In this world, it's all about who can be more ruthless.
This was his final test, designed to lure him into taking it himself.
No matter how much is said or taught, it cannot compare to the profound lesson of this test.
He had suffered unbearable pain, sinking into self-blame and guilt; only later did he slowly come to realize that this was indeed the real ultimate test.
If he couldn't extricate himself from these thoughts, he just wasn't ruthless enough.
Latter on, he indeed became more and more ruthless, and his heart grew ever colder.
"Teacher... Teacher..."
The calling brought him back to the present.
Ji Bochang looked at the treasure pill on the table.
It was another treasure pill, but this time, he, as a teacher, watched his disciple exert all his effort to obtain it for him.
He was so caught up in memories that he couldn't extricate himself.
Unable to control his trembling, he reached out and closed the jade box once more.
