《Because Of The Dangerous Magical World, I Decided To Be A Mage King On Earth》 Chapter 1 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio In the land of extreme cold, the country of ice and snow, there were countless magic academies in this world called Lance Magic Land. At this moment, in the eastern valley of this country of coldness, a young man was cursing at the sky. ¡°Why did the temperature drop so much? I haven¡¯t even finished making my magic robe. It¡¯s so cold! I¡¯ll go back to earth if the temperature drops any lower!¡± Bai Han, a foreigner from the earth, was now an authentic magician of Lance Magic Land. A year ago, Bai Han was still an ordinary person on earth. One day, on the way to class, Bai Han picked up a silver-white magic crystal. The moment he picked it up, a vast amount of magical power and knowledge surged into Bai Han¡¯s mind. He also instantly knew how to use the magical silver crystal. It was a space element magic crystal that could travel between the two worlds! Furthermore, there was no limit to the usage number, and it could be used at any time! Bai Han didn¡¯t hesitate to travel to the other world and begin his own adventure! This other world was Lance Magic Land. According to Bai Han¡¯s current understanding, Lance Magic Land was a hundred times the size of the earth. The vastness of the world was beyond the imagination of ordinary people. This place was rich in magical elements, giving birth to countless mages and magic academies. They had the ability to fly, burrow, and summon the wind and rain. With a staff in hand, they could control the divine dragons to rain fire and burn everything within a thousand miles! Moving mountains and filling the seas, pouring back rivers, covering the sky and the sun, peeking at people¡¯s minds ¡­ They could be omnipotent! After reaching a certain level, they could even achieve immortality and eternal youth! Bai Han made a prompt decision to stay in this world and begin his journey of learning. He had successfully entered Glacier Magic Academy and become a mage apprentice. In the past year, with his ability to travel between the two worlds, Bai Han had brought back many modern crafts from the earth, including stylish clothes, all kinds of shoes, and gaudy hats. There were also perfumes, lipsticks, and the most popular cosmetic products. With these decent products from the earth, Bai Han had exchanged for a lot of cultivation resources. In one year, he had actually gone from elementary mage apprentice, intermediate magic apprentice, advanced magic apprentice, and cultivated all the way to become a mage! He was the best of the freshmen! Bai Han, who was cursing, suddenly realized that a person had appeared in front of him. It was his teacher. ¡°Bai Han, I just heard you mention earth. Is that your hometown?¡± Ms. Claire, Bai Han¡¯s teacher, dressed in a fiery red robe and asked. ¡°Yes, Ms. Claire, but my hometown has been attacked by bandits. I can¡¯t go back now.¡± Bai Han revealed a mournful expression. ¡°Poor boy. By the way, I am here to tell you that although you¡¯ve broken through to the elementary mage realm, you have to stay humble. The journey of magic training is never-ending. You¡¯ve only just started, and you can never stop working. With your talent, you might have the chance to be an intermediate mage in about ten years of training.¡± Bai Han nodded. The cultivation of magic was divided into five realms: mage apprentice, mage, grand mage, ultimate mage, and supreme mage god. Mage apprentices and mages could be seen everywhere. A grand mage was qualified to be the principal of an academy. As for ultimate mages, they were the core and powerhouses of the world. By casting a casual spell, they could destroy a small country. However, supreme mage gods were the real divine figure! Bai Han was only an elementary mage. ¡°Thank you for your reminder, Ms. Claire. Is there anything else I can help you with?¡± Bai Han looked at his teacher, who seemed to have something to say. ¡°Um¡­ the colored contact lenses you made yourself¡­ Do you still have more?¡± Bai Han was speechless. Just as Bai Han and Claire were conversing, the temperature of the entire academy suddenly rose. In less than a few seconds, it seemed to have turned from winter to summer! In the distance, there was a flash of fire. At the same time, countless buildings began to shake. Claire¡¯s expression changed drastically. She glanced at the communication token in her hand and immediately flew into the air. ¡°It¡¯s the aftermath of the battle between two grand mages who don¡¯t know each other. I¡¯ll help set up a barrier¡­ Ah!¡± BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! In an instant, countless buildings collapsed. Huge rocks fell from the sky, and a rain of fire fell, bombarding Glacier Academy. Bai Han was dumbfounded! ¡°Bai Han, run, run!¡± Numerous teachers, elders, and even the principal of the academy rose into the air, but they were soon shot down! In the distance, a huge fire dragon with a length of a thousand meters and a diameter of fifty meters was wreaking havoc on the academy! Anyone who touched the fire dragon melted, and none of them could survive! The principal, professors, and teachers were all gone. ¡°Fuck! My academy is gone?¡± BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The six magnificent teaching buildings were instantly destroyed by the aftermath of the explosion! The academy¡¯s treasure vault exploded in an instant, and countless treasures scattered all over the ground! Everything had happened within a second! The principal, teachers, the academy, and even the students were no longer here anymore! In just a minute, Bai Han had witnessed Glacier Academy, where he had studied magic for a year, was basically destroyed! Seeing that the enormous fire dragon was about to approach him, Bai Han immediately took out the spatial magic crystal! He could travel back to earth to take refuge! However, when he saw the treasure vault that had exploded a hundred meters away¡­ Fortune sided with him who dared! In the distance, the giant fire dragon was wreaking havoc! Anyone being touched would have no chance of surviving! However, Bai Han held the spatial magic crystal and didn¡¯t activate it. He was going to rob the treasure vault! Bai Han held a speed talisman in his hand and quickly flew to the treasure vault. The ground was scattered with pills, talismans, scrolls, magic books, magic crystals, wands, magic robes ¡­ ¡°Come on, Bai Han! Take whatever you see! Oh no, it¡¯s too late!¡± The fire dragon was approaching him. All the hair on his body stood on end, and he had never been this focused! ¡°Here! There! Come on! There are pills! Here as well! I have to take as many as I can!¡± Bai Han swept through the area crazily! The fire dragon was approaching! The flying rock from the building¡¯s explosion hit Bai Han, piercing his thigh! Bai Han didn¡¯t even blink, enduring the pain and continuing to pick the treasures! ¡°A talisman! All mine! Move! Move! Move! A scroll! A magic book!¡± These treasures, which were usually placed in the treasure vault and required countless gold coins to exchange for, were now scattered all over the ground like rubbish! The fire dragon¡¯s wave of fire was already approaching, and the terrifying burning sensation had already instantly burned Bai Han¡¯s clothes! Bai Han finished picking up the pills, talismans, scrolls, and magic books. When he was about to take the magic crystals, he knew it was too late. Run! At this critical moment, Bai Han activated the spatial magic crystal and returned to earth. The world was spinning! Bai Han returned to his room on earth. On the other side of the dimension, just one second after Bai Han left, the gigantic fire dragon circled around and breathed out, razing the entire Glacier Academy to the ground! Only Bai Han had survived! Bai Han, who had returned to earth, was breathing heavily and sweating all over. The thrill of surviving a disaster caused Bai Han¡¯s entire body to tremble. His breathing fastened, and his heart beat rapidly. After a full half an hour, Bai Han finally calmed down. At the same time, he also came back to his senses. ¡°An ordinary gigantic fire dragon just burned down my academy? It was horrifying! My academy in the other world is gone? My dream of cultivating longevity in another world has been shattered. Can¡¯t I go back to the other world? What should I do now?¡± Chapter 2 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Bai Han put away the spatial magic crystal and gradually calmed down. There was still a strong burning sensation on his back, and waves of intense pain after the burning. His entire back was badly mangled and charred. It was no skin left there anymore. Bai Han took out two light healing talismans and activated them with spiritual power. In an instant, the power of light coursed through his entire body, and the burns on his back began to recover rapidly. ¡°It was too horrible, absolutely horrible.¡± Ever since transmigrating a year ago, Bai Han¡¯s life in the other world had been smooth sailing. He had always thought that with the ability to travel between the two worlds and resell the earth¡¯s crafts, he could cultivate and level up in the other world. Moreover, he might be able to become a grand mage, an ultimate mage, or even¡­ supreme mage god! In fact, this had been the case for the past year! As a foreigner, he was able to gain a foothold in the magic academy and even advance to become an elementary mage! Everything had gone well! Compared to dreams, the reality could be cruel. Who would have thought that the aftermath of the battle between two grand mages who didn¡¯t know each other would turn into a thousand-meter-long fire dragon and burn his academy to the ground! The hundred-year-old academy was reduced to ashes in the span of a breath! ¡°If I didn¡¯t have the spatial magic crystal, I would have died in the aftermath.¡± Bai Han sighed. He couldn¡¯t return to the other world for the time being, for he didn¡¯t know if the fire dragon would still be there. He didn¡¯t dare to take the risk! On the other hand, if he didn¡¯t return, he wouldn¡¯t be able to continue cultivating. His path to becoming a supreme mage god would be cut off! There was no way to cultivate on earth! There were no magic elements! The earth did have some, but they were extremely thin and difficult for any cultivator to sense and absorb. ¡°I wish there were enough magical crystals. Like this, I wouldn¡¯t need to absorb the magical elements of the world.¡± Bai Han shook his head and had a wry smile, laughing at his daydream. Even in the other world, he could only get ten low-grade magic crystals a month. Having enough magic crystals for cultivation was a joke! This idea was a pie in the sky! Suddenly, Bai Han seemed to have thought of something. He rubbed the ring on his finger emotionally! After surviving the disaster, he remembered that he had robbed the academy¡¯s treasure vault. However, at that time, he was close to death and had no time to choose at all, so he picked the treasures up randomly! He took whatever he saw! ¡°Please! Please tell me there¡¯s something good!¡± Bai Han¡¯s eyes were shining as he took out all the treasures he had robbed, and he started to check each of them! There were a total of ten thousand pills! The low-grade pills included six thousand Magic Rejuvenation Pills, a thousand Youth-retaining Pills, Poison-expelling Pills, Cold-Expelling pills, and other pills. Magic Rejuvenation Pills could help mages quickly recover their magical power. They were simple to make and highly practical, so they were the majority. Then, there were about three thousand mid-grade pills, including Light Healing Pills, Spirit Concentration Pills, Body Tempering Pills, and so on. Most of them were divine pills that could bring the dead back to life or were helpful to cultivation. There was not even a single high-grade pill. It seemed that they were not stored in the treasure vault. He then counted the talismans. It wasn¡¯t as easy to take the talismans as the pills. When the pills were scattered all over the ground, he could grab ten thousand easily. There were only two thousand talismans, and their effects were similar to that of pills. Other than the pills and talismans, there were also scrolls! The scrolls were the real treasure! [ Teleportation Scroll: Tear the first scroll and you will be teleported to the location of the second scroll! ] [ Storm Scroll: Releases a thousand-meter frost storm, engulfing everything! ] [ Arcane Wisdom Scroll: Increases the magic you cast by ten times! ] [ Mirror Image Scroll: Copy a powerful spell and release it! ] .. There were a total of 83 powerful scrolls of various sizes. Each of them had overwhelming abilities. One of them was called Flame Explosion Scroll, which was as powerful as a nuclear weapon on earth. ¡°I¡¯m rich now! Let¡¯s look at the magic books!¡± There were only 30 magic books in total, including the training experience from mage apprentices to grand mages. There were also a large number of low-level magic spells, as well as how to make pills, talismans, and so on. It basically included all the basic knowledge. At the very least, it was enough for him to cultivate until he became a grand mage. And finally, the magic crystals ¡­ ¡°Damn it! There are no magic crystals!¡± The delightful smile on Bai Han¡¯s face immediately disappeared, and he was more than frustrated! Without magic crystals, all the other treasures were useless! Only magical crystals could help him with his cultivation. He was unable to return to the other world, and the earth did not have any magical elements. Magical crystals were the only way to cultivate. He was also missing a wand and a robe, which he didn¡¯t have time to pick up. However, the magic crystals were the key! Bai Han sighed. He had been in too much of a hurry at the time, so how could he have had time to think so much? If he had known this would happen, he would have picked up more magical crystals. Feeling the thin magic elements on the earth once again, Bai Han completely gave up hope. The worst thing was that Bai Han didn¡¯t know what the situation was on the other side of the spatial magic crystal. As an elementary mage, he would be dead if he ran back if the fire dragon was still there. He had to at least break through to become a grand mage on earth before he could return. Unfortunately¡­ There were no magic crystals. Bai Han stood up and slowly walked to the balcony, lighting a cigarette. He leaned against the balcony with a melancholic expression. Did it mean his path of cultivation was cut off just like that? He looked at the lights on the street and the people coming and going, but everything seemed colorless to him. After experiencing the beauty of cultivation, he no longer cared about the material comforts on earth. What he was pursuing now was cultivation, as well as the powerful strength and longevity after cultivation. After becoming a mage, one¡¯s lifespan would be extended to two hundred years, while a grand mage could live up to five hundred years old. It was said that ultimate mages and supreme mage gods had lifespans of at least one thousand years, and they might even be immortal. Compared to longevity, money, fame, food, and sex could hardly pique Bai Han¡¯s interest. Even if it was a beautiful woman who stood naked in front of him, he would not ¡­ Wait, a beauty? Bai Han squinted, and his eyes were fixed on a beautiful woman on the street¡­ The jewelry on her neck caught his attention! The light purple jewelry exuded a weak fluctuation of magical elements, which glowed in the dark night. ¡°Is that a magical crystal? Yes! Yes! Yes! Activated Flight.¡± Bai Han immediately leaped from the thirty-meter-high balcony to the ground, then quickly walked over to the beauty. ¡°Excuse me, I would like to¡­¡¯ ¡°F*ck off!¡± The woman waved her hand at Bai Han impatiently. Only then did Bai Han realize that he had not changed his clothes. At this moment, he was shabbily dressed like a beggar. ¡°Miss, may I know where did you get this purple jewelry? ¡± ¡°It¡¯s a magic crystal. It¡¯s definitely a magic crystal!¡± he thought. Bai Han was close to her, and his eyes were fixed on the magic crystal hanging on her chest! He couldn¡¯t control himself but breathed harder and harder! ¡°I bought it. Or how could I get it?¡± This woman clearly didn¡¯t have much patience for beggars. ¡°Where did you buy it?¡± ¡°House of Purple Crystal Love, don¡¯t you know there¡¯s something called advertisement?¡± Bai Han raised his head. At this moment, a huge magic crystal appeared on a huge billboard on the side of the road. It made Bai Han¡¯s heart beat wildly! ¡°The earth actually had magic crystals! And it¡¯s jewelry that can be bought with money! There is hope!