One person: A fusion of Kizaru, the king of the trash-talking gang.

"Brother Zhuge, wait a minute..."

Seeing Zhuge Qing turn and walk towards the door, Ma Xianhong quickly called out to him. He knew it wasn't very kind of him to do this, but he had no other choice...

Originally, he intended to rebuild the cultivation furnace slowly by himself, but after hearing Jiang Bailan's words, Ma Xianhong suddenly realized that by the time he finished repairing the furnace at his own pace, the other party might have already left Biyou Village.

Where would you then find a place to replicate the other person's superpowers?

As for asking Jiang Bailan to stay in Biyou Village for a few more days? Ma Xianhong didn't think he had that kind of nerve!

That's why he set his sights on Zhuge Qing.

Having Zhuge Qing participate in the reconstruction of the Body Refinement Furnace has two advantages: first, it can speed up the reconstruction process; second, it can utilize the other party's understanding of magic to further optimize the Body Refinement Furnace, making it infinitely close to perfection.

When Ma Xianhong was building the Body Cultivation Furnace in the past, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. It wasn't until he saw Zhuge Qing use the Wuhou Qimen at the Luotian Grand Ceremony that he finally realized what was going on.

If he wants to improve his furnace further, he must find a master of divination to help him.

This was also the main reason why he invited Zhuge Qing to Biyou Village.

Zhuge Qing: "..."

Hearing Ma Xianhong calling him from behind, Zhuge Qing was speechless, but still stopped.

"Master Ma, if it's just about repairing the furnace, then forget it..."

Zhuge Qing declared that even if he starved to death, even if he had to leave Biyou Village, he would never be a victim of such a tragedy!

Spanning over 2000 kilometers, without even basic hospitality, all they did was fix things for the other party. Isn't that just plain stupid?

If Jiang Zemin and Wang Lijun found out about this, they would laugh at him for the rest of their lives.

Seeing that the other party had stopped, Ma Xianhong breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Zhuge Qing would leave Biyou Village in a fit of anger, so he slowly took out a booklet from his pouch and handed it to the other party.

"Master Ma, what are you doing...?"

Looking at the yellowed booklet in front of him, Zhuge Qing roughly guessed what it was. Did Ma Xianhong think that a book of weapon-refining tips would allow him to help him repair his furnace?

Too small! Too narrow-minded!!

Who is Zhuge Qing? How could he possibly be moved by a mere book of weapon-refining tips?

However, Ma Xianhong's next words made Zhuge Qing pause, and he looked up at him in disbelief.

He never expected that the man in front of him would have such courage.

"Brother Zhuge, it was wrong of me to ask for your help without hosting a welcome dinner for you. Consider this book, 'The Eight Extraordinary Techniques: Divine Machine Refinement,' as some compensation!"

Seeing Zhuge Qing's incredulous expression, Ma Xianhong didn't take it to heart. He simply patted the other's shoulder and said, "The Wuhou family is also a master of weapon crafting. This Divine Craftsmanship Refinement will surely not be buried in your hands."

After saying that, Ma Xianhong didn't look at the other person again. He picked up his tools and began to rebuild the body-cultivating furnace.

In his view, Zhuge Qing would not refuse.

Or, to put it another way, even if Zhuge Qingzhen refused, he wouldn't blame her; he could only blame himself for misjudging her.

"Master Ma... you just gave me this Divine Refinement Hundredfold Technique like that? Aren't you afraid I'll run away?"

Hearing Zhuge Qing's voice, Ma Xianhong, holding the hammer, smiled confidently and said, "You won't..."

"I really don't know whether to say that you, Master Ma, are generous, or that I couldn't resist the temptation..." Zhuge Qing chuckled, then picked up the tools beside him and joined the ranks of rebuilding the body-cultivating furnace.

Really fragrant!

The deliciousness may be delayed, but it will never be absent!

-

As evening approached, seeing the body-cultivating furnace already taking shape, Ma Xianhong called Zhuge Qing to stop, and the two walked towards the small house next to them.

He had Fu Rong prepare a separate meal early on to welcome Zhuge Qing and Wang Ye.

"Guo Liang, go and invite Daoist Wang Ye and Jiang Bailan."

Not long after, Guo Liang arrived with Wang Ye, who had just woken up, and Jiang Bailan.

As soon as Jiang Bailan opened the door, she saw a meal on the table that was at least one level more lavish than what she had eaten at noon. She glanced at the Moutai liquor placed next to it and then subconsciously looked at Ma Xianhong.

"Old Ma, that's not fair of you. You're showing discrimination, aren't you!"

"Have it?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Xianhong frowned slightly and began to think hard about why he hadn't entertained Jiang Bailan back then. He, Ma Xianhong, shouldn't be that kind of person!

After thinking for only a few seconds, Ma Xianhong found the answer.

Was it because he didn't want to entertain Jiang Bailan?

Doesn't Jiang Bailan have any self-awareness?

He had only been in the village for less than a morning when he wrecked his own stove to pieces. He was too busy repairing the stove to have time to entertain him.

Recalling the scene of the furnace explosion, Ma Xianhong felt his heart start to ache again.

My brother's stove!

Wow, that's a huge furnace!

How could it just break like that!

Thinking of this, Ma Xianhong's gaze towards Jiang Bailan turned resentful, and he said irritably, "Don't you have any self-awareness about why I didn't entertain you?"

Jiang Bailan responded, "How can you blame me? Didn't you insist on trying it?"

Afterwards, Ma Xianhong stopped thinking about his blown-up stove, picked up the Moutai on the table and poured a cup for Zhuge Qing, then poured a cup for Wang Ye and Jiang Bailan.

He believed that with Zhuge Qing's help, the newly built cultivation furnace would be even more perfect.

"Come on! Let's have a drink together!"

While eating, Ma Xianhong began to explain his now-shattered cultivation furnace to the three of them, describing it in a fantastical and almost mystical way.

Aside from Jiang Bailan keeping her head down and eating, Zhuge Qing and Wang were also listening intently.

Ten minutes later, after explaining the wonders of the Body Cultivation Furnace, Ma Xianhong downed the liquor in his cup and invited Jiang Bailan and the other two to team up.

"Brother Zhuge, Daoist Wang..." After a pause, Ma Xianhong continued, "Jiang Bailan, you know the function of the Body Refinement Furnace, but that's only a small part of the Divine Refinement..."

"If you're willing to stay and help me, you'll not only be able to use the Body Refinement Furnace, but I'm also willing to give you the Divine Refinement Hundred Techniques. How about it!"

In Ma Xianhong's view, the Divine Craftsmanship Refinement was nothing more than an external thing. If he could get the help of the three people in front of him, he would be the second Liu Bei.

—Like a fish in water, like a bird soaring into the sky, they were no longer bound by any constraints.

This kind of business is absolutely lucrative, it's like they're opening the door to a bloodbath, they're making a killing!

However, Jiang Bailan and the others present were not fools. Faced with Ma Xianhong's impassioned invitation, they silently declined in their hearts.

"The three of you... what do you think?" Seeing that the three people in front of him remained silent, Ma Xianhong asked again.

After wiping her mouth, Jiang Bailan, who had just finished eating and drinking, was about to speak when she heard Wang Ye, who was standing next to her, slam her hand on the table and shout, "That was great!"

boom!

Before Wang Ye could utter a second word, Jiang Bailan kicked him away.

Jiang Bailan: "You scared me! You're crazy!"

Zhuge Qing: "..."

Ma Xianhong: "???"

Wang Ye: "Damn it!"
