From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

On the way to the back mountain, Zhang Chulan whispered to Xu San, "Since Jiang Liu is a weapon refiner, could he help me refine a storage ring?"

"Didn't I just say that magical artifacts crafted by weapon refiners can generally only be used by themselves? Moreover, even a master weapon refiner might not be able to craft more than a few magical artifacts in their entire life, so don't even think about it."

Xu San advised, "Let's think about how to deal with the other contestants later."

Hearing this, Zhang Chulan was speechless, and then asked, "But since Jiang Liu has lost his magic weapon, his strength should be inferior to mine. How can he help me solve this problem?"

"Many hands make light work."

As Xu Si walked, he popped a cigarette into his mouth, puffing out smoke with obvious ease. "You know about the baby's situation. If we can avoid exposing it, we should."

As a weapon refiner, Jiang Liu should also have protective magical artifacts; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to emerge unscathed after being ambushed.

Therefore, he should be able to help you eliminate one or two opponents. At the very least, he can wear down their stamina. You see, once a superhuman is injured, even if they recover their strength, they cannot reach their peak condition the next day.

"I think you're overthinking it."

Feng Baobao, with her disheveled hair and vacant eyes, suddenly spoke up, "He's very strong."

"Uh... Baby, you're not kidding, are you?" Xu Si turned to look at Jiang Liu, who was walking ahead of them and had put some distance between them. He deliberately lowered his voice, sounding surprised and uncertain.

To know!

Their Bao'er sister has never made a mistake!

"I'm not joking."

Feng Baobao said, "It is as heavy as a mountain, as light as a cloud, and its breathing is as calm and long as mine. It is really strong... as if it is the world itself."

"Baby, watch less action-packed anime."

Zhang Chulan didn't believe it aloud, but he kept a watchful eye on Jiang Liu's back, and then—

Jiang Liu turned his head and said quietly, "The four of you, although I need your help, please don't talk about me behind my back, okay? Especially this Sister Bao Bao, I get shy when you praise me like that."

Zhang Chulan: "..."

He discovered that there seemed to be no decent people in the world of superhumans!

Everyone he met had a great sense of humor!

As they spoke, the five arrived at the cliff. A rope connected to another cliff, about twenty meters wide. Participants needed to cross it on their own to prove they were qualified to participate in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony.

Just as Xu Si was explaining how the Celestial Master's Mansion was "making things difficult" for the contestants, a voice called out from behind: "Zhang Chulan!"

The visitors were two people, both with white hair, a man and a woman. The man was called Feng Xingtong, and the woman was called Feng Shayan. They were from the Tianxia Society.

Both of them knew Zhang Chulan and had some kind of relationship with him.

Who is this?

Upon seeing Jiang Liu, Feng Xingtong became interested. "Chu Lan, aren't you going to introduce him? He looks to be about my age!"

"This is Jiang Liu, a weapon refiner. However, it seems he was knocked unconscious and his magical artifact was stolen," Zhang Chulan introduced Jiang Liu casually.

"Hello, my name is Jiang Liu, and I am a weapon refiner..."

He stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence, paused for a moment, and then continued, "Weapon crafting is just one of my hobbies; close combat is my specialty."

Zhang Chulan: "???"

"Hello, Brother Jiang Liu." Feng Xingtong was quite familiar with him. "What does the magic weapon look like? Tell us, our World Society has some connections, maybe we can help you find it."

As a rising force among the Ten Elders, the World Society has been recruiting people. Even Feng Xingtong, who had not yet been beaten, heard that Jiang Liu was a weapon refiner and also wanted to recruit talents for his family.

Jiang Liu didn't stand on ceremony. He took out paper and pen from his storage ring again, drew the outlines of the Hetu Luoshu and the God's Watch, and handed them to Feng Xingtong.

Feng Xingtong never expected Jiang Liu to be so... straightforward, but seeing him take out paper and pen from the ring on his left index finger, she believed him to some extent as a weapon refiner. She smiled and took the paper, saying, "Don't worry, I'll definitely let you know if there's any news. Here's my phone number."

