When he finally rushed out, the auction for the Jade Lion was already over.
Tang Yu was leisurely playing with the Jade Lion in his hands, his face full of delight.
Just after Lu Junzhuo left, the auction for the genuine Jade Lion began.
Seeing two identical items appear consecutively, the crowd at the auction began to murmur in confusion.
After Tang Yu made the first bid, no one else dared to raise the price.
After all, Tang Yu had already bid tens of billions earlier.
Who would be so foolish as to bid against him now? That would only end up offending him for no reason.
Seeing Tang Yu playing with the Jade Lion, Lu Junzhuo's resentment burned fiercely.
This bastard had the audacity to humiliate him!
Not only did he steal his elixir, but he also tricked him with a fake and even poisoned it.
How could there be such a vicious person in the world?
However, upon seeing Tang Yu merely playing with the Jade Lion, Lu Junzhuo felt a slight sense of relief.
It seemed this guy probably didn't know how to unlock the Nine Palaces Lock.
In this world, fewer than five people could open it!
And Tang Yu certainly wasn’t among them!
With bloodshot eyes, Lu Junzhuo returned to his seat, resolved.
No matter what, today he would reclaim the Jade Lion from Tang Yu.
This man must die!
【Haha, that idiot must have already eaten the pill inside the Jade Lion, right?】
【A chosen one is still a chosen one, even if he didn’t get poisoned to death.】
Tang Yu, standing nearby, silently gloated.
After obtaining the Jade Lion, he had immediately unlocked the Nine Palaces Lock and retrieved its contents.
Inside were a Nine Revolutions Elixir and a ancient martial art manual.
Upon obtaining the Nine Revolutions Elixir, Tang Yu promptly swallowed it.
This elixir, once ingested, could enhance one's cultivation.
Recently, Tang Yu's strength had been upgraded by the system to the Yellow Grade.
After taking the pill, he easily broke through to the early stage of the Black Grade.
As for the ancient martial art manual, it wasn’t something he could master immediately, so he decided to study it later.
While Tang Yu was secretly gloating, Wenren Yage's expression sharpened.
Had Lu Junzhuo already been poisoned?
She turned her head and noticed that Lu Junzhuo’s breathing did seem unstable.
If he really had been poisoned, then wouldn’t this be her chance to kill him?
Wenren Yage was secretly pleased. She hadn’t expected such an opportunity to arise so quickly.
So, she deliberately inquired, looking at Lu Junzhuo, "Mr. Lu, you seem a bit unwell?"
Seeing Wenren Yage express concern for him, Lu Junzhuo felt a bit better.
He replied, "I ate something wrong. It's just a minor issue."
"*gag*"
The moment he spoke, Wenren Yage was hit by a foul stench and couldn’t help but retch.
Others nearby also caught a whiff of the smell and started pinching their noses in disgust.
“Damn, it stinks.”
“What is that smell? Did someone shit themselves?”
“Impossible, they’re not a child.”
Upon hearing these comments, Lu Junzhuo’s face turned green.
The source of the stench was emanating from his mouth; he could smell it himself.
This heartless Tang Yu, not only did he poison him, but he even mixed in feces.
Could there be a more despicable act?
Lu Junzhuo changed his mind.
He decided to beat Tang Yu until he was disabled and throw him into a cesspool to drown.
“I'm going to the restroom,” Lu Junzhuo announced.
Before he could finish, Wenren Yage retched again.
“...”
Embarrassed to the extreme, Lu Junzhuo nearly ground his teeth to dust before storming off to the restroom to rinse his mouth.
There were disposable mouthwash bottles in the restroom.
He rinsed for nearly five minutes, but the foul odor only subsided slightly.
Seeing that the smell in his mouth wouldn’t go away, Lu Junzhuo roared in anger and punched through the restroom mirror.
“Tang Yu, I’ll make you pay!”
As Tang Yu leaned in his seat, feeling the changes in his body, he suddenly sneezed.
Seeing that Lu Junzhuo had gone to the restroom, Tang Yu’s eyes wandered.
【The auction's almost over, it's time to make a quick escape.】
Otherwise, if this beast with his peak Black Grade strength starts going berserk, I might not gain the upper hand.
