Chapter 8, you have certainly profited

... ...

Although Guo Zhengyang himself could hardly believe his previous conjectures and speculations, one undeniable point remains: no matter how fortunate a person may be or how astonishing their opportunities, if one does not take the initiative to seize them, they will still end up leading a mediocre life

After giving her female companion a light punch, Yang Lulu glanced at Guo Zhengyang, her face flushed before she turned and left

The pill still carried a hint of intoxicating fragrance, yet this aroma was buried beneath a more robust medicinal scent. This was the flavor of Fenghua Dan, a taste that was delightful to Guo Zhengyang, to the point where he almost wished to snatch it away. However, Yang Lulu, holding the pill, stared blankly for a few moments, then brought it to her nose to sniff, glancing around before she reached out and tossed the pill onto the ground, saying, "It seems to be a pill, but I have no idea what it is, so it's better to just discard it."

Is it possible to kill her and seize the opportunities she is about to encounter, turning them into one's own

That thing has been either coercing or enticing me to kill her, claiming there are great benefits, referring specifically to this Fenghua Dan

Oh, what are you talking about

Which adult would casually collect unknown drugs found on the street

Hmm

"Look at him back there... You saw how nervous he was just now. The moment he heard you scream, he rushed over. The moment you looked at him, he turned red and ran away, and he's so handsome. Are you really not interested?"

Such thoughts emerged after visiting https://m.hetushu.com, and Guo Zhengyang himself found it absurd, so absurd that he could hardly believe it himself

Go to hell

In surprise, after glancing at the elixir in his hand a few more times, Guo Zhengyang suddenly became puzzled again, and this confusion grew increasingly stronger.

... ...

Startled, Guo Zhengyang only looked up again when a loud shout rang out ahead. He saw a woman, who was with Yang Lulu, standing about seven or eight steps away, smiling at him playfully. "Handsome, we are almost home. If you don't muster the courage to come over, you won't get to see this beautiful girl, Lulu. I'll let you in on a secret: her name is Yang Lulu."

This opportunity is akin to Guo Zhengyang's chance encounter with the critically injured cultivator in his previous life, which allowed him to embark on the path of cultivation.

Furrowing his brow in deep thought, Guo Zhengyang suddenly had a bold idea flash through his mind

Her companion also winked at Guo Zhengyang amidst the laughter and turned to leave

I had a hard time suppressing myself at that moment, enduring so much suffering just to keep it under control. If I hadn't suppressed it and had killed her directly, she would never have returned to walk this path, and she wouldn't have found this elixir here. How would I then obtain this Fenghua Pill? Is it not the benefits mentioned by the intention that refer to this elixir? But if it isn't, when she picked up the vial earlier, the intention had already transformed into a robbery, and after she discarded the Fenghua Pill and I picked it up, did the intention completely disappear?

He worked hard to suppress his murderous thoughts, struggling against that impulse time and again, yet he truly did not expect that by not following the guidance of that thought, by refraining from killing or plundering, he could still come across this treasure.

With laughter and giggles, the two women rose again and walked forward in a measured pace

Guo Zhengyang suddenly turned around, walked to the spot where the two women had been standing, glanced around a few times, and followed the fragrance to crouch down, even digging out the discarded Fenghua Dan from the snow pile by the roadside

The benefits referred to by the intention should be the Fenghua Dan; otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why, upon obtaining the elixir, the intention completely dissipated

Let us go

However, the teasing voices behind Guo Zhengyang quickly shifted. The two women stood up and turned their attention back to the bottle. In the midst of their focus, when Yang Lulu took the bottle from another girl's hand, a commotion ensued. Yang Lulu was momentarily taken aback, saying, "It seems like something happened inside."

Only one? He did not observe when Yang Lulu discarded the elixir, so he was unaware that there was only one. At first, he even thought it was a whole bottle.

The more I look, the better it looks, Lulu, could you give me the bottle? I would like to keep it as a little collectible

However, since the other party has already started discarding them, if Fenghuadan has multiple pieces, it certainly wouldn't discard one and leave a few for the books, right? So, does this mean that this bottle contains only this one piece?

