One person: Starting with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, his grandmaster uncle emerges from seclusion.

He raised an eyebrow, looked at Ma Xianhong, and said lazily:

"Little Ma, don't do these empty flattery things so late at night."

"Although I, Daoist Master, enjoy hearing compliments, in this atmosphere... isn't it a bit disruptive for you to come out and clap your hands?"

"No, you've misunderstood."

Ma Xianhong straightened up, looked around at the temporary workers with their various expressions, and finally fixed his gaze on Chen Duo.

His eyes instantly turned fervent.

"The reason I applauded is because what the real person just said enlightened me."

"Since rules are meant to be broken, and since Chen Duo's fate is a dead end..."

Ma Xianhong took a deep breath, his voice rising several octaves, carrying an undeniable pride:

"Then why can't we break the deadlock in another way?"

"For example... creating miracles."

"Miracle?"

Zhang Chulan frowned, released his arm from Chen Duo's shoulder, and looked at Ma Xianhong warily:

"Old Ma, what kind of trouble are you up to now? Stop keeping us in suspense at this point."

Ma Xianhong ignored Zhang Chulan's wariness and turned to look at Zhuge Qing, who was standing to the side, using a folding fan to cover his face and trying to make himself less noticeable.

"Brother Zhuge, stop hiding."

Ma Xianhong's smile was meaningful:

"I must thank Brother Zhuge for his great help these past few days."

"Shh."

All eyes immediately turned to Zhuge Qing.

Wang Ye stared wide-eyed, his face contorted with a look that said, "You, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, have betrayed us too?"

"Old Qing? When did you become his buddy?"

Zhuge Qing coughed awkwardly twice, his fan waving rapidly.

"Ahem... well... academic exchange, purely academic exchange..."

Ma Xianhong didn't give Zhuge Qing a chance to explain, and dropped a bombshell:

"Thanks to Brother Zhuge's guidance in divination, my cultivation furnace... is nearing perfection!"

When Ma Xianhong spoke the words "body-cultivation furnace," he was practically glowing.

That's the absolute confidence that tech geeks have in their own work.

He walked up to Chen Duo, looked at the girl with a bewildered expression, and his tone became unusually firm:

“Chen Duo, your Gu poison has become one with you, and it is also the root of your suffering.”

"Conventional methods really can't save you; even a miracle doctor would be helpless."

"But... my cultivation furnace can!"

Ma Xianhong suddenly turned around, facing Zhang Tianyi and all the temporary workers, opened his arms, and loudly announced:

"I'm confident! I can use the perfect body-refining furnace to completely remove the primordial Gu poison from Chen Duo's body!"

"I will give her a brand new, normal body, free of any hidden dangers!"

"To transform her from a Gu gu that could explode at any moment into a real, ordinary human being!"

The entire room fell silent, all eyes turning to Ma Xianhong.

Even Feng Baobao, who was eating a watermelon, stopped what she was doing and tilted her head to look at Ma Xianhong.

Old Meng trembled all over, his lips quivering as he said, "Peel...peel off the Primal Gu? This...how is this possible? That thing has already grown together with her internal organs!"

"This is what I'm here to prove!"

A raging fire burned in Ma Xianhong's eyes:

"People in your company think I'm crazy, and they think the body-refining furnace is a scourge."

"Then I'll show you with your own eyes!"

"The things I, Ma Xianhong, create are not just troublemakers! They are divine artifacts that can defy fate and save those in despair!"

"I want you to... to see my life's work in a new light! To even... to acknowledge it!"

These bold words echoed in the night sky.

The temporary workers looked at each other in bewilderment.

Xiao Zizai pushed up his glasses, a glint of shrewdness flashing behind the lenses:

"If it's true... then this is indeed a perfect solution."

"The mission can be completed without killing any living beings."

Black Pipe stroked his chin, seemingly lost in thought:

"Although our mission is to destroy this furnace... what if this furnace could actually save lives..."

They're all cunning foxes, their minds churning with calculations.

Since we're going to smash the furnace anyway, why not... make use of it first before doing so?

What is this called?

That's called getting something for free!

Don't take advantage of the cheap bastard!

"Hey! Old Ma!!"

Just as everyone was weighing the pros and cons, an extremely exaggerated and enthusiastic exclamation broke the silence.

Zhang Chulan jumped out like a rocket.

He put his arm around Ma Xianhong's shoulder, acting very affectionately.

It was as if the person who had just confronted Ma Xianhong was not him at all.

"Awesome! My Brother Ma!"

"That's why everyone says you're incredibly kind and righteous!"

Zhang Chulan gave a thumbs up, his expression one of pure admiration:

"I knew it! I knew you weren't an ordinary person!"

"This is a terminal illness that even my second master found difficult to treat! You can actually cure it?!"

"Tsk tsk tsk! As expected of the successor of the Divine Craftsmanship! He has not disgraced us descendants of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques!"

While Zhang Chulan was showering Ma Xianhong with praise, he was also winking and making suggestive gestures to the temporary workers behind him.

What are you standing there for? Say yes!

Free medical resources are free, so why not take advantage of them!

We can talk about smashing the furnace after the person is healed!

Ma Xianhong was a little taken aback by Zhang Chulan's sudden enthusiasm.

But being praised did feel quite good, and my expression softened a little:

"Ahem... Zhang Chulan, you don't need to flatter me like that. I'm just stating the facts."

At this moment, Zhang Tianyi, who had been silent all along, finally made a move.

He finished his goji berry tea in one gulp, then slowly stood up.

"Remove the poison?"

Zhang Tianyi walked up to Ma Xianhong and looked at him through his sunglasses:

"Little Ma, if this boast comes out wrong, you'll be held responsible."

Are you sure... your stove will work?

"I swear on my life!" Ma Xianhong stared directly at Zhang Tianyi without flinching.

Zhang Tianyi stared at him for a while.

Although he knew in his heart that the core technology of this furnace was definitely related to the Shuangquanshou (a type of martial arts practitioner).

The person hiding behind... is probably also trying to use this opportunity to conduct an experiment?

but……

who cares.

Since someone is willing to do free labor to help him solve the same problem his junior brother is facing, why wouldn't he be happy to do it?

As long as he was there, even if the furnace exploded, he could protect Chen Duo.

"alright."

Zhang Tianyi shrugged, a relaxed expression on his face.

"Since you're so confident, why don't you give it a try?"

"Perfect, I'm too lazy to rack my brains for a solution."

"but……"

Zhang Tianyi turned around and looked at Chen Duo, who had been silent all along.

He did not make the decision for Chen Duo.

Instead, he walked up to her, squatted down, and brought his eyes to her level.

"Girl."

Zhang Tianyi's voice softened:

"You heard what that kid said just now."