¡± he thought. As long as he had enough magic crystals, he would be able to survive on earth. Perhaps he could also become a supreme mage god! Chapter 3 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Gu Shishi had just finished a day¡¯s work and had her private driver send her back home. The moment she stepped into the house, her polite smile disappeared and was replaced by a worried look. The Gu family was an ordinary aristocratic family that had existed for more than two hundred years. Ten years ago, Sir. Gu discovered the purple crystal mine and established the House of Purple Crystal Love. It was only then that this family climbed up to a higher position. Gu Shishi, on the other hand, was a popular celebrity and the granddaughter of the Gu family. Naturally, she became the face of House of Purple Crystal Love. Now, the Gu Group¡¯s assets were spread all over the country, and Gu Shishi¡¯s career was also on the rise. Everything went smoothly. Unfortunately, Sir. Gu, Gu Guofu, suddenly fell critically ill, which made the family members gloomy. Sir. Gu¡¯s children and grandchildren were determined to save him no matter how much the medical bills would be. As for the in-laws, they were already planning for the family inheritance in various ways. After Sir. Gu passed away, they would become rich overnight. ¡°Grandpa¡­¡± In the past sixty years, Gu Guofu had been the rock of the Gu family. Without this man, the Gu family would not be where they were today. He was a well-deserved leading figure in the business world and the Gu family¡¯s support! If Gu Guofu died of illness, the Gu family would very likely fall from being a newly promoted decent aristocratic family to an ordinary one again. Furthermore, Gu Guofu had doted on his granddaughter, Gu Shishi, since she was young. Gu Shishi could not forget how her grandfather supported her career as a singer in the past. He managed the best resources in the entertainment industry for her, encouraging her to reject the marriage arranged by her father. He supported her in starting her business and buying a company, a villa, and a car. Now that her grandfather was in critical condition, Gu Shishi had no appetite and looked devastated. ¡°Dear God, I¡¯m willing to do anything to save my grandpa.¡± Gu Shishi looked at the full-body mirror in front of her. She wished that the mirror in front of her could have become a magic mirror, communicated with her, and made her wish come true. The next second, Gu Shishi was stunned. The moment she finished speaking, a wave of water appeared on the mirror in front of her. The ripples spread out like water in a mirror. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± The next moment, Gu Shishi covered her mouth and took steps back in shock. A man slowly walked out of the mirror! ¡­ Bai Han had already arrived at Gu Shishi¡¯s house. After some investigation, he found out that not only was Gu Shishi the face of House of Purple Crystal Love, but this brand belonged to her family. He had a huge demand for magic crystals, but robbing wasn¡¯t a smart idea. There was no way to attack everyone with a crystal in the street, right? Moreover, it would take him too much time and energy. He came to Gu Shishi¡¯s house with a Youth-retaining Pill. The Youth-retaining Pill could allow a woman to maintain her appearance and not age. This was a treasure that a lot of women dreamed of! As a celebrity, Gu Shishi should be interested in spending a huge sum of money to buy a Youth-retaining Pill, right? However, he changed his mind when he heard Gu Shishi talking to herself. He decided to show up differently. ¡°Invisibility.¡± ¡°Illusionary.¡± These were two very common low-level spells. They used light elements to adjust the light and were basic spells. However, the combination of the two formed the image that Gu Shishi had just seen. Bai Han ¡°walked out of the mirror¡± like a divine figure. ¡°Who¡­ who¡­ who the hell are you?¡± Gu Shishi swore that if it were not for Bai Han¡¯s charming appearance, she would have rushed out of the house and called the police. ¡°I am Bai Han, a mage, or as you called in this world¡­ a deity? You made a wish in front of the mirror. I sensed your sincere heart, so I came out to fulfill your wish.¡± Bai Han had changed into a set of white and light outfits, which made him seem immortal. ¡°You¡¯re a deity?¡± Gu Shishi was a little shocked. She thought that deities were nothing but legends, those only existed in novels and TV shows. How could a deity appear in front of his eyes? ¡°I¡¯m not lying.¡± Bai Han¡¯s lips moved slightly, and he softly chanted two spells. In an instant, a white jade table, two chairs, and a tea set appeared in front of the two. A small water dragon and a small fire dragon showed up and entered the two cups at the same time, turning them into two cups of tea leaves. Bai Han waved his hand slightly, and Gu Shishi floated into the air. ¡°Am, am I flying?¡± He was a deity! Even in this era with such advanced technology, Gu Shishi had never heard of any methods that could make a person float out of thin air! Gu Shishi was carried to the chair. The teacup flew up and landed beside Gu Shishi. ¡°Try this. It¡¯s a newly brewed divine tea.¡± Bai Han also sat down. His expression was calm, but he was already exhausted. He first used his spatial ring to take out the items. Then, he summoned a fire dragon, a water dragon, and flew to lift Gu Shishi and the teacup. Casting a few spells in a row was very tiring! At this moment, to maintain his mysterious image, Bai Han kept an attractive smile on his face. ¡°Deity, you are a deity! Sir, please save my grandfather!¡± Gu Shishi tried to get up. However, after Bai Han waved his hand slightly, Gu Shishi realized that she could not stand up. He was seriously a deity! ¡°Let¡¯s sit down and have some tea.¡± Gu Shishi followed his words, took a sip of tea, and immediately felt refreshed. Her entire body felt comfortable, and some parts of her body suddenly felt itchy. ¡°Our encounter is destined, so this cup of divine tea is a gift for you. The scars on your body, old bone fractures, and any health issue will all be cured.¡± Gu Shishi was overjoyed when she heard that, quickly lifting her clothes. There had been a scar a little below her chest, left by a previous operation. At this moment, it was no longer there! Moreover, after practicing dancing for so long, her knees and ankles had many hidden injuries, bone fractures, and small lumps. All of them had been cured! She was healed! This man was a deity for real! Gu Shishi was finally convinced that Mr. Bai could cure her grandfather. Bai Han also took a sip of tea. ¡°Don¡¯t call me Sir. My name is Bai Han.¡± ¡°Mr. Bai.¡± Gu Shishi greeted him politely, and Bai Han nodded. ¡°I can try to cure your grandfather, but it¡¯s not for free. Your family has something that I want. ¡°I am all ears, Mr. Bai!¡± Gu Shishi was a little nervous. She noticed that Mr. Bai had been staring at her chest. Could it be that¡­ she was what he wanted? Gu Shishi was at a loss. Her grandfather had her like a princess since she was young, and Mr. Bai was very attractive. If he could cure her grandfather, she wouldn¡¯t mind¡­ sacrificing¡­ ¡°It¡¯s all for Grandpa!¡± she thought. Gu Shishi¡¯s heart was beating wildly as she was extremely nervous. Covering her chest, she lowered her head like a shy teenage girl. ¡°I want¡­¡± Gu Shishi was so nervous that she could barely breathe when Bai Han spoke. ¡°I want purple crystals, like the one on your chest.¡± What? Purple crystal? Gu Shishi was taken aback. She felt a little relieved, but a little disappointed at the same time. What he wanted was the purple crystal. ¡°Of course! My family is famous for purple crystals, and this is how we made a fortune. If you can cure my grandfather, we will be willing to pay you with purple crystals.¡± ¡°The market value of this purple crystal is about fifteen to eighteen thousand dollars, and the cost is around ten thousand. How many purple crystals do you want, Mr. Bai? ¡± ¡°Ten thousand!¡± Bai Han finally spoke after a moment of silence. It was a huge amount, worth a billion! Gu Shishi furrowed her brows, looking troubled. Chapter 4 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The market value of ten thousand purple crystals was about 1 billion. Although the Gu family was rich now, one billion in cash and assets were two different concepts. Not to mention, Bai Han asked for one billion purple crystals in the spot. Moreover, the Gu family was not ruled by Sir. Gu, Gu Guofu. The current head of the family, Gu Xingrong, was part of the in-laws, which was Gu Shishi¡¯s grandfather and father. Apart from this group, Gu Shishi also had many uncles holding high positions in the Gu Group. One billion was such a huge amount that it wasn¡¯t just her father¡¯s call. Mr. Bai, ten thousand purple crystals can be¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. Let¡¯s see then.¡± When Bai Han heard that Gu Shishi was about to reject him, he turned to leave without any hesitation. ¡°Wait! Mr. Bai, wait!¡± Gu Shishi panicked! This was the first and only deity she had ever seen in her life. How could she let go of such an opportunity? ¡°Mr. Bai, I am afraid there¡¯s been some misunderstanding. What I mean is that ten thousand is a huge number, so I would need to make a few phone calls to convince other family members.¡± Gu Shishi had wanted to say ¡®discuss with other family members, but somehow she told Bai Han that she¡¯d like to convince them. The Gu Group¡¯s power wasn¡¯t the only reason she could be in the entertainment industry for many years. She was a very shrewd judge of character. She had a feeling that Bai Han would change her life. ¡°Sure.¡± Gu Shishi dialed her father¡¯s number right away. ¡°Dad, I have an urgent and important thing to tell you.¡± ¡°What is it?¡± The person on the other end of the phone seemed to be in a meeting, but Gu Xingrong was very doting on his daughter and immediately suspended the meeting. ¡°I met a deity today. He¡¯s an deity, and he¡¯s very powerful. He has a way to cure grandfather.¡± ¡°A deity?¡± The other end of the phone was silent for a while. ¡°Dad, I know this sounds ridiculous, but he cured the scars on my body after waving his hand. He¡¯s not a liar, and he¡¯s a real deity.¡± Gu Xingrong thought for a while. He didn¡¯t believe it. At least, he wouldn¡¯t believe it until he met this deity. How could there be deities in this world? What a joke! ¡°Did you tell him what illness is grandfather suffering from?¡± ¡°No, I didn¡¯t,¡± ¡°He doesn¡¯t even know what illness it is and said he could heal your grandpa? This is bulls*it!¡± Gu Xingrong snorted coldly. As the head of the Gu family, he was a man of the world. However, he had never seen deities. ¡°Dad! Dad! I¡¯m begging you! This man is a deity. You¡¯ll know when you see him. Don¡¯t you want grandpa to get well?¡± Gu Xingrong sighed after hearing his daughter¡¯s words. Even though he did not believe in anything supernatural, Gu Shishi was right. He dearly wanted Gu Guofu to be healed. At home, he was his father. In public, Gu Guofu was the rock of the Gu Group. Whether it was in terms of connections, knowledge, or decision-making, he had outstanding abilities. Without Gu Guofu, Gu Xingrong was worried that he couldn¡¯t handle this big corporation. ¡°What is this man¡¯s condition?¡± Having been in the business world for a long time, Gu Xingrong knew that there was no free lunch in the world. Even if this person was a doctor with super natural power or extraordinary skills, the price be very high. ¡°Ten thousand purple crystals, he wants the Gu group¡¯s purple crystals.¡± ¡°What? Ten thousand?¡± A cry of shock came from the other end of the phone, and there was a sense of anger in the tone. At this moment, Bai Han spoke. ¡°Tell your father that ten thousand purple crystals in exchange for your grandfather¡¯s health and his life to be extended to 120 years old. I promise.¡± The other end of the phone was silent for a long time before a voice came through. ¡°Alright, it¡¯s a deal. Shishi, please invite him to see me in Eastern Sea city.¡± ¡°Thank you, dad!¡± Gu Shishi was overjoyed when she hung up the phone. ¡°Mr. Bai, I¡¯ll book the flight tickets for you. We can leave right now.¡± Out of her expectations, Bai Han waved his hand. ¡°No, it¡¯s too slow to take a flight.¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll bring you. Let¡¯s fly over there.¡± Gu Shishi was stunned. .. Half an hour later. Gu Shishi felt as if she was in a dream. Mr. Bai was seriously her from the sky to Eastern Sea City. Along the way, they were next to the planes, flying through the clouds. Riding on the clouds and mist, she looked down at the earth like a fairy from a story. In just half an hour, they had arrived at Eastern Sea city! If Gu Shishi still had been suspicious earlier, she no longer had any doubts about Bai Han now! Other than deities, who else could ride the clouds and fly thousands of meters in the air? Deity! He was a deity! ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to use your phone for navigation, Mr. Bai.¡± After Gu Shishi landed, she was slightly nervous and excited. ¡°Well, modern technology is indeed something amazing. For example, I could send messages to the other side of the world with a phone. Even a deity like me can¡¯t do it, which is very impressive.¡± Bai Han acted as if he didn¡¯t know much about the material world. The two of them landed on the top floor of the Gu Group building. Gu Shishi took the elevator from the top floor and went straight to Gu Xingrong¡¯s meeting room. When Gu Xingrong saw Gu Shishi, he was also shocked! ¡°Shishi, how did you arrive this soon? Weren¡¯t you in Yan city?¡± He knew his daughter¡¯s concert schedule very well! ¡°Dad, this is Mr. Bai.¡± Only then did Gu Xingrong raise his head to look at Bai Han. He frowned. He was too young and did not match his imagination. He had thought that it would at least be a white-haired old man, an expert beyond the world. He didn¡¯t expect him to be a young man in his twenties. ¡°Mr. Bai just brought me here from the sky. It only took half an hour to get from Yan city to Eastern Sea city!¡± Gu Shishi¡¯s words caused a commotion in the meeting room. ¡°Fly over? Are they shooting a movie now?¡± ¡°Does she get lost between fantasy movies and reality?¡± ¡°Hmph, deity? If he is a deity, I am Jesus!¡± The members of the Gu family in the meeting room started to discuss. One of them even stood up. ¡°Ms. Gu, we¡¯re in the middle of a meeting. There¡¯s no time for your game.¡± ¡°How can you let this swindler enter this building? Where are the security guards? Take him out!¡± This man was called Gu Xinghuang, Gu Xingrong¡¯s cousin. He always thought he was the smartest, and no one dared to be against him. Bai Han glanced at Gu Xinghuang, then at Gu Shishi. Even though he was smiling, his eyes were filled with disdain and impatience. ¡°You talk too much.¡± This time, Bai Han no longer used his bare hands. He took out his staff for the first time and cast an intermediate spell. ¡°Dog Transformation.¡± A ray of white light flashed into Gu Xinghuang¡¯s body. To everyone¡¯s horror, Gu Xinghuang turned from a human into a big yellow dog! Everyone saw it with their own eyes! ¡°Woof!¡± The dog¡¯s eyes were filled with fear and regret! Deity! This man was a deity for real! The surrounding people hurriedly retreated. Some sat paralyzed on the ground, their legs trembling! In an instant, everyone fell silent. No one dared to speak! What had just happened was horrifying! Chapter 5 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The entire room was silent. Besides Gu Xinghuang, who had turned into a dog and whined occasionally, everyone else was silent. Bai Han¡¯s ability to turn people into dogs was as shocking as taking Gu Shishi flying in the sky. After a long time, Gu Xingrong was the first to regain his senses. ¡°Please calm down, Mr. Bai,¡± He knelt on the ground immediately and said respectfully. The others looked at each other and were about to follow Gu Xingrong. Bai Han waved his hand lightly, and everyone immediately felt a strong force lifting them. None of them could bend nor move their knees. Instead, they could only stand straight in place. Gu Shishi¡¯s breathing was also rapid. A living person turning into a dog in front of her was shocking. ¡°Mr. Bai, please kindly forgive my staff¡¯s innocent behavior.¡± Bai Han pulled over a chair and sat down. With a flip of his palm, a teacup appeared out of thin air. He then had some tea as if he was an immortal figure. Although he looked calm, he was relieved in his heart. Fortunately, Gu Xingrong had pleaded for mercy! He was worried that he wouldn¡¯t react. Dog Transformation could only last for five minutes. Gu Xinghuang would return to his human form in five minutes, even if he didn¡¯t beg him. ¡°I can let him go, but there¡¯s a condition.¡± Bai Han looked at Gu Xingrong. ¡°I am all ears, Mr. Bai.¡± ¡°I want all the assets under his name, including his house, car, and cash. I don¡¯t have a place to live in this world anyway.¡± How could Gu Xinghuang dare to refuse? He had already become a dog; what was the use of money? Even if he had to go bankrupt, he had to turn back into a human! After Gu Xinghuang nodded, Bai Han waved his hand and had him return to his human form. ¡°Transfer your assets to Gu Shishi.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± After witnessing Bai Han¡¯s magic skills, how could Gu Xinghuang still dare to say no? ¡°It¡¯s my great fortune to meet you today, Mr. Bai. May I know when you will be free? My father is in critical condition, and his life is hanging by a thread. Mr. Bai, please save him with your magic skills. Of course, the Gu family will also prepare the ten thousand purple crystals we promised you as soon as possible. You will have everything on time.¡± After seeing Bai Han¡¯s methods, Gu Xingrong had no reason to doubt him anymore. Even if Bai Han said he could resurrect the dead, he would believe him! ¡°Let¡¯s do it now! I have some free time.