He ate Tianshou Pearl and recovered from his injuries overnight. The woman disappeared and he thought he had met a goddess or a fairy.
He was unwilling to leave and kept shouting for the woman. When he was sleeping in the open air and was trembling with fear from the roar of wild beasts at night, the woman appeared again and spit out a Tianshou Pearl in front of him.
This night, the women stayed with him, allowing him to spend the night peacefully.
When he woke up in the morning and found that the woman was missing again, Zhang Xiaozhu was not as panicked as last time.
After taking the Tianshou Pearl, he clearly felt that his body became stronger. He was ecstatically convinced that he had met a goddess and that what he had taken was a miracle medicine.
After that, he stayed in the mountains for a month, using the same method to summon his own goddess and harvest the magic medicine.
Until he found someone else going up the mountain, Zhang Xiaozhu, who was afraid of being discovered by others, chose to leave.
Afterwards, he ground the Tianshou Pearl, which he named the magic medicine, into powder, returned to the pharmacist’s side, gained the pharmacist’s favor, and gained attention and fame that he had never had in his life.
However, when the Tianshou Pearl was used up, he, who had grown up, was gradually called a waste of talent, and even suspected that the miracle medicine he had made before was not made by him, etc.
Zhang Xiaozhu suddenly realized that so much time had passed. He was so indulged in vanity that he had forgotten the most important asset – as long as he had the goddess in the mountain in his hands, was he still afraid of running out of the magic medicine?
He returned to the mountain where he met the goddess, and used the method of his childhood to call out for three days without seeing the goddess appear.
From expectation to dissatisfaction to resentment, Zhang Xiaozhu felt that the goddess had betrayed him.
After persisting for another half month, the resentment turned into panic again.
Without the magic medicine, his life would never be the same.
Another month passed, after trying various methods, even self-harm, but nothing worked.
When Zhang Xiaozhu came down the mountain in despair, he accidentally saw a child going up the mountain to collect firewood. At that moment, he felt blessed.
He caught the child, fed him poison and threw him to the place where he first met the goddess. He hid in the dark and waited. Finally, when the woman appeared, he cried with joy and ran to the woman desperately.
But the woman looked at him warily, and a vine pierced his calf.
“It’s me!” Zhang Xiaozhu shouted, “It’s me, your Xiaozhu!”
He responded with more vines attacking his chest.
Zhang Xiaozhu almost died at this moment. He stumbled away and came back by eating the last Tianshou Pearl specially reserved for himself.
He came back to life with hatred rushing to the top of his head.
He found the child’s parents, pretended to be a fake and asked them to go to the mountain to find someone, and then continued to observe in the dark.
Then he found that the child was found by his parents, and the goddess disappeared again.
