One person: Senior brother Zhang Zhiwei, the Celestial Master begged me to descend the mountain.

"Talk? You think you're worthy?"

Zhao Fangxu's voice came from the broken screen, filled with suppressed anger.

Although a corner of the screen was cut off, his gloomy face was still clearly visible.

As the head of Nadutong Company, he rarely loses his composure like he did today.

"Zhang Taichu, don't think that force can solve everything!"

Zhao Fangxu slammed his hand on the table, making the camera shake three times.

"That's primordial poison! A deadly trap that no one has been able to solve for thousands of years! A biological bomb that could turn an entire city into a ghost town if even a tiny leak occurs!"

"What gives you the right to talk? What do you have to offer?"

"Based on your boastful words? Or on your supposedly extraordinary cultivation?"

Zhao Fangxu pushed up his glasses, his eyes behind the lenses fixed on Zhang Taichu, his tone turning icy cold:

"This is science! This is medicine! It can't be explained by those few shabby scriptures you've studied!"

"Once the toxins get out of control, the consequences will be so dire that even if you dumped the entire Longhu Mountain, it wouldn't be enough to compensate for it!"

Faced with Zhao Fangxu's barrage of questions.

Zhang Taichu simply picked at his ears out of boredom, casually flicking away non-existent earwax from his fingertips.

He turned around, not even looking at the screen, but reached out and gently rubbed Chen Duo's head.

Chen Duo was looking down, her body trembling slightly.

Every word Zhao Fangxu said just now felt like a nail driven into her heart.

Biological bomb.

Dead end.

disaster.

These words were like mountains, pressing down on her and making it hard for her to breathe.

"Girl."

Zhang Taichu's fingers ran through Chen Duo's smooth, long hair, his voice languid and casual:

"Did you hear that? This fat old man said you're sick."

"They even said it was an incurable terminal illness."

Chen Duo bit her lip, gripping the hem of her skirt tightly with both hands, her knuckles turning white from the effort.

She slowly raised her head, and her eyes, which had been brightened by eating ice cream, were now shrouded in a layer of gloom.

"It's... a terminal illness."

Chen Duo's voice was very soft, carrying a hint of resigned despair:

"Uncle Liao... there's nothing he can do."

"They...are all afraid of me."

"Being afraid is the right thing to do."

Zhang Taichu smiled.

He laughed heartily, as if he had heard a funny joke.

"Because they are weak."

Zhang Taichu bent down, his gaze level with Chen Duo's, a wildly arrogant smile curving his lips:

"They can't even handle a tiny insect, and they have to kill someone to cover it up."

"What is this if not impotent rage?"

Done.

Zhang Taichu straightened up, turned around to look at the tense-looking temporary workers around him, and finally his gaze fell on the big screen.

"Fatty Zhao, since you're so afraid of the poison leaking out..."

Zhang Taichu raised his right hand, his five fingers spread, and golden Qi began to surge wildly within his palm:

"Then why don't I just lock it up?"

Before he could finish speaking...

boom!

Zhang Taichu's right hand suddenly pressed down on Chen Duo's crown.

This palm strike was as fast as lightning and as heavy as a thousand pounds.

There was no pre-launch animation or any warning.

"Ugh—!!!"

Chen Duo's body stiffened abruptly, and she let out a muffled groan of extreme pain.

That was the sound of a soul being torn apart.

In an instant.

A dazzling golden light cascaded down from Zhang Taichu's palm like a waterfall, instantly enveloping Chen Duo.

The golden light transformed into countless fine threads, which frantically drilled into Chen Duo's body through the Baihui acupoint on the top of her head.

"Ughh ...

Chen Duo finally couldn't hold back any longer and let out a heart-wrenching scream.

Her body began to convulse violently, and beneath her originally fair skin, countless purplish-black blood vessels bulged out like living earthworms, writhing wildly.

puff!puff!puff!

Blackish-red blood gushed from the corners of her eyes, nostrils, and ear canals.

That was the primal poison within the body sensing a deadly threat and launching its final, most frantic counterattack.

Rumbling--

Centered on Chen Duo, a visible purplish-black poisonous mist suddenly erupted.

Wherever it passed, the hard marble tiles were instantly corroded into black liquid, emitting a series of teeth-grinding hissing sounds.

"not good!!!"

Black Pipe, not far away, paled drastically as the alarm bells, born of animal instinct, rang wildly in his mind.

"Retreat! Poison gas has erupted!"

Almost instinctively, he staggered backward dozens of meters.

Wang Zhenqiu and Xiao Zizai, standing nearby, didn't dare to be careless either. They quickly distanced themselves from each other.

Only Old Meng.

Looking at the girl who was bleeding from all seven orifices and convulsing all over in the golden light, tears welled up in his eyes.

"Stop...stop!"

Old Meng tried to rush forward, but was blocked by an invisible black wall of energy.

It was the clarinet that stopped him.

"Are you crazy?!"

The clarinet gripped Lao Meng's arm tightly, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

"That's a full-blown outbreak of primal poison! Even a tiny bit and you're done for!"

"But she's in pain! She's screaming!"

Old Meng knelt on the ground, crying like a child:

"That's murder...he's killing someone!"

On the screen.

Zhao Fangxu watched this scene, his face ashen, his lips trembling.

"A madman...this guy is absolutely insane!"

"He's detonating the poison! He's dragging the entire city down with him!"

however.

Just when everyone thought disaster was about to strike.

"Get out here, you!"

