From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

For a moment, a hint of humility appeared in his eyes.

But no matter what, Zhao Fangxu was an experienced and knowledgeable boss, and he had already composed himself before entering the meeting room.

Inside the meeting room.

In addition to Jiang Liu, Feng Shayan, Zhang Chulan, and Feng Baobao, four other people were present.

A man wearing a T-shirt and hot pants, revealing his long legs, with blond hair casually draped down, looking both male and female, with a cynical look in his eyes, was named Wang Zhenqiu.

A man with a square face, wearing round glasses, and small eyes, looked rather shy. His name was unknown, but he called himself Old Meng.

A tall man, wearing a jacket, with disheveled hair, a beard, and an unkempt appearance, was called "Black Pipe".

There was another man with a chiseled face and square glasses, who was sizing up Jiang Liu. He occasionally revealed a sharp glint in his eyes, but he looked kind. His name was Xiao Zizai.

In addition to the four people mentioned above, there was a tablet on a nearby table with a cartoon smiley face on it. The person in question was named Gao Yushan, also known as Erzhuang. Due to health reasons, she could not attend in person and could only attend via video call.

After Jiang Liu and his group were seated, Zhao Fangxu personally explained the situation, saying, "Mr. Jiang, the lost item you are looking for is in Chen Duo's hands, but Chen Duo previously killed Liao Zhong, the person in charge of the South China region, and escaped with your lost item. Furthermore, during this time, she also joined an extremely dangerous organization, which is the main reason I gathered these temporary workers—I hope they can assist you in retrieving your lost item..."

and also.

Mr. Jiang, if it's convenient, could you tell us the specific purpose of those two lost items?

Zhao Fangxu was nervous when he asked the question, but Jiang Liu nodded and said, "That's no problem. My two lost items are the Hetu Luoshu and the Reincarnation Wristwatch."

The Hetu Luoshu is a core component of my research on Qi formations. My original intention was to record the natural Qi formations of the world so that I could use them at any time without having to run around the world. However, at present, I can only release a Qi formation similar to the Small Heavenly Circuit, and it cannot be used until the combination lock on the front and back covers is unlocked.

As for the Reincarnation Watch...

A friend gave it to me; it's called "Reincarnation," and as the name suggests, it involves other dimensions.

Of those present, only Wang Zhenqiu had some understanding of the Qi Ju (a concept related to the overall situation).

therefore.

Many people's attention was drawn to the names of the River Chart and the Reincarnation Wristwatch, feeling that Jiang Liu was incredibly domineering for daring to give such names to two magical artifacts.

However, Zhang Chulan and Feng Shayan, who had witnessed Jiang Liu's ability to fly through the clouds, believed that the two lost items might indeed have the functions that Jiang Liu had described.

"If it's convenient, could you explain what 'qi ju' (气局) is?"

Zhao Fangxu continued to ask.

"To put it simply, the rise and fall of the winds and the surging waves of the entire earth are like a grand celestial cycle, similar to a cultivator who is circulating qi throughout the body and refining their inner life force."

Jiang Liu was not stingy. "You can compare the Qi formation to a natural environment in the process of cultivation. As long as you find the right method, you can use the Qi formation to exert supernatural abilities. The scope is so large that it can affect the timing of the weather. For example, you can summon wind and rain, gather sand into the sea, and create raging waves. There is a Guixu Qi formation in the South China Sea. It can migrate. In the sea, it is shaped like a Kun fish. When it leaps into the sky, it transforms into the shape of a Peng bird. It involves ocean currents and air currents. It is the Kun Peng in 'Free and Easy Wandering'."

In Egypt, there is also a geomantic system called 'Selkhate,' a legendary oasis kingdom of the ancient Egyptians, shaped like a scorpion, a small world.

If you understand the concept of Qi (vital energy), and then look back at history and observe the three ancient civilizations that have disappeared, you will find that their disappearance was due to the weakening and reduction of Qi for various reasons.

