Upon hearing Lady Zhang's words, Lian Manman was left speechless for a long while.
Lady Zhang's words could be said to represent the thoughts of many people from this era. They believed in deities, in these Immortal Pills and Elixirs, and in praying for blessings through rituals. However, these things were not always effective, an unavoidable fact that everyone saw.