Cotai Central.

Zhang Taichu's roar was like a thunderclap from a clear sky.

He suddenly lifted the hand that was pressing on Chen Duo's head upwards.

Om-! ! !

The purplish-black poisonous fog, which was spreading wildly outward, suddenly seemed to have encountered some natural enemy.

The golden Qi threads that had entered Chen Duo's body had now transformed into an impenetrable net.

They weaved, surrounded, and strangled Chen Duo's meridians.

It forcefully expelled the primordial poison that had been scattered throughout the limbs, bones, and internal organs.

sizzle-

A sound like boiling oil being poured onto snow filled the air.

The purplish-black lines that had bulged on Chen Duo's skin were fading at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Driven by the domineering golden CD player, they rushed down her shoulders and arms, frantically converging towards her right palm.

Chen Duo's screams gradually subsided.

Her body stopped convulsing, but she was breathing heavily, her sweat mixed with blood, soaking her brand-new white dress.

"Gather!"

Zhang Taichu's eyes narrowed, and his other hand shot out like lightning, grabbing Chen Duo's right wrist.

Then squeeze it hard.

puff!

A thick, almost asphalt-like purplish-black liquid was forcibly forced out of Chen Duo's body from her palm.

Once this liquid leaves the human body, it will immediately turn into toxic smoke and dissipate.

This is the original form of the Gu poison.

If you let it scatter, within a radius of ten miles, not even chickens or dogs will be left alive.

"Trying to run away?"

Zhang Taichu sneered.

Golden light shone brightly in his palm.

The golden light was no longer gentle; instead, it carried extremely terrifying high temperature and pressure, instantly enveloping the nascent venom.

Refine!

Since it's poison, let's refine it!

Since it's air, let's compress it!

sizzle-

Inside the golden sphere, purplish-black venom surged wildly, trying to break free of its cage.

However, under the suppression of Zhang Taichu's vast and boundless Qi, it could only be compressed, condensed, and reshaped little by little.

The cloud of poisonous fog, originally the size of a basketball, grew to the size of a fist in the blink of an eye.

Then there's the size of the egg.

At last……

It turned into a sphere the size of a glass bead.

on the square.

Zhang Taichu slowly released Chen Duo's hand.

Chen Duo collapsed limply onto the bench, her face covered in blood and looking utterly disheveled.

But her chest rose and fell steadily, and her originally pale face now had a healthy rosy glow.

The cold and dangerous aura that had always surrounded her had completely disappeared.

Instead, there is the vibrant vitality that belongs to normal people.

And in Zhang Taichu's hands.

He was holding a bead in his hand.

A crystal-clear bead, breathtakingly beautiful.

Its outer shell is a transparent crystal formed from high-density golden light mantra, and its hardness is comparable to that of diamond.

Inside the bead.

The originally ferocious and terrifying primal poison has now transformed into a purple nebula.

They flowed and swirled slowly inside the beads, emitting an eerie and captivating light.

Who would have thought.

This bead, only the size of a thumb, looks like a cheap trinket from a roadside stall.

It contains a terrifying toxin powerful enough to poison an entire city.

Zhang Taichu held the bead up to the sunlight and examined it.

A purple halo was cast on his face, making him look somewhat eerie.

"call……"

In the distance, Hei Guan sat down on the ground, looking as if he had been pulled out of the water.

He looked at the bead, his Adam's apple bobbing with difficulty.

"This is... the primal Gu poison?"

"He...crushed her into a ball?"

Wang Zhenqiu's eyes widened like saucers, and he didn't even notice the lollipop in his mouth had fallen to the ground and gotten covered in dust.

"This...is this magic?"

"Is this Taoist priest... a human or a ghost?"

Old Meng shakily got up from the ground. He looked at Chen Duo, who was lying on the bench breathing steadily, and felt the fresh scent in the air.

It is not poisonous.

There's none left.

That problem that plagued Liao Zhong his entire life, troubled the company for twenty years, and left countless top experts helpless.

In just a few short minutes.

This young Taoist priest completely resolved the matter in an almost brutal manner.

"Incredible skill..."

Xiao Zizai pushed up his glasses, a cold glint flashing on the lenses, his tone filled with deep awe:

"Turning the rotten into the miraculous—is this the Celestial Master's Mansion's method?"

Zhang Taichu ignored the horrified stares from those around him.

He took the beads, turned around, and walked to the broken screen.

He held the bead up to the camera, almost touching the lens.

"Hey, Fatty Zhao."

Zhang Taichu shook the bead in his hand, and the purple light traced dazzling trajectories on the screen:

"Is this what you mean by 'uncontrollable'?"

"This is the biological disaster you were talking about?"

On the other side of the screen.

Zhao Fangxu slumped in his chair, staring blankly at the purple bead dangling in front of him.

His mind went blank.

All the prepared arguments about science, data, and rules have now become a joke.

Facts speak louder than words.

In front of this Taoist priest, the so-called terminal illness and the so-called dead end were nothing.

It's just a toy in my hand.

"Now."

Zhang Taichu withdrew his hand, casually tossed the bead, caught it, and tossed it again.

Every movement made Zhao Fangxu on the other side of the screen jump with fear, afraid that his hand would slip and fall to the ground and break.

"This thing has been locked up by this humble Taoist priest."

"No one but me can solve this."

Is it still dangerous?

Zhang Taichu gave the camera a bright yet extremely wicked smile:

"Are we really going to kill someone for this beautiful bead?"
