Simultaneous travel: The group is about to be wiped out

Chapter 222 A Thousand Miles of Spiritual Travel, Returning with Flowers
Seeing that Wang Ai beside him had agreed, Lü Ci chuckled and also agreed.

“We will certainly obey the orders from above. Since that’s the case, then my Lu family will also comply with this matter. However, I hope the company will keep its eyes open and not wrong an innocent person. My Lu family has absolutely no connection with these Eight Extraordinary Techniques.”

Although he was nicknamed Mad Dog, Lü Ci had his own calculations, and agreeing to it was the best choice under these circumstances.

Moreover, the Lü family doesn't possess any of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques; they only have the Soul-Enlightening Technique.

Many top figures in the world of supernatural beings could guess that the Lü family's Minghun Technique and the Eight Extraordinary Skills were related.

However, they had never seen the Eight Extraordinary Skills and dared not make any conclusions.

To attempt to take action against the Lü family based solely on this speculation is nothing short of wishful thinking.

All of this was thanks to Lü Ci's discreet actions at the time, which kept him hidden from everyone.

Even the Duanmu family and Jishetang at the time only thought that Duanmu Ying had gone overseas.

With Lü Ci's words, the matter was finally settled.

Although the Eight Extraordinary Techniques were not completely abolished, the effect was already quite unexpected.

Fortunately, all the effort was worthwhile.

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Fangxu revealed a sincere smile.

"Everyone, this meeting is now officially over. There are only these two things to discuss, and I will repeat them once again."

"First, we will establish the Ten Elders to manage major affairs in the world of supernatural beings. Second, we will stop the Eight Extraordinary Techniques incident. All those who possess the Eight Extraordinary Techniques must register with the company. Otherwise, for the sake of social stability, the company will take action on its own."

After saying that, Zhao Fangxu stood up and said some polite words.

"Everyone, the peace we enjoy today is hard-won. Maintaining stability between the superhuman world and ordinary people requires the joint efforts of everyone present. Alright, this meeting is now adjourned. You may leave."

With those final words spoken, everyone present lingered, stood up, and left.

Although the meeting did not cover a large number of topics, each item was enough to shake the world of supernatural beings.

With the ten elders confirmed, the resources of the supernatural world have been divided up, leaving little room for other sects, especially smaller ones, to survive and thrive.

The second issue concerns the Eight Extraordinary Techniques. The company's stance is now quite clear: it wants to completely abolish the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, but it has given those forces that possess them some time to react.

Next, we'll see whose methods are more sophisticated...

Before long, almost everyone had left, leaving only Chen Feng, Zhao Fangxu, and Liu Zhenguo.

Looking at Chen Feng, who was still sitting in the same seat, Zhao Fangxu smiled in surprise and spoke politely.

"What is it, Master Chen? Is there anything else you need me to do? Just say the word, and I will definitely do it for you."

Tangmen has always cooperated with Nadutong. In the early days of the company's establishment, Tangmen had to send people to deal with many troublesome experts.

Although they possess firearms, dispatching skilled individuals with supernatural abilities to carry out missions is highly beneficial to the situation in terms of both efficiency and impact.

In 1987, the hidden dangers of the Medicine Immortal Society erupted, and turmoil swept across a large area of ​​land. In the end, it was Chen Feng who took action and personally carried out the decapitation mission.

They killed the president and the four elders, along with other high-ranking figures, in one fell swoop, easily resolving the crisis.

In 1993, foreign supernatural beings invaded, intending to incite internal strife through assassination attempts. Ultimately, it was Chen Feng who stepped in to find and resolve the situation...

Such incidents were not uncommon, which is why Chen Feng held a very high position at Dudu Tong, and even Zhao Fangxu treated him with great respect.

It's fair to say that if Chen Feng is interested, then taking the position of company chairman wouldn't be out of the question.

At the same time, Tang Sect's actions granted the sect considerable privileges on the mainland, further enhancing its influence in the Shu region.

Chen Feng sipped his tea, glanced at Zhao Fangxu in front of him, and spoke calmly.

"Fatty Zhao, you called me before the meeting wanting my support. I took care of that for you. In return, shouldn't you do me a favor?"

It is only right to make sacrifices for the mainland.

But Chen Feng was unwilling to work for free simply because of lofty moral principles.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Fangxu did not show any surprise and spoke directly.

"Alright, Master Chen, just let me know. I'll do my best to make it happen."

"Yes, I remember the company is electing new directors. I feel that Tang Ming is a very good person and can take the position."

