Lian Bud seeks the Mysterious Red Life Lotus from the difficult Coachman, while the Peddler reveals to Li Banfeng that the Coachmen are replications of their leader and that their foreign cars are steam engines. The Peddler explains the Saint captured Lian Bud to control his oil technology, which threatened the Saint's coal monopoly. This led to widespread purges, the Saint's downfall, and Lian Bud's disappearance until the Peddler and Li Banfeng found him.

Li Banfeng said, "Are you worried about leaking information, afraid the Inner State People will first take action against Lian Bud?"

The peddler nodded, "Because the Saint is still alive, he is in the Inner State, considering the future, he definitely won't easily reveal Lian Bud's whereabouts to the Inner State,

but if they learn that I'm planning to rescue Lian Bud, that's a different story. The Saint would partner with the Inner State to deal with me, so not only would I fail to rescue Lian Bud, but I might also get trapped myself.

It's just that I really didn't expect, who on earth spread the rumor, claiming I got into a fight with the Heavenly People?"

"We've found the person responsible for the rumor, it's Ye Haolong from Pillow City. This person is known to have sleep problems and mistook his dreams for reality, spreading false tales outside the city."

Li Banfeng recounted Ye Haolong's dream roughly.

"Ye Haolong..." The peddler remembered him, "This old man, he's been defeated in battles all his life, feels stifled inside, and sought to redeem that by dragging me into it.

His boasting wouldn't matter much, but why did so many others believe it?"

Li Banfeng said, "There were other reasons at that time because many incidents occurred at Snowflake Beach. Many masters in the beach were killed, and the Inner State even dispatched Zhang Gunli to spar with Mr. Kong Fang, the second-in-command at Snowflake Beach.

While you, as the head of Snowflake Beach, witnessed repeated devastations without making a move, many thus believed the rumor was true, thinking that the Heavenly People had really killed you."

The peddler nodded, "This Snow Cream, you must first consider the workmanship, and then the ingredients. It's not a business everyone can do, so your saying I'm the head of Snowflake Beach makes some sense!"

Li Banfeng said, "We're talking about Snowflake Beach, why did you bring up Snow Cream?"

The peddler paused, "What does Snowflake Beach do?"

This question left Li Banfeng coughing.

"Snowflake Beach, you don't know what they do? It's what, a group of masters gathering together, a sort of... they mint coins, they mint Ocean Dollars!"

After a good long while, Li Banfeng finally recalled Snowflake Beach's purpose.

The peddler looked at Li Banfeng, "You said Ocean Dollars were minted by Snowflake Beach?"

Li Banfeng nodded, "Yes, that's what everyone says."

"Did you see it?"

"No." Li Banfeng shook his head. Not to mention him, it seemed few in Puluo State had seen how Ocean Dollars were minted.

"That's what I'm telling you, this Snow Cream, it's not only about the quality of the cream, the processing must also be meticulous,

if it's too thin, it can't retain moisture, too thick, it's uncomfortable against the face. The timing is especially hard to control, plus the scent can't be too strong or too faint..."

Li Banfeng got a bit irritated, "Why are we talking about Snow Cream again? Weren't we discussing Snowflake Beach?"

The peddler said, "Why talk about Snowflake Beach?"

"Saying they're the ones minting Ocean Dollars for Puluo State, and you are their head!"

The peddler still didn't understand, "What makes Puluo State's Ocean Dollars minted by Snowflake Beach?"

Li Banfeng took out an Ocean Dollar, "Do you see? There's a snowflake on the back, that's Snowflake Beach's symbol."

The peddler shook his head, "What makes it Snowflake Beach's symbol, why isn't it Snow Cream's symbol?"

"How can it be Snow Cream's symbol, can Snow Cream mint coins?"

"Why not?" The peddler scooped a spoonful of Snow Cream, sprinkled it onto the carriage, and the creamy Snow Cream began to flow down the sides.

The peddler grabbed a handful of Medicinal Powder and sprinkled it onto the Snow Cream.

The Snow Cream transformed into pieces of Silver Yuan, falling to the ground.

PS: Wherever the peddler goes, his first shout will definitely be soap and Snow Cream.
