From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Before Xiaoyu could get excited, Chen Long stopped her, saying, "You can't forge weapons! Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to control Xiaoyu in the future!"

"Hey!"

Xiaoyu let out a dissatisfied cry.

"Don't worry, Uncle Long. There's no rush to refine the five weapons externally, but refining them internally is fine. This is a skill that requires patience. You can't succeed if you only work on it sporadically. This is a good opportunity for Xiaoyu to focus on doing something."

Forging divine weapons requires patience, and the same applies to internal cultivation. This can help Xiaoyu calm her restless mind.

To reassure Chen Long, Jiang Liu then said to Xiao Yu, "Besides this, the highest level of this technique is called: 'Stopping War is the Essence of Martial Arts'."

"Use war to sustain war, in order to seek peace."

as predicted.

Upon hearing the saying "to stop war is true martial arts," Chen Long felt reassured, believing that this Five Military Strategies also contained the philosophy of "the way of peace."

"Cool~"

Xiaoyu's eyes lit up.

But when the method of cultivating the Five Armies Techniques was transmitted to her mind through the light, she looked at the dense text and pictures, her eyelids immediately drooped, and she asked, "I can't understand it."

"Once you have a sufficient understanding of your own muscles, bones, skin, internal organs, spirit, and brain, you will be able to understand it."

Jiang Liu smiled slightly.

The implication is:

Study medicine first!

To be honest.

Xiaoyu's early mastery of the Great Circulation of Qi, achieved through a series of fortuitous events, and her transformation of the Fish-Dragon Talisman into Fish Talisman Soldiers and Dragon Seal Soldiers, was beyond Jiang Liu's expectations.

In addition, Xiaoyu has a lively and unconventional personality—

Even though the Five Weapons Technique is a method that requires calming the mind and tempering the five internal organs as divine weapons, Xiaoyu's temperament needs to be more stable before she can truly begin to practice it.

"Indeed, Professor Hamand was right, knowledge is power."

Even so, the words came out of Xiaoyu's mouth with a hint of sarcasm.

Children are indeed impulsive, and Xiaoyu changed the subject again, saying, "By the way!"

Halloween was over half a month ago, and Christmas is just three days away. Once we get home, we can start preparing for the holiday again.

It's amazing!

Do you celebrate Christmas where you are?

"Christmas?"

Lu Jin and Duanmu Ying did have some recollection of this festival. "Is it the day that celebrates the birth of Jesus? It's related to Christianity."

"Jesus?"

Chen Long, Old Man, Tru, Bull Warrior, and Little Snake looked at each other, as if they had never heard of this person before.

This spacetime is the same as the spacetime in which Jiang Liu and others live, and it contains Christianity.

But Jesus does not exist...

# Chapter 910 Christmas Elf

"Jesus doesn't exist? Then why call it Christmas?"

Duanmu Ying was completely bewildered.

Even if she knew nothing about the specific doctrines of Christianity, she understood that the word "Christmas" was to commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ, the Savior.

It couldn't possibly be because of that made-up Santa Claus who wears a red coat and hat, rides a reindeer sleigh, and delivers gifts to good children every year, could it?

"Because of Santa Claus."

The old man took off his glasses, wiped them carefully, and said truthfully, "In all my years, I've never heard of Jesus. The reason this holiday is called Christmas is because of Santa Claus."

So, Jiang Liu quietly opened his eyes and investigated briefly.

Good guy!

In this timeline, Santa Claus is no longer a fictional character from fairy tales, but a real old man, an existence akin to an "immortal god."

"Cool! Santa Claus really exists!"

Xiaoyu exclaimed in surprise and asked, "Dad, where does he live? In the Arctic?"

"That's right, in the Arctic."

The old man recounted, "Every Christmas, Santa Claus would command the elves to prepare gifts, ride their sleighs and reindeer, and with incredible magic, travel through all the areas where people live overnight to bring gifts to the children."

Good children naturally receive the gifts they desire.

And bad kids—

It was a piece of coal, used as a warning.

