From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Jiang Wei and Li Luo exchanged a glance, calming down as they realized that Jiang Liu wouldn't look down on them simply because they lacked education. Perhaps Western technology could indeed help them better select grain varieties…

···

After the three from Shennong Hall left, Jiang Liu took out some materials related to industrial development and contacted Zhuge Yu, asking him to come and help organize and plan them.

"Brother, did you steal this from a foreigner?"

Looking at the factory's construction blueprints and the detailed internal assembly line structure, Zhuge Yu was dumbfounded. "But why is it written in our local language?"

"It really could be considered stolen."

Jiang Liu smiled casually, "Could you please make some plans, brother?"

Seeing that Jiang Liu was unwilling to reveal the origin of these blueprints, Zhuge Yu did not press the matter. He nodded and, after planning the construction locations of various facilities and buildings with Jiang Liu, convened a meeting of the Confucian Society members to determine the detailed and specific steps for building four major factories: food, chemicals, machinery, and electronics. He instructed the extraordinary individuals with the corresponding skills to match the four factories with the above four, and those interested could invest, control a certain percentage of shares, and participate together.

As for that base vehicle: Primordial, Jiang Liu does not intend to reveal it at this stage. Apart from Lu Jin, Hong Guniang, and Wang Yaozu, Jiang Liu has not told anyone else.

That's one of our ultimate trump cards!

# Chapter 456 A Turning Point!

Sunrise and sunset.

In the blink of an eye, half a year passed quietly, and the year was 1926.

Within the half-black, half-white thoughts originating from the Black Mountain Demon, the yin impurities in the iron rod in Jiang Liu's hand have been completely refined, leaving only pure white light spots scattered throughout the rod, arranged according to the constellations of the heavens, truly possessing a spirituality that resonates with Jiang Liu's will.

The golden hoops at both ends were originally dark gold, but now, due to the pure yang energy within the staff, they have gained a spiritual quality and become even more dazzling.

It is:

When all impurities in one's thoughts are cleared, a single point of spiritual light shines forth.

Refined through nine cycles of ironmaking, it becomes as desired and as easy to do as you wish!

At this moment, this iron rod can also be called the Lingyang Rod, which has truly become spiritual. In addition to the changeable golden hoops at both ends of the rod, the rod itself can also change size at will.

The staff was crafted by Xuanzang based on the principles of the Nine Revolutions of Alchemy. Although its surface is smooth and clean, the patterns of the stars in the heavens are engraved inside. Now that it has become spiritually connected, one can control the distance between the atoms within the staff by circulating Qi. It can be made as small as a chopstick or as large as 135 meters tall.

It cannot compare to the real Ruyi Jingu Bang, which is as small as a mustard seed but possesses immense power, but for Jiang Liu, it is a priceless treasure.

Moreover, Jiang Liu suspected that the iron rod could achieve such a level of craftsmanship not only because of the reasons mentioned above, but also because its material must be extremely special: extraterrestrial meteorite iron.

It may contain components similar to shape memory metals.

Jiang Liu himself has completely mastered the fire control of the Golden Crow, the Moon Rabbit, and the fire control of the four seasons and six qi. With the help of the Dharma image talisman seal to perceive the nature of heaven and earth, and by learning more about the concepts of sorcerers and qi formations from Zhuge Yu in his spare time, he has been able to sense the climate of the whole world and truly perform the function of change.

When a sorcerer performs magic and uses Qimen Dunjia to correspond to the four plates of Heaven, Earth, Man, and God, the essence is to create a small energy field to perform magic corresponding to Heaven, Earth, Man, and God. The so-called good or bad fortune is simply to rely on the energy field of Qimen Dunjia to disrupt the energy field within another person's body, thereby weakening their abilities.

However, the Qimen techniques employed by sorcerers are generally not as influential as the Qi formations created by relying on natural mountains, rivers, and streams. Most sorcerers are unable to disrupt another person's Qi formation through Qimen techniques, thereby causing the other person to sever their "past" and die.

Jiang Liu's Qimen Dunjia takes the five internal organs of the body as the central palace, and the Qimen Dunjia space is the Qi pattern of the human body itself. He uses the Qi pattern of the human body to sense the Qi pattern of heaven and earth. He has talisman seals and symbols, plus the control of the Golden Crow Fire and Jade Rabbit Fire at the star level, as well as the control of the four seasons and six Qi. His sense of heaven and earth becomes more and more sensitive, and he can already change through the methods of reverse generation Qi transformation and human magnetic field.

That is, using the human magnetic field to perceive the magnetic fields of all things, and using the reverse generation of Qi to reorganize its own form, so as to achieve the effect of changing all things.

Reversing the flow of life into the nine orifices, the human magnetic field vibrates the eight meridians.

Eight times nine times seventy-two, the path to heaven is opened!

but.

Within the twenty-four-story Heavenly Pagoda in Jiang Liuxin's mind landscape, the twenty-four flower buds remained unopened, only now bearing a touch of gold, unlike half a year ago.

Without him.

This is because Jiang Liu has not truly reached the level of enlightenment of the Buddha.

Moreover, the Yang God Method, which originated from the Jade Emperor Palace, is based on thoughts and ideas to refine Yin Gods and forge Yang Gods. Jiang Liu himself did not cultivate it, but used this method on the thoughts of the Black Mountain Demon in the Iron Rod.

