Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 780

Andrew said, "The two of you already have a solid foundation. This tonic won't do much for you. That's why I've prepared something different—pills, specifically made for you."

The moment they heard the word pills, Natasha and Dylan's faces lit up with excitement. They watched eagerly, waiting for Andrew to take them out.

However, instead of moving, Andrew simply looked at them and said coldly, "All medicine carries poison to some degree. And pills—especially high-grade ones—are the most dangerous of them all."

He continued, "For an ordinary person, swallowing a single high-grade pill could make their blood boil and explode within hours. The reason is simple—these pills contain an overwhelming amount of energy. So don't assume that just because a pill is rare and powerful, it's automatically good for you."

Natasha frowned. "Darling, are you saying the ones you made for us are high-grade pills?"

Andrew pulled out a small box and placed it on the table. His voice remained indifferent. "These are Cleansing Pills. They will purge all impurities from your body and heal the hidden injuries you've accumulated over the years.

"Once absorbed, your entire physique will be reborn, but only if you can endure the process. I'm warning you now—if you can't handle the pill's effects, the best-case scenario is that your blood vessels rupture and your strength regresses. The worst? You end up half-dead, with your meridians completely destroyed."

Natasha had already reached for the box, but at those words, her hand trembled slightly before she slowly pulled back.

Dylan stared at the pills, the eagerness in his eyes fading, replaced by a trace of fear.

Andrew glanced at both of them, smirking. "Combat training is like rowing against the current—if you're not moving forward, you're falling behind. Martial arts isn't just about fighting others. It's about fighting yourself. It's akin to going against the will of god itself.
