Biyou Village truly lives up to its reputation as a hidden gem; the scenery here is indeed beautiful, making it a perfect place for retirement.
"This girl doesn't seem to be alive."
Xiao Tian looked at the peasant woman who came to deliver wine and dishes. She was dressed like Ruhua in Zhou Xingxing's movies. Through his Enhanced Byakugan eye vision, he discovered many of her Qi circulation pathways, and their structure was different from that of a living person's meridians.
Xiao Tian was puzzled. Was Ma Xianhong about to reveal one of the Eight Impure Techniques, the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements, by making these low-level puppets appear in front of him?
Is this a test?
"Brother Xiao Zhan has a good eye. Ruhua is a puppet I created," Ma Xianhong said frankly.
Wang Ye had long since dealt with the kind of guilt that Ruhua felt, so he wasn't surprised at all. In fact, he came to Biyou Village because he had first fought against the Power Attack System Ruhua puppet, and then he received a call from Biyou Village Ma Xianhong before he rushed over.
"This puppet is pretty impressive. Apart from its slightly scary appearance, it seems quite intelligent. If I had a few, I wouldn't have to worry about brushing my teeth, washing my face, or eating breakfast every morning." Xiao Tian clicked his tongue in amazement, feigning surprise and appearing quite envious.
"If Brother Xiao Zhan wants to learn, I can teach you."
Ma Xianhong smiled and gazed at Xiao Tian.
This surprised Xiao Tian and Wang Ye.
When Wang Ye came to Biyou Village, Ma Xianhong promised to give Wang Ye the cultivation method of Divine Machine Hundred Refinements Bailian, one of the Eight Impure Techniques, regardless of whether he learned Fenghou Qimen or not. However, Wang Ye refused.
Of course, there was another person, Zhuge Qing, who was also taught the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements cultivation method by Ma Xianhong.
In fact, Zhuge Qing and Wang Ye met in Biyou Village Biyou Village Xiao Tian and the others arrived.
Zhuge Qing is currently helping Ma Xianhong with important matters.
Xiao Tian was a little excited at this moment. Divine Machine Hundred Refinements! He could obtain it so easily?
"Village Chief Ma, you recognize us now, don't you? Are you trying to bribe me?"
Ma Xianhong smiled slightly, looked up at the moon, and murmured, "I knew you were from the Nadutong Company before you entered the village, but so what? Brother Xiao Zhan, if you want to learn, I can teach you, but once you learn, you have to be prepared for the consequences."
"Oh well, there's nothing more to say then. Hurry up and teach me. I'm not Nadutong temporary worker, what's there to be afraid of? I'm just a handyman, I can run away anytime." Xiao Tian chuckled, his smug look making Wang Ye speechless.
"The recipe is still the same." Wang Ye was speechless, and worried about Zhang Chulan, Feng Baobao, and the others. With such an unreliable person as Xiao Tian as a spy, there was going to be a good show.
Ma Xianhong was very surprised at this moment. He did not expect Xiao Tian to be so willing to learn.
"Brother Xiao Zhan, do you know the consequences? And you may not know the method used to create this puppet. Let me tell you clearly, this method is one of the legendary Eight Impure Techniques, the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements."
To Ma Xianhong's bluntness, Xiao Tian curled his lip and said, "So what if it's one of the Eight Impure Techniques Eight Impure Techniques? It's not like I haven't practiced one before. Practicing one more won't hurt me."
Xiao Tian knew that Ma Xianhong, as a successor of the Eight Impure Techniques, had a good impression of the other successors of the Eight Impure Techniques. He had called Wang Ye Wang Ye over in order to protect him.
"You also possess Eight Impure Techniques?" Ma Xianhong was genuinely surprised this time.
Wang Ye's heart skipped a beat, wondering if this Shameless Scoundrel would betray him and expose the Fenghou Qimen technique.
"Naturally, I am the successor of the Great Luo Cave Observation, one of the Eight Impure Techniques."
Xiao Tian smiled, his figure contorted, and he used the Mangekyō Sharingan's eye technique Kamui Intangibility.
