Chapter 2910: Be My Guest
Rean shook his head in response. "No, we don't want to wait. We have always been very lucky, so we think it will work for us."
The attendant sighed in response. "Well, that's up to you. But you must understand that they only cost ten Rank One Spiritual Stones exactly because of their very little chance of success. Besides, the breakthrough will be quite bad for your developing bodies. Are you sure you want it?"
"Yes," Rean and Roan confirmed.
"Very well," the attendant nodded and took Rean's twenty Spiritual Energy stones.
Rean and Roan waited for him to come back while they felt their surroundings. 'Even now, we still have a Divine Sense on our backs, someone in the Saint Realm, it seems,' Rean commented.
'He will give up very soon,' Roan wasn't worried. 'The fact we are buying these pills that are bad for the cultivator's foundation will make him think twice about this vigilance. He will simply conclude that we are really kids that don't know any better.'
'I'm surprised they insisted on it until now, to be honest...' Rean shrugged.
Somewhere else in the Gondel Clan, a woman watched the twins with her Divine Sense, just like Rean and Roan mentioned. She could see what they asked. She also followed them during the last ten days, and the two 'kids' truly only did the menial tasks. If anything, she considered the two of them quite diligent in tanking so many tasks to gather those few Spiritual Stones.
However, she couldn't help but sigh after seeing what they were trying to buy. 'The attendant even warned them, and yet they insisted on buying those two pills. Even if they work, it will affect their foundation. I guess youngsters will always be youngsters. That's quite normal when you think about how they came from an isolated village in the middle of nowhere. They know the value of hard work but don't know how to use the many benefits the clan provides. Quite a shame...'
Rean and Roan didn't know what she was thinking. They simply took the pills and asked the attendant like innocent little boys. "Sir, how do we use them? We just need to swallow?"
The attendant felt even worse for the twins. "Yes... just swallow and sit. You will feel the pills transform into a wave of energy that will flood your body. If they work, your bodies will begin to change. Bones will get harder, organs more resistance, meridians will be created, and you will gain spiritual vision. Finally, a Dantian will appear near where your Werdlem Stones are located inside your body. That's when you can be considered Energy Gathering Realm cultivators."
*Gulp, gulp!*
Rean and Roan swallowed the pills right there and then, much to the attendant and the woman's dismay. They didn't even prepare mentally to absorb the pill. Definitely reckless. *Ouch!*
Rean immediately sat on the ground as Spiritual Energy began to circulate in his body. Well, he was just pretending, though. He completely isolated the pill with his Light Element and Spiritual Energy before destroying it with Roan's Dark Element. Obviously, Roan did the same.
Slowly but surely, Rean and Roan's cultivation began to 'rise' at a steady pace. Even Roan put some effort to look like he was in some pain, although he definitely wouldn't gain an oscar for his performance.
The attendant felt helpless seeing that. Swallowing the pill right there and sitting on the ground. Can't they see they are also getting in the way of the store's business? If anyone had any doubt Rean and Roan came from poor backgrounds before, they definitely don't doubt it anymore. Country Bumpkin was the perfect definition of their actions.
Surprisingly or not, Rean and Roan 'did' manage to enter the Energy Gathering Realm after around an hour of pain. They both got up from the ground, sweating rivers and 'feeling pain' all over their bodies.
"You didn't say it would hurt so much!" Rean complained.
The attendant's mouth twitched. "What are you complaining about? Look, you are truly as lucky as you said. Both of you managed to enter the Energy Gathering Realm. Now, can you go away? I have more things to do."
Rean and Roan could only turn around. However, Rean quickly turned around to ask. "Ouch... it really hurt. Errr... Sir, are there Foundation Establishment Pills as well?"
The attendant didn't even know what to say. "Did you hear anything I said? These pills are bad for your body and foundation! If you use Foundation Establishment Breakthrough pills, there will be no way back anymore, alright? Right now, it will be hard, but you can slowly fix your foundation. But if you take pills to get to the next Realm, then your future is pretty much over."
Rean didn't seem to care. "So what? Roan and I saw it! All the cultivators at the age of twelve, like the two of us, are already at least in the Energy Gathering Realm Late Stage or Peak Stage. Most of them are already in the Foundation Establishment Realm! We started too late! We need to catch up, or we will be left behind!"
"You are too hasty..." The attendant insisted.
"Sir, are there pills or not?" Rean asked again.
In the end, the attendant could only nod. "Yes, there are. Low-Level Ones cost 110 Rank One Spiritual Stones each. Once again, you should not use them. There are better pills to give you
better prospects."
"Thank you... ouch, it still hurts..." Rean then turned around and left with Roan. "We will be back for them when we gather enough Spiritual Stones."
Rean complained all the way back to their rooms when, finally, the last Spiritual Sense disappeared. Sure enough, the cultivator in the Saint Realm that was watching them gave up, just like Roan mentioned. The woman just considered the twins a lost cause now. How could they be of any danger to the clan? Rean and Roan even made an effort to look like their cultivations were instable, making it very hard to say otherwise.
Neither Rean nor Roan came out of their rooms for the next three days. They had done many of the Gondel Clan's menial tasks in the last ten days, so they had filled their quota by now. Anyone who asked about them not coming out would simply think they were recovering from their breakthroughs with the pills.
Finally, on the fourth day, Rean and Roan came out of their rooms. "Well then, shall we make a real profit?"
Roan snorted. "Hmph! It was about time. This plan of yours took forever..."
"Hey," Rean retorted. "It was still pretty fast, okay? Now no one will complain if we beat the crap out of other Energy Gathering Realm kids in the arena. We can even challenge a few Foundation Establishments cultivators. By the way, let me do the fights. You will scare our 'generous sponsors' out of the arena if you do it."
"Be my guest," Roan had absolutely no intention of fighting a bunch of kids.
