I am a master of both medicine and martial arts; after my release from prison, I will dominate the w

Everyone kept rubbing their eyes, still thinking they must be seeing things.

Normally, eight graceful young women would surely have stirred the hearts of a group of powerful figures, but at this moment, they were not even worthy of being called supporting characters.

Each of them had a tray neatly arranged with a top-grade True Essence Pill that was completely clear and free of impurities.

"This... is absolutely impossible! How could so many True Essence Pills appear all at once, and all of them be top-grade?"

Questions began to grow.

Just then, Hua Xiyue's moon-white dress swept across the ground like flowing clouds and gracefully landed on the stage.

Her cool gaze swept over the clamor below the stage, and her delicate hand gently touched the edge of the tray containing the True Essence Pills.

"I am Hua Xiyue from the Hua family of Shanghai. All these pills are top-grade True Essence Pills. If anyone has any doubts, they'd better give me a reasonable explanation."

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized what was going on.

I had long heard that the Hua family's granddaughter was an ethereal fairy, untouched by worldly concerns, and now that I have met her, she is even more so than the rumors suggest.

With the Hua family as guarantor, the quality of this True Essence Pill is naturally beyond question.

"I never imagined that Old Master Hua's alchemy had reached such a pinnacle."

Amidst the sighs of admiration, the crowd immediately began to scramble for it.

"I want two!"

"I want three!"

For a moment, all the bigwigs in the room forgot about their image and acted like a group of housewives snapping up cabbages at rock-bottom prices.

The manager smiled and gestured with his hand: "Ladies and gentlemen, today we have a total of eighty-eight top-grade True Essence Pills, divided into eight trays. Each tray is priced at one billion."

No sooner had the words been spoken than some quick-thinking individuals rushed forward.

In the end, apart from the Chu family taking one plate, the remaining seven plates were evenly distributed among the bigwigs present.

In the secret room behind Baoyuan Auction House, Chu Yang, drenched in sweat, carefully carried the blushing Lu Sisi to the sofa.

"Girl, are you full now?"

"Mmm, I feel like my whole body is on fire right now, it's so warm and cozy, so comfortable."

Lu Sisi gasped for breath, licking her dry lips repeatedly.

Chu Yang gestured with his chin towards Lin Xiaoman: "What about you? Are you full?"

Lin Xiaoman let out several burps and nodded vigorously.

Hua Xiyue, who had been learning alchemy from Chu Yang the whole time, was completely distraught.

She was most focused on learning and had planned to see how Chu Yang used the Jianlong Cauldron and Yuanlong Cauldron to refine pills in a complementary way.

Unexpectedly, this guy would first channel his rampant yang energy into Lü Sisi's dantian, and then call Lin Xiaoman over for a few kisses.

She even suspected that Chu Yang was taking advantage of the situation.

But an hour later, when the True Essence Pill was produced, she felt as if the sky had fallen.

Not a single pill was defective; in fact, they were all top-grade.

Even though these two dragon cauldrons were no ordinary objects, and even though Chu Yang himself had the advantage of the Extreme Yang Fire, his control over the fire was simply unbelievable, reaching an incredibly subtle level.

She couldn't help but stare intently at Chu Yang, her heart filled with unease.

Perhaps, what happened at Xiao Yuening's house was truly an arrangement by fate.

If any one of the triggering conditions had been missing, given her and Chu Yang's personalities, they would never have ended up together, let alone had that night's events happen.

Chu Yang was also very fortunate to have found the best method of alchemy, and no longer worried that the evil yang energy would cause his yang energy to explode.

As long as Lü Sisi is there, she can absorb his excess yang energy.

He could then use the Dragon Cauldron to refine elixirs without any scruples.

However, Lü Sisi doesn't know how to control it yet, so we need to teach her more mental techniques.

The door was gently pushed open, and Song Min walked into the secret room with a radiant smile.

"Mr. Chu, all the True Essence Pills sold out in less than two minutes. I have already transferred 3 billion to your offshore account."

She extended her fair, delicate hand and shook hands with Chu Yang.

"If you have any more good stuff, please be sure to leave it with me."