"Village Chief Ma might as well attack me."
Ma Xianhong was shocked. He clenched his fist and punched Xiao Tian, but was shocked to find that his fist passed through Xiao Tian's body and only hit a ball of air, unable to touch anything substantial.
"So this is the Great Luo Cave Observation? This is truly the first time I've ever seen one."
Wang Ye's heart skipped a beat.
"Holy crap, just how many of the Eight Impure Techniques does Xiao Tian know?! Is this really the Great Luo Cave Observation? Are you kidding me?!"
Wang Ye thought of the strange scarred man he had encountered in his own villa, and was utterly puzzled.
Ma Xianhong was shocked by Xiao Tian's ability. This was real ability, not the kind of magic weapon he possessed, and he didn't have any magic weapon that could do such a thing.
"I never imagined we'd be so destined to meet at Great Luo Cave Observation," Ma Xianhong said with a smile.
Xiao Tian deactivated his Kamui Intangibility state and smiled slightly, saying, "As long as my Qi is sufficient, even if the Wood Hai Bullet explodes, it won't harm me. This involves spatial dimensions."
"I understand. It's similar to a subspace, transferring from the main space to another dimension. No wonder it's one of the Eight Impure Techniques." Ma Xianhong was shocked, but a bit greedy was also in his heart.
"So, Village Chief Ma, would you like to learn? Let's exchange ideas," Xiao Deva Path.
Wang Ye's heart skipped a beat. Knowing Xiao Tian's character well, he felt that this guy was up to something again!
"Are you sure you're willing to pass on the cultivation method of the Great Luo Cave Observation to me?" Ma Xianhong asked in surprise, his heart starting to race.
Although it's unknown what the limit of the technique Xiao Tian just displayed is, if he mastered it, he would basically be invincible, since as the successor of the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements, his Qi is sufficient.
"Village Chief Ma, do I look like I'm joking? You're so willing to give me the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements Cultivation Method so readily, I've decided to consider you my brother. So, do you want to learn it?" Xiao Tian said with great enthusiasm, as if he wanted to form a sworn brotherhood with Ma Xianhong.
Meanwhile, he thought to himself, "Anyway, you won't be able to learn it. It's none of my business if you wonder about it later. The Eight Impure Techniques are so easy to learn, they've been commonplace for a long time."
Ma Xianhong laughed loudly, "Good! Since Brother Xiao Zhan has acknowledged me as his brother, then how about we become sworn brothers tonight!"
"Good!"
" Wang Ye, why don't you join us too?"
Wang Ye was speechless. Meeting Xiao Tian's gaze, which seemed to be asking but actually carried a sense of threat, he forced himself to nod.
Wang Ye thought that if he refused, it would ruin this Shameless Scoundrel's plans, and who knows what kind of trouble he might cause him.
After all, Zhang Chulan Shameless, is also visiting Biyou Village! Shameless Scoundrel and Shameless together—it's terrifying what they're going to do!
Wang Ye couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine when he thought of Zhang Chulan's wicked idea to send Wang Ai, one of the Ten Elders, photos of his grandson being staged at the hospital and photos of Chen Jinkui's granddaughter being secretly photographed and threatened after school.
" By Houtu above! I, Ma Xianhong!"
"Young Master Xiao Tian!"
" Wang Ye!"
"Today we swear to be sworn brothers, not seeking to be born on the same day of the same year, but seeking to die on the same day of the same year!"
"Cheers!" Ma Xianhong picked up his wine bowl and clinked glasses with Xiao Tian and Wang Ye.
After the sworn brotherhood ceremony and drinking, the three became closer, with Ma Xianhong as the eldest brother, Xiao Tian as the second, and Wang Ye as the third.
"My third brother knows that you can't bite off more than you can chew, so he's unwilling to learn the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements, and I won't force him. Second brother, this is the cultivation method of the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements. If you have any questions about cultivation, you can ask me. Besides, everyone in the village is a weapon refiner. When I'm not around, you can discuss it with Guo Liang and the others."
