Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo' Chapter 1458: Harmony of Qin and Se [Part 2]
Previously on Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo'...
Li Banfeng remained silent for a moment, feeling that this Taoist Sect choice was not right, but couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was wrong.
Tan Jinxiao shook his head repeatedly: “Martial Cultivators can fight, Traveling Cultivators can run, Food Cultivators can eat, at the end of the day, they all rely on their bodies to battle, that’s the Taoist Sect on your body, you three heads, only one can control the body, when it comes to fighting, who do you listen to?”
Mengzi thought for a moment, “Listen to whoever has the higher cultivation level!”
Tan Jinxiao looked disdainful, “Aren’t you talking nonsense? Then why cultivate three Taoist Sects, to spar with yourself? You might as well fully cultivate one!
Mengzi protested, “Three people, three Taoist Sects, techniques keep changing, so there are more strategies to deal with situations.”
Tan Jinxiao found this laughable: “Why should you be able to switch? When it comes to a life-or-death fight, before you can switch bodies, you might already be dead! You can’t choose Taoist Sects like this, the No Sin Army is a perfect example, one martial, one literature, one mental; one attacks, one restrains, one disrupts, relying on this tactic, ordinary people aren’t your match.”
Juanzi looked at Li Banfeng, who nodded slightly.
Old Tan was right, the martial, literature, and mental Sects are the standard setup of the No Sin Army, Martial Cultivator for combat, Literature Cultivator for restraint, Mental Cultivator for disrupting the opponent, this strategy was very effective, both Li Banfeng and Lu Qianjiao had suffered because of it.
The matter was settled, Mengzi would learn Martial Cultivation, Juanzi would learn Mental Cultivation, and Xiao Shan would learn Literature Cultivation.
Xiao Shan lifted his head, with his pair of clear big eyes, looked at everyone, “I don’t really know how to read, can I learn Literature?”
The child’s question was very simple, but also very direct.
Tan Jinxiao blinked: “Then learning literature will be hard, does Mengzi know how to read?”
Mengzi lifted his head, with a calm smile: “Yesterday Sister Xiao taught us, I can write my own name.”
He was somewhat proud, as Juanzi and Xiao Shan still couldn’t write their own names.
Li Banfeng said: “In this situation, you can’t cultivate literature, think of another Taoist Sect for Xiao Shan.”
Choosing this Taoist Sect wasn’t easy, the three of them shared one body, they had to avoid fighting over control, and also ensure cooperation among them.
Tan Jinxiao suggested: “Martial Cultivation, Gang Xiu, Mental Cultivation, it’s also a cultivation set, quite common in the No Sin Army, you should learn this!”
Xiao Shan agreed, but Li Banfeng hesitated a bit: “I don’t have the medicine for Gang Xiu.”
The critical medicine, the lady hadn’t made it yet.
Liang Wucui suggested: “Let Xiao Shan practice Poison Cultivation, I think it fits.”
Tan Jinxiao voiced his concern: “Poison Cultivation requires ingesting poisons during cultivation, this harms the physique, not good for Martial Cultivation, this Taoist Sect isn’t suitable for you.”
Juanzi thought for a moment: “Our Xiao Shan loves singing, he sings quite well but is usually shy to sing, would it be suitable for him to become a Sound Cultivator?”
Tan Jinxiao still shook his head: “Sound Cultivation isn’t suitable either, when the level is low, it’s hard to control techniques, interfering with Mental Cultivation, you might unknowingly sabotage yourself in battle, if you ask me, Xiao Shan should learn from me, Tanxiu requires no bodily involvement, no matter the fight, it doesn’t stop you from spitting!”
Xiao Shan lowered his head, squeezed out two words from between his teeth: “Disgusting.”
“How can this child talk like that!” Tan Jinxiao got angry, “I’m done dealing with you!”
Xiao Shan had his own ideals: “Seventh Master, actually I want to learn Lust Cultivation!”
Juanzi slapped Xiao Shan, making him abandon his ideals.
After much discussion, Li Banfeng decided on a Taoist Sect for Xiao Shan.
He let Xiao Shan learn Nightmare Cultivation.
Tan Jinxiao also thought this idea was good: “Nightmare Cultivation is an external Taoist Sect, with techniques residing in the Ghost Servant, nothing else is delayed.”
The matter was agreed upon, Li Banfeng returned to the Portable Residence to fetch the potion.
“Wife, where did you put the Spiritualist Potion?”
The Phonograph handed the Spiritualist Potion to Li Banfeng: “Beloved husband, your accent has been a bit odd lately.”
Li Banfeng also noticed this issue: “I recently met a new friend, he has a heavy accent, led me astray!”
“What kind of friend?”
“His name is Tan Jinxiao, he opened three doors Above the Clouds, with Gold Cultivation, Tanxiu, and Laughing Cultivation.”
Hong Ying put down her powder puff, suddenly feeling the fragrance powder in the box was no longer fragrant: “Is there really such a disgusting person in this world?”
The Phonograph said: “That’s not the way to put it, each sect has its benefits, each family has its hero, the three Taoist Sects he practices are uncommon, as a companion by your husband’s side, he should be a great helper.”
Li Banfeng nodded: “Indeed, he’s a good helper, I quite admire him.”
Leaving the Portable Residence, Li Banfeng gave the Guidance Agent to Juanzi.
Tan Jinxiao advised: “Don’t drink it, just hold it in your mouth, once it reaches the stomach, it’s not certain whose it is, mixing three potions can be deadly.”
The three followed Tan Jinxiao’s advice, holding it for over two hours until the potion in their mouths fully dissolved, all three successively fell into a deep sleep.
This was normal, Xiao Yeci covered Juanzi with a blanket, and took turns with Liang Wucui looking after them.
That night, Xiao Shan woke up first, as soon as he opened his eyes, he let out a cry, “Sister, there’s a ghost in this room!”
Liang Wucui smiled: “Seeing a ghost means the Nightmare Cultivation was successful.”
…
Li Banfeng and Tan Jinxiao discussed strategies in the room, according to Tan Jinxiao’s estimates, within two days, the boss is certain to come to the Human Market.
“You just mentioned you have a way to remove the mark, what’s the method?”
Tan Jinxiao waved his hand: “I never said that, I can’t remove this mark, but I have a way to deal with it.”
“How to deal with it?”
“Wait here for a moment, I’ll show you something.” Tan Jinxiao went out, shortly returned holding a slab.
On the slab, two lines of words were written.
