From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

He's not familiar with him.

He also took precautions against the company.

"I have no reputation in the world of supernatural beings, so I'm not someone you've heard of for long. I'm just here to find something I've lost..."

# Chapter 606 The essence of "education for all" lies in "education".

After a moment of silence at Jiang Liu's directness, Ma Xianhong poured tea for the two men and said, "Mr. Jiang, your timing is truly unfortunate."

The Hetu and Luoshu you mentioned are with Chen Duo, and she is currently cultivating in my cultivation furnace in order to resolve her own problems.

It may take three to five days.

"Three to five days?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Liu nodded thoughtfully, "Could you arrange accommodation for us during this time? The people from Na Du Tong also need to ask Chen Duo some questions."

“My Biyou Village has always welcomed guests,” Ma Xianhong said with a smile, then asked, “I wonder how much Mr. Jiang knows about weapon crafting?”

"The Hetu and Luoshu were created by me."

Since Chen Duo was in that cultivation furnace, Ma Xianhong must have seen the Hetu Luoshu. Now, how could he not know that Jiang Liu could refine weapons?

He asked the question knowing the answer already, just to pique Jiang Liu's curiosity.

"Then what is your opinion on the craft of weapon crafting, sir?" Ma Xianhong asked again.

"Use acquired things to make up for congenital deficiencies." This is Jiang Liu's only understanding of weapon crafting; everything else is nonsense.

"Sir, you are truly a kindred spirit!"

Ma Xianhong was overjoyed and then asked Zhang Chulan, "We are both inheritors of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques..."

"No! I don't know the Qi Source Flow!" Zhang Chulan quickly denied, unwilling to be labeled as the "successor of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques".

"...They are all descendants of those who comprehended the Eight Extraordinary Techniques," Ma Xianhong changed his words.

This time, Zhang Chulan had no way to refute it.

Ma Xianhong continued, "We should be family, so you can come along too."

then.

Ma Xianhong led Jiang Liu and Zhang Chulan into the house, where they saw a pill furnace about the size of a small warehouse.

"This is a body-cultivating furnace."

Ma Xianhong opened his arms wide and solemnly introduced to the two, "I have a dream: a world of great harmony! Therefore, it can make up for the innate deficiencies of ordinary people and transform them into our kind!"

Zhang Chulan shuddered, suspecting that Ma Xianhong had gone mad.

"What about from a private perspective?"

However, Jiang Liu suddenly asked a question.

"Why do you ask this, sir?" Ma Xianhong calmed down and gazed at the river.

“If one is without selfishness, then one is a saint. I am not even worthy of the title ‘saint,’ let alone you?” Jiang Liu judged others by his own standards, speaking as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Zhang Chulan opened his mouth and said, "Brother Jiang, this...this isn't right, is it?"

Is that how it's said?

Ma Xianhong sighed and said, "I do have selfish motives... I once lost part of my memory and want to restore it through the Body Refinement Furnace."

"Amnesia?"

Zhang Chulan was startled.

His grandfather knew Feng Baobao—the successors of the Eight Extraordinary Skills may all be connected with Feng Baobao, and is there any similarity between Ma Xianhong's amnesia and Feng Baobao's situation?

"I don't want to talk about this anymore."

Ma Xianhong's attention returned to the Body Refinement Furnace. "Originally, I needed a sorcerer to help me complete the Body Refinement Furnace, but with the help of the River Chart and Luo Book, I perfected it myself..."

The Hetu and Luoshu have combination locks.

The front side features the Qian trigram (Heavenly Stem), and the back side features the Kun trigram (Earthly Ste

Ma Xianhong did not understand the ways of sorcerers, but as a practitioner, he had a certain understanding of the Four Books and Five Classics, the Book of Changes, and other books.

Furthermore, he understood the principle of using acquired knowledge to supplement innate knowledge. Therefore, after understanding the patterns on both sides of the Hetu and Luoshu, he would naturally follow his thinking to decipher the hexagrams and thus open them up.

Once the Hetu and Luoshu are opened, one can use the Qi to create a small cycle of Qi formations, which is similar to the Qimen Dunjia formation.

With this alone, combined with the Divine Refinement Technique, Ma Xianhong was able to perfect the Body Refinement Furnace according to his intuition.

That's right!

Just go by your gut feeling!

Sometimes, spiritual practice doesn't require understanding too much about Taoist scriptures, Buddhist texts, or the circulation of meridians in the human body. In fact, most people with innate extraordinary abilities don't even bother to read spiritual texts.

Take Zhang Chulan as an example. He is not a naturally gifted person, but rather someone who has cultivated himself. However, he has never read any Taoist scriptures, nor does he understand the specific principles of cultivation. All he knows is the method of cultivating Qi and the cultivation philosophy in Journey to the West that his grandfather, Zhang Huaiyi, told him.

Knowing how to cultivate Qi and understand spiritual practice —

These are two different concepts.