¡± ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll get someone to prepare the car.¡± ¡°No need.¡± After Bai Han glanced at Gu Shishi, she understood what he meant, took out her pink phone, and turned on the navigation. As everyone stared at them dumbfoundedly, Bai Han took the phone and checked the map. The next moment, he touched Gu Xingrong and Gu Shishi¡¯s shoulders. He silently chanted a spell and then disappeared! In their meeting room, he had disappeared into thin air! It was as if he had directly passed through space! .. Of course, Bai Han couldn¡¯t cast spatial spells. However, he first sealed off Gu Xingrong and Gu Shishi¡¯s vision, then used invisibility, and finally used flight. The chain effect of the three spells gave everyone the illusion that they had disappeared. In less than ten minutes, the three arrived at the Gu residence. When Gu Xingrong opened his eyes, he was already standing at Gu Guofu¡¯s room door. ¡°Mr. Bai is indeed powerful!¡± he thought. He didn¡¯t even know how he got here! It was as if he had returned to the Gu residence instantly! Gu Xingrong quickly knocked on Gu Guofu¡¯s door and entered. At this moment, Gu Guofu¡¯s daughter, Gu Xinglan, was accompanying him in the room. At the same time, three nurses stood by the side, paying attention to the patient¡¯s condition. An older man was lying on the bed with a wrinkled and pale face. His body was also skinny, and he lay motionless on the bed, like a corpse that still had some warmth. Only the faint sound of breathing and the green lines on the instrument could barely prove that the older man was still alive. Hearing Gu Xingrong¡¯s voice, Gu Xinglan turned around. ¡°Xingrong, you are here. ¡± Gu Xingrong put his finger on his lips. He was afraid that his sister would speak nonsense and be turned into a dog. ¡°I brought this divine doctor here. He can heal dad.¡± ¡°Oh, please.¡± Gu Xinglan¡¯s worried face had a hint of joy on it. She trusted Gu Xingrong. Gu Xingrong explained his father¡¯s health state as Bai Han stepped in. ¡°Mr. Bai, my father¡¯s stomach cancer is in the final stage now, and the cancer cells have spread all over his body¡­.¡± Bai Han waved his hand, making Gu Xingrong stop talking. He looked at the patient and noticed that he wasn¡¯t physically disabled. ¡°It¡¯s easy then,¡± he told himself. He took out his staff and chanted a spell to cast an intermediate healing spell. The move was greatly energy-consuming, and even Bai Han could not help but be momentarily dazed. The magic power in his body was almost completely drained. He hurriedly swallowed a Magic Rejuvenation Pill, for he had more than six thousand of them anyway. The intermediate healing spell could heal any injury without missing an arm or a leg. It was also one of the binding spells in Glacier Magic Academy. As an intermediate healing spell entered his body, Gu Guofu, on the verge of death, suddenly opened his eyes. His face turned rosy, and his thin skin seemed smooth now. The wrinkles on his face had disappeared. His appearance returned from eighty to forty years old. The grey hair, the thin and wrinkled hands, and the old face were no longer part of him! Instead, he looked even younger than his son, Gu Xingrong! His sister, Gu Xinglan, was stunned! Mr. Bai was not just a talented doctor but a deity, right? A talented doctor couldn¡¯t have done this! ¡°What¡­ what is going on with me?¡± No one was more surprised than Gu Guofu! He clearly remembered that he was in the final stage of cancer and was gradually losing consciousness. In the past six months, he dragged his sick body and waited for death in a daze. He was not even clear-headed. However, in the blink of an eye, not only did he recover, but he also became much younger. ¡°I promised Gu Xingrong that you will be live till 120, but you were supposed to die at 100 years old. I¡¯ll give you a Longevity Extending Pill to fulfill my promise. You¡¯re 80 years old this year. I¡¯ll extend your life for another 20 years so you can live for another 40 to 120 years old.¡± Gu Guofu was shocked. He was also an outstanding talent of his generation, and he had already understood the situation in a breath. Whether Mr. Bai was a talented doctor or a deity didn¡¯t matter. He was his savior! ¡°Thank you so much! I owe you so much, and I would like to¡­.¡± ¡°Hey! Please don¡¯t say this! You don¡¯t owe me anything; your family will pay for this treatment.¡± Bai Han¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°Don¡¯t even think about reneging on my ten thousand purple crystals like this!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll contact Gu Shishi to collect my purple crystals three days later. If there¡¯s any breach of contract, what happened to Gu Xinghuang will come to you,¡± He looked at Gu Xingrong and said With that, Bai Han touched his white robe without letting Gu Guofu express his gratitude. Once again, he disappeared! Gu Guofu¡¯s eyes were left wide open, and his jaw dropped! Chapter 6 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°Mr. Bai¡­ Is Mr. Bai a deity?! Gu Guofu was so shocked that he immediately sat up, even swifter than Gu Xingrong. Gu Xingrong was so excited that his face turned red. ¡°Yes, Mr. Bai is a deity, and he brought Shishi and me here. We arrived in the blink of an eye!¡± Sir. Gu was the rock of the Gu family. Now that he was in good health, the entire family could also settle down. Gu Guofu was more than thrilled at this moment! ¡°What was the payment thing that Mr. Bai mentioned just now? Send what he asked for over as soon as possible. Don¡¯t keep him waiting!¡± Mr. Bai had saved his life, and he was a deity. Even if they were not friends for now, he didn¡¯t want to offend him. At the thought of this, Gu Guofu put the blanket away and got off the bed. Gu Xinglan still wanted to help him up, but before she could, he had already gotten off the bed. ¡°No, I want to supervise the payment process.¡± ¡°Dad!¡± Gu Xingrong quickly stopped Gu Guofu. ¡°Mr. Bai asked for ten thousand purple crystals. We can¡¯t have this many right away, so we are still working on it.¡± Gu Guofu was putting on his shoes but then stopped. ¡°Ten thousand purple crystals?¡± ¡°Yes. These are the conditions that Mr. Bai promised to save Grandpa.¡± Gu Xinglan covered her mouth. ¡°Isn¡¯t that a billion? Isn¡¯t what Mr. Bai asking for too much?¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Gu Guofu shouted and glared at Gu Xinglan. ¡°Mr. Bai saved my life, and he only asks for ten thousand purple crystals! ¡°Xingrong, prepare ten thousand purple crystals. Send them over as soon as possible. I don¡¯t want Mr. Bai to feel disrespected.¡± Gu Xingrong bent over and helped Gu Guofu put on his shoes. ¡°Dad, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll get my people to gather ten thousand purple crystals as soon as possible.¡± ¡°How many purple crystals do we have now?¡± Gu Guofu asked after some thought. ¡°About two thousand.¡± ¡°Send them over first!¡± Gu Guofu immediately decided! ¡°Shishi, Mr. Bai wants you to deliver purple crystals, send him the two thousand first. Don¡¯t forget to show him our gratitude. Do you understand?¡± Gu Guofu reminded Gu Shishi sternly. Bai Han¡¯s handsome face appeared in Gu Shishi¡¯s mind, and her face turned red. ¡°I understand.¡± ¡°Oh, by the way,¡± what Bai Han said before leaving came to Gu Guofu¡¯s mind, ¡°what happened to Xinghuang?¡± Gu Xingrong told Gu Guofu everything that had happened in the meeting room. ¡°Such an useless bastard!¡± The old man¡¯s angry roar came from the ward. After Bai Han left, he immediately moved into Gu xinghuang¡¯s villa. Gu Xinghuang¡¯s properties in the villa had already been cleared out and replaced with a new batch at the fastest speed possible. Bai Han was lying comfortably on the sofa, his entire body sunken in. There were freshly-made desserts on the coffee table. ¡°Ding Dong.¡± The doorbell rang. Bai Han got up from the sofa and went to open the door. Outside the door was Gu Shishi, who had put in a lot of effort to dress up. She looked even more attractive now. ¡°Hi, Mr. Bai.¡± ¡°Are the purple crystals ready?¡± Bai Han immediately looked behind Gu Shishi. ¡°It will take us some time to prepare the ten thousand purple crystals. We have two thousand over first, and you will receive the rest in three days.¡± ¡°Sure!¡± Bai Han wouldn¡¯t say no. The Gu family sent over two thousand purple crystals, so he would be able to start cultivating. In order to treat Gu Guofu, the magic power in his body had almost been completely drained. The bodyguards in suits and leather shoes carried boxes of purple crystal into the villa and placed them in the hall. Bai Han opened one of the boxes. There were ten exquisite little boxes inside, and each of them had a clear purple crystal on a piece of flannelette. The color of the crystal was deep and pure. Wo hundred large boxes were stacked in the villa¡¯s living room? ¡°Thank you, Ms. Gu.¡± Bai Han smiled at Gu Shishi. ¡°It¡¯s nothing, Mr¡­¡± Gu Shishi pursed her red lips into a smile and wanted to strike up a conversation. ¡°Bang!¡± After thanking Gu Shishi, Bai Han was so focused on using the two thousand magic crystals for his cultivation that he did not pay attention to her words and closed the door directly. The quality of these magical crystals was even better than those in the magic world! Although they were of the same grade as low-grade magic crystals, their effects were much better than those in the magic world. Gu Shishi, who was standing at the door, had a stiff smile on her face. Bai Han immediately opened more than ten boxes and placed more than a hundred magic crystals in a circle. He sat cross-legged in the middle, holding a purple crystal in each hand. After a few minutes, the two magical crystals in Bai Han¡¯s hands turned into powder. Bai Han opened his eyes, pleasantly surprised. Just two magical crystals had almost filled up the magic power in his body! In the following week, Bai Han spent almost all his free time cultivating magic crystals. The Gu family had hired people to take care of the household work for Bad Han. They had agreed to send the remaining magic crystals over three days later. However, Gu Guofu was seriously ill, and several competing companies took the opportunity to attack House of Purple Crystal Love. Moreover, they even tried to take over the purple crystal mine. Gu Xingrong encountered problems while collecting the rest eight thousand purple crystals. Gu Guofu even came to apologize personally and promised to deliver the remaining eight thousand purple crystals as soon as possible. The effects of these purple crystals were better than Bai Han had expected. Furthermore, the Gu family didn¡¯t delay the matter on purpose, so Bai Han did not make a fuss. ¡°Sigh!¡± The magic crystal in Bai Han¡¯s hand turned into powder in the blink of an eye, and his aura continued to rise. The magic power in the air instantly surged, and all of it poured into Bai Han¡¯s body. At the same time, the color of the magic crystals around Bai Han became fainter and fainter. Then, they turned into white crystals, and finally, they turned into powder. When all the crystals had turned to powder, Bai Han finally opened his eyes. ¡°That¡¯s great! I am an intermediate mage now!¡± Bai Han checked his body and was so happy that his face turned red! In just a week, he had turned into an intermediate mage! He still remembered that before Glacier Academy was destroyed by the fire dragon, Ms. Claire had said that there was a chance for him to become an intermediate mage after ten years of cultivation. However, with the help of magic crystals, he only used a week to reach this level! Two thousand magic crystals were enough for him to become an intermediate mage, so the remaining eight thousand magic crystals would allow him to reach the realm of advanced mages! ¡°Ding dong.¡± The villa¡¯s doorbell rang. Bai Han walked out of the room and waved his hand in the corridor on the second floor. The door opened. Gu Shishi was a little stunned as she looked at the door that opened on its own. ¡°You¡¯re here for the remaining purple crystals?¡± Gu Shishi came back to her senses. ¡°Yes, the eight purple crystals are all here.¡± After saying that, she asked the bodyguards to move all the purple crystals into the villa. Without waiting for the bodyguard to make a move, Bai Han directly used Control Spell to move all the boxes from the villa door to his room. The bodyguards were all dumbfounded by this divine power. Gu Shishi¡¯s breathing quickened. ¡°Mr. Bai, can I be your disciple?¡± Bai Han was looking at the purple crystal happily when he suddenly heard Gu Shishi¡¯s words. He frowned. ¡°What?¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t want to take any disciple, I would like to be your cultivation partner!¡± Chapter 7 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Bai Han thought he had heard wrong and repeated her question. Gu Shishi was a little nervous, for her suggestion was bold. However, Bai Han¡¯s extraordinary skills attracted her. What had happened to her grandfather was an alarm for her, for the Gu family relied on him now. Once something happened to her grandfather, those uncles who weren¡¯t core family members would all have their eyes on the properties. Moreover, feeling helpless and hopeless when the loved one was in critical condition was terrible. If she also had Bai Han¡¯s ability, even if it was only one-tenth or even one-hundredth, it was still better than not being able to do anything. ¡°I want to be your disciple,¡± Gu Shishi bit her red lips and repeated. She was embarrassed that she didn¡¯t dare to mention the idea of cultivation partners again. ¡°Mr. Bai, please, I want to be your disciple. Ever since I met you, I¡¯ve always admired you.¡± Gu Shishi placed her bag in front of her and bowed. Bai Han raised his eyebrows without saying a word, but he was pleased. No intermediate mage would refuse such a beautiful woman begging to be a disciple. As expected, he had made the right choice. If the magic crystals could solve the problem, it would be better to be a mage on earth and train until he became a mage god than to live in the magical world. Looking at Gu Shishi, who was still bent over and lowered her head, Bai Han felt on top of the world. However¡­ Although Bai Han wanted to accept her proposal, he still rejected her, ¡°No, I haven¡¯t taken in any disciples yet.¡± Gu Shishi was even more eager to be his disciple when she heard that. Mr. Bai had never had a disciple before, which meant she could be his first one or might be the only one! ¡°Mr. Bai, please give me a chance.¡± Gu Shishi blinked at Bai Han. Her almond-shaped eyes were bright and clear, which made her delicate face look even more lively and lovely. Bai Han held onto the golden railing of the corridor with a cold expression. ¡°Please leave me alone.¡± Bai Han¡¯s attitude was too firm. Gu Shishi, who had been in the entertainment industry for a long time, understood the world¡¯s ways. Her brain told her it was best to accept his decision and leave now. However, the purple crystals had already been delivered, and the deal between the Gu clan and Bai Han had already been completed. If she were to leave now, she might be unable to contact Bai Han again. Gu Shishi bit her lip, her face blushing. She raised her head, revealing her fair and slender neck, which was attractive. ¡°Mr. Bai, I admire you. If you don¡¯t want to take me as your disciple, I wonder if I can have the honor of being your partner?¡± As a celebrity, Gu Shishi knew what expression could make people¡¯s hearts beat. Her almond-shaped eyes were covered with a thin layer of moisture, and her cheeks were slightly flushed. She lifted her chin, and her long, beautiful white neck and collarbones were visible. The black belt tightened around her waist, and the rose-red dress reached her knees, revealing her white, round knees and slender calves. Bai Han¡¯s hand that was holding onto the railing paused. He was so shocked by Gu Shishi¡¯s words that he almost lost his balance. Partner? Did she mean to wake up with him every day? Holy crap! Bai Han¡¯s adam¡¯s apple bobbed as he looked down at Gu Shishi, who was too beautiful to be true. ¡°Compared to a partner, I need purple crystals more,¡± Bai Han said slowly. As long as he was strong enough, with his strength and appearance, he could have any beauty he wanted. Bai Han disagreed with Shishi¡¯s request because he wanted to get more purple crystals. Moreover, he wants to set the bar for himself to take in a disciple. Otherwise, anyone could come to him and ask to be his disciple. He did not have this much time to deal with these people. ¡°You want to be my disciple? Sure. The tuition is thirty thousand purple crystals.¡± Gu Shishi¡¯s eyes widened. Thirty thousand purple crystals? Although the Gu family had a purple crystal mine, it belonged to the company and not to them. The Gu family could not take purple crystals directly from there. Moreover, the Gu family¡¯s purple crystal mine was insignificant, so losing thirty thousand purple crystals would be difficult! Gu Shishi¡¯s red lips trembled slightly, but she did not bargain with Bai Han. It was a rare opportunity to get in touch with Mr. Bai, and no anyone could have the chance to talk to him. ¡°Okay. Mr. Bai, please give me time to gather the purple crystals.