"What does he want to do?" This was the thought of everyone as they stared intently at Yu Tian's back, watching him pull something out of his Storage Ring, which turned out to be a simple healing pill.
Gulp
"This..." One of the people who recognized the healing pill in Yu Tian's hand couldn't help but swallow nervously. "A seventh-grade healing pill..."
"!!!" The hall was completely silent, so everyone heard the muttering of the person who recognized the pill in Yu Tian's hand. They couldn't believe their ears, as it was clear that a seventh-grade pill wasn't something given to others so carelessly.
"No, this isn't just a seventh-grade healing pill," said another, more experienced person as he stared at the pill in Yu Tian's hand with eyes wide as saucers. "This is a seventh-grade Body Reconstruction Pill, which is said to destroy the body and then rebuild it. Although the process is excruciatingly painful and destroys all of one's strength, it greatly enhances the talent of those who can endure it to the end. That's why it's highly sought after by those with low talent, as it's a chance for them to be reborn and soar into the sky."
"As that man said, this is a seventh-grade Body Reconstruction Pill," Yu Tian said indifferently as he gazed at Xiao Tao. "You should be aware of the current state of your body. It's almost impossible to save you and allow you to continue as a Cultivator. But if you take the Body Reconstruction Pill and endure to the end, not only will your injuries heal, but your talent will also increase. However, do you have the courage to take it?"
"..." Xiao Tao stared at the pill in Yu Tian's hand, desire clear in his eyes. As Yu Tian had said, he knew the state of his body well and was aware that it was impossible for him to continue as a Cultivator, even if he took healing pills. But that didn't mean he would blindly accept the Body Reconstruction Pill from Yu Tian without questions or doubts.
"What do you want, and why are you helping me?" Xiao Tao asked in a hoarse voice, forcing himself to swallow the blood in his throat. He knew that in a world where the strong devour the weak, there was no such thing as a free meal.
"I don't need a reason to help others," Yu Tian replied with a simple smile. Though living in the ATG World had made him hard and indifferent to the lives of others, his kind nature hadn't changed. He was still willing to help others, but only when the other person wasn't his enemy. "So, will you take it or not?"
Upon hearing Yu Tian's words, not only Xiao Tao but everyone in the room stared at him in disbelief. To them, there was no point in helping Xiao Tao. Without benefits, they wouldn't do anything. That was their nature and how the world worked. If you couldn't gain anything, there was no reason to act.
"Thank you." After a moment of thought, Xiao Tao no longer hesitated, as this was his only chance to rise, or he would die without the ability to do anything. "I, Xiao Tao, will not forget this favor, and if I survive this ordeal and rise, I will make sure to properly thank Elder Yu in the future."
After speaking, Xiao Tao did not hesitate to take the seventh-grade Body Reconstruction Pill from Yu Tian's hand and swallowed it without hesitation. He knew he would either die trying or succeed and become a dragon among men.
"Good luck," Yu Tian said as he disappeared from Xiao Tao's sight and reappeared in his seat, sipping wine indifferently.
"Sect Master, I will take care of Xiao Tao," said the 3rd Elder of the Seven Blades Sect seriously. Although Xiao Tao had been an ordinary disciple before, if he endured the effects of the Body Reconstruction Pill, he would become a genius who could lead the Seven Blades Sect to new heights.
"Take good care of him," the Seven Blades Sect's Sect Master said as he gazed deeply at Yu Tian. "But if there is no hope for his survival, ignore him."
Although the Seven Blades Sect's Sect Master was curious about Yu Tian, who helped others without expecting anything in return, he had no interest in following his example. In his eyes, there was no point in helping someone worthless. On the other hand, if he saw that helping someone would benefit him, he would go out of his way to assist them and bring them to his side, as he was now trying to do with Xiao Tao.
"Understood," the 3rd Elder of the Seven Blades Sect nodded calmly. He shared the same thoughts as the Sect Master. Normally, he wouldn't care about trash like Xiao Tao, but that had changed now. If he helped him and took him as a disciple, it would bring him many benefits.
The 3rd Elder of the Seven Blades Sect wasn't the only one thinking this way; all the Elders of the Seven Blades Sect were thinking the same. Unfortunately, they were slower than the 3rd Elder, who had acted before anyone else.
"Then, I shall take my leave now," the 3rd Elder of the Seven Blades Sect said, and in the next moment, he vanished and reappeared beside Xiao Tao.
"..." The 3rd Elder of the Seven Blades Sect stared at Xiao Tao with a glimmer of greed before grabbing his shoulder and disappearing. Despite his hidden motives, he quickly controlled himself, not knowing whether Xiao Tao would survive this ordeal or not.
