Chapter 8 You've made a profit

  "This bottle is really beautiful, let me take a look."

  "Uh-huh."

  "The more I look at it, the better it looks, Lu Lu. Give me the bottle and I'll keep it as a small collectible."

  "No way, it almost hit me just now, it should be mine. You're such a dead girl, you want everything."

  ……

  However, the teasing sound behind Guo Zhengyang soon shifted away. The two women stood up and focused on the bottle again. As they focused, Yang Lulu took the bottle from another girl's hand, causing a commotion in the process. It wasn't until then that Yang Lulu was startled, "It seems like there's something inside."

  As she spoke, she also pulled out the stopper of the bottle, holding it with one hand and pouring it into the other, and then a round, thumb-sized dan medicine pellet came out.

  The pill still had a faint, intoxicating aroma, but this fragrance was buried under an even thicker medicinal smell, which was the taste of Fenghuadan. This flavor was wonderful for Guo Zhengyang, and he almost wanted to grab it, but Yang Lulu, who was holding the medicine, stared blankly for a few moments, sniffed it at her nose, looked around, and then threw the pill on the ground. "It seems like a pill, but I don't know what it is, let's just throw it away."

  Her companions did not object to this either. Normally, when people pick up a medicine bottle on the road, if the bottle is exquisite and beautiful, it's normal for them to want to collect it and casually throw away the pills inside.

  What adult would casually pick up unknown medicine on the street and collect it?

  So neither of the two women felt anything was wrong, but Guo Zhengyang, who was walking by, suddenly stumbled and stood there in a daze.

  "Haha, although it was almost smashed, but nothing happened. This bottle is so beautiful, you've made a profit."

  "Let's go."

  "That guy in the back... you see how nervous he was when you screamed, he immediately ran over as soon as he heard your scream. You just looked at him and he got scared and ran away with a red face, and yet he's so handsome. Don't you have any interest?"

  "Go die."

  …………

  Two women in the middle of laughter and chat got up from their seats and walked forward step by step.

  Kuang Zhengyang suddenly turned around and walked to where the two women were standing, looked around a few times, followed the fragrance and squatted down, and even dug out the discarded Fenghua Dan from the snow pile on the side of the road.

  Holding the dan medicine in front of his eyes, Guo Zhengyang looked around again, but he couldn't smell any other medicinal fragrance.

  Is there only one? He didn't watch when Yang Lulu discarded the elixir, so he didn't know there was only one. At first, he thought it was a whole bottle.

  But since they've already started losing them, if there were multiple Wind Flower Pills, they definitely wouldn't have lost one and kept a few. So you're saying this bottle only has this one pill?

  Suddenly, a loud shout came from the front, and Guo Zhengyang looked up again. He saw that the woman who was with Yang Lulu was about 7 or 8 steps away, smiling at him coyly, "Handsome guy, we're almost home. If you don't have the courage to come over, you won't be able to see this beautiful girl Yang Lulu again. I'll secretly tell you, her name is Yang Lulu."

  "What nonsense are you talking about."

  A burst of giggles, Yang Lulu's face suddenly turned red, and she went to pummel her female companion. The two of them had been discussing something in private, but it was nothing out of the ordinary - just like how men would discuss a beautiful woman they saw on the road, or women would talk about a handsome guy they saw. But who could have expected them to say such things right in front of each other?

  Yang Lulu patted her girlfriend and looked at Guo Zhengyang again before blushing and turning to leave.

  Her female companion also smiled and winked at Guo Zhengyang before turning around and leaving.

  Guo Zhengyang stood still, grasping the Fenghuadan, until after more than a dozen breaths, his eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of wild joy.

  It's gone!

  This time Yang Lulu had completely distanced herself from him, but that strange idea which had been lingering in his mind like a thorn finally disappeared!

  "That thing has been constantly or coercively or deceitfully tempting me to kill her, saying there's a great benefit, is it referring to this Wind Flower Dan?"

