Under One Person: I, Jiaqian Jushi, work from nine to five.

Zhang Chulan tapped the profile picture of the temporary worker from East China and zoomed in. Looking at the middle-aged man with glasses on his phone, Zhang Chulan felt that he looked a bit fierce and didn't seem like a good person.

East China: Is anyone there?

East China: Hasn't everyone received their mission yet?

Seeing that the temporary worker from East China was talking to himself in the group and no one was paying attention to him, Zhang Chulan thought for a moment and greeted him.

North China: Hello, big brother from East China, what's your name?

East China: Finally, I see someone! Hello, I'm from North China, my surname is Xiao, I'm thirty-nine years old, and a bit ruthless...

The temporary worker surnamed Xiao from East China first introduced himself, and then quietly sent Zhang Chulan a red envelope as a greeting.

Just as Zhang Chulan was about to claim it, he discovered that the red envelope had already been claimed.

Grass.

It is a type of plant.

Looking at the message "Hurry up, the red envelopes are all gone" on his phone, Zhang Chulan internally cursed, unsure whether he should say it or not.

So they're all lurking!

One red envelope and they all popped out!

...

Just as Zhang Chulan was interacting with the temporary workers from other regions in a group chat, Zhou Fengliu, who had just finished a phone call with Zhang Chulan in Biyou Village, seemed to have guessed that Zhang Chulan and the temporary workers from the other regions were heading towards Biyou Village.

"Judging from the tone... is that Lao Zhang?"

Zhuge Qing, who never liked gossip, seemed to have used the "Listening to the Wind" technique to hear that the voice he had just spoken with Zhou Fengliu sounded a bit like Zhang Chulan.

"Oh, it was him... asking if I was in Tianjin."

Zhou Fengliu put his phone on the small table, ate two more bites of noodles, and finished all the noodles in the bowl before letting out a satisfied burp.

After putting the bowl of noodles back in the kitchen, Zhou Fengliu glanced at Fu Rong, who was still preparing dinner.

"Rongzi... I've put the money on the table for you. We're leaving now."

Hearing Zhou Fengliu call her Rongzi again, Fu Rong almost threw the dagger in her hand at Zhou Fengliu's face.

"Let's go, let's go..."

"Okay." Zhou Fengliu was about to leave when he seemed to remember something and turned back to ask, "When are you bringing dinner to Chen Duo tonight?"

"..."

Hearing Zhou Fengliu's question, Fu Rong replied somewhat impatiently, "Chen Duo has left the village... no need to see her off."

Have we left the village?

when?

Zhou Fengliu thought for a moment after hearing the sound. He had delivered food to Chen Duo last night, and it hadn't even been 24 hours before Ma Xianhong sent him away.

Seeing that he shook his head and said he understood, he then came out of the kitchen.

...

As evening approached, Zhuge Qing and Wang Ye strolled around the village for a while. Before long, they were invited by Ma Xianhong's men to the house at the end of the village where the new self-cultivation furnace was located.

Ma Xianhong finally repaired his cultivation furnace, and as soon as it was repaired, he couldn't wait to start recruiting Zhuge Qing and Wang Ye to join him.

When Zhuge Qing and Wang Ye first heard Ma Xianhong say that the furnace behind him was a vessel for refining people, they were both somewhat bewildered.

Then they witnessed the cultivation furnace transforming ordinary people into extraordinary beings, leaving them completely stunned and exclaiming how miraculous it was.

"Master Wang, Brother Zhuge... stay and help me..."

Once again, Ma Xianhong invited his beloved partner to board his doomed pirate ship.

"this..."

Zhuge Qing and Wang Ye exchanged glances but remained silent.

...

After a moment.

Ma Xianhong asked Fu Rong to prepare a table full of dishes for them to eat and chat over. During the two days he was repairing the furnace, he hadn't had a proper meal.

"Brother Zhou... Brother Zhuge, Master Wang, please have a seat..."

Ma Xianhong invited Zhou Fengliu and the other two over, and a strange man named Guo Liang sat with them.

"Old Ma...you're really biased."

Zhou Fengliu glanced at the food and dishes on the table, including the liquor, and then silently looked at Ma Xianhong.

Why wasn't the hospitality this good when I came here?

Upon hearing this, Ma Xianhong raised an eyebrow slightly. He pondered for two seconds before realizing why he hadn't entertained Zhou Fengliu back then.

