As long as Qu Tong kept an eye on Ma Xianhong, this important pawn in her hand, then she must already know that I have mastered the Divine Machine Crafts.
This is the risk one must take when acquiring the seemingly easiest of the Eight Wonders, the Divine Machine Crafts.
Qing Shui felt that this risk was still worth taking.
However, based on the current situation, if he really revealed some of the secrets contained within the Self-Cultivation Furnace, then it wouldn't just be the risk of being targeted by Qu Tong, but a certain confrontation with this mysterious woman!
Her strength and influence should not be underestimated.
The ability of the All-Skills, even among the Eight Wonders, is quite bizarre and hard to defend against. Qu Tong controls the Outcast Stars, a major Outcast force, and can pull out a group of powerful subordinates at any time with the All-Skills, including Chai Yan, a master of Chai-style Horizontal Training, and Wang Guoping, another successor of the Six Treasures Immortal Thief.
Although he wasn't necessarily afraid of this woman, he was only just starting out and had a lot of room to grow. There was no need to confront her now.
Because there was no profit to be gained.
From Ma Xianhong, he could swindle the Divine Machine Crafts, but from the flesh and blood born from Qu Tong, he couldn't obtain the All-Skills.
And without the All-Skills, he couldn't recreate a Self-Cultivation Furnace.
Why bother?
He wasn't so bored that he had to make enemies for himself.
If he really wanted to do something, waiting until he could sweep through the Outcast world, or after he had grasped enough power, would be a wise choice.
Half a month later.
"Crack!"
A thick arm separated from Bai Jin's body and flew to Qing Shui, automatically attaching to his hand.
Compared to before, this time Qing Shui didn't use Chakra threads.
Because this entire arm had already completed the transformation into a Dharma artifact, and it was engraved with mysterious sealing runes, strengthening the arm's Qi capacity.
The quality and volume of this arm were not comparable to the previous flying needle. If it were given to another Refiner, even if they possessed first-class refining methods like the Mo Sect Divine Machine, it would probably take six or seven years to complete the transformation.
But with the Divine Machine Crafts, the efficiency was hundreds of times higher than other Refiners. These steps were completed in just over ten days, reaching the final stage of Dharma artifact forging—after all, transformation is the most important, time-consuming stage of forging Dharma artifacts, but it's not the whole thing. There are other steps before a transformed object can be forged into a Dharma artifact.
"As expected, directly using Qi to drive the Dharma artifact is more flexible and convenient than Chakra threads, and the upper limit of power has also been greatly improved."
Qing Shui held the Dharma artifact gauntlet, clenched his fist, and nodded in satisfaction, feeling the abundant Qi within.
If he wasn't afraid of making too much noise late at night, he would really want to find a place to test its power right now.
Should he run out and find a wilderness to try it out?
"This face... I don't recognize it, but it looks very rough, giving me the feeling that it's unnatural, as if it was sculpted according to someone's face and then simply modified as a disguise."
Using the Transparent World to conceal his own aura, Qing Shui looked at the strange man outside, his heart sinking.
As a ninja, Qing Shui was very familiar with methods such as disguise and camouflage.
Most of the time, ninjas would use the Transformation Technique to disguise themselves, but in most cases, ordinary ninjas' Transformation Technique couldn't fool the Sharingan and Byakugan of Konoha, and it was also difficult to fool those experienced sensory ninjas.
Therefore, some ninjas would also use the disguise and makeup techniques from before the Transformation Technique was invented.
Moreover, Qing Shui was also a medical ninja with first-class medical ninjutsu skills, so he could see the unnatural places on a person's face after it had been transformed more clearly.
And in the world of Under One Person, besides Qu Tong, who completely mastered the All-Skills, who else possesses such methods?
It seems I'm still being targeted.
Yes, I was too presumptuous before.
Just mastering the Divine Machine Crafts, which only a small number of people can learn, is already tempting enough, not to mention that I showed a lot of valuable methods before in order to gain Ma Xianhong's trust.
With the Outcast Stars' intelligence capabilities, it's easy to find out my identity.
