From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

therefore.

Even if Ren Wei is an ordinary person, as long as he is alive and his cells are carrying out basic life activities, the Qi in his body is working instinctively.

The effect of this rouge powder is similar to the millet-thousand-pound fixation technique performed by Xiao Bingyi in the Jiyun Society magic troupe.

Under the influence of Qi, millet can produce threads that bind and restrain others.

However, this rouge powder can absorb qi and adhere to the surface of a person's body... At present, it seems to have only this one function.

"Only adsorption? No toxicity?"

Li Muxuan asked.

"Poison? I don't know much about it, but at least it didn't have a negative effect on Ren Wei. It even seemed to make his blood and qi slightly stronger than usual."

Using the strange technique he had been given, Jiang Liu made a detailed comparison of Ren Wei's magnetic field fluctuations yesterday and today, and confirmed this.

"Could it be that there really is a female supernatural being who likes someone like him?"

Lu Jin made an extremely bold guess.

"If that's really the case, how desperate must that female superhuman be?" Li Muxuan couldn't understand how a female superhuman could possibly be interested in Ren Wei, given his appearance and personality.

It's one thing for an ordinary woman to be interested in Ren Wei's position as a military captain, and the power and wealth that comes with it; it's understandable.

For example, Ma Bangde's wife in Goose City, who only wanted to be the "county magistrate's wife" regardless of who the county magistrate was.

Given the current environment, striving for survival, enjoying wealth and status, and climbing the social ladder isn't necessarily wrong. After all, most people don't have the ability to change the world.

But these extraordinary people are all practitioners, regardless of gender. How many of them would abandon their dignity because they value these things?

Unless it's the entire sex!

Or perhaps it's Yemaoshan!

Most of these two types of people don't value these things, but one by one, they have all abandoned the dignity of a cultivator. Some of them are a bit outrageous, but it doesn't seem to be a big problem.

"Why don't we ask Ren Wei about him?"

Lu Jin asked, "Besides Uncle Jiu and the others, are we the only other extraordinary people in this town?"

"They could also be outsiders like us."

Li Muxuan suggested another possibility, "But to inexplicably leave a red lip print on a captain of soldiers that can be absorbed by the Qi that dissipates through the body's natural activities must have some ulterior motive. Even if there isn't, and he just wants to teach Ren Wei a lesson like I do, then as fellow extraordinary individuals, it would be reasonable for us to pay him a visit."

This is not true.

Even if people from different backgrounds are not familiar with each other, as long as they are not from the Quanxing sect, they can openly visit and communicate with each other. If they are compatible, they can become friends.

"It won't be easy to get the information out of Ren Wei."

Unlike landlords like Huang Silang, Ren Wei was at most a local ruffian, and also the captain of the soldiers in Renjia Town. If you wanted to get information about that female supernatural being from him through normal means, you would have to offer him some benefits.

Of course.

Given Ren Wei's personality, he's probably all bark and no bite. A little private threatening would be enough to get him to spill everything. But if we did that, the only difference between the three of them and Quanxing would be that they don't publicly declare themselves as Quanxing.

Therefore, Jiang Liu planned to ask Uncle Jiu about the origin of the rouge later, since he had lived in Renjia Town for many years and should know something about the strange people and techniques in the area.

"Miss, do you want to buy rouge?"

Just then, Ren Tingting stopped outside a rouge shop and asked the young man looking after the shop about the price of rouge.

The young man was quite handsome. He wasn't afraid of Ren Wei, who was fawning over Ren Tingting. In fact, a hint of disdain appeared in his eyes. "I have the best rouge in the whole town. My aunt bought it from the big city. It's very affordable."

"It is indeed a top-quality rouge."

Ren Tingting had a good understanding of rouge. She picked up a box, opened it, smelled it, and nodded, saying, "Wrap it up for me."

"okay."

As the young man spoke, he helped Ren Tingting put the rouge into a paper bag, then took out another box and introduced it, "Would you like to try this one? My aunt brought this from the southwest of our province. It's said to be made using traditional Miao methods, and it can also nourish the skin and give you a rosy complexion!"

"Hey, stop with the nonsense, just wrap up the rouge," Ren Wei said impatiently.

"You don't understand rouge."

The young man retorted to Ren Wei, then smiled obsequiously at Ren Tingting, saying, "Try it, it really works."

"No."

This area in southwestern Hunan is Miao territory, and Ren Tingting didn't want to come into contact with anything related to insects. Even if the Miao folk rouge was really effective, she was unwilling to try it.

Helpless, the young man had no choice but to put away the rouge.

But Jiang Liu stepped forward and asked, "Can you sell me this Miao-style rouge?"

"What? A grown man wearing rouge?"

He asked the question.

"…Just buying it for fun."

Jiang Liu felt that this person was a bit bad at business.

"Play? I can't sell that to you!"

