Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo'-Chapter 815 - 496: Together Above the Clouds

Ye Qingshan, the renowned mountain of Bridge Yesong, is also a famous mountain in Puluo State.

In Puluo State, due to the strict control of boundaries in each region, most people never have the opportunity to travel in their lifetime, nor do they have the concept of scenic attractions.

Even so, Ye Qingshan remains very famous. He Yuxiu came to Bridge Yesong and suggested several times to climb Ye Qingshan, but Li Banfeng was busy and never got around to it.

This time, Li Banfeng went up the mountain, early in the morning, following Sun Tiecheng up Ye Qingshan.

Ye Qingshan, with its steep terrain, lush vegetation, and countless beautiful sights.

But its most beautiful feature is the clouds and mist.

In high mountains and great rivers, clouds and mist are not uncommon, but Ye Qingshan is special. The mist seems to be born from the mountain itself, cascading down the peaks like a waterfall, constructing the most enchanting mountain scenery in Puluo State between the real and the unreal.

Indeed, it is quite enchanting. Because the mist is so thick, many tourists have gotten lost in the mountains. Sun Tiecheng stood in the woods for a long time, scratching his head, "I picked a good spot before and buried the contract book there, ordinary people definitely won’t find it, but now even I can’t find it."

Li Banfeng pursed his lips and chuckled twice.

Sun Tiecheng angrily said, "What’s so funny! Just tell me if the place is good or not!"

Li Banfeng nodded, "Good!"

Sun Tiecheng sighed, "It’s no use if it’s good or not, anyway, that place can’t be found, let’s pick another spot."

He took out two pieces of the contract book and said to Li Banfeng, "First, sprinkle blood on the contract book."

The front of the contract book still had that familiar line: Hundred Miles of Land, as Proof.

On the back, there were two lines of text:

First line: Li Yi gains Bridge Yesong

Second line: Territory of 26,330 square units.

Over twenty thousand square units of land?

Li Banfeng said in surprise, "Is Bridge Yesong really that big?"

Sun Tiecheng smiled heartily, "It’s definitely big, I wouldn’t let you suffer a loss, would I? Bridge Yesong is a very unique place, there are many areas that you can’t ordinarily see, I estimate there won’t be few people coming to snatch it."

The contract book had no other text, who knows who erased it.

Li Banfeng sprinkled his blood on the two contract books.

Sun Tiecheng nodded, "Let’s bury it here then!"

He found a branch, dug a hole casually, and buried the contract book.

Li Banfeng frowned, "Just burying it in this spot, isn’t it a bit careless? I noticed there are paths in these woods, there should be quite a few people passing by, wouldn’t it be easily dug up?"

Sun Tiecheng was confident, "It won’t be dug up, I’ll leave an array here, ordinary people won’t be able to see this place."

Even Foolish Cultivation has arrays?

Li Banfeng watched seriously as Sun Tiecheng planted the branch into the spot where the contract book was buried and said very seriously, "The array is set!"

"Isn’t your array a bit too simple?" Li Banfeng couldn’t think of a more suitable description.

Sun Tiecheng chuckled calmly, "I’m someone who doesn’t like all those flashy things, we Taoist Sect’s arrays focus on practicality, don’t underestimate this branch. From the moment I stuck it in, people around here won’t be able to see it anymore..."

A child ran over to the branch, unzipping his pants, ready to pee.

This might be a common trait among all boys, when they see a stick stuck in the ground, they want to knock it down with a stream of pee.

"Go, pee over there!" Sun Tiecheng shooed the child away and stuck another branch next to the original one. "This time no one will see it, from now on, you’ll have another name, Li Yi, you’re my big disciple, called Li Yi, perfectly reasonable."

Sun Tiecheng used Words Carved in Stone, with a very obvious technique, he wanted Li Banfeng to remember this name.

Li Banfeng used Ironclad Evidence as Firm as a Mountain here, "I have a name called Li Yi, Big Brother Sun testifies, Li Yi is me."

The two descended the mountain, with Li Banfeng walking fast and Sun Tiecheng not slow either.

Walking along the road, Sun Tiecheng suddenly stopped, looking at the bookstore by the roadside.

"This bookstore, why does it look so familiar..." Sun Tiecheng stared at Lu Family Bookstore, looking at it for a long time.

Li Banfeng opened his pocket watch, it was now eight in the morning, the bookstore hadn’t opened yet, its doors locked.

Sun Tiecheng walked to the door and said to the lock, "Do you know who I am?"

The lock wobbled for a moment, as if confirming Sun Tiecheng’s identity.

Sun Tiecheng asked again, "Seeing me and still not opening the door?"

The lock didn’t hesitate anymore and quickly opened the door.

This technique works on locks too!

Entering the bookstore, there were several rows of shelves inside, but the shelves were completely empty, not a single book.

Sun Tiecheng looked outside the house once, "That’s not right, the sign has been uncovered, they’re about to open, but the shelves don’t have a single book, how do they expect to do business?

Old Yi, go buy me some books to fill these shelves, get good books, new books, don’t buy a pile of junk to fool me."

Li Banfeng said, "Big Brother Sun, do you know Boss Lu? This is his business, isn’t it inappropriate for us to be doing business here?"

Sun Tiecheng laughed, "I don’t know Boss Lu, but I am quite familiar with Boss Zhou. This place has that scholarly air, it should be his business, you go buy the books, I’m helping him with his business, it certainly won’t be a bad thing."

Li Banfeng called someone to buy a few thousand books to fill the bookstore, Sun Tiecheng said, "Hurry up and cultivate, the sooner you reach Above the Clouds, the better."

Above the Clouds wasn’t actually far away, Li Banfeng returned to the Portable Residence, holding the phonograph, saying, "Beloved wife, I’ve gained a piece of territory."

The phonograph wasn’t surprised at all, "Well, husband, you’ve killed several local deities, getting more territories is only logical."

"But this time, it’s proper land. A master changed the contract book for Bridge Yesong’s name to Li Yi, sprinkled my blood, and buried it in Ye Qingshan."