Qu Tong must also know that Qing Shui's current technological achievements are enough to easily reach the peak in the academic world in the future, and have a certain influence in some aspects of society. He will definitely become a top scientist and be qualified to make suggestions to the highest levels of this country in many directions.
In addition, as a grand-disciple of the current Mo Sect Giant and a core direct descendant of the Mo Sect, it is indeed meaningful to be controlled..."
I just don't know why Qu Tong would choose to take action at this time.
Although the All-Skills' ability to transform people's souls and spirits is very heaven-defying, it can only be relatively easily transformed when the other party is in a low mood and there are flaws in their mind.
What makes Qu Tong dare to directly attack him?
Is she relying on something, or does she simply look down on his strength?
Yes, since coming to this world, he has indeed not taken action.
With Qu Tong's abilities, she should be able to easily find out that he has only been an Outcast for a few months.
Logically speaking, even if he has a few Mo Sect Dharma artifacts on him, his strength wouldn't be too strong, and his mental strength might only be slightly stronger than that of ordinary people.
After all, going from weak to strong takes time and requires accumulating foundation.
"Aura concealment, suspected of being under related spells or carrying related Dharma artifacts. I didn't notice until they touched me. The methods should be simple.
The intensity and activity of the Qi are very high. Although it is not comparable to the Great Master, it is already very close to some of the older generation of powerhouses in the sect who have reached the Heavenly Ambition realm. This guy is either Qu Tong herself, or some of the stronger old guys under Qu Tong."
Qing Shui's eyes flickered, and he looked at the figure outside the courtyard who was lightly jumping over the wall with some excitement, and clenched his fist.
This guy doesn't seem weak, just right to use him to test the power of his Dharma artifact!
Strike first!
The next second, the brick wall exploded.
A silver-white metal arm engraved with sealing spells flew out and slammed heavily on the intruder before they could react.
"Bang!"
The ground cracked, and two long, deep trenches were plowed out by a pair of feet wearing old-fashioned gray cloth shoes.
“What a powerful puppet. Even I feel my blood and Qi churning and my internal organs shifting after taking just one punch.”
The newcomer glanced at the large hole in his clothes and the faint marks on his skin, looking at Shimizu's position with considerable shock.
“Your external martial arts are also very impressive. In today's world of Outcasts, there shouldn't be many with such skill. Is it Ru Hu of the Ten Elders, or Ding Shaan of Quanxing? You're definitely not them. The Two Heroes are far more capable than this. If they were here, I definitely couldn't beat them.
Huang Ning'er of the Qiuzhen Society? Doesn't seem like it either. Her strength is also approaching the level of the Ten Elders, and you're not quite there yet. In that case, your identity is very clear. I think I know, right? Senior Chai Yan, your disguise skills are truly superb.”
The tall platinum puppet walked out of the ruins, and Shimizu smiled slightly, looking down at the person in front of him.
Upon having his identity revealed, Chai Yan paused almost imperceptibly.
Actually, there's no need to guess so complicatedly.
Possessing such powerful external martial arts and being related to Qu Tong, who else could it be but Chai Yan?
This person's strength is just right to be my opponent.
Among the older generation of experts, Chai Yan is not particularly outstanding, not reaching the level of the Ten Elders, his upper limit restricted by his talent. But that's compared to old monsters like Lu Jin and Lu Ci, who are over a hundred years old, and middle-aged monsters like Na Ru Hu and Ding Shaan, who are strong enough to transcend age.
His strength is not weak.
In the original story, this old guy single-handedly withstood Zhang Chulan, who had activated the Qi Ti Yuan Liu, and Lu Lin, who had used Reverse Life Second Stage, two top young experts, plus Feng Baobao, a temporary worker, without taking any damage.
If it weren't because he saw Zhang Chulan possessing a power similar to Divine Inspiration, and knowing he lacked sufficiently powerful attack methods to defeat Zhang Chulan, he wouldn't have killed his companions and himself under the influence of Shuang Quanshou. Zhang Chulan and the other two would have truly been stopped.
From this, we can roughly judge Chai Yan's level.
Stronger than the top young experts and temporary workers, but not to the point of crushing them.
