One person: Refining weapons? I told you to believe in science!

Chapter 131 The so-called—Qi Observation Technique!

Upon hearing Feng Baobao's words, Zhang Chulan was struck dumb and rushed forward to cover her mouth.

"Sister Bao'er! What nonsense are you talking about!"

While pulling Feng Baobao back, Zhang Chulan said in a low voice, "How did you know? You can't just say things like that!"

Feng Baobao didn't struggle even with her mouth covered; she just stared intently at Lin Quan with her clear, big eyes.

After Zhang Chulan let go of her hand, she slowly said, "Although he changed his clothes, his scent hasn't changed."

Zhang Chulan was both amused and exasperated, looking at Feng Baobao with a helpless expression and saying, "Smell? Baobao, you're not a police dog, how could you possibly smell it?"

Feng Baobao's expression turned serious for the first time, and she pointed to her nose.

Everyone has their own unique flavor.

"Just like a dog can smell different people, so can I."

Upon hearing Feng Baobao's explanation, several black lines immediately appeared on Zhang Chulan's forehead.

Feng Baobao turned her gaze to Lin Quan and said, enunciating each word clearly, "I won't forget his scent."

The conference room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Lin Quan looked at Feng Baobao's confident expression and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

It's said that you can tell a woman's character by her scent, but Feng Baobao seems to possess a skill that's even more advanced than that.

Can you tell a person apart just by their scent?

That makes sense, though.

There are many things in this world that cannot be explained.

Just like the art of observing qi, many people think that such a thing does not exist, but in reality, it not only exists, but I have also seen people who can use this technique.

The art of observing qi (vital energy) is used to determine good or bad fortune, health, or destiny by observing the "qi" of the human body or environment.

When Xia Liuqing first met Feng Baobao, she gave Feng Baobao a very high evaluation!

Feng Baobao – light in stature and graceful in spirit, with the appearance of an immortal!
Xia Liuqing observed that Feng Baobao was "light in form and light in breath" through the "Qi Observation Technique".

Lightness of form: refers to the lightness and agility of the body and movements, with no superfluous actions during combat, almost instinctive.

Her Qi is pure and introspective, reaching the state of "spiritual clarity and introspection" (as described by the old Celestial Master Zhang Zhiwei), which is similar to the Taoist state of unity between heaven and man!
What is form? Its external form is light and unhindered, and its internal energy is clear and pure, presenting a transcendent, otherworldly appearance—that of an immortal.

Perhaps it is because of Feng Baobao's immortality, lack of desire, and high harmony with nature.

However, when evaluating Chen Duo, the evaluation was not low, only slightly lower than that of Feng Baobao.

Chen Duo – with a dignified bearing and a light, airy demeanor, befitting a noble person!

Its outward appearance is heavy and oppressive, but its inner energy is exceptionally light.

However, this assessment was denied by Chen Duo herself.

Finally, Chen Duo even mocked herself for not being noble at all, and claimed that she was just a Gu, not a human!
The reason for Chen Duo's physical deformity may be that she was trained into a Gu-body Saint Child from a young age, and her body was corroded by Gu poison, resulting in her physical deformity.

Qi Qing: Although the original Gu poison is deadly, its Qi essence is highly compatible with nature. Although the Gu poison corrodes the body, it also brings considerable benefits!
Interesting! I'll probably have to go and study this technique with Xia Liuqing later.

Thinking it over, Lin Quan raised his hand and gently snapped his fingers—

“Click.”

The nano armor on his face receded like a tide, revealing faces that Chu Lan knew all too well.

Lin Quan smiled and said, "Long time no see, Chu Lan, baby!"

Zhang Chulan's pupils contracted sharply, and he froze on the spot.

"Brother Linlin?!"

Lin Quan walked up to Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao, glanced at them, and said, "I didn't expect that even though I disguised myself, you still saw through me in the end." Feng Baobao, without changing her expression, said to Lin Quan, "Hmm, your scent is very special, a... very complex scent!"

Upon hearing Feng Baobao's description, Lin Quan didn't ask any further questions, but instead turned to look at Zhang Chulan.

At this moment, Zhang Chulan's brain was working at lightning speed.

Before arriving, Zhang Chulan thought that the higher-ups were going to target the temporary workers this time.

Before they came, the Xu brothers, Xu San and Xu Si, had repeatedly given Zhang Chulan instructions.

If things go wrong, he'll immediately run away with Feng Baobao.

However, the moment Lin Quan appeared, Zhang Chulan immediately felt relieved.

Zhang Chulan raised his head, a bright and sunny smile spreading across his face.

Zhang Chulan asked Lin Quan, "Brother Lin, are you personally in charge of this mission?"

"With your strength and the elite troops under your command, why would you need a few of us to take action?"

Lin Quan knew perfectly well that Zhang Chulan was probing his weaknesses when he heard Zhang Chulan's words.

Lin Quan sneered inwardly.

Trying to trick me into revealing my secrets? Not so easy!

Zhang Chulan, no matter how hard you try, you'll never imagine that I'd deliberately try to scare you!

Fortunately, I'm only missing the last two of the Eight Extraordinary Skills to complete the set.

Lin Quan walked to Zhang Chulan's side, looked at him with a half-smile, and said, "This operation is a special test of temporary workers and the temporary worker system from above."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chulan's heart skipped a beat, but his smile grew even brighter.

He grabbed Lin Quan's arm, speaking to him as warmly as if they were old friends.

"Brother Lin! Given our relationship, you've got to look after your little brother!"

Lin Quan raised an eyebrow and subtly withdrew his hand: "Oh? What's the relationship?"

Zhang Chulan rubbed his hands together and lowered his voice: "You see, you must know, Bao'er's situation is special."

Lin Quan deliberately put on a stern face: "Zhang Chulan, are you trying to pull strings?"

Zhang Chulan quickly waved his hand, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.

"No way! I was just worried about the danger of this mission, could you..."

Lin Quan sneered, "What do you mean 'can't'? I still haven't returned the transforming hammer I borrowed from you last time, and now you want me to help you again?"

Zhang Chulan's face stiffened, and he quickly put on a forced smile, saying, "Look at my memory! I've always carried the hammer with me, just waiting for a chance to return it to you!"

After saying that, Zhang Chulan turned to look at Feng Baobao.

Feng Baobao was very sensible and quickly took out the Transformer Hammer from inside.

He handed over the hammer with both hands, his posture extremely humble.

Lin Quan took the hammer, weighed it in his hand, and suddenly asked, "Zhang Chulan, how much do you think Feng Baobao is worth?"

Zhang Chulan's pupils contracted sharply, and the smile on his face vanished instantly: "Brother Lin, what do you mean by that?"

Lin Quan toyed with the hammer and said, "The literal meaning is that the company's senior management has long been dissatisfied with the temporary worker system, and this operation is a test."

"Those that don't meet the standards will be removed."

Zhang Chulan unconsciously clenched his fists, then forced himself to relax them.

"Brother Lin, I'll agree to any condition as long as you're willing to help."
