Leave the Divine Beast Pavilion.

The smile on Lu Ming's face vanished instantly.

"Master, how much truth do you think the young master has to say?" Wang Dingwei asked respectfully.

"Hmph! Who cares how much of it is true? Anyway, I won't live much longer!" Lu Ming said with a disdainful look.

"The medicine you just gave him, was it a newly developed poison by the Third Elder?"

"Exactly!"

"If I remember correctly, after taking that medicine, the body's organs would rapidly fail, and after experiencing three days of excruciating pain, one would finally die." Wang Dingwei recalled the effects of the medicine, his tone tinged with fear.

"Letting him experience three days of pain is already letting him off easy!" Lu Ming sneered.

He felt a surge of shame and indignation at the thought that he had just been intimidated by the aura emanating from Lu Yuan.

He's just a good-for-nothing who occupies the status of the legitimate son, yet he dares to drink with him.

This punishment is too lenient!

Perfect, this can also be considered as completing one of the tasks assigned to him by the Grand Elder.

Next, only the mysterious mythical beast auction house remains.

Unfortunately, he missed last night's auction and will have to stay in Yunlei City, this godforsaken, impoverished place, for a few more days.

...

"The above is the entire conversation between the two after they left the store."

Tang Qi stood in front of Lu Yuan and truthfully reported what she had heard to him.

"Ha! I don't know what the Grand Elder was thinking, sending two idiots over here." Lu Yuan couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.

"The key was the rhetoric the boss taught me; those two idiots believed it without a second thought!" Wang Ye said with a laugh, standing beside him.

Aside from the first few days after arriving in Yunlei City, he had never heard Lu Yuan cough again.

I've never seen Lu Yuan cough up blood.

All those words were instructions Lu Yuan had given him beforehand.

He would answer any questions Lu Ming and the other person asked in the same way.

It actually came in handy!

Lu Yuan's lips curled slightly, having clearly guessed Lu Ming's thoughts and feelings.

I just didn't expect Lu Ming to believe it so easily.

But this also suited him perfectly.

He had made other preparations, but he managed to get away with it so easily, which saved him a lot of trouble.

"Boss, that bastard is incredibly audacious! He actually dared to give you poison. Should I kill him right now?" Tang Qi said coldly.

"No need." Lu Yuan waved his hand casually. "The medicine he gave me is so effective that I need to think of a better way to return the favor."

Hear this.

Tang Qi and Wang Ye exchanged a glance, their anticipation palpable.

Lu Yuan pondered for a moment, then suddenly thought of something.

"Wang Ye, send me Andongwei's phone number."

After saying that.

He got up and left.

"Why does the boss need Brother An's phone number? There are already enough kids in the shop..."

Wang Ye scratched his head in confusion, but his hands moved quickly, immediately sending An Dongwei's phone number to Lu Yuan.

...

After returning to his room, Lu Yuan locked the doors and windows and then entered the Beast Taming Space.

"Eee~"

As usual, Xiao Yi ran over and hugged him affectionately, nuzzling him.

Lu Yuan smiled and ruffled her hair, then turned around and sat down cross-legged under the ancient tree.

Despite being stuck at the tenth level of the extraordinary realm, he never slacked off and persisted in cultivating every day.

He could sense it.

All this spiritual energy is stored in his dantian. As long as he finds the opportunity to break through, he can instantly advance several levels!

Time flies.

Lu Yuan cultivated in the Beast Taming Space for a whole night and felt that the spiritual energy in his body had become much more abundant.

However, there are still no signs of any breakthrough.

"It seems we have no choice but to seek opportunities in the secret realms of the Black Forest."

Lu Yuan got up and walked towards Xiao Yi.

Like him, Xiao Yi also showed no signs of a breakthrough.

"Xiao Yi's potential and bloodline level are only at the Xuanzhen level. We need to upgrade her when we have more money."

Due to limited funds at the time, we were unable to invest a significant amount of divine power when performing the mythological baptism on Xiao Yi.

Now that he's earning more money, he has to promote Xiao Yi to a lower level.

Otherwise, once she breaks through to the Xuanzhen level, her cultivation speed and potential will be limited.

After checking on Xiao Yi's condition, Lu Yuan returned to the edge of the space.

The white fog still showed no signs of dissipating, but compared to the previous few days, he could now vaguely make out the outline of the bamboo house.

To his surprise...

The bamboo house looks like it has more than one floor.

Lu Yuan was so curious that his heart was itching like a cat scratching an itch, but he just couldn't get through the white mist.

There was nothing we could do but watch helplessly.

but.

He had a premonition.

Once he breaks through to the Xuanzhen level, he will be able to see the true face of the bamboo house.

...

night.

Lu Ming returned to the city lord's mansion and went into his room.

After confirming that no one was around, he made a phone call.

"What's up?"

After the phone rang twice, the Grand Elder's voice came from the other end.

"Elder, the matter of the Divine Beast Pavilion has been investigated and clarified." Lu Ming reported the information he had gathered. "The Divine Beast Pavilion is just a branch of the Myriad Beasts Pavilion that Lu Yuan took over. The rumors are all false; they are just his boasts used to attract customers."

Upon hearing this, the elder on the other end of the phone frowned deeply.

"Fake? Has it been confirmed?"

"I went to see it myself, it's absolutely true!" Lu Ming said confidently.

"How is Lu Yuan's health?" the elder asked.

"Just like in the capital, he's clinging to life by his last breath! And today I gave him the Third Elder's newly developed poison, so it should be ready in the next day or two."

Lu Ming wore a malicious expression, as if he could already see Lu Yuan dying tragically before his eyes.

"Well done." The elder's tone carried a hint of pride.

"However, there is still no news about the Divine Beast Auction House; we may have to wait a few more days."

"It's alright," the elder said casually. "Remember, once the rumors are confirmed, take over the auction house at all costs! As long as you handle this matter well, I guarantee you a bright future and a life free from financial worries."

"yes!"

Even after hanging up the phone, Lu Ming was still very excited.

Money, beautiful women, fame and fortune are all beckoning to him!

He'll be rich if he can take over the Divine Beast Auction House!

...

at the same time.

The elder smiled dismissively at the phone.

A fool like Lu Ming, who loves to daydream, is too easy to exploit. Just give him a little sweetness, and he'll start to imagine things and then willingly work for him.

But it's also thanks to these idiots that he's achieved his current status!

Just then, the phone rang again.

The elder frowned subconsciously, but upon seeing the caller ID, he quickly answered with a fawning smile.

"Grandson, why aren't you asleep yet, it's so late?"

"How's it going?" The voice on the other end of the phone was icy.

"Don't worry, Lu Yuan will be dead within three days! The position of Lu family heir can only be yours," the elder said with a smile.

"That's good, make sure it's done cleanly."

After saying that, the person on the other end of the phone hung up immediately.

The elder shook his head with a wry smile while holding the phone, and then summoned a bodyguard.

"Go to Yunlei City..."
