Under One Person: The Seeker of the Dao in the Lü Family

Chapter 269 Tang Sect: Something's Not Right

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Xu Xin felt the familiar atmosphere. A deathly silence surrounded Lü Qian. This indifferent atmosphere, which contained endless killing intent, was indeed the Dan Shi of the Tang Sect.

That's precisely why it's the least likely!

For Tang Clan disciples to cultivate the Dan Shi technique, in addition to having considerable skill in the sect's [Five Treasures Body Protection Technique], they also need to take various medicines for a long time to regulate their bodies and accumulate toxins.

Finally, and most importantly, it requires having the ability to see through life and death.

Throughout the history of the Tang Clan, every disciple who has mastered the Dan Shi technique has undergone a long period of refinement and tempering, honing their physical and mental cultivation to its optimal state.

Only then are they qualified, or even dare to, attempt the perilous Dan Shi.

Even so, a hundred years ago, only two or three Tang Sect disciples in each generation mastered the Dan Shi technique. The rest, of course, failed in their attempts and died in agony.

The legend of Dan Shi is not only about never failing against external enemies, but also about the life-or-death secret technique for the Tang Clan disciples.

But now, someone has actually shattered the myth of Dan Shi right in front of the Tang Clan, from the outside in.

For the Tang Clan, this was even more bizarre and exciting than when Zhang Huaiyi was poisoned by the pill, yet he was still able to travel all over China.

After all, although the former delayed his death, he did not actually break the Dan Shi curse.

But at this very moment, Lu Qian, sitting in front of them, not only broke free from the Dan Shi technique, but also successfully mastered the Tang Clan's ultimate skill in a short time.

Faced with such an outcome, the members of the Tang Clan couldn't help but feel that their own lineage and their disciples were a joke!

The Dan Shi technique, which the Tang Sect practitioners might struggle to master even through rigorous self-cultivation and near-death experiences, was treated like a plaything to be manipulated at will by Lü Qian.

Then what about all the effort and energy that the Tang Clan has put into Dan Shi over the past thousands of years?

What about those disciples and followers who died in agony because they failed to master the Dan Shi technique?

When myths crumble, the faith that mortals relied on in myths naturally collapses as well.

The Trinity Gate of yesteryear was no more than this.

Upon seeing Lü Qian's radiant appearance, the Tang Clan disciples present were initially incredulous. Then, some disciples looked down at the ground with bitterness, while others looked up at the sky with a hint of madness.

But two others looked at Lü Qian calmly, their eyes radiating a cold killing intent.

"Hey, you two old fogies, what's wrong with you this time? You can't handle the game anymore?"

Lu Ci noticed that Tang Miaoxing and Xu Xin had suddenly fallen silent. Being an expert in silencing witnesses, he immediately understood what the two were up to and said with a sneer.

"Open your old eyes wide and look carefully! Is that your Tang Clan's Pill Devouring Technique?"

Before he finished speaking, the atmosphere that had been surrounding Lü Qian, which resembled the Dan Shi poison, suddenly changed. A vibrant energy re-emerged from the deathly silence, and five-colored light rose and fell intermittently.

Amidst the surging light, the golden elixir that had been hidden and invisible in Lü Qian's middle dantian reappeared, its radiance becoming even more rounded and radiant, and the vitality it contained becoming even more vigorous.

"No, the method and location of the pill's refining are both wrong, but that's what makes it even more wrong."

Amidst the vibrant light, Xu Xin and Tang Miaoxing also came to their senses. Their expressions suddenly turned serious, their brows furrowing so tightly they almost merged into one.

Lu Qian ignored their doubts. With half his mind focused on Dan Shi's true face, he didn't want to interrupt this miraculous technique at this moment.

"No wonder I always felt that the Tang Clan was a bit awkward; it turns out they're all family."

Within the Lingtai Cave Heaven, Lü Qian's primordial spirit introspected his own body. The originally clear and transparent Niwan Palace now reflected the changes all over his body, just like a mirror, with all his internal organs and meridians projected onto the mirror surface.

"The Southern School's method of alchemy took the path of proving the Dao and understanding one's true nature through killing, but unfortunately, later generations went astray."

Lu Qian's primordial spirit resided in the center of his spiritual platform, using the spiritual mirror reflecting his own image to govern all the changes in this small circulation.

"This is incorrect. It emphasizes the liver and kidneys while neglecting the heart and lungs, reverses the water and wood elements while overturning the fire and metal elements, and lacks the spleen and earth elements to harmonize them. Only when the five elements are in harmony can the cycle of life and death be completed as desired."

At this moment, the primordial spirit seemed to be a commander, and the five elements in the microcosmic orbit gradually became more and more harmonious under his guidance, and the generation and restraint of the five elements reached a perfect balance.

Outside, when the five elements were in perfect balance, the seemingly real yet illusory golden core in Lü Qian's middle dantian disappeared once more, and an atmosphere of annihilation similar to that of the Tang Sect's Dan Shi once again emanated.

The atmosphere that re-emerged was even more profound and pure in its desolation and death, contrasting sharply with the previous exuberant vitality.

If before it seemed as if all things were growing and creation was flourishing, then the desolation at this moment seems as if everything has been extinguished and nothingness has been obliterated.

"No, this is not my Tang Sect's Dan Shi, but this feeling surpasses my Tang Sect's Dan Shi."

Tang Miaoxing stepped forward and waved his sleeve at Lü Qian from a distance, invisibly stirring up an atmosphere. This atmosphere quietly merged into nothingness, and it was none other than the Dan Shi of the Tang Clan.

"Whoosh—"

Under the expectant gazes of the Tang Clan members, Dan Shi disappeared. No, rather than disappearing, it was more like being annihilated and devoured, as if Dan Shi's existence had been completely erased.

Within the Lingtai Cave, Lü Qian's primordial spirit also noticed the changes in the outside world, and he chuckled softly.

"Life and death are relative and interdependent, yin and yang cycle and perish, nature and life are forged and reversed, this is indeed the Southern School of Golden Elixir Method."

"boom!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a tremendous roar, as if the heavens and earth were being created, came from Lü Qian's body. Life and death alternated and evolved, and the five-colored radiance seemed to be melted into one, with a point of hazy spiritual light being born within it.

"Once chaos was formed, all things would naturally follow."

"The Southern School prioritizes destiny over nature, while the Northern School emphasizes using nature to govern destiny, for true nature opens the heavens!"

The primordial spirit looked at the gray light that was both black and white, and the golden sword that symbolized the true primordial spirit in its arms flew out of its hand, transforming into a dazzling golden light and slashing towards the light.

"Click!"

As the golden light swept past, that point of chaotic spiritual light split again, first transforming into two intertwined yin and yang energies. These two energies traveled along Lü Qian's meridians through his internal organs, limbs, and bones, and then gradually differentiated into the five elements and all things.

"Wonderful!"

Feeling the life force being continuously nourished within his body, Lü Qian opened his eyes with a sense of relief, pushed off the ground with both feet, and stood up nimbly. With each breath, the clear and turbid energies flowed even more smoothly.

"Why are you two looking at me like that, seniors?"

He smiled at the two Tang Clan members blocking his way, turned around to make way for the entrance to Lü Family Village, and solemnly said, "Please, senior Tang Clan members, go ahead to the banquet. Since it involves the inheritance of the sect, we must proceed discreetly."

"Of course, the Tang Clan's Pill Devouring Elixir is indeed quite good!"
