Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo'

Chapter 984 536: Is He a Man from the Heavens? (Part 3)

"I'm not sure about the origins, but it's said he's not from the earth but a person born from the heavens."

"A person from the heavens?" Li Banfeng stared in confusion for a while, then asked, "What kind of abilities does this great deity have? Can he make people wealthy or promote them in rank?"

If the answer was that he could help people with alchemy, Li Banfeng would immediately leave Rock Tower Village.

Jin Shunying thought for a moment and said: "I don't know what abilities the great deity has, but the people who come here to seek the deity's favor have all kinds of intentions—some seek official positions, some seek education, some seek wealth, and some seek health,

some say this deity is very effective, others say not at all, some worship sincerely, while others come just for the excitement."

Li Banfeng asked: "Have you ever sought the deity's help?"

Jin Shunying nodded: "I did once, and I found it quite effective. Just recently, I saved up some money and wanted to buy a harmonizing agent to break through the third layer. Before that, I specially came to Rock Tower Village to worship the deity, hoping everything would go smoothly,

logically, with the little money I had, I couldn't buy much, but the few at the Cultural Palace who sell harmonizing agents had somehow gotten a bad reputation, and couldn't sell their goods. Some harmonizing agents were about to expire, so they sold them to me at a 20% discount; that time, I really struck it big,

boss, did I say something wrong? Boss..."

Li Banfeng seemed a bit lost.

The expression of a homebody is easily overlooked, but this time Li Banfeng's expression was slightly noticeable.

The person from the heavens is Red Lotus's master.

Red Lotus has unparalleled abilities in alchemy.

Jin Shunying sought the deity for a harmonizing agent and received the deity's favor.

The harmonizing agent is actually an elixir from the Outside Provinces...

There must be a connection here; this deity is most likely Red Lotus's master.

Li Banfeng asked Jin Shunying: "When are you planning to hunt the Fighter?"

Jin Shunying thought for a moment: "Definitely not in the next couple of days, there are too many people, it's inconvenient to act, or else it might attract people from the Dark Star Bureau,

I'm planning to first observe the situation these two days, and make a move the night after tomorrow, by that time, most of the people of Rock Tower Village will have left."

Li Banfeng suggested: "How about we wait until the deity leaves before we come back?"

Jin Shunying thought for a moment: "It's rare for me to come once, I also want to worship the deity before I leave."

What wish does she want to make while worshipping the deity?

Isn't it to get rid of me?

Li Banfeng nodded: "Sounds good, then let's rest well here and wait to worship the deity."

As soon as rest was mentioned, Jin Shunying blushed, the two couldn't sleep in the same room.

"I'll sleep in the car..."

Jin Shunying was about to get up when Li Banfeng waved his hand and said: "You can sleep here, and make some preparations in the meantime, I'll come to find you the day after tomorrow."

Leaving the inn, Li Banfeng wandered around a village in the city and quickly returned to his own place.

Entering the Portable Residence, Li Banfeng went straight to the ten rooms and sat in front of Red Lotus.

Red Lotus spread open her petals, revealing a lotus seed; it was a Xuanyun Pill refined from Lu Huowang's remains.

Li Banfeng looked at the elixir and softly asked Red Lotus: "Has the person from the heavens come to Yuezhou?"

Red Lotus remained silent for a long time before answering with a question: "How do you know?"

Indeed they've come!

"Did they come for you?"

Red Lotus's petals trembled gently: "I don't think they came for me, perhaps they didn't want to come to Yuezhou, they must have another reason for coming here."

Red Lotus seemed to know a lot, appearing to maintain some special connection with the person from the heavens.

Under these circumstances, the wisest course of action for Li Banfeng was to leave Yuezhou immediately.

Red Lotus saw through Li Banfeng's thoughts and slowly said: "Don't be in such a hurry to leave; if you leave, they might follow you."

Li Banfeng touched the Lotus Heart: "Sister Lian, are you joking? In this vast sea of people, can they find me so easily?"

Red Lotus gently clamped Li Banfeng's fingers with her Lotus Heart: "I have no choice, as I'm in your hands."

Li Banfeng got up and left the ten rooms.

Arriving at the main room, Li Banfeng lay on the bed without saying a word.

Hong Ying laughed and asked: "What's wrong, Qi Lang, feeling frustrated because you can't fly?"

The phonograph gave Hong Ying a pat, came to Li Banfeng's side, and softly comforted: "Beloved husband, I heard everything just now, there's no need to listen to that wretch's nonsense; surely the person from the heavens isn't here for you."

Wife is right, the person from the heavens isn't here for me.

The tradition of worshiping the deity in Rock Tower Village has lasted for over a decade, with the person from the heavens visiting once a month, every month for all these years as a habit, likely unrelated to Red Lotus.

But the phonograph was somewhat worried: "Among those I know, the only one in this world who can rival the Peddler is this person from the heavens; to be safe, husband should temporarily leave Yuezhou."

Li Banfeng said: "I'm worried that if I suddenly leave now, it might actually attract his attention."

The phonograph sighed lightly, also feeling concerned, unable to come up with a solution at the moment.

"Ah Qi, no need to go anywhere," the Old Man spoke up, "stay at home for these two days; after years, I didn't expect to see him, but I want to see if he can find me."

The phonograph inwardly praised, not expecting the Old Man to have such confidence.

"Husband, just follow what the Old Man said, stay at home for the next two days and study some knowledge with the Little Servant."

"What knowledge?"

"Knowledge about techniques, husband, you've advanced too quickly, picking up some half-learned techniques, let the Little Servant help you brush up."

For two full days, Li Banfeng stayed at the Portable Residence, learning techniques from his wife, never stepping outside.

Under his wife's guidance, significant progress was made in Deep Mansion Courtyard, Golden House Concealing Beauties, Expand Territory and Open Borders, Shape and Shadow Suspension.

The most noticeable improvements were in Deep Mansion Courtyard and Shape and Shadow Suspension.