To everyone's surprise, the young man refused to sell it, saying, "My aunt said that rouge is for women, and it shouldn't be given to men to play with."

"That's it."

Jiang Liu didn't insist, but he still wanted to confirm the man's identity. "May I ask what your name is, brother?"

"What? Looking for trouble? I don't change my name, I'm Qiu Sheng!" the man said proudly. "You calling me 'Big Brother' is really the right thing to do; everyone in this town has to give me face!"

"Ninth Uncle's apprentice?"

Jiang Liu smiled.

"Yes."

Qiu Sheng was also surprised, "I know almost everyone in this town. You guys are from out of town, right?"

"Sanyi Gate, Lu Jin."

"Sanyi Sect, Li Muxuan."

The two men clasped their hands in greeting and introduced themselves.

"Sanyi Sect? I don't know it, and I've never heard my master mention it." Qiu Sheng scratched the back of his head, somewhat puzzled.

Jiang Liu could understand.

Compared to Wen Cai, Qiu Sheng's aptitude for Qi cultivation is quite good, but his mind doesn't seem to be focused on Qi cultivation. His personality is rather unconventional. Although he has already opened his Ren and Du meridians and can circulate Qi through the Small Heavenly Circuit, he can only use Qi to strengthen himself and increase his strength, but he can't unleash any special abilities…

# Chapter 83 The Case of the Stolen Corpse

"You bastard—"

When Qiu Sheng said he had never heard of the Sanyi Xuanmen, Lu Jin didn't care, but Li Muxuan, who greatly admired Zuo Ruotong, bared his fangs.

If we weren't on the street with a large crowd, we would have taught this guy a good lesson.

"Um... is there any need to be so angry?"

Qiu Sheng had opened up the Ren and Du meridians, and could be considered to have officially embarked on the path of Qi cultivation. He could sense the faint Qi aura revealed by Li Muxuan and exclaimed in his heart that he was a monster!

Is this the kind of spirit a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy should have?

"Hmph! I'm not going to stoop to your level!"

Li Muxuan held back when Lu Jin touched his shoulder. In truth, they were both from the Xuanmen sect, and it would be impolite to attack someone just because they didn't know the reputation of the Sanyi sect.

Furthermore!

Qiu Sheng is already over twenty years old, and he has only just opened up the Ren and Du meridians, officially embarking on the path of Qi cultivation... His aptitude is so poor, which is probably why Uncle Jiu didn't tell him much about the sects in the world of supernatural beings.

With this kind of talent, he'll probably only be able to stay in the vicinity of Renjia Town for the rest of his life.

"Since we are both cultivators, I will speak frankly."

Jiang Liu interjected, saying to Qiu Sheng, "Your rouge, made using traditional Miao methods, might be related to something I'd like to verify. Would you sell it to me?"

"Row."

Qiu Sheng was much more emotionally intelligent than Wen Cai, and without hesitation, he handed the palm-sized rouge box to Jiang Liu, saying, "Consider it a gift I owe for saying the wrong thing earlier, no need to pay."

"The money still needs to be paid."

Jiang Liu accepted the rouge box and paid with a smile, not wanting to take advantage of Qiu Sheng. After all, he knew that Qiu Sheng was just helping his aunt run the shop, and if he gave it to him for free, his aunt might scold him.

Thanks.

Seeing that Jiang Liu had taken out the money, Qiu Sheng didn't stand on ceremony and immediately accepted it. He put his arm around Jiang Liu's shoulder and said with a smile, "If you encounter any trouble in town, you can come directly to me. If I can't solve it, I'll take you to my master. He has a good reputation in town, and everyone calls him 'Uncle Nine' and gives him some face."

"If necessary, I will definitely go and nag."

Jiang Liu clasped his hands in a fist and smiled.

After walking some distance from the cosmetics shop, Ren Tingting suddenly asked, "Do you know the people at that cosmetics shop?"

“I don’t know him, but all cultivators in the world are one family, without distinction between you, me, and him,” Jiang Liu explained.

"oh···"

Ren Tingting nodded without asking any further questions.

A short while later.

The group arrived at the Western-style teahouse.

Ren Wei also wanted to go in and accompany Ren Tingting, but his soldier ran over and whispered something in his ear. He could only apologize and smile apologetically to Ren Tingting, who didn't care about him at all, and then quickly left with the soldier.

Having mastered the innate talisman diagram and gained the method of "seeing all things," even without using it, his hearing was much better than usual. Jiang Liu heard the soldier's entire speech and was slightly surprised:

[Captain, something terrible has happened! Seven or eight people have reported that graves in the nearby cemetery have been dug up and bodies stolen!]

That's what the soldier said.

If it weren't for the surrounding environment reminding Jiang Liu that this was the Republican era, he would have thought he had traveled back to the beginning of the main storyline of Under One Person!

Stealing a corpse?

This is a very rare thing.
