can leave."

The peddler asked again, "Did Yao Xin tell you about the Iron Man?"

"Speaking of which, five hundred strong men are invincible."

The peddler nodded and said, "One man against thousands of troops, and thousands of troops against one man, both are remarkable means, what do you think?"

Li Banfeng thought for a long time: "What's so great about thousands of troops resisting one person?"

The peddler suddenly looked up at the sky: "Something happened at home."

Li Banfeng also looked up at the sky: "What's going on?"

The peddler lowered his head and said, "Brother, let's discuss this. You get off the car and go back to your own house. Come out again in ten minutes."

Li Banfeng was shocked: "Why is this happening? What happened?"

The peddler said mysteriously, "Brother, I don't want you to know where my home is."

Li Banfeng said angrily: "Are you so wary of me? Isn't our brotherhood genuine?"

The peddler waved his hands and said, "Brotherly love is sincere, but my house is made of wood. If it burns down, it may not be saved."

Li Banfeng looked up at the sky again: "There are also wooden houses. How many houses do you have?"

The peddler advised, "There are indeed many houses, but they cannot be prevented from burning. Don't look up yet. You must remember what I just told you. Change is necessary, but you must figure out in which direction to change. You must know that some of the costs are too great and may not be able to bear it."

Li Banfeng got off the truck and returned to his residence. He waited for ten minutes and when he came out again, the peddler had disappeared.

Change is necessary, but the direction must be clear.

Li Banfeng looked in the direction of Bitch Post.

……

In Jingde Village, Jianrengang, a black bear without eyes slowly walked out of a private house.

Pus was oozing from his eye sockets, but that didn't mean he couldn't see, it was just that the images in his eyes were different.

It felt like something was approaching, but it couldn't tell where that person was.

The black bear stood up on its hind legs and turned half a circle on the spot. A knife-wielding ghost suddenly jumped up and chopped off the black bear's head.

The headless black bear grabbed Dao Lao Gui and tore him into two halves with its arms.

The two halves of Dao Laogui then tore at the black bear, their short and thick arms digging into the black bear's flesh.

Li Banfeng was watching from the side. He didn't expect that Dao Laogui's body had become so strong.

While the two sides were still fighting, a group of Dao Lao ghosts emerged from the farmland and joined the battle.

They tore at each other, and pieces of limbs flew everywhere.

Li Banfeng didn't know what they were fighting for, probably not for food. The ground was covered with blood and flesh, and not a single Dao Lao ghost stopped to eat.

After fighting for more than an hour, the battle finally ended and a group of Dao Lao ghosts won. They picked up some broken pieces from the ground and walked up the mountain.

Li Banfeng followed the wreckage all the way, encountered many Dao Lao ghosts, and encountered many battles. Finally, he found Cui Tik in a cave.

"My friend, I knew you would remember me, and I knew you would help me!" Cuitik received Li Banfeng warmly.

Li Banfeng asked Cuitik: "What happened here?"

Cuitik explained: "You know I have two territories. One is Desong Cliff. Although there is no grass growing there, it still needs to maintain a certain level of popularity.

In addition, there is Rongku Mountain, which is the land I cherish the most because it is the symbol of our friendship. I worked diligently there, which led to my negligence in the management of Daogui Ridge, resulting in some unexpected variables, and it was precisely because of these variables that a certain degree of confusion was caused. "

Li Banfeng sat opposite Cuitik and said seriously, "When you describe a simple situation in a complicated way, it reveals a problem. What you just said is not critical."

Cuitik lowered his head and said, "I am a foreigner and am not very familiar with your language."

"Then tell me something you are familiar with. Why did Dao Laogui fight?"

Cuitik said: "Because some Dao Lao ghosts followed my senior brother."

"Wan Jinxian?" Li Banfeng thought for a moment, "I remember you told me that Wan Jinxian became a god, didn't he?"

Cuitik nodded and said, "He seems to have gained new insights on the road to becoming a god, and thus evolved new abilities!"

Li Banfeng looked at Cuitik.

Cuitik tried his best to look directly at Li Banfeng.

"Old Cui, tell me the truth, is it that Wan Jinxian evolved on his own, or is there some other reason?" Cui Tike replied calmly: "I have never lied to you, my brother has a strong divinity..."

"Goodbye." Li Banfeng stood up and was about to leave.

Cuitik stepped forward to stop him: "It's like this, I got some medicinal powder through an accidental channel, and I want to use this medicinal powder to enhance Dao Laogui's combat power."

"Which sect's medicinal powder is this?"

"For martial artists."

Li Banfeng nodded and said, "This seems to be somewhat true."

Cui Tik pulled Li Banfeng and said, "Our friendship has always been very pure. I will not hide anything from you."

"Where did you get the powder?"

