One person: Lu Jin, do I look like your master?

Liao Zhong continued his report:

"After he saved me, he asked Chen Duo for her wishes, and then he put his hand on Chen Duo's head for a very short time."

The primordial Gu that had plagued Chen Duo's body for over a decade and was considered incurable was completely eradicated!

Chen Duo is now no different from an ordinary superhuman who has just awakened her Qi sense; she poses no danger whatsoever.

He paused and added:

"After doing all this, the young man left."

All I got was his name, Wang Xuan.

As for the others, their origins and purposes were unknown. But he certainly did not show any malice.

More like a reclusive master who just happened to be passing by and happened to have the ability to meddle in someone else's business.

After the report was finished, there was silence on the other end of the phone, as the caller awaited the board's response.

The boardroom fell into a deathly silence.

Several directors, including the experienced and prudent Zhao Fangxu, showed expressions of extreme shock and disbelief.

Healing the primal Gu that even the company couldn't handle with his bare hands? Instantly neutralizing it? A complete stranger named Wang Xuan?

Each and every one of these pieces of information is enough to cause a huge uproar in the world of supernatural beings!

After a long silence, Zhao Fangxu finally spoke, his voice unusually grave:

"Liao Zhong, are you sure... every word you've said is true?"

Chapter 27 The matter is resolved

"Chairman Zhao, I, Liao Zhong, guarantee with my integrity and position that every word I just said is true and there is not a single falsehood!"

Liao Zhong's resolute and extremely serious voice echoed clearly through the microphone in the silent boardroom.

There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone.

The directors exchanged glances, their initial anxiety and impatience long gone, replaced by profound solemnity and a hint of barely concealed shock.

Can heal the primitive Gu poison that even the company's top biological department and medical team couldn't handle with bare hands in an instant?

This is beyond their conventional understanding of "supernatural abilities"! It's practically a "miracle"!

That young man named Wang Xuan, his abilities and background are probably even more unfathomable than they imagined!

After a long while, Zhao Fangxu was the first to recover from his shock. He took a deep breath, his fingers lightly tapping on the smooth tabletop, and issued the decisive command:

His voice was steady, carrying an unquestionable tone.

"Since the other party intervened to save Liao Zhong and eliminate Chen Duo's hidden danger, it at least shows that this person is not a malicious enemy, and may even have basic goodwill towards the company."

When dealing with such individuals, it is advisable to primarily observe and cautiously engage with them before clarifying their stance and objectives.

He glanced around at the other directors, and seeing that no one objected, he continued:

"Pass down the notice to all departments and major regions to keep an eye out for this young man named 'Wang Xuan,' characterized by his white Taoist robe and outstanding demeanor."

But remember, this is merely for observation and information gathering. Never provoke or offend anyone unless absolutely necessary! All contact must be reported to headquarters for approval!

Zhao Fangxu's decision-making is mature and pragmatic.

An entity possessing such incredible abilities is both dangerous and valuable beyond measure.

Before figuring out the details, keeping your distance and avoiding conflict is the wisest choice.

Acting rashly could bring unforeseen trouble to the company.

"Well...Chairman Zhao, fellow directors, regarding Chen Duo..."

Liao Zhong's voice came through the microphone again, tinged with a mixture of cautious probing and anticipation. This was the question he cared about most.

Zhao Fangxu adjusted his glasses, his tone softening somewhat:

"Chen Duo's situation... now that the biggest hidden danger in her body has been eliminated, the nature of the matter is completely different."

Liao Zhong, tomorrow morning, you personally take Chen Duo to the bunker and have Lao Zhang and the others give her a comprehensive and detailed examination using the most advanced equipment.

The key is to confirm whether the original Gu poison has truly been completely eliminated, and what its impact on her bodily functions is.

He paused for a moment, then gave his final instructions:

"If the test results are indeed as you say, with no residual risks or follow-up problems... then the subsequent resettlement of Chen Duo will be handled by your South China region."

The headquarters' decision not to interfere too much can be seen as a form of compensation for what she suffered in the past.

You can submit a related report later.

Zhao Fangxu's words imply that the company's senior management tacitly acknowledged Chen Duo's "freedom".

The reason why Chen Duo was subjected to such strict supervision was because of the extremely unstable and highly dangerous primordial Gu in her body.

Now that this biggest problem has been eliminated, and Chen Duo herself was a victim, the company naturally has no need to hold onto it any longer.

They were happy to do him a favor and appease Liao Zhong, the highly decorated regional leader.

"Yes! Thank you, Chairman Zhao! Thank you, fellow directors!"

Liao Zhong's voice instantly filled with barely suppressed excitement and joy.

The heaviest weight on his heart has finally been lifted off his feet!

After a brief discussion about follow-up matters, the call ended.

Liao Zhong put down the phone, let out a long sigh of relief, and felt as if he had lost several pounds.

He leaned back in his chair, a bright, relieved smile spreading across his face.

If the inspection of the bunker goes smoothly tomorrow, Chen Duo will be able to truly say goodbye to the past and, like an ordinary girl, go to school, go shopping, and enjoy a normal life she has never experienced before! And he will be her strongest support.

At the same time, the company headquarters’ administrative orders were issued to the confidential communication channels of the regional managers with maximum efficiency.

A short document marked "Confidential" was sent out.

The document was extremely simple, containing only the name "Wang Xuan" and the description: "Young male, often wearing a white Taoist robe, with an extraordinary demeanor," along with the headquarters' explicit instruction: "Observe carefully, avoid conflict for now, and strictly prohibit offending him."

There wasn't even a blurry photo or portrait, which shows the scarcity of information sources and the cautious attitude of the headquarters.

Tianjin, the headquarters of North China Region.

