From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

"Brother, what... what exactly happened?"

Huan Yang stared at Jiang Liu for a long time before asking Gao Hu Zi for the reason.

Hu Fangyuan was also somewhat puzzled.

Does this even need explaining?

Gao Huzi took a breath and was about to speak when Jiang Liu interrupted him with a smile, "I am your fourth brother, and you are my third brother, second brother, and eldest brother."

"The new guy?"

Hu Fangyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, "Then why are you so disrespectful? Why are you sitting in the eldest brother's seat?"

"Second Brother, you're dressed in a suit, looking all respectable, but you're actually so stubborn!"

Jiang Liu picked his nose, pulled out a booger, flicked it lightly, and it stuck to Hu Fangyuan's nose. He explained in a serious tone, "Of course, it's because my elder brother is so kind to me that he let me sit in the main seat."

Furthermore,

By your standards of hierarchy, the eldest brother sits in the second seat and he doesn't even care. Why are you so anxious, second brother? Do you perhaps want the eldest brother to die quickly so you can inherit the top position on King Mountain?

"Alright, please sit down."

The words fell.

Jiang Liu did not linger in the main seat. He slowly got up and led Miss Hong and Miss Liu to the third seat.

"No, no, I...I!"

Hu Fangyuan looked anxious, stammering and unable to speak clearly.

Huan Yang retorted, "Don't try to be unreasonable, brother!"

"Look!"

Just as Gao Huzi was about to speak, Jiang Liu interrupted him again, "I offered you a seat, but you didn't sit down. I feel ashamed to have a second brother like you."

In an instant, Gao Huzi, Hu Fangyuan, and Huan Yang all turned red in the face and glared fiercely at Jiang Liu.

Lu Jin, Zhang Zhiwei, Hong Guniang, and Liu Guniang were all suppressing their laughter, afraid that if they couldn't hold back, they would give away the secret and have to take action.

"I know that I am new here and I cannot win people's hearts if I do not achieve something."

Then Jiang Liu said, "Well then, since Dawang Mountain is currently surrounded by the Gong Sect, I will help you out of this predicament and show you my skills."

Instantly.

Huan Yang changed his attitude and asked, "Fourth brother, are you really willing to leave the Gong faction?"

Hu Fangyuan's expression changed, and he questioned, "It's true that we have superpowers, but how could we possibly be a match for foreign guns and cannons?"

Do you want us to take a gamble?

That's suicide!

Now that Dawang Mountain is under blockade, it's impossible to resupply ammunition, and food supplies are dwindling. How can we possibly outmaneuver them?

In theory.

The longer Dawangshan takes hostages, the more disadvantageous it will be for them.

of course.

It's not that they can't survive.

They crossed the Xiang River to go to another place.

However, this path can only be traversed by extraordinary individuals such as Gao Huzi, Hu Fangyuan, and Huan Yang; ordinary people in the mountain stronghold certainly cannot walk it.

Moreover, if we really have to take this route, we absolutely cannot let the slightest word slip out, otherwise the other bandits in the stronghold will mutiny and betray us, and in order to save their lives, they might even secretly run down the mountain to inform the soldiers sent by Gong!

Besides, Hu Fangyuan did not want to escape now, nor was he willing to personally send troops to retreat! So he said to Gao Huzi, "Brother, do not trust this guy of unknown origin!"

Let's focus all our energy on the Gu-body Saint Child!

Why did we spread this message throughout the entire mountain stronghold? Wasn't it to reassure the people and get them to stand with us through thick and thin?

"By selecting forty-nine infants with abundant innate Qi and refining them using secret methods to create Gu-bodied Saint Children, and leveraging the effects of their Gu poison, not only can we repel the Gong Sect, but we can also slaughter entire cities and destroy entire nations!"

Gao Hu Zi was somewhat tempted, but Jiang Liu shouted, "Don't talk nonsense. I do know about the creation of the Gu Body Saint Child. It is indeed necessary to select forty-nine infants, but the process of creating the Gu Body Saint Child is extremely troublesome. It is necessary to regularly inject specially prepared mixed Gu poison into their bodies to let them adapt, and then let the Gu poison in their bodies affect each other in order to leave only one.

This process will take at least ten years! That is, raising the baby to be around ten years old!

Do you think Dawang Mountain can wait ten years or so?

In an instant.

Tall Beard's face was extremely gloomy.

Ten years or so?

Given the current situation at Dawang Mountain, with ammunition supplies failing and food supplies dwindling, it won't last a year!

"Big brother!"

Hu Fangyuan did not expect that Jiang Liu would also understand the principles of refining Gu Body Saint Child, and suspected that the other party was also a Gu Master. However, seeing that Gao Huzi's eyes were not friendly, he hurriedly said, "What he said is just the ordinary method of refining Gu Body Saint Child, which has a very high failure rate, but I have the secret method of refining Gu Body Saint Child!"