¡± Bai Han nodded calmly. ¡°Sure. Once you¡¯ve collected enough money for the tuition, you can come over directly. ¡°Sorry for disturbing you, Mr. Bai.¡± Gu Shishi slightly and left the villa. When Gu Shishi walked out the door, Bai Han could not help but smile. ¡°I¡¯m rich; I¡¯m rich! I am seriously loaded now!¡± he thought. He had magic talismans, pills, scrolls, and books. Now, the most crucial magic crystal was not lacking. When Gu Shishi handed over the thirty thousand magic crystals as tuition, he would soon be a grand mage! Thinking of the fire dragon formed from the aftermath of the battle between the two great mages, which had destroyed the entire magic academy, Bai Han turned emotional. Once he became a grand mage, he would not have to be afraid of the fire dragon even if he returned to the magic land. Gu Shishi, on the other hand, called Gu Xingrong immediately after she returned to her place. ¡°Dad, I want to be Mr. Bai¡¯s disciple.¡± A low voice came from the phone. ¡°Don¡¯t make any impulsive move and make Mr. Bai upset. Our family can¡¯t afford that.¡± ¡°Dad, Mr. Bai has already agreed but has a condition.¡± The other end of the phone fell silent. Gu Shishi took a deep breath and said in one go,¡± Mr. Bai said that it would cost thirty thousand purple crystals as the tuition.¡± Before Gu Xingrong could say anything, Gu Shishi continued, ¡°dad, if I can cultivate, it will be a great help to our family to have a cultivator. Till then, who would dare to treat us like a doormat?¡± How could a mortal be compared to a deity who knew magic? ¡°Even the top families would respect us, and maybe we will have a chance to be part of them.¡± A deep sigh came from the phone. Gu Shishi knew that her dad was somewhat convinced. ¡°Do you know how much thirty thousand purple crystals is?¡± Three billion. Losing this money will be an excellent fit for our family,¡± Gu Xingrong asked sincerely. ¡°Dad, but it will be very beneficial as well. If we miss this opportunity, the Gu family may not have another chance to climb up to the highest social status.¡± Gu Shishi added, ¡°Besides, we can use Mr. Bai¡¯s reputation. Dad, once the news about Mr. Bai spreads, many families will want to rub his shoulders. Till then, there will be nothing we can¡¯t do.¡± After a while, Gu Xingrong¡¯s slightly hoarse voice was heard. ¡°Okay.¡± Gu Shishi smiled after she hung up the phone. Tu Shishi¡¯s phone suddenly rang the next second, and she looked down. It was Chuxi. Gu Shishi picked up the phone. ¡°Chuxi?¡± ¡°Shishi, I want to ask you for a favor.¡± Song Chuxi was Gu Shishi¡¯s best friend, and they had known each other for many years. ¡°Chuxi, is that even a question? Just tell me.¡± Gu Shishi smiled gently. ¡°I know the secret of your family.¡± The smile on Gu Shishi¡¯s face disappeared. ¡°Can you introduce me to Mr. Bai? I also want to be healed.¡± Chapter 8 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio It was only a matter of time before the news of Bai Han spread. Gu Shishi had already expected this, but she did not expect the Song family to know about him so quickly. However, it was difficult for Gu Shishi to refuse Song Chuxi. She knew that Song Chuxi had been troubled by her illness for a long time. ¡°Chuxi, let¡¯s meet at the White Gull Caf¨¦ on Xi Hua Street. ¡°Sure.¡± Song Chuxi¡¯s tone could not hide her excitement. Half an hour later,Gu Shishi arrived at the White Gull Caf¨¦. Song Chuxi was already there. This beautiful woman was sitting in the corner near the window. She had an elegant temperament and long hair that fell to her waist. Gu Shishi took the seat in front of her. ¡°Chuxi.¡± ¡°Shishi!¡± Song Chuxi, who was in a daze, raised her head when she heard Gu Shishi¡¯s voice. Her eyes were as dark as night, and there was no energy nor liveness inside. ¡°You went to do bodycheck the day before yesterday, right? What did the doctor say?¡± This pair of eyes always brought sorrow to Gu Shishi. How beautiful would they be if there had been a color in them? ¡°It¡¯s still the same.¡± Song Chuxi smiled wryly and frowned. ¡°Shishi, I¡¯ve heard about what happened to the Gu family. Mr. Bai is a deity who cured your grandpa in the blink of an eye.¡± Song Chuxi reached out and groped around on the table to hold Gu Shishi¡¯s hand. ¡°Shishi, my family will pay 500 million for my treatment. Can you help me contact Mr. Bai?¡± ¡°Chuxi, I need to think about this. I¡¯m unsure if Mr. Bai will agree, get upset, or think my family is too needy after knowing the request.¡± Gu Shishi pursed her lips and sighed. ¡°I¡¯ll talk to him when I find the right moment.¡± ¡°Sure!¡± Song Chuxi nodded. ¡°Shishi, thank you.¡± ¡°You still have to be prepared. Five hundred million might not be enough. My family spent a billion, and Mr. Bai wants purple crystals.¡± Gu Shishi hesitated for a while but still explained to Song Chuxi. ¡°Shishi, thank you.¡± Song Chuxi¡¯ was choking with sobs. ¡°After so many years, I finally can see the light at the end of the tunnel.¡± Gu Shishi tried to calm Song Chuxi down before they left the caf¨¦ and returned home. They needed to prepare a large number of purple crystals. When Gu Shishi entered the Gu family mansion, she saw that the living room was filled with people. The Gu family¡¯s core family members were all here. Gu Shishi knew why everyone was here today. This was also the reason why she returned to the mansion today. ¡°Dad,¡± she called Gu Xingrong and greeted her uncles. Not, as usual, they were indifferent to Gu Shishi this time and did not even respond to her. ¡°Shishi is here. We¡¯re all here. Let¡¯s talk about the thing then,¡± Gu Xingrong went straight to the point. ¡°I want to sacrifice part of the Gu family¡¯s business to train Shishi. Mr. Bai has agreed to take Shishi as his disciple, but he needs thirty thousand purple crystals.¡± ¡°No!¡± Gu Xinghuang was the first to stand up. He glared at Gu Xingrong and Gu Shishi with a red face and hatred. ¡°The Gu family doesn¡¯t belong to you and your daughter! What¡¯s the point of sacrificing the Gu family¡¯s business to train Gu Shishi? Who do you think we are? Are you two the only members of the Gu family?¡± Gu Xinghuang did not dare to say anything wrong about Bai Han, so he directed all his anger at Gu Xingrong and Gu Shishi. If Gu Shishi had not brought Bai Han over, and Gu Xingrong had not agreed to let him get Bai Han to the meeting room, he would not have lost so many assets! Worse, some of his assets were even put under Gu Shishi¡¯s name! ¡°He¡¯s right! I disagree with this!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t agree either. Who do you think you are?¡± ¡°If Shishi can cultivate, it will greatly help our family. Let¡¯s not talk about the title of being a deity¡¯s disciple. When Shishi starts cultivating, everyone will know the Gu family has a deity.¡± ¡°It makes sense.¡± The Gu family¡¯s core members and in-laws immediately started quarreling. Some disagreed and felt that it was unfair, while others felt that Gu Shishi could bring help to the Gu family and that they could also enjoy the benefits. The living room of the Gu family¡¯s mansion was noisy, like a weekend market. ¡°Enough! That¡¯s enough!¡± Gu Xingrong¡¯s face was livid as he roared, ¡°I am still the head of the Gu family!¡± ¡°I called you here today to discuss this matter! You are well-respected in society, but now you¡¯re yelling like drunk people in the pubs! Aren¡¯t you ashamed of yourselves?¡± Everyone immediately fell silent. However, the Gu family was now divided into two groups. One supported Gu Xingrong and sacrificed part of the family business to cultivate Gu Shishi. The other was firmly against this idea, and they would not agree to sacrifice the Gu family¡¯s business no matter what. They tidied up their clothes, which turned messy after the intense argument and glared at each other. ¡°What Xingrong said makes sense, and I think it will work.¡± ¡°Hmph!¡± An in-law with gray hair snorted coldly, ¡°I disagree! ¡°Uncle Yuan, my cultivation success will greatly help the Gu family. This is just an investment.¡± Gu Shishi¡¯s eyes swept across everyone¡¯s faces and landed on Gu Wenyuan. ¡°All of you have made investments before. You should be able to see how big the return will be this time.¡± A young man stood behind Gu Wenyuan, and his attitude was arrogant as he looked at Gu Shishi with narrowed eyes. ¡°Gu Shishi, there¡¯s a risk in an investment. You¡¯re using the Gu family¡¯s assets to invest at risk. Why can you do this? Just because you¡¯re the head of this family¡¯s daughter?¡± ¡°If you insist on investing in Gu Shishi, why don¡¯t we divide our family properties now? We won¡¯t have any problems if you guys use your money to train Gu Shishi.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not dead yet! Why are you in such a hurry to divide the family property?¡± Gu Guofu walked out energetically, and his sharp eyes shot straight at the young man who had just spoken. ¡°I, I didn¡¯t mean that.¡± How could the young man be compared to Gu Guofu, who had been in the business world for decades? His look was enough to make these kids cry for his mum. Gu Guofu¡¯s sharp gaze swept across everyone in the hall. ¡°I¡¯ve already heard about this matter. Xingrong is right.¡± Without anyone could say a word, Gu Guofu said sternly, ¡°As for why? Just because Shishi is my granddaughter!¡± When everyone saw Gu Guofu, they looked at him in shock and lowered their heads in fear. They knew that Bai Han had cured Gu Guofu, but it was more than a medical treatment! An eighty-year-old man was even younger than some people in their forties and fifties! These people couldn¡¯t help but feel shocked, and they instantly respected Bai Han even more. Some of the in-laws who were initially firmly against it felt tempted by the idea when they saw Gu Guofu¡¯s appearance. Chapter 9 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio I agree to use all of the Gu family¡¯s overseas assets to support Shishi¡¯s cultivation! Gu Guofu made the final decision! He looked at everyone in the room with a sharp gaze. ¡°Does anyone have a problem with this decision?¡± Sir. Gu was highly regarded and admired in the Gu family, and he had the final day on every issue. Without Gu Guofu, the Gu family would not be where they were now. Regardless of Gu Guofu¡¯s seniority and high status in the Gu family, Gu Guofu had never made a wrong decision over the years. After Sir. Gu said this, no one dared to raise any objections. They were all as quiet as lambs, not saying a word. ¡°Hmph! Nobody has a problem with it, so it¡¯s settled then. Leave my house now! Just looking at your faces makes me pissed!¡± Except for the core members and Gu Xingrong, the rest of the people left in a hurry, afraid that they would make Sir. Gu angry. ¡°Shishi.¡± Gu Guofu looked at Gu Shishi with a smile. ¡°I always knew you¡¯d go somewhere. Well done!¡± If Mr. Bai agreed to take her as a disciple, it would be a great thing for the Gu family! ¡°Xingrong, give Shishi all the money that can be moved overseas and do your best to collect all the purple crystals! If you don¡¯t have enough money, you can sell the assets overseas.¡± Gu Guofu made his decision without any hesitation. If Mr. Bai needed so many purple crystals, it meant that they were very important to his practice. They must be the resources he needed. No one had been able to contact Mr. Bai yet, and not many people had made a move. The more people knew about the news, the fewer purple crystals one could buy in the market and the higher the price. Gu Xingrong was well aware of the situation and immediately arranged for his men to collect purple crystals. ¡°Thank you, grandpa.¡± Gu Shishi¡¯s eyes were slightly red as she went forward to support Gu Guofu. Even though Gu Guofu did not need anyone¡¯s help now, he still didn¡¯t refuse his granddaughter¡¯s thoughtful move. ¡°I want you to remember one thing. You have to be respectful to Mr. Bai. Don¡¯t upset him, and¡­¡± Gu Guofu placed great importance on this matter and kept reminding Gu Shishi. After the Gu family rearranged four-fifths of their overseas assets, they spent three days collecting a total of sixty thousand purple crystals! That day, Gu Shishi eagerly brought the thirty thousand purple crystals to the villa where Bai Han was staying. When he saw Gu Shishi, Bai Han was a little surprised. He had thought that the Gu family would need about half a month to prepare the thirty thousand purple crystals. ¡°Come in,¡± Bai Han used Control Spell to store all thirty thousand purple crystals in the storage room. He turned around and looked at Gu Shishi. ¡°If you want to cultivate, you¡¯ll need purple crystals too. Have you prepared your purple crystals for yourself?¡± Bai Han had no intention of taking in Gu Shishi as his disciple and providing her with free purple crystals for cultivation. He didn¡¯t even know if these purple crystals would be enough to support his cultivation until he became a grand mage. Gu Shishi nodded and looked at Bai Han with an excited look. ¡°I¡¯m ready.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Bai Han said and took out a magic book. In Gu Shishi¡¯s eyes, it was as if a book had appeared out of thin air in Bai Han¡¯s hand. She was completely drawn by the book. The cover of the magic book was exquisite. Emerald green branches wrapped around the entire cover, and in the middle, the words were written in gold, Magic for Beginners. ¡°Are these really tree branches?¡± Gu Shishi carefully reached out her hand, wanting to touch the branches of the magic book. However, she put her hands away just as she was about to touch them. She carefully looked at Bai Han. ¡°They aren¡¯t real branches.¡± Bai Han was even gentler than before. Since Gu Shishi was his disciple, she was different from ordinary people. ¡°They are all condensed by magic to protect the magic book.¡± Bai Han pushed the magic book in front of Gu Shishi. ¡°This book is a must for all beginner mages. Read this book first, and I¡¯ll guide you through your cultivation.¡± Gu Shishi looked at the magic book in front of her as if it was a treasure. Her fingers touched the book gently and tenderly. ¡°So this is all about magic then.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Bai Han nodded. He noticed Gu Shishi was so careful and timid, not daring to open the magic book. He reached out and turned to the first page for her. ¡°Everything I¡¯ve done in front of you is magic. If you want to cast magic, you will need magic power. Those purple crystals are magic crystals that can be used for cultivation.¡± As he spoke, Bai Han pointed at the magic book. ¡°This is a magic book. It¡¯s protected by magic, so you don¡¯t have to worry about breaking it. Besides, since it¡¯s a book, it¡¯s meant to be read.¡± Bai Han¡¯s tone was a little helpless, and in this situation, the coldness he had deliberately shown in front of the Gu family in the past was reduced. Gu Shishi¡¯s face turned red with embarrassment. ¡°¡­ I understand, Mr. Bai.¡± ¡°Mr. Bai?¡± Bai Han raised his eyebrows. Gu Shishi immediately understood what Bai Han meant and corrected herself. ¡°Master.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Bai Han nodded with a pleasant face. She was his disciple, so why not have her call him master with that sweet voice? ¡°Just read it here. If there¡¯s anything you don¡¯t understand, write it down. When I¡¯m done with my cultivation later, I can help.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Gu Shishi nodded. Looking at his obedient disciple, Bai Han was extremely satisfied. She was beautiful, gentle, hard-working, and had thirty thousand magic crystals with her. Bai Han¡¯s villa was quiet and peaceful, which even made Gu Shishi feel calm. Bai Han was cultivating in the room upstairs, but Gu Shishi sensed that the entire villa was filled with his aura, which surrounded her whole body. Meanwhile, the Song family was in a mess. When Song Chuxi heard the news, she immediately told the head of the Song family, her father. Song Chuhe directly took out 500 million in cash from his account to buy her purple crystals. Much to their surprise, they couldn¡¯t find any! There was not a single purple crystal left on the market! Song Chuhe and Song Chuxi were dumbfounded. Although the production of purple crystals was low, due to their high price, there was no possibility of all the purple crystals being sold out. Although it was unbelievable, the truth was that there was not a single purple crystal left. Moreover, purple crystals were being purchased in large quantities, so the price was now skyrocketing! ¡°There must be something up! The news came from the Gu family, so this situation must be related to them!¡± Song Chuxi covered her mouth. She¡¯d just found hope, but it seemed that life didn¡¯t want to give her a chance. Was she destined to live in pain forever? ¡°Chuxi.¡± Song Chuhe couldn¡¯t even look at Song Chuxi, and his eyes were filled with sorrow. ¡°Although we have 500 million, we can¡¯t buy a single purple crystal. We can only¡­¡± There was nothing they could do, and Song Chuhe even couldn¡¯t finish his sentence. Accepting the illness taking away his daughter little by little every day was his only choice now. ¡°Dad, I can¡¯t accept this.¡± Song Chuxi¡¯s tears flowed out. Chapter 10 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio After Bai Han finished his morning cultivation, he walked down the stairs and saw Gu Shishi in the living room. Her eyes were lifeless, and she was in a daze. ¡°Shishi?