This was trust without any reason.

Meng Tian didn't say anything more.

If it were useful, they would all have a chance to try.

One had to know that these cores filled several warehouses.

There were about 400,000 Taotie cores.

If this thing were really useful, one couldn't imagine how strong the soldiers would become.

The other deputy generals also wanted to try and dissuaded Han Xin.

He needed to command the soldiers, so they asked him to give the opportunity to others.

But Han Xin remained unmoved, glaring at the generals with wide eyes.

"You don't need to say anything."

"This general will definitely be the first to try this thing."

"There is no trash in His Highness's hands."

"I will definitely be the first to become stronger!"

"You just wait and be envious."

"Even if I have bad luck and an accident happens."

"There is still Grand General Meng Tian leading you in battle."

Han Xin's confidence was resolute and completely unmoved.

Seeing this, the other generals could only give up on persuading him.

Soldiers were immediately found to bring tools to crush the black cores.

Only then did they discover that only the outer skin was black.

Inside was a white, soft substance; fortunately, it wasn't very hard.

Otherwise, wanting to crush the cores would be a difficulty.

Soldiers brought pots and water, put the crushed cores in, and started boiling.

The time of one incense stick passed quickly.

The water in the two small pots was brought to a boil.

A faint, refreshing fragrance wafted over.

Everyone felt comfortable all over upon smelling this scent.

Pores opened up quite a bit inadvertently, and they just felt comfortable all over.

"This thing seems pretty good!"

"I feel comfortable even before eating it."

Wang Li squatted beside the small pot, taking several deep breaths.

This scent fascinated him.

Fortunately, he had shouted quickly; otherwise, he wouldn't have had a share in being the first to try.

At this time, Han Xin was also on the side, his actions almost identical to Wang Li's.

He even fanned his hand, directing the steam from the boiling water toward his nose.

It was as if what was inside was a great tonic, and he wanted to inhale it all into his body.

The surrounding generals watched this scene, also incomparably envious.

It seemed this core had an effect; they felt comfortable just by smelling the scent.

If they actually drank it, would it be even more comfortable?

The sound of people swallowing saliva kept ringing out at the scene.

Even their bodies unconsciously walked forward a few steps.

They were completely attracted by that scent.

The generals spoke up one after another, expressing that they would help the two drink it first.

After all, both of them held important positions and couldn't afford any accidents.

This core-boiled water was very fragrant, but who knew if there would be any side effects?

Regardless of whether there were side effects, they all wanted to be the first and second people to become stronger.

The generals slowly gathered around.

But Wang Li and Han Xin were not people who feared trouble.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Han Xin immediately intercepted them in front of the crowd.

"Do you want to fight?"

"If you want to fight, come together; otherwise, back off!"

The generals smiled sheepishly and didn't dare to step forward again.

His Highness was watching; how could they dare to act recklessly?

Wang Li filled a bowl with the core soup, which was still hot.

He didn't care and lifted it to his mouth.

It scalded him, making him bare his teeth and grimace.

But he didn't cry out.

Seeing that no one dared to come up, Han Xin.

Wang Li had already drunk the core soup.

He also quickly filled a bowl of core soup and drank it down.

Seeing this situation, the surrounding generals didn't want to step forward anymore.

They all backed off a few steps, fearing that the two would fly into a rage and knock them down.

"Do you feel anything?"

"Not yet, how about you?"

"Neither do I..."

Han Xin and Wang Li looked at each other.

Wanting to see if the other had any feelings.

After all, when they ate Taotie meat before, their bodies had effects very quickly.

Now, after drinking it for a while, there was still no effect.

The generals also nervously watched the two.

Wanting to see if there were any changes.

After all, they might also drink this core soup later.

Unless this core soup had no effect; if it had an effect.

Then they would definitely drink it.

Therefore, everyone was nervously watching.

"Your Highness, why does it seem like there's no feeling?"

Wang Li looked at Ying Ying Zi Ye somewhat puzzled.

His Highness had never let him down before.

Was he finally going to be disappointed now?

"Do you think this is a divine medicine?"

"Regardless of what you eat, doesn't there have to be a process of absorption?"

Ying Ying Zi Ye was speechless; how could there be an immediate effect?

At the very least, the body needed to absorb it before there could be an effect.

Otherwise, how could it possibly take effect?

Upon hearing this, everyone felt it really was like that.

Even for effective laxatives, one has to absorb them before having diarrhea.

Everyone could only wait patiently.

The scene suddenly became quiet.

The generals stared at each other, and no one spoke.

This atmosphere gradually became somewhat eerie.
