"Speaking of which, don't you think the atmosphere here is a bit off?"
Wang Ye glanced around thoughtfully. "Hmm, there is some. Didn't you notice? All the people from Dutong are here."
Zhuge Qing was slightly taken aback, then realized, "You mean... they came for that Ma Xianhong?"
"Very likely," Wang Ye said. "It seems this banquet today is no ordinary event."
A hint of excitement flashed in Zhuge Qing's eyes:
"Hehe, the more complicated it is, the more fun it is."
"Let's see how this show unfolds."
At this moment, Lin Yang wandered around the venue.
His gaze frequently swept across the various stalls and crowds.
Suddenly, his gaze settled on a tall man, who was none other than Ma Xianhong.
Ma Xianhong also noticed Lin Yang's gaze. He took a step and walked straight towards Lin Yang.
"May I ask your name?"
Ma Xianhongdao.
Lin Yang smiled slightly and handed over a business card: "Lin Yang, Pawnshop No. 8".
Ma Xianhong took the business card, glanced at it, and raised his eyebrows slightly:
"The owner of Pawnshop No. 8?"
"I never expected you to be a pawnshop owner."
"Just doing some small business to make a living," Lin Yang said casually, but his tone exuded confidence.
"However, you can come to my pawnshop if you need anything."
Ma Xianhong shook his head: "I think I don't have anything worth doing."
Lin Yang smiled knowingly: "Really nothing? Don't you have any regrets or anything?"
"As long as you pay a certain price to pawn your items, our pawnshop can help you realize your wish."
Ma Xianhong was stunned when he heard Lin Yang's words.
A hint of confusion and pain flashed in his eyes, as if some deep-seated memory had been touched.
He was silent for a moment, then slowly began to speak:
"How about this, I have a treasure that I don't know if you'd be interested in. Could you also help me check if it's worth anything?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yang's lips curled up slightly, showing great interest: "Oh? Okay, then I'll come and see your treasure."
Ma Xianhong turned around and led Lin Yang toward the back mountain.
This area behind the mountain is indeed rarely visited by people on weekdays.
The trees are lush and green, and the path winds and twists, as if it were a secret passage to another world.
The two walked for a short while before arriving in front of a huge furnace.
The stove was entirely black, emitting a faint warmth, and looked quite mysterious.
"You mean this stove?"
Lin Yang looked at the stove in front of him and had already guessed seven or eight parts of the story.
This should be the body-cultivating furnace made by Ma Xianhong.
Ma Xianhong's face showed a smug smile:
"This is no ordinary furnace 807."
"It's called the Body Cultivation Furnace, and it can change the fate of ordinary people."
"To give them the power to become Inhumans."
Lin Yang walked around the cultivation furnace, examined it carefully, and then nodded:
"Yes, it's definitely a good product."
Ma Xianhong asked curiously, "What do you think this stove can be pawned for?"
Lin Yang said, "Although your furnace is magical, in my eyes it's only good for pawning some money."
"Why?" Ma Xianhong asked, somewhat puzzled.
"This furnace can create superhuman beings, isn't it valuable?"
"It is valuable, but it depends on who has it."
Lin Yang explained:
"Something like you can create superhumans, but they're not high-level."
“Apart from that, these extraordinary individuals were simply given abilities suddenly.”
"They have no combat experience or skills at all, so they will never amount to anything."
"Of course, these are not the main points."
At this point, Lin Yang deliberately paused, then leaned close to Ma Xianhong's ear and whispered:
"The most important core of your furnace is one thing inside it."
Ma Xianhong asked instinctively, "What is that?"
Lin Yang said, word by word, "A piece of meat."
Chapter 154: This piece of meat resembles a person's internal organs
"A piece of meat?" Ma Xianhong frowned, his face full of confusion.
"How come there's a piece of meat inside this cultivation furnace?"
He looked around, his eyes filled with confusion and doubt, as if it were all so unbelievable.
Lin Yang remained calm, offering a faint smile as if he had already seen through everything.
"So, what do you think should be inside this cultivation furnace?"
Ma Xianhong was stunned for a moment, then said, "Of course it is a special kind of magic artifact that can change a person's physique and allow ordinary people to obtain spiritual roots."
Lin Yang gently shook his head, pointing to the strange glow on the cultivation furnace:
“Look closely, aren’t the patterns on this cultivation furnace exactly the same as the eight extraordinary meridians in a person?”
"And those protruding areas, don't they look like the human internal organs?"
Upon hearing this, Ma Xianhong examined the body-cultivating furnace more carefully once again.
The more he looked, the more alarmed he became, and the more he realized that Lin Yang was right.
This body-cultivating furnace is actually exactly the same as the human body structure!
"What...what exactly is going on?" Ma Xianhong's voice trembled slightly.
Lin Yang didn't speak, but just quietly looked at Ma Xianhong.
He knew that there were some things that Ma Xianhong needed to figure out for himself.
Ma Xianhong suddenly clutched his head, a look of pain on his face. "I...I seem to have lost some memories."
He tried desperately to recall, but those memories seemed to have been ripped out; he couldn't remember them no matter how hard he tried.
Lin Yang looked at Ma Xianhong's pained expression.
He knew that Ma Xianhong's memories had indeed been taken away.
"Your memories have probably been stolen by someone."
Lin Yang said softly, his voice revealing an undeniable certainty.
Ma Xianhong suddenly raised his head and looked at Lin Yang, "You... how did you know?"
Lin Yang said, "For most people, amnesia is like losing something."
"Because that thing truly existed, he will desperately search for it."
He glanced at Ma Xianhong and continued:
"But your memory is like it's been erased by an eraser."
"So clean it makes you wonder if you ever really had those memories."
"That's why you can't recover your memories no matter what you do."
Upon hearing this, Ma Xianhong suddenly felt a strange sense of panic.
He said, "You...you mean, my memories were forcibly removed?"
Lin Yang nodded and said affirmatively, "That's right, that's exactly it."
"Moreover, the only one who can do this is probably the Dual-Handed Master of the Eight Extraordinary Skills."
Ma Xianhong's face turned deathly pale instantly.
He was no stranger to the dual-wielding technique.
He said, "But... the only one who knew the Dual Arts was Duanmu Ying back then, and she has now disappeared."
Lin Yang smiled and said, "Who said that? What I do know is that Duanmu Ying was once arrested by the Lü family."
"Later, many members of the Lü family learned the Minghun Technique."
"Perhaps some of them have even mastered the art of dual-wielding."
Ma Xianhong said, "You mean... the Lü family captured Duanmu Ying and then learned the Dual-Hand Technique from her?"
Lin Yang said, "That's right, but that's just the beginning."
"Later, Duanmu Ying disappeared, along with a little girl from the Lü family."
"I suspect that the little girl may have also inherited the ability to use both hands."
He paused, then continued, "In short, there are quite a few people who are skilled in both arts."