"No."

Jiang Liu shook his head.

"this--"

Feng Xingtong's smile was slightly stiff.

"He's an unregistered resident..."

After Zhang Chulan's explanation, Feng Xingtong and Feng Shayan both widened their eyes.

Feng Shayan exclaimed incredulously, "These days, there are still extraordinary people who cultivate in the deep mountains and forests year-round? Even Longhu Mountain is cooperating with the tourism bureau!"

"Brother Jiang, you're really awesome!" Feng Xingtong gave him a thumbs up.

"It's not like we completely live in the deep mountains and forests, making the world our home."

Jiang Liu smiled, then took out a Bajiquan manual from his storage ring and handed it over, saying, "This is my experience in practicing Bajiquan. Consider it a deposit. If you really find my lost book and wristwatch, I will also pay you with my experience in practicing Tai Chi as a reward."

Bajiquan and Taijiquan were already famous and widely spread during the Republic of China era, and this is even more true in the 21st century.

Therefore, it is not too surprising that Jiang Liu brought out these two boxing techniques, but that does not mean that these two boxing techniques are not valuable. On the contrary, because they contain Jiang Liu's cultivation experience, which is "a true transmission in one sentence", their value is much higher than the boxing techniques themselves.

"That's too kind of you."

Feng Xingtong had never seen such a scene before and was at a loss for what to do. Feng Shayan stepped forward, took the Bajiquan manual from him, and said with a smile, "If there is any news, we will definitely let you know and ask them to pass the news on to you. Or, if you buy a cell phone later, you can tell us the number."

"A cell phone? That's a bit of a hassle."

As he spoke, Jiang Liu took out a piece of white paper from his storage ring, folded it into a paper monkey the size of a palm, and then condensed a ball of Yin-Yang Qi the size of a fingernail, poured it into the paper monkey, and handed it to Feng Shayan, saying, "If there is any news, just activate this paper monkey with Qi, and I will use it to send it over."

"Teleportation? Your ability is related to spatial teleportation?" Feng Xingtong exclaimed, "Isn't that the same as my older sister's!"

Fengshayan is a naturally gifted individual with the ability to travel through space. She can construct spatial channels within the area covered by her own Qi and travel between them.

"is it?"

Jiang Liu already knew about Feng Shayan's special abilities. Now that he saw her in person, he found that the flow of Qi in her body was somewhat similar to Qiankun Mo Nong, one of the four methods of innate talisman diagrams. However, perhaps due to the lack of the other three methods, her development was limited. "Then my suggestion is that you should learn some sorcerer techniques."

"It seems you have a good understanding of spiritual practice."

Some of the supernatural beings in the World Society who were familiar with the methods of sorcerers had said that her innate supernatural ability would be extremely effective when combined with the methods of sorcerers. But as the daughter of the leader of the World Society, how could she possibly join another sorcerer's sect?

The methods of sorcerers are not like those of Tai Chi, Bajiquan, Baguazhang, and other martial arts that are commonplace in the world of supernatural beings. They cannot be figured out by simply reading books on the principles of the I Ching such as the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams or Qimen Dunjia. Trying them rashly can easily cause physical problems.

“When it comes to cultivation, one always needs to read more books,” Jiang Liu said with a smile.

# Chapter 565 How to deal with Zhang Lingyu in the preliminary round?

"So, what exactly is your ability? If we meet in the competition later, we can practice together?"

Feng Shayan found Jiang Liu's delicate and handsome appearance quite to her liking, and she rubbed her hands together, her eyes filled with anticipation. "Your strength isn't just limited to the lost magical artifact, is it?"

"Well, I'm a jack-of-all-trades, master of almost everything," Jiang Liu said, taking a step forward toward the cliff ahead.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared on the opposite side and waved to Zhang Chulan, Feng Xingtong and the others.

"I go!"

Zhang Chulan was dumbfounded. "Shrinking the earth to an inch! That's terrifying!"

"Stop sighing, let's move on."