Cuitik said: "I bought some stocks from the rich and nobles..."

"Take care of yourself." Li Banfeng stood up and was about to leave.

Cui Tik stopped Li Banfeng and said, "I bought it from Zhang Wanlong. He told me it was a medicine powder for martial artists, and I didn't doubt it at all."

"How much did you buy?"

Cuitik thought about it and said, "From the dosage alone, it can be understood as a large-scale purchase. The specific unit should be calculated in sacks."

Li Banfeng was stunned for a long time and asked, "You used a sack to buy the powder? What did you use to buy it?"

Cuitik was silent for a long time and said, "Use money."

"You continue to take care of yourself."

"Friend!" Cuitik held Li Banfeng tightly, "I really can't say anything more about this matter. I promised Zhang Wanlong not to tell anyone the details."

In fact, he didn't need to say anything. Li Banfeng knew the rest of the details. Cuitik exchanged the powder for the plant virus.

The key question now is, why did Zhang Wanlong's powder make Daoguiling become like this?
Cuitik made a cup of tea for Li Banfeng and said, "Forgive me for having to use such low-quality tea to entertain you. You have seen my current situation.

To be honest, I was very upset. I suspected that Zhang Wanlong had deceived me. What he gave me was not martial arts medicine powder at all. I rubbed the powder on Dao Lao Gui, and Dao Lao Gui's fighting power did become stronger to a certain extent.
But I didn't expect that the powder was not completely absorbed. Some Dao Lao ghosts collected the powder and smeared it on Wan Jinxian while worshiping the gods.
I still don't understand why they did this. Maybe they respected Wan Jinxian too much and wanted to present him with their most precious things.
But the result was disastrous. Wan Jinxian had mutated. I don't know how he broke through the lesion I gave him. He can move and fight. He is leading a group of Dao Lao ghosts to fight with me, and he has a certain degree of advantage. "

Li Banfeng squinted at Cui Tike and said, "You are not telling the truth, are you? With your current level of cultivation, how could Wan Jinxian possibly have the upper hand over you?"

"I thought so too, but the reality is not like this. He is the real Dao Lao Gui. His thinking mode is exactly the same as Dao Lao Gui. Compared with me, an imitator, he has a much greater advantage. This has resulted in more people following him than me.

This is not just the current situation, but also a trend. More and more people will follow him. My friend, you should understand more and more concepts. "

Li Banfeng realized the seriousness of the problem.

Cui Tik's use of Zhang Wanlong's weird "martial arts" powder caused Wan Jinxian to undergo an unexpected mutation, which also led to the current chaos in Daoguiling.

But these are not the key points. The most important thing is that if Wan Jinxian wins this war, Dao Laogui will be out of control.

Li Banfeng thought for a moment and said, "The best way to solve the problem now is to kill Wan Jinxian."

Cuitik looked at Li Banfeng expectantly: "This is not what I am good at."

Li Banfeng looked back at Cuitik: "Why are you looking at me? Why should I help you do this?"

"This is not just my problem. This is the plight of the entire Pro State. You know what the consequences are if Dao Lao Gui gets out of control."

Li Banfeng smiled calmly: "Go and talk to the peddler about this."

Cuitik was anxious: "Do you really want the peddler to solve this matter? Is this what you really think? Are you going to let our joint efforts and hard work go to waste?"

Li Banfeng walked to the entrance of the cave, turned around and looked at Cuitik and said, "Change the way you put it."

Cuitik said seriously: "Give me a hand, and I will repay you."

This statement made Li Banfeng somewhat satisfied.

Li Banfeng took out a deed and said, "I will help you become Wan Jinxian. You will have to help me do something in the future. I will inform you of the specific task at that time, but you have no right to refuse."

"This is ridiculous," Cuitik shook his head. "If you really want to complete a deal, you must set the most basic restrictions on the terms of the deal. This is the minimum sincerity!"

Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "I'm not sincere. Do you accept such conditions?"

"That's too much," Tretik sighed, "I accept it."

Li Banfeng took out the deed paper and wrote the deed.

Tretik drew the map and developed the tactics.

"Wan Jinxian spends most of his time in the temple on Shengxian Peak, with more than 300 Dao Lao ghosts around him to protect his safety.

I can blend in with the Dao Lao ghosts and use the disease focus to knock down these 300 guards, giving you a chance to kill them with one strike."

Li Banfeng looked at the map, then at Cuitik: "If you have a way to take down these guards, why don't you just take down Wan Jinxian? When the other side loses the advantage in numbers, there is no reason for you to be afraid of him."

