Li Banfeng sought out an old car for hire and encountered Pan Dehai, who was posing as the driver. Pan Dehai revealed a divine image, claiming it could store human energy, and gifted it to Li Banfeng, who absorbed a significant amount of energy from it. Pan Dehai explained that this energy came from the sincerity of Hai Chi Ridge's worship of Seventh Master.

Li Banfeng couldn't understand the relationship between human energy and emotions. In his view, the amount of human energy was solely related to the number of people.

Greenwater Bay had many people, so the human energy was strong.

Bridge Yesong had few people, so the human energy was weak.

This was the most intuitive concept and the basic common knowledge in Puluo State.

Pan Dehai waved his hand and said, "Brother, you only know one thing and not the other. When there are many people, there is a lot of human energy. A hundred people on a piece of territory could produce a hundred units of human energy in a day, and ten thousand people could produce ten thousand units. This is the iron rule, unchanged everywhere,

but if someone truly puts their heart into something, they might produce a hundred units of human energy in a day, or even more than a hundred."

"A person producing a hundred units of human energy?" Li Banfeng still couldn't understand.

Old Pan sighed and said, "Can't figure it out, right, brother? I only recently understood this principle. In Proper Land, although the population on Hai Chi Ridge isn't large, the human energy is not small, because when people are hungry, they want to eat. The thought of eating counts as true sincerity!

The human energy in Pants Belt Pit isn't scarce either; after eating and drinking, they think about doing something else, and this too is true sincerity!

The people in Medicine King Valley aren't few, but the human energy isn't much because people there are idle and have no strong desires, so they can't accumulate human energy,

people in Greenwater City are ambitious; everyone has something they genuinely want to do, so the human energy in Greenwater City is the strongest,

these human energies have various sources, their paths are uncertain, and the Land Seal can only gather them when held by someone. But there's one kind of human energy that the Land Seal can't collect, and this type of energy is named and owned,

last year at the end of the year, thousands of people at Third Ridge offered incense to the Seventh Master, each with true sincerity, allowing you to earn that human energy, which the Land Seal couldn't absorb, and others couldn't take even a bit… "

Discussing this, Old Pan paused for a moment, seeming to have talked too much.

Li Banfeng looked at Pan Dehai: "You just said others couldn't take it, doesn't that include you? You gave me this human energy because you couldn't consume it?"

Pan Dehai shook his head and said, "Saying it like that hurts the feelings. Although I can't use this human energy, leaving it unused would be a wasted opportunity.

Collecting human energy isn't easy; based on conscience, virtue, and friendship, I did this big thing for you. If you don't appreciate it, it would chill my heart!"

Li Banfeng nodded and said, "I appreciate this; I definitely do. In the future, when it's my turn to help, Old Pan should just speak up, and I wouldn't hesitate."

This was a heartfelt sentiment; he now really needed human energy, and Pan Dehai indeed helped a lot. It was rare for Li Banfeng to express such sincere words to Pan Dehai.

After chatting for a while, Li Banfeng asked about Qin Tianjiu's recent situation.

Pan Dehai answered tactfully: "Qin Tianjiu is exceptionally talented; he eats three cows and six sheep daily. The experience I accumulated in Food Cultivation didn't apply to him much,

I wanted to recommend him to Wangyou, the Food Cultivation expert at Iron Bowl Ridge, as a disciple. Unfortunately, Wangyou has an eccentric personality and thinks Qin Tianjiu is stubborn, unwilling to take him as a student, so he has to follow me for now."

Li Banfeng quickly grasped the meaning behind the words. He took out a check and initially drafted ten thousand Ocean Dollars for Old Pan: "Consider this money as tuition; all of Little Fatty's expenses will be covered by me."

Pan Dehai declined a few times but eventually accepted the money. Though ten thousand Ocean Dollars wasn't much to Pan Dehai, the intention was valued, which brightened his heart considerably.

The Old Car drove faster and faster, and in less than two hours brought the two to Qie Mian Village.

North of the village was Zhajiang Slope; with the snow sealing the mountain, the road was impassable, but the Old Car drove steadily, as if its wheels hovered over the snow without leaving any marks.

Near the top of the mountain, Pan Dehai got off with Li Banfeng and looked at Li Banfeng's feet. It was time to observe skills; the Old Car left no marks, and people walking on the snow shouldn't leave footprints either.

Li Banfeng had the technique of Riding the Wind and Clouds, so floating on the snow was no problem at all.

Pan Dehai also had techniques, but Li Banfeng couldn't figure out the origins of his techniques.

They arrived beside a rock, and Pan Dehai coughed three times.

The rock seemed able to comprehend Pan Dehai's voice, slowly rising from the ground to a height of over two meters, suspended in the air.

Behind the rock was a cave; after walking a hundred meters inside the cave, Li Banfeng saw an Old Car.

This car was the same size and shape as the Old Car they rode before, but looking at this car, Li Banfeng felt that it seemed very light.

Why did he have this feeling?

It was probably due to the color.

The car's shafts, carriage, and wheels were all the same color, slightly yellowish white.

Li Banfeng touched the shafts and asked Pan Dehai, "Is this car made of paper?"

Pan Dehai felt Li Banfeng's words were somewhat disrespectful, but he didn't deny it: "Indeed, this car is made of paper."

"Is this the Sea Eating Old Car?"

Pan Dehai nodded and said, "Yes, it is the treasure of Hai Chi Ridge that can accommodate tens of thousands of people!"

How could a car made of paper accommodate tens of thousands of people?

The peculiarities of Puluo State were varied, but Li Banfeng still felt this car was made rather too simply, lacking even a wooden frame, seemingly about to collapse with a gust of wind.

Pan Dehai laughed and said, "Brother, don't think this car is light. Let's see if you can move it."

Li Banfeng looked down: "Can this car's wheels rotate?"
