Chapter 455
This was the effect Olivia wanted.
She wanted all her clansmen to see her true strength.
She was called rampant and arrogant, accused of only knowing how to enjoy exquisite food, and
labeled as extreme and irritable. All the traps that First Elder had laid for her were useless tricks.
As long as she was strong enough, so strong that everyone looked up to her, being arrogant would turn
into having a personality. She was also worthy of eating exquisitely and extravagantly.
What was wrong with people with great talent being arrogant because of their talent? So what if people
with great ability were arrogant and domineering?
This was the right a genius deserved!
Only those who were useless and not capable enough had to lie low. She did not. have to do so!
The preparations were done very quickly. After a while, the people below had placed ten pills on the
table.
Kane leaned over to take a look and asked, “Are we going to announce the name of the medicine like
the previous time?”
Olivia’s expression was calm as she sat steadily on the chair. She didn’t even look
up slightly and she
at the pills. When she heard Kane’s question, her lips curl he didn’t even look
Kane chuckled and touched the back of his head. He joked, “Saintess, aren’t you afraid that I’ll cheat
and copy your answers?”
Olivia lifted her eyelids. Her eyes had a pretty shape. It was not too big or too small, and it gave off a
feeling that she was reserved.
When she lowered her eyes, she was charming and moving. When she looked up, she immediately
exuded a powerful aura.
Kane was stunned and stared at her without blinking.
Olivia nodded lightly and said in a gentle and serious tone, “I’m the Saintess, the role model of the
Flores family, and the faith of all you clansmen. It’s my duty to teach you how to identify medicine and
differentiate it from poisons. How can you say that you are copying me?”

clansmen.

red his eyes.
His chest heaved up and down, and there were complicated and strong emotions surging in him. The
impact made his entire body go limp and numb, and it hurt. So this was the purpose of the Saintess‘
existence?
He thought of the history books he had read when he was young. He thought that the Saintess who
had led the family forward hundreds of years ago would never appear again.
He did not expect to meet her today.
Kane looked up, a
a burning light flashed in his eyes.
The competition began. Olivia walked to the pills and rubbed it between her fingers. After three to five
seconds, she said, “Insect–repellent incense can drive away poisonous insects, snakes, and ants
within a five–meter radius, but…”
Olivia frowned and suddenly stopped speaking.
But what?
Everyone’s interest was piqued by her words.
Especially Kane. He held the pill and smelled and tasted it before confirming that it was insect–
repellent incense.
He turned to Olivia curiously. “‘Saintess, this is indeed insect–repellent incense. Do you feel that
something is wrong?”
In just a short while, Kane had already started to address the Saintess respectfully. The elders at the
side had gloomy gazes. They felt that the development of the matter was getting more and more out of
control.
Second Elder couldn’t help but ask, “Saintess, do you think that there’s something wrong with this pill?
Or do you think that this isn’t insect–repellent incense, but soul–calming incense?”
The insect–repellent incense and the soul–calming incense were two pills with completely different
effects. However, their appearance and smell were very similar. They were both slightly yellowish
granules and had a faint fragrance. Olivia did not look at Second Elder. She took a tissue and wiped off
the powder in her hand. Then, she said unhurriedly, “It’s insect–repellent incense, but the quality is a
little poor. This is a formula from 300 years ago, right? The main ingredients, geraniums, are now being
artificially cultivated. Aren’t you going to consider the changes in the medicinal properties?
“Even if we don’t consider the medicinal properties of the ingredients, we still have to make some
innovative improvements. It’s been three hundred years, but there hasn’t been any improvement at all.
It’s no wonder the Flores family is declining day by day!
As soon as she finished speaking, it was as if a stone had fallen into a calm lake
rantly causing ripples.
od Elder & face instantly turned red and he immediately berated, “Nonsensel
Absolute nonsense! This is an ancient prescription, passed down by the ancestors of the Flores family.
How could you change it just like that?”
“What a joke.” Olivia’s tone was mocking. “Three hundred years ago, the Flores family was still in the
Hushe Republic, wearing long robes and shoes made from canvas. Why are they hiding in a corner of
the Wayne Country now, wearing suits and trousers? Why is it that the land and the clothes of the
ancestors change, but the formula of the ancestors can’t be changed?
“Is it you who respect ancient prescriptions, or is it because you do not have the ability to improve
them?”
The series of questions made Second Elder’s face turn red, and he couldn’t say a word.
The other clansmen were also stunned by these sudden questions. None of them dared to speak.
Young people nowadays were not like before, where they listened to their elders. and did not have their
own thoughts. Now, young people sought new changes and had their own opinions.
Therefore, although they felt that Olivia’s words were a little aggressive, it was not completely
unreasonable.
Even the grain seeds improved every year and underwent various evolutions. Why couldn’t they
improve ancient prescriptions as well?
Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, First Elder had no choice but to say, “The Saintess
is right. This is indeed the ancient prescription from 300 years ago. It lacks innovative improvements,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbut not all prescriptions can be improved.
“The insect–repellent incense has already reached perfection. There is no room for improvement. This
was a treasure left behind by our ancestors. Naturally, we have to inherit it well.
“Although the Saintess‘ idea is good, she’s still too young and radical. The words “innovation and
improvement” can’t be used everywhere.”
First Elder’s words were so reasonable that the clansmen nodded repeatedly. Especially the older
clansmen. They also felt that the Saintess was still too young. Young people were impulsive and only
knew how to change things. They didn’t recognize the good things passed down by their ancestors.
Seeing that the situation had turned around, a smile appeared on First Elder’s lips. He was about to
belittle the Saintess when her cold voice sounded in his ears.
Who said there’s no room for improvement? If you’re not capable enough, then Bay you’re not capable
enough. Be honest and don’t find excuses.
At this point, Olivia stepped forward and crushed the insect–repellent incense. Then, she said. “Add
120 grams of rosemary, 40 grams of realgar, and 80 grams of
Huino: Reconciliate them and the effect will be better
Seeing that Olivia had blurted out a prescription, First Elder’s anger intensified. This was too ridiculous.
How could a prescription be changed so easily? He had not gone too far just now and had already
given her respect. Why was she still so insensible?
First Elder was filled with hatred and his jaw was tense.
The other elders also frowned and pondered. They felt that the Saintess was messing around.
When Dakota saw this, she quickly walked to Olivia’s side and said in a low voice, “Saintess, stop
fooling around, ancient prescriptions can’t be changed just like that. Even if you want to improve it, you
have to enter the laboratory and let the elders. who are proficient in pharmacology improve it step by
step. It doesn’t matter if you don’t change it well. It would be bad if it was poisonous and hurt people.”
Most people agreed with Dakota’s words.
“That’s right, that’s right. The Saintess is being too childish.”
“That’s right. Previously, I admired the Saintess for being so powerful, but in the blink of an eye, she
started fooling around again. The elders are so angry that their faces turned red.”
“Sigh, the Saintess is still too young after all.”
In any case, no one believed Olivia’s words. After all, improving the prescription had to be done
carefully. They felt that Olivia had been too impulsive.