Cui Tik said: "That's exactly what I want to say. Wan Jinxian has undergone many changes. Because he is an excellent disease cultivator, it is difficult for me to defeat him in a short period of time using the disease cultivator method.
If we use some simple and crude methods, it will also be difficult. For example, if I cut off his head, he will not die immediately. On the one hand, this is because he has a strong physique of Dao Laogui, and his fallen head will turn into some kind of liquid mixture and then be absorbed into his body again. "

Li Banfeng understood this time: "The liquid mixture you are talking about is pus, right?"

Cuitik thought for a while and said, "Not quite. There are other complex factors involved, including a large amount of his brain tissue."

Li Banfeng was not too concerned about these complex factors. What he cared about was the identity of his opponent: "Is this Wan Jinxian or Lu Huazi?"

Cui Tik answered sincerely: "This is Wan Jinxian. I have protected the ancestor very well and he has not fallen into his hands for the time being.

But the problem is that the founder also practiced martial arts, which caused incredible changes in his body, so I suspect there is some connection between martial arts and illness.

Zhang Wanlong’s martial arts powder has a big problem, but this connection is real.”

Li Banfeng looked at Cuitik in horror.

He now understood why Dao Lao Gui's physique had become so strong, and why Dao Lao Gui's range was constantly expanding.

"You are not only studying Dao Lao Gui, nor are you only studying Bing Xiu, you are also studying the changes after the combination of different sects?" Li Banfeng asked Cui Tike seriously, "Are you getting closer to the goal of destroying all mankind?"

Cuitik pondered his words for a moment: "Actually, I think this has always been our joint efforts..."

"Don't say that again," Li Banfeng interrupted Cuitik, "Change always has a price, this is the cost, right?"

This time, Cuitik really didn't understand: "Your language is a bit complicated. Is there any metaphor here?"

"There is no metaphor, it's all superficial meaning," Li Banfeng deeply felt the difficulty of the choice, "The cost is a bit too high."

Cui Tike more or less understood what Li Banfeng meant: "You can restrict me, we have a contract between us, and you are not the only one who can restrict me, there is also the peddler, right?

Friends, we should think positively. I am a rational person and I know what to do and when to do it. But Wan Jinxian is not that kind of person. Choosing me is much better than choosing him. "

Li Banfeng recalled his past with Wan Jinxian: "I'm not very familiar with him, can you tell me what kind of person he is?"

……

"He is my best counselor. When he is around, I feel at ease no matter what I do. Without him, we would not be able to get this land." He Jiaqing dug out a deed in the Gobi Desert.

Datou asked: "Is this the deed that Lu Dongliang left for me?"

He Jiaqing nodded: "Lu Dongliang does not want to go to Neizhou. Although he has close contacts with people from Neizhou, the path he wants to take is to force his position and directly ascend to Yunshang.
This is why he was in a hurry to get the Red Lotus. He wanted a first-class elixir to help him complete his promotion. When he focused all his attention on the Red Lotus, Wan Jinxian seized the opportunity and instigated Lu Dongjun to kill him. "

He Jiaqing held the deed and looked into the distance: "In fact, Lu Dongliang is good to Lu Dongjun. There is a new piece of land over that mountain. This is what Lu Dongliang prepared for Lu Dongjun. If I'm lucky today, I might be able to find another deed."

Datou thought about the old newspaper he had seen before: "The newspaper said that the Lu family and the Chu family paid a heavy price to jointly open up a new piece of land with a radius of ten miles, but I didn't expect that Lu Dongliang actually had a whole piece of new land in his hands, and more than one piece."

He Jiaqing laughed: "The newspaper said that Chu Shaoqiang died in that land reclamation. I later investigated and thought that Chu Shaoqiang died at the hands of the Customs Defense Department.
But when Chu Shaoqiang really appeared in front of me, I was not surprised at all. The truth is too luxurious for this world!"

He handed the deed to the big boss and said, "The land of Lu Dongliang and Lu Dongjun, plus the missing Bei Wushuang, the three lands together are also quite large.
There are not many good resources here. After all, this is just an alternative plan, which is much worse than the previously selected area.
But this place is hidden enough, which is a valuable advantage. There are several local gods around, who are either too old or too weak to fight. With a little planning, we can get the contract. The next thing is to find a suitable pioneer."

Datou didn't want to spoil He Jiaqing's mood, but there were some things he had to tell the truth: "These deeds are only half."

He Jiaqing smiled calmly and said, "I'll take the remaining half. I know Chaoge has made sufficient preparations this time, but I still want to get the deed back. Don't worry, I'll let you be the local god and will never let you be manipulated by Neizhou."

Big Head nodded, cut his palm, shed blood, and took over Lu Dongliang's new land.

He Jiaqing looked around and said with a smile: "Maybe there are some twists and turns, but as long as we don't give up, we will continue to move forward."

PS: There is a connection between martial arts practitioners and disease practitioners. What changes can there be between home practitioners and travel practitioners?