¡± Gu Shishi snapped back to her senses and stood up. ¡°Master!¡± Her brows were knitted, and she seemed worried. Bai Han raised his brows but did not question her. Instead, he approached Gu Shishi and said gently, ¡°What are you thinking? Do you have any wishes? I make a wish come true for you.¡± The Gu family had almost bought all the purple crystals on the market. Gu Shishi was worried about Song Chuxi and did not expect to hear these words from Bai Han. ¡°I..¡± Gu Shishi pinched her fingers, her eyes filled with hesitation. It was excellent timing to bring up Song Chuxi¡¯s issue, but ¡­ He had just accepted her as his disciple, and now she was making a request. Would he think that she was greedy? Moreover, could it be that this question was a test? Gu Shishi was terrified and did not dare to make any requests. ¡°Thank you, master, but I don¡¯t have any wishes,¡± she stammered. Bai Han noticed the change in Gu Shishi¡¯s expression and smiled. He was an attractive man. When he smiled, the cold expression. At this moment, he was as charming as a movie star. Gu Shishi, who had been staring at Bai Han, was stunned. ¡°After successfully starting, you¡¯ll be an elementary mage apprentice. Above this level is a mage, grand mage, ultimate mage, and supreme mage god. When you can cultivate, you will have the ability to use magic, and you won¡¯t care about these mortal wishes. To mages, there¡¯s nothing we can¡¯t do. Don¡¯t worry about anything. Moreover, you¡¯re my disciple, so your problem is my problem now.¡± Gu Shishi was still lost in Bai Han¡¯s smile, and his words made her heart beat rapidly. He was right. She was no longer an ordinary person. Gu Shishi touched the magic book in her hand and saw something mysterious that she had never seen before. Not only had she seen it, but she would also cultivate it with her master. In the future, she would also have these abilities and no longer be ordinary. What was more¡­ Bai Han¡¯s last sentence meant his approval of her. ¡°Master, I understand.¡± Gu Shishi pursed her lips and smiled; her eyes brightened up. ¡°Good.¡± Bai Han casually leaned back on the sofa. ¡°Are you ready to tell me what you were worried about now? ¡± Gu Shishi was no longer as awkward as before. ¡°My best friend is a pianist, but she¡¯s been blind for many years. Master, would you heal her eyes? Please.¡± ¡°That¡¯s all?¡± Bai Han was surprised. Seeing that Gu Shishi was nodding, Bai Han waved his hand. ¡°You don¡¯t even have to ask me. Bring me to her later.¡± After lunch, they did not use any magic. Instead, Gu Shishi asked the driver to send them to the Song family¡¯s mansion. They soon arrive at the entrance of the song family¡¯s villa. ¡°Ms. Gu, are you here for Ms. Song?¡± The song family¡¯s butler opened the door and welcomed them with a smile. ¡°Mr. He,¡± Gu Shishi smiled politely and stepped back. ¡°This is Mr. Bai. He¡¯s here to treat Chuxi.¡± The screeching sound of a car braking suddenly rang out. The sound of a car door opening and closing followed it. Bai Han looked toward the voice and saw a man leaving the car. He growled, ¡°Mr. Bai? As I said, he is just another swindler! All those famous doctors from our country, even foreign ones, can¡¯t cure Chu Xi. What can a swindler do? He¡¯s here for money! Who knows what he wants to do with Chuxi!¡± ¡°Mr. Liu!¡± The butler looked frustrated and quickly went over to calm Liu De down. Sir. Song has also heard of Mr. Bai and hopes that Mr. Bai can heal Ms. Song.¡± ¡°Mr. Bai is not a swindler.¡± ¡°Fu*k off!¡± Liu De pushed the butler away impatiently. The butler was older, and after being pushed, he lost his balance and was about to fall to the ground. Bai Han used Speed Spell and quickly moved behind the butler, helping him up. ¡°Thank you, thank you, Mr. Bai. The butler repeatedly thanked him for saving himself from falling. At the same time, he was more convinced of Bai Han¡¯s reputation.¡± ¡°No worries,¡± Bai Han said calmly. Liu De stared at Bai Han. ¡°Bad Han, right? Get the f*ck out of here. The Song family does not welcome swindlers.¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Gu Shishi¡¯s face turned cold. She clutched her bag and walked to Liu De in her high heels. ¡°Liu De, this is the Song family, not the Liu family. Chu Xi asked me to contact Mr. Bai. Who told you that you could act like a pri*k here? The Gu family is well aware of Mr. Bai¡¯s capabilities. Furthermore, Mr. Bai is my master now. Liu De, mind your words!¡± Liu De laughed as if he had just heard the funniest joke in the world. ¡°The Gu family? The Gu family is just a piece of trash for me!¡± ¡°You don¡¯t even belong to the upper class. How dares a parvenu talk to me like this?¡± Even though the Liu family was at the bottom of the upper society, they were still much more distinguished than the Gu family. That was why Liu De did not care about the Gu family. Gu Shishi¡¯s face was cold as she pursed her red lips tightly, unable to say anything when her family was treated like a doormat. ¡°Who is he?¡± Bai Han pointed at Liu De and asked Gu Shishi, ¡°Is the Liu family a top-tier family? ¡± ¡°No, the Liu family belongs to the upper class but is at the bottom. Some don¡¯t see them in that circle, and Liu De is Chuxi¡¯s fianc¨¦.¡± ¡°Oh,¡± Bai Han drawled. ¡°Fianc¨¦? I thought the one inviting us here was Ms. Song. Does it mean her fianc¨¦ can make decisions for the Song family?¡± Bai Han asked the butler in confusion. The butler was displeased by Liu De¡¯s push. After seeing Bai Han¡¯s magic, he respectfully said, ¡°Mr. Bai, you are a humorous man.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Liu De was livid. ¡°He¡¯s just an ordinary person from a low-level family in the upper world. There¡¯s no need to take him seriously,¡± Han said to Gu Shishi. ¡°You¡¯re right, master.¡± Gu Shishi covered her mouth and giggled. ¡°Bai Han, Gu Shishi, you two are¡­ Ah!¡± Furious, Liu De rolled up his sleeves and even wanted to teach Bai Han a lesson. However, Bai Han did not even look at Liu De and directly sealed Liu De with magic. Liu De fell to the ground. His legs were folded from the knees, and his calves were tightly pressed against his thighs. His hands were pressed against his knees by an invisible force, and his head was pressed on his knees. His entire body was forced into a ball, and no matter how he struggled, he couldn¡¯t move. Bai Han pulled on the back of Liu De¡¯s collar and quickly lifted him, throwing him into the car and closing the door. Liu De, who could neither move nor speak, was locked in the car. The entire world fell silent. ¡°Let¡¯s go and see Ms. Song.¡± Bai Han dusted off his hands as if his actions were just a piece of cake. Mr. He didn¡¯t say a word and respectfully led Bai Han into the house. Chapter 11 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°Mr. Bai, please follow me.¡± The butler lowered his head and said carefully, ¡°Mr. Song and the others are not here today. Only Ms. Song and her brother are at home.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. I¡¯m here to treat Ms. Song. It¡¯s fine as long as she is at home.¡± Bai Han placed his hands behind his back, looking immortal. This made the butler even more cautious and terrified. He didn¡¯t even dare to raise his head to look Bai Han in the eye, afraid that he would offend the deity and end up like Liu De. ¡°Mr. Bai, please wait a moment,¡± the butler respectfully invited Bai Han to the hall to sit down. ¡°Let me go to inform Ms. Song that you are here.¡± ¡°Mr. He, there¡¯s no need.¡± Song Chuxi heard the commotion at the door and was about to see what was happening. The moment she went downstairs, she saw Bai Han and Gu Shishi. Her voice was gentle and pleasant, utterly different from Gu Shishi¡¯s. Bai Han raised his head and looked over. The woman walking down the stairs had an elegant temperament and graceful moves. However, her eyes were lifeless, which was a pity. ¡°Is Mr. Bai here?¡± Song Chuxi couldn¡¯t see, but she heard the butler mention his name. The butler went forward to support Song Chuxi. ¡°Yes, Mr. Bai is here to treat you.¡± His tone was excited. ¡°Chuxi.¡± Gu Shishi immediately held Song Chuxi¡¯s other arm. ¡°This is Mr. Bai, and he¡¯s my master now. He¡¯s here to heal your eyes.¡± Song Chuxi did not have time to process the information that Gu Shishi had become Mr. Bai¡¯s disciple. After Song Chuxi heard that Mr. Bai had agreed to treat her, tears flowed out of her eyes. ¡°Mr. Bai.¡± Thud! Song Chuxi immediately knelt and said as she cried, ¡°Mr. Bai, my eyes were damaged by the smoke from a fire when I was young. I¡¯ve gotten used to life in the darkness these years, but my brother is still young. His¡­¡± Song Chuxi choked on her sobs and almost couldn¡¯t continue, ¡°His arm¡­ He got into trouble with someone a while ago, and that man hired some thuds to cut off my brother¡¯s arm¡­.¡± ¡°Chuxi?¡± Gu Shishi turned pale with fright. ¡°Your brother was hospitalized because¡­ because of his arm?¡± Song Chuxi covered her eyes and nodded while sobbing. ¡°Mr. Bai.¡± Song Chuxi lowered her head and kowtowed. ¡°I don¡¯t care about my eyes. Please, Mr. Bai, please save my brother. He, he¡¯s only 16 years old. Please, Mr. Bai.¡± Having such a beautiful woman suddenly kneel and kowtow to him, Bai Han was shocked. He jumped up from the sofa. It was not a big deal, right? Why did she kneel? Bai Han held Song Chuxi¡¯s warm and skinny shoulders, making him even more heartbroken. ¡°It¡¯s just a small matter.¡± Bai Han helped Song Chuxi up. The necklace pendant hanging on her fair neck was revealed under her clothes as Song Chuxi moved. After the song, Chuxi stood straight, and the necklace instantly caught Bai Han¡¯s attention. ¡°F*ck!¡± he thought. Bai Han¡¯s pupils dilated as he stared at the pendant on Song Chuxi¡¯s chest. The pendant was inlaid with red gemstones, and the artistry was exquisite. It looked even more beautiful with her white dress. It was a midgrade magic crystal! Bai Han did not expect to find a midgrade magical crystal just by helping Gu Shishi fulfill her wish! With a midgrade magical crystal, the possibility of entering the grand mage realm had increased! Song Chuxi couldn¡¯t see Bai Han, but she could feel a burning gaze on her chest. Moreover, Bai Han¡¯s held her shoulder, his palm firmly gripping her shoulders. ¡°Mr. Bai, so my brother¡¯s broken arm¡­¡± Song Chuxi asked nervously. Bad Han cleared his throat. Bai Han came back to his senses and shifted his gaze away from the pendant on Song Chuxi. ¡°It¡¯s not a big deal. I can treat both you and your brother.¡± ¡°But¡­¡± Bai Han¡¯s breathing was a little rushed as he stared at the pendant again. ¡°I have an additional condition.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter!¡± Song Chuxi didn¡¯t hesitate at all. She didn¡¯t even ask about Bai Han¡¯s additional conditions and agreed immediately. As long as he could heal her eyes and her brother¡¯s broken arm, Song Chuxi would do anything. ¡°It¡¯s a deal then,¡± he said. Bai Han was very pleased with Song Chuxi¡¯s attitude. ¡°Is your brother home? Bring him here then.¡± ¡°Yes! Mr. He, please bring Chuyi here!¡± ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± she told herself. Song Chuxi¡¯s eyes were red, and there were tears of joy! Suppose Mr. Bai could cure Sir. Gu, who was in the final stage of cancer, then he must be able to fix Chuyi. Bad Han was Song Chuxi¡¯s only hope, and she could only believe he could cure them. ¡°Mr. He, don¡¯t tell me he¡¯s a swindler.¡± The thin, weak sixteen-year-old teenager reluctantly followed the butler to the living room. He looked at Bai Han suspiciously. How could this man treat someone missing arms and legs? He didn¡¯t believe it! ¡°Hey! Liar! What do you from my sister, huh? You are¡­¡± ¡°Chuyi!¡± Song Chuxi shouted angrily at Song Chuyi. Bai Han understood how this young man ended up having his arm chopped off, for he didn¡¯t know how to control his mouth. The young man¡¯s body turned stiff, and he said nothing. ¡°Mr. Bai! Chuyi is just a kid and doesn¡¯t mean to be rude. Please forgive him.¡± Song Chuxi panicked. What if Mr. Bai was angry and refused to treat Chuyi? Song Chuxi was so anxious that she bent her knees and wanted to kneel again. ¡°Chuxi!¡± Song Chuyi was scared out of his wits and tried to stop his sister. However, Song Chuyi was still a teenager, and because of his broken arm, he had been depressed, and his body was thin. How could he stop Song Chuxi, who was determined to kneel? ¡°He¡¯s just a kid. Don¡¯t worry. He¡¯s just a kid.¡± Bai Han firmly stopped Song Chuyi with one hand. No matter how hard Song Chuxi tried to kneel, she couldn¡¯t break Bai Han¡¯s grip. Bai Han cast an intermediate Growth Spell on Song Chuyi¡¯s broken arm. Intermediate Growth Spell was effective on wounds caused by ordinary weapons and could even regrow broken arms and legs. ¡°Ah! It¡¯s so itchy!¡± The wound on Song Chuyi¡¯s right arm, which had already healed, suddenly became highly itchy and unbearable. He held his broken arm and couldn¡¯t help but want to scratch the wound. ¡°Chuyi!¡± Song Chuxi couldn¡¯t see, so she fumbled with both hands, trying to find Song Chuyi. Upon seeing this, Bai Han cast an intermediate Healing Spell on Song Chuxi. Except for injuries like missing arms or legs, an intermediate Healing Spell could cure any other physical problems. A dazzling light suddenly shot into Song Chuxi¡¯s eyes from the outside world, and the long-lost light made Song Chuxi unable to return to her senses. It wasn¡¯t until Song Chuyi and the others appeared in her vision that Song Chuxi returned to her senses. She could see! After being blind for over ten years, she could finally see the world again! ¡°Chuxi! My arm is so itchy!¡± Song Chuyi¡¯s wailing drew Song Chuxi¡¯s attention to him. Looking at her brother in pain, Song Chuxi was a little helpless. ¡°Mr. Bai, what¡­ what is¡­¡± ¡°His broken arm is growing back. It will take about five minutes. It¡¯s normal to feel itchy.¡± Bai Han immediately used Binding Spell to trap Song Chuyi¡¯s uninjured arm. He looked straight at the pendant on Song Chuxi¡¯s chest. ¡°Now, we should talk about the additional conditions.¡± Chapter 12 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio With that, Bai Han reached out toward Song Chuxi¡¯s chest. Gu Shishi had been upset since Bai Han had stared at Song Chuxi¡¯s chest. Was Mr. Bai not interested in me? He rejected me without hesitation when I offered to be his cultivation partner. However, now¡­ Gu Shishi pursed her lips. She could not describe her feelings right now, so she could only try to calm herself down. Perhaps Mr. Bai would prefer someone like Chu Xi. Song Chuxi felt relieved for her brother, but she saw Bai Han¡¯s hand slowly reaching over. The joints of his slender and powerful hands were distinct and very good-looking. However, he was moving towards her chest! Song Chuxi turned pale with fright and stood frozen, not moving an inch. What was Mr. Bai doing? Could it be¡­ Could it be that the additional condition Mr. Bai mentioned was her? Mr. Bai was attracted to her and wanted her, so he agreed to treat Chuyi. Song Chuxi analyzed the situation and figured out Bai Han¡¯s intention. Biting her red lips, Song Chuxi had a dilemma in her heart. She had agreed to this additional condition. Although she didn¡¯t know Mr. Bai¡¯s situation, she still decided. Furthermore, Mr. Bai healed Chuyi¡¯s broken arm and her eyes. It wasn¡¯t too much to sacrifice herself for such a favor, and ¡­ Song Chuxi carefully looked at Bai Han¡¯s well-defined and delicate face, her long eyelashes fluttering. And Mr. Bai was indeed very charming. Song Chuxi took a light breath, lowered her long eyelashes, and decided to sacrifice herself. Bad Han didn¡¯t notice Song Chuxi¡¯s expression; all he could think about now was midgrade magic crystals. He grabbed the pendant on Song Chuxi¡¯s chest, his eyes shining. ¡°The additional condition is this pendant.¡± ¡°What?¡± Song Chuxi suddenly opened her eyes and realized that Bai Han¡¯s target was not her chest but the pendant! The heat slowly crept up her cheeks, and Song Chuxi¡¯s face turned red from embarrassment! She had thought that Mr. Bai wanted her! Song Chuxi was so embarrassed that she wished she could have wiped the imagination in her mind from her memory. Mr. Bai was a man of integrity and utterly different from those perverts. How could she have misunderstood him? The more she thought about it, the more ashamed Song Chuxi became. She quickly removed the pendant and placed it in Mr. Bai¡¯s hand. ¡°This is yours now, Mr. Bai.¡± When Bai Han got the midgrade magical crystal, he was more than happy. However, his face showed no emotion, and he calmly put away the pendant. In the eyes of Song Chuxi and the others, the pendant in Bai Han¡¯s hand had disappeared into thin air. ¡°Deity!¡± Song Chuxi thought. No one was paying attention to Song Chuyi just now, so they didn¡¯t realize that his arm had grown entirely back. The young man, who had been cursing Bai Han, suddenly knelt on the floor and hugged Bai Han. ¡°Mr. Bai, you must be a deity!¡± He looked at Bai Han in admiration. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect to see a deity in my lifetime!