He sighed softly, "Our Zhuge family also has something similar."

"But it's far from reaching that level of sophistication."

"It must be said that Ma Xianhong's expertise in weapon crafting is indeed unfathomable."

Zhang Chulan nodded thoughtfully.

"This thing is indeed very rare."

"I originally wanted to learn it," Zhuge Qing said with a wry smile.

"But after thinking about it, I decided against it."

"After all, some things are not yours to have, and you can't force them."

Wang Ye patted Zhuge Qing on the shoulder: "You understand it all too well."

Zhuge Qing said, "It won't work if it's not thorough."

Zhang Chulan said, "Sometimes the Eight Extraordinary Skills may not be a reward, but a punishment."

He said, "So many people want to fight over it, but how many of them have a good ending?"

Zhuge Qing said in surprise, "Zhang Chulan, I didn't expect you to say something like that."

Zhang Chulan said, "Nonsense, nonsense."

Wang Ye said, "Alright. It's almost time."

After the three finished talking, they headed towards the back of the mountain.

Chapter 159: The Temporary Workers Begin to Take Action

Just then, sparks flew throughout Biyou Village, like fireworks blooming in the night sky, illuminating everyone's faces.

Feng Baobao stood in front of a house, holding a torch, and skillfully lit the dry grass under the eaves.

The fire spread rapidly, engulfing the entire house.

She seemed very familiar with all of this, as if she had experienced similar scenes countless times.

After all, Feng Baobao has lived for over a hundred years, experienced many vicissitudes, and is already accustomed to all things in the world.

Over the years, she has done almost every kind of job.

Neither wind nor rain, nor mountains of knives nor seas of fire, could stop her.

Especially after she joined Nadutong, she became even more unrestrained, and setting fires to bury people was more than enough for her.

However, her method of starting the fire this time was very clever.

The flames only serve to drive the fire away; they do not actually cause the fire to ignite.

She controlled the fire as if she were toying with a fireball.

Her actions quickly attracted the attention of the villagers.

They rushed out of their homes, carrying buckets of water and fire extinguishers, and began to fight the fire.

This is where the temporary workers came in. They rushed up like tigers descending a mountain and subdued the panicked villagers one by one.

"Damn it, so it was you guys who were causing trouble!"

Upon seeing this, Ma Xianhong's men immediately roared in anger.

"So what?" Xiao Zizai said coldly.

Ma Xianhong's men were enraged by Xiao Zizai's attitude.

They waved their fists and shouted, "We won't let you get away with this!"

In no time, Ma Xianhong's men had gathered a considerable number of people.

These people were all ordinary villagers before, without spiritual roots or cultivation.

However, after following Ma Xianhong, they were transformed by the Body Cultivation Furnace and gained different powers.

They became overconfident, even a little arrogant, and didn't take the temporary workers seriously at all.

Looking at these arrogant villagers, Xiao Zizai curled up a cold smile.

He waved his hand and said to the other temporary workers, "Everyone, split up and get to work."

After saying that, he took the lead and ran off in one direction.

The other temporary workers also ran off in all directions.

They moved incredibly fast, like streaks of lightning slicing through the night sky.

"Follow me!"

Ma Xianhong's men shouted and then split into several groups to give chase.

Just then, Ma Xianhong finally noticed something was wrong and rushed over from the back mountain.

He gazed at the village afar, its flames blazing, his eyes revealing deep anger.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Chulan and his group broke the taboo on the back mountain.

"Okay, we'll stop here."

Zhuge Qing took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

Wang Ye nodded and agreed, "Old Qing is right, this is no longer a place we should go any further."

Hearing what the two said, Zhang Chulan was speechless.

He glanced at the two of them and couldn't help but complain:

"Don't you want to come with me and see for yourselves? Aren't you curious about what that Body Refinement Furnace is?"

However, to his surprise, Zhuge Qing and Wang Ye both shook their heads and said in unison, "Not curious."

Zhang Chulan was immediately annoyed.

He originally wanted to persuade Zhuge Qing and Wang Ye to help him, but now it seems...

These two people showed absolutely no intention of helping.

Just as he was about to go alone, Zhuge Qing suddenly called out to him: "Zhang Chulan."

Zhang Chulan turned around and looked at Zhuge Qing with some anticipation, thinking that he had changed his mind.

However, Zhuge Qing's next words disappointed him somewhat:

"I'm just telling you not to forget what you promised us."

Zhang Chulan felt a little guilty and quickly said, "Of course, of course, I will definitely keep my promise after I finish dealing with my business."

Wang Ye's lips curled up, showing his response and curiosity towards you:

"Zhang Chulan, then we wish you all the best. We're waiting for your good news."

Zhuge Qing was more direct; he patted Zhang Chulan on the shoulder:

"Don't forget what you promised us, we remember it all."

After saying that, he and Wang Ye turned and left, leaving Zhang Chulan standing there speechless.

Watching the two figures walk further and further away, Zhang Chulan shook his head helplessly.

He took a deep breath, turned around, and walked towards the back of the mountain.

Meanwhile, inside a house in Biyou Village.

Lin Yang was lying leisurely on the bed, enjoying being fed by Chen Duo.

A satisfied smile graced his face, as if all the disturbances of the outside world were irrelevant to him.

"Boss, the entire Biyou Village is in complete chaos right now."

As Chen Duo handed food to Lin Yang, she said:

"Do you think they can stop the temporary workers?"

Lin Yang gently shook his head:

"To be fair, although these people have gained spiritual roots and can cultivate because of the cultivation furnace..."

"But how long have they been cultivating?"

"They are no match for temporary workers at all."

Chen Duo agreed: "Yes, most of these people suddenly gained their powers and can't use them at all. In my opinion..."

Lin Yang glanced at the chaotic Biyou Village outside the window and continued:

"In the end, the power gained through the Body Refinement Furnace is nothing more than something artificially created."

He shook his head slightly, a hint of disdain in his tone:

"That body-cultivating furnace, although Ma Xianhong touted it as something miraculous."

"But it's ultimately an inanimate object. How powerful can the things it creates really be?"

After listening, Chen Duo nodded thoughtfully: "Boss, you're right (Qian Zhao). These people gained power too suddenly, and they don't know how to use it at all."

"So, Biyou Village's failure this time was almost inevitable." Lin Yang sighed, as if he could already see the fate of Biyou Village.

Just then, there was a sudden noise outside.

Lin Yang frowned and said, "It seems that the temporary workers have started to take action."

Chen Duo asked, "Boss, should we go out and check on the prisoners?"

Lin Yang waved his hand: "No need, we'll just wait here."

"I want to see how long this Ma Xianhong can hold out."

He paused for a moment, then added, "However, you should also be careful."

"He can step in and save Ma Xianhong at a critical moment."

"I'm still somewhat interested in him."

Upon hearing this, Chen Duo immediately understood Lin Yang's meaning: "Understood, boss."
