Chapter 596: Chapter 596: I Am So Poisonous
Hearing Qiu Xiaozhu's plans, Tang Yu felt that it was quite a good idea.
Letting his teacher try to live independently for a while and integrate into society was a good choice.
As for opening a flower shop or something like that, Tang Yu wasn't worried.
Even if she opened a store selling fried chicken butts, Tang Yu could make her a millionaire within a year.
"Alright, I wish my teacher success in her business and to get rich. By then, I'll be the kept man."
Tang Yu said, laughing.
"Thank you for your good wishes."
Qiu Xiaozhu also laughed.
After joking for a while, the two continued diving.
The original plan was to spend a week at sea.
However, the appearance of the Bronze Gate and the issues related to Tang Keke forced Tang Yu to change his plans.
After three days at sea with Qiu Xiaozhu, they returned.
Back home, Tang Yu started making arrangements for Qiu Xiaozhu.
He secured a shop in this coastal city with an excellent location.
Then, he took care of hiring all the necessary staff.
He made sure that, even if his teacher did nothing all day, the business would thrive.
"Teacher, I rented you the shop. As for the house, I rented the one upstairs. If it seems small, I can get you a villa."
After showing Qiu Xiaozhu the shop, which was already fully renovated, Tang Yu took her upstairs to see her new home.
The apartment was a spacious three-bedroom apartment, more than a hundred square meters.
For one person, it was more than enough, though the decoration left something to be desired.
"It's very good, very good. I'll stay with this one."
For Qiu Xiaozhu, who came from a village and was used to living in wooden huts, this modern apartment was more than satisfactory.
"Alright, I also arranged for the supply of goods. The initial capital isn't much, only one billion. Use it for now, and if you need more, someone will bring it to you."
Tang Yu pulled out a black card and handed it to her.
"If you give me so much money, won't I lose my motivation to work hard?"
Now that she understood money's value better, Qiu Xiaozhu opened her eyes wide.
"How about I leave it at ten million? Won't that be too little? I heard even a collectible figure costs ten million now."
Tang Yu also felt he might have given too much.
"What's a collectible figure? Ten million seems like a lot to me."
"Then let's leave it at ten million. Later, I'll ask someone to bring you the card."
After resolving those matters, Tang Yu had lunch with Qiu Xiaozhu before heading back to Su Hang to handle other issues.
It took him a week to take care of everything.
Then, Tang Yu set off for Antarctica.
In Antarctica, everything had been ready for two days.
After unearthing the Bronze Gate, Lu Junzhuo stayed on watch while Zhao Gaoshen studied the gate every day.
When Tang Yu arrived by boat, everyone stood up and greeted him:
"Youth Tang."
"Good work, everyone. This month, the bonus will be ten times last year's end-of-year bonus."
With just those words, Tang Yu made everyone feel like they were in Hawaii, even though they were in Antarctica.
What's that thing about saying something that warms your heart for an entire day?
This was precisely that.
"Youth Tang, long time no see. I'm almost done with my research. Once I finish, I'll come and inform you."
Zhao Gaoshen was so fascinated by the Bronze Gate that he barely paid attention to Tang Yu before returning to his research.
Tang Yu nodded with a smile and then looked at Lu Junzhuo.
That guy, with nothing better to do, had found a stick somewhere and was provoking penguins to fight each other.
Seeing Tang Yu, Lu Junzhuo squatted down and smiled:
"Youth Tang, would you like to come and play for a while? I found these penguins pretty interesting."
"Interesting how?"
"A few days ago, I came across one that was talking."
"And what did it say?"
"It asked me if I wanted to top up my Q-coins. I was so scared that I kicked the water and haven't seen it since."
Tang Yu burst out laughing and squatted down to play with Lu Junzhuo.
"Youth Tang, are you going in there?"
After chatting for a while, Lu Junzhuo suddenly asked.
"Yes, I'm going in. If I don't return in a while, I'll leave it to you to take care of everything here."
