Chapter 2803: The Pill Formula Obtained (1/2)
“However, you just don’t understand me. You don’t understand what kind of person I am, because I, Jin Hong, am not one to develop ill intentions upon seeing the wealth of others, and I am even less of a bandit who only knows how to rob by force. Stealing someone else’s fortune has never been a part of my principles.”
“Everyone has their fortunes and luck. Being able to obtain the droplet of essence blood, that is your fortune and luck. Under the same logic, the legacy left behind by senior ancient Skywolf had chosen me instead of my many clansmen is my fortune and luck. If everyone develops ill intentions upon seeing the wealth of others like what you believe, if everyone robs by force when they see something good regardless of the consequences, this Grand Exalt’s legacy of mine probably would not be in my hands anymore. It would have been taken by the experts in the clan a long time ago.”
Jin Hong said that eloquently and generously, completely originating from the bottom of his heart. And, as he said that, he radiated with righteousness.
Jian Chen glanced at Jin Hong deeply. He could obviously sense Jin Hong’s righteousness. Throughout the vast Saints’ World, he really had not seen a lot of people who could be so generous like Jin Hong. As long as the benefits were large enough, as long as the temptations were great enough, even peak experts who had reached Grand Prime would try and take by force without any sense of shame.
In the past, when he fled through the Saints’ World with the Anatta Tower, there had been many examples of this.
There was also when Xiao Man became the master of the Neptunean Divine Palace. A group of Grand Primes had been drawn over in an attempt to take it by force.
“Jin Hong, let me ask you a question. Do you really not want the droplet of essence blood on me?” Jian Chen asked calmly.
“I do want it. How can’t I want it? If this droplet of essence blood belonged to nobody, I’d definitely contend for it, with the essence blood ending up with the strongest. However, the essence blood already belongs to you. And, I had only obtained the Grand Exalt’s legacy thanks to you opening the place of the legacy. As a result, I will never desire the droplet of essence blood on you, not even a bit. Otherwise, I’ll be betraying myself,” Jin Hong said.
“I hadn’t misjudged you.” The light around Jian Chen gradually subsided, revealing his body. But at this moment, he had already made a complete recovery. Apart from being slightly mentally exhausted, he seemed to be in perfect health.
“Jin Hong, you have a much greater use for this droplet of essence blood. If you leave it with me, it’ll just gather dust, so I’ll give you the essence blood now so that it can return to the person it belongs with.” Jian Chen drifted the essence blood towards Jin Hong slowly. It was not a large droplet, but the terrifying vital energy and power hidden within could be regarded as earth-shaking.
That was because it was on just too high of a level, a level which people could only lift their heads and stare at.
Jin Hong immediately rejected him. “Brother Yang Yutian, you mustn’t do that. If you don’t have this droplet of essence blood, your strength will definitely be heavily affected.” Jin Hong had already come to believe that Jian Chen’s cultivation-defying battle prowess, his tenacious life force that made him seemingly unkillable, and his terrifying recovery rate all originated from this droplet of essence blood.
“Brother Jin Hong, this droplet of essence blood isn’t as useful to me as you think. However, it might even be able to change your fate in your hands. And, I’m not giving this to you for free. I want to exchange it for something.” Jian Chen was unfazed, as if the droplet of essence blood did not mean much to him at all. He remained as composed as ever.
