Chapter 367 Dan Shi and the Gathering of All Parties

silence.

Deathly silence.

Those casual words seemed not to have come from Zhuge Qing's mouth, but rather from a demonic voice emanating from the depths of the netherworld, instantly draining all sound and warmth from the reception room.

The expressions of Tang Miaoxing, Zhang Wang, and Tang Qiushan, the three highest leaders of the Tang Clan, froze at this moment, forming three distinctly different sculptures.

Horror, bewilderment, and a chill that seeped into my bones.

"you?!"

Zhang Wang's anger, which had just subsided, was replaced by a deeper fear.

His eyes widened, the crimson fading, leaving only an incredulous paleness.

Tang Tomb... it's not only a forbidden area of the Tang Clan, but also the place where the greatest secret of their generation is buried.

Senior Brother Xu Xin, the man who should have died in the Jia Shen Rebellion, was hidden there by them, never seeing the light of day for decades.

This matter should be known to no one outside of them and a few inner disciples of the Tang Sect...

How did this young man know?
Zhang Wang's gaze swept back and forth across Zhuge Qing's calm face with suspicion and uncertainty, a chill running from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

He thought of the rumors about Zhuge Qing. Could it be that this young man had really inherited his ancestor's ability to see through the secrets of heaven and make infallible plans?

Tang Miaoxing also fell silent, her expression becoming quite complicated.

If everything Zhuge Qing had done before was an open scheme, pushing the Tang Clan to the brink of disaster, then these words were like an invisible, cold knife pressed directly against his heart.

"The future life is terrible..."

Finally, Tang Miaoxing sighed, looking at Zhuge Qing with an extremely complicated expression.

This young man is truly remarkable...

First, it ruthlessly exposes the Tang Clan's bloody wounds, laying bare the cruelty of reality.

Then they threw out the bait of "body-cultivation furnace," which was enough to overturn the entire world of supernatural beings' understanding and make them unable to refuse;
Finally, they casually revealed their ultimate secret, which they had kept hidden for decades, seizing their last lifeline.

This combination of a heavy blow and a sweet treat is a well-planned and strategic move.

They had no way out and no reason to refute it.

Tang Miaoxing slowly and solemnly bowed deeply to Zhuge Qing once again.

This time, it was no longer a test, but a genuine and heartfelt surrender.

"Our Tang Clan is willing to hand over all its inheritances and cooperate with the military... We'll leave that to Mr. Zhuge."

……

And so, the Tang Clan's centuries-old heritage was presented to Zhuge Qing in a way that no one had anticipated.

This naturally includes the supreme martial art that strikes fear into the hearts of countless extraordinary individuals—Dan Shi.

Zhuge Qing flipped through the rare handwritten copies, while Tang Miaoxing explained them in a low voice.

One important reason why he was so open about it was that even if this method were made public, outsiders would never be able to learn it.

The method of refining the pill is, in theory, ridiculously simple—to combine one's own essence, qi, and spirit into a pill.

But the devil is precisely in this simplicity.

"Disciples of the Tang Clan have been bathing in herbal soup and eating poisonous things since childhood, so their bodies are already far superior to those of ordinary people."

“Our Qi is inherently toxic. When essence, Qi and spirit are condensed into one, this toxicity will sublimate and become the foundation of Dan Shi. It is refined by life, so theoretically it can ignore any defense made of Qi.”

Tang Miaoxing explained that this was why they dared to display the Dan Shi Diagram outside.

Without the physique cultivated from childhood by Tang Sect disciples, simply learning this Qi circulation method would be a waste.

Moreover, the refining of the Pill Devourer is extremely dangerous. It involves refining the most poisonous pill in the world within one's own body. If one is not careful, the first person to become a sacrifice to this most potent poison in the world will be the user himself.

Zhuge Qing nodded slightly, understanding the key point, because his family's Samadhi True Fire was a similar technique.

The Body Cultivation Furnace can replicate the way Qi operates and can modify the physical body, but neither can conjure up the medicinal ingredients that have already been integrated into the blood and marrow of Tang Sect disciples out of thin air.

This is the result of time and tradition working together, and it cannot be easily replicated.

Although methods like Dan Shi and Poisonous Miasma cannot be mass-produced, the Tang Clan's other methods are invaluable to the army.

"Instant Strike" for close-quarters combat; "Five Treasures Protection" that greatly enhances physical function and resistance to poison;
And the "phantom miasma," which served as optical camouflage on the battlefield.

These three capabilities alone are enough to enable a special forces unit to achieve a qualitative leap in its combat capabilities.

Thus, with Zhuge Qing acting as a go-between, the military representatives and the Tang Clan quickly reached a cooperation agreement.

After all, although there are many methods in the world of supernatural beings, very few are applicable to the military. With the support of modern weapons, the value of methods such as the fire control of the Fire Virtue Sect, the golden light of Longhu Mountain, and thunder magic is not actually that high.

On the contrary, the Tang Clan's methods, though simple, are quite practical.

It is believed that soon, a special forces unit combining Tang Clan secret techniques with modern military technology will step onto the stage of history.

Having dealt with the toughest nut to crack, the Tang Clan, Zhao Fangxu immediately took the documents and headed to his next target.

This transformation, initiated by Zhuge Qing, requires him, the helmsman of the company, to implement it step by step.

Zhuge Qing, on the other hand, turned his gaze to a more distant place.

The World Conference of Extraordinary People, Nathan Island.

……

Time flies, and two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

On a crisp early autumn morning, a pure white private jet was quietly waiting on the tarmac of Beijing Capital International Airport.

Zhuge Qing, dressed casually, stood at the bottom of the gangway, watching a group of people approaching from a distance.

Zhang Chulan still had that carefree and nonchalant demeanor, but deep in his eyes, there was a hint of composure compared to two months ago.

In the past two months, he has witnessed firsthand the development of the cooperation between the Tang Clan and the military, and the first batch of "armored troops" transformed by the Body Refinement Furnace began to receive training from Tang Clan masters.

The world is changing much faster and more dramatically than he imagined.

Wang Ye yawned, looking like he hadn't woken up yet, and lazily followed behind.

Behind them are the company's top combat forces.

Xiao Zizai, a temporary worker with a friendly smile, but who sends chills down your spine;
And the taciturn, shadowy clarinet.

In addition, there are several calm and composed company experts.

"Everyone is here?"

Zhuge Qing glanced at his watch; the time was just right.

"Hey Qing, this is a bit too much."

"It's just a meeting, but it's being made to look like we're going to war."

Zhang Chulan leaned closer and whispered something.

"In a sense, this is war."

"However, the battlefield is not in neon lights, and the weapons are not guns and cannons."