A hint of melancholy appeared in Xu Si's eyes.

He still remembered what Feng Baobao had said: Jiang Liu was extremely strong. Now, seeing this, just his ability to cross more than twenty meters with a single step was definitely no weaker than that of the older generation of strongmen.

I just hope he truly has no interest in the Heavenly Register or the position of Celestial Master...

After Xu San, Xu Si, and Feng Baobao arrived, perhaps because Jiang Liu's appearance slowed their ascent into the mountains, the scene of Jia Zhengliang rescuing Feng Baobao did not occur. Instead, Zhang Chulan, as in the original story, was hanging upside down from the rope and slowly climbing towards the other side of the cliff.

"Is he pretending to be weak to take advantage of others?" Jiang Liu asked Xu San and Xu Si.

“Don’t look at me like that. We’re not actually that close to him,” Xu Si said seriously. “We’re just employer and employee, not friends.”

"I heard you, Fourth Brother!"

Having climbed nearly four-fifths of the way, Zhang Chulan roared, "Are we still brothers?"

"Who said we're brothers? There's such a big age gap between us, how can we be brothers? Don't you think so, little brother Jiang Liu?" Xu Si said with a laugh.

"Yes."

Jiang Liu responded, and with a wave of his hand, he extended a magnetic field that bound Zhang Chulan and pulled him to his side.

"I go!"

Zhang Chulan stumbled, but after regaining his balance, he couldn't help but ask, "What kind of ability is that? Telekinesis?"

"Human magnetism".

It was Xu San who spoke. As a cadre of Na Du Tong, he had seen a lot of information about extraordinary people and recognized Jiang Liu's methods at a glance. "But this is the first time I have seen such precise manipulation of human magnetism."

"It is indeed a human magnetic field, but my method of human magnetic field has another name: Reversing the Eight Directions."

The name "Reversing the Eight Directions" would surely attract the attention of the elderly Lu Jin if it got out, but Jiang Liu had no intention of hiding his lineage.

Furthermore.

Relying solely on the help of the All-Knowing Alliance and the World Society to find the Hetu Luoshu and the Reincarnation Wristband isn't enough. It would be even better if the Lu family could also assist in the search...

Upon arriving at the competition venue, the audience had already entered, while the contestants waited outside. Yexing and Jiyun were responsible for creating corresponding slips based on the list on their laptops, so that the contestants could draw lots later.

They had already finished preparing it, but after checking the computer again and confirming it repeatedly before the competition started, they discovered that there was one more person registered! One hundred and twenty-eight people had become one hundred and twenty-nine people!

After learning about this, the old Celestial Master could roughly guess that someone from All-Knowing had hacked into the Celestial Master's Mansion's official website. However, as long as it was for Zhang Chulan's sake, he chose to turn a blind eye and said, "There's no need to replan. Just add one more card to the A-Azure Dragon group. I'll explain the reason to everyone later, and I think everyone will give me some face."

"We are so sorry, Master. It was all our negligence that led to this incident. We overlooked someone." Ji Yun and Ye Xing were very remorseful.

"It's not your fault, don't overthink it," the old master reassured them, then glanced at the more than one hundred participants outside the arena, and, feeling that it was about time, announced the start of the draw.

With the Old Celestial Master present, all participants, regardless of their character, lined up obediently and each reached into the wooden box to grab a crumpled piece of paper to determine their spot in the preliminary round.

The preliminary rounds were divided into four venues: A, B, C, and D. Players who caught the same animal were grouped together.

As Jiang Liu wrote on the paper in his hand, "Jia-Qinglong" means he is going to Field A to team up with other people who have also captured "Qinglong" and engage in a chaotic battle.

After everyone had drawn lots, the old master announced: "Since the number of participants is a yang number, the group of A-Azure Dragon consists of five people. We hope that the contestants who drew A-Azure Dragon will understand."

"The more people, the better! That way, I can demonstrate my power!"

"So what if you have to face four people at the same time? It's no big deal!"

"I'm already excited!"
