Yoon Jong blinked as he looked at the five Soul Vitality Pills in front of him.
“This is…”
Yoon Jong slowly raised his head to look at the sect leader.
And Hyun Jong looked at them with the most benevolent expression he could.
“Eat.”
“…T-this?”
Yoon Jong alternated between looking at the pill and Hyun Jong.
“You mean us?”
Hyun Jong solemnly nodded very slowly and tried to answer yes. But Hyun Young, who was next to him, spat out before he could speak.
“Then what? Should I eat it?”
Yoon Jong looked at Hyun Young with startled eyes.
“Isn’t that how it should be done? The elders should eat first….”
“Oh, you’re spewing such nonsense.”
Hyun Young resolutely cut Yoon Jong’s words short.
“What are we going to do after eating this? Wait around until we die of old age? It would be a waste of these things for us to eat them.”
Everyone was shocked by the statement, but they couldn’t refute it. Then Hyun Young smiled.
“This Soul Vitality Pill is something you searched for and brought back, so it’s natural that you should eat it. Even if it wasn’t you but us who found it, it still has to be you that takes it.”
“… Elder.”
“There’s no reason to get hung up on this. It’s nothing special. Even if you take five pills, there are fifteen more left! That’s still sufficient for us to study it. No, it’s more than sufficient. So don’t feel burdened by it.”
At that time, Hyun Jong added.
“Finding the purple wood grass in Yunnan won’t be easy. So, taking this will be of great help to you all.”
Hyun Young turned his head and glared at Hyun Jong, but Hyun Jong didn’t look at him and simply kept his peaceful smile.
‘It’s obvious that I was the one that wanted to give this to them from the start.’
‘Just stay put! It’s enough already! Can’t you save me some face now that I’m giving them pills too!?’
The two elders exchanged glances and communicated through their eyes before coughing in unison.
“So, we can eat this, right?”
Chung Myung, who had been silent till then, casually reached out and picked one pill up.
“Huk!”
“Brat! Take it easy! Do you know how precious that is!?”
“Yayayaya! It’ll break! It’ll break!”
“Yeah! Devil!”
Chung Myung recoiled from the violent reaction of the people around him.
“No, how dare you handle that pill like that!”
“Do you even know what kind of pill that is!?”
“Even if we sold you, we wouldn’t be able to buy that!”
Chung Myung’s eyes grew cold.
‘This disgusting sect. Even if you grew up in poverty without any pills….’
No, even if that was the case.
Humans are lesser, and this pill is greater? How could that be?
“Ugh.”
