Taoist Master Leaves the Mountains: All My Senior Sisters Love Me

Mr. Lu was very clear that Wang Ye's skills were certainly not lacking. If he drank first, what would he do if he couldn't counteract Wang Ye's poison?

If he couldn't neutralize the poison, then Wang Ye wouldn't even need to take his medicine and could declare victory immediately.

"Mr. Lu, please!" Wang Ye urged with an indifferent expression.

Since He Lei and the others wanted to play, Wang Ye didn't mind playing along.

"Mr. Lu, since you chose to start, please go ahead!" the referee urged as well.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Lu gave the referee a complex look. Wasn't the referee supposed to be on the same side as him? Why was he helping Wang Ye instead?

But by this point, he knew he had to adapt to the situation.

"Hahaha! Fine, then I'll go first." Mr. Lu suddenly laughed out loud, taking the medicine Wang Ye had prepared in his hands.

Then, he swallowed it in one go.

However, no one noticed that when Mr. Lu swallowed the medicine, he was also holding something else in his hand. It was an inconspicuous object, the size of a soybean, black, and seemingly alive.

Although the others didn't see it, Wang Ye saw it very clearly. Although he had never seen it before, he had heard of it.

It was known as gu, a particularly deadly item cultivated using special methods found in some ethnic minority areas, said to kill a person indirectly.

Now that Mr. Lu had ingested it, it seemed to be a counteraction against the poison that Wang Ye had created. After all, the gu worm was cultivated by being fed very poisonous substances, so it could provide a certain immunity to poison.

Moreover, the more skilled a gu master, the more potent the cultivated gu.

Mr. Lu's actions definitely constituted cheating.

However, Wang Ye didn't expose him outright because that would be difficult. The inconspicuous gu worm, never having been seen before and now ingested, would prove complicated even if investigated.

For now, they could only wait and see how things unfolded.

At this moment, Mr. Lu had already taken the medicine. However, he showed no change or signs of poisoning. Nobody knew whether he was not poisoned or if the poison Wang Ye had concocted was non-toxic.

Only Wang Ye knew the reason.

Mr. Lu was also aware that things weren't that straightforward.

The poison that Wang Ye had created was a slow-acting one that wouldn't take effect immediately but would explode after a few minutes.

Before then, if not detoxified, the poison would become very difficult to cure.

So he couldn't afford to delay and hurried to the herb area to prepare the antidote he needed.

Within two minutes, Mr. Lu had selected over twenty different herbs, nearly all of which were the same as those Wang Ye had used to prepare his poison.

Because Mr. Lu knew that the toxicity of Wang Ye's poison was generated through the interaction of these herbs. Now, by changing the sequence of the concoction, he could develop an antidote. However, this sequence needed to be carefully considered.

After all, the method Wang Ye used in his preparation was extremely complex and not something that could be figured out in just a moment.

Below the stage, the audience was watching very seriously. Every action of Mr. Lu was under their scrutiny.

"What's going on with Mr. Lu? Why doesn't he show any signs of being poisoned, not even a change in complexion?"

"Right! Is Wang Ye's poison ineffective?"

"Maybe, but I don't think so. In a master's duel, the outcome often lies in the details. Even though we don't see any change, they themselves surely know."

"Yes, that makes sense. I also believe Mr. Lu has already been poisoned, it's just that we can't see it."

While the crowd was discussing, on the stage, Mr. Lu was already preparing the antidote. After adding a few herbs, he continued to grind them while adding new ones. He was very cautious with each herb he put in.

Moreover, the sequence in which he added the herbs was carefully considered before being settled.

Soon, the antidote Mr. Lu was preparing began to take shape, but at that moment, his face started to turn red.

The audience below thought Mr. Lu's red face was due to fatigue, but only Mr. Lu knew that this was the poison inside him beginning to take effect.

If he didn't prepare the antidote in time, the toxicity would worsen, and eventually, he would pass out.

In that case, he would lose outright.

Fortunately, the gu worm helped significantly to delay the onset of the toxicity. Otherwise, he would have already passed out by now.

"Can Mr. Lu handle it? I've never seen him take so long to prepare an antidote," Yang Junsheng said, worriedly speaking to He Lei.

He Lei took a deep breath, his face showing a hint of anxiety.

"Yes, I know Mr. Lu's abilities better than anyone. If even he can't prepare an antidote, then probably no one can! However, given his current state, he should be fine," He Lei tried to stay calm.

"Sigh, Mr. Lu should have just let Wang Ye drink first during the critical moment," Zhou Tianhao muttered.

"Shut up!" Yang Junsheng snapped.

Meanwhile, Fang Feifei and Chen Li looked worried too.

"Divine Doctor Wang's medicine is indeed formidable! Mr. Lu hasn't been able to prepare the antidote for so long," Tan Long said, seeming quite relaxed.

"Things aren't that simple, that Mr. Lu cheated secretly," Chen Li also noticed the moment Mr. Lu swallowed the gu.

As it was broadcast live on the big screen, anyone paying close attention could see it.

"Really? He cheated? What did he do?" Fang Feifei immediately asked.

"He used a gu worm to detoxify!"

"Gu worm? What's that?"

Tan Long and Fang Feifei didn't know what it was.

"It's hard to explain, but basically, it's something highly toxic but also capable of combating toxicity. If he hadn't had that thing, Mr. Lu would have been too deeply poisoned by now."

"So that's it, no way, I must expose them," Fang Feifei said, intending to stand up.

Chen Li quickly stopped her, "No, you can't expose it, it's too covert, we don't have any concrete evidence!"

Just then, on the stage, Mr. Lu had just finished preparing the antidote.

The referee saw Mr. Lu raise his hand and immediately pressed the stopwatch.

At the same time, Mr. Lu hurriedly swallowed the antidote in his hand.

In that moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on Mr. Lu.