¡± The joy of his broken arm growing back and the excitement of seeing a living deity. Song Chuyi¡¯s tears and snot ran out as he was overwhelmed with intense emotions. He grabbed Bai Han¡¯s leg tightly and began to sob. The veins on Bai Han¡¯s forehead throbbed. Seeing that Song Chuyi¡¯s tears and snot were about to stain his white robe; Bai Han quickly pulled his leg out. I¡¯m here because Shishi requested to treat Ms. Song. As for you, it¡¯s all about your sister asking me to treat you, and she agreed to my conditions. Calm down.¡± ¡°Chuyi, get up.¡± Song Chuxi bent over to support Song Chuyi. While carefully glancing at Bai Han, she quickly helped Song Chuyi up. ¡°Chuxi! He¡¯s a deity! A living deity!¡± As a sixteen-year-old, Song Chuyi was still somewhat childish like others. He was so excited to see a living deity that he couldn¡¯t calm down. Song Chuxi covered her face. Her brother was too embarrassed. For some reason, Gu Shishi heaved a sigh of relief when she was sure that Bai Han had no interest in Song Chuxi. Bai Han stood further away from Song Chuyi without a word. ¡°What¡¯s the market price of that pendant?¡± Bai Han turned his attention back to what he was most concerned about. Gu Shishi felt that this scene was a little familiar. ¡°That pendant isn¡¯t worth much. It¡¯s just an ordinary ruby, and you can buy it for tens of thousands of dollars.¡± Song Chuxi also understood that Bai Han was interested in the pendant on her chest. ¡°Chu Xi,¡± Gu Shishi furrowed her brows. ¡°I remember that you don¡¯t like rubies. Why are you wearing a ruby pendant?¡± It was a ruby pendant that cost tens of thousands of dollars. Gemstones were different from other jewelry. Gemstones and jewelry that cost tens of thousands of Yuan could only be considered low-tier. The Song family and the Gu family were both second-rate families and were even more loaded than the Gu family. As the only daughter of the Song family, Song Chuxi was also a well-known worldwide pianist. Why would she wear a gemstone pendant that cost tens of thousands? ¡°It¡¯s from Liu De. He wants me to wear it every day.¡± Song Chuxi pursed her lips, lowered her head, and said softly. For some reason, she did not want to mention Liu De in front of Bai Han. ¡°It¡¯s him again!¡± Gu Shishi was so angry that her face was flushed. The Liu family was first-class, but Liu De had only given his fianc¨¦e an everyday gemstone pendant worth tens of thousands of dollars. Furthermore, he had chosen a ruby that Chu Xi did not like! ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Song Chuxi sharply noticed that Bai Han, Gu Shishi, and Mr. He¡¯s expressions were not quite right. ¡°Ms. Song, we met Mr. Liu when we came in.¡± Song Chuxi frowned. ¡°What was he doing here?¡± ¡°Well¡­¡± The butler looked at Bai Han, not knowing what to say. The butler knew he wasn¡¯t in the position to make any comments, but Gu Shishi did not care. With a cold face, she snorted. ¡°The moment Liu De saw us, he scolded Bai Han and called him a swindler.¡± Song Chuxi¡¯s face turned pale. ¡°Mr. Bai.¡± She looked up at Bai Han in a panic. ¡°It¡¯s not a big deal.¡± Bai Han did not take what had happened seriously. ¡°It has nothing to do with you. Besides, I¡¯ve already taught him a lesson.¡± Song Chuyi heaved a sigh of relief. She didn¡¯t care about what had happened to Liu De and only said, ¡°Mr. Bai, you don¡¯t have to be nice to Liu De.¡± This kind of person needed someone to teach him a lesson. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that the Liu family were more potent than the Song family, Song Chuxi wouldn¡¯t have even cared about Liu De, let alone wear the pendant from him every day. Bai Han didn¡¯t care about Liu De but the midgrade magic crystal. ¡°Ms. Song, where can I buy this pendant?¡± Gu Shishi suddenly realized why the scene earlier was so familiar. Wasn¡¯t this the scene of Bai Han demanding purple crystals from the Gu family as the medical bill? Song Chuxi also understood what he wanted and said, ¡°These pendants are from a company that has a partnership with the Song family. If you are interested, you can leave your address. I will have someone send one hundred pendants to you.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Bai Han didn¡¯t beat around the bush, for he saw the pendants as the cost of the treatment. Bai Han and Gu Shishi did not stay for long and left the Song family¡¯s villa right away. Chapter 13 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio After the two of them left, Song Chuxi called her father. ¡°Dad, I want to buy some ruby pendants that Liu De gave me. It¡¯ll cost five million.¡± Song Zhao was taken aback. ¡°Ruby pendants?¡± The two department heads and the president¡¯s assistant in the president¡¯s office looked over quietly. ¡°Yes.¡± Song Chuxi couldn¡¯t hide the happiness in her tone. ¡°Dad, Mr. Bai came to the villa today and cured my eyes and Chuyi¡¯s broken arm. ¡°What?¡± Overjoyed, Song Zhao immediately stood up, his eyes wide open. ¡°Your eyes and Chuyi¡¯s broken arm have been healed? Really?¡± His words made freaked everyone out! People in the office were staring at Song Zhao. What had they just heard? Song Chuyi¡¯s broken arm healed? Miss Song¡¯s blindness had been healed? Everyone knew that the Song family¡¯s brother and sister were both disabled. They had looked for doctors everywhere, but no one could have done anything. It was possible to have blind eyes healed. However, Song Chuyi¡¯s arm had been chopped off! How could it be cured? Song Zhao couldn¡¯t believe it, but he also thought that Mr. Bai could cure Gu Guofu¡¯s late-stage cancer. It wouldn¡¯t be surprising if he could fix his children¡¯s blindness and broken arms. Besides, Chuxi had no reason to lie to him. ¡°Mr. Bai likes this kind of pendant, so I offered him a hundred.¡± ¡°Of course! That¡¯s not a problem! I¡¯ll visit Mr. Bai to thank him!¡± Song Zhao was overjoyed. Everyone said that his children were all disabled. His son and daughter were both disabled. How could they take over the company? He didn¡¯t expect to have such a plot twist one day! Song Zhao was more than thrilled. After hanging up the phone, he immediately transferred the money to Song Chuxi. It was rare that Song Zhao didn¡¯t rage and scold the people in the two department proposals that bothered him. Instead, he gently asked the employees to make amendments. The next day, Bai Han received a hundred pendants from the Song family in his villa. Moreover, these Song Zhao delivered these hundred pendants by himself. ¡°Mr. Bai, thank you for helping my daughter and son. The Song family will never forget your kindness!¡± Song Zhao bowed to Bai Han. ¡°These hundred pendants are a small gift from the Song family. I hope you will like them.¡± ¡°Mr. Song, you¡¯re too kind,¡± Bai Han kept a straight face and replied calmly and politely. ¡°That¡¯s what I should do. Mr. Bai, if you need anything from the Song family in the future, just let me know.¡± Song Zhao could tell Bai Han didn¡¯t want to be bothered. ¡°It was nice talking to you, Mr. Bai.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Bai Han coldly nodded. After Song Zhao left, Bai Han¡¯s face instantly revealed a happy smile. Gu Shishi was not around, so Bai Han did not have to act calm. He quickly moved the midgrade magical crystals to his room with the spell. With this batch of midgrade magical crystals, his cultivation speed could be even faster! It was worth it to visit the Song family! Bai Han still had a smile on his face, and the villa¡¯s doorbell rang again. He opened the door. Gu Guofu was standing outside. ¡°Mr. Bai, long time no see.¡± ¡°Sir. Gu, what brings you¡­.¡± Bai Han asked and looked at Gu Guofu. Gu Guofu turned to the side and revealed the big box behind him. ¡°These are all ruby pendants, as the Song family gave you. There are five thousand of them in total. They are all yours now, Mr. Bai.¡± Five thousand ruby pendants? Bai Han did not accept them immediately. Instead, he asked, ¡°Sir. Gu, what can I help you with?¡± ¡°Mr. Bai, I am not here to ask anything from you.¡± Gu Guofu quickly explained, ¡°The Gu family has been watching Shishi recently, and she told us that you are interested in this kind of ruby pendant. We collected these five thousand pendants to express our gratitude for helping us and caring for Shishi. I hope they can be useful for you.¡± Gu Guofu bowed. ¡°Mr. Bai, please accept these gifts, for I will feel rejected.¡± ¡°Please come in, Sir. Gu.¡± Five thousand midgrade magic crystals¡­ Bai Han would be an idiot to refuse them. With these five thousand midgrade magic crystals, Bai Han was almost sure he could be a grand mage! A midgrade magic crystal was as powerful as a hundred low-grade ones! Meanwhile, a single purple crystal costs ten thousand. On the other hand, a single pendant was equivalent to ten purple crystals, but it cost less than a hundred thousand. Bai Han used Control Spell to put all the pendants into his cultivation room. Then, he used Fire Spell and Control Spell to heat some cold water, make tea, and send it to Gu Guofu. Even though Gu Guofu had seen Bai Han¡¯s magic before, he was still very excited to see the scene. His previous decision was indeed correct! With Bai Han¡¯s magic, even if he sacrificed part of the Gu family¡¯s business, it would be beneficial for Shishi to cultivate! ¡°Thank you, Mr. Bai.¡± Gu Guofu took the teacup in fear. The side of the cup was warm, and the smoke was rising from the tea inside. It was hard to believe it had been cold water a few seconds ago. ¡°Thank you for the pendants, Sir. Gu.¡± Bai Han pointed at the table, and ten exquisite bottles appeared. There were not many decorations on the clear bottle; only the cap looked more gorgeous, and inside it was a variety of colored potions. ¡°These three bottles are healing potions. If one is still breathing, they can save a life.¡± Bai Han pointed at the three golden magic potions, then the other three green Magic potions. ¡°These three bottles are Magical Life Potions to extend one¡¯s life. Each of them can extend one¡¯s life by five years. As for the remaining three bottles, they are Enhancement Potions. They can increase a person¡¯s strength and speed for a short period, which is 48 hours. The other bottle is a Youth Magic Potion, and the effect is just like its name.¡± The ten bottles of magic potions Bai Han took out were all low-grade. To ordinary people, their effects were already shocking enough. Although Gu Guofu didn¡¯t make any requests, he knew how much five thousand magic crystals meant to him. The Gu family didn¡¯t know, but he did. Bai Han had received this favor, so he naturally couldn¡¯t accept it without returning anything. These ten bottles of magic potions were my gifts in return for the five thousand magic crystals. ¡°They, they¡­¡± Gu Guofu¡¯s eyes widened, and he was at a loss. ¡°They are yours now.¡± Bai Han calmly took a sip of tea. ¡°Sir. Gu, why don¡¯t you try this magic tea again? ¡± Gu Guofu followed Bai Han¡¯s every word, lowered his head, and took a sip of tea in a daze. After drinking a mouthful of tea, he instantly felt the difference! Gu Guofu¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Your magic tea is extraordinary.¡± ¡°I have many things like this; I just want to express my gratitude.¡± Bai Han said calmly, his eyes sweeping over the ten bottles of magic potions on the table. Gu Guofu understood and did not refuse. He laughed and said, ¡°Hahaha, thank you so much, Mr. Bai!¡± Chapter 14 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Gu Shishi had specially set aside a free period for cultivation. ¡°The ruby on the pendant is a midgrade magic crystal, but you¡¯ve just started. The magic power of a midgrade magic crystal is too much for you.¡± Bai Han asked Gu Shishi to sit cross-legged. He placed the purple crystals around Gu Shishi, surrounding her. ¡°Before you reach the intermediate apprentice level, use low-grade magic crystals first.¡± There was a massive difference in the magic power contained in magical crystals of different grades. If a low-level mage used a high-grade magical crystal to train, it was easy for them not to control the input of magic power well. They would explode and die if they used too much magic power.¡± Gu Shishi nodded, her almond-shaped eyes shining brightly. ¡°Close your eyes and focus all your attention on the purple crystal in your hand.¡± Bai Han stuffed two purple crystals into Gu Shishi¡¯s hands. After Gu Shishi closed her eyes, Bai Han took a few steps back. When a mage entered the beginner level, the magic around them would tremble. This kind of tremor would affect the mages nearby. If Bai Han hadn¡¯t stayed far away, his body¡¯s magic power would have been affected. If the tremor were big enough, it would cause the magical ability in his body to absorb the beginner magicians. This situation might lead to the beginner mage¡¯s failure; another attempt would be needed. ¡°Do you feel or see the magic power?¡± Bai Han stood in the corner and asked Gu Shishi. Gu Shishi shook her head blankly and tightened her grip on the two purple crystals. ¡°Do you notice something in the purple crystal in your hand?¡± ¡°No.¡± Bai Han frowned. ¡°No way,¡± he thought. He looked at the time, and almost half an hour had passed. After half an hour, she did not come into contact with any magic power or sense the magic energy within the purple crystal. It was already a privilege for a mage to have magical crystals for their beginner¡¯s training. Only those with a wealthy family background would use a magical crystal for beginner¡¯s training on the magic land. Most people would directly sense the magic power in the air. Even some prominent families and academies wouldn¡¯t allow magical crystals for beginner cultivation. If one couldn¡¯t even feel the magic power in the air during the beginning of the cultivation and couldn¡¯t succeed, it would be difficult for this person to even break through the barrier of a magic apprentice and enter the realm of a mage even if with the help of magic crystals in the first step! Unfortunately, Gu Shishi did not even feel the magic in the purple crystals after half an hour. Bai Han scratched his face, suddenly feeling a little troubled. Gu Shishi, on the other hand, was anxious. Her breathing became uneven, and her cross-legged sitting posture began to sway. ¡°Calm down. You haven¡¯t started your cultivation. Normally, you can¡¯t feel the magic power.¡± Bai Han closed his eyes and tried to calm her down. Gu Shishi was more relieved after she heard Bai Han¡¯s affirmation. She thought it was because her talent was too poor so she couldn¡¯t get started. If that were the case, the Gu family¡¯s investment would have failed. Tens of billions of dollars would be in vain if she failed to cultivate. Gu Shishi had not been worried about this matter. However, it was only now that she realized that not everyone could cultivate. Bai Han waited for another half an hour. In Gu Shishi¡¯s surroundings, she could not even feel the magic power within the purple crystal, much less its vibration. ¡°Let¡¯s wait for a moment.¡± Gu Shishi¡¯s talent was too poor, so she could not get started with magic crystals alone. After opening her eyes, Gu Shishi looked at Bai Han helplessly. She wasn¡¯t stupid. She probably guessed her talent was too poor, so she had never felt magic power. Gu Shishi looked down and pursed her lips tightly, feeling the tears in her eyes. What to do? How would she explain to her father if she couldn¡¯t cultivate? The Gu family had spent a considerable sum of money on her. She would make her father and grandfather doubt her if this investment failed. The Gu family might even fail to be in the lower class. Moreover¡­ Gu Shishi did not dare to look at Bai Han. She was afraid to see disgust and disappointment in Bai Han¡¯s eyes. Bai Han did not notice Gu Shishi¡¯s emotions, for he was thinking about what he could use to help Gu Shishi get started. He¡¯d received thirty thousand purple crystals and five thousand midgrade magic crystals from the Gu family; he¡¯d better find a way to help Gu Shishi start cultivating. Furthermore, Gu Shishi was his disciple now. ¡°Get up first,¡± Bai Han said after some thought. Gu Shishi stood in a daze, thinking Bai Han had given up on her. ¡°Can¡­ Can I try again?¡± ¡°What?¡± Bai Han took out ten Magic-gathering Seals and placed all of them into Gu Shishi¡¯s cultivation room, not paying attention to her words. As the magic power in the room suddenly surged, Bai Han suppressed the one in his body. After setting up the ten Magic-gathering Seals, Bai Han looked at Gu Shishi. ¡°Okay¡­ what did you say?¡± Gu Shishi¡¯s eyes were red, and tears were welling up. She looked like she was about to cry. ¡°I¡¯ll try again. I can do it. Master, please¡­ don¡¯t¡­¡± Gu Shishi could not finish her sentence. Bai Han finally understood what Gu Shishi was thinking and did not know whether to laugh or cry. ¡°What are you talking about?¡± Seeing that Gu Shishi was on the verge of tears, Bai Han softened his voice. ¡°I was just thinking about what I could use to help you start cultivating.¡± ¡°Try again now.¡± Gu Shishi¡¯s face turned red immediately. Bai Han¡¯s voice and expression became extremely gentle after he spoke. For a moment, she didn¡¯t know whether the burning sensation on her face was because Bai Han was being gentle or her being ashamed of her thoughts. ¡°Oh, okay,¡± Gu Shishi replied in a flustered manner. She sat down cross-legged again with the two magic crystals in her hands. However, unlike before, Gu Shishi could feel the magical power in the purple crystals very quickly this time. She was so happy that the corners of her lips curled up. Bai Han had suppressed his absorption of magical power to avoid interfering with Gu Shishi¡¯s beginner cultivation, so all the magical power surged toward her instantly. ¡°Oh!