Chapter 513: Book Presentation at the Door
There is a vast swamp with surging black water. This is where the Ten Thousand Poisons Secret Shop is located. No one is allowed to approach.

When Lu Zhigang followed Du Wuyao in, it was like entering a maze. He took many detours before finding the entrance.

Under normal circumstances, if you enter this swamp without any introduction, you will only end up dead.

Being trapped in the swamp and dying of hunger would be one thing, but there are often vicious people who practice poison palm techniques and capture people to test their poisons, so the environment is not very friendly.

Lu Zhigang's projection fell from the sky and landed deep in the Wandu Secret Shop.

This time he did not take the usual route, but instead used the help of the panel to directly project himself into the depths of the sect.

The place he chose was the most forbidden place deep in the swamp, Du Taiyue's palace.

"Who dares to break into the palace? Are you tired of living?"

"Capture him and throw him into the poison pool of the insect nest. He dares to offend the ancestor. It's a luxury to want to die a quick death."

In front of Du Taiyue's palace, there are always trusted disciples guarding and patrolling, and they will immediately go crazy when they see Zhou You appear.

There was a big loophole in security, and someone actually broke into the palace, causing a huge commotion.

It is conceivable that when Du Taiyue finds out, he will be furious.

These trusted disciples all knew the old ancestor's temper. They were horrified at the thought of punishment and wished they could die early and be reborn.

At this moment, it was Zhou You's main thought that controlled this vest. Seeing this, he said loudly, "Disciple Lu Zhigang wants to see the ancestor. I have a treasure to offer. If it is false, I am willing to bear all the consequences."

As soon as these words were spoken, the disciples stopped in their tracks. The weight of these words was more powerful than any oath.

The Wan Du Secret Shop started out by making poisonous weapons, and various punishments are based on this. Their cruelty and misery are even worse than being beaten with swords and axes.

People who are poisoned or tortured often seek death but are unable to do so. Their appearance is horrible and life is worse than death.

Zhou You dared to boast that he would bear all the consequences. It was obvious that he was willing to risk his life and property to meet Du Taiyue.

Suddenly, a disciple recognized Lu Zhigang and asked, "Weren't you following Fu Manlun to escort Wawa Zhong to the front line? Why did you turn back halfway?"

"By the way, could it be that your treasure is..."

For a moment, the atmosphere around became tense, and many disciples looked greedy.

There aren't many treasures that can make Du Taiyue excited. Combined with the background of the current Wu tribe invasion, the answer is obvious...

Apart from the Book of Transformation, what other treasure could be used to make Lu Zhigang bear the crime of deserting the battlefield and breaking into the palace?
Many of the disciples present were high-level martial artists, whose seniority was even higher than that of Fu Manlun, and they were immediately filled with enthusiasm.

"Quick, give it to me, I'll give it to the ancestor for you."

More than one disciple reached out his trembling hands and ordered Zhou You to hand the things to him.

Zhou You took a few steps back and took a defensive stance, "I want to hand the things over to the ancestor myself."

Which line of this?
The disciples guarding the palace are all Du Taiyue's confidants and have natural advantages. They would never take him, a low-level disciple, seriously.

Relying on their status, they were determined to plunder Zhou You's treasures and seize the credit.

"Grandfather, Grandfather, I risked my life to snatch this treasure, but someone wants to take it for himself. Please help me, Grandfather, to be fair!"

All the trusted disciples turned pale when they heard this. If they alarmed Du Taiyue, they would all be in trouble.

They released poisonous spirits and poisonous insects, which came like a tide and were about to drown Zhou Zhouyou.

Zhou You shouted, "Ancestor, no one can understand this except me."

"Don't you want to know how I got it and how I was sure of it?"

As soon as these words came out, the gate of the palace opened, and a big hand stretched out and flew into the air, grabbing the disciple closest to Zhou You and squeezing him into a bloody mess.

"Everyone step back, let Lu Zhigang come in." The trusted disciples knelt on the ground, and faced with this huge hand, they were silent as a cicada, no one dared to move, and they no longer had the arrogance and pride just now.

Zhou You thought to himself that as expected, Du Taiyue had been awake the entire time and had a complete view of everything that happened in front of the palace.

He didn't care before because he believed that Zhou You had no value. The treasure was already in front of him, so it didn't matter who presented it to him.

It wasn't until Zhou You spoke out and demonstrated his worth that he intervened.

Zhou You put his clothes in order and walked up the stairs. He noticed his trusted disciples kneeling around him. Although they did not look up too much, the resentment and hatred emanating from them were very obvious.

Obviously, Zhou You's actions this time offended all these people.

The palace was pitch black, with many uniquely shaped copper lamps standing there. Upon closer inspection, one could see that the bases of these copper lamps were in the shapes of poisonous snakes, scorpions and other poisonous insects, and were extremely delicately crafted.

"Gulp, gulp!"

A familiar voice was heard, and the sound of a deadly poison being extracted in a cauldron came from a deep, dark corner.

Zhou You was wondering where Du Taiyue was when a colorful poisonous light suddenly appeared in front of him.

He realized that the poisonous light was exactly the same as that used by the baby cup to destroy the witch flag, and he quickly covered his eyes.

"The ancestor's poisonous light can be controlled freely. If he wants, he can avoid hurting anyone. This is to illuminate you."

A voice sounded from a hundred steps in front of him, and a five-color rainbow light fell, and a large bronze tripod emerged from the darkness.

Du Taiyue was sitting on the big cauldron. He looked like a middle-aged man in his thirties, mature but not old. The gloomy palace was filled with a warm atmosphere. He had nothing to do with the old poisonous creature imagined by outsiders.

Zhou You's gaze fell on his palm. It was this hand that pinched the air just now, and the senior martial artist turned into blood on the spot.

"Ancestor, if you have any treasures to offer, please bring them up here again!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou You stepped forward quickly and took out the stone tablet from his arms, "Old Ancestor, this is the Huasheng Wanmiao Book that Wu Luoye stole from the Zhongxi Tribe. I have read it, and it is the original copy."

Du Taiyue raised his hand and the stone tablet fell into his hand. He squinted at it for a few seconds and looked up, "Well, do you understand it?"

"In my early years, I crossed the northern border and fought with witches. I learned totems without a teacher."

Hearing this, Du Taiyue's eyes showed satisfaction, "Good, talented person!"

He pointed at the stone tablet and said, "The Book of Transformation has been transformed into millions of books, which are scattered among the tribes. This is a part of it. Although it is the original, it is also a fragment. It has value, but its value is limited."

He looked Zhou You up and down, "If you can get the complete book, based on your merit, I will take you in as my adopted son, placing you above all other disciples, and in the future, I will pass on the foundation of the Ten Thousand Poisons Secret Workshop to you."

"It's a pity that it's just a fragment, um..."

Du Taiyue pointed at Zhou You and said, "You actually know about totems. They are very useful to me and are worth more than this stone slab."

"From now on, you are one of my thirty-eight inner disciples, qualified to guard the palace for me and serve me personally."

The inner disciples were the trusted disciples who were guarding the palace just now.

Zhou You jumped from a low-level disciple to an inner disciple, which was equivalent to a general in Dayin Mountain being directly promoted to a brave general.

"By the way, you have always been good friends with Du Wuyao, why didn't you come back with him this time?"

Du Taiyue asked suddenly, causing Zhou You to break out in a cold sweat.

How does this old man know everything? Could it be that he has spies everywhere in the sect?

Zhou You pretended to be sad, "Brother Du plotted against me, and I killed him."

"Okay, to do great things, you must sacrifice a lot. Lu Zhigang, you can make one request after you become my disciple."
