"You know as well as I do that my aptitude is poor; reaching the Golden Core Stage is nearly impossible for me. But the young master of the Dan Sect—he can give me everything I want. I have spent years consuming medicinal pills, and my body is riddled with pill toxins, yet in five years, you couldn't even scrape together 20,000 Spirit Stones to buy me a single Purple Thunder Pill to purge them. But for that young master of the Dan Sect, whose grandfather is a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator and whose family owns the entire sect, a Purple Thunder Pill is nothing more than two months' worth of pocket money. It is effortlessly within his reach."
"We broke our backs for five years, begging and pulling strings, only to fail to get what others can obtain with a mere flick of a finger. Tell me, why is that?"
"Lei Junjian—the title sounds imposing. But can you really kill that shameless scoundrel? Even if you did manage to kill him and retrieve a Perfect Foundation Establishment Pill, then what? Once we reach the Foundation Establishment Stage, will we have the resources to continue cultivating? I am done with your beautiful, delusional fantasies. All I want now is a life where I don't have to worry about food, clothing, or the resources for cultivation."
