Under One Person: I, Jiaqian Jushi, work from nine to five

They couldn't understand what Tang Miaoxing was up to...

"Tang Miaoxing! Is Dan Shi really that important?" Zhang Wang frowned as he faced Tang Miaoxing's stubbornness.

"We both witnessed Dan Shi fail back then!"

"You fart!"

As soon as Zhang Wang finished speaking, Tang Miaoxing responded to him with these three words in an angry tone.

Chapter 309: A defender of the old era, does he have a path forward in the new era?

"After I became the sect leader, I immediately sent Xu Xiang from North China to examine Zhang Huaiyi's body. Although he died from a severe blow to the chest, the meridians in his lower abdomen were already showing signs of collapse..."

"The effects of the elixir he received are taking hold..."

"No matter what the Eight Extraordinary Techniques or the Qi Body Source Flow are, the myth of Dan Shi has not been shattered!"

Tang Miaoxing has her own pride.

Or rather... the Tang Clan has its own pride.

Although many people, even the Ten Elders, were obsessed with the legendary Eight Extraordinary Techniques and wanted to obtain them, the Tang Sect didn't care...

The Dan Shi (a type of medicinal substance) is their capital and the source of their confidence when they say this.

Once the Tang Clan appears, even a god cannot save you.

This statement is rumored to be the source of the Tang Clan's confidence.

...

Tang Miaoxing, a defender of the old order, knew that the new era offered no path for him to move forward...

Therefore, he left the reform of the Tang Clan to Xu Xin, who was more resourceful and less constrained, but was wholeheartedly devoted to the Tang Clan because of his guilt towards it.

And what about him...?

As a defender of the old order, he launched a final assault on his inner obsessions and demons.

Although this plan is radical, even risking the future of the entire Tang Sect... he has already made all the necessary arrangements as the sect leader.

After this night, the Tang Clan disciples gained real combat experience and defeat, and the rules of the Tang Clan that had existed for hundreds of years were broken as a result.

Even if he fails, the Tang Sect will have a bold enough and talented leader capable of supporting change...

In this new era, the Tang Clan doesn't need so many secrets... and tonight's farce is his way of cooperating with Xu Xin's ideological liberation of the Tang Clan.

Whether he succeeds or not this time, the Tang Clan will undergo some changes...

He had forced himself to make all the necessary preparations.

...

"Junior brother, didn't you ask me before what I wanted you to promise me?"

Tang Miaoxing spoke slowly and casually to Zhang Wang:

"Now I'm telling you, I need you to promise me that if I fail, you must accept this new sect leader, and look at him carefully, just as you looked at me before..."

After he finished speaking, it was as if he had put his mind at ease, with no more burdens in his heart.

"Senior brother!"

Zhang Wang patted Tang Miaoxing's shoulder in an attempt to stop him, but Tang broke free.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he sat cross-legged on the giant rock in the center, which symbolized his ancestors and was engraved with the Dan Shi diagram. He closed his eyes and began his final assault on Dan Shi.

All the Tang Clan members present paid their respects to the old sect leader, except for one handsome young man who stood in one place, seemingly distracted.

At this moment, Zhou Fengliu simply glanced at the time, indicating that his overtime work tonight was finally coming to an end.

He can complete his task and go back to rest.

This trip to the Tang Sect, entrusted by Zhao Fangxu, was just a formality for him, as he already knew the plot... a minor role.

In his understanding, Zhao Fangxu knew that the Tang Clan had some major plans behind the scenes recently, and Tang Miaoxing also knew the purpose of Zhao Fangxu's arrangement for him to come.

Both sides are smart people, so he can easily muddle along, making money without taking any responsibility.

Although the process was still somewhat bumpy, it is finally coming to an end now.

He had no intention of objecting to Tang Miaoxing's decision.

This is a source of pride for him as the leader of the Tang Clan. He expressed respect for the decision and even chose to cooperate in some aspects.

After all, Tang Miaoxing had a financial relationship with him, so there was nothing wrong with him choosing to go with the flow.

As Zhou Fengliu was pondering this, Tang Miaoxing, who was meditating, began circulating her Qi.

In an instant, the atmosphere around us became very strange, like the calm before a storm, making people shiver.

"The Qi has been circulated... now we can begin refining."

The inner disciple who had also cultivated the Dan Shi technique for many years looked increasingly solemn as he watched Tang Miaoxing begin to refine the Dan Shi.

Having cultivated for many years, he knew that the most dangerous step in Dan Shi was refining.

Refining pills requires not only advanced techniques and the ability to consume special poisons, but also a state of complete disregard for life and death.

If this state is not right, then one will become a victim of the most poisonous thing in the world.

Seeing through life and death—how easy is that for ordinary people...?

For many years, Tang Miaoxing has been stuck at the refining stage. Today, although he has untied all his mental knots and burdens and forced himself to fight with no way out, he still can't get over that hurdle.

Did it fail?

Tang Miaoxing had already sensed his defeat. He slowly opened his eyes, looked at everyone present, and murmured a few names.

"Tang Xin..."

"Zhang Wang."

"Qiu Shan... and everyone in the Tang Clan, the future of the Tang Clan rests on your shoulders..."

Hearing the sound.

The three elderly people present turned pale and remained silent.

All the inner disciples present knelt on the ground in unison, respectfully bidding farewell to the old sect leader.

"cough..."

Following Tao Tao's reminder, the outer disciples knelt on the ground...

this...

Seeing this, Zhang Chulan swallowed hard, sensing something was wrong.

"Um...Mr. Zhang, should we excuse ourselves for a moment?"

"Just watch...you all just stand here and watch! This is the sect leader's order!"

Zhang Wang said angrily.

...

At this moment, everyone was witnessing the moment when Tang Miaoxing's poison took effect, and Tang Miaoxing herself was panting heavily, her body enduring the pain of her meridians being broken.

The pain made him tremble, caused him to break out in a cold sweat, made his veins bulge, and made his whole body contort.

pain.

It hurts so much!

The more painful and near death one is, the more it will trigger the survival instinct.

"Help..."

Tang Miaoxing instinctively cried out for help to his fellow disciples, but everyone in the Tang Clan present knew that once the poison from the pill took hold, even a god couldn't save him.

They could only clench their fists and endure, endure... and endure some more.

Seeing that no one could help him, Tang Miaoxing's strong will to survive compelled him to seek help on his own and do everything he could to survive.

Until suddenly, his body began to circulate a set of Qi channels, and the path to survival seemed to emerge from the clouds like light breaking through the fog.

...

"Ok?"

now.

Zhou Fengliu, who was watching the Dan Shi attack without finding a solution, suddenly raised an eyebrow and sensed something strange.

Why do I feel a warm current and a slight tapping sensation in his meridians?

The warm current was gentle, and the tapping force felt like a massage, causing all the meridians in his body to burst with vitality.

If we were to digitize his body right now, it would probably look like this:

Meridian Strength +23

[Meridian resilience +15]

[Meridian Repair Ability +5]

Under this warm, pulsating current, Zhou Fengliu's meridians were at their maximum strength.

This is...
