From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

When Jiang Liu's mental energy scanning was mentioned, everyone still felt that this method was practically like having a "full-map X-ray vision cheat," something unimaginable...

# Chapter 609 Now that we've killed people, it's time to set fires.

Biyou Village —

It definitely needs to be resolved.

King against king, general against general, including Jiang Liu, destroying Biyou Village would be an easy task.

If they could, apart from the truly twisted Xiao Zizai, no one present would want to indiscriminately kill innocent people.

At the very least, the ordinary people of Biyou Village should be driven away first.

How do we drive away ordinary people?

Speaking of dealing with Biyou Village, Old Meng adjusted his glasses and asked, "Should we just use our abilities to scare them away? If you could help me find a swarm of wasps, I might be able to succeed."

"Simple, just set it on fire."

The moment Jiang Liu spoke, he drew the attention of all the temporary workers, as well as Zhang Chulan and Feng Shayan.

Wind and Sand Swallow asked tentatively, "Is it the 'arson' I'm thinking of? Or is there some other metaphor involved?"

"No metaphor, it's just like the arson you're thinking of."

Jiang Liu chuckled, "You can go then. Although you're not an employee of All-Tong, as my disciple, you can't just be a bystander. You need to be involved."

Sense of participation?

Feng Shayan felt she had chosen the wrong master!

First they wanted her to kill someone, now they want her to set fires—

Depend on!

What kind of master teaches his disciple like this?

Despite her inner complaints, Fengshayan was actually quite excited.

Why?

She can't really be considered a good girl.

In the past, his rebellion was only superficial; he never truly dared to break with Feng Zhenghao.

Just like when she secretly ran back to Longhu Mountain, she used the excuse of going to the toilet.

And now-

The sand martins are embarking on a true path of "rebellion"!

"Hey, Brother Jiang, isn't this how you feel involved?" Zhang Chulan was sweating profusely. "Setting a fire isn't a good idea, is it?"

Wang Zhenqiu laughed and said, "I think it's fine."

Xiao Zizai pushed up his reflective glasses and smiled, "Okay, this is the simplest way."

Black Pipe stroked his beard and agreed, "That's right. Most people would run out if they saw a fire."

Old Meng also said, "That's the only way."

Erzhuang's emoji appeared on everyone's phones, accompanied by the text: "Agreed!"

Feng Baobao went even further, taking out her phone and ordering a large case of high-alcohol-content liquor and beer online, essentially preparing tools for Feng Shayan to set on fire.

"..."

At this moment, Zhang Chulan realized that he was completely out of place with these guys. Even Feng Shayan, who seemed normal, seemed to be gradually developing in an "abnormal" direction after becoming Jiang Liu's disciple.

"Chu Lan, you are the weakest in combat. As for the method of stimulating the meridians with lightning techniques to increase cultivation in a short time... it's best not to use it if you don't have the conditions like your master. The right path is to honestly cultivate your life force internally and focus on the cultivation of golden light."

Jiang Liu also gave Zhang Chulan a heads-up: "So, in the next operation, your task is to fool Ma Xianhong, who treats you like family, and chat with him every day. As long as you don't offend him, he'll just get impatient at most."

"Wow, Chu Lan, I never would have guessed you had such a silver tongue that you managed to convince Ma Xianhong to consider you family?"

Wang Zhenqiu hooked his arm around Zhang Chulan's shoulder and asked with a grin, "Teach me too? I love making friends!"

Zhang Chulan remained silent.

Making friends?

He knew perfectly well that Wang Zhenqiu was a bastard who loved trouble and just wanted to have some fun.

Then, Jiang Liu asked the others, "The ordinary people have been dealt with, now it's the extraordinary people who are left."

Most of the supernatural beings in this village are not strong; they rely on magical artifacts.

The crafting of magical artifacts is not easy.

Generally speaking, a magical artifact crafted by a weapon refiner can only be used in conjunction with their own cultivation technique. If someone else takes it away and does not understand the other party's cultivation technique, simply injecting Qi into it will not enable the artifact to exert its special abilities.

The magical artifacts of Biyou Village were most likely crafted by Ma Xianhong alone... presumably using one of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, the Divine Refinement Technique.

When it came to the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, Zhang Chulan frowned slightly, hesitating to speak. He wanted to ask Jiang Liu about the specifics of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, but felt that it was not the right time.

Hei Guan'er said, "The Eight Extraordinary Skills? Then Divine Refinement is the art of weapon crafting, right? Ordinary weapon craftsmen are artisans who spend their whole lives meticulously crafting one or two magical artifacts, so someone who has mastered Divine Refinement is like running a magical artifact factory?"

"That's the basic understanding. However, the most important function of any method is to refine oneself and one's mind, not such superficial things."

Jiang Liu added, "But there's no need to worry about it. I saw before that Ma Xianhong's application of the Divine Hundred Refinements is only at the superficial stage. He hasn't reached the level of using the nine orifices as a cauldron and the eight meridians as a furnace. He can't use the human body as a cauldron to refine his own heart. Otherwise, his amnesia problem would be child's play."

Everyone: "......"

"Boss, please don't talk about cultivation levels that we can't even understand yet, okay?" Wang Zhenqiu said, a bit of a toothache in his eyes. "Just how strong is Ma Xianhong?"

“Without magical artifacts, Zhang Chulan can easily subdue him, but he is covered in magical artifacts, which allow him to hold his own against all of you for quite some time,” Jiang Liu commented. “This is just a basic comparison of life and death. However, he seems somewhat naive, and his combat skills are likely inferior to those of you temporary workers who often have to live on the edge.”

