Holding the jade bottle with its lid already loose, Tang Yu knew that its power was now like that of a wasp, harmless after it had stung. Tang Yu was extremely excited, his heart racing, his hands trembling, hesitating to open the lid of the jade bottle. He did not know from whose tomb this jade bottle had come, but since it was designed with such intricate mechanisms, the owner of the tomb must have been extraordinary.

After a moment of hesitation, Tang Yu steeled himself and carefully unscrewed the lid of the jade bottle. With a "click," the lid opened, and suddenly, Tang Yu smelled a strong, peculiar fragrance. This scent invigorated him, making him feel refreshed and revitalized. Tang Yu quickly looked inside and saw three smooth, round pills of red, yellow, and blue, along with a small note. Tang Yu's breathing became rapid, and he looked at the pills and the note with great shock, eager to take them out.

The three pills were smooth and glossy, and even inadvertently, Tang Yu felt the energy fluctuations around them. He carefully placed the pills on the table and then pulled out the note. Upon unfolding it, he was fortunate to find that the writing was in standard regular script. Some of the characters were in ancient script, which Tang Yu did not recognize, but most were familiar. The content was roughly as follows: If you can see this note, it means you are very lucky and have a connection with me. Now, let me introduce these three pills. The red pill is the Bone-Washing and Marrow-Cleansing Pill. After taking it, your entire body, from bones to skin, meridians, and acupoints, will be cleansed and elevated, expelling toxins and making you immune to all poisons. At the same time, your senses will be greatly enhanced.

The yellow pill is a martial technique. As the saying goes, "In the world of martial arts, speed is invincible." This technique is called the "Wind and Cloud Technique." It has four levels: Swift Walk, Wind Step, Cloud Ladder, and Wind and Cloud. After taking the pill, an ordinary person will automatically advance to the Swift Walk level, with a speed about five to six times that of a normal person. The next three levels require long-term cultivation. The cultivation method is stored within the pill.

The blue pill, the largest of the three, is called the Medicine Sage Pill. It contains all the medical knowledge and techniques I have learned and compiled, including rare and complex diseases. I hope that whoever obtains this pill can carry on my legacy and benefit future generations.

At the bottom was a note: These three pills are the result of my lifelong efforts. They must be taken together, as they can balance each other to prevent a fatal explosion. After all, these three pills are extremely potent, and after taking them, there will be some side effects, but they will not be fatal.

After translating the yellowed paper in his mind, Tang Yu was completely stunned, his mind blank with shock!

Bone-Washing and Marrow-Cleansing? Wind and Cloud Technique? Medicine Sage? What the heck is this?

Is this real?

This is too bizarre, right?

If it's really as described, then Tang Yu would be in for a windfall. What kind of abilities would he gain after taking the three pills? But Tang Yu dared not take them, what if they were poison?

Was this an ancient prank?

But what if it's real?

Tang Yu now began to consider whether he should take the three pills. If it's real, he would be set for life, but if not, he might lose his life.

Is it worth the risk?

"Damn it. I'll take the risk. What's the worst that can happen? So many people die every day, what's there to fear? Besides, if it's real, I'll be a big winner!" Tang Yu instantly made up his mind. He put the note and the jade bottle away first; these were antiques that could fetch a high price if sold.

After putting them away, Tang Yu looked at the red, yellow, and blue pills, holding them in his hand. The pill's fragrance was invigorating and refreshing.

After a moment of hesitation, Tang Yu suddenly swallowed them.

To his surprise, after entering his mouth, the three pills immediately disappeared, transforming into three streams of cool energy that entered his stomach. Tang Yu was overjoyed, realizing they were not the poison he had feared. Could this be real?

"Ah!" In an instant, Tang Yu felt his body burst into flames, as if three fires were burning inside him, making him unbearably hot, especially in certain areas, which seemed to crave an outlet for the heat.

In a short time, Tang Yu's clothes were drenched in sweat, and his mind lost rationality. He clawed at his clothes wildly, sweat dripping continuously. The three flames converged, burning Tang Yu's body, as if releasing their dissatisfaction at being swallowed, trying to consume him in return!

Tang Yu rolled on the ground, repeatedly shouting that he was burning, in great pain.

"Click!" At this moment, the door opened.

"Ah!" Seeing Tang Yu rolling on the ground, Liu Xin's face turned pale.

"Tang Yu, Tang Yu, what's wrong with you!" Liu Xin rushed to Tang Yu, who was rolling on the ground, panic-stricken. She didn't understand why Tang Yu had suddenly become like this.

Liu Xin knelt down and touched Tang Yu's skin, almost getting burned. Tang Yu felt the cool, soft hands of Liu Xin and could hear her urgent calls. He struggled, his eyes slightly opening, and suddenly saw Liu Xin's anxious face. A strong impulse surged in his heart. But at this moment, Tang Yu still retained a bit of rationality, knowing he must not, but the fire in his body, like a demon, controlled his actions. Suddenly, Tang Yu reached out and pushed Liu Xin to the ground.

"Ah..." Liu Xin, who had been about to call 120, was pushed to the ground before she could even take out her phone.

Liu Xin's face turned pale, and she was greatly alarmed. What was Tang Yu doing? She saw the fiery look in his eyes as he lunged at her. Liu Xin knew something was seriously wrong and instinctively tried to dodge backward. She shouted, "Tang Yu, come to your senses, I'm your Sister Xin..."

But the bit of rationality Tang Yu had could not overcome the energy in his body. He quickly lunged at Liu Xin, who was crawling backward.

"Ah!" Liu Xin's foot was grabbed by Tang Yu, and her high heel was pulled off. Liu Xin was terrified; the Tang Yu before her was not the Tang Yu she knew, but a devil trying to grab her.

Liu Xin, on the verge of tears, struggled to move backward, but Tang Yu's speed was faster.