【Ah, the Immovable Wisdom King Technique is still a bit lacking. If it had higher defense and could ignore someone at the Black Grade, that would be great.】
Sighing inwardly, Tang Yu grabbed the Jade Lion and made his escape.
Hearing Tang Yu’s thoughts, Wenren Yage pondered for a moment before quickly following him.
Based on her understanding of Lu Junzhuo, she knew he wouldn’t let Tang Yu go.
This would be her chance for both repayment and revenge!
As the two slipped away, Lu Junzhuo returned, red-eyed.
Finding that Tang Yu was no longer in his seat, his eyes widened in fury.
A quick scan revealed Tang Yu’s suspicious figure sneaking away.
“Trying to run?”
Roaring with rage, he sprinted after Tang Yu with all his might.
Today, no matter what, he wouldn’t let Tang Yu escape with the Nine Revolutions Elixir!
By the time he chased Tang Yu out of the auction venue, Tang Yu was already heading towards the parking lot.
“You won’t get away!”
With a furious shout, Lu Junzhuo maximized his speed and shot toward Tang Yu.
When the distance between them narrowed to just two meters, Lu Junzhuo’s qi surged.
He transformed his body into a spear and kicked Tang Yu hard in the back.
Hit by the kick, Tang Yu stumbled, nearly losing his balance, and the Jade Lion flew out of his hands.
Lu Junzhuo’s face lit up with glee as he snatched the Jade Lion.
He coldly glared at Tang Yu and said, “Tang Yu, dare to compete with me? Today is your end.”
He had initially planned to bide his time and assassinate Tang Yu discreetly.
But Tang Yu had crossed the line for him.
He had dared to plot against him in secret!
With these thoughts, he quickly opened the Nine Palaces Lock on the Jade Lion.
Inside was indeed a pill!
He picked it up and smelled it.
This time, there was only the fragrance of medicine, no stench!
“As expected, this is the true Nine Revolutions Elixir.”
Overjoyed, he quickly popped the pill into his mouth and swallowed it.
Today, he would break through on the spot and beat this guy into a cripple, then throw him into a cesspool to drown!
Only then could he quench his hatred.
As he swallowed the pill, instead of feeling any change within him, the previous excruciating pain returned.
A horrified gasp escaped his lips.
Could it be that this was yet another poisoned pill?
Tang Yu was nonsense, he should not possess the skill to open the Nine Palaces Lock!
That's classified information known only by the Dragon Soul Organization!
Meanwhile, the panicked expression on Tang Yu’s face transformed into a cheerful grin.
If this guy hadn’t chased him down and eagerly swallowed the pill, they might have been fine.
But since he was so eager to take the bait, the medicine might not kill Lu Junzhuo.
However, it would certainly severely impact his fighting power.
So, don’t blame me for being rude!
With a clenched fist, he charged straight at Lu Junzhuo.
With equal combat ability, Tang Yu had the Immovable Wisdom King Technique on his side.
An upper hand was still an upper hand!
As the poison spread in his body, Lu Junzhuo was terrified.
He quickly swallowed his last two special detox pills.
Then, he threw a punch at Tang Yu!
The two punches collided, sending them each back a step.
Even in poor condition, Lu Junzhuo had the slight advantage owing to his peak Black Grade strength.
A dying camel was still bigger than a horse!
Only, the previous poison hadn’t completely dissipated, and now he was hit with a new dose.
In such unfavorable conditions, continuing the fight would definitely leave him worse off.
Just as he was about to make a hasty retreat, Wenren Yage appeared.
His face lit up in delight.
Backup has arrived!

The goal is to explore stations, gather resources, upgrade the train, and survive. Unlike others who received food in their newcomer gift packages, Qi Xiao got a module card that activated a special ability—Station Forecast. Every time the train starts moving, it updates detailed information about the next station, warning of dangers and revealing potential treasures. While others must cautiously explore, Qi Xiao can rapidly develop his strength by relying on the station forecasts.

end. Thus one must continue to cultivate, and become a saint or great emperor, in order to prolong one's life. Chen Xia, however, completely reversed this. Since his transmigration, he has gained immortality, and also a system that awards him with attribute points for every year he lives. Thus between the myriad worlds, the legend of an unparalleled senior appeared. "A gentleman takes revenge; it is never too late even after ten thousand years." "When you were at your peak I yielded, now in your old age I shall trample on you." - Chen Xia
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