No need to raise a baby for over ten years!

All you need to do is find eighty-one infants—forty boys and forty girls—and place them in an earthenware jar. Pour in the poison I've prepared and let them soak for three days. Then, arrange them according to the twenty-eight constellations to form a formation. The infants and the earthenware jar are the core of the formation. By using the power of the constellations, we can extract the innate Qi of the infants and inject it into the eighty-first infant to give it a continuous source of life.

The eighty-first infant will inevitably be able to adapt to the Gu poison in a very short period of time, thus becoming a Gu-body Saint Child.

Then, the elder brother can kill the baby and obtain its soul for his own use. Since the baby is ignorant and has no knowledge, there is no need for offerings or flattery. It can completely obey the elder brother's orders!

It just needs to periodically devour the souls of infants whose birth dates and times are compatible with the newborn's, as provisions for refining the Gu poison.

"is it?"

Jiang Liu sneered, "I don't believe it!"

"you!"

Hu Fangyuan was shocked and angry, but he did not lash out. He simply said, "Whether you believe it or not is none of my business."

Jiang Liu did not answer, but said to Gao Huzi, "Brother, according to what he said, if he could extract the innate Qi of the other babies, why didn't he inject it into his own body?"

Human lifespan is finite, and one's innate vital energy will eventually be depleted. If one could absorb the innate vital energy of others for one's own use, wouldn't one be able to continuously replenish one's lifespan and achieve immortality?

In an instant!

Gao Huzi was stunned.

Huan Yang was also stunned.

They were all staring at Hu Fangyuan—

He was stunned.

indeed.

Lifespan is linked to primordial Qi. If primordial Qi can be extracted and replenished, why not inject it into one's own body to achieve immortality, instead of refining some kind of Gu-body Saint Child?

Why didn't I think of that back then?

Why didn't my long-lived master think of this?

Hu Fangyuan was puzzled.

But Gao Huzi was tempted!

If one can replenish their lifespan and gain a long life, what does it matter if they give up this Great King Mountain?

If he had a lifespan of a thousand years, what would a mere Great King Mountain be? He could easily build an even more powerful Gao Dynasty in the future!

He with the tall beard became emperor!

"Brother, I happen to know a method to purify the innate Qi of others and replenish one's own depletion." Jiang Liu's words seemed to possess a magical power, making it difficult for Gao Huzi to suppress his emotions any longer.

Without him.

The three corpse gods, Peng Ju, Peng Zhi, and Peng Qiao, secretly exerted their power, invoking the three corpses of Gao Huzi's brain, heart, and feet, and awakening the three thoughts of greed, anger, and ignorance.

Furthermore, since Gao Huzi was originally a member of the Quanxing sect, acting as he pleased, and was also a bandit leader, domineering and unreasonable, the process of drawing his three corpses was quite easy.

All it takes is a thought!

"Brother, don't be fooled by him!"

Hu Fangyuan was extremely anxious. "The Gu-body Saint Child is the most important thing! He is the only way to retreat!"

"In that case, let's split up and act separately."

At this moment, Jiang Liu showed a desire to "make a contribution" and said to Gao Huzi, "Second Brother will continue his plan for the Gu Body Saint Child, and I will also send people to withdraw the soldiers of the Gong Sect."

"You really managed to get them to retreat, and you didn't even have to go yourself?" Gao Huzi asked in surprise.

"If I can't, how can I secure my position as the fourth leader?"

Jiang Liu spoke with righteous indignation, “My two girls are extraordinary. They can walk on mountains of knives without getting hurt, enter seas of fire without getting burned, and descend into icy pools without being harmed.”

Their assassination methods surpassed even those of the Tang Clan assassins.

"Once their leader is assassinated, their troops will become a disorganized rabble. What is there to fear?"

"it is good!"

Gao Hu Zi was overjoyed. Regardless of whether the two girls possessed assassination skills comparable to those of the Tang Clan, he simply said, "If your two girls have such abilities, I am willing to give you the position of the leader! I am happy to be your second brother!"

"A word is settled!"

Jiang Liu stood up, took off the human seed bag hanging on his left arm, handed it to the girl in red, and secretly taught her a mantra. Then he said to Gao Huzi, "Actually, we don't need these two girls to take action together. Just one of them will suffice."

However, it is still necessary for the eldest brother to send someone to accompany them.

Firstly, if I were the only girl to come down the mountain, the brothers in the mountains might not recognize me and might harm me, causing unnecessary trouble.

Secondly, it was also to avoid those with ulterior motives from thinking I was in league with that faction, and thus attacking me.

At this point, Jiang Liu glanced at Hu Fangyuan and Huan Yang with a rather petty eye.

The two of them had twitching eyelids.