Tang Yu nodded.
"What could happen?"
Lu Junzhuo shrugged nonchalantly. Now that the Tang family had connections with the national team, no one dared mess with them.
Even the internet tycoons who used to show off a few years ago now didn't even dare to make noise.
"By the way, Youth Tang, may I ask what's behind the Bronze Gate?"
Lu Junzhuo's curiosity was uncontrollable.
"There might be a man with an ancient golden-black sword."
"Golden-black sword?"
"I'm joking."
Tang Yu lit a cigarette, took a drag, and replied: "It's another world."
Lu Junzhuo was about to ask what kind of world it was when Zhao Gaoshen suddenly shouted excitedly:
"Youth Tang, I found out how to open the gate!"
Tang Yu immediately stood up and ran towards him, with Lu Junzhuo following.
Zhao Gaoshen explained the mechanism of the gate.
The lock was a complicated mechanism that combined the arts of Qimen Dunjia.
If it weren't for Zhao Gaoshen's experience, he would have never been able to decipher it.
"Leave it to me."
Tang Yu slowly activated the mechanism of the Bronze Gate following Zhao Gaoshen's instructions.
When he completed the procedure, a series of cracks were heard from inside the gate.
As everyone eagerly awaited to see what was on the other side, the Bronze Gate suddenly opened, and a huge truck shot out from inside.
Tang Yu was struck head-on, and both he and the truck and the Bronze Gate vanished immediately.
All that remained on the glacier was a huge crater...
And Tang Yu's last scream:
"Shit!"
Everyone stared at each other, stunned.
What the hell was a truck doing inside the Bronze Gate?
Then, everyone looked at Lu Junzhuo.
"Youth Tang has a plan. Don't worry. From now on, organize shifts of twenty-four hours to monitor the area."
Lu Junzhuo, who had spoken with Tang Yu earlier, wasn't very worried.
Tang Yu had said there was another world behind the gate.
He definitely had a plan.
However, Tang Yu hadn't planned for the interdimensional transport truck to run him over and take him immediately.
When he came to, he found himself in a small village surrounded by mountains and crystal-clear rivers.
. His first impression was that the spiritual energy in this place was incredibly dense.
In this environment, any ancient martial artist could reach the Celestial Realm sooner or later, as long as they weren't an idiot.
But the world of cultivation and urban life were not comparable concepts.
After calming down, he took out his phone to check...
As expected, there was no signal.
"Grandmother, what do I do now? Could you give me a hint about the plot?"
In this unknown place, Tang Yu could only ask his little girl from the Divine Tree for help.
The little girl of the Divine Tree waved her hand from the Sacred Tree's space.
She sent Tang Yu the story adjustments.
The place he was in was called the Nine Heavens Continent.
A similar name can be found in countless cultivation and fantasy novels.
The leveling system was quite traditional: Qi refining, foundation, golden core, advancing.
There were also all the typical archetypes: master alchemists, blacksmiths, swordsmen, and others.
The protagonist also followed the classic trope of the good-for-nothing.
First, everyone thought he was a supreme genius.
Then, for some reason, he became useless, and everyone trampled on him.
And in the end, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west, don't underestimate the poor young man."
After reading all those adjustments, Tang Yu finally integrated into this world.
"So, what chapter am I in now?"
Tang Yu worried about the most important question.
"The Tang Dog held the opponent's Heavenly Dao. The two are fighting each other. I found a way to send you a month before the timeline of the first chapter."
The little girl of the Divine Tree explained.
If it weren't for the fact that he had just arrived and might be watched by some mysterious force,
Tang Yu would have given her a ten-minute kiss.
This was too well-planned.
With enough time to prepare, he could get organized.
After clearing everything up with the little girl of the Divine Tree,
Tang Yu remembered another extremely important question.
"If I stay here for decades, what will happen to my family back there?"
"Small problem, the speed of time between the two worlds is different, at a ratio of a thousand to one."
"Then it's fine."
