With the meat pieces back in place, Ma Xianhong began to reassemble his body-cultivating furnace.
His movements were practiced and swift, as if he were doing something perfectly ordinary.
Meanwhile, Zhang Chulan and his team had also figured out the situation of the village.
They discovered that there were indeed quite a few extraordinary people in this village.
But they are mostly novices who have just acquired spiritual roots.
These extraordinary individuals were not particularly strong, but their numbers were considerable, making them somewhat troublesome.
"What we do know now is that there are quite a few extraordinary people in this village."
"But basically, these extraordinary individuals have only recently acquired spiritual roots."
Zhang Chulan pondered for a moment and asked, "What do you all think we should do now?"
Wang Zhenqiu thought for a moment and said, "The most urgent thing is to find Chen Duo's place."
"After all, our official purpose right now is to find Chen Duo."
"Only by finding her can we learn more about the situation."
Xiao Zizai nodded and said, "I agree with that. We must find Chen Duo as soon as possible."
"Otherwise, things could become more complicated."
Old Meng said with some worry, "But we've looked around and haven't found any news about Chen Duo."
"Could she no longer be in this village?"
Black Pipe interjected, "Then that means she's not here. We might need to look elsewhere."
Upon hearing this, Feng Baobao immediately asked anxiously, "Where? What should we do next?"
Everyone fell silent for a moment.
They didn't know where Chen Duo had gone, or what to do next.
Just then, Erzhuang sent a message on his phone:
She said, "Based on the situation in the whole village, Chen Duo is probably in the back mountain."
Upon hearing Erzhuang's words, everyone suddenly realized what was going on.
Yes, if there's no one in the front village, then Chen Duo must be in the back village, or even more secluded in the back mountains.
However, they had already gone around in circles.
However, they couldn't see the path to the back mountain, which made them feel a bit helpless.
"I think we need a helper right now."
Zhang Chulan pondered for a moment and said, "An assistant who knows Qimen Dunjia or Taoist arts."
"Perhaps we could try to find Zhuge Qing and Wang Ye." Wang Zhenqiu's eyes lit up.
“I know about the two of them. Zhuge Qing is a genius of the Zhuge family.”
"He knows the art of Qimen Dunjia, and Wang is also a Taoist priest from Wudang, so he must be quite extraordinary."
“If they can join us, then finding the entrance to the back mountain shouldn’t be a problem.”
After discussing it, everyone agreed that it was feasible.
Therefore, they decided to send people to find Zhuge Qing and Wang Ye.
Chapter 156: I, Zhang Chulan, value integrity above all else.
Since we need to send someone to talk to Zhuge Qing and Wang Ye.
Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao were selected.
Of these two, Feng Baobao had met Zhuge Qing and Wang Ye.
Zhang Chulan is eloquent and full of bad intentions; he's a cunning and treacherous fellow.
Moreover, Feng Baobao's abilities are undeniable, which gives people peace of mind.
Therefore, the two of them are the best choices.
Zhang Chulan said he had no problem with the task.
Needless to say, Feng Baobao immediately nodded in agreement.
So, the two of them went to find Zhuge Qing first.
After finding Zhuge Qing, Zhang Chulan got straight to the point:
"Brother Zhuge, we need your help."
Zhuge Qing was taken aback and asked, "What kind of help?"
"We would like to ask you for help in dealing with Ma Xianhong."
Zhang Chulan said it bluntly.
Zhuge Qing was greatly surprised upon hearing this:
"What? Dealing with Ma Xianhong? What does that have to do with me?"
Seeing this, Zhang Chulan quickly pulled the excited Zhuge Qing aside and gestured for him to sit down and talk slowly.
Only after Zhuge Qing sat down did he explain:
"The main purpose wasn't to deal with Ma Xianhong, but actually to help us find Chen Duo."
Zhang Chulan was clearly testing the waters, hoping to see if the other party would give up after seeing that they were unwilling to deal with Ma Xianhong.
"Chen Duo? Who is Chen Duo?" Zhuge Qing asked in confusion.
“This Chen Duo used to be one of our temporary workers, but she betrayed us and even killed someone.”
"The company wants us to bring her back," Zhang Chulan explained.
Zhuge Qing frowned after hearing this: "This is your company's business, it's not appropriate for me to get involved, is it?"
Zhang Chulan had anticipated that Zhuge Qing would say that!
He continued, "Right now, all we know is that Chen Duo is in the back mountain."
"But the back mountain is so big, we can't find the entrance at all."
He paused and continued:
"We suspect that the entrance was sealed off by some kind of esoteric method."
"And since you are an expert in this field, we would like to ask you to help us find the entry point."
Zhuge Qing smiled after hearing this: "So you want me to help you find the entrance."
“That’s right, that’s exactly what I mean,” Zhang Chulan nodded and said.
Zhuge Qing smiled, showing his response and curiosity: "You should have said so earlier, instead of going through all this trouble."
Seeing that you were showing some signs of relenting, Zhang Chulan was secretly pleased, but he smiled calmly and said, "So you're willing to help?"
Zhuge Qing's face suddenly turned cold, as if his smile just moments before had been fleeting: "I can't help."
Zhang Chulan was speechless, not expecting such a direct rejection: "Why?"
Zhuge Qing glanced at him and said indifferently:
"What good will this do me?"
"I was originally invited here."
"What I'd like to see even more is one of the legendary Eight Extraordinary Skills, Divine Refinement."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chulan thought to himself, "So that's how it is," but a smile spread across his face.
"What was this all about? It turns out to be the Divine Craftsmanship Refinement."
Zhuge Qing asked, "Could it be that you can do that too?"
Zhang Chulan was very direct: "No."
He paused, deliberately keeping everyone in suspense:
"However, I am also a successor of the Eight Extraordinary Skills."
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Qing looked Zhang Chulan up and down, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes:
"Oh? I remember you. You are a successor of the Qi Body Source Stream?"
Zhang Chulan nodded smugly: "Of course."
"You should know that at the end of technique lies the source of Qi."
"What are the other eight extraordinary skills compared to that?"
As he spoke, he winked at Feng Baobao beside him, "Am I right, Baobao-jie?"
“Oh, right.” Feng Baobao echoed earnestly, as if every word Zhang Chulan said was the truth.
Zhuge Qing looked at Zhang Chulan with suspicion, as if he were a charlatan: "You really know the Qi Source Flow?"
Zhang Chulan patted his chest with a smug look on his face and said, "Guaranteed authentic! No fakes, no doubt about it!"
Zhuge Qing nodded, seemingly lost in thought, and said:
"In that case, it's not impossible to consider helping."
He changed the subject and continued, "But you have to show me your Qi source flow first."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chulan immediately became alert and waved his hands repeatedly, saying:
"How can you just show this to anyone? You should at least find a suitable opportunity."
"It can only be displayed after bathing, burning incense, and worshipping heaven and earth."
Zhuge Qing nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. I was too impatient."

He then looked out the window and said, "Old Wang, what do you think?"