Xiao Tian nodded and accepted the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements Technique, one of the Eight Impure Techniques.
"Ding! Congratulations to the Heavenly Dao Inheritor for gaining favor with Ma Xianhong! Achievement Points *3! Unsealing progress 39%!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the Heavenly Dao Inheritor for obtaining the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements Technique! Achievement Points *6! Unsealing progress 40%!"
"Ding! Divine Machine Hundred Refinements has been automatically mastered. You can consume Achievement Points to increase the level progress!"
After Xiao Tian received the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements Technique, he took out a pen he always carried and tore a piece of cloth off his short-sleeved shirt.
"Second brother, there's no need to worry. I'll go and have Ruhua bring some paper. Why ruin these fine clothes?"
"It's nothing, I'm rich, it's just a piece of clothing."
Wang Ye coughed a few times, then excused himself to pee and left.
Xiao Tian wrote down part of the cultivation method for the Enhanced Spirit Transformation Technique on the fabric of his clothes. Cultivating this part would not allow him to separate his soul from his body, but it would allow his spirit to undergo a transformation.
"The most crucial aspect of the Great Luo Cave Observation is refining the harmony between spirit and body. When one can achieve the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, the Five Qi Soaring, the Purple Mansion Opening in the Upper Dantian, the Nebula Gathering in the Middle Dantian, and the Vast Ocean Unifying in the Lower Dantian, then one will be able to use spatial techniques like mine to evade any harm and to travel long distances through space."
"Back then, my master told me that I wouldn't be allowed to leave the mountain until I had mastered the cultivation and entered the gate. He was afraid that I wouldn't be able to protect myself in the early stages of the Great Luo Cave Observation cultivation. After all, the initial stage of spiritual and physical integration and transformation is not as outstanding as the other Eight Impure Techniques, but the later stage is terrifying," Xiao Tian explained with a smile.
Ma Xianhong scanned the obscure and mysterious words on the fabric with some skepticism, and found that they were not made up on the spot; the Great Luo Cave Observation Cultivation Method was very real.
"What my second brother said is true. Being able to jump into the subspace to avoid damage is incredibly powerful, so it's normal that the training intensity is difficult in the early stages."
Ma Xianhong recalled that when he was cultivating the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements, the early stages were extremely difficult, but once he passed the threshold, a whole new world opened up for him.
"That's right, brother. There's one more thing I need to remind you. Once you successfully cultivate to the point where you can infiltrate the subspace, where space is me and I am Realm of Emptiness, you will face the three tribulations of wind, fire, and thunder one to three years from that moment on. These tribulations are both Destruction and opportunity. If you survive, you will become an immortal; if you perish, you will be completely annihilated." Xiao Tian pretended to be solemn as he reminded him, but inwardly he was laughing.
Ma Xianhong's heart skipped a beat. Considering how powerful the abilities of the Great Luo Cave Observation had become in the later stages, allowing it to easily traverse space, whether for ambushes or escapes, it was top-notch. It was understandable that it was facing a calamity.
"Eh." Xiao Tian, the actor, quickly displayed his acting skills, his eyes moistened, tears streaming down his face, and he exuded a sense of sadness and melancholy.
"My master died from lightning tribulation because he failed to transcend the tribulation. Before he perished, he told me that practitioners of the Great Luo Cave Observation must purify their three roots, Xiuxin and do good deeds, and accumulate public and private merits and blessings. Now that almost three years have passed, I'm starting to panic."
"No wonder Second Brother joined the company." Brother Ma sensed Xiao Tian's emotions; they were completely genuine, he was affected, and childhood sorrows were recalled. He couldn't help but pat Xiao Tian's shoulder, comforting him, "Second Brother, you will definitely succeed in overcoming this tribulation. It will be alright. Although Master is gone, he left you and me a crucial key."
"Then I'll take your kind words, brother. I'm a little tired, I'm going to rest."
"Ding! Ma Xianhong's affinity for the Heavenly Dao Inheritor has deepened, trust level: confidant! Achievement Points *9! Unsealing progress 42%!"
