The next day, the Old Nine Gates found another jar of 【Shi Zhiz Dan】 in the cave, which perfectly matched the description on the silk scroll.
This jar of Shi Zhiz Dan had been stored for an unknown amount of years, though it had lost its luster, it had not decayed.
It still emitted a pungent aroma.
"Is there really a Shi Zhi King inside?" Chen Wu asked curiously.
"Crack one open and see, won't you know then?" Black Back Old Six said, taking one out.
Xiao Ge happened to be present, he also wanted to see what was inside, so he didn't stop Black Back Old Six.
Black Back Old Six threw the pill on the ground and stepped on it. There was a crack, and the pill shattered into several pieces.
In the debris of the pill, there was indeed a red Shi Zhi King, and it was still alive!
After flapping its wings twice, the insect flew up.
Everyone's faces turned pale with fright, thankfully Xiao Ge acted quickly.
He swiftly extended his index and middle fingers, trapping the insect, defusing the crisis.
Xiao Ge also possessed relatively pure Kirin blood, so the Shi Zhi King's venom had no effect on him.
Everyone finally let out a sigh of relief.
"This is too... too stubborn! It's still alive? This bug has a long lifespan!" Black Back Old Six exclaimed.
"This bug is highly poisonous, and it can live this long, if it could reproduce on a large scale, it would be a huge disaster for all living beings!" Jie Jiu Ye frowned.
"Such a poisonous thing, it was made into a pill, who invented it? Can it really make people live forever if eaten?" Huo Xian Gu wondered.
"Hard to say, perhaps that meteorite copper combined with the insect can produce some unimaginable energy, maybe it will really have unexpected effects..." Qi Tie Zui said.
"Would you dare to eat it?" Wu Lao Gou asked.
Qi Tie Zui immediately shook his head: "I'll pass. I've calculated my own life, I can only live to 77 years old, I won't pursue immortality..."
Zhang Da Fo Ye put the lid back on.
He turned to everyone and said: "This thing is very dangerous. I will have someone send it to them, so we can fulfill our obligation."
Everyone naturally had no objections, after all, this thing can't be eaten, and it's a hidden danger to keep it, it's better to send it away.
So Zhang Da Fo Ye arranged for a few people to send this jar of pills to their people.
After receiving the pills, those people were overjoyed, they immediately sent them back to headquarters and presented them to their leader.
The leader dared not eat them, he could only take them for research first.
With these pills, the Old Nine Gates finally escaped a disaster.
Time flew by like water, and in the blink of an eye, three months had passed, and it was October.
This month, Chen Wu went back to his hometown and brought his one-year-old daughter, Chen Wen Jin, to the camp.
This was out of necessity.
When Chen Wu left, his daughter was only a few months old.
In order to support his wife and daughter, he had to follow Chen Pi A Si into life and death, to earn money to support them.
Now that he had become the head, inheriting all the properties under Chen Pi A Si's name, he naturally had to settle his wife and daughter first.
So, he simply brought them to his side.
This would make it easier to take care of them.
As for the other heads, they had settled their families before they left, so they weren't worried about anything happening.
Xiao Ge was still the same as before, often sitting alone in a deserted corner in a daze, he had become quite depressed.
...
Zhang Family Ancient Building, Tian Shou Altar.
Zhang Yun Feng was sitting on the ground, meditating and practicing his skills.
At this moment, the true energy in his dantian had condensed into a ball the size of a fist, making him look several years younger than he was a year ago.
But Zhang Yun Feng himself didn't know.
After all, he was busy practicing his skills every day, and he had to guard the Tian Shou Altar, how could he have time to look in a mirror? He didn't even have a mirror.
As his true energy became more powerful, the time he could sustain his Diamond Invincible Skill was twice as long as before, lasting about 20 minutes.
Not only that, the power of the Mighty Vajra Leg was even more terrifying than before! One kick could leave a deep pit in a rock wall, knocking down the entire wall!
Its power was no less than a thousand pounds, extremely terrifying!
In addition, his Everlasting Spring Technique had also made significant progress, running faster, and his blood flow was smoother.
This was the reason why he was getting younger.
Unfortunately, the conditions here were too simple, his hair and beard were simply trimmed with the Black Gold Ancient Sword, making him look quite disheveled.
He looked no different from a beggar...
"It's been half a year, I'll be able to leave here in 11 months."
Zhang Yun Feng muttered to himself.
During the past six months, he would simply exchange food from the system when he was hungry, and when he was tired, he would simply fall asleep on the ground.
He didn't care if it was dirty or not, there were a few dead people around.
Thankfully, this altar was very safe, apart from the few dead people, there was nothing to be afraid of.
Time flew by, and it was the end of the year.
One day in February 1962.
Zhang Da Fo Ye received another order from it, asking him to clear out all the personnel within the Nine Gates who knew about the Shi Zhi Dan, including the leaders of the Nine Gates, to ensure that the secret was not leaked!
After receiving the order, Zhang Da Fo Ye did not execute it.
He was also a man of character, how could he allow himself to be slaughtered?
But he knew its methods.
This time he openly defied the secret, it would definitely not let the Old Nine Gates off the hook, and it would certainly suppress them with iron and blood!
Sensing an impending disaster, Zhang Da Fo Ye immediately informed the people of the Old Nine Gates, telling them to run, as far as they could run!
Things had come to this, it just proved what Zhang Yun Feng had said to them before he left.
"Brother, it seems you know it better than I do, at this point, I can only do as you said..." Zhang Qi Shan said with a bitter smile.
Fortunately, more than ten years ago, due to development needs, the homes of the leaders of the major Nine Gates had gradually moved to other parts of the country.
Some were in the capital, some in Jiangnan, and some in Guangxi-Yunnan.
Only Zhang Da Fo Ye's family was still in Xiangsha City.
However, he wasn't worried about what it would do to him.
Because it still needed Zhang Qi Shan to do some dirty work for it, and this was also the reason why he dared to defy its orders.
Then, he immediately summoned the leaders of the Nine Gates.
After informing everyone of the situation, he directly told them to run, as far as they could run, otherwise they would be waiting for death if they stayed!
"Boss, what about you if we all run? Your family is still in Xiangsha..." Huo Xian Gu frowned.
"Don't worry about me, it won't do anything to me, quickly take your people and run, it's too late if you wait any longer!" Zhang Qi Shan said.
The leaders of the Nine Gates were not indecisive people, and soon some of them took their people and left the Four Maiden Mountain overnight.