The office was filled with smoke. Xu Si had a lit cigarette in his mouth, his legs crossed on the desk, looking nonchalant.

He casually opened the encrypted file pushed by the internal system.

When he saw the name "Wang Xuan" and the brief description that followed, along with the special instructions from headquarters, he raised an eyebrow, a look of amusement and surprise on his face.

"Holy crap!"

Xu Si exhaled a smoke ring, smacked his lips, and muttered to himself.

"Where did this ruthless guy come from, from some remote mountain village?"

What makes those old guys at headquarters so cautious in issuing this kind of order?

'Try not to offend them'? Tsk tsk, interesting..."

He scrolled through the meager information on his mouse, trying to uncover more clues, but to no avail.

This made him even more curious about the mysterious Taoist priest in white.

"White Taoist robe...young...extraordinary demeanor..."

Xu Si stroked the stubble on his chin, his eyes gleaming.

"Could it be that some reclusive old monster's precious disciple has finally been released? It seems the world of supernatural beings is about to be in turmoil again..."

Although he appears carefree and cynical, he is actually extremely meticulous.

Such special instructions from headquarters are extremely rare. When they do appear, it means that something has emerged that even the company needs to treat with caution and that cannot be measured by conventional templates.

He memorized the name "Wang Xuan".

Similar scenarios were unfolding in the offices of other regional leaders.

Everyone who saw this document had different speculations and concerns.

Wang Xuan, who was meditating peacefully in his hotel room, was completely unaware of all the turmoil he had caused.

However, even if he knew, he would probably just smile indifferently and wouldn't take it to heart.

The company's attention? The bigwigs' speculation? The undercurrents in the world of supernatural beings?

For him, it was all just fleeting smoke.

His goal has always been clear and definite—to acquire the Six Treasuries of Immortal Thieves and complete his own path.

Besides, as long as you don't provoke him, what do external disturbances have to do with him?

The night grew ever deeper. Wang Xuan's breathing was long and steady, completely isolated from the noise outside the window, as if it had merged into some deeper rhythm.

Chapter 28 The Bone-Scraping Knife Xia He

Time flows like water, quietly passing by. Ever since that night when I interfered in Chen Duo's affairs.

Wang Xuan's life returned to extreme simplicity and routine, as if he had returned to the five years of arduous training he spent in the mountain village of Northeast China.

He rented a quiet courtyard in the suburbs of Liupanshui and lived a secluded life there.

Aside from necessary meals, sleep, and the unwavering system check-in, he devoted most of his time and energy to cultivation.

Although the Reverse Rebirth Triple Stage has reached the third stage, this is not the end, but a more vast and profound starting point.

He needs to constantly refine and purify his own Qi, deepen his understanding of the concept of "reversing the innate state," and try to explore possible paths beyond the third level.

The experience beads provided by the system can help him overcome the hurdle of accumulation, but true understanding and mastery still require persistent effort.

Of course, his practice was not just about sitting in meditation.

Early that morning, as dawn broke and the thin mist had not yet dissipated, the clear chirping of birds and the rhythmic whistling of birds echoed from a secluded corner of a park on the outskirts of the city.

Wang Xuan, dressed in a white Taoist robe, stood beneath an old pine tree, his figure as steady as a mountain. His movements were not fast.

Each move contained explosive power, the wind from the punches howled, and the hem of his clothes fluttered and billowed, making a "whooshing" sound.

His movements are fierce and violent, with rapid force exertion, emphasizing the perfect combination of six force exertion methods: "top, hug, carry, lift, sling, and wrap".

Punch, elbow strike, back strike, stomp... every movement is simple and direct, yet full of invincible and powerful momentum!

His footwork was steady and agile, with each step, grinding, shaking, and stomping perfectly coordinated with his upper body movements, making him seem like a precise and ferocious fighting machine.

This was the reward he received for checking in one day—Bajiquan!

The system instills not only techniques and routines, but also an understanding of its core principle of "selflessness and courage in the face of danger," as well as muscle memory and instinctive power generation formed through countless hours of practice.

Wang Xuan knew that as a cultivator, one should never simply sit in meditation to practice Qi and temper one's life force.

Physical refinement is equally important; only when both form and spirit are in harmony can one endure.

A strong physique is the foundation for carrying vast amounts of Qi, and close combat skills are often more effective than dazzling superpowers in certain situations.

Bajiquan, a powerful and fierce style of boxing, is perfect for loosening muscles and bones, harmonizing yin and yang, and better unleashing the immense power brought about by the reverse three-fold regeneration.

Moreover, he always remembered what Zhuge Qing said to Zhao Nian, who was engrossed in the inner world, in Biyou Village in the original novel, and felt that it was also very meaningful for him:

"A person cannot let his horse run wild."

Letting things run wild will inevitably lead to disaster.

The path of spiritual practice is also the path of cultivating the mind.

While the growth of power is certainly gratifying, it is essential to maintain a clear mind and a sense of awe at all times.

If one allows arrogance, complacency, or other emotions brought about by power to control oneself, then sooner or later one will lose oneself in power and invite disaster upon oneself.

The immense power brought by the Triple Rebirth can easily give people the illusion of being "invincible," causing them to lower their guard and even breed inner demons.

Although Wang Xuan had already reached the legendary realm of the Reverse Rebirth Triple Level through the system and fortuitous encounters, his cultivation was still exceptionally high in terms of both quantity and purity of Qi.

He believed that apart from the unfathomable "Peerless Master" Zhang Zhiwei, no one in the world could surpass him, making him "second in the world".

But he knew perfectly well that most of his "cultivation" was forcibly built up by the experience beads he received from the system.

It's like a castle in the air; although it towers into the clouds, the solidity of its foundation, the exquisite understanding of the use of power, and the tempering of its character are all far from matching its level of cultivation.
