Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo' Chapter 1187 586: Three Gates, Three Openings (2)

Miss Jiufang was startled: "Who is Mr. Kong Fang?"

Red Lotus replied, "The head of Snowflake Beach, one of the top tough guys in Puluo State."

Li Banfeng glanced at Red Lotus, wondering why she called Mr. Kong Fang the head of the family.

Miss Jiufang hadn't heard of Snowflake Beach: "Is he a good fighter? How does he compare to Sun Tiecheng?"

Li Banfeng said, "He's comparable to Senior Brother Sun. The key now is that we don't know if Senior Brother Sun is in the city."

Miss Jiufang was anxious: "Has Mr. Kong Fang entered the city gate, or is he still outside it?"

"He hasn't even seen the city gate; they're still struggling to control their speed."

"Speed... the Tight-Loose Balanced Array, he's still using that old tactic." Miss Jiufang was very worried.

"They're experimenting, and they'll soon figure out the right speed."

Miss Jiufang grew more anxious: "Junior Brother Li, do you know the Foolish Cultivation Array?"

Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "I saw it once. Senior Brother Sun stuck two branches into the ground, one to ward off adults, the other to ward off children."

"That won't do."

This formation was used at Bridge Yesong when hiding the Contract Book for Li Banfeng. Recalling the situation, Li Banfeng sighed: "I too felt this formation was too superficial."

Miss Jiufang said, "I'm not saying the formation won't do; I'm saying you won't do."

Li Banfeng frowned and said, "How do you know I won't do?"

Jiufang explained, "This is the Chaotic Flower Dazzling Array. Sun Tiecheng's placement of the two branches is quite skillful. The depth and positioning are precise, and it takes at least a decade to master."

"Then suggest something I can learn?"

Miss Jiufang was very anxious but remained composed. She pondered for five to six minutes before suddenly shouting, "You're a Traveling Cultivator, right?"

"Speak calmly, don't make such a fuss!" Li Banfeng instinctively glanced at the main room, thankful his wife wasn't home.

Miss Jiufang said, "There's another array, the Three Gate Three Open Array, and only a Traveling Cultivator can learn it."

Li Banfeng didn't understand the logic here: "What does the Foolish Cultivation Array have to do with a Traveling Cultivator?"

"It's related; do you know the Thousand Mile In A Step?"

"I do!"

"Then this should be manageable. I'll teach you the array right now; study carefully, and it should take about an hour or two."

"What if they enter the city within these one or two hours?"

Miss Jiufang said, "Chant the spell to prevent them from entering the city."

"Chant the spell at home? Will that work?"

"It will. I'll tell you the spell. Just remember the gist of it. The spell's original text is, 'They definitely can't find it!'"

"Just this one sentence?"

"That one sentence is enough!"

"Alright, I've got it," Li Banfeng felt this spell should work, "Let's discuss the array."

"The Three Gate Three Open Array refers to three entrances leading to three exits, like using the Thousand Mile In A Step Technique to send those entering the array elsewhere."

"How to send them?"

"The formation's essentials are the same as the Thousand Mile In A Step: using the Traveling Cultivator's intent and steps to tear out an unnamable rift."

"Is this the technique's essentials?" Li Banfeng was unfamiliar with the essentials as Jiufang described. Hong Ying's essentials weren't like this.

"Hehe," the Portable Residence chuckled lightly.

Jiufang continued, "Before setting up the formation, first use the Thousand Mile In A Step Technique. During the chaos, set up three fulcrums around the enemy. Each pair of fulcrums should be no less than ten meters and no more than thirty meters apart."

Worried that Li Banfeng didn't understand, a stack of paper and a pen floated in mid-air as Miss Jiufang drew while explaining.

The method is quite simple: form a triangle using three fulcrums, encircle the enemy, with each side corresponding to a door, and each door corresponds to an exit.

Li Banfeng asked, "How should the fulcrums be set?"

"Find a branch or stick and stick it into the ground. The faster, the better."

Li Banfeng nodded and said, "That's not hard; I'll first find someone to fix me a direction."

He was going to call Luo Zhengnan, set a time for Luo Zhengnan to call back, and with phone positioning, Li Banfeng could find the direction.

Miss Jiufang said, "There can be no fixed direction; I said before, set up the formation during the chaos."

"Isn't that nonsense? During chaos, how do I set up a formation?" Using the Thousand Mile In A Step would cause Li Banfeng to lose his sense of direction. He wouldn't know which way to run, let alone with a distance requirement.

"That's the crux of the formation; you need to use the Foolish Cultivation Technique to find your direction."

"How to fool? Fool myself?"

"Yes, fool yourself. Use all the Foolish Cultivation Techniques on yourself. You don't need to distinguish east from west, north from south; just find the general direction, draw three fulcrums, and circle the enemy."

At this point, Miss Jiufang's heart was also tense. To make Foolish Cultivation fool oneself requires solid skills. Li Qi hadn't been in the sect for long, so he probably didn't have this method.

She underestimated Li Banfeng.

When Li Banfeng was the Local Deity in the New Land, his cultivation level was still at Earth Skin, and just then Oil Peach came to reclaim wasteland. Li Banfeng used Foolish Cultivation Techniques to deceive himself into believing he was the Local Deity, relying on Hong Ying's power and his confidence to successfully light up the plot.

But the difficulty of these two matters is different.

At that time, Li Banfeng had already stolen the Contract Book of the Local Deity, possessing its position but not its power.

He firmly believed he would become a very powerful Local Deity in the future. This idea was rooted in his mind, so he only needed to use Words Carved in Stone, blur the timing, and change the future to the present, thus successfully deceiving himself.

But this time, the difficulty increased. Using the Thousand Mile In A Step technique would cause a loss of direction. Unless a position was found, the sense of direction couldn't be regained; this was common knowledge among Traveling Cultivators, and this notion was also deeply rooted.
