From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Instead, the smiling tiger lost his "past" and was rejected by heaven and earth.

All the soldiers who returned alive from the Ghost Realm with Smiling Tiger died in accidents. It was only because Smiling Tiger had been hiding at home, making the edges of his chairs rounded, and avoiding fish and shrimp when he ate, that he survived to this day.

But given the current urgent situation, he had no choice but to start planning for the future.

"Speaking of which, Brother Jiang, the person who hired the Tang Clan to assassinate you should be that Chameleon."

Lu Jin brought up the matter, "Last night, while I was doing my part to uphold justice, I ran into him by chance. I scared him a bit and got the details out of him. It's because Smiling Tiger wanted to escape from Yuhang, so we gave him more power, but he still thinks we are an uncertain factor."

"Let's not talk about that, Lu Jin. You've changed so much since you were that well-behaved kid," Jiang Liu teased Lu Jin.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jin blushed, but also corrected him seriously, "Brother Jiang, don't talk nonsense. That was done by 'Bai Jiao,' what does it have to do with me, Lu Jin?"

"Ha ha!"

Jiang Liu laughed twice.

At this moment, Lu Huizhong brought out the mushrooms: Mushroom Single, Mushroom Lonely, Mushroom Alone for Life, and Mushroom Seeking Defeat. She looked at Jiang Liu and saw that he was as if nothing had happened. Her heart sank and she thought to herself: He really is immune to Qi poison.

"Xiao Lu made his move, but it seems he failed. However, Jiang Liu doesn't seem to have noticed anything?" Tang Jian said, picking up his teacup, taking a sip, and suddenly paused.

"what happened?"

Seeing him suddenly freeze in shock, Gao Yingcai asked in confusion, "Is the tea too hot?"

"No, I'm poisoned."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Jian immediately took out a white medicine from his waist, poured out a pill, swallowed it, and only then did he come to his senses.

"Is this the shop?" Tang An's eyes were unfriendly.

"It was Xiao Lu's poison."

Tang Jian examined the cup in his hand, his face expressionless.

As a disciple of the Tang Clan, he knows all the Tang Clan's techniques except for Dan Shi, but his greatest skill is Qi Poison. He has even cultivated to the point where he can transform Qi Poison into form, and is known as "Qing Bai Ying". When he goes all out, he can release a large amount of Qi Poison in the form of bamboo leaf green around his body.

Therefore, he kept records of the Qi poison cultivated by the other members of his sect.

He's sure!

The poison on the cup originated from Lu Huizhong!

The disciples of the Tang Clan are all skilled in using poisons and can detoxify Qi poisons. However, the cup also contains medicinal poisons, which cannot be detoxified by Qi alone. Even the disciples of the Tang Clan must follow the principle of mutual generation and restraint and use pills made from herbs to detoxify the medicinal poisons.

The Tang Clan practices poison, but apart from the Dan Shi cultivation method, all other applications of poison and Qi poison are external, with none used for internal cultivation of life force.

# Chapter 433 Desiring to Subdue the Tang Clan

“Xiao Lu would never poison you, and she hasn’t come here since we came in.”

Tang Bingwen's eyes narrowed as he looked at Jiang Liu, who was eating a mushroom and seeking victory. He said in a deep voice, "He has already discovered us, and right under Xiao Lu's and our noses, he has switched his cup with Xiao Jian's cup!"

Reversing the eight directions doesn't have that kind of ability to be done without anyone noticing.

trick?

Or is it a method of displacement or transformation?

There aren't many ways to do this, but to do it right in front of them and without them noticing is truly remarkable.

This person is extremely terrifying!

"We don't know the specifics of his methods, but we can be sure that his senses are extremely sharp. He not only noticed Xiao Lu's movements but also realized our identities." Tang Jiaren took off his hood and then pulled off the human skin mask on his face, revealing his true appearance.

Because Jiang Liu had met Tang Jiaren, the latter wore a human skin mask to disguise his identity after entering the city.

He just didn't expect that Jiang Liu would still discover them.

In fact.

At first, Jiang Liu didn't notice Tang Jiaren.

People come and go on Cultural Street every day, and there are unfamiliar faces everywhere. He doesn't have that much free time to investigate other people's secrets and backgrounds one by one.

As long as it's not a member of the Quanxing Demon Clan, it's fine.

But the fact that Lu Huizhong poisoned the teacup in front of him—

He simply couldn't turn a blind eye.

To ordinary people, and even most extraordinary people, Lu Huizhong's act of applying poison revealed almost no trace of Qi, but to Jiang Liu, this behavior was clearly abnormal.

Even Lu Jin noticed it.

However, seeing that Jiang Liu hadn't revealed the truth, the latter didn't pay much attention to it.

After all, if it were just a minor trick like poisoning, Jiang Liu wouldn't need to put in much effort; the exquisite inner core of the relic within his body would be enough to take effect!

However, Jiang Liu did not do that. After confirming Lu Huizhong's identity as an assassin, he instantly launched a mental scan to confirm the identities of Tang Bingwen, Tang Jiaren, and others as Tang Clan disciples. Then, using the power of the Dharma Image Seal to manipulate the universe, he silently switched his teacup with one of them.

Although he is not afraid of poison, he does not have the habit of drinking poison.

"go!"

Without saying a word, Tang Bingwen got up and left.

