New email?

Lu Xuan's brows jumped wildly. "What's going on? I just had the thought of selling the eyeball, and another email arrived?"
Could it be that he had made the wrong choice again?
Could selling an eyeball cost him his life?
Puzzled, Lu Xuan opened the new email.
[I am Lu Xuan. By the time you see these words, I will already be dead...]
[On May 6, I obtained a golden eyeball while cleaning out a monster warehouse.]
[I searched online for relevant information.]
[One post explained that golden eyeballs were Qi and Blood Golden Elixirs condensed by some Beast Lord level monsters or Martial Dao Grandmasters, containing the true meaning of the Dao.]
[If an ordinary person swallowed one, it could cleanse the body and refine the marrow, granting a Grandmaster or monster inheritance, but the risk of death was as high as ninety-nine percent.]
[Grandmaster inheritance: martial comprehension, making cultivation twice as effective!]
[Monster inheritance: Beast Lord level monsters possessed special abilities, such as super recovery, berserk strength, and increased qi and blood and combat power.]
[If a martial artist swallowed one, their cultivation would advance a thousand miles a day, allowing them to reach the Grandmaster level without hindrance. However, it would affect their own Dao, and they would very likely be unable to advance beyond the Martial Dao Grandmaster realm.]
[For sale, starting at one billion Federal Coins!]
[When I learned this news, I was incredibly excited.]
[Whether swallowed or sold, the Qi and Blood Golden Elixir was a guaranteed-profit deal, yet it also put me in a terrible dilemma.]
[Swallow it, and survive nine deaths out of ten.]
[Sell it, and invite disaster by possessing a treasure.]
[On May 7, I stared blankly at the Qi and Blood Golden Elixir.]
[On May 8, I decided to sell the Qi and Blood Golden Elixir.
The temptation of one billion Federal Coins was too great. With that money, I wouldn't have to worry about being unable to become a martial artist, nor would I have to worry about my sister failing to break through to the martial artist level. I could even save my parents' lives.]
[On May 9, I contacted a broker online. He agreed to find me a buyer in exchange for thirty percent of the money.]
[On May 10, the broker was unbelievably efficient. The buyer was willing to pay 1.3 billion Federal Coins for the Qi and Blood Golden Elixir. I went mad with excitement!]
[On May 12, to prevent the buyer from killing me and taking the goods, I had the broker collect the money first, then placed the Qi and Blood Golden Elixir in a hidden location.]
[On May 13, 910 million Federal Coins arrived in my account. I stood at a distance and watched the buyer take away the Qi and Blood Golden Elixir. The deal was complete!
I was practically going insane. I had never seen so much money in my life.
Just as I decided to save my parents and improve our family's life, an accident suddenly occurred.]
[On May 15, the buyer claimed that the Qi and Blood Golden Elixir was fake and demanded compensation.
But I knew perfectly well that the Qi and Blood Golden Elixir couldn't possibly be fake. It had brought the Night Tiger back from the dead.
I knew the buyer wanted to get something for nothing—to kill me and take everything.
Without hesitation, I blocked the broker, replaced all my information, obtained a new identity, and decided to move away from Jinling City after saving my parents' lives.
However, I had underestimated the abilities of martial artists.]
[On May 20, I had just spent money buying Dragon Essence Blood. Before I could use it to treat my parents, the buyer tracked me down.
I died.
I am unwilling to accept this!
I know that all of this happened because I was too weak!]
"He died again..."
Lu Xuan closed his eyes after reading this far.
"As expected, unless I become a martial artist, I won't be able to protect anything, no matter how much money I have. When someone wants to attack you, you have no chance to resist at all."
A martial artist!
Lu Xuan stared at the Qi and Blood Golden Elixir, his Adam's apple bobbing.
Perhaps he should swallow it.
Then he might have a chance to become a martial artist.
"Calm down!"
Fortunately, Lu Xuan had sufficient self-control and pushed his distracting thoughts aside.
"First, I'll see whether this time's future intelligence contains anything else."
His gaze shifted to the email.
[On May 20, I died.
I saw the logo of the Monster Potion Company on the person who killed me.]
[There wasn't enough time, so I didn't have much major news before my death. Below is some of the intelligence I collected.
1. It's still the ruined city near Satellite City No. 3. Pharmacy No. 007 in Building 3. Remember this!
2. Do not come into contact with your sister's classmates!
3. The lottery numbers for May 8 are 136910...
4. The broker bought a Martial Art Manual on the Black Market. It was worth 500 million Federal Coins. Location... the broker's contact information...]
The letter ended completely.
Lu Xuan let out a long breath. "This life didn't get very far. There isn't much more information, and it even included the lottery numbers."
