Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo' Chapter 1351 624: Temple Fair (Part 5)

"Yes! Just head towards the village entrance."

Li Banfeng expressed his gratitude and left.

Niu Jingchuan picked out a few seeds, suddenly stood up, and searched around for the silhouette of the person he just met.

Who was that person?

He felt like the voice sounded somewhat familiar.

...

Li Banfeng arrived at the village entrance and saw the so-called old cars for rent.

The old cars are carriage vehicles, some pulled by horses, others by oxen; they can carry people and goods. People can sleep in the carriage, making it suitable for long-distance travel.

From Third Ridge to First Ridge, many people hire this kind of carriage. When choosing a carriage, people typically select older drivers, as they know which roads to avoid and whom to avoid. Hence, such carriages are called old cars.

Li Banfeng circled the village entrance and saw three waiting old cars. He glanced over them, didn't pick the oldest or the strongest, but chose the most virtuous one and asked, "Old Pan, out doing business?"

Pan Dehai looked around, surprised that Li Banfeng directly addressed him as "Old Pan."

"Guest Master, where are you heading?" Pan Dehai was still trying to play the coachman role.

"Let's take a tour around first." Li Banfeng boarded the carriage, and Pan Dehai drove off. After a short distance, Pan Dehai left a decoy outside driving as he entered the carriage.

"Brother Li Qi, I'm telling you, this time it's extra crucial to be discreet; if the word gets out, it'll be disastrous."

"The peddler asked me to collect the car from you; is it this one?" Li Banfeng had witnessed numerous exquisite craftsmanship methods but doubted this carriage could hold ten thousand people.

Pan Dehai shook his head and said, "What we're taking is the Sea Eating Old Car. I'll show you later. I also have something good for you; take it first."

Old Pan took a small divine image from his pocket and handed it to Li Banfeng. Li Banfeng glanced at it; the divine image was wearing a suit and a top hat, with the brim pressed low.

This is Seventh Master's divine image.

"What does this mean?" Given Pan Dehai's enigmatic demeanor, it was evident it wasn't meant to be a mere ornament.

Pan Dehai said, "Inside it carries human energy, Seventh Master's energy. Logically, half of my land's energy should stay,

but I am a virtuous person and don't take advantage of you younger folks. Besides, we share such profound connections; I'm giving you all my energy."

Did Pan Dehai really say this?

Is this truly Pan Dehai before him?

Li Banfeng stared at Pan Dehai for a long time as Pan Dehai frowned: "If you don't want it, then let it be. How could I deceive you?"

"Can this truly hold human energy?" Many have told Li Banfeng that only the land seal can store human energy.

"Whether true or false, you'll know by trying." Pan Dehai removed a talisman paper from the back of the divine image.

Human energy surged within the divine image, and Li Banfeng could feel it.

With the presence of energy, he collected it immediately, to avoid future complications.

Li Banfeng placed the small divine image on his head, and the energy flowed continuously, absorbing for over ten minutes until it was dry.

Li Banfeng was quite amazed: "Is there truly so much energy here?"

Pan Dehai nodded: "After the new year, there will be even more energy. Currently, it's the time for worshipping Seventh Master."

"Unbelievable! Hai Chi Ridge has only so many people; within just two years, how can there be such substantial energy?"

Pan Dehai sighed: "Indeed, it makes me quite envious. The amount of energy depends on true sincerity. Hai Chi Ridge's intent towards you is genuine."

PS: From where did Pan Dehai learn the method of storing human energy?