And the so-called "paradise on earth" here also has a corresponding explanation.

correct.

There exists a secluded, ghostly realm in the Jinhua area, a self-contained space. However, if that place has been developed—that is, if the mountains are damaged and the rivers are diverted—then the ghostly realm will gradually disappear, just like a cultivator who has depleted their vital energy.

Immediately, beads of sweat appeared on the foreheads of everyone present, realizing that Jiang Liu's cultivation and research were on a completely different level from theirs.

While they were still in the Qi Refining stage of cultivation, the other party had already begun to study the reasons for the disappearance of ancient civilizations, and even the essence of the world.

Zhao Fangxu wiped the sweat from his forehead and had a fleeting thought of not returning the Hetu Luoshu and the Reincarnation Watch to Jiang Liu after finding them. However, remembering Liu Zhenguo's instructions and warnings, he could only say, "Mr. Jiang, don't worry, our temporary workers from Na Du Tong will definitely help you find your lost items!"

The Reincarnation Watch is on Nathan Island, and it will take some time to negotiate with foreign powers…

"I'm actually not in a hurry."

Jiang Liu said calmly, "Besides, it's not good to ask for your help for free. I'll go with them in the next operation. I suppose you called them all here not only to hunt down the traitor Chen Duo, but also to wipe out the forces she's joined?"

"I can't hide it from Mr. Jiang," Zhao Fangxu said with a forced smile.

"I don't entirely agree with the philosophy of Na Du Tong in managing people with supernatural abilities, but I also don't want to see anyone trying to cause trouble or disrupt stability..."

# Chapter 604 Target: Hetu Luoshu, Chen Duo, Biyou Village

After the meeting, Jiang Liu and the temporary workers did not leave immediately, but instead got to know each other in the meeting room so that they could start cooperating later.

Among them, Feng Baobao was not so familiar with the temporary workers in other districts. This was the first time that temporary workers from Na Du Tong had gathered together and participated in the same operation.

Wang Zhenqiu spoke first: "Everyone, my name is Wang Zhenqiu. I think some of you know me. As for my abilities, I have studied a variety of arts and know a little bit of everything, similar to this Brother Jiang. But in terms of cultivation, I am far inferior. It's like comparing heaven and earth. There's no way to compare."

That's all.

His gaze fell on Jiang Liu.

But the second one to speak was Old Meng, who was somewhat timid and spoke softly. He said, "You can just call me Old Meng. What I know are the methods of a beast master, and Chen Duo... never mind."

Next up was Black Pipe: "I'm pretty good at close combat, and I can also snipe from a distance."

Xiao Zizai pushed up his glasses, which reflected the light, and said in a rather amiable manner, "Xiao Zizai, I do this job simply because it satisfies my personal fetish."

What kind of quirks/hobbies?

kill.

However, Xiao Zizai has his own set of principles regarding who should be killed and who shouldn't, and he won't indiscriminately kill innocent people.

Becoming a temporary worker at Nadutong was able to alleviate his inner demons to some extent, but it was only a drop in the bucket.

If the root cause is not addressed, Xiao Zizai will one day be consumed by the demon of killing and become a madman who only knows how to kill.

Jiang Liu could see this, but he didn't say it out loud.

Following this were self-introductions from Zhang Chulan, Feng Baobao, and Feng Shayan.

In this way, everyone can recognize and understand each other's approximate abilities.

"Then let's analyze our objectives."

Seeing this, Jiang Liu got straight to the point: "Retrieving my lost items: the Hetu Luoshu is the primary objective; second, arresting and killing Chen Duo, the person in charge of Nadutong; and third, destroying the organization that Chen Duo joined."

First, the location needs to be determined.

In other words, where is Chen Duo?

"Biyou Village is a small village nestled in the mountains of Liupanshui, Guizhou."

