The Elixir is for You, The Poison is for Me

While the heroes' fiery gazes were focused on Xie Liancheng, Xie Liancheng was also looking at the people in the hall.

Every face that his gaze swept across, regardless of gender or age, was filled with greed and desire. Everyone looked eager to try. However, Xie Liancheng was not afraid when he saw this. Instead, a hint of imperceptible complacency and joy flashed in his eyes.

It wasn't until his gaze landed on Lu Jing that he was stunned.

He couldn't feel any desire for the divine skill manual from this young man.

However, the situation in the hall was already like a powder keg with a lit fuse, so he couldn't think too much about it. Xie Liancheng quickly retracted his gaze and continued.

"Very good. I am very happy that everyone has withstood the test. Whether it is fine wine, delicacies, beautiful women, or gold and silk, they cannot stop everyone's pursuit of martial arts. It is enough to show that you are all like me, people who love martial arts like their lives."

However, he had only spoken halfway when he heard someone shout from the opposite side, "Stop talking nonsense, and quickly hand over the manual!"

That person's shout immediately received the support of many people in the hall.

Don't look at Xie Liancheng now that he has advanced to the first-class realm. They are no match for him in a one-on-one fight, but the problem is that there are too many martial artists attending the banquet tonight, and they are all above the second-class realm. No matter how high Xie Liancheng's martial arts are, he cannot fight against so many people. That is why these people are so fearless.

Among the more than two hundred people in this hall, I'm afraid that you can count them on your fingers.

Even Wei Zixian, at his current peak second-rate realm, is only one step away from completely opening up the Ren and Du meridians and becoming a true peerless master, but how long will it take to take this last step?

If you are unlucky, it is common to delay it for three to five years.

But now, a path to the sky in one step is placed in front of them.

Something is wrong! A warning sign arose in Lu Jing's heart.

As one of the few people in the group of heroes who had seen Xie Liancheng, although he had only seen him from afar at the pier, the Xie Liancheng who was secretly competing in martial arts with the Cao Gang manager and the Xie Liancheng who was hosting the heroes at the night banquet gave him completely different feelings.

It's like two people!

The former was silent but steady and reliable, like a reef in the sea, while the latter was like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue.

Of course, after all, nine months had passed since Lu Jing last saw Xie Liancheng. This time was not long or short, but it was indeed enough for a person's temperament to change drastically. Moreover, considering the pressure Xie Liancheng was facing, even if he was really crazy, Lu Jing would not be too surprised.

So he didn't know where the warning sign in his heart came from.

Lu Jing looked around, only to see that the heroes around him were still full of energy and lively. His top MT Wei Zixian was also in the best possible condition, so Lu Jing breathed a sigh of relief.

On the other side, Xie Liancheng actually stopped talking nonsense after laughing and waved his hand directly, "Serve the dishes!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the group of dancing girls who had retreated earlier came out again.

Compared to before, this time they had an extra plate in their hands. However, what was strange was that the plate was not filled with delicacies, but books.

As the dancing girls stepped lightly and walked gracefully to the table, the faces of the heroes changed drastically again.

Could it be that what Xie Liancheng said was actually true? He really intended to take out the supreme secret book at this night banquet for all the guests to study together?

At this moment, the heroes in the hall were all speechless.

Many thoughts flashed through everyone's minds. They didn't expect the divine skill manual to be obtained so easily.

If they were in Xie Liancheng's position, they would never be able to do such a thing, because even if they were forced to a dead end and had to hand over the manual, they didn't have to be so extreme.

As long as they handed over the manual to top sects such as Xijian Pavilion and Xuankong Temple, they would naturally be able to obtain the protection of those sects, and the crisis tonight would be eliminated.

However, Xie Liancheng chose a path that almost no one would take.

Could it be that these manuals are fake and coated with poison? Or are these dancing girls all assassins who want to take the opportunity to assassinate them while delivering the manuals?

The heroes couldn't help but be on guard, but the scenes they imagined didn't happen. The dancing girls put the manuals in front of them and then retreated with a chuckle.

When they left, every martial artist in the hall had a manual placed in front of them, without exception.

Serving the divine skill treasure as a dish, everyone was encountering this scene for the first time, and they couldn't help but look at each other.

But soon someone couldn't help but pick up the silver chopsticks from the side and flipped open the pages. As a result, after only reading a few lines, they could no longer move their eyes. Just like a drunkard who had obtained vintage wine, the whole person instantly became intoxicated.

Seeing the expression on that person's face, more and more people in the hall couldn't wait to open the manuals in front of them. Those with deep internal strength directly grabbed it, while those with slightly weaker cultivation learned from the previous person and used other objects to open it to avoid being poisoned.

As a result, without exception, they were attracted by the things above. Some people showed ecstasy on their faces, grabbed the manual and laughed up to the sky. Some people muttered to themselves, only feeling that the many confusions of the past were suddenly enlightened.

Some people couldn't wait to follow the cultivation routes recorded above and began to meditate and breathe. After a moment, they opened their eyes and shouted, "My realm has improved! My realm has improved! Hahahaha, from now on, I will be the number one master in the world! Hahahaha!"

Is it that magical?

Lu Jing was also stunned. Even health products GG wouldn't dare to shoot it like this, right?

Coincidentally, Aunt Wei and Lu Meilang on this table also reached out and opened the manuals in front of them, so Lu Jing also turned his head and glanced at it.

Only to see that it was clearly — blank.