In other words, it can be acquired.

Hei Guan'er roughly determined Ma Xianhong's combat strength range, "Then what we need to do next is to take care of those powerful guys in Biyou Village first, there are twelve of them, they say they have some kind of superior talent."

"Ma Xianhong is called the cult leader by the villagers. He wants to establish a new sect and has even recruited the 'Twelve Golden Immortals.' He's just too much of a chuunibyou!" After leaving her familiar environment, Feng Shayan realized the diversity of people and became more and more excited about the "fire-setting" event five days later.

"It's normal for teenagers to be a bit immature."

Jiang Liu commented, "Actually, I do agree with some of Ma Xianhong's ideas. As long as it doesn't directly transform people into superhumans and make up for the missing cultivation process, it's not necessarily a bad thing."

Upon hearing this, Hei Guan'er paused for a moment, then whispered, "Well, the number of superhumans is actually limited. If it exceeds that limit, the higher-ups... might take action."

"Of course I know about the population red line, but you'd be a fool to actually believe it. It's an objective force, and anyone with a brain would think about studying and utilizing it. Do you really think the East and West can coexist harmoniously? The competition behind the scenes is fierce!"

Jiang Liu shrugged. "Especially when there are foreign powers involved."

"A foreign superhuman?" Zhang Chulan pondered. "I did indeed see a foreigner at Longhu Mountain who was connected to the Quanxing Sect..."

Jiang Liu shook his head: "No, I was talking about aliens."

Zhang Chulan: "???"

The other temporary workers were also somewhat confused.

Only Wang Zhenqiu shuddered, suspecting that Jiang Liu might have had contact with extraterrestrial forces...

# Chapter 610 To catch the thief, first catch the king

"Extraterrestrials do exist, this guy surnamed Wang..."

Jiang Liu had just pointed at Wang Zhenqiu when Xiao Zizai hooked his arm around the latter's neck and said with a smile, "I knew your appearance was a bit too peculiar. Turns out you're not human, you're an alien."

Is it an invasion of Earth?

Then I'll kill you!

"Stop joking, Brother Xiao, I'm not an alien."

Wang Zhenqiu chuckled awkwardly, but he knew that if he didn't say something, he would probably be tested by these "mentally ill" people. So he said, "Although I don't really want to talk about the past, I did work in a third-kind contact department for a while... I only joined NaDuTong because I got tired of that place."

Having said that, seeing Jiang Liu staring at him, Wang Zhenqiu could only take out a jar.

The moment the lid was opened, a square, pinkish thing that looked similar to a "meat Ganoderma lucidum" jumped out and landed on the ground.

Zhang Chulan: "???"

Feng Shayan blurted out, "This isn't for pleasure... cough cough."

"Get up, stop pretending to be massage supplies. These are my new friends, I trust them." Wang Zhenqiu stomped down, but the fleshy Ganoderma actually jumped up on its own, stretching out its short limbs, and revealing a middle-aged man's face.

"Wow! So this is what aliens look like?"

Zhang Chulan had watched many science fiction movies, and most aliens were "big-headed dolls," but he never expected them to look so bizarre.

"What? You look down on this old man?"

This "flesh-like spirit mushroom" spoke in a human voice, put its hands on its hips, and grinned, saying, "The creatures on this barbaric and backward planet are so rude. I am the most handsome individual on my planet!"

"The existence of aliens has always been known to the authorities. With this precautionary measure, the higher-ups will never give up any resources that can be utilized."

Jiang Liudao said, "The population red line is a joke. Only All-Knowing and other organizations that manage supernatural beings care about it. In this modern era with advanced science and technology, the only things the higher-ups need to consider besides people's livelihood are the invasion of 'extraterrestrial demons'."

The number of superhumans is not the problem; the problem is that they cause trouble.

Ma Xianhong's only mistake was being too idealistic and neglecting the mental and emotional aspects of cultivation. That's all.

"Extraterrestrial demons? Your whole family are extraterrestrial demons!"

The flesh spirit mushroom was somewhat angry, but Jiang Liu grabbed it and held it firmly in his grasp. He sensed its body with his Qi, narrowed his eyes, and said, "It has no internal organs and is in a semi-material, semi-energy state... Is this caused by the environment of your home planet, or by your technological modifications?"

The meat spirit mushroom immediately shut its mouth.

Seeing this, Jiang Liu didn't ask any more questions. He tossed him back to Wang Zhenqiu and directly transmitted his voice: "Don't think you've truly 'tamed' him. When it comes to certain matters of principle, he might not necessarily side with humans."

Afterwards, ignoring Wang Zhenqiu's thoughtful expression, Jiang Liu fiddled with his phone screen, contacted Erzhuang, and asked, "About those 'Twelve Golden Immortals,' Erzhuang, with your abilities, finding them should be a piece of cake, right? Tell me about it."

"Second Sister Zhuang?"

Er Zhuang was somewhat flattered, but he still compiled the information on the twelve superior talents of Biyou Village and sent it to the mobile phones of everyone present.

"Persuade those who can be persuaded, and take back those who can be taken back."

Jiang Liu said, "It doesn't matter if things get out of hand in the deep mountains and forests, but human life is precious. As long as they haven't committed any unforgivable crimes, we should give them a chance. If they really won't listen, we'll show our compassion with ruthless measures and give them a quick death. If they have any martial arts manuals on them, they'll be ours. If you don't want them, just give them to me."
