Apocalypse: Resources Consumed by Women Returned Ten Thousandfold - Chapter 267 - 261: Saintess’s Grace (Part 3)
“What kind of elixir is this?”
Upon hearing this, Wu Ji leapt out as if he had been a cat with his tail stepped on.
His face was filled with anger and ferocity, and he roared loudly:
“Bold scoundrel! The Saintess bestows elixir upon you, it is a blessing from your past lives, and yet you dare to question the Saintess instead of kneeling to thank her. Do you even realize this is a divine opportunity? Your behavior is simply courting death!”
His voice was piercing and resounded in all directions, with each word carrying endless anger and accusations.
Yet, Lin Lang seemed oblivious to Wu Ji’s noise, as if he were just a buzzing fly, not even worth his distraction.
His gaze remained fixed on the Saintess, continuing to speak neither arrogantly nor servilely:
“This elixir does not contain ingredients to open meridians, does it? Concerning my own safety, if you don’t clarify its origin and effects, how can I rashly consume it?”
His tone was very calm, as if he were bargaining with a vegetable vendor.
At this moment!
The Saintess’s maid stepped forward and explained on behalf of the Saintess:
“Do you think becoming a martial artist is an easy thing?”
“This elixir is the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill, with extraordinary effects, capable of washing away the impurities and old forces within your body. However, at the same time, all the superpowers you previously possessed will be completely lost!”
“Only through the cleansing of this Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill can you qualify to step into the threshold of martial artists!”
“After that, ingest the Meridian Opening Pill to clear your meridians! Only then will you have the opportunity to become a true martial artist.”
The maid spoke while casting a slightly scrutinizing gaze at Lin Lang!
As if waiting for him to understand the stakes involved and gratefully take the elixir.
Upon hearing these words, Lin Lang frowned slightly, the original calm on his face replaced by disinterest.
He shook his head gently and spoke indifferently:
“To surrender the hard-earned superpowers first, only to have a slim chance of becoming a martial artist, and no guarantee of success? Who would willingly engage in such a losing deal?”
He spoke while idly playing with the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill in his hand, as if it were just an ordinary pebble.
Wu Ji, upon hearing this, trembled with rage, unable to contain himself any longer, his face turning red, veins bulging on his neck, and he cursed:
“Scoundrel! What do you know! Many people would willingly do this! Becoming a martial artist is a leap to greatness, able to walk the world with superiority, what counts against a mere risk? Your lack of appreciation is like a stubborn old log, beyond hope!”
Afterwards!
Wu Ji hurriedly turned and bowed respectfully towards the Saintess, obsequiously saying:
“Saintess, this person is too arrogant and ignorant, his narrow vision makes him unworthy of becoming a martial artist! It would be best not to waste such precious elixir on him, lest it be squandered.”
But confronting the repeatedly defiant Lin Lang, the Saintess did not get angry.
Her gaze remained peaceful and patient.
She gently waved her hand, signaling Wu Ji to stop speaking, then looked at Lin Lang tenderly and softly explained:
“Your talent is indeed remarkable, I can see the extraordinary nature in your bones. If you consume this Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill, I will grant you the Upper Grade Meridian Opening Pill. With such aid, your chance of becoming a martial artist is as high as ninety percent. This is an opportunity not everyone can have.”
Her words were full of persuasive intent, as if she sincerely hoped Lin Lang would seize this rare chance.
Lin Lang, however, sneered, his eyes filled with disdain, responding with a touch of ridicule:
“Only ninety percent? How is that different from being sent to die? You might as well look for someone else.”
