Simultaneous travel: The group is about to be wiped out

Chapter 223 Taking Life Lightly, Indifference to Death

Faced with this compliment, Chen Feng chuckled and waved his hand.

"Alright, Master Liu, stop with the nonsense and tell me what you want to talk about. I'm in a hurry; I need to go back and teach my disciples after I finish this."

He didn't plan to waste any more time. While teaching the Tang Clan disciples how to use the Pill Devouring Technique, he prepared to collect all eight extraordinary skills as soon as possible.

Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, Liu Zhenguo no longer hesitated and reached out to adjust his glasses.

“Our Quanzhen School once had a very famous figure, whom you, Master Chen, must have heard of. That person was Master Wuzhen, the founder of the Southern School of Alchemy, or you could say Master Zishan, Zhang Boduan.”

Zhang Boduan was, of course, famous. He was the head of the Five Patriarchs of the Southern School and held an extraordinary position in the Quanzhen School. His series of theories had a great influence on later generations of practitioners.

This person also deserves a great deal of credit for the fact that the mainstream view of cultivating both body and mind has been passed down.

It's safe to say that almost every extraordinary person who cultivates their skills after birth knows him.

Chen Feng raised an eyebrow, signaling him to continue.

Liu Zhenguo didn't delay, a flicker of emotion flashing in his eyes, and continued to add.

"This ancestor left behind some things, which were accidentally obtained by others, who then comprehended some extraordinary things, which are now known as the Eight Extraordinary Skills."

This statement matched a previous guess, so Chen Feng didn't seem too surprised. He simply raised an eyebrow and continued sipping his tea.

"Well, so what does Master Liu want to talk to me about? Do you want me to help you abolish these Eight Extraordinary Techniques? You're overthinking it. I don't have the mind or the time to help you."

If it weren't for the deal he made with Fatty Zhao, he wouldn't even have attended today's meeting.

The foundation of past cooperation has ensured that the Tang Clan has always been worry-free, and with the added protection of foreign Tang Clan members, there are now far fewer things to worry about.

Unexpectedly, Liu Zhenguo shook his head, his expression as calm as ever.

"I'm sorry, Sect Leader Chen, I think you've misunderstood me. My purpose in entering the mortal world is to resolve the chaos caused by the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, but I don't need your help."

"I just received some information before, and combined with my own abilities, I've figured out a lot. I suppose you, Master Chen, also possess the Eight Extraordinary Techniques? Or to be more precise, your goal is to collect the Eight Extraordinary Techniques."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng paused, his hand holding the teacup still for a moment, before resuming his movements, chuckling softly, and looking at Liu Zhenguo in front of him.

"So what if it is, and so what if it isn't?"

The Eight Extraordinary Skills may indeed bring a lot of trouble, but at least no fool would dare to cause trouble for themselves.

The events of the past few decades have made many people realize that their claim that their strength as the deputy head of the Tang Clan is no less than that of a peerless master is not an exaggeration.

Moreover, the Tang Clan is also most skilled at killing, and Zhang Huaiyi is the only person in the past few decades who has dared to come here to cause trouble.

Faced with Chen Feng's strong presence, Liu Zhenguo didn't say much, only sighed.

"Sect Leader Chen, I'm only here to say a few words to you. The Eight Extraordinary Techniques are indeed powerful, and it's not impossible to become an immortal after collecting them all."

"However, everything has a price tag attached. Sudden and powerful strength comes at a cost. I hope you will think about this carefully."

Many Taoists are like this, they like to say things that are hard to understand.

Liu Zhenguo's meaning was also very simple: the Eight Extraordinary Skills were not so simple. Although they were powerful, they also had serious internal problems.

Chen Feng didn't say much about any of this, he just nodded and drank the green tea in his cup in one gulp.

"Alright, Master Liu, I understand what you have to say. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."

After saying that, he got up and left.

Liu Zhenguo sat in his original seat, staring silently at the spot left by Chen Feng.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room became somewhat eerie.

I don't know how much time passed before the door was opened.

Chairman Zhao Fangxu walked in and looked at Liu Zhenguo's condition, a slight look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He had a close relationship with this Taoist priest and knew him well; this was the first time he had ever seen such an expression on the other person's face.

"Master Liu, how did it go? Did the conversation go well?"

These words brought Liu Zhenguo, who had been deep in thought, back to his senses.

"It's not going well. This Master Chen is not only exceptionally capable, but he also has a personality that refuses to suffer a loss. He's really difficult to deal with. As expected, Chairman Zhao, you were right. He is indeed unfathomable..."

