Outside the Tang Tomb, Tang Miaoxing took Lu Zhen through a small road and walked into the stone mountain.

The surrounding area is bare, with no green plants to be seen.

Large and small stone tablets are inserted diagonally around the road. At first glance, they look extremely chaotic, but they also seem to contain some indescribable rules, forming a special formation.

Each stone tablet has some strange curves drawn with thick red lines, like some kind of Xingqi diagram.

Tang Miaoxing noticed Lu Zhen's dull reaction: "You don't seem surprised? So you know what is painted on those stone tablets?"

"The figure is divided into three parts. The top one should refer to the upper Dantian, the spiral curve in the middle is the way of moving Qi in the middle Dantian, and the bottom is the lower Dantian, which is connected to the Qi in the upper Dantian." Lu Zhen guessed, "It should be someone

The Xingqi diagram of this kind of exercise may be elixir swallowing."

Tang Miaoxing nodded: "Yes, it is Danqi, and it is here... The dreams of countless people in the Tang Sect throughout the ages are here."

Thinking that the Qi of his five internal organs entered the upper Dantian, which actually connected the lower Dantian and the upper Dantian, Lu Zhen was moved in his heart and suddenly asked: "I once heard that the Zhuge family has a special skill called Samadhi True Fire, which is to bring the essence

The Three Treasures of Qi and God are ignited into a bundle of flames that can burn the soul, which is somewhat similar to the Tang Sect's Pill Eater."

Tang Miaoxing was a little surprised: "The Zhuge family's Samadhi True Fire has not had a successor for decades. Most people in the alien world probably don't know about the Zhuge family's secret skill, but you know about it, which makes me a little surprised."<

/p>

After a pause, he continued: "Alchemy and Samadhi True Fire have something in common. Both of them involve the three treasures of spirit, energy, and spirit, but their final directions are inconsistent. The final form of Samadhi True Fire can ignite the soul, but Pill Devouring

…I can’t describe it. If you are lucky enough to see it, you will know what it is.”

Lu Zhen asked again: "Alchemy and Samadhi True Fire both take the path of integrating essence, energy and spirit. Is it a coincidence, or is there some kind of connection?"

Tang Miaoxing answered casually: "Jing, Qi and Shen are the three most important treasures of the human body. After all, cultivating a method is to improve the body's Jing, Qi and Shen to make it different from ordinary people."

"The true fire of samadhi is ignited by the essence and spirit, so it has some special features, but the elixir is the combination of the essence and spirit and the Tang Sect's poisonous skills, and it goes in another direction."

The thoughtful Lu Zhen stopped talking.

Along the way, there are traces of the formation on both sides and under the feet.

Lu Zhen avoided a mechanism that triggered the formation and asked curiously: "How many formations are there in the back mountain of Tangmen?"

"There are nine formations from here to the Tang Gate Forbidden Area." Tang Miaoxing said, "The place we are at now is the seventh formation."

Lu Zhenxiang looked around: "I once heard that the company asked all major forces to demolish the institutions they built. Even the Lu family demolished the institutions in the village. Isn't the Tang Clan affected?"

"How could it not be affected? The Tang Sect can ignore the company in many places, but when it comes to the company's bottom line... no force has dared to blatantly violate it so far. Just like you, the Lu family, and so do I, the Tang Sect." Tang Miaoxing said, "

I was one of the people who negotiated with the company back then."

He pointed to the ground: "In fact, the large-scale institutions of Tang Sect have been dismantled for decades,"

"According to the company, all forces must abide by the non-individual large-scale organization control measures formulated by the company. Not only the Tang Sect, but also the factions or individuals of the organization are not allowed to build organizations privately."

"Involving automatic triggering, large-scale, hidden agencies are not allowed to be established privately, and the establishment of agencies must be declared and registered, made public, visualized, and exist in the form of technological inheritance."

"The Tang Sect is well-known in the alien world for its poisonous energy and mechanisms. I guess it won't be so simple." He casually stepped on a trigger device with his right foot.

The trigger sound of "click" sounded, but no mechanism was triggered.

Tang Miaoxing raised his head and glanced at the sky, and said slowly: "Back then, the company negotiated with my Tang Sect, and it took a lot of effort to convince Tang Sect to follow the company's regulations. Once Tang Sect took the lead, other small sects naturally agreed.

."

"However, rules are dead and people are alive. As long as you use your brain a little, there may not be no way to circumvent..."

Pass through the ninth formation and enter a huge cave.

Tang Miaoxing, who was leading the way, had a somewhat complicated expression on his face: "This is the Tang Tomb, the burial place of the Tang Sect's ancestors. It is also the Tang Sect's largest forbidden area, and you are the first outsider to enter the Tang Tomb..."

One man and one woman, two middle-aged people with dull expressions and wearing white loose practice clothes appeared in the empty passage in the cave.

Tang Miaoxing nodded slightly to the two of them and passed between them.

Lu Zhen followed Tang Miaoxing, walked between the two of them, and continued deep into the Tang Tomb.

After walking through the passage, the space in front suddenly expanded and turned into an astonishingly large circular cave.

In Lu Zhen's field of vision, the most conspicuous thing is the huge stone tablet on the innermost side of the cave with the picture of Dan Devouring Qi.

On the round stone in front of the stele is an unkempt old man in ragged clothes and sitting barefoot.

Xu Xin...the moment he saw the old man, this name appeared in Lu Zhen's mind.

