Chapter 111: Mechanical Refining Furnace
Thousand Machines and Hundred Refinements Self-cultivation Furnace
"Xu Si, what exactly is this Ma Xianhong's self-cultivation furnace?" Zhang Chulan asked Xu Si through the headset while carefully observing his surroundings.
"The Cultivation Furnace is Ma Xianhong's masterpiece. It's said to be able to transform ordinary people into extraordinary beings, and even elevate them to higher realms." Xu Si's voice rang out through the headset, a hint of solemnity in his voice. "However, this isn't the most crucial point. The important thing is that the creation of the Cultivation Furnace involves strange magic, which is a huge problem."
Zhang Chulan couldn't help but ponder inwardly upon hearing this. He knew full well that Qimen magic was complex and dangerous, and if it got out of control, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Then our mission is to destroy this self-cultivation furnace?" Zhang Chulan asked.
"Destroying the Self-Cultivation Furnace is only one of our goals." Xu Si's voice was filled with determination. "The ultimate goal is to make the entire Biyou Village disappear. This village has already attracted the company's high attention."
Zhang Chulan was shocked when he heard this. He knew that this mission was of great importance and that if he failed, the consequences would be disastrous.
Meanwhile, elsewhere in Biyou Village, Wang Ye was anxiously searching for Zhuge Qing. He traversed a winding path and finally found him in front of a simple wooden house. Zhuge Qing stood shoulder to shoulder with Ma Xianhong, his eyes filled with curiosity and wonder.
"Wang Ye, why are you here?" Zhuge Qing showed a hint of surprise on his face when he saw Wang Ye.
Wang Ye walked closer, his eyes falling on the self-cultivation furnace in Ma Xianhong's hand: "I heard rumors about this furnace, so I came here to take a look."
Ma Xianhong smiled and looked at Wang Ye: "Oh? You are also a sorcerer, perhaps you can help me improve this self-cultivation furnace."
He detailed the function of the self-cultivation furnace: "This furnace can transform ordinary people into extraordinary people, and even elevate the realm of extraordinary people. However, its creation requires the use of strange magic, and this is where I need you sorcerers."
After hearing this, Wang Ye shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in changing human nature. Besides, I don't think this is the right thing to do."
Zhuge Qing's expression was complicated when he heard this. He was well aware of Ma Xianhong's ambition, but he was also attracted by the potential of the self-cultivation furnace. However, at this moment, Wang Ye made a decision.
"Zhuge Qing, let's go. This place is not suitable for us." Wang Ye said.
However, their plan did not go as planned. As night fell, Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing tried to sneak down the mountain under cover of darkness, but were intercepted by Ma Xianhong and his superiors.
"Wang Ye, hand over your Fenghou Qimen." Ma Xianhong's voice echoed in the night with unquestionable majesty.
Wang Ye's face was solemn as he looked around: "Do you think you can force me to surrender like this?"
The battle was about to begin. Although Wang Ye was quite powerful, he gradually fell behind Zhuge Qing under the siege of many people. Seeing this, Ma Xianhong slowly walked behind Zhuge Qing.
"Zhuge Qing, if you are willing to join Biyou Village and help me perfect the self-cultivation furnace, after the task is completed, my Shenji Bailian and Wang Ye's Fenghou Qimen will belong to you." Ma Xianhong's voice was full of temptation.
Zhuge Qing's heart struggled when he heard this. He knew the value of the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements and the preciousness of Feng Hou Qi Men.
Looking at Wang Ye in front of him, Zhuge Qing still chose to stay. He longed to defeat Wang Ye and he longed to gain power.
Wang Ye could see that Zhuge Qing could no longer be persuaded to come back, so he had no choice but to stay in Biyou Village and wait and see.
The next day, sunlight filtered through the sparse clouds, illuminating every corner of Biyou Village. Ma Xianhong was summoned by Wang Ye, and the atmosphere between them seemed somewhat tense.
"Ma Xianhong, I observed the stars last night and found that your fate is humble. What you are planning is too big. Not only will it fail, but it will also hurt innocent people." Wang Ye spoke slowly, with a hint of seriousness in his tone.
Ma Xianhong's expression changed slightly when he heard this: "Wang Ye, what do you mean?"
"I'm a sorcerer, so I naturally understand some numerology." Wang Ye continued, "Although the Self-Cultivation Furnace is powerful, it's not something you can control. I advise you to stop."
Ma Xianhong sneered, "Wang Ye, stop your nonsense. Why do I, Ma Xianhong, need you to dictate my actions?"
Wang Ye shook his head helplessly: "Since you are so stubborn, we have no choice but to take action again."
Just as the situation became tense, the sound of hurried footsteps broke the silence. Zhang Chulan, Feng Baobao, and other temporary workers from Nadutong arrived at the scene.
"Ma Xianhong, we came here because of your reputation and want to join you." Wang Zhenqiu, a temporary worker, said with a smile, with a hint of playfulness in his tone.
Ma Xianhong was about to refuse but was stopped by Zhang Chulan.
"Ma Xianhong, don't refuse so easily," Zhang Chulan said. "You should be familiar with our strength and background. Staying in the village for a few days won't do you any harm."
Ma Xianhong thought for a moment, and finally nodded, fearing the strength and background of several people.
Zhang Chulan breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. He knew this mission wasn't going to be easy, but as long as he could get close to Ma Xianhong, he would have a chance to find Chen Duo and destroy the Self-cultivation Furnace.
He looked at Ma Xianhong and said with a smile, "Ma Xianhong, let's find a place to talk. I have something to ask you."
Ma Xianhong nodded and led Zhang Chulan and the others to a simple wooden house. During the conversation, Zhang Chulan gradually understood the relationship between himself and Ma Xianhong's ancestors, and joked that he was the other's uncle in terms of seniority.
"Ma Xianhong, I'm here on orders from the company," Zhang Chulan said. "Chen Duo killed her boss while working as a temporary worker at Nadutong. We need to take her back and deal with her."
Ma Xianhong's face darkened when he heard this. "Zhang Chulan, forget it. Chen Duo belongs to my Biyou Village. I won't let you take her away."
Zhang Chulan looked at Ma Xianhong and pondered in his heart. He knew that Ma Xianhong was full of disdain and dissatisfaction with Nadutong Company, and it would not be easy to convince him.
"Ma Xianhong, why are you so stubborn?" Zhang Chulan said, "Chen Duo's behavior has violated the law. We must take her back."
"Law?" Ma Xianhong sneered, "In this world, strength is everything. You, the "Everywhere Access Company," are nothing but a bunch of hypocritical hypocrites."
Zhang Chulan couldn't help but sigh inwardly upon hearing this. He knew that the negotiations with Ma Xianhong had reached a deadlock. Next, they would have to resort to other means to achieve their goal.
Li Qiankun watched everything happening from a distance.
"It seems the time is almost here. A falling out is imminent. Zhang Chulan is a real troublemaker. He's been lurking in the village for a few days, and now he's showing up to show his hand. It would be strange if Ma Xianhong wasn't anxious."
Li Qiankun yawned and muttered, then quickly returned to the medicine refining house, packed up his things and prepared to complete the task assigned by the system.
