Chapter 2034 Golden Body and Turmoil

Lu Chengwen drank too much.

She dragged "White Teeth" out of the bathroom. As soon as they came out, "White Teeth" glared at the little girl, who looked aggrieved.

It's not that I didn't try to stop him, but the problem is that Lu Chengwen just took off his pants without warning. I've never seen anything like that before!

If we chase after them and try to stop them, we'll be exposed!

Lu Chengwen started rambling on to "White Teeth," expressing his admiration for the man on one hand, and discussing cooperation on the other, assuring him that he could definitely make everyone money, especially the Bai family, because of their brotherhood...

Finally, I met Jiang Xiaohou.

Jiang Xiaohou smiled slightly, took the heavy load, and helped Lu Chengwen to rest.

"White Teeth" turned pale with anger: "He should be killed."

The little girl knew she had made a mistake, so she lowered her head and didn't dare to say a word.

……

When Lu Chengwen was sleeping.

The four major families held a meeting.

Secret meeting.

The Jiang family consists of Jiang Shang and Jiang Bozheng; the Xia family consists of Xia Yongnian and Xia Ying; the Bai family consists of Bai Menya and Bai Menqiushui; and the Mo family consists of Mo Chen and Mo Haiping.

Jiang Shangdao said, "Everyone, I've invited you all here to discuss matters concerning Lu Chengwen and Tianwu. Bo Zheng."

"Yes, father."

Jiang Bo was beginning to explain the current situation.

There are three conclusions:

First, Lu Chengwen has become an important contact person for Tianwu. Through him, negotiations can be conducted with Tianwu, and there may be a huge cooperation involving the four major families, with everyone benefiting.

Second, the Jiang family will take Lu Chengwen as their son-in-law to keep him in check, establish a close relationship with him before Tianwu, and ensure that Lu Chengwen will not betray them or engage in any instigation or self-serving activities. Once discovered and with conclusive evidence, the Jiang family will prioritize executing Lu Chengwen, and the other three major families can also act at any time.

Third, if Lu Chengwen works diligently and can indeed obtain all of Tianwu's funds to operate businesses, then all four major families can benefit. The Jiang family has priority, but will not monopolize the profits. If everyone agrees, the distribution can be discussed.

Jiang Bozheng spoke at length, and everyone present listened attentively.

Bai Fangya continued drinking tea without speaking, seemingly deep in thought.

Xia Yongnian was the first to express his agreement to launch the project.

If a truce can be reached with Tianwu, not only will the number of young casualties decrease, but both sides can also recuperate. Moreover, in the long run, if both sides can gain benefits and achieve better development and returns, then the ownership of the Mo Family's Grand Formation can be set aside. It can even be set aside for a long time.

During this time, everyone can also join forces to eliminate the Skynet organization.

Moreover, in terms of development and strength accumulation, the entire ancient martial arts world of China is developing at a faster pace than Tianwu. The advantage lies with us.

The Mohists expressed similar opinions.

White Tooth raised his head: "I have no objection. But the interests of the Bai family cannot be lower than those of any other family, and the Skynet matter must be elevated to the same priority. This organization cannot be allowed to continue."

With his white teeth sternly looking at everyone, he said, "All of you here are my elders, and I have the utmost respect for you. The matter of Tianwu concerns both war and development. Putting it aside would benefit both sides. In fact, I've long wanted to end the war. This wastes resources on both sides and is ultimately meaningless."

"But Skynet..."

The man with the white teeth had eyes as sharp as knives: "Has anyone guessed the identity of that rat-headed one?"

“Uh…” Xia Yongnian said, “Patriarch Bai, let’s discuss things one by one. I think we should finalize the cooperation first, because it’s not easy for Ancestor Tianwu to come out, and she’s getting old…”

White Tooth looked at Xia Yongnian: "Since the decision to cooperate has been made and all five parties are willing, what remains is a period of peaceful negotiation and maneuvering. As for Skynet, it is an arrow hidden in the shadows and a mine buried in the ground; it is already very urgent."

Jiang Shang nodded: "Yes. The fact that they dared to come to the Jiang family alone to provoke us shows just how arrogant they are."

White Tooth said, "There's one more thing. They have golden bodies."

"Golden body?" Xia Ying asked, puzzled. "What golden body?"

Xia Ying looked around. Everyone's expressions were strange. Clearly, this was a top secret, and no one knew about it.

Mo Chen sighed: "It's an evil technique that was banned long ago."

"This kind of evil skill is very strange. Almost any school can learn it, and from the outside, there is no problem with it."

"Once the Golden Body is activated, the adaptee's abilities will increase explosively. The rate of increase varies from person to person, but even the worst will basically double in strength."

"Double!?" Xia Ying was astonished. "How can it be so powerful!? Doesn't that mean... once the Golden Body is activated, one is invincible?"

"Not only that," White Tooth said, "some people might experience several times, ten times, or even more. The Golden Body technique is extremely unstable and will have some backlash, but it's not strong."

"Then why ban it?"

Jiang Shang sighed: "It was the decision made in my previous era by Senior Tian Gang and the Five Elders, which was approved by the Elder Council and the heads of the four major families at the time."

"Because anyone who cultivates the Golden Body becomes extremely arrogant and violent. I don't know if it's because the martial arts themselves have an influence on the mind. Senior Tiangang has personally cultivated and studied it."

"What was the result?"

Jiang Shang said, "He dislikes this mental cultivation method. He feels that the Golden Body will cause a person's strength to increase dramatically, and the increase is terrifying. Moreover... once a normal martial artist cultivates the Golden Body, he loses the gradual process and suddenly possesses powerful and destructive strength, which has a great impact on his mentality."

"It's like an ordinary person suddenly being given 100 million yuan. They don't have the process of making money; they only experience the ecstasy of becoming rich overnight."

"They will consume recklessly and without restraint, and will be seduced by the sycophants who flock to them, gradually heading towards destruction."

Jiang Shang said, "My analogy isn't very good, but that's roughly the idea."

Mo Haiping suddenly asked, "Is no one learning from the Five Elders?"

Jiang Shang laughed heartily: "Can you learn it?"

Mo Haiping was taken aback; he really wanted to give it a try.

Jiang Shang laughed and said, "Don't even think about it. True strong people don't rely on that kind of thing. We are all martial artists, and all top-tier talents at that. We all know very well that the philosophy of martial arts is not about strength itself. If you can't truly understand strength clearly and rationally, you will become like Rat Head."

Mo Haiping nodded, agreeing in his heart, but also feeling a little regretful.

Suddenly I realized: even I feel so sorry for it, so most people would be even less able to resist the temptation, especially... those who are not very talented and cannot reach the top in a normal competitive environment.

Mo Haiping looked up and found Jiang Shangzheng staring at him with a smile.

"Hai Ping, has something come to mind?"

Mo Haiping nodded: "If that's the case, then the harm of this evil skill is not just its destruction and alteration of individuals, but... a major threat to the entire martial arts world."

Jiang Shang nodded with satisfaction: "That's right. So, the Five Elders want to ban it."

Xia Ying didn't follow: "Wait, what exactly is it..."

Mo Haiping looked at her: "Turbulence."