It is entirely a great fortune for Yang Lulu to have found it

However, something feels off. She found the Fenghua Dan on the way. When I first saw her in the supermarket, that thought kept tempting me to kill her. If I had succumbed to that temptation and acted on it, how could I have then obtained the Fenghua Dan from her?

Holding the elixir in front of his eyes, Guo Zhengyang looked around, but he could no longer smell any other medicinal fragrances.

That's it

Thus, neither of the two women felt anything amiss, but Guo Zhengyang, who was walking, suddenly trembled and stood there in a daze

If Guo Zhengyang had killed the other party earlier, would that have allowed him to turn her fortune into his own

However, apart from this explanation that can barely make sense, he truly cannot account for the sudden emergence and disappearance of this strange idea, nor can he explain the matter of the Fenghua Dan that he has already obtained.

With a charming laugh, Yang Lulu's face suddenly flushed red, and she immediately began to playfully hit her female companion in embarrassment and annoyance. It was one thing for the two of them to discuss it privately, much like how two women might talk about handsome men they see on the street, just as two men might discuss beautiful women. It is quite ordinary, but how could they possibly say such things in front of each other?

Her companions had no objections to this. If an ordinary person found a beautifully crafted and visually appealing medicine bottle on the road, one that was so exquisite it made one want to collect it, then it would be quite normal to casually discard the pills inside.

This bottle is really beautiful, let me take a look

Hehe, although I almost got hit, it's no big deal. This bottle is so beautiful; you really made a good deal.

If this Fenghua Dan was indeed the result of a battle among cultivators in the sky, and one of them shattered their storage ring, causing its contents to scatter, it was only due to Yang Lulu's own fortune that this pill fell in front of her for her to pick up. However, if he had killed Yang Lulu beforehand, would the item have fallen in front of him when it dropped?

However, even if an opportunity arises, it is futile if you do not know how to seize it. In my previous life, I inherited the legacy of that cultivator. If I had not spent five or six years researching and refining my skills after countless failures, I would have likely missed the chance to cultivate and would not have been able to soar through the skies and become a being entirely different from mortals. Just like that woman earlier, although the Fenghua Pill requires a cultivation method to absorb its medicinal properties after consumption, even if you know nothing about it, simply eating it raw will still allow the immense spiritual energy it contains to automatically cleanse and purify your body. Even though some of the medicinal properties may be lost—99% will likely dissipate because you do not absorb it—the remaining 1% is sufficient to ensure her health. While it cannot be said that she will be free from all ailments, she will certainly be much healthier than an ordinary person, and her physical condition will gradually improve, becoming stronger than that of the average individual. However, when she encountered this opportunity, she did not know how to grasp it and ended up discarding the Fenghua Pill while taking the pill bottle instead. This is equivalent to letting this opportunity slip away.

"Isn't that a bit exaggerated? Fate, the fate of a person is fundamentally unpredictable and ungraspable. If I had not fortuitously encountered that severely injured cultivator in my previous life, I would not have inherited his legacy, nor would I have embarked on the path of cultivation. However, if my previous life had not been so unfortunate, I would not have perished from the aftermath of a battle between two powerful beings right after stepping into the True Person realm. Such things as fate cannot possibly be controlled, can they?"

"That won't do, it almost hit me just now, it should be mine. You little brat, you want this too."

Because he simply cannot understand what is going on

This time, Yang Lulu has completely distanced herself from him, yet the strange thought that had been like a persistent thorn in his mind has utterly vanished

Opportunities arise, and if you do not seize them, they will be in vain

As she spoke, she also removed the cork from the bottle, holding the bottle in one hand and pouring its contents into the other hand, from which rolled out a round, pill-sized elixir, no larger than the tip of a finger

Guo Zhengyang stood quietly, holding Fenghuadan, until after a dozen breaths, a glimmer of ecstasy suddenly appeared in his eyes