The board of directors is the decision-making body of the company, and even the chairman cannot directly veto the opinions of the board members.

The heads of the six regions, although they seem to have a lot of power, are more like employees of an organization, simply following the orders of the board of directors above them.

As can be seen from the plot of the anime, the board of directors wields considerable power, essentially having full authority over all affairs in the world of supernatural beings.

Now, this is the position that Chen Feng wants.

Tang Ming was the candidate recommended by the Tang Clan. He was quite capable, loyal to the Tang Clan, and excellent in his interpersonal skills. He was a rare talent.

He holds an important position in the company and is now running for a board seat.

If he wins the election, coupled with the many skilled members of the Tang Clan within the company, his power will reach a terrifying level, and it is likely that only the other directors working together can suppress him.

This is also an important reason why Chen Feng helped Zhao Fangxu. It would be wishful thinking to expect someone to help for no reason without any benefit in return.

Zhao Fangxu rubbed his forehead, looking slightly troubled. The shrewd man instantly understood Chen Feng's intention and spoke up to dissuade him.

"Director Chen, this matter is a bit difficult. As you know, the position of director requires appointment from higher-ups, and I cannot make the decision on my own. I will do my best to handle it for you, and I can guarantee that it will be done well."

This is just an old saying; it seems like you're confident you'll get it done, but when it will actually be done is anyone's guess.

It might take a long time, which is consistent with the usual practice of the company's senior management. They start to drag things out when they can't solve them, and they give you empty promises. It's not that they don't want to solve it, but that they will solve it slowly.

Chen Feng chuckled and drank the tea in his cup in one gulp.

"Alright, Fatty Zhao, stop with the nonsense. I've already spoken to the higher-ups, and they've agreed to it. If you don't believe me, you can call and ask them."

Seeing this, Zhao Fangxu sighed softly, knowing that he couldn't avoid this matter, and could only nod.

"Alright, Master Chen, don't worry about this. I'll get started as soon as I get back, and I'll definitely get it done within three days."

From any perspective, the matter was completely sealed off, and Zhao Fangxu had no choice but to comply.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Chen Feng breathed a sigh of relief and felt a sense of ease.

The Tang Clan's overseas branches are now developing rapidly, with outstanding disciples emerging one after another on the mainland, and with Tang Ming as a director, it can be said that as long as the Tang Clan does not commit treason, its lineage will never be broken.

All that's left is to train a few more skilled practitioners of Dan Shi, and then my duty will be completely fulfilled.

Given the current scale of Tang Sect's development, I have already done right by my teachers and seniors.

I can take care of my own trivial matters for the rest of the time, and then I can fully explore the mysteries of the Eight Extraordinary Skills.

According to Chen Feng's prediction, the Eight Extraordinary Techniques might hold a secret to the heavens, and the path to transcendence at the fourth level might lie within them.

But just as Chen Feng was about to leave, Liu Zhenguo, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

Even before the conversation began, Chen Feng had already sensed something unusual, as if something had left.

Now, it seems something else has come here.

Activating the All-Seeing Eye might allow for a clearer view, but it's not suitable in the current situation.

Liu Zhenguo's expression softened somewhat, and he spoke to Chen Feng in front of him.

"Master Chen, may I have a moment to spare? I have some matters I would like to discuss with you."

Seeing this, Chen Feng raised an eyebrow, carefully examined the strange Taoist priest in front of him, and nodded.

"What a coincidence! I also have some questions I'd like to ask you. Let's take this opportunity to discuss them. I highly admire the Taoist teachings of Quanzhen."

The Taoist priest before him, from both his methods and his level of cultivation, was a figure worthy of Chen Feng's attention in this world.

Zhao Fangxu seemed to have anticipated all of this. He exchanged a glance with Liu Zhenguo beside him and then nodded.

"Alright, in that case, I will take my leave without disturbing your conversation."

With Zhao Fangxu gone, only Chen Feng and Liu Zhenguo remained in the room.

An eerie silence fell over the room, and neither of them spoke for a moment.

Liu Zhenguo wasn't in a hurry. He picked up the kettle next to him, found two clean cups, filled them with water, and then put two tea leaves into them.

It is worth mentioning that the two tea leaves were as bright and clear as bamboo leaves and glass, unlike anything ordinary.

As soon as it was taken out, a fresh bamboo fragrance filled the entire room, lingering for a long time, bringing peace and tranquility.

"I've heard from Chairman Zhao that Master Chen enjoys drinking tea. I happen to be quite accomplished in the field of tea as well. In my seclusion, I inevitably have some leisure time and have created some things for my own amusement. Today, I'll let you taste them."