¡± As the magic power surged into her body, Gu Shishi started to lose consciousness. Not only that, but her entire body became hot and dry, and hot air kept gushing out of her body. It was so hot! Gu Shishi let go of the purple crystal in her hand and started to tear her clothes. It was so hot! It was too hot! Gu Shishi couldn¡¯t bear the heat and tore off all her clothes. She was wearing a one-piece dress today and took it off in one go. Bai Han was just about to help when he saw this alluring scene. ¡°Shishi!¡± The body before him was fair and beautiful, with an exquisite figure. It was slightly red because of the heat, making it extremely attractive. Bai Han almost had a nosebleed. ¡°Fuck!¡± His Adam¡¯s apple moved, and he released the suppression of his body¡¯s magic power. The magical power gathered in the room immediately found a better outlet and rushed into Bai Han¡¯s body! Gu Shishi¡¯s mind gradually cleared up as the new magic power no longer entered her body. Chapter 15 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio However, Gu Shishi wished she could have passed out again after she regained consciousness! She¡­ She had taken off her clothes in front of Bai Han! Gu Shishi¡¯s face turned red in embarrassment. She wanted to wear her clothes, but her body had too much magic power. It was surging in her meridians, making her hands and feet weak. Gu Shishi could not even stand properly, let alone put on her clothes. Bai Han quickly caught Gu Shishi and held her arm like a gentleman. He placed his other hand on Gu Shishi¡¯s back, slowly helping her draw out the magic in her body. Gu Shishi¡¯s body was filled with too much magic power. She had just started cultivating, and her body¡¯s meridians could not withstand it. If the magic power had stayed in Gu Shishi¡¯s body for a little longer, it would have burst her meridians and caused her to explode. ¡°Stop overthinking.¡± Bai Han could feel Gu Shishi¡¯s entire body trembling. ¡°There¡¯s a lot of magic power in your body now. Feel it with your heart.¡± As Bai Han guided Gu Shishi to feel the magic power in her body, he also helped her channel it. He tried to control himself and only touched Gu Shishi¡¯s arm and back. Gu Shishi seemed to have noticed Bai Han¡¯s gentlemanly behavior, heaved a sigh of relief, and relaxed a little. About half an hour later, Bai Han finally finished clearing the magic power in Gu Shishi¡¯s body. ¡°Can you feel the magic power?¡± Gu Shishi, who had worn her clothes again, had forgotten the awkwardness earlier. She felt the magic power in her abdomen with joy. ¡°Yes, I can sense the magic power in my body.¡± Bai Han also heaved a sigh of relief. Finally, Gu Shishi started her journey of cultivation. ¡­. After Gu Guofu recovered, besides following up on Gu Shishi¡¯s cultivation, he spent most of his energy on the Gu family¡¯s business. To support Gu Shishi, the Gu family suffered a significant loss. Gu Guofu had an appointment with his old friend, who owned a jewelry shop, early this morning for business. They were partners working together for a long time and knew each other¡¯s rules, so they soon reached an agreement. Chen Fan could not help but stare at Gu Guofu¡¯s face and ask, ¡°Why do you look so much younger? ¡± Chen Fan was already eighty-five years old. His hair was white, and his face was full of wrinkles and age spots. He exercised every day, which was why he was pretty energetic. However, it didn¡¯t change the fact that he was an elder. Everyone could tell at a glance that he was already an older man in his eighties. Gu Guofu, who was about the same age as him, had just pulled through. How come instead of becoming weaker, he looked younger than before? Anyone in the streets would think Gu Guofu was only in his forties. Who would have thought that he was an older man in his eighties? After Gu Guofu handed over the Gu family¡¯s business to Gu Xingrong, Chen Fan and Gu Xingrong made many business deals. He thought it might sound ridiculous, but Gu Guofu looked younger than Gu Xingrong! ¡°Alas!¡± Gu Guofu shook his head. ¡°Only god knows how that illness almost took my life. I thought I would be dead soon!¡± The Gu family kept Gu Guofu¡¯s condition a secret, and very few people knew why he was hospitalized. ¡°What was the situation?¡± Chen Fan asked curiously. Why was it that after he recovered, he seemed more energetic and younger than before? ¡°Late-stage cancer!¡± Chen Fan¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°Late, late-stage cancer? Are you kidding me?¡± ¡°Hmph, of course, I¡¯m not joking. They even chose my coffin! I didn¡¯t expect to be healed.¡± ¡°Gu, it¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t want to tell me the truth, but don¡¯t try to fool me around.¡± When Chen Fan heard this, he did not believe it at all. There wasn¡¯t even a cure for cancer in the world. It was just suppression to prevent cancer recurrence. How could Gu Guofu be cured of late-stage cancer? ¡°He is full of sh*t,¡± Chen Fan thought. Gu Guofu snorted and glanced at him. ¡°Why Would I lie to you about this?¡± ¡°You¡¯ve heard about the Song family¡¯s son and daughter, Song Chuxi¡¯s eyes, and Song Chuyi¡¯s broken arm. ¡± ¡°I¡¯ve heard about that.¡± Chen Fan nodded. The song was thrilled now and would not stop talking about the news. Chen Fan was a little emotional. ¡°I wonder which hospital it is. Ms. Song can see again, and even Mr. Song¡¯s prosthetic arm is real.¡± ¡°Wait! You still think that it¡¯s a prosthetic arm?¡± ¡°Could it be that it grew out?¡± Chen Fan replied and took a sip of the tea. ¡°Then it grew out!¡± ¡°Pfft!¡± Chen Fan spurted out a mouthful of tea. ¡°Gu, stop the crap! How is that possible?¡± Chen Fan had a doubtful expression. It had to be a joke. How could someone regrow an arm? Humans weren¡¯t like lizards. ¡°I¡¯m not joking. The same person treated my illness as those two kids of the Song family,¡± Gu Guofu said calmly. Chen Fan still didn¡¯t believe it. ¡°That doctor can make someone regrow an arm and cure patients with late-stage cancer. Is he a deity? ¡± ¡°He is.¡± Gu Guofu shook his head. ¡°I can understand if you don¡¯t believe what you heard, but think about it. Can a human change my life like this? ¡± Chen Fan had been sure that Gu Guofu was lying, but now he was unsure. It was a fact that an eighty-year-old man had become a forty-year-old middle-aged man. Could that doctor be a deity? ¡°Who is the doctor?¡± Chen Fan leaned over and asked in a low voice. Gu Guofu squinted. ¡°The one who cured me was Mr. Bai. Oh, Mr. Bai also gave me some Youth Magic Potion. Thanks to this potion, I look so young now.¡± Gu Guofu touched his face. ¡°Youth Magic?¡± Chen Fan was speechless. It was easy to understand the effects by name, but did it work so well? Gu Guofu knew what Chen Fan was thinking right away. He snorted and said, ¡°If you don¡¯t believe me, why don¡¯t you try it? I have an extra bottle of Youth Magic Potion. I¡¯ll sell it to you for a billion if you want it.¡± Being prepared, Gu Guofu took out a bottle of Youth Magic Potion. ¡°A billion? Are you trying to rip me off?¡± ¡°A billion is not a small amount, ¡°Chen Fan said suspiciously. ¡°Haha!¡± Gu Guofu was somewhat helpless. ¡°Let me tell you, I won¡¯t give it to anyone who wants it. If you don¡¯t want it, then forget it.¡± As he spoke, he was about to put away the potion. Chen Fan quickly took the bottle and laughed awkwardly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry! A billion is not a small amount after all.¡± ¡°Hmph!¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t you try it?¡± Gu Guofu said with an upset tone, ¡°If it doesn¡¯t work, I will give you a billion!¡± Gu Guofu sounded determined, so Chen Fan was tempted as he held the bottle. ¡°Alright!¡± Chen Fan gritted his teeth and agreed. The next second, he opened the bottle and drank the Youth Magic Potion in one gulp! Chapter 16 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Chen Fan took the Youth Magic Potion and immediately felt freshened. Gu Guofu, sitting next to Chen Fan, could clearly see his face getting younger. The wrinkles on his face were slowly smoothed out. His face became smooth again, and his age spots disappeared. Chen Fan seemed to have noticed something, raised his hand to touch his face, and felt that the sensation was completely different from before! His breathing quickened. ¡°Give me a mirror! Give me a mirror now!¡± Chen Fan shouted. His secretary at the door quickly came in. ¡°Mr. Chen¡­¡± His voice stopped abruptly as he looked at Chen Fan in shock. He was so shocked that he could not speak. ¡°Find me a mirror!¡± The secretary returned to his senses and immediately went to the hotel front desk to get a mirror for Chen Fan. Chen Fan held the mirror in one hand and touched his face with the other. Meanwhile, there was a shock in his eyes. He had seriously become younger. ¡°This, this, this¡­¡± Chen Fan touched and pinched his face as if he couldn¡¯t believe it was real. He now looked like he was only in his forties or fifties, and his body shape was also different. As he grew older, he felt his health condition was going downhill. Aging, weakness, and all kinds of problems had come to him. Chen Fan stayed positive, but what else could he do regarding the aging process? He never thought that one day, he would be able to solve aging problems! ¡°Bang!¡± Chen Fan excitedly placed the mirror on the table. ¡°Gu! Who is Mr. Bai? How come he has such magical potions? Youth Magical! Youth Magical! What a great name!¡± Gu Guofu sipped his tea as if what had happened was normal. ¡°Mr. Bai has many things like this.¡± Chen Fan took a deep breath and couldn¡¯t be more thrilled. ¡°Gu, can you introduce me to Mr. Bai? ¡°Chen Fan stared at Gu Guofu and said with a flattering voice. Mr. Bai had such magic even if he wasn¡¯t deities, Chen Fan knew he had to seize the opportunity to make friends with him. Chen Fan wouldn¡¯t allow this chance to slip through his fingers no matter what. ¡°If you are willing to introduce me to Mr. Bai, the Chen family will give you another 5% of this business deal. No!¡± Chen Fan seemed determined. ¡°10%! If you¡¯re willing, we can give you 10%!¡± His secretary was shocked. Had his boss just proposed to give up 10% of the interest? Chen Fan and Gu Guofu had signed a significant cooperative contract between the two families, involving assets worth more than one billion dollars. The Chen family had given up ten percent, which meant that the Chen family would not make much profit from this cooperation. ¡°There¡¯s no need for the 10%.¡± Gu Guofu put down his teacup and finally answered. ¡°Two billion. I¡¯ll introduce you to Mr. Bai.¡± Chen Fan immediately fell silent. His secretary beside didn¡¯t dare to say a word and quietly left the room. He knew he shouldn¡¯t listen to the conversation. ¡°Gu, this price is a little too high.¡± Although two billion might not be more than 10% of the profit, it would take time to make the profit. Moreover, he had to pay two billion all at once. ¡°Take it or leave it.¡± Gu Guofu did not hesitate and immediately let Chen Fan know there was no room for negotiation. He wasn¡¯t worried, for no one could resist Youth Magic Potion. Besides, he had just said Mr. Bai had more potions like this. Chen Fan didn¡¯t need anything from Mr. Bai now, but it would be of great benefit to be able to make friends with such a figure. Who knew if he would need a hand from Mr. Bai? Chen Fan didn¡¯t expect Gu Guofu to be so determined and hesitated for a long while. ¡°Gu, we have known each other for so long. For the sake of our friendship, is it possible to give me a discount? I am sure you know getting two billion in cash is not easy. Not to mention, that bottle of Youth Magic Potion just now cost a billion. ¡°Chen.¡± Gu Guofu didn¡¯t plan to change his mind. ¡°Do you know who Mr. Bai is? He¡¯s a figure that ordinary people like us can¡¯t reach! If you want to meet Mr. Bai, show your sincerity.¡± Gu Guofu patted his chest. ¡°Do you know how much money the Gu family has spent to be Mr. Bai¡¯s friend? A few billion! Two billion is nothing, alright?¡± Chen Fan was stunned. A few billion? The Gu family had put in a lot of money! However, after hearing this, Chen Fan was even more determined to make friends with Mr. Bai. Gu Guofu was a business. If someone could make him invest this much money, the return must be way more than a few billion. ¡°Okay! Two billion it is!¡± Chen Fan gritted his teeth and agreed. ¡°When can I meet Mr. Bai?¡± Gu Guofu finally smiled. ¡°I will let you know in two days.¡± ¡°Oh, by the way,¡± Gu Guofu lowered his voice and said in a mysterious tone, ¡°for the sake of our friendship, let me give you a tip. When you go to see Mr. Bai, bring all the jewelry you have!¡± ¡°What? Why is that?¡± Chen Fan was puzzled. ¡°Mr. Bai loves jewelry.¡± Gu Guofu explained. Chen Fan nodded. Although he didn¡¯t understand, knowing what Mr. Bai liked was good. He was a jeweler, so it was easy for him to get some. ¡­. After leaving, Gu Guofu went straight to the villa. ¡°Ding dong!¡± Gu Shishi opened the door for Gu Guofu. ¡°Grandpa?¡± Bai Han, who was eating fruit and playing with his phone on the sofa, suddenly stopped. He quickly threw the fruit in his hand into the trash can and then put his phone down on the table. He cleared his throat and sat up straight. Gu Guofu came to Bai Han. ¡°Mr. Bai.¡± ¡°Sir. Gu, please have a seat.¡± Gu Guofu and Gu Shishi sat down in front of Bai Han. ¡°Grandpa, I¡¯ve started my cultivation!¡± Gu Shishi¡¯s tone was full of excitement and joy. ¡°Exactly.¡± Bai Han nodded with a smile. ¡°Sir. Gu, you are here at the right time. Shishi has officially started her cultivation today.¡± ¡°That¡¯s awesome!¡± Gu Guofu was overjoyed. If his granddaughter could cultivate, she was no longer a mortal. At the same time, it also meant that it was a successful investment for the Gu family! ¡°Thank you, Mr. Bai.¡± Gu Guofu was very grateful to Bai Han. No one could imagine what the Gu family would have been like now without him. He took a card from his suit pocket, placed it on the coffee table, and moved it towards Bai Han. ¡°Money can¡¯t deal with everything, but I am sure you need it sometimes, Mr. Bai.¡± Gu Guofu chuckled. ¡°Especially you like jewelry, Mr. Bai. Those things are not free, so the three billion is yours.¡± ¡°No need.¡± Bai Han frowned, his expression cold. He pressed a finger on the credit card, and no matter how hard Gu Guofu tried, he could not move it. Chapter 17 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Three billion was enough for Bai Han to buy a lot of magic crystals. However, he had accepted five thousand midgrade magic crystals; Bai Han didn¡¯t think taking three billion from the Gu family was a good idea. Most importantly, the Gu family were businessmen. They always wanted to recover their capital by multiple times the amount they invested, and Bai Han had no idea what they wanted after investing three billion. ¡°I shouldn¡¯t accept this.¡± Bai Han¡¯s attitude was firm. ¡°Mr. Bai, I¡¯m afraid you misunderstood me, ¡°Gu Guofu said with a smile. ¡°I earned it for you. I was having a business meeting with an old friend today. He was curious about my youthful appearance, so I told him about your magic. He paid three billion for a bottle of my Youth Magic Potion. Also, he would like to have a chance to meet you.¡± ¡°F*ck!¡± Bad Han thought. Bai Han looked calm, but he was shocked. A bottle of Youth Magic Potion and a chance to meet three billion dollars? It was just a meeting. Although a bottle of Youth Magic Potion was famous in the magic land, the one he gave Gu Guofu was low-grade. Low-grade Youth Magic Potion was a standard item on the magic land. Is it seriously worth this much on earth? Bai Han suddenly felt that he had been too narrow-minded. In the past, he had only taken some small things from the earth back to the magic land to exchange for something to cultivate. However, an unremarkable thing on the magic land was a divine item on earth! He could sell things from the magic land to earth, make a lot of money, buy something from the ground, and exchange them for better resources on the magical land! The more Bai Han thought about it, the more excited he was. He couldn¡¯t wait to cultivate to become an advanced grand mage as soon as possible so that he could return to the magic land after he could protect himself. ¡°Sir. Gu¡¯s, your friend is quite generous.¡± Bai Han released his grip. Gu Guofu immediately understood Bai Han¡¯s meaning and laughed. ¡°It¡¯s not that he¡¯s generous. Mr. Bai, I think you just haven¡¯t realized that these ordinary things for you are priceless for people like us.¡± They were more than willing to pay billions of dollars for priceless items! Without Mr. Bai, they couldn¡¯t buy any Youth Magic Potion even if they had ten billion. An idea came to Bai Han¡¯s mind. ¡°Don¡¯t hesitate to let me know if anyone needs it. Sir. Gu, you should know that I¡¯m very fond of jewelry and need some specific one. However, I am not sure what kind exactly for now.¡± Gu Guofu¡¯s eyes lit up! Just now, he had been testing Bai Han to see if he wanted to be the middleman, to help him and the others in need so they could each get what they needed. ¡°Awesome! It¡¯s my honor to help you, Mr. Bai.