Chapter 374: Pill, Decision, & 1st Sacrifice (1/2)

Jayden was still shocked by everything that happened, and everything he saw in those moments, everything seemed so true, everything seemed so real.

What was all that he saw!? Were those the dreams or thoughts of someone, or something else altogether?

Could it be that everything he saw in there was real and had happened in the past? What about now!? Would the same thing happen again?

But more importantly what was this pouch, and what held within!? It seemed like it was some kind of devil or demon, but it was really powerful.

He had never felt that pressured even when facing his own grand-grand-grandfather. In there he felt like he couldn't even breathe, like the air around him had totally disappeared.

At that moment he could even feel like his heart, and his sea of conscience were being pressurized and there was some kind of a heavyweight on top of them, ready to crush them to pieces.

Everything felt so real and surreal at the same time, so he couldn't really understand what had happened in there.

While, he was still wondering what he had gone through a moment ago, his eyes fell on the little jade bottle in front of him.

Looking at that little jade bottle made him slowly relax, he could feel that his mental state, the emotional state was slowly resting and relaxing.

Slowly he started to think about things without panic, but on what mattered most at the moment. The old pouch was still in his hands.

Even though he had been inside that space, he had come out of it alive, and whatever happened in there was still a possibility.

Relaxing more, he got more concentrated on the jade bottle, if the bottle itself was so precious, then what about what it held inside.

Opening the lid of the jade bottle Jayden's nostrils were immediately hit by the deft medicinal aroma of the pill inside the bottle.

At that moment he could feel like his cells, and the whole being was craving for this medicine. It was like this medicine was vital for him.

It was so weird this was the first time he could feel something like this, but he didn't take it immediately, there was the chance of this thing being a poison in disguise or something to harm him.

But inside that space, he had already been in that being's order, and will. His life and death were at his will, and so was his body, or mind.

Furthermore, he was already poisoned, and that being probably had not even the least interest in possessing such a weak and powerless body.

Remembering what he saw inside the space, his mind started to quickly work and he thought that perhaps what that being wanted or needed were sacrificial lambs.

Perhaps he was just being tested, or raised to become some kind of disciple or student for that being, after all, if he hadn't been poisoned he would be a genius to this day.

Thinking like this without holding back anymore, deciding to try his last drips of luck, he took the pill with a little bit of hesitation.

The moment the pill entered his throat, and then stomach though he could feel a warm stream of energy pass through his system, and was slowly being spread in every cell of his body.

Whenever the energy went, it would slowly enrich the cells with energy and take out any waste or poison inside them.

Jayden was clearly stupefied at this moment, because his grand-grand-grandfather had used so many favors and so much wealth to find him a cure or anything of like, and he wasn't able to.

The closest he had gone to finding something that could help him was a level 6 Body Cleansing Pill, he didn't know if what he had just taken was precisely that but the truth was that he didn't care.

His body was being cleansed from the poison he had in his system, and slowly he could feel his strength and potentially get back to him.

All the mocking and bullying he had suffered until now from his brethren, his brothers, his cousins, his uncles, and aunts would now stop.

He would once again show to all of them who he was, and why his grand-grand-grandfather had once trusted and became so attached to him.

The genius of the Smith family would once again rise above all and would take its former glory once again. This time nobody would be able to stop him in any way.

As his body and all his cells were being cleansed from the poison inside his body, a black-green matter with a putrid smell was coming out of his skin, all over his body.

But he didn't have the time or the desire to think about that, as right now there was something more important for him, he was finally getting cured.

When the warm stream inside his body disappeared, he could feel that his entire body was almost totally clean, there was still a bit of residue, but he could take care of it slowly by cultivating.

Right now he felt himself like a reborn man, he felt like this was a second chance for him in life. From now on, with the help of the pouch, he could be the strongest person on the whole planet.