Therefore, Jiang Liu must find a way to cultivate both the Heart Sutra and the Pure Yang Method of Thoughts in the future, but for now, at least he doesn't need to carry the Iron Rod all the time; he can store it in his storage ring.

In addition to spiritual practice, the Confucian Society also expanded its reach, establishing three major factories—food, chemicals, and machinery—in an undeveloped area by West Lake.

As for electronics factories—

Since the conditions are not available at the moment, we will put it on hold for the time being.

The research results on grain varieties by Jiang Wei, Li Luo, and Jiang Wu'e were limited, partly due to the small number of researchers involved, and partly due to the inherent uncertainty of hybrid grain varieties…

We have to take it slowly.

Just as the Confucian Society was developing and Jiang Liu's cultivation was progressing at an extremely rapid pace, a message reached Yu Hang.

Mr. J disregarded the greater good and attacked union members in Shanghai!

It happened a year earlier than Jiang Liu's previous life.

The workers' picket line suffered heavy casualties.

The Guo faction members in Yuhang City also made some unusual moves, and before the Gong faction could react, they had already launched a bloody suppression.

Why did you do this?!

Liu Chuang and the rest of the disciplinary team stood guard over Zhao Yuanzhi and his family, questioning the Guo faction members who surrounded them.

"Enough with the nonsense."

At the command of the leading officer, the soldiers behind him immediately opened fire.

Bang bang bang!

However, after the gunshot, the bullets hovered in mid-air, creating ripples, but none of them landed on Liu Chuang or Zhao Yuanzhi.

Afterwards, the officers and soldiers were thrown to the ground by an invisible force field, and their guns, knives and the like were all taken away by an invisible force.

Lu Jin jumped down from the roof, a revolver in his hand, and said to the officer who was getting up, "The warlord forces haven't been completely eliminated yet, and you're already thinking about fighting for power? You guys are really too pathetic."

The officer looked at Lu Jin with some fear, but still said firmly, "Supporting the Guo faction is your only choice!"

"I'm really sorry!"

Lu Jin grinned and then pulled the trigger.

With a loud bang, a bullet hole appeared in the officer's forehead, and he fell straight to the ground, lifeless.

“We cannot trust a force that would kill its comrades before achieving its great goal and betray the Northern Expedition.”

The moment the words fell.

Red Girl led the members of the Na Du Tong security team out from the rooftops on both sides of the street, each holding a gun and aiming at the soldiers and officers below.

After the gunshot.

Soldiers and officers all fell in pools of blood.

"Mr. Zhao Yuanzhi".

Hong Guniang nodded to Lu Jin and then led the Na Du Tong security team to find the other officers and soldiers who dared to fire indiscriminately in the city, frighten the people, and even kill innocent civilians. Lu Jin then turned to Zhao Yuanzhi and said, "Please come with me. We have prepared carriages for you. You can leave the city and retreat further south."

"No! I can't leave!"

Zhao Yuanzhi looked at the soldiers who had been shot, then came to his senses, pushed aside Liu Chuang who was blocking his way, and shouted to Lu Jin, "It was my fault before, I shouldn't have distrusted you. Now I hope you can do me a favor!"

"Follow me first."

Lu Jin was simply leading the way.

"Wait, this is important!" Zhao Yuanzhi shouted hurriedly.

"At the very least, we need to get your family to a safe place first, right?"

Lu Jin turned around and looked at Zhao Yuanzhi's wife. Her belly was bulging, clearly indicating that she was pregnant, at least three to five months along.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuanzhi was taken aback. Realizing that he was about to become a father, he could only agree and follow Lu Jin to a place outside the city. He then had his pregnant wife ride in a carriage with the rest of the Gong faction members and leave Yuhang under the escort of the strange people.

He originally wanted Liu Chuang to go up as well, but he insisted on staying behind.

"Where are these carriages going?" Seeing that Liu Chuang was unwilling to leave, Zhao Yuanzhi sighed and asked about the destination of Lu Jin's carriage.

"Hunan."

After Lu Jin finished speaking, she asked Zhao Yuanzhi, "What name do you plan to give your son?"

"Zhao Fangxu".

"I hope his future will be like the rising sun, upright and incorruptible!"

# Chapter 457 The Turmoil Subsides

The unrest in Yuhang City lasted only half a day before it was completely quelled by the Confucian Association. Anyone who dared to fire indiscriminately was suppressed and killed without exception.

"Wait, let me go! I have children at home! Oh, and I have money, lots of money!"

Some officers knelt down and kowtowed.

"boom!"

But the only response he received was a gunshot.

"You have children, but others don't?"

Zhao Qian blew on the smoke from the gun barrel and smiled coldly, "Even if you die, your money will still end up in our hands, won't it?"

"Are you talking to a corpse?" Wang Kun was speechless.

"The young master said that, to be on the safe side, we can't show off while the other party is alive," Zhao Qian said matter-of-factly. "Then I can only show off when he's dead!"

Wang Kun and the others were speechless.

Qian Dui grumbled, "Stop joking around. You're supposed to be the oldest among us. It's time to deal with the corpse."

"that is!"

Sun Li echoed.

"Young Master, what should we do with the body?" Zhou Xun asked Jiang Liu.

When unrest broke out in the city, Jiang Liu, as the president of the Confucian Association, had to take action personally: "Send word to move them to the city center first. If their families are willing to take them back, let them take them back and deal with them themselves. The rest should be gathered in the wasteland outside the city, dug a pit, pour kerosene on it, and burn it to prevent the spread of plague."
