Under One Person: My comprehension is unmatched.

Biyou Village, the location of the Self-Cultivation Furnace.

Upon hearing Zhang Yan's words, Ma Xianhong's eyes lit up, and he spoke up.

"Senior Zhang, please wait a moment."

After saying that, he hurriedly ran to a corner of the stove, stretched out his hands and quickly started operating it, and then said...

“This is very important. I will adjust the data and record it in detail.”

With a serious expression, Village Chief Ma adopted a serious attitude towards scientific cultivation. Zhong Xiaolong then found another villager from Biyou Village and had him enter the main cabin.

After everything was prepared, Zhang Yan entered a cabin where a furnace was held. At Ma Xianhong's signal, Zhang Yan began circulating Qi.

In an instant, a large amount of Qi surged into the metal chamber, and the furnace chamber emitted a dazzling light, which flowed into the core compartment like a tide.

Grandpa Bi and Zhong Xiaolong stared wide-eyed; this was the first time they had ever seen such a scene.

Looking at the light emanating from the entire furnace, as bright as the midday sun, Ma Xianhong couldn't help but swallow hard. Even with the load set to maximum, it still seemed somewhat strained.

At that moment, the entire furnace began to shake violently, making a sound like a tractor, and the data jumped rapidly before turning into a bunch of gibberish.

"Senior Zhang, please stop for a moment..."

Ma Xianhong immediately realized what was happening and tried to stop the experiment, but it was too late.

boom!

The entire furnace exploded like an overloaded light bulb, while Ma Xianhong rushed towards the display of data.

"Master, retreat."

Zhong Xiaolong hurriedly grabbed Ma Xianhong, trying to retreat.

Just then, a soft light rose up and enveloped the entire furnace, blocking all the debris that was hurtling outward.

After the impact, the door to the main cabin slammed shut, and the villager inside stared blankly at everything outside.

"This……"

Everyone who saw this was stunned.

Even while holding the furnace, Zhang Yan was still able to protect everyone. He truly deserves to be called a legendary figure.

Ma Xianhong looked at the shards scattered on the ground and fell into deep thought.

Was the load too low, causing the furnace to explode, or was there some other reason?

Thinking this, he quickly walked among the fragments and began searching for the core of the cultivation furnace. He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he found a sphere in a pile of scrap metal.

He took the core of the cultivation furnace and walked to Zhang Yan's side, saying...

"It's alright, Senior Zhang. This furnace was only a semi-finished product to begin with. If it's destroyed, it's destroyed. As long as the core is still intact, we can rebuild it."

"Moreover, we've already gathered some information, so the next body-cultivating furnace will be even better."

Zhang Yan took the core, nodded, looked at the villager, and asked.

"How are you? Do you feel any discomfort?"

This villager was still an ordinary person. Although Zhang Yan had protected his physical body, he was still somewhat worried that he might have some mental problems.

"Thank you for your concern, Master. I don't feel any discomfort, it's just..."

He glanced at Village Chief Ma and then spoke.

"I can't become an Outcast, is there something wrong with me?"

Ma Xianhong shook his head and spoke.

"It's not your fault. This furnace is not perfect yet, and it cannot guarantee success every time."

"You can go back now. I'll contact you again once the furnace is repaired."

Upon hearing that he still had a chance, the man was immediately moved to tears and happily went home.

After that person left, Ma Xianhong looked at the core in Zhang Yan's hand, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.

"Senior Zhang, I know it's a bit presumptuous of me to say this, but I'd still like to ask you if it would be possible to stay in Biyou Village for a few more days."

As he spoke, he took out a food pouch, opened his palm, and continued.

"I have nothing to offer you, but if you don't mind, please take this Divine Refined Hundred-Times-Refined Craftsmanship."

Village Chief Ma, such an honest man, has started to pour his heart out again for the sake of the cultivation furnace.

Zhang Yan smiled but didn't take it. Instead, he released his grip on the core, which floated lightly into Ma Xianhong's hand.

"No need. Come find me when the stove is fixed. I'm going to see Chen Duo."

After saying that, he pushed open the door of the small building and walked outside.

"Master, Senior Zhang was just using his mind to control objects, wasn't he?"

Zhong Xiaolong looked at the stunned Ma Xianhong and spoke.

Ma Xianhong stared at the core in front of him, shook his head, and said.

"He instantly 'transformed' the outer layer of metal around the core, and then used the technique of manipulating objects to deliver it."

"Moreover, I am very familiar with this technique; it is the result of countless refinements."

"What? Senior Zhang also knows the Divine Crafting Technique?"

Grandpa Bi exclaimed in surprise, then calmed down and thought about it carefully before speaking.

"That makes sense. Senior Zhang originally possessed this technique, which is why he was interested in the Body Refinement Furnace."

"But everyone who knows this technique is in Biyou Village. Where did he learn it from? Was it from your ancestors?"

Ma Xianhong then shook his head and said.

“My ancestors never passed this skill on to anyone else. I think he mastered the Divine Refinement Technique by coming into contact with the core of the Body Cultivation Furnace and through my Qi Circulation.”

Zhong Xiaolong and Grandpa Bi exchanged glances, utterly shocked by Ma Xianhong's deduction.

"Let's not think about those things anymore. The most important thing now is to do as many experiments as possible while Senior Zhang is still in Biyou Village."

Village Chief Ma didn't want to care about anything else; he was focused solely on his own furnace.

For the next period of time, Village Chief Ma worked tirelessly, using the puppet Ruhua to build two more furnaces.

