362: Chapter 6 Searching for Biyou Village

"I remember you saying that you have a unique set of acupuncture techniques that can disperse the Qi inside a person's body, right?"

Upon hearing Xu Si's words, Meng Li was slightly taken aback, then nodded and said, "That's right, it's called the 'Huayang Acupuncture Technique'."

He had created this Huayang Acupuncture Technique by combining acupuncture methods with acupoint striking skills. The inspiration came from the acupuncture technique of the same name that Yuan Tiangang taught Li Xingyun in the domestic anime series 'The Bad Guys' that he had watched in his first life. Since the effects were similar, he simply borrowed the name.

Immediately, Meng Li asked, "Why, do you want to learn it?"

Xu Si didn't answer but instead asked, "Will it cause any harm to a person after their Qi is dispersed?"

Meng Li shook his head. "No. I specifically created this technique to avoid hurting people, and having one's Qi dispersed doesn't mean the person is crippled. The effect of the technique has a time limit; after the time limit passes, the dispersed Qi can be recovered over time."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly realized something and stared at Xu Si, saying, "You aren't thinking of doing this to your old man, are you?"

Xu Si nodded calmly. "There's no other way. You know his physical condition and his personality."

"If I don't use some other methods, I'm afraid he won't settle down until he's lying in bed and unable to move."

"I want him to live a few more years."

Meng Li frowned and said, "That treats the symptoms but not the root cause."

Xu Si said, "First, I'll treat the symptoms to make him settle down for a while, and then I'll figure out a way to replace him. Once he's down, even if he isn't completely settled, at least he won't be able to cause trouble like before. Over time, he'll naturally settle down."

"Aren't you afraid he'll beat you up afterwards?" Meng Li asked.

Xu Si spread his hands. "Getting beaten is still better than him shortening his lifespan. If it really comes to it, I'll pull Xu San and Feng Baobao into it."

"With Feng Baobao there, no matter how angry he gets, he won't really lay a heavy hand."

Meng Li looked hesitant.

Seeing this, Xu Si wrapped his arm around Meng Li's shoulder and smiled slyly. "As long as you help with this favor, I'll treat you to a week of foot baths at Dao."

Meng Li curled his lips and said disdainfully, "I, the dignified Tenth National Player..."

"Three weeks."

"Three months!"

Xu Si's eyelid twitched.

Three months? You might as well just live in the shop.

While complaining in his heart, he didn't stop talking and directly cut it in half: "A month and a half."

"Deal."

Xu Si: "..."

Damn, I cut it too little!

He immediately looked pained, but still nodded.

Afterward, Meng Li added, "Also, after this business is done, I need to go on a long trip."

"Why?" Xu Si asked, puzzled.

"To avoid the limelight!" Meng Li glanced at him sideways and said crossly, "Once your old man realizes what happened, he'll definitely come looking for trouble with me. If I don't go out to avoid it, am I supposed to just stay home and wait for him to come to my door and scold me?"

Xu Si thought about it and realized it made sense, so he nodded. "Alright, then once the heat dies down, I'll call and let you know."

"Mm."

In the time that followed, Meng Li began to instruct Xu Si on the essentials of the Huayang Acupuncture Technique.

Once Xu Si had learned it without any issues, he cooperatively greeted Xu Xiang and then slipped away.

As for how Xu Si would implement his subsequent plan to oust Xu Xiang from his position as the head of the Lu Bei District for Everywhere Connect, he didn't ask.

And his long trip wasn't because he was truly afraid of Xu Xiang coming to his door; he had another purpose—searching for Biyou Village!

More accurately, he was searching for Ma Xianhong, the successor of the Divine Mechanism Hundred Refinements, one of the Eight Peculiar Skills.

The Eight Peculiar Skills are the eight most top-tier peculiar arts in the under one person world. Their names are: Daluo Cave Observation, Qi Source Flow, Divine Mechanism Hundred Refinements, Wind-After Odd Gates, Heavenly Scroll, Restraining Spirits and Dispatching Generals, Shuangquan Hand, and Six Treasury Immortal Thief.