Zhao Fangxu nodded, then gave a wry smile, as if he had thought of something.

"Moreover, this sect leader's power and status are even above mine. Even I, as the chairman of the company, cannot test this Tang Sect without reason."

…………

Three days later, the Tang Clan.

On the mountain, in an open area.

Chen Feng stood there, seemingly lost in thought.

The next moment, Zhang Wang walked over with three Tang Clan disciples.

"Senior brother, these are three outstanding individuals selected from within the sect. We'll have to rely on you from now on, so please put in some extra effort."

As mentioned before, in order to prevent the Dan Shi lineage from being interrupted, Chen Feng decided to personally select disciples with good character and teach them personally.

The original plan was to have one disciple each from the inner and outer sects, with Tao Tao already confirmed as the outer sect disciple.

But considering Ma Long's character, Chen Feng didn't want to waste this promising talent, so he simply added him to the list as well.

As for the inner disciples, there was one named Tang Mingshan, who was also of excellent character and had great talent.

It must be mentioned that in recent years, the talent and temperament of outer disciples have surpassed those of inner disciples.

For decades, inner disciples have been striving to inherit the Dan Shi technique, but with very few successes.

Perhaps that's just how the world is; the more you want something, the harder it is to get it.

As Zhang Wang waved his hand, the three disciples in front of him immediately bowed and addressed him as their sect leader.

Chen Feng glanced at the three people in front of him, nodded, and said, "I suppose you three are curious about why I brought you here. It's actually very simple; it's for that thing."

The moment he finished speaking, he pointed to a building behind him, which had a strange diagram of Qi circulation carved on it.

"Tang Clan's ultimate technique, Dan Shi."

"Indeed, I believe that with your talent and time, you disciples may be able to comprehend Dan Shi. However, Yang Lie and I are not willing to wait any longer. We don't know if we will be able to wait for a new successor to Dan Shi to appear." "Now, I have a question for you and want to consult your opinions. I suppose you know the dangers of inheriting Dan Shi. Are you willing to follow me to learn and inherit Dan Shi?"

Faced with Chen Feng's question, Ma Long's usually calm face revealed a slight smile.

"I've wanted to try Dan Shi for a long time, and now that I have this opportunity, I certainly won't give it up."

Tang Mingshan, an inner disciple, nodded firmly: "Inheriting the Dan Shi technique is the wish of every Tang Sect disciple."

Compared to the two men's conversation, Tao Tao seemed quite casual, as if she hadn't woken up properly. She rubbed her eyes, yawned, and spoke weakly.

"it is good."

Seeing that none of the three had backed down, Chen Feng nodded in satisfaction.

"Since that's the case, then I won't say anything more. I'll just tell you about this pill-devouring technique."

"Most of the other sects' unique skills are very easy to learn, but become more and more difficult to master as you progress. However, the Tang Sect's Dan Shi is different. The amazing or perhaps unethical thing about this skill is that as long as you get started, you have learned it. But getting started is extremely difficult."

"The method of circulating qi, the foundation of the body, and the use of external medicine to change the body's constitution, the most difficult and most important thing is the mindset of seeing through life and death. Once you start to master the Dan Shi and push open that door, then there is absolutely no possibility of anything else. You either master it or die there."

Although the three had heard of this unique skill before, this was the first time they had learned about it in such detail.

Ma Long raised his head, a hint of doubt in his eyes, and asked curiously, "See through life and death? Then how do you determine if you've reached the standard?"

Faced with this question, Chen Feng chuckled lightly, but his tone became more serious.

"That's right, that's the biggest problem. No one knows whether the standard has been met. Only when we face it can we test it. We'll use a human as a furnace to refine the most poisonous substance in the world, Dan Shi."

Taking life and death lightly doesn't mean being recklessly fearless of death, nor does it come from the mindset developed through killing countless people.

It must be a state of complete disregard for life.

After saying this, Chen Feng carefully observed the changes in the expressions of the three men, and they all seemed quite good.

Tang Mingshan's determination remained unchanged, while Ma Long's eyes showed a hint of interest. As for Tao Tao, her expression remained the same, still one of complete indifference.

With a casual wave of his hand, Chen Feng flung out three pieces of paper that landed in front of the three people. The papers floated, completely unaffected by gravity.

"This is a technique that can be beneficial for your self-cultivation. You can practice it in the future."

With his abilities and knowledge from various worlds, developing such a technique would be relatively easy for him.

However, due to special reasons, it is still not applicable to everyone, and the exercise method can only be modified according to the individual's constitution.