Zhang Yan settled down in Biyou Village, occasionally going to chat with Chen Duo and feed the dog named Chen Junyan.

Zhang Yan understood that Chen Duo's matter couldn't be rushed. She was like a willow leaf drifting in a stream; too much force would only cause her to sink to the bottom.

The two got along very well during this time and gradually became familiar with each other.

After Ma Xianhong finished making the furnace, he went to find Zhang Yan to hold it. Unfortunately, the furnace still had various problems, and the problem of the furnace exploding was still there.

After several rounds of experiments, many problems were fixed, but Biyou Village faced a severe economic crisis.

Until one day, Chen Duo found Ma Xianhong and looked at the village chief with dark circles under his eyes and spoke.

"Senior Zhang has left. He said he was going to pick up something."

Ma Xianhong nodded listlessly and began to speak.

“If he doesn’t leave, I won’t be able to build a new furnace anytime soon. I need to ask my sister for some money.”

"Chen Duo, how are you getting along with Senior Zhang?"

Chen Duo tilted her head and thought for a moment before speaking.

"He was very nice and told me a lot of interesting stories, but there were some that I didn't quite understand."

"Hmm, Chen Duo, if one day he asked you to go with him to another place, would you go?"

Chen Duo fell silent, as if she was thinking about something, and finally shook her head and said.

"I do not know."

……

After their conversation, Ma Xianhong called his sister Qu Tong, briefly explained the situation, and then wandered aimlessly through the village.

Somehow, he walked up to Wang Ye's house. Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing were both at the door. Wang Ye saw that Ma Xianhong looked somewhat dejected and spoke to him.

"Oh, Village Chief Ma, what a rare guest! Why aren't you at your stove? What brings you here?"

"Quickly, come in and do it."

Zhuge Qing quickly ushered Ma Xianhong in, and the three of them sat around a long table. Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing sat side by side, while Ma Xianhong sat down opposite them.

"Village Chief Ma, look at your dark circles, they're almost as dark as Wang Ye's! What happened?"

Zhuge Qing spoke first.

"You can't possibly not know that something terrible happened recently."

Ma Xianhong looked at the two of them and then spoke.

"The stove in the village exploded."

Zhuge Qing and Wang Ye exchanged a glance, and Zhuge Qing pointed in the direction of the kitchen.

"I went to eat breakfast early this morning, so it's nothing."

Looking at Zhuge Qing, Ma Xianhong thought of Fu Rong and the other woman, shook his head, and said...

"It's not a stove for cooking, it's my furnace for self-cultivation."

Wang Ye glanced at Zhuge Qing and thought to himself, "You little rascal, all you know is how to flirt with girls," before speaking.

"The one at the end of the village?"

Village Chief Ma shook his head and said.

"They were all blown up; not a single one was left."

Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing both leaned back slightly, and Zhuge Qing spoke first.

"Tell me in detail what exactly happened."

Ma Xianhong was a little excited at this moment. He gestured and spoke.

"I asked Senior Zhang to hold the furnace, and the first one exploded due to overload."

"After finding the cause, I built two more. The second one didn't overload, but other problems arose, and it crashed too. The third one..."

puff!

Zhuge Qing squinted, her eyes curving into crescents, and chuckled.

Ma Xianhong was interrupted and looked at Zhuge Qing.

"what are you laughing at?"

Zhuge Qing waved his hands repeatedly and spoke.

"I remembered happy things."

Ma Xianhong frowned and asked.

"What happy thing?"

Zhuge Qing spoke without hesitation.

“My cultivation bottleneck has loosened in the slightest.”

puff!

Wang Ye couldn't help but laugh out loud too.

"What are you laughing at again?"

Wang Ye answered Ma Xianhong's question.

"My cultivation bottleneck has also loosened."

"Are you practicing the same martial arts technique?"

Zhuge Qing said, squinting his eyes.

"Yes, yes, Wang also passed on the Feng Hou Qi Men to me."

"Go on."

Ma Xianhong was a little angry. He tapped the table and said.

“I’m not kidding. My furnace exploded, and now I don’t have the money to rebuild it. I called my sister, but when she heard that Senior Zhang was here, she hung up immediately.”

puff!

puff!

Wang Ye and the other person burst out laughing.

"Hey you two, I've been putting up with you for so long. You've been laughing at me non-stop."

Wang Ye cleared his throat and began to speak.

“Village Chief Ma, we’re eating and drinking for free in the village, why would we laugh at you?”

"Unless you can't help it."

Ma Xianhong nodded and began to speak.

"Alright, let's get down to business. I know one of you owns a large company, and the other is a large family."

"So, you can't lend me a little bit of money."

Zhuge Qing stood up and said.

“Village Chief Ma, although the Zhuge family is a large clan, I am not the clan chief. Money needs to be applied for.”

Wang nodded, indicating that he felt the same way, and began to speak.

"Okay, Village Chief Ma, we'll apply for it first, and we'll let you know as soon as we have any news."

Village Chief Ma nodded and stood up to speak.

"Please hurry, I'm really in a rush."

After saying that, he got up, pushed open the door, and walked out.

Hahahaha!

Laughter from Wang Ye and the other person could be heard coming from inside the room.

"Ma Xianhong took too big a step and got stuck in his balls. Hahahaha."

There was a squeak.

Ma Xianhong then leaned half his body inside.

The two looked at Ma Xianhong very solemnly, and Zhuge Qing said.

"Village Chief Ma, is there anything else?"

Ma Xianhong's temple throbbed, and he slammed the door shut as he left...