Didn't they start repairing the furnace that very night? There was no time to entertain Zhou Fengliu.

Old Ma felt a pang of heartache when he thought about how Zhou Fengliu had blown up his cultivation furnace.

Such a huge stove.

It exploded without warning.

He should have known better than to let Zhou Fengliu go up and try.

"This is to make up for it for Brother Zhou."

Ma Xianhong told Zhou Fengliu and the others not to be shy and to eat and drink as they pleased.

However, apart from Zhou Fengliu, Zhuge Qing and Wang Ye seemed to be still engrossed in Ma Xianhong's miraculous body-cultivating furnace and didn't eat much.

"Brother Zhuge... Master Wang, as you've seen, the Body Cultivation Furnace... and these beautiful women, these are creations forged through divine craftsmanship..."

Ma Xianhong looked at Zhuge Qing and Wang Ye, then turned his gaze to Zhou Fengliu.

"As long as you are willing to stay and help me with the furnace, when the Perfect Body Refinement Furnace is completed, you will not only have the right to use it, but I will also give you the Divine Refinement Hundred Techniques."

Upon hearing the words "Divine Craftsmanship Refinement," Zhuge Qing raised an eyebrow, somewhat shocked.

"Master Ma, you are really generous... That's one of the Eight Extraordinary Skills."

"What's wrong with the Eight Extraordinary Techniques?" Ma Xianhong paused for a moment, then said, "If the Eight Extraordinary Techniques can be exchanged for the help of the three of you... then I can truly say that I've made a killing."

Ma Xianhong is not stupid.

He possessed the divine wisdom to exchange for the Heavenly Talisman and the successor of the Feng Hou Qi Men technique to help him...

This looks like a great deal.

According to Lao Ma's current thinking.

If either Zhuge Qing or Wang Ye, these two sorcerers, stay to help him tend the furnace, the vacancy of sorcerers in Biyou Village can be filled.

As for Zhou Fengliu, he is someone we must strive to win over. Originally, Biyou Village had a talisman master, but unfortunately, Zhao Guizhen had Zhou Fengliu take him away last night. So it would be best for Zhou Fengliu, the successor of the Tongtian Talisman, to fill the vacancy.

“Brother Zhou... what I said also applies to you.”

Seeing that Zhou Fengliu was focused on eating and seemed like an outsider, Ma Xianhong spoke up to remind him.

Before Zhou Fengliu could say anything, Wang Ye suddenly slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "That's great!"

"The cult leader is a man of principle. He even brought out this Divine Craftsmanship, which shows his great sincerity... Well then, let's think about it tonight and give you an answer tomorrow."

Wang Ye looked at Ma Xianhong and began to speak.

“No problem... I’ll be waiting for your good news tomorrow.” Ma Xianhong let Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing get up and leave.

"Old Zhou...aren't you coming?" Wang Ye asked when he saw that Zhou Fengliu hadn't followed.

Chapter 141 Zhou Fengliu: If you had said that earlier, I wouldn't be sleepy anymore! (Second Update)

"They're here." Zhou Fengliu followed after hearing the voice.

Watching the three figures disappear into the distance, Ma Xianhong smiled and then asked Guo Liang beside him, "Guo Liang, which of these three do you think will stay in our Biyou Village?"

Guo Liang, who had been singled out by the cult leader, stroked his chin and pondered for two seconds.

"Master... I think the most handsome one might stay."

"The most handsome?" Upon hearing this adjective, Ma Xianhong raised an eyebrow slightly.

Are you talking about Brother Zhuge?

"Huh?" Hearing Ma Xianhong mention Zhuge Qing, Guo Liang shook his head: "No, Master, it's that Zhou Fengliu... You don't know, these past few days, that Zhou Fengliu has practically made our village his own home..."

"He's always going in and out of the kitchen that Fu Rong is in charge of... People who know him would think he's a tourist from our village, and people who don't would think he's a villager..."

"Oh, that's how it is."

Ma Xianhong was somewhat surprised. In his opinion, Zhou Fengliu was probably the least likely of the three to stay. But after Guo Liang said that, he felt that he could still try to win Zhou Fengliu over.

"Guo Liang, immediately gather all the top-tier talents in the village..."

"Yes..." Guo Liang nodded upon hearing this.