"The green bamboo leaves are specially processed using a Qi tool. The tea leaves must be picked within half an incense stick's time after they mature. After picking them, they will turn to ashes after an incense stick's time. It took a lot of effort to make a special trip so that Master Chen could taste this tea."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng was slightly taken aback. As far as he knew, the place where Liu Zhenguo was living in seclusion was at least a thousand miles away from the Tang Clan's location.

In such a short time, this guy managed to make a round trip and pick two portions of tea leaves along the way.

My mind wanders a thousand miles, returning only with flowers in hand.

This action instantly reminded Chen Feng of someone: Zhang Boduan, the founder of the Southern School of Golden Elixir.

The story of Zhang Boduan, a Taoist figure from the Northern Song Dynasty, and a Zen monk tells of how the two used their spiritual powers to travel together to Yangzhou to admire the magnolia flowers. On their return, Zhang Boduan picked flowers, while the Zen monk returned empty-handed.

Legend has it that Zhang Boduan cultivated both body and spirit through the "Golden Elixir Path," cultivating his Yang spirit and gathering and dispersing it into Qi, thus enabling him to bring back the Qionghua flower; while the Zen monk only cultivated the nature path, his Yin spirit being formless and unable to take things.

People often talk about the Southern School and the Northern School. The Southern School was founded by Zhang Boduan, while the Northern School was founded by Wang Chongyang.

The goals of cultivation in the Southern and Northern schools are largely the same; they share the same origin and lineage, but their methods of cultivation differ.

Later, they merged and were incorporated into the Quanzhen School. Since both emphasized the cultivation of body and mind, the dual cultivation of body and mind became a unique feature of the Quanzhen School.

The Quanzhen School is a broad term, and one of its main branches is the Longmen School, which Liu Zhenguo is currently in, founded by Qiu Chuji.

The name Zhang Boduan may be unfamiliar to some, but he had a title, Ziyang Zhenren, who was the master of Tongtian Valley of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms.

Those eight extraordinary skills might be related to this person.

Despite his swirling thoughts, Chen Feng's expression remained unchanged. Before Liu Zhenguo could even hand him the tea, he had already reached out his hand.

In an instant, the power of the Heavenly Hand was activated, and space was displaced.

The teacup filled with bamboo leaves instantly appeared in Chen Feng's hand. He gently inhaled the aroma of the tea, took a light sip, and the rich fragrance of bamboo leaves filled his mouth. At the same time, his mind instantly calmed down.

"Indeed, it's excellent tea. It seems your Quanzhen Sect has quite a few good things."

Even Chen Feng, now, dares not underestimate these great sects. Their ancestors all had immortals, and the techniques they passed down were all top-notch.

Seeing Chen Feng's move, Liu Zhenguo was surprised. This method was not like the Yang God taking things, but more like directly accessing space.

The moment after finishing his tea, Chen Feng waved his arm, and two teacups appeared out of thin air on the table.

A few golden tea leaves unfurled in the tea, swaying back and forth in the water, with some kind of magical runes flickering on them.

At the same time, wisps of golden steam rose up, resembling a dragon and phoenix, gently flowing above the tea.

"You're too kind, Master Liu. Since that's the case, please try my tea."

The moment he finished speaking, the power of space was activated again, and he appeared directly in front of Liu Zhenguo.

You think you can intimidate me with your skill of fetching tea from afar? You're not qualified. My methods are beyond your imagination.

Indeed, he didn't know how to make tea, but Chen Feng from other worlds did. Chen Feng from the Fox Demon world was also proficient in the art of tea and used Taoist magic to develop many unique teas.

I originally thought it was just a leisurely hobby, but I never expected it to come in handy today.

Looking at the tea that had appeared out of nowhere beside him, and the scene depicted on it, Liu Zhenguo fell into deep thought.

The tea itself is already quite magical, but the tea in front of me is even more magical, it seems to be something otherworldly.

What's even more amazing is that Liu Zhenguo didn't detect any Qi energy in it.

He picked up the tea, took a sip, and felt the aroma of the tea rush into his body. His mind even became a little clearer, and he gave a wry smile.

"Master Chen truly possesses extraordinary skills..."

Zhao Fangxu had previously told Liu Zhenguo that this vice-leader of the Tang Clan was the true face of the Tang Clan, possessing extraordinary skills, and there was almost nothing in the world that he couldn't solve.

Back then, he personally went to the island nation and, amidst layers of encirclement, killed the island's emperor. And decades later, his appearance remains unchanged, his charm undiminished...