Over the past three days, Chen Feng has spent some time specifically researching this technique.

The three of them were somewhat surprised to see the three pieces of paper floating in front of them.

Malone looked around, touched his chin, and thought the technique of levitating paper was truly amazing. It wasn't telekinesis, but more like an advanced application of Qi.

This method far surpasses that of ordinary superhumans.

“Since ancient times, the dual cultivation of body and mind has been the mainstream of cultivation for extraordinary people. Body and mind are generally cultivated to strengthen the body, while the cultivation of mind varies from person to person, such as the mainstream Taoist techniques of severing the three corpses and releasing the Yang spirit.”

"Our Tang Clan's Dan Shi inheritance is somewhat similar to this. I can't say that it can help you master Dan Shi 100% by improving your cultivation, but it can at least help you to some extent."

The great path of the world has countless different routes.

On the path of sexual cultivation, each school has its own unique approach.

Looking at the contents of the paper and listening to Chen Feng's words, Tao Tao raised her head, a hint of doubt showing in her big eyes.

"By the way, Sect Leader, I've heard my grandfather mention the Three Corpses Severing and the Yang Spirit Awakening before, but do such masters truly exist?"

Since she was little, her grandfather had instilled some knowledge about the world of supernatural beings in her, but due to the limitations of her own strength, she did not understand the more profound levels. Now she could take this opportunity to ask him about it properly.

After a moment's thought, Chen Feng answered the little girl's question.

"Yes, I can tell you definitively that such masters do exist. Not to mention the legendary figures, the current leading sects of Taoism, the Celestial Master's Mansion and the Quanzhen School, have their own Celestial Master Zhang Zhiwei who may have reached the level of severing the three corpses, but for some reason he has not taken that step."

"In addition, there are some old guys in Quanzhen who are living in seclusion. Some of them may have truly reached the realm of Yang Shen. There is also one you may not be familiar with, Liu Zhenguo, who recently emerged. He traveled thousands of miles in his spirit and returned after picking flowers. He is probably close to achieving that as well."

Remember in the story, the Corpse Demon Tu Junfang lured out Zhang Zhiwei's three corpses, but this guy just cut them off directly.

Ma Long was taken aback, and said with great surprise, "Traveling thousands of miles in spirit and returning with flowers, wouldn't such a person be close to an immortal?"

"If one truly reaches the state of manifesting the Yang Spirit, then at least one's sexual cultivation is already quite advanced. The remaining task is simply to deal with the physical body, which is probably truly..."

Chen Feng offered his opinion: immortals might indeed exist, such as the Purple Sun Immortal Zhang Boduan.

But he wasn't quite sure if there were any people who could become immortals, nor was he sure what level those legendary immortals were at.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Feng carefully explained the other matters before leading the three to Tang Tomb to begin their preparations for the Pill Devouring cultivation.

…………

Cold comes and summer comes, spring passes and autumn comes.

In the blink of an eye, five years have passed.

The world of supernatural beings has been quite uneventful for the past five years, with not many major events occurring. However, the undercurrents surrounding the Eight Extraordinary Techniques have never ceased.

Since the company made it clear that it would completely end the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, the Wang family and the Feng family, who clearly possessed the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, have also made moves in secret.

The emerging power, Tianxia Hui, gradually developed due to Feng Zhenghao's position among the Ten Elders, attracting a large number of extraordinary individuals to join it, and its power was even comparable to that of the old-school forces.

Inside the Tang Tomb, Chen Feng, who was instructing three disciples, seemed to sense something and stood up to go outside.

A man in black had been waiting outside for some time. Upon seeing Chen Feng arrive, he handed him the letter.

"Chief, according to reliable intelligence, a person codenamed Seventeen has indeed appeared on Nathan Island, and his physique is the same as you described before."

Chen Feng nodded, carefully glanced at the letter, and after confirming that it was correct, issued the order.

"Alright, I understand. Get the boat ready; I'm heading to Nathan Island."

Nathan Island is inhabited by aliens who have nowhere else to go, and whose identities have long been erased.

Chen Feng's purpose in going there was to obtain one of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, the Six Treasures Immortal Thief, from Ruan Feng.

In these five years, he wasn't idle. He went to Wudang and quietly used the Double-Handed Technique to take some of Wang Ye's memories, and obtained the Feng Hou Qi Men technique.

At the same time, they sent someone to find Ma Xianhong, who also obtained the Divine Hundred Refinements. Now, only this last skill remains to complete the collection of the Eight Extraordinary Skills...