Ma Xianhong understands some principles of cultivation, but only half of them. His ability to crack the code of the Hetu Luoshu is merely a matter of finding the right solution for the problem.

If he truly understood the principles of cultivation, he wouldn't have thought of using the cultivation furnace to achieve universal harmony, because the essence of education for all lies in the word "education," not "refinement."

"...Once Chen Duo comes out, I can go in and use that to repair my lost memories! Hahaha!" Ma Xianhong excitedly raised his arms and laughed loudly.

This moment.

He was more like a child wanting his wish fulfilled than a person who had cultivated himself for many years.

But Jiang Liu knew that the Body Refining Furnace could not repair Ma Xianhong's lost childhood memories.

Without him.

The loss of memory is generally related to brain cell damage, aging, and death. However, Ma Xianhong's brain nerves were not damaged; they were simply covered by an additional cognitive network, built on one of its cores, which altered Ma Xianhong's memory cognition.

Feelings are etched into memory, memory gives birth to thought, thought forms consciousness, consciousness generates ideas, ideas inspire the spirit, the spirit elevates the soul, and the soul guides the primordial spirit.

Once memories are altered, a person's cognition is also affected.

Based on the above analysis of the transmission results of "sensation to the primordial spirit," the true foundation that determines a person's primordial spirit is not memory, but rather originates from the purest source—

Feeling!

That is, emotions!

Therefore, Jiang Liu was certain that as long as Ma Xianhong had an emotional outburst and a mental tremor, there was a high chance that he would be able to break through that layer of cognitive network that had been artificially added later in life, and thus gain his true self.

This is what Ma Xianhong truly desires, not the lost memories of his childhood.

He himself was unaware of this.

Just like Feng Baobao.

What she seeks is not the memories of the past, her identity, or the family she has, but simply the ability to perceive emotions and enjoy happiness like a normal person. That's all.

"Then I'll come back in five days."

Jiang Liu turned and headed towards the door.

"I will personally arrange accommodations for you." Ma Xianhong suspected that he had been a little too emotional just now, and his face turned red. But he quickly regained his composure, saw Jiang Liu and Zhang Chulan out, and personally arranged appropriate rooms for them, Feng Shayan, and the temporary workers of Na Du Tong.

"how is the situation?"

Inside the earthen walls and mud tiles, Wang Zhenqiu inquired about Zhang Chulan's impression of Ma Xianhong.

"He's a good person."

"But the task is too big; his furnace must be destroyed."

The Body Refinement Furnace can restore memories.

Perhaps it will also be useful to Feng Baobao...

However, for the sake of the bigger picture, Zhang Chulan decided to keep it a secret. "According to Ma Xianhong, the Hetu Luoshu that Chen Duo and Brother Jiang are looking for is in that furnace, and it will take three to five days to come out."

"Three to five days? Five days at the latest, then let's wait five days."

Hei Guan'er said, "Rashly damaging the alchemy furnace might also destroy Brother Jiang's book."

"And Chen Duo too!"

The shy Old Meng quickly added, "If she really did return to normal because of that cultivation furnace, I hope everyone can capture her alive, or, let me personally ask her about her attitude..."

# Chapter 607 Chen Duo's Past

"Old Meng, can you tell me about Chen Duo?"

Jiang Liu decided to ask about the specifics and find out exactly how much of a butterfly effect his Hetu Luoshu had caused.

“ε=('ο｀*))) Sigh——”

Old Meng sighed and recounted the whole story in detail.

As Jiang Liu knew, after Na Du Tong destroyed the Medicine Immortal Society, it was Lao Meng who rescued Chen Duo and handed her over to Liao Zhong.

During the time Chen Duo was receiving treatment in the fortress, he would visit her regularly.

From initial ignorance to awakening her true nature, it was similar to what Jiang Liu understood. The only difference was that Chen Duo was instinctively attracted to the Hetu Luoshu.

As Chen Duo approaches the Hetu Luoshu (a mythical river diagram and a magical writing board), the Qi within her body transforms into primal Gu poison, dissipates from her skin, and the toxicity disappears. Furthermore, the primal Gu poison within her body also begins to pulsate instinctively…

What is a Gu-body Saint Child?

The Medicine Immortal Club selected forty-nine exceptionally talented children for training, and the one who survived was the Gu-body Saint Child.

Using the five internal organs as its nest, it processes Qi into primitive Gu poison.

Unlike ordinary Gu poison, the original Gu poison can be transformed into any form of Gu poison through Chen Duo's processing, as long as Chen Duo knows the composition of the Gu poison refined by other Gu masters and can process it. However, there is a fatal problem: Chen Duo's body has become a Gu poison processing plant. As long as she is alive and her cells are still carrying out life activities, she will spontaneously produce Gu poison.

Therefore, she needs to wear protective clothing and must clean and disinfect it every once in a while.
