Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

After his body completely adapted to the cold toxin of the Magic Ice Herb, Zachary began to use his own martial energy to refine the toxin in his body. He made the toxin course through his entire body.

Six hours later, Zachary had successfully refined the cold toxin of the Magic Ice Herb, completing his first refinement.

Arduous it might be, it was just the beginning for Zachary. As soon as he finished the first one, he quickly shifted his attention to the next poisonous herb to refine. However, as the toxicity of the herbs rose, the refining process became more and more difficult and painful.

The sun was already rising on the horizon when finally, Zachary finished refining four different types of poisonous herbs. He had successfully taken the first step of his plan. He was exhausted, but satisfied.

That same morning, he still had a morning training to attend, so he halted his refinement, left the system, and went to the Heavenly Cloud Square.

Fabian's ill intentions backfired on him. The day before, he deliberately made things more difficult for Zachary so he could watch him fail. However, when the latter overcame the struggle, he became even more popular among the disciples of the Dignified Supernal Sect. Therefore, as soon as Zachary appeared on the Heavenly Cloud Square, he was immediately surrounded by numerous disciples. They benefitted heavily from him, so they regarded him with utmost respect.

"He just did it because he loves you. You are his only family left, so he doesn't want you to be blinded by hatred and lose the things that matter most to you," Zachary answered sincerely and earnestly.

"I don't think anything matters anymore. I grew up in harsh conditions. As a girl, I was always bullied and pushed aside by others. My desire for revenge is the only thing that propelled me to where I am right now. My sight is entirely clouded with fury. All I know is I have to avenge my parents. But later I found out that I still have a grandfather, and the person who killed my parents is one of his enemies. Tragic it may be, I can't blame him for that. I can't pin my anger on the only family I have left. I can only hate the person who killed my parents." Susie chewed on her lip, looking a little pained. Her struggle and her anger were bared and exposed.

"It seems like there's still a part of you that still blames your grandfather. After all, if he didn't have a feud with others in the first place, your parents wouldn't have been caught in between." Zachary understood how Susie felt.