For a horizontal comparison, similar to Yuan Tao, who can suppress a top young expert like Zhang Lingyu in a one-on-one situation, and can definitely win given enough time, but cannot achieve a quick victory and may even be entangled by Zhang Lingyu for a long time.
If there were one or two more opponents of this level, then it would be difficult to say who would win or lose.
“There are many people with impressive external martial arts, so how can you be so sure that I am Chai Yan?”
Chai Yan tore apart his clothes, revealing a strong physique, and grinned at Shimizu with a roughly modified face.
Of course, it's because I know about your relationship with Qu Tong!
“Of course, there are many, but among these people, those who are more powerful than you don't need to hide their identities, and those who are not famous probably don't have your level.”
Shimizu casually made up an explanation, urging the platinum puppet to crush Chai Yan.
One punch, another punch, and another punch!
This arm, transformed into a magical artifact, contains extremely powerful force.
Chai Yan's external martial arts are very strong. Relying on the defense of his outer skin and muscles, the surface of his body hasn't even suffered much damage. However, the strength of his internal organs is far different from the outside.
Even if his internal organs have undergone some strengthening and tempering, they are still inevitably injured by such a huge force.
Chai Yan wanted to dodge and try to launch an attack from another direction.
But the platinum puppet's strength is not just in one arm.
An A+ grade puppet, under the control of a puppeteer of Shimizu's level, is flawless. Its agility and speed in action are even faster than Chai Yan's.
Even the arm that hasn't been strengthened into a magical artifact already possesses the power to wrestle with an external martial artist of Chai Yan's level.
Not to mention that magical artifact arm!
An all-around stat crush!
“Pfft!”
A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Chai Yan's eyes widened, obviously suffering from serious internal injuries.
“Your magical artifact… it seems that the Mo Sect really values you, but any power needs energy to drive it. With your little bit of Qi, how long can you last?”
Chai Yan rolled away, dodging the punch of the magical artifact arm, and took the opportunity to wipe the corner of his mouth.
Stay calm!
As long as I hold on, I can win!
Ma Xianhong has already been transferred away. Relying on these Biyou Village residents, whose strength isn't particularly outstanding, even if this Mo Sect kid can wait for reinforcements, I can still capture this kid alive with my powerful body that bullets can't penetrate!
The advantage is on my side!
“You can try.”
Shimizu smiled disdainfully.
Without the Ark Reactor, relying on his current Qi, he might really be dragged down by Chai Yan's tough body, which is far stronger than fine steel, until he's exhausted.
But fortunately, he was prepared.
When he first obtained the Mo Sect Divine Machine, Shimizu was thinking about combining sealing techniques with Divine Machine techniques.
Today, it can be considered to have achieved some results.
Those sealing runes carved on the surface of the magical artifact arm, like patterns, can store Qi or Chakra, which can improve the output efficiency of the magical artifact to a certain extent, and can also nourish the magical artifact at all times.
And at the current stage, the most important thing is that the Qi stored in the seal can greatly improve his current endurance, so that he won't be exhausted after driving the magical artifact a few times.
At least, beating Chai Yan to death is no problem!
“Professor Zhuo!”
“What's that noise over there!”
“Not good, someone is attacking!”
“Hurry, go help!”
One by one, the villagers of Biyou Village, after discovering the commotion of the battle, hurriedly picked up the magical artifacts made by Chou Rang and Ma Xianhong and surrounded Shimizu's location.
It's just that Shimizu didn't give them a chance to intervene.
This scene was too violent.
“Boom!”
A punch strong enough to split mountains and rocks slammed Chai Yan into the ground.
This old man's internal organs have already been severely damaged, and he also has a concussion, his breath weak.
“Amazing, I heard that masters of external martial arts temper every part of their body perfectly, and I really can't find a weakness on you.”
Shimizu picked up Chai Yan, who was almost unconscious, and looked at the crowd that had arrived.
Fu Rong, who came with a fruit knife, Chou Rang, holding a gilded Ruyi, and Zhao Guizhen, stroking his beard and examining the platinum armor.
Bi Yuan, Hari Chagai, Zhang Kun, Ding Zihuan, Guo Liang…
They gathered in a large circle.
“Where's Lao Ma?”
“Village Chief had something to do temporarily and went out in the evening.”