  "But something's off, she picked up the Wind Flower Dan halfway, and when I first saw her at the supermarket, that thought had been tempting me to kill her. If I had given in to the temptation and really made a move back then, how would I have gotten the Wind Flower Dan from her?"

  "I barely managed to suppress it back then, and I had to suffer so much in order to do so. If I hadn't suppressed it, I would have killed her directly, and she wouldn't have come back this way, wouldn't have picked up this dan medicine here. Then how would I have gotten this Fenghua Dan? Isn't the benefit that Intention mentioned this dan medicine? But if not, when she previously picked up the medicine bottle, Intention had already turned into robbery, and after she discarded the Fenghua Dan and I picked it up, Intention completely disappeared?"

  To his surprise, after taking another look at the Dan medicine in his hand, Guo Zhengyang suddenly became suspicious again, and this suspicion grew bigger and bigger.

  Because he really couldn't figure out what was going on.

  Furrowing his brow in deep thought, Guo Zhengyang suddenly had another flash of inspiration and came up with a very bold idea.

  The benefit that intention refers to should be Feng Hua Dan. Otherwise, it cannot be explained why his intention completely dispersed as soon as he obtained the elixir.

  Yang Lulu was able to pick it up, which was purely a great coincidence!

  This opportunity is just like Guo Zhengyang's encounter with a seriously injured and dying monk in his previous life, which allowed him to embark on the path of cultivation.

  If Guo Zhengyang had killed her opponent earlier, could he have turned her fate into his own?

  If this Wind Flower Dan was indeed the result of a fight between cultivators in mid-air, and one of them had their storage ring shattered, spilling its contents, it was only due to Yang Lulu's own fortune that the dan landed in front of her and was picked up by her. But if he had killed Yang Lulu beforehand, would this thing have fallen in front of him when it dropped again?

  Is this killing her and seizing the opportunity she is about to encounter for oneself?

  "Isn't this idea a bit too exaggerated? Fate, a person's fate is fundamentally unpredictable and uncontrollable. In my past life, if I hadn't coincidentally met that heavily injured cultivator on the brink of death, I wouldn't have obtained his inheritance and wouldn't have embarked on this path of cultivation. But in my past life, if I hadn't had such bad luck, I wouldn't have been killed by the residual waves of two powerful experts just after entering the True Person realm. This thing called fate is fundamentally impossible to control, right?"

  Such an idea emerged, and Guo Zhengyang himself felt absurd, so absurd that he didn't even dare to believe it.

  But for a moment, apart from such an explanation that could barely make sense of it all, he really couldn't explain the sudden appearance and disappearance of this strange idea, nor what was going on with the Wind Flower Pill that had already fallen into his hands.

  "However, even if you have the opportunity, if you don't grasp it when it comes, it's all in vain. In my previous life, I obtained the legacy of a cultivator, but if I hadn't spent five or six years studying and practicing, failing countless times before achieving results, I probably would have also missed the chance to cultivate and become a being that is completely different from ordinary people, able to fly and escape freely. Just like that woman earlier, although the Wind Flower Pill needs to be absorbed through cultivation after taking it for its medicinal properties to take effect, even if you don't understand any of this, as long as you eat it raw, the vast spiritual energy contained within will automatically flush and cleanse your body. Even though the medicinal properties may be lost, 99% of it would still be wasted because you didn't absorb it, but the remaining 1% is enough to make her body healthy, not to say that she won't get sick at all, but she's much healthier than ordinary people, and her physical quality will slowly improve, stronger than average. But when she encountered this opportunity, she didn't even grasp it, and actually lost the Wind Flower Pill and took away the pill bottle, which is equivalent to missing this opportunity."

  "Opportunity knocks, but if you don't seize it, it's all in vain."

  Although Guo Zhengyang himself did not dare to believe his previous guesses and speculations, there was one thing that could not be denied. No matter how lucky a person is or how amazing the opportunity is, if you don't grasp it yourself, you will still end up in mediocrity.

  He struggled hard to suppress the murderous intention, and fought against that thought time and again. Yet he never expected that by not following that thought's guidance, not killing or robbing, he could still get this treasure for free.
