Chapter 10: The Spirit Pill Experience with Wang Dong'er
Wang Dong'er looked out the window and realized that night had already fallen!
Could it be that she had been unconscious for an entire day?
Ji Lin stretched out his hands, feigning complete ignorance, and said:
"I know exactly how you feel. When I woke up, I found myself in our dormitory. Not only that, but I also had two extra spirit pills with me!"
He then took out a spirit pill and handed it to Wang Dong'er.
Sitting upright, Wang Dong'er stared at it intently.
"Oh my god!" she exclaimed, truly shocked when she saw its form and understood its value. "Ji Lin, you've won a fortune! Do you know what this is? It's a Spirit Pill! It strengthens the body and enhances the foundation. Normally, they're extremely rare!"
Her excitement surged as she pointed eagerly at the pill in Ji Lin's hand, as if ready to snatch it from him.
Yet Ji Lin remained calm. While the spirit pill was indeed valuable, he was accustomed to wealth; why would he care about such a small thing?
He was puzzled by Wang Dong'er's behavior. After all, she was Tang San's daughter, sent into the human world. And although she was only one of three copies, she also belonged to the Houtian Sect. She shouldn't have been so surprised by these two elixirs, right?
In fact, all of this was part of Tang San's plan.
Before sending New Tian and Tai Tan Wang Dong'er to Shrek Academy, they had agreed not to provide her with much material support.
In the end, Tang San relied on Wang Dong'er to keep control over Hou Yuhao and to maintain influence over this "child of luck."
Had she behaved with the expected pride and dignity, there would have been no bond at all between her and Hou Yuhao. Nothing would have tied them together.
Tang San's calculations were truly brilliant; he planned every step to control Hou Yuhao.
Had it not been for the destruction that occurred, he would have been forced to intervene personally in the affairs of Douluo Planet.
The Tang Sect, which had thrived for thousands of years, now faced survival with only two people left. How could a king like Tang San accept such a reality?
He had founded the Tang Sect with his own hands, poured all his effort and sweat into it, yet it had come to this… a reality that ignited his rage!
Even though Wang Dong'er was well-acquainted with the Houtian Sect, she hadn't brought anything valuable with her when she came to Shrek Academy.
Ji Lin smiled slightly and said, "Since this pill is so effective, how about I give you one? Each of us keeps one. What do you think?"
As he spoke, he took one of the pills and placed it directly into Wang Dong'er's palm.
"What…?"
Wang Dong'er stared at him in astonishment, her voice trembling slightly. "Do you really intend to give me a Spirit Pill?"
She had never expected Ji Lin to offer her something of such value. It exceeded all her expectations!
Ji Lin smiled again and looked at her calmly. "What's the matter? It's just a pill. It's fine… since we're dorm partners, we should be loyal to each other and support one another!"
Ji Lin's words had shifted Wang Dong'er's perception of him.
Despite the disagreements that had flared during their first meeting, after a few days together, she discovered that Ji Lin was genuinely kind. Gradually… their relationship began to improve.
"All right, thank you!"
Wang Dong'er nodded seriously, then said shyly, "From now on… I won't mind if you sleep beside me!"
Her beautiful face flushed slightly as she finished speaking. She was truly kind-hearted; despite her occasional outward coldness, there was a pure, sincere side to her.
Ji Lin smiled, teasingly, and said, "So… may I come closer?"
Wang Dong'er became flustered and shook her head quickly. "No, no! I don't want you to come near me! Hmm!"
She snorted coldly, thinking to herself: What a crazy idea! If he gets any closer, my identity might be revealed… and who knows what this man would do? No, I must maintain my boundaries!
Ji Lin chuckled softly and said, "All right then!"
Practical by nature, he knew words alone wouldn't suffice; he was confident he could directly foil Tang San's plan in action rather than in speech.
"No time to waste. How about we take this Spirit Pill now?"
Ji Lin suggested. After spending the day with Ma Xiaotao, his spiritual power had risen significantly but had not yet stabilized. The mysterious Spirit Pill would be the perfect chance to enhance it.
Wang Dong'er nodded. "All right, I'll try Ji Lin's pill and see if it lives up to the rumors!"
They sat facing each other on Wang Dong'er's bed and took the pill simultaneously.
As it melted within their bodies, a warm current surged through Ji Lin's veins, nourishing every part of him before transforming into threads of cold energy flowing throughout.
He closed his eyes, savoring the wondrous effects of the mysterious pill. Its impact was truly astounding!
As the effect continued, Ji Lin felt his bones crack and lengthen, reshaping themselves.
In this way, after an entire night of training, not only had they concentrated their spiritual power, but their physical strength had improved significantly as well.
However, despite the tremendous benefits… this newfound power posed a considerable burden for the new students in the dormitory building.
The effects of the Spirit Pills came with an unavoidable downside; as they purified their bodies of impurities, a foul odor emanated from them, forcing all the other students in the building to flee their rooms and grumble throughout the night.
But with the break of dawn, the effects gradually faded. Ji Lin finally opened his eyes, which now appeared deeper and clearer than ever, radiating an aura of calmness and refinement.
"This feels incredibly refreshing!"
Ji Lin murmured as he took a deep breath.
Wang Dong'er also awoke and couldn't help but stretch her slender body. Her long, soft eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings, creating a truly beautiful scene.
She stood slowly, stretching her entire body, a satisfied smile on her lips.
"Wow… this pill is truly amazing! Its healing effect is several times stronger than any ordinary pill I've taken before. No wonder it's worth ten thousand spirit gold coins!"
