LOGINClaire thought she would be the first, but Momo Sun—her most reliable subordinate, had arrived already.Seeing the other woman, she smiled, "What brings you here this early?""Good Morning, Ms. Wilson," Momo smiled in greeting. "Actually, I went to the Qi Temple, hoping to get a health charm for the family… but I got nothing. It's so frustrating!""Got nothing? How?" Claire asked in curiosity. "Were they closed?""Oh, they were open," Momo shrugged. "But I misremembered Master Jeevika's schedule—he's only coming tomorrow, so I went for nothing.""Master Jeevika?" Claire frowned, murmuring. "Actually, I think I've heard of that name before."Momo grinned. "He's quite famous—one of the youngest high monks in the country, whose insight into Buddhism far surpasses most. He has been traveling between every major temple for the past two years, giving sermons and blessing mystic items. And it's said that his charms are special.""Really?" Claire exclaimed in surprise."Of course!" Mom
Suzanne's words cleared any qualms Stephen had, and he asked her, "So, when do you think I should make contact with Ms. Wilson, talk to her about it?"Suzanne replied, "Jeevika will be arriving at the Qi Temple in two days, first thing in the morning. Madam Wade's instruction was to lure Ms. Wilson over, and then Jeevika will create an opportunity for you both to have a talk.""Jeevika…" Stephen smiled and asked, "He's now a famous monk, I believe?""Yes," Suzanne nodded and sighed. "He's wise in both Tao and Buddhism, and progressed rapidly thanks to Madam Wade's guidance. Even after his initiation into the Buddhist order, he still serves Madam Wade before anyone else.""And how do we lure Ms. Wilson over?" Stephen asked.Suzanne smiled. Are you aware that Ms. Wilson owns a company?""Of course," Stephen nodded. "It was Charlie who encouraged her to start out with her own workshop, with plenty of bigwigs in Aurous Hill heading over to celebrate its opening.""Yes," Suzanne repl
As Stephen finished, he looked up at the moon, shrouded by clouds up in the air.Taking a deep breath of the dank, cold winter air, he then sighed. 'I'll be honest—I'm not used to the coldness of the south, and I can't help remembering Charlie. During his first winter at the orphanage, he would be curling into himself under his blanket from the cold."The place was simply rundown and didn't have a room heater, and only a single sheet of glass insulated the windows. I really wanted to do something for him, but was worried that it would draw the wrong attention and had to allow him to suffer frostbite for the first time. I was in Eastcliff, only able to weep for him that winter…"Suzanne nodded and sighed. "The orphanage director sent photos of his limbs and ears getting bruised from the cold, and Madam Wade was often crying looking at them. But in hindsight, those hard times were essential for his life. Without it, there's no way he would have become the man he is today."Stephen no
After taking a few days' break at Aurous Hill, Charlie flew to Gaston down south.With the year-end of the Oskian calendar, the days were becoming colder, so Gaston was a good spot with its warmer climate.Tanya's last stop was in Rochester, and once the last concert was over, he would fly back to Aurous Hill immediately, and boarded a flight to the Maldives with his family.He was starting to feel spent after tagging along with Tanya's tour, and couldn't wait to get some proper rest during the Oskian New Year.It was not physical fatigue either—he just needed to set his mind at ease and unwind.But while he followed Tanya's tour to Gaston, a freighter had berthed in Gaston's East Harbor.It was an Oskian-registered freighter returning home. The crew would unload all shipments before taking a break, and then weigh anchor for another voyage to Europe.And amongst them was a geezer working as a chef, whom everyone called Mr. Marsden. In reality, he was Stephen Thompson, who serv
Both women traded glances, nodding at the same time as they put the pill in their mouths.Even before they took it, they could feel the abundant Reiki in the pills that threatened to burst out.Cultivators were always attuned to the presence of Reiki, and the mundane world lacked any they could absorb. That was why their senses were tingling as soon as they touched the pill.Fighting back their excitement, they ingested the pill.In an instant, the pill turned into a stream of warmth, as the abundant Reiki flowed straight into their stomach, and along their meridians to their Sea of Consciousness."They were mentally prepared for the Jumbo Cultivating Pill to be far stronger, but as they melted inside their bodies, they were shocked by the sheer volumes of Reiki.The Jumbo Cultivating Pill must contain a few dozen times the amount of Reiki in a single Mini Cultivating Pill!Pills were supposed to be medicine taken when you're ill. If the dosage is small, the effect would be weak
"Jumbo Cultivating Pill?!"Both women were left gaping in disbelief.Even if they had taken the Mini Cultivating Pill, Penny had never seen a normal Cultivating Pill, let alone the Jumbo Cultivating Pill.In comparison, Ruby was personally groomed by Fleur and heard her talk about the Cultivating Pill. So she knew that the normal Cultivating Pill was much better than the Mini Cultivating Pill, but also knew full well that she was not getting such a precious pill from Fleur.After all, aside from Fleur herself, only the Three Grand Elders had taken the Cultivating Pill.But now, Charlie had said he was giving them the Jumbo Cultivating Pill?!Just from the name alone, it must be even better than the normal Cultivating Pill, something which they never dare yearn for… let alone the Jumbo!And seeing their shock, Charlie chuckled, "As its name suggests, its better than the normal Cultivating Pill, and helps a lot for your present cultivation."Ruby and Penny were stunned beyond wor
”Alright then, since you know your own place.”At this time, a middle-aged man stepped forward and said, “Jasmine! Reuben! It looks like your grandpa is not going to make it!”Anthony quickly asked, “’Where’s the old man? Please lead me to him so I can take a look at his condition.”“He’s in his room a
At that moment in the room, a lean middle-aged man who was wearing a blue shirt was holding a compass as he looked around the room, muttering some words. Jasmine was standing with her back facing the door. However, as soon as she heard someone knocking on the door, she turned around before asking, “
“What? A trick on the family?”Graham was stunned for a moment.Charlie was the only one who had done anything to change the Feng Shui of the Quinton family recently.Graham was very convinced with Charlie’s skills and abilities. Therefore, he quickly asked, “Mr. Yaleman, are you sure about this? There
When Charlie saw the sixty-inch television falling toward Jasmine’s feet, he quickly took a step forward and grabbed her hand before pulling her into his arms.The television set fell and hit the ground with a crash!The television casing and screen smashed to the ground, a piece of shattered plastic