The muscles are loose, seemingly ordinary, but it can put more pressure on him than Tang Miaoxing in front of him, that is Xu Xin, one of the thirty-six thieves!

On the walls around the cave are small dark caves.

Although no one was seen, Lu Zhen sensed that there was an obscure aura in each cave.

In this so-called forbidden area of ​​​​the Tang Sect, the masters Lu Zhen perceived had far exceeded all the masters he had come into contact with in the outer sect of the Tang Sect.

This is the foundation of Tang Sect!

Tang Miaoxing didn't know whether Lu Zhen recognized Xu Xin, and he had no intention of introducing Xu Xin to Lu Zhen.

Walking into the cave, he looked at the Xingqi diagram on the huge stone tablet for a long time, then turned to look at Lu Zhen: "I will give you the method of adjusting the conflict between the five Qi that you want... this..."

He pointed at Xu Xin: "He will supervise you. If I lose consciousness during this period, he will judge whether what you are doing is harmful to me. If he thinks you are harming me, the result will definitely exceed your expectations."

, I suggest you don’t try it.”

Xu Xin opened his eyes and nodded to Lu Zhen.

Tang Miaoxing continued: "To tell you the truth, although I am willing to make this deal with you, I am still wary of you... Where is your reputation, even if I go all out, I may not be your opponent, so I have to

Take all precautions."

Lu Zhen said indifferently: "I know the concerns of the Tang clan leader."

"To be honest, I'm really not at ease with you when you suddenly come here." Tang Miaoxing gestured around, "You may also feel that this is the place with the most experts in the entire Tang Sect and the most tightly defended place in the Tang Sect, so I

That’s why I chose this place.”

"Neither you nor any master in the alien world can sneak in here silently without being discovered, nor can it be possible to kill someone here and escape from the Tang Sect easily."

He turned to look at Lu Zhen: "If you tell me now that what you said was just a joke, then you can leave safely right away, but once the transaction starts, you will never have any room for regrets..."

Lu Zhen looked unmoved: "Tang Sect Leader has been wandering in front of the threshold of Alchemy for many years. What he lacks is the understanding of life and death. As long as this door is pushed open, the possibility of mastering Alchemy will naturally be greatly improved."<

/p>

"I will use special techniques to put the Tang Sect Leader into a state of immortality. He will always be on the edge of life and death until the Tang Sect Leader himself sees through the barrier of life and death, or has enough insights to wake up."

Tang Miaoxing and Xu Xin looked at each other.

Xu Xin nodded: "It sounds like that."

Tang Miaoxing looked at Lu Zhen and asked, "How long will it take for me to wake up?"

Lu Zhen shook his head: "I don't know, there is no concept of time in that state. Maybe he will wake up after a few minutes, or maybe he will wake up after a few years."

"Is it possible that I will never wake up?" Tang Miaoxing smiled, but there was no hesitation in his expression.

After adjusting his collar, he sat down cross-legged next to Xu Xin: "Let's get started. The person who monitors you will give you what you want."

Lu Zhen glanced at Xu Xin, walked behind Tang Miaoxing, and placed one palm on Xu Tang Miaoxin's head.

"Don't resist."

The blue Qi surged out from his palm, secretly entering Tang Miaoxing's upper Dantian, and then spread downward from the Upper Dantian to the middle Dantian and Lower Dantian.

There are many people here with mixed eyes, so if you want to use the Bright Soul Technique, you have to use it more secretly, so that others will not see the flaw at a glance.

……

Tang Miaoxing's expression became a little dazed.

He felt that his consciousness was gradually becoming erratic, as if he was being isolated from his body by a strange force, becoming an independent entity, losing the restraints of his body, and becoming lighter and lighter.

The Qi in his Dantian suddenly collapsed, causing his consciousness to drift away with the dissipated Qi...

He seemed to see a magnificent world, but before he could see clearly what was in front of him, all his vision fell into darkness.

The consciousness is floating and motionless, and the thoughts come and go, between existence and non-being...

With no time and no space, Tang Miaoxing didn't know how long he had been wandering in the darkness, or even how many times he had regained consciousness. For the first time, panic appeared in his consciousness.

As the head of the Tang Sect, both his Qi training and his mental cultivation have reached a certain peak level, but now his consciousness is experiencing irrational panic in this situation.

It has far exceeded his expectations.

As if imprisoned in a narrow environment of lightless absolute darkness, his soul is constantly transforming between life and death, leaving Tang Miaoxing's thoughts in a wandering and uncertain state.

Perhaps only a second passed, or perhaps countless years passed. Tang Miaoxing, who seemed to have been stuffed into a coffin and became a dead man, gradually forgot that he was Tang Miaoxing, and even forgot that he was still a thinking person.

All thoughts with light emotions began to become pale and indifferent, just like the eternal darkness he faced, leaving only a half-life and half-dead consciousness constantly drifting between life and death.

There should not be life here...

Blue Qi continuously poured into Tang Miaoxing's upper Dantian from Lu Zhen's palm, and his eyes flashed with magnificent light, as if the world made of Qi appeared directly in his eyes.

The thing sounds mysterious, but in fact Lu Zhen didn’t do anything too mysterious.

He just used the Bright Soul Technique to seal off Tang Miaoxing's five senses, and then used methods to dissipate the Qi in Tang Miaoxing's body, so that his consciousness could follow the dissipated Qi, and use Lu Zhen himself as the medium to come into contact with that magnificent world.

The wandering consciousness and wandering on the edge of life and death are just illusions created by him.
To be continued...
