Chapter 180: Chapter 0180 Breakthrough, Martial Artist Eight-star!

Tang Ming faintly smiled, opened his mouth, and the man from the Poison Sect leaned in to take a close look inside Tang Ming’s mouth, ensuring there was nothing inside before saying, "In less than half a minute, you will get to experience every agony in the world of the living."

The auctioneer looked at Tang Ming, asking, "Why haven’t you taken the detoxification pill yet? Do not wait until it is too late!"

"No need, I had taken a detoxification pill earlier, which is enough. As long as it is taken within a day, any poison encountered can be neutralized; that’s the most magical part about detoxification pills."

Tang Ming said.

Upon hearing this, the people from the Tie Family were instantly overjoyed, having snagged a good treasure, while the man who hadn’t secured it was intensely regretful, realizing the detoxification pill’s effect equated to being invulnerable to all poisons for a day.

A few minutes later, seeing that Tang Ming was completely fine, the man from the Poison Sect couldn’t help but ask, "Aren’t you feeling as if a thousand arrows are piercing your heart right now?"

Tang Ming smiled and shook his head, "I’m feeling quite comfortable actually."

The man, infuriated, turned a shade of iron blue, and after waiting another minute he asked again, "Don’t you feel like thousands of worms are eating your bones right now?"

"I still feel very comfortable."

Tang Ming continued smiling.

Another minute passed, and the man asked again, "Don’t you have any discomfort at all?"

"I do."

Tang Ming nodded.

The man was thrilled, laughing, "Ha ha, it finally took effect. You are a formidable martial artist, but even martial energy can’t suppress the Myriad Poison Pill."

"That’s not it, I mean that seeing you makes me feel a bit uncomfortable, as you keep asking me nonsensical questions."

Tang Ming explained earnestly.

The man went mad, directly saying, "You must be using some cultivation technique to suppress the toxicity of the Myriad Poison Pill. You can’t just stand there, try walking a few steps."

"Alright, to satisfy your demand."

Tang Ming walked a few steps and even jumped around, "Is that satisfactory now?"

"No, that can’t be right, combining walking and jumping, with unstable breathing, it’s impossible to steadily apply a cultivation technique to suppress the effect completely. What is really happening here?"

The man was on the verge of collapsing and asked again, "You surely don’t have any energy left now, right?"

"I have plenty of energy left, enough to kick you down."

Tang Ming said, lifting his leg with a smile.

"Hmpf!"

The man, his face an iron shade of blue, knew further questioning would only add to the mockery, could only silently slip away down below, while Tang Ming cheerfully said, "Actually, this Myriad Poison Pill is quite potent; it just happened to meet its match with the detoxification pill."

After finishing, Tang Ming also stepped down from the stage, leaving the crowd below astounded by the strength of the detoxification pill.

Upon sitting down, Tang Ming immediately felt the toxicity stirring inside his body, signaling signs of a breakthrough. He slowly closed his eyes, appearing to doze off, but in fact, he was discreetly using cultivation to breakthrough.

This Myriad Poison Pill was so potent that it directly pushed Tang Ming to the verge of a cultivation breakthrough, which was why he went to all lengths to consume this poison!

Of course, if it hadn’t been for the show-off behavior of the Poison Sect, he wouldn’t have spent a dime.

Seeing Tang Ming feigning sleep, Su Xiaoxi nudged his arm, asking, "Hey, Tang Ming, do you still have any detoxification pills?"

Tang Ming didn’t move, his entire body in a state resembling death, which was the most dangerous time since anybody could kill him easily now.

"Hey, I’m talking to you?"

Su Xiaoxi, seeing Tang Ming ignoring her, became somewhat angry.

Liu Gaoze had been watching Tang Ming and noticed that something was off, so he promptly warned, "Don’t touch him, he seems to be cultivating right now."

"Oh."

Su Xiaoxi stuck out her tongue and didn’t dare to disturb Tang Ming anymore.

Half an hour later, the auction was drawing to a close. Although some nice items had appeared, it seemed that more significant items would only be available tomorrow. At that time, Tang Ming slowly opened his eyes; he felt that his strength had greatly increased, and his power had surged rapidly. Upon careful examination, his cultivation had actually broken through to an eight-star martial artist, advancing by an entire level!

Seeing Tang Ming refreshed and awake, Su Xiaoxi quietly asked, "You were okay just now, right?"

"It’s all good now,"

Tang Ming smiled.

"Oh, right, are you perhaps a disciple sent down by a major sect for experience?"

Su Xiaoxi asked curiously.

"Why do you ask?"

Tang Ming said, puzzled.

"Otherwise, how could you be so incredible and have elixirs that can detoxify any poison? I heard from my dad that only the major sects have such things. Poison Sect is a major sect, so the poisons they make are so powerful and well-known. But you’re not even afraid of their Myriad Poison Pill, you must have an even bigger background, why don’t you tell me?"

Su Xiaoxi probed persistently.

"I’m definitely not from a major sect, you can be sure of that,"

Tang Ming shook his head.

"Then why are you so powerful and yet work as a bodyguard for the Liu Family?"

Su Xiaoxi asked again, "Are you perhaps on some secretive mission?"

"Don’t overthink it, girl. I’m not that mysterious, I’m just a bodyguard. As for the detoxification pill, it was given to me by a master, and I only have two of them."

Tang Ming fibbed, trying to quench Su Xiaoxi’s curiosity.

"Liar, I don’t believe you."

Su Xiaoxi shook her head and ignored Tang Ming, but she was filled with interest towards this mysterious man.

As the auctioneer announced the end of the auction, the first day of the auction came to a successful conclusion. The star item originally planned for today was the Poison Sect’s Myriad Poison Pill, but no one expected that it would be eaten by Tang Ming, the disruptor. Instead, the elixir he brought, which could detoxify any poison, became the star item of the day.

The person who bought it was, of course, thrilled, while those who didn’t manage to purchase were extremely disappointed. Many had already planned to find Tang Ming to inquire if he had more detoxification pills.

After the auction ended, under a big tree outside the venue, several members of the Poison Sect were discussing matters with gloomy expressions.

One of the elderly men was Long Duba, about sixty years old, with silver hair. He looked fearsome and intimidating.

This time he came with his junior fellow, Mei Dufeng, who was the one who had clashed with Tang Ming. Besides, he brought two younger disciples to experience the auction as well.

Both disciples were orphans, named Long Yi and Long Er, adopted by Long Duba since childhood. They were both fearful and reverent towards their master.

Seeing his senior fellow’s displeasing expression and recalling the Myriad Poison Pill eaten by Tang Ming at the auction, Mei Dufeng worriedly said, "Senior fellow, the Myriad Poison Pill was eaten by that boy. We not only failed to make its name famous, but we also didn’t bring back a single penny. I’m afraid we’ll be blamed if we return to the sect like this."

"Being blamed is a minor issue. Our Myriad Poison Pill is a new poison we developed over the last two years, initially intended to make our sect’s name known. But it was neutralized by that unknown kid, which is a major issue for our sect."

Long Duba sighed.
