Chapter 13 Provocation Technique
Qu Lingyun hadn't even glanced at him since she entered the room, but now she finally looked at him properly.
The man before me was extremely handsome, but his first impression was not one of beauty.
His eyes were deep, and his serious face revealed an undeniable determination.
He exuded an unapproachable and composed aura, which inspired awe in everyone.
He speaks in a gentle tone, giving people a sense of security and reliability, which makes people unconsciously trust him.
This was an unknown pharmacist, someone she had never seen in any of the information she had collected in the past.
"Heh, you mean your potion can make me develop spiritual roots?" Qu Lingyun sneered.
The sacred grass that can nurture spiritual roots is something that can only be encountered by chance and is extremely rare. Ever since she was three years old and her five spiritual roots were discovered, her grandfather has been searching for it for seventeen years, but to no avail.
"No. My potion is a potential-stimulating potion. The potential for cultivation is hidden in the blood of ordinary people. This potion can stimulate this potential tenfold or a hundredfold, causing it to be activated."
However, I must warn you beforehand that this medicine has only a 50% success rate, and it will be very painful to take.
"If you are afraid of suffering, I will not force you to take it," Bo said.
“If I fail, I will have my grandfather kill you!” Qu Lingyun glared at him fiercely.
"In that case, I'd rather pour this potion into the dogs than give it to you!" Bo Yiyan suddenly stood up and prepared to leave.
"Great Pharmacist, please calm down! Please don't take it personally with a child. She's still young and doesn't understand!" Venerable Wuling immediately pleaded.
"There is only one child here, my son Chen, while your granddaughter is already twenty years old."
Yet she could disregard the hard work you, her elderly grandfather, had done for her, and scoff at your high hopes.
"If this were my child, I would never have raised her with such luxury. I would have thrown her out long ago and left her to fend for herself!" Bo Yiyan said coldly.
"How dare you!" Qu Lingyun trembled with anger.
"What right do you, a mere mortal who cannot cultivate, have to speak so disrespectfully to a great pharmacist like me? Aren't you just relying on your grandfather to back you up?"
"If you're so capable, leave him and make your own way in the world. Only then will you have the right to point at me and call me presumptuous!" Bo said disdainfully.
Wu Ling Zun Zhe was anxious and wanted to speak up to stop him, but A Chen grabbed his sleeve and whispered, "Grandpa, my Uncle Bo is using reverse psychology."
The Martial Spirit Venerable immediately shut his mouth and quietly took two steps back.
He noticed that his granddaughter's eyes, which had been numb for a long time, had become more vivid with anger.
Even if this great pharmacist couldn't heal her face, it would be worth it if he could shake her numb heart.
God knows how much it pained him to see his most beloved granddaughter living like a walking corpse all these years!
"Fine, give me the medicine, I'll take it! If you really dare to poison me, I'll respect you as a hero!" Qu Lingyun said, biting her lower lip hard.
Bo Yiyan gave a wicked smile, and Qu Lingyun felt her heart flutter.
Over the years, in an effort to make her happy, her grandfather had tried to find all sorts of handsome men to pique her interest, but without exception, she chased them all away.
Even if she were a mortal who couldn't cultivate, she would look down on men who clearly loathed her but pretended to be affectionate for their own benefit.
But the great pharmacist in front of him was different. He didn't care about her face at all. In other words, he didn't really care whether she was a beauty or a disfigured woman.
In his eyes, she was probably just a willful and domineering person, not even a proper girl.
She took the blue glass bottle from Bo Yiyan, uncorked it, tilted her head back, and poured all the liquid inside down her throat.
Soon, a burning sensation spread through her body, as if countless invisible hands were tearing her apart, and every inch of her body was in pain.
Qu Lingyun couldn't help but groan, "Damn it! You're a great pharmacist, can't you even concoct a poison that will kill you as soon as you drink it?"
"My poison is specifically designed for cowards! It can kill you if you give in, but if you grit your teeth and persevere, you will definitely survive."
The suffering you are enduring now is the agony of being slowly sliced to death. If you have the guts, come back and seek revenge after you survive.
"But I reckon you won't survive. Even if your grandfather avenges you, you won't live to see it, haha!" Bo Yiyan sneered.
"Great Pharmacist, is this really alright? Is there any way to ease Yun'er's pain?" Venerable Wuling trembled with heartache.
"The process of unleashing a person's potential is destined to be anything but gentle. Families like yours certainly have cultivation potential in their bloodline, but it is hidden during the child's development."
"Actually, the 50% I mentioned before was an underestimate. The probability of her awakening cultivation aptitude is at least 80%," Bo Yi said.
What he gave Qu Lingyun to drink was actually his latest gene serum. If Qu Lingyun were truly a child born into an ordinary family, the probability of her awakening superpowers would only be 50%.
However, her grandfather's ability to cultivate to the top level meant that he had excellent spiritual root aptitude. According to the laws of genetic inheritance, her aptitude should at least be poor, and it's impossible for her to have none at all.
This situation means that her superpowers are being hidden.
Bo Yiyan kept provoking Qu Lingyun, causing her to want to give up the fight whenever she felt pain, but then regain the courage to fight because of her hatred for him.