Chu Yang asked in confusion, "Didn't we agree that I would receive 2.5 billion?"

Song Min brushed a stray hair behind her ear, her pretty face curving into a charming smile.

"This is my sincere intention in collaborating with Mr. Chu for the first time. Let's be friends first, then do business."

Chu Yang gave a thumbs up, "Great vision! I'll accept it, though, because I love money. But... our verbal agreement..."

"My auction house, Song Min's, is all about reputation. I guarantee that no matter what treasures you sell here in the future, your identity will never be revealed."

As soon as Song Min finished speaking, Hua Xiyue glared at Chu Yang resentfully.

"Now look what's happened. Grandpa's going to have to take the blame for you. Who knows how many people will come knocking on his door begging for the elixirs? He's so old, how can his body take it?"

Chu Yang chuckled: "Isn't this a free labor force? Let the old man take any orders he wants."

Hua Xiyue couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"At least you know what's good for you!"

Just then, the manager rushed in in a panic.

"Something terrible has happened! The young lady who came with Mr. Chu has been injured by the Chu family."

Before he finished speaking, Chu Yang had already disappeared from the spot.

Inside the auction hall, a crowd gathered to watch the spectacle.

Tangtang's blood and qi were disordered, and her arms hung limply, clearly dislocated.

Her face was deathly pale as she was held in Shen Yunwan's arms, but her eyes were filled with hatred as she glared at the middle-aged man in front of her.

Shen Yunwan was so angry that she shouted out.

"The little girl was just being a bit mischievous and said something harmless; why did you have to be so harsh?"

The man, with an arrogant expression, sneered, "Just for insulting the old patriarch, her crime deserves death!"

"I will exterminate your entire family!"

A thunderous shout rang out.

Chu Yang flew over and threw a punch.

Faced with this blow that seemed to carry immense force, the man showed no fear whatsoever, did not even dodge, and even had a mocking smile on his lips.

In that instant, a very inconspicuous, gaunt old man next to them moved!

His movements were faster than the naked eye could perceive; his withered, claw-like right hand flashed towards Chu Yang's pulse point!

Chu Yang thought to himself, "So fast!"

If someone manages to seize your pulse point, that arm will be useless.

He spun in mid-air and kicked the gaunt old man in the ribs with lightning speed.

The old man transformed his claws into fists.

Their fists and feet clashed, their violent true energy evenly matched, producing a metallic sound that made the eardrums of those around them ache.

The old man stumbled back three steps, and the blue bricks on the ground cracked inch by inch.

Chu Yang used the momentum to flip in mid-air, his clothes fluttering, and landed gracefully three zhang away. He released his violent rage, and the cold light in his eyes intensified.

The gaunt old man shook his numb, withered claws, his eagle eyes flashing with sharp light, and he spoke in a hoarse voice:

"Do you still recognize this old man?"

Chu Yang merely glanced at the old man with a noticeable scar between his eyebrows and then scoffed.

"Go Seok-beom, my father is soft-hearted and only gave you a scar. Now you still have the nerve to stand in front of me and gloat?"

Gao Xifan laughed loudly a few times: "Arrogant brat! If your father were still alive, I could wipe him out with a flick of my wrist! What your father owed me back then, it's time for you to pay me back."

Chu Yang gave him the middle finger, then quickly walked up to Shen Yunwan and ran his hands over Tangtang's knuckles.

Tangtang, who hadn't uttered a sound just moments before, burst into tears like a bullied child seeing their parents.

Chu Yang quickly comforted him, "It's okay! I'll heal you right away."

He had barely finished speaking when he heard a mocking voice behind him: "Heh, a toad sneezing, what a big mouth."

"This is my Lü family's 'Bone-Cleaving Hand Technique,' do you think you can save her? This ignorant girl will never be able to use her hands again."

Chu Yang turned around and carefully examined the man, who was probably in his thirties.

"Are you Ko Seok-beom's son?"

"That's right! My name is Gao Jin, and I'm the one who crippled this girl just now. What can you do about it?"

Gao Jin looked at Chu Yang with a mocking gaze and a provocative expression.
