Chapter 434 Lust For Greed
As the two of them walked out, a pill furnace appeared on the ground ten meters in front of them. On it was written the words "Fourth Grade Intermediate Fortune Pill".
It was explained that consuming this pill could reduce the chances of a bottleneck in martial arts by two thousand to three thousand. Furthermore, it could overlap with the effects of the previous Primary Good Fortune Pill. That would reduce the chances by three thousand to four thousand.
However, there was a rule that in order to consume an Intermediate Fortune Pill, one had to first consume an Elementary Fortune Pill and let the Elementary Fortune Pill be used as a medicinal guide. Otherwise, if one consumed the Intermediate Fortune Pill directly, they would be poisoned to death.
"Two thousand three!" Dream butterfly's eyes flashed with greed. She held Xiang Nan's hand and shook it, "Good brother, let's go eat that primary pill in front of us. If we delay any longer, we might encounter Dong Wu Shang and the others."
Xiang Nan frowned and said, "No, you mustn't eat it!"
"Why?" Meng Die pouted angrily, "It's already amazing to be able to reduce the bottleneck probability by two to three thousand."
Xiang Nan took a deep breath. The temptation to martial artists was indeed enormous. Almost no martial artist could withstand such an enormous temptation.
Is there really less than a thousand two three? Perhaps some martial artists were already as strong as Half Saint realm cultivators, but he was only a tiny bit away from the Heavenly Tribulation realm. This tiny bit of distance could trap him for the rest of his life!
Sometimes, it was just a little bit away, and that little bit was a heavenly chasm that could never be crossed.
"Good Dream butterfly , listen to me. Be obedient." Xiang Nan patted Dream butterfly on the back.
Although Dream butterfly was reluctant to part with the Good Fortune Pill, she still accepted Xiang Nan's intimate actions sweetly.
After the two of them walked away, the pill furnace behind them sank back into the ground with a rumbling sound.
Dream butterfly reluctantly took a few steps and turned around to look. In her heart, she was always thinking about the Good Fortune Pill.
After they walked a distance away, the pill furnace appeared again. It was exactly the same as the previous two times. This time, it was a Tier 4 Advanced Good Fortune Pill, which could reduce the chances of bottlenecks by three to four thousand.
Similarly, he still had to use the first two Good Fortune Pills as medicinal ingredients before he could consume them. It was also one for each person, and he was not allowed to eat too many of them.
Xiang Nan spoke ill of it, so he pulled the Dream butterfly away and continued forward.
Following that, a new pill furnace appeared. It was a top-grade fourth-grade Good Fortune Pill, which could reduce the bottleneck probability by four to five thousand.
At this point, Meng Die no longer spoke. Although she did not complain about Xiang Nan, she was angry with him for the first time because of these pills.
That's human nature. Sometimes you're willing to die for someone you love, but most of the time, you're going to quarrel with them over trivial things.
Dream butterfly wasn't even afraid of death, but she couldn't resist the temptation of the pill.
After a while, a brand new pill furnace rose from the ground.
The pill placed in this pill furnace was called a Tier 4 Life Pill. As its name implied, eating one pill could increase the lifespan of humans. Depending on one's physique, this pill could increase the lifespan of humans by 80 to 100 years.
The temptation of this pill was even greater! Perhaps the Good Fortune Pill could reduce the probability of bottlenecks appearing, but that would only tempt martial artists, and it was the entire human race who would be tempted to prolong their lives.
Longevity, has always been the pursuit of mankind.
The higher the cultivation realm, the longer one's lifespan would increase. However, the longer one lived, the more one would not want to die. With such a pill that could increase one's lifespan by a hundred years, even if one were to hand it over to a top expert, he would not be willing to give it up.
Unfortunately, in order to eat the Life Pill, one had to first eat the Good Fortune Pill and use the Good Fortune Pill as a guide.
"Let's go back and eat. I beg you, good brother." Meng Die almost cried. She shook Xiang Nan's arm and pouted her mouth in grievance.
Xiang Nan did not say a word. He only maintained a calm expression and pulled Dream butterfly forward.
In front of him, there was a Tier 4 Intermediate Life Pill that could increase one hundred and fifty to two hundred years of lifespan.
After that, there were high-grade Life Pills that could increase one's lifespan by 200 to 250 years, and top-grade Life Pills that could increase one's lifespan by 300 years.
Regardless of whether it was the Good Fortune Pill or the Life Pill, although they were only at the fourth grade, these pills were absolutely impossible to find outside. As the saying goes, things were precious because they were rare. Especially, the medicinal effects of these two pills were extremely rare, and even more precious than those of the fifth or sixth grade pills in the outside world.
At this time, Meng Die did not even pull Xiang Nan's hand. She only pursed her lips and followed Xiang Nan silently. Xiang Nan spoke to her, but she pretended not to hear her.
Xiang Nan was shocked by the appearance of a Tier 5 Rejuvenation Pill.
Xiang Nan had seen and eaten many Rejuvenation Pills, but he had never seen such a high-grade Rejuvenation Pill!
The effects of this Rejuvenation Pill were even more shocking. After eating it, one could actually regress one's years! A single pill could reverse ten years!
When a thirty-year-old eats it, he will directly fall back to twenty years old, but it will not affect his martial arts realm. After eating it, a twenty-year-old's youth will be locked up for ten years, and he will no longer age for ten years.
This Tier 5 Rejuvenation Pill was even more attractive than the Life Pill! The Life Pill could only prolong one's lifespan, while the Spring Rejuvenation Pill could keep one's youth forever!
For any woman, youth was far more important than anything else.
The Dream butterfly pounced on the pill furnace and said nothing. She cried, "I don't care, I want to eat!"
Xiang Nan stretched out his hand to pull her. She held the pill furnace tightly and refused to let go.
Xiang Nan also became angry, adding a bit of strength to his hand, he forcefully pulled her down and dragged her forward.
The Dream butterfly struggled non-stop, stretching out her hand and kicking her leg, her eyes still refusing to leave the Tier 5 Rejuvenation Pill.
However, what was even worse was that a Tier 5 Intermediate Rejuvenation Pill had also appeared. This thing could make people regress 20 years of youth. Those who ate it before the age of 20 could lock it up for 20 years.
Dream butterfly burst into tears as her sparkling tears fell down one by one.
Xiang Nan couldn't bear to see her being so aggrieved. He said gently, "Good Dream butterfly , don't you notice that your current situation is becoming more and more unstable?"
"The joyous atmosphere emitted by the spiritual herbs in front of us can only tempt our senses. Although these pills do not emit a special fragrance, their value is still tempting our hearts."
Dream butterfly did not obey: "temptation temptation, after all, there is no harm to eat."
"Good brother, let's go back and eat the Good Fortune Pill, okay? At worst, we can only eat here and stop. We won't eat any more pills in the future, I guarantee you."
Xiang Nan shook his head and sighed, "Trust me, you won't be able to stop. Let me give you a metaphor."
"What happens when a person who has been poor for most of his life suddenly finds a gold coin on the road? What happens if he finds out that there are two, three, ten, or a hundred gold coins behind him?"
"Will he give up when he continues to advance and sees a golden mountain appear in front of him?"
"A person's greed is endless. Moreover, when you discover that the things on the road ahead are always more precious than the treasures you find behind you, you already have no way out."
"You've already picked up the gold coins here. At that time, no matter how determined you were, you wouldn't give up halfway."