Tang Jiaren and the others hurriedly followed.

Only Lu Huizhong remained, as she was now a waitress at Liu's Hot Pot Restaurant.

Who were those people just now?

Lu Jin felt that Tang Jiaren's face looked familiar. "A Tang Clan assassin?"

"uh-huh."

Jiang Liu grabbed a skewer of shiitake mushrooms, bit off a mushroom coated in sauce, and said, "I didn't expect they really didn't give up."

"After all, Brother Jiang, you broke their Dan Shi."

Lu Jin smiled, picked up a "Gu Gu Dan Dan" skewer, and took a bite. "But even though they can't hurt you, they're still annoying, aren't they?"

The Tang Sect's emphasis on Dan Shi is no different from the San Yi Sect's high hopes and admiration for the third level of Reverse Life!

With the Dan Shi technique broken, it's equivalent to the Reverse Life Triple Realm being unable to reach the Heavenly Realm. Therefore, for the Tang Clan disciples, assassinating Jiang Liu is no longer a simple task, but also a way to vindicate the Tang Clan's unique skills!

"It's alright, I'm best at solving problems."

Jiang Liu didn't take it to heart. After finishing the "Gu Gu Dan Dan" (a type of dumpling), he picked up the "Gu Ku Ling Ding" (another type of dumpling) with his chopsticks. It was a fist-sized dumpling with a meat filling of oyster mushrooms, potatoes, and egg. He savored it carefully, looking quite pleased. "Although the 'lion' I want to provoke isn't from the Tang Clan, it doesn't matter."

"Brother Jiang, are you planning to capture Meng Huo seven times?" Lu Jin asked curiously.

"Even if they could, it wouldn't subdue them. As assassins, their philosophy is to overcome the strong with the weak. They won't hold back once they've been favored. Didn't the current leader of the Tang Clan kill a certain expert who spared him three times?"

Jiang Liu countered, "Did your senior sister advise me to just kill Tang Jiaren and Li Ding back then?"

"But you didn't make a move. Instead, you gave the Tang Clan two opportunities to assassinate you, and even said you wouldn't hold back the second time... Why?"

Lu Jin had naturally heard about this from Chengzhen, and was quite puzzled.

Since it is known that Tang Clan assassins will not give up just because their target has let them go, why give them a second chance?

"To win them over."

Jiang Liu laughed.

Lu Jin: "???"

Knowing full well that letting the Tang Clan members go wouldn't subdue them, they still chose to "subdue" them—

Rise to the challenge?

"I never said I would subdue them by letting them go."

Given the code of conduct of the Tang Clan, it is impossible for them to abandon the assassination attempt just because the target has done them a favor.

but!

Compared to other sects, the Tang Sect is actually a sect that is more adaptable to the changing times!

Perhaps because all of their disciples are "assassination majors," their bottom line is lower than that of ordinary prestigious sects, and their morality is more flexible. Furthermore, they do not choose to kill because they enjoy killing, but because there is a demand for assassins and killers in the world, and they choose their targets simply to make a living!

In theory, if there were no place for assassins and killers to use their skills, the Tang Clan would try its best to transform itself. For example, the Tang Clan in the 21st century opened a martial arts school, and the older generation within the Tang Clan is constantly trying to change its internal system.

Tang Miaoxing, for example, should have been a stubborn old man, but he used Zhang Chulan and others to reveal the process of inheriting the Dan Shi technique to all the disciples of the Tang Sect. His only obsession was to cultivate the Dan Shi technique.

Dan Shi—

It is the pursuit and persistence of the Tang Clan disciples, but if someone can break the myth of Dan Shi and this person cannot be killed by the Tang Clan, then no matter how unwilling the Tang Clan disciples are, they must be forced to change themselves.

If you refuse to change, there will only be one outcome.

To die, or to be eliminated.

"So, Brother Jiang, you're going to subdue the Tang Clan?" Lu Jin became interested. "I never dared to dream of one person crushing an entire sect."

"Times are changing, technology is developing, and cultivation must also develop. If you're still stuck in the past, you'll get beaten up!" Jiang Liu chuckled, and with a flick of his finger, a transparent object the size of a fingernail, resembling a bubble, slowly appeared.

"This is?"

Lu Jin could see the bubbles, but could not sense any trace of Qi within them. They seemed to have form but no substance, yet also seemed to be integrated with the entire world and nature.

"Do you remember the principle of Dan Shi cultivation that I told you about from Tang Jiaren? Treat the Qi poison as the mind monkey, send it into the human body to be refined in the cauldron of the universe, and when it is successful, it is Dan Shi."

Jiang Liu gently tapped the "bubble" on his fingertip and said leisurely, "But if you want to form a Golden Core, how can you just refine the Mind Monkey?"

It must possess all five elements!

This tangible yet intangible Qi pill was refined by me according to the cultivation principles of Dan Shi. It is non-toxic and can even help to regulate one's own chaotic Qi!

Besides, this method can also be used to further refine the exquisite inner core of the relic within my abdomen, and to fuse the essence of the sun and moon, making it even more wondrous.

After saying that, Jiang Liu gently tapped the Qi Pill, which was tangible but intangible, and it disappeared, actually being sent into Lu Jin's chest.

In an instant.

The energy within Lu Jin's body was circulating autonomously, making him feel completely comfortable...