Wang Zhenqiu replied with a smile, "In terms of intelligence, if our company claims to be second, no other force dares to claim to be first. Even Jianghu Xiaozhan and the recently emerging Yaoxing Society are far behind Nadutong, which is backed by the official Shenzhou government."

This is indeed an advantage that GoAcross is far superior to what non-governmental organizations can match.

"Alright, let's head to Biyou Village."

Jiang Liu waved his hand.

"No, brother, aren't we going to plan out some specific action plans? Like, a strategy or something?" Wang Zhenqiu asked.

"Plans can't keep up with changes. The strategy for this operation is to find Chen Duo, retrieve my lost items, and destroy Biyou Village. The specific action is to go to Biyou Village to see for myself."

After Jiang Liu finished speaking, he added, "I also know something about the company's temporary worker system. To sum it up, it's just one sentence: you get paid well for doing dirty work, but if things get out of hand, you'll have to take responsibility yourselves."

Biyou Village has both extraordinary individuals and ordinary people. Zhao Fangxu has already lowered the bar considerably by gathering all of you temporary workers to handle this situation.

As long as things don't escalate, murder and arson are acceptable.

is not it? "

"What?! Ordinary people from Biyou Village can be killed?"

Feng Shayan exclaimed in surprise, seeing that the temporary workers of Na Du Tong had all fallen silent, and couldn't help but have a new understanding of Na Du Tong's bottom line.

"If necessary, yes."

Xiao Ziyi grinned, seemingly quite pleased.

“The company did not authorize it, but we accidentally killed ordinary villagers, and the company tacitly approved of it.”

Wang Zhenqiu smiled slightly, "Since he's a temporary worker, he'll naturally take the blame."

However, since things have escalated, we have to take responsibility ourselves.

In this way, we can put pressure on Biyou Village and avoid a direct conflict between the company and Biyou Village, killing two birds with one stone!

This is the purpose of temporary workers.

"Cough cough!"

Zhao Fangxu coughed and said, "Qiu'er, be careful, I haven't gone out yet."

"Oh, Chairman Zhao, you're still here? I'm so sorry, I didn't notice you. Let me take you to your office!" Wang Zhenqiu scurried up to Zhao Fangxu, his face beaming with a fawning smile...

···

After Wang Zhenqiu returned to the team, Jiang Liu identified the direction of Liupanshui, Guizhou. He used his Qi to move with the airflow and his magnetic field to move with the field, carrying the group of people and traveling through the world. In just over an hour, they arrived in Liupanshui.

The Liupanshui River is lush and verdant, with steep and towering hills.

The karst landforms are magnificent, with stone forests and caves vying for beauty.

Despite the magnificent scenery, apart from Jiang Liu and Feng Baobao, everyone else was in a state of turmoil, their faces pale, kneeling and retching, and no one was in the mood to appreciate it.

Without him.

The skill of flying is an extraordinary path, requiring the opening of the nine orifices and the connection of the eight meridians. The technique differs from that of Jiang Liu, and it will also be subject to some fluctuations.

Zhang Chulan and Feng Shayan were flying with Jiang Liu for the second time, and they recovered earlier than the others. They said, "Brother Jiang, let's take airplanes or high-speed trains in the future. We're really not used to it."

"That's hard to say."

Jiang Liu shrugged, cultivated a breath of innate Qi, exhaled it, and let it enter through the fontanelles of Wang Zhenqiu and the others who had not yet recovered, penetrating their internal organs and relieving their discomfort.

"This is a real big shot!"

After recovering, Wang Zhenqiu gave a thumbs-up and said with a grin, "Can you teach me?"

"It's possible, but with your current level of cultivation, it will be difficult to succeed."

After saying that, Jiang Liu ignored the noisy Wang Zhenqiu and used his mental power to scan the entire Liupanshui area, instantly finding the location of Biyou Village.

There was just one thing that puzzled him.

He did not sense any trace of the Hetu and Luoshu.

Could it be that the Hetu Luoshu entered the cultivation furnace together with Chen Duo?
