Chapter 189: Chapter 115: Ruan Liuli, One of the Top Ten with Great Potential in Viscera Refinement_1
Outside Qingshi City, within an extremely large courtyard.
At this moment, thirty-five young boys and girls who had taken the second-generation Yellow Grade Epiphyllum Elixir were sitting cross-legged.
With the naked eye, many people began to show signs of reddening complexions after ingesting the second-generation Epiphyllum Elixir.
All over their body, a scorching and powerful aura began to emerge.
Some could digest that strong energy within their bodies.
Transforming that formidable energy into their own strength.
Similarly, there were also those who couldn’t digest the terrifying power within their bodies, causing the blood vessels hidden under their skin to protrude violently into the void.
The flow rate of blood within their bodies gradually became faster.
Until, those young boys and girls who couldn’t digest the power within them reached the limit of their body’s tolerance.
With a loud bang, their bodies suddenly exploded into countless chunks of flesh.
Splattering onto many other young boys and girls around them.
The smell of blood was very fishy, really fishy, like rust, making people feel somewhat uncomfortable.
The sound of bodies exploding and the splattering of flesh gradually affected the remaining people.
A few of the young boys and girls who couldn’t handle the terrifying power.
Showed signs of terror on their faces.
Their complexions gradually turned pale.
Their bodies also trembled slightly, almost imperceptibly.
Aside from these individuals, there was also another group of people, clenching their teeth and silently persevering.
One with pale skin, still somewhat childlike features.
Not very tall, only about one meter fifty.
A girl who had just reached the age of sixteen was among those who were clenching their teeth and persistently holding on.
Her name was Ruan Liuli.
However, in this courtyard.
Besides the name Ruan Liuli, she also had another name.
To be precise, it should be called a code name.
White Lotus!
Yes, that’s what others called her.
As for the name Ruan Liuli, no one else knew it aside from herself.
…
Regarding her feelings towards the Luo Family.
Ruan Liuli’s emotions were somewhat complex.
Grateful?
Thankful?
Or should she accuse the Luo Family?
Overall, she should probably feel more gratitude towards the Luo Family, right?
After all, it was the Luo Family who reached out to help her when she was about to die.
They gave her food to eat, a room to live in.
Only, what made Ruan Liuli feel uncomfortable was.
The Luo Family didn’t do these things out of kindness or because of their benevolence.
It was because the Luo Family had other motives.
Death Warriors?
Yes, it seemed like Death Warriors.
Everything Ruan Liuli experienced within this courtyard seemed to be geared towards turning her into a Death Warrior for the Luo Family.
To become a Death Warrior who obeyed only the most mysterious old ancestor of the Luo Family.
…
Actually, Ruan Liuli wasn’t an original inhabitant of the Da Feng Dynasty.
She had fled all the way from outside the Da Feng Dynasty.
However, it seemed that Ruan Liuli’s family picked the wrong destination.
Along the path of their escape, all they encountered was war, then more war.
The Da Feng Dynasty had an unusually hot climate.
The land cracked, and droughts struck.
In some places, even locust plagues arose.
In countless areas, crops completely failed.
Within the Da Feng Dynasty, the value of food increasingly became precious as time passed.
Her father, her mother.
All had died on the path of their escape.
Although Ruan Liuli was lucky not to die in the chaos of war.
Without food, in the face of relentless roaming and misery.
All that awaited her was the dead end of death.
…
Death?
Was she really going to die?
If possible, Ruan Liuli didn’t want to die like this; she wanted revenge, to avenge her parents, to avenge her family.
She wanted to make her enemies feel pain.
She wanted to obtain formidable power and personally slay her enemies herself.
But, wishes are always beautiful.
And reality is always cruel.
It seemed… she was really going to die.
Ruan Liuli lay on the ground, weakly gazing at the scorching sun in the sky, silently feeling the hot waves coming from all directions.
At that point, her eyes narrowed in despair.
It seemed that she couldn’t hold on much longer.
It seemed that she was really going to die…
At that time, a feeling of despair slowly emerged in Ruan Liuli’s heart.
Only, just when Ruan Liuli thought.
She could only wait to die where she was.
A figure suddenly appeared before her eyes.
Afterward, she was taken back to this large courtyard, where she learned various assassination skills and continuously received teachings to remain loyal to that mysterious old ancestor of the Luo Family.
…
As time passed.
Suddenly, the next day arrived.
In the early morning, when the sky was not yet fully bright.
Outside Qingshi City, within a large courtyard.
At this time, on the ground.
The number of young men and women still sitting cross-legged had been whittled down to the last thirteen.
“Organ Refinement, breakthrough…”
Just as Ruan Liuli with her pale skin successfully broke through to the Intermediate Stage of Organ Refinement.
She slowly stood up.
The strong cultivation base made her bask in enjoyment.
Only… this breakthrough in cultivation didn’t come without a price.