Each of them has miraculous effects.

Meng Li was very interested, and if possible, he naturally wanted to take a peek at them.

He had already mastered Daluo Cave Observation.

The Qi Source Flow was currently with Feng Baobao. He had once looked for an opportunity to investigate it using Daluo Cave Observation, but because it involved Feng Baobao, the biggest mystery in this world and a core character for subsequent developments, he had triggered a self-set warning while observing.

Immeasurable!

Otherwise, it would attract the attention of the World Will and result in being locked in a dark room like Gu Ji Ting.

Therefore, Meng Li had to give up for the time being, waiting until the Qi Source Flow was passed from Feng Baobao to Zhang Chulan in the future, and then attempt to observe it again.

Because he vaguely remembered that although Zhang Chulan was the male lead of under one person, according to Wang Ye's speculation, his weight of destiny in this world was far less than Feng Baobao's.

As for the remaining six peculiar skills, the ones relatively easier to obtain were the Divine Mechanism Hundred Refinements and the Heavenly Scroll.

Between the two, the Divine Mechanism Hundred Refinements was relatively easier. This was because its successor, Ma Xianhong, didn't place much importance on this peculiar skill. As long as one had talent in Artifact Refining or could be of help to him, obtaining the Divine Mechanism Hundred Refinements would be easy.

The Heavenly Scroll was in the hands of Lu Jin, one of The Ten Elders of The Realm of Extraordinary People. After the plot officially started, he would take it out as a prize for the Luotian Grand Ritual.

When the time came, as long as Meng Li won, he could legitimately obtain the Heavenly Scroll.

However, there was still some time before the start of the Luotian Grand Ritual, so he planned to find Ma Xianhong first to obtain the Divine Mechanism Hundred Refinements.

And as for the place where Ma Xianhong appeared, in Meng Li's memory, there was only Biyou Village.

But he didn't know the specific location of Biyou Village, so he had to slowly inquire about it.

In recent years, he had often taken the opportunity while traveling to search everywhere, but so far without success.

He didn't know if it hadn't been established yet or if the location was too remote.

Over time, he just let things take their course; at worst, he would just follow the plot.

Therefore, on this trip, although Meng Li still carried the purpose of searching, he didn't hold much hope. As it turned out...

Unsurprisingly, he still hadn't found it.

Looking at the remote village by the mountain and water before him, Meng Li sighed inwardly, put the matter of Biyou Village aside, and started strolling while admiring the scenery.

Halfway through his stroll, his phone rang.

Meng Li took it out and saw it was a call from Xu Si, so he answered it.

"What is it?"

"The plan was a success. The heat has died down; you can come back now."

"Alright."

"That's all then. I just took over, so I'm a bit busy."

"Mm."

After hanging up the phone, Meng Li continued his stroll, but unexpectedly, before long, he suddenly noticed someone approaching from this direction at an abnormal speed.

Extraordinary People, and more than one.

Meng Li looked toward the sound, and with his extraordinary eyesight, he immediately saw two young men fleeing at high speed through the mountain forest, one after the other.

Both of them should be active outside often, as their skin was somewhat dark.

The one in front had orange hair, wore a white shirt and brown jacket on his upper body, and beige trousers paired with black and white sneakers on his lower body.

The person behind had blue-purple hair, wore two large earrings, a white inner shirt and black short-sleeved jacket on his upper body, and gray cropped pants and black sneakers on his lower body.

The two moved freely through the mountain forest, and their movements were quite agile.

What caught Meng Li's attention was the yellow-haired one in front, because the other party used Lightness Skill while moving, not only leading in speed but also reducing his presence.

However, the one chasing him wasn't the purple-haired youth behind.

On the contrary, the purple-haired youth was running away just like the yellow-haired one.

Chasing the two of them was a white doll and a strange creature with a lion dance head and dragonfly wings.