Confirming that he wouldn't return home to find his loved ones dead of old age,
Tang Yu finally calmed down and prepared to borrow some things from a house.
The village he was in was called Huang Village, located at the southern tip of the Nine Heavens Continent.
Tang Yu found a small landowner's house, entered, borrowed some silver coins and similar items, and also changed his clothes.
With his personal image slightly improved,
and now perfectly integrated as one of the locals,
Tang Yu left the village and headed for the city.
Since he had physically arrived in this world and had no identity,
he first had to find a cultivator sect and sneak in.
Just as he arrived at the entrance of Huang Village,
he saw two young men in Taoist robes and swords on their backs approaching from a distance.
Just by their attitude and presence,
Tang Yu could guess with his toes that they were cultivators.
With the intention of going unnoticed, Tang Yu lowered his head and tried to sneak past.
But from a distance, one of them angrily shouted at him:
"Ignorant mortal! Don't you know to step aside and pay your respects, and yet you dare walk toward us?"
The other snorted coldly: "Disrespect toward immortals! You deserve to die!"
With that, both of them charged at Tang Yu furiously.
"What the hell is wrong with them?! I didn't do anything, and they're already coming to kill me!"
Seeing that they wanted to kill him without reason,
Tang Yu cursed and started running.
In his previous world, with his Celestial-level strength, level 3, he was one of the strongest.
But here, that level wasn't even comparable to the lowest level of Qi refining.
The two cultivators saw Tang Yu running fast and showed expressions of disdain.
That so-called martial master among mortals, to them, was no more than an insect barely larger.
Once you step onto the path of immortality, you're no longer the same species as them!
The two easily caught up with him and grabbed his shoulders.
When Tang Yu felt their hands on his shoulders and was about to curse them,
he suddenly noticed that the cultivators' hands were beginning to blacken.
Both of them realized it as well.
One reacted quickly, released his hand, and took a step back, shouting: "This guy has an innate poisonous body!"
The other was a little slower.
When he released his hand,
it was already completely black.
He fell to the ground and went straight to meet Buddha.
The one left wasn't much better.
Seeing the poison spreading up his arm,
he gritted his teeth and cut off his arm with his sword.
With that, he managed to stop the poison from spreading.
Sitting on the ground, pale, he looked at Tang Yu with terror and pleaded:
"Sir, have mercy. We are disciples of the Divine Sword Sect. If you kill me, my sect won't forgive you."
"You're pretty tough, huh?"
Seeing that he cut off his arm without blinking,
Tang Yu thought that the logic of these cultivators was quite different.
"Sir, I'm not joking. Please have mercy. I promise I won't tell my sect anything. I'll say it was a demonic cultivator I didn't know."
The cultivator desperately begged.
Tang Yu thought for a moment.
Then he understood:
The poison came from the bacteria and viruses of his world, which didn't exist here.
Since these two weren't very strong, they couldn't resist and fell immediately.
"Alright. But I've just arrived here, and I have some questions."
While rummaging through the other guy's corpse,
he asked about the nearby sects.
After a brief chat, he got the information he wanted.
It turned out that this guy was from the Divine Sword Sect,
a small group with little fame, with only twenty or thirty members.
He was only at the early stage of Qi refining.
They had come here by chance to try their luck in the Cloud City.
The disciple recruitment ceremony of the Seven Great Sects was approaching, held once every ten years.
If they managed to get accepted, they would instantly become major figures.
"I see."
With the information in hand, Tang Yu pounced on him and grabbed his neck.
In a few breaths, the poor guy was dead, poisoned.
"Trash."
After looting the bodies, Tang Yu found some lower-grade spirit stones.
According to this world's system, one of those was worth a hundred taels of silver.
With that in his pocket, Tang Yu considered himself part of the middle class.
"The Seven Great Sects looking for disciples, huh?"
Muttering to himself,
Tang Yu headed toward Cloud City.
First, he had to find a great sect to hop on board!
