Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo'

Chapter 844 - 504: New Land in the Outside Provinces (2)

"Old Luo, how is the investigation of Bridge Yesong’s territory going?"

"Seventh Master, since I arrived at Bridge Yesong, I have found a total of seventeen pieces of Wind Sand Soil."

Wind Sand Soil, is what Puluo State calls the Hidden Form Space, where the wind and sand blind the eyes, making it impossible to see clearly. The land that cannot be seen with the eyes is called Wind Sand Soil.

"How big are these seventeen pieces of territory?" According to the Contract Book, more than half of Bridge Yesong’s land is unseen by the naked eye.

Luo Zhengnan said, "It’s hard to say, Seventh Master. Most of the Wind Sand Soil I can only open the door to, but if I go in, I can’t come back out."

When Luo Zhengnan explored the Hidden Form Space, he indeed encountered difficulties in this aspect. He could find the entrance, but in most cases, he had to guard the entrance because once he entered the Hidden Form Space, the entrance would close.

"Seventh Master, I thought about finding someone to help me, but since the matter you asked me to handle surely involves secrets, I can’t let others know about it."

Old Luo is indeed thorough. Li Banfeng said, "Remember the entrances. When I return, we’ll inspect them carefully. I need to find two people, and I’ll need your help with that."

"Just give your orders, Seventh Master."

"Qin Tianjiu of the Three Heroes Gang, help me find out his current situation, and if you can find this man, send him a message for me.

There’s another person named Yin Liting, nicknamed Yin Si Niang, who claims to be Zuo Wugang’s adopted sister. Help me ask Old Zuo if that’s true."

"I’ll be waiting for your news."

Li Banfeng hung up the phone, and the green-clad girl Feng Yuqiu stood up, stretched out her hand, and gestured to Li Banfeng.

Her two hands drew a very large spherical shape, as if she was miming a very large watermelon.

Her hands slowly came closer together, as if the spherical object was getting smaller.

Her lips opened and closed; she wanted to speak but couldn’t.

Her face remained expressionless, but her eyes stared intently at Li Banfeng.

A big ball, becoming smaller.

Li Banfeng asked, "Are you talking about Little Fatty Qin? A slimmed down Little Fatty Qin?"

Feng Yuqiu nodded.

"You came to the Outside Provinces to find him?"

Feng Yuqiu opened her mouth but still couldn’t speak. Although she had no expression, Li Banfeng could feel that she was really anxious.

What exactly did she want to express?

Could the wife know?

Li Banfeng didn’t want to bring Feng Yuqiu into the Portable Residence, because if he did, he couldn’t let her come out alive.

Bring the wife out, ask her a few questions?

Few who have seen the wife live to tell about it.

Li Banfeng arranged a bedroom for Feng Yuqiu and had the Clock Pendulum watch over her.

He returned alone to the Portable Residence and asked the wife, "Is there this Cold Cultivator Taoist Sect?"

Hong Ying replied, "Husband, yes, there is this sect, their skill in Touch Water Into Ice is very powerful..."

Smack!

A board came down, making Hong Ying shiver. The Phonograph scolded angrily, "You know nothing and still have the nerve to talk nonsense!"

Hong Ying rubbed her Peach and said, "Where did I go wrong?"

The Phonograph ignored Hong Ying and turned to Li Banfeng, "Beloved husband, Touch Water Into Ice, that’s Cold Cultivation, quite different from Cold Cultivation,

The Cold Cultivator Taoist Sect cultivates the disposition; the colder a person is, the higher their combat power. I haven’t seen Cold Cultivators Above the Clouds, but I’ve seen a Seventh Layer Cold Cultivator on the Earth Skin, who defeated a Ninth Layer Literature Cultivator,

This Taoist Sect is indeed formidable, but once they warm up, their combat power drops rapidly. That Seventh Layer Cold Cultivator was eventually killed by a Third Layer Martial Cultivator, showing the peculiarity of this sect."

The Seventh Layer defeated the Ninth Layer, but died at the hands of the Third Layer, this sect is indeed quite magical.

"Wife, what exactly is cold and what is warmth?"

The wife aimed at Hong Ying’s Peach and hit it hard with a paddle, causing Hong Ying to shiver.

"Husband, it’s like this wretched Hong Ying. If I don’t pay attention to her, scold her, or hit her all day, she seems unable to survive. That’s cold;

If I comb her hair, draw her eyebrows, apply Rouge, play with her for a while, and say a few words, she’s as happy as a blossoming flower; that’s warmth.

Cold Cultivators must be cold to people to improve their cultivation level and add to their combat power. Therefore, Cold Cultivators can only achieve something if they have no attachments and are ruthless and unfeeling. If they genuinely care about someone, their life is in danger."

Feng Yuqiu has been anxious to find Little Fatty Qin; could it be that she has genuine feelings for Little Fatty?

Was it because of true feelings that she ended up being subdued and became a Ghost Servant?

It’s just speculation.

Li Banfeng told the Phonograph about Feng Yuqiu: "She wants to say something but can’t. I guess that the young lady couldn’t speak even when she was alive. Does the wife have any way to communicate with her?"

"Husband, most Cold Cultivators do not speak, not because they are sick, but to prevent forming genuine feelings. From the moment they enter the sect, Cold Cultivators seldom speak to people. After reaching a certain level, they want to speak but can’t,

Reaching another level, they can’t write words or draw pictures. They don’t laugh when happy, don’t cry when sad, everything they want to express comes across unclearly, they become like wooden people."

That matches exactly.

Feng Yuqiu is in this state, almost entirely losing the ability to express herself.

"Wife, is there a way to restrain a Lost Soul?"

The Phonograph thought for a moment and said, "Husband, there are some ways Little Servant knows to restrain Lost Souls, but not to control them like a Nightmare Cultivator does."

Li Banfeng said, "I don’t intend to control her, just worried that if I’m not around, she might cause trouble, considering she is a Seventh Layer Cold Cultivator."

The Phonograph said, "If Little Servant carries combat power, it’s not an issue to subdue her, but our Old Man would never allow me to take combat power out."
