One person: Longhushan security guard, stopped the Ten Elders until they cried!

"Hahaha! It's done! Brother Zhou, I've succeeded!"

Late at night, inside the Xiu Shen Tang (a traditional Chinese medicine clinic).

The luminous pearl overhead, capable of transforming into a dazzling disco ball in a nightclub at any moment, was emitting a soft white light.

But Zhou Yan, Lu Lin, Lu Linglong, and the others standing in this room were bathed in a golden glow...

They look exactly like a group of the "Eighteen Bronze Men of Shaolin Temple" who have just been coated with gold powder!

Ma Xianhong sported a messy, unkempt hairstyle and had dark circles under his eyes.

He whirled around, opened his arms wide, and looked fanatical:

"look!"

Behind him stood a magnificent and resplendent gold-plated Body Cultivation Furnace, the "Gold Plus Edition"!

The design remains the same, consisting of three spheres: one large and two small.

But that pure gold brushed finish, paired with the brightly colored, blindingly shiny round glass dome...

No matter how you look at it, it has the tacky, no-no style of a KTV room in a third-tier city...

Zhou Yan's face darkened.

He shrugged and turned to look at Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing beside him.

"I told you this kid has terrible taste!"

He didn't say a single word.

Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing instantly understood his meaning!

The corners of their mouths twitched violently, and they nodded vigorously in perfect unison!

This is more than just problematic.

It's an absolute disaster for the aesthetic world!

Lu Linglong cautiously tugged at Zhou Yan's sleeve and whispered, "Brother Zhou... what's this?"

"uncanny workmanship!"

Before Zhou Yan could speak, a gasp of surprise suddenly rang out from the crowd!

Lu Lin took a step forward, her eyes shining as she gazed at the opulent gold-plated body-cultivating furnace.

Snap! Snap!

He clapped his hands and exclaimed sincerely:

"The craftsmanship! The lines... it's simply a work of art!"

The entire room fell silent!

Lu Linglong was so startled that she leaned back in a tactical motion!

She keenly sensed a hint of pity in the gazes of Zhou Yan, Wang Ye, and Zhuge Qing as they looked at her…

What a shame!

Lu Linglong moved quickly, as if avoiding a plague, quietly moving away from where her older cousin was.

Lu Lin turned to look at her in confusion: "Linglong...don't you think this is sacred?"

"Well……"

Ma Xianhong scratched his cheek, pointed at the brother and sister, and looked puzzled.

"Who are these two?"

In fact, the Lu siblings had been in this meditation hall for almost eight hours...

I stood there from sunset until midnight.

However, Village Chief Ma was too focused and absorbed throughout, his eyes only on the brand-new design blueprints and his furnace...

They hadn't even noticed when two grown men had entered the house!

Lu Lin quickly withdrew her fervent gaze, smiled, and extended her hand:

"You must be Village Chief Ma!"

"My name is Lu Lin, and I'm Zhou Yan's... ah friend!"

Ma Xianhong looked suspicious.

Big friend?

Is that pink-haired one a child?

"I...I'm still here! Lu Linglong!"

On the other side, Lu Linglong blushed and quietly raised her hand, seemingly ashamed to be associated with her cousin.

Ma Xianhong turned to look at Zhou Yan, and seeing him nod slightly, he laughed heartily and shook hands with Lu Lin:

"Hahaha! Good bro!"

"No wonder you're Brother Zhou's friend, you certainly have good taste!"

Ma Xianhong blinked wildly at Zhou Yan, looking smug.

"How about it, Brother Zhou? Does my 'Cultivation Furnace 2.0' meet your standards?"

His arrogant demeanor practically screamed "Praise me!" and "Submit to me under my furnace!"

Zhou Yan wiped away non-existent cold sweat from his forehead and waved his hand dismissively:

"Whatever, whatever makes you happy..."

the other side.

Lu Linglong secretly leaned over, nudged her older cousin's lower back, and lowered her voice.

"Dude, are you serious? This...this massive, imposing iron ball, how does it resemble a work of art?"

"Hmm... how should I put it?"

Lu Lin looked serious, pinched her chin, and pondered for a moment.

"A thousand lights shine from the crystal torches, ten thousand doors open to the embroidered beaded curtains..." This is probably what is being described as the extremely luxurious industrial aesthetic before our eyes...

It's...it's hopeless!

Lu Linglong didn't understand, but she was greatly shocked!

Lu Lin ignored her cousin's eye roll, turned to look at Ma Xianhong, and straightened her expression.

"Village Chief Ma, please forgive my intrusion."

"This cultivation furnace seems to possess various wondrous functions, such as storing, transforming, and fusing true qi..."

"But I only have a vague understanding of its most fundamental and core function... I wonder if Village Chief Ma could enlighten me?"

"Of course, that's exactly what I was thinking!"

Ma Xianhong waved his hand, displaying his heroic spirit.

He raised his arm, pointed to a copper bell tied with a red string on his wrist, and whispered the instructions:

"Go and fetch Hu Delu!"

A few minutes later.

Outside the Xiu Shen Hall, a series of hurried footsteps sounded.

A middle-aged man with round-rimmed glasses, thinning hair, and a beer belly rushed in, panting, led by two women nicknamed "Ru Hua".

Behind him, Liu Wukui, Qiu Rang, Ding Zihuan, and others followed in single file.

"hey-hey……"

Qiu Rang rubbed his hands together, his face beaming with excitement: "Master, we heard the new furnace is finished, so we rushed over to see it..."

The middle-aged, balding Hu Delu looked uneasy, and his speech became somewhat stammering:

"Master... Master, is it finally... my turn?!"

Lu Lin stood to the side, looking suspicious.

Is he Hu Delu?

He and Linglong had met this frail middle-aged man when they first entered the village.

His steps were unsteady, and his breathing was erratic; one could tell at a glance that he was an ordinary person.

Does demonstrating the function of this furnace require the presence of ordinary people?

"This...this is the Cultivation Furnace 2.0?!"

In the crowd, Ding Zihuan feigned shock and shouted loudly.

He stepped forward, beaming, "Master, this is absolutely stunning! I have to take a picture..."

Ma Xianhong knew he had a habit of taking photos, so he didn't think much of it.

He just put his hands on his hips and laughed heartily.

"Of course! Take as many pictures as you like!"

Ding Zihuan was overjoyed!

With Lu Lin and Ding Zihuan, the two "straight men," present, Ma Xianhong felt a sense of joy, as if he had found kindred spirits!

He strode forward with great enthusiasm and slapped Hu Delu hard on the shoulder.

"Come on, Lao Hu!"

Hu Delu's frail little body staggered from the slap!

"Join the glorious evolution!"

"good!"

Hu Delu gripped Lao Ma's hand tightly, so excited that he couldn't speak for a moment.

He had waited far too long for this day!

Mr. Hu ran to the large, golden iron ball in the center in a few quick steps and crawled inside using both his hands and feet.

He stood on tiptoe, stretched out his arms, and barely managed to reach the bottom edge of the hatch before pulling it up with all his might!

Click.

The hatch is locked.

Ma Xianhong took a deep breath, turned to look at Zhou Yan who was watching the show from the side, and his expression was solemn.

"Brother Zhou, please!"

A corner that no one notices.

A barely perceptible glint of ferocity flashed across Ding Zihuan's face!

He held up his phone, pretending to be taking pictures.

However, a dialog box had already been opened, and recording mode had been activated...