"So, Xiaoyu, you must be a good child so that Santa Claus will buy you presents."

Although there is no Jesus in this world, Chen Long considers Santa Claus to be just a legend.

"Santa's gifts are not bought with money."

The old man corrected Chen Long, "They were made in the magic gift factory..."

pity.

Apart from Jiang Liu, Lu Jin, and Duanmu Ying, everyone else, including Xiao Yu, was skeptical about the existence of Santa Claus...

···

By the time everyone returned to San Francisco, a day had already passed. In preparation for Christmas two days later, Jiang Liu and Chen Long went to District 13 to store the Demon Dragon and the Bagua Talisman respectively, and then went together to purchase the things needed for Christmas.

The group split up and took action separately.

My father is old and has difficulty moving around, so he stays home to run the shop.

I bought pine trees in Trudeau, ham on Niu Zhanshi West Street, bells in Xiao She South Alley, and lanterns on Chenlong North Road.

Lu Jin went out to buy the gifts that Xiao Yu and Parker wanted, while Duanmu Ying cut paper and pasted window decorations.

As for the river flow?

I took Xiaoyu and Parker to the children's playground!

This was because Jiang Liu's family was poor in his previous life and he rarely went to amusement parks. Even when he did go, he would hesitate to participate in the attractions that required money.

In this life, spiritual practice requires a balance between work and rest; otherwise, it will only be a form of self-torture.

Now that I have the chance to make up for some of the regrets from my past life, how can I let it go?

It is precisely because Jiang Liu has a pure heart that, even with such supernatural powers, he can still play with children like Xiao Yu and Parker.

An image to maintain?

does not exist!

It wasn't until 1 p.m. that Jiang Liu returned to his father's antique shop with Xiao Yu and Parker.

Sheriff Black also arrived at the antique shop, but brought Chen Long bad news: the Super Moose - Purple Collector's Edition was sold out, and even with the full force of District 13, it was to no avail.

Although Jade has caused a lot of trouble for District 13, she has also brought joy, so the officers in District 13 actually dote on her a lot.

Super Moose is a wildly popular IP in this timeline, comparable to Mickey Mouse in Jiang Liu's memory. It's a global phenomenon, and the limited edition toys were snapped up by collectors as soon as they were released.

"That's troublesome."

Chen Long glanced at Xiaoyu, who had returned from the amusement park with Jiang Liu, and scratched his head. "Xiaoyu has always wanted the purple collector's edition of the Super Moose."

“Relax, Chen Long, I think Santa Claus will grant our wishes,” Blake laughed.

"You actually bought it?"

Chen Long was delighted.

"No, I mean, Santa Claus is real."

Sheriff Black, having heard about Santa Claus from his father, reassured him, "Magic exists, so what about Santa Claus?"

Chen Long: "......I'll just take it as a joke."

jingle!

Just now.

The shop door was pushed open, and a person who was 1.2 meters tall, had pointed ears, and was dressed in a costume similar to that of a comedy performance walked in.

"We are not accepting guests today..."

When the old man saw what the little dwarf looked like, his voice stopped abruptly, and he exclaimed in surprise, "It's a Christmas elf!"

"Dad, did you ask my classmate to pretend to be an elf?"

Xiaoyu was speechless. She stepped forward and took a closer look, only to find that the guy, who was about the same height as her, had an unfamiliar face. She tentatively asked, "Are you from another school?"

"No, I'm not a student, I'm just a Christmas elf."

The little elf introduced itself, then looked at Jiang Liu with a respectful expression in its eyes. It bowed slightly and said, "Please forgive my uninvited arrival, great immortal god, but the matter is urgent, and we need your and your friends' help."

"I wonder what you need me to do?"

"Santa Claus has been kidnapped."

The little elf's eyes sharpened, and he got straight to the point, pulling out another doll from his pocket. It had white hair, heterochromatic eyes, and wore a black robe.

"It's a Blade Dragon!"

"Wasn't he locked up in jail?" the old man exclaimed.

"About this—"

Sheriff Blake explained, "He was released yesterday after serving his sentence."