He just didn't know whether he could win.
He rose and went downstairs to buy a lottery ticket. If he won, it would ease his immediate predicament; if he didn't, it wouldn't affect his subsequent plans.
After all,
the priority now was the Qi and Blood Golden Elixir.
"Should I swallow it or not?"
Lu Xuan toyed with the Qi and Blood Golden Elixir.
According to the email and the information he had found online, the effects were best on an ordinary person.
But the odds of death were nine out of ten.
Yet what else could he do if he didn't swallow it?
Sell it and wait for death like the Lu Xuan in the future email?
If he gave it to his sister, it might affect her martial path.
"Swallow it!"
After thinking it over again and again, Lu Xuan finally steeled his resolve.
Both futures had ended with him dying because he was unable to become a martial artist.
The Qi and Blood Golden Elixir might not enable him to become a martial artist, but it would be of tremendous benefit as he stepped onto the martial path.
Swallow!
Lu Xuan tossed the Qi and Blood Golden Elixir into his mouth.
Buzz!
Vast energy swept through every meridian, bone, and blood vessel in his body. His blood boiled, and his bones cracked like firecrackers.
A strange scene appeared in his mind.
It seemed as though he was in darkness, yet also as though he had been cast into the depths of the sea.
He saw a gigantic eyeball covered in tentacles, lunging furiously toward him.
"Ah!"
Lu Xuan felt countless spikes inside his head, as if they wanted to pierce through his skull.
Clutching his head, he howled and collapsed to his knees, his eyes webbed with blood vessels.
The skin covering his entire body cracked inch by inch.
"Cough!"
He spat out a mouthful of blood. His consciousness blurred, and with a thump, he passed out.
He had no idea how much time passed.
Lu Xuan woke again.
He moved his body slightly and immediately felt his clothes grow tight.
After hurriedly examining himself, he discovered in pleasant surprise that his height had increased from 175 centimeters to 183, while the muscles throughout his body had tightened further.
Most importantly, his mind felt clearer than ever before.
His condition was at its peak.
"This isn't a Qi and Blood Golden Elixir left behind after the death of a Martial Dao Grandmaster. It should be one left behind by a Beast Lord level monster."
Lu Xuan combined this with what he had read online.
After swallowing it, he hadn't received any inheritance.
Instead, his mind felt clear, and he sensed an inexplicable power.
With that thought,
Lu Xuan directed his attention toward the money on the table.
The next second,
a miraculous scene appeared.
The money floated in midair and formed various shapes as it moved with Lu Xuan.
What... was this!?
Lu Xuan's mind went blank. He was an ordinary person and knew very little about martial artists.
But he had never heard of anyone being able to lift an object into the air with their mind. He couldn't even find any information about it online.
Mental Power?
Perhaps it was. Lu Xuan had read plenty of novels in his previous life.
Some of them mentioned that people with powerful Mental Power could control objects.
"No matter what, at least I have some ability to protect myself." Lu Xuan controlled the fruit knife on the table. With a bang, it shot into the wall. "Killing without a trace..."
"And..."
He clenched his fist, and a warm current flowed out. "After swallowing the Qi and Blood Golden Elixir, my qi and blood have risen considerably. I'm getting closer and closer to becoming a martial artist."
A normal adult's qi and blood value was 100 to 200.
After entering school, the authorities would teach students a simple Spiritual Energy breathing technique to strengthen their bodies and enhance their qi and blood.
After swallowing the Qi and Blood Golden Elixir, Lu Xuan could clearly feel his qi and blood value soaring several times. It should have reached around 600.
"If I can cultivate a Martial Art Manual for refining and breathing Spiritual Energy, I might be able to break through to the martial artist level in less than a year or two."
Martial Art Manuals and Martial Skills were divided into Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow grades.
For a martial artist to cultivate, they had to use a Martial Art Manual. Otherwise, no matter how many things that enhanced qi and blood they ate, without a Martial Art Manual to assist with refining them, the qi and blood gained from them would slowly dissipate.
It was like monster meat. He could eat it.
But very little of the qi and blood would remain after eating it.
Unless he had a Martial Art Manual.
"Wait..."
Thinking of a Martial Art Manual, Lu Xuan recalled the intelligence mentioned in the future email.
"The broker found a Martial Art Manual on the Black Market, and it was worth 500 million?"
Cut him off.
He had to cut him off!
Lu Xuan had many things to deal with.
Save his parents.
Help his sister break through to the martial artist level.
Prevent anyone from interfering with his sister's breakthrough.
Make money.
How much money could an ordinary person make? Only after becoming a martial artist could he earn more money!
Therefore,
he was determined to obtain the Martial Art Manual on the Black Market.