¡± Gu Guofu wanted the Gu family and Bai Han to get closer and closer. Gu Shishi, who was beside, understood what Gu Guofu and Bai Han were discussing and were thrilled. Bai Han¡¯s appearance and magic had attracted her, but after what had just happened¡­ At that time, Gu Shishi thought Bai Han would take advantage of her earlier, but he acted like a gentleman. She looked at Bai Han. The closer the Gu family and Bai Han were, their relationship would be deepened. ¡­. With Bai Han¡¯s permission, Gu Guofu soon told Chen Fan when and where to meet up. Two days later, Bai Han was invited to an intimate dining restaurant run by a Chen family¡¯s in-law. Chen Fan anxiously waited for Bai Han in the booth. Gu Guofu did not come along. The one who wanted to meet Bai Han was Chen Fan, so Gu Guofu didn¡¯t have to join the meeting. Moreover, Bai Han preferred to see Chen Fan alone. He now had a close relationship with Gu Guofu, and Gu Shishi was his disciple. However, the Gu family were businessmen. After all, they pursued profits, so Bai Han could not let Gu Guofu know everything and keep no secret for himself. It was close to their appointment time, but Bai Han was still absent. Chen Fan began to worry that Gu Guofu had tricked him. Just as Chen Fan was increasingly nervous and uneasy, Bai Han suddenly appeared in the booth. Chen Fan was so shocked that he almost fell off his chair. Bai Han used Invisibility Spell and Flying Spell to create a scene of him appearing out of thin air. He calmly pulled out a chair and sat before Chen Fan, staring at him sternly. ¡°Chen Fan,¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Chen Fan sized up Bai Han. ¡°You are Mr. Bai?¡± Chen Fan sounded surprised. He had thought that Bai Han would have been a sage-like older man and had not expected him to be this young! Bad Han seemed to be about the same age as his grandson. Was this the mysterious Mr. Bai? ¡°Yes, Sir. Gu said that you wanted to see me,¡± Bai Han said indifferently. Chen Fan finally confirmed that this was Mr. Bai. Although he was shocked, the way Bai Han had shown up just now was too stunning. Moreover, the fantastic effects of the Youth Magic Potion made Chen Fan not even dare to show any doubt. ¡°Thank you for coming, Mr. Bai. After hearing about you, I¡¯ve been eager to see you. You are a deity for real!¡± Chen Fan smiled positively, his expression full of admiration. He stood up and poured some tea for Bai Han. ¡°Is there anything I can do for you?¡± Bai Han held the teacup in his hand leisurely. ¡°Mr. Bai, it¡¯s not like that.¡± Chen Fan put down the teapot and said, ¡°I heard about Mr. Bai¡¯s story and admired you. That¡¯s why I would like to meet you in person.¡± Bai Han¡¯s brows furrowed, seemingly displeased by Chen Fan¡¯s words. Chen Fan¡¯s heart sank, and he quickly took out the gift he had prepared. However, before he could speak, Bai Han¡¯s face turned cold. ¡°Regardless of whether you have any requests, I believe that you have spent so much money just to see me. That¡¯s very nice of you.¡± Bai Han coldly looked up at the tiny camera on the corner of the wall. ¡°But I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s true now.¡± Chen Fan broke out in a cold sweat. It was usual for private dining restaurants to install cameras in case any issue arose. For the guests¡¯ privacy, the cameras in the booths could not be turned on unless there were exceptional circumstances. However, before Bai Han arrived, Chen Fan had asked someone to turn it on. With a wave of Bai Han¡¯s hand, those monitoring the camera saw the entire screen go black! Although Chen Fan could not see, he knew the camera had been destroyed when he saw Bai Han¡¯s move. However, it wasn¡¯t the point. Mr. Bai was angry! ¡°Mr. Bai, it¡¯s my bad. I didn¡¯t realize that the camera was already on.¡± Chen Fan immediately opened the box of the gift he had brought. A whole set of accessories was inside: necklaces, rings, and watches. The sapphire on the necklace was cut into an oval shape, transparent and shining. The ring was made of jade and was of the old glass type. As for the watch, it was a silver-white metal watch embedded with small diamonds. Chapter 18 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Bai Han glanced at the things Chen Fan took out. These were all priceless jewelry on earth, probably worth over a hundred million. Especially that old glass-type ring. However, no matter how good these things looked, they had no magic waves. Jewelry without magic waves was just ordinary, and there were many more beautiful ones on the magic land. Bai Han looked away, showing that he was not interested at all. Without saying a word, he disappeared from Chen Fan¡¯s sight with a cold face. Chen Fan¡¯s entire body almost went limp, and his eyes were listless as he curled up on the chair. He regretted that he hadn¡¯t thought straight and turned on the camera. Knock knock! ¡°Come in.¡± ¡°Mr. Chen ¡­¡± The person coming in was stunned. Chen Fan was the only one in the private room. The table had priceless necklaces, rings, and watches, but Bai Han was not there. He swallowed and said with some fear, ¡°Mr. Chen, the camera suddenly went black, but the image shows that Mr. Bai did appear suddenly. We¡¯ve checked all the cameras here, and Mr. Bai¡¯s figure is nowhere to be found. It¡¯s like he appeared out of thin air.¡± Chen Fan looked more and more frustrated. The more evidence to prove that Bai Han was an extraordinary person, the more he realized what a mistake he had made. It wasn¡¯t easy to get the opportunity to befriend Mr. Bai. Unfortunately, not only did Chen Fan fail to impress him, but he might have even offended him. ¡°Leave me alone.¡± Chen Fan raised his hand weakly and asked the manager to leave. The manager didn¡¯t dare to say anything and quickly left. When Chen Fan was the only one left in the room, he wiped his face and took out his phone to call Gu Guofu. Gu Guofu was still unaware of what had happened in the private dining restaurant. When he received Chen Fan¡¯s call, he was a bit surprised. ¡°Why do you have time to call me at this time?¡± Chen Fan laughed awkwardly. ¡°Gu, the Chen family doesn¡¯t want anything from the business deal we discussed earlier.¡± Chen Fan¡¯s voice trembled a little. ¡°Can you help me make an appointment with Mr. Bai again? Or let him know I¡¯m sorry for what happened just now?¡± Gu Guofu immediately realized that his old friend had done something stupid. ¡°Chen, what have you done?¡± his voice turned cold. ¡°I ¡­¡± Chen Fan hesitated and answered, ¡°I turned on the camera.¡± Thud! Hearing this, Gu Guofu immediately hung up the phone and did not say another word to Chen Fan. ¡°Terminate all the contracts we have with the Chen family now!¡± Gu Guofu called his secretary with an upset face, ¡°Right now!¡± The secretary was confused. ¡°Gu? But haven¡¯t we been working with the Chen family for many years?¡± ¡°That was in the past. Chen Fan is an idiot. From now on, we will no longer work with the Chen family.¡± Gu Guofu did not hesitate, and his attitude was firm. ¡°I¡¯ll convince the shareholders and Xingrong; just prepare the papers now.¡± The secretary had no choice but to follow his order. After the secretary left, Gu Guofu was so angry that he almost threw all the documents on the table to the floor. ¡°Idiot!¡± It had been such a good opportunity. Not only did Chen Fan not grasp it, but he also offended Mr. Bai. How had he dared to turn on the camera in the private dining restaurant? Chen Fan was such an idiot. Gu Guofu did not hesitate to terminate all the contracts with the Chen family, for he wanted to show Bai Han his determination. Moreover, Chen Fan¡¯s behavior made him question what this idiot would do in the future. Chen Fan hadn¡¯t expected that he failed to have Gu Guofu¡¯s help and made the Gu family break off their cooperation with him. The more Chen Fan thought about the situation, the more afraid he was. Gu Guofu knew Bai Han better. From Gu Guofu¡¯s cautious attitude, he could tell how remarkable Bai Han was. Unfortunately, no matter how scared he was, the case had already been settled. After Chen Fan¡¯s incident, Gu Guofu was more careful when he set up a deal for Bai Han and others. ¡­. Recently, the circle of the upper-middle class had been quite dramatic. First, Gu Guofu had been seriously ill, but he suddenly recovered. Also, Song Chuxi, who was still blind, and Song Chuyi, who had lost an arm, were healed overnight! Moreover, Gu Guofu and Chen Fan looked way younger than before! The star was Mr. Bai, often mentioned by the Gu and Song families. Many people have been trying to get more information. In the end, everything was about Mr. Bai. There were even Youth Magic Potions and Life Potions. Although Life Potion could extend one¡¯s lifespan, the effect was not evident in the early stages. On the contrary, the effects of Youth Magic Potion were pronounced, which was more convincing for the clients. That was why Bai Han had given Gu Guofu ten bottles of low-grade Youth Magic Potion and asked him to help promote it. The Lin family was at the top of the upper-middle families, which meant they were more prosperous than the others. The Lin family¡¯s social status was naturally higher than the Gu family, which was a nouveau riche not long ago. However, the CEO of the Lin family, the current head of the Lin family, acted respectfully to Gu Guofu in a teahouse. ¡°Gu, you look so young!¡± Lin Shu chuckled. He was trying to flatter Gu Guofu, and yet he meant it. Lin Shu had heard of Gu Guofu but hadn¡¯t expected him to be this energetic. ¡°That¡¯s nice of you, Mr. Lin.¡± Gu Guofu replied politely with a calm face. Lin Shu tried to strike up a conversation, wanting to talk about Bai Han and Youth Magic Potion. However, Gu Guofu acted as if he noticed nothing. Lin Shu gritted his teeth and thought talking about the matter directly was better. ¡°G might be easier; I heard you know a man who knows magic called Mr. Bai. He was the one who healed you and the two kids from the Song family.¡± Lin Shu brought up this topic, which meant he let Gu Guofu hold the whip hand. Gu Guofu laughed and admitted, ¡°I know Mr. Bai, and what you said is true.¡± ¡°I knew that!¡± Lin Shu¡¯s eyes lit up, and they thought. ¡°I have to be honest with you, Gu. I am here for this thing.¡± Lin Shu lowered his voice. ¡°I want to meet Mr. Bai.¡± ¡°You want to see him, or it¡¯s Sir Lin?¡± Gu Guofu directly cut to the point. Ever since he recovered and became active in the business circle again, everyone who had seen his current appearance wanted to know what was happening, especially those elders. They had wealth and social status at their age, but they were most worried about aging. They could do nothing except the wrinkles on their face. After knowing that someone had become much younger overnight, they felt hopeful again. Chapter 19 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°It¡¯s Sir. Lin who wants to see him,¡± Lin Shu didn¡¯t hide anything and directly stated his intentions. ¡°Sir. Lin wants me to meet Mr. Bai first to know the situation before him. Would you help us, Gu?¡± Lin Shu smiled. ¡°Of course, the Lin family has prepared something in return for you. The contract of purple crystals next month, what do you say?¡± Gu Guofu didn¡¯t know what to say. ¡°Mr. Lin, do you think that you will see Mr. Bai if you want to? Let me remind you, if you really want to meet Mr. Bai, be his friend, and get some Youth Magic Potion from him, you¡¯d better show your sincerity. Ask Sir. Lin to show up!¡± Gu Guofu slammed his teacup on the table. ¡°You must have heard about what happened to Chen Fan, right? Do you want to be the second Chen Fan?¡± Lin Shu instantly had an upset expression. After drinking Gu Guofu¡¯s potion, Chen Fan had indeed become younger. However, at one point, he suddenly aged and turned out to be the same as before. The Youth Magic Potion that he had spent a billion on lost its effect all of a sudden. In fact, after that, Bai Han used a spell to speed up Chen fan¡¯s aging process until he looked exactly the same as before the potion. Bai Han had to teach him a lesson for the mistake he had made. Otherwise, it would be too energy-consuming for Bai Han to deal with every old man coming to see him. His main purpose for staying on earth was to cultivate to become an advanced grand mage so that he could protect himself. ¡°Mr. Lin, let go of your pride as a member of the Lin family. Mr. Bai is not an ordinary person! He can cure my cancer, Song Chuyi¡¯s broken arm, and even let me go back to my forties¡­¡± Gu Guofu stared at Lin Shu. ¡°Do you think that Mr. Bai is an ordinary person?¡± Lin Shu¡¯s expression became more and more serious as he listened to Gu Guofu¡¯s words. ¡°It¡¯s our bad.¡± Lin Shu didn¡¯t want to be the second Chen Fan. ¡°Yes.¡± Gu Guofu nodded. ¡°It¡¯s good that you are clearheaded. If you were like Chen Fan, I wouldn¡¯t dare to introduce you to Mr. Bai. If you don¡¯t leave him a good impression and instead offend him, that would be terrible.¡± Lin Shu squinted, and he smiled. ¡°Gu, do you still have some Youth Magic Potion? ¡± ¡°I still have some¡­¡± Gu Guofu leaned back in his chair and said calmly. Slap! A credit card was placed in front of Gu Guofu. ¡°Gu, there¡¯s three billion in this account, and part of it is for a bottle of Youth Magic Potion from you. The rest is the commission fee for introducing us to Mr. Bai, please.¡± Gu Guofu looked at the card in front of him and tapped his thigh, not saying a word. Lin Shu understood what he meant. ¡°Gu, don¡¯t worry. We have prepared some pendants after learning that Mr. Bai likes Ruby pendants. If he fancies them, we will send them to his place.¡± Gu Guofu was finally satisfied and kept the credit card. ¡°Mr. Lin, Mr. Bai likes all kinds of jewelry. Sir. Lin can bring some till then.¡± The smile on Lin Shu¡¯s face brightened up. ¡°Thank you for your reminder, Gu. As long as you don¡¯t offend Mr. Bai, everything is good.¡± Gu Guofu waved his hand and stood up to leave. ¡­. After discussing with Lin Shu and arranging the appointment, Gu Guofu went to see Bai Han. To avoid repeating the same mistake, Gu Guofu set the meeting at Bai Han¡¯s villa. ¡°The Lin family is smart. Otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t have been able to pass down their legacy for so many generations. Mr. Bai, I think it¡¯s a good idea to see him.¡± Bai Han thought and nodded. ¡°Alright, I understand. Thank you, Sir. Gu.¡± Gu Guofu was flattered. ¡°Mr. Bai, it¡¯s not a big deal!¡± Two days later, Sir. Lin, Lin Hongzheng, came to Bai Han¡¯s villa. Gu Shishi wasn¡¯t available today, so Bai Han was alone in the villa. ¡°Sir. Lin, please have a seat.¡± Bai Han¡¯s expression was cold. Lin Hong carefully sized up Bai Han as he sat down. The white robe was out of place in modern society, but it suited Bai Han. Lin Hongzheng turned more cautious than on the way here. Bai Han emitted an extraordinary aura. As he was thinking, Bai Han waved his sleeve. The next second, the magic tea was brewed. The teapot, water, tea leaves, and teacups all moved on their own, completing the whole process of making tea. Lin Hongzheng was shocked. ¡°Mr. Bai, this is indeed magic.¡± Lin Hongzheng swallowed and was in awe. ¡°Thank you for seeing me, Mr. Bai. I have heard a lot about you.¡± Bai Han glanced at Lin Hongzheng¡¯s aged face and asked, ¡°Why don¡¯t you take some Youth Magic Potion, Sir. Lin?¡± Lin Hongzheng was not surprised that Bai Han could notice this. The Gu family had been the bridge between the two of them, which meant that they were close. ¡°Because I want to know more about Magical Life Potion.¡± Lin Hongzheng was amazed when he heard the name of this potion. Compared to Youth Magic Potion, he was more interested in Magical Life Potion. However, his concern was the same as others. Youth Magic Potion was effective at first glance, but there was no verification if Magical Life Potion worked after spending a great amount of money. Even if he could, it would take more than ten years. Bai Han picked up a cup of magic tea and took two sips, feeling magic power enter his body through the tea. ¡°Magical Life Potion can extend a person¡¯s life. The one Sir. Gu has is low-grade, which can extend one¡¯s life by ten years.¡± ¡°Mmmm.¡± Lin Hong was a little anxious.¡± Does it mean it¡¯s better to use Magical Life Potion and the Youth Magic Potion together? ¡± Bai Han looked at Lin Hongzheng in surprise. This man was really sharp. ¡°Exactly. Take Magical Life Potion first before Youth Magic Potion.¡± Lin Hongzheng was overjoyed. ¡°Thank you, Mr. Bai. Thank you for your explanation.¡± Lin Hongzheng didn¡¯t directly buy Magical Life Potion from Bai Han. Bai Han looked like a sage, so Lin Hongzheng found it strange to buy potions from him. He decided to buy it directly from Gu Guofu after he left. ¡°Mr. Bai, the Lin family has prepared a small gift to express our gratitude.¡± Lin Hongzheng then made a phone call. The next moment, someone knocked on the door. ¡°Mr. Bai.¡± Bai Han didn¡¯t waste any more time. With a wave of his sleeve, he opened the villa¡¯s door with a spell. Although Lin Hongzheng had already witnessed Bai Han¡¯s magic when he was making tea, he was still shocked to see it again, not to mention his bodyguards standing outside the door. ¡°Sir. Lin, Mr. Bai, everything is here.¡± Chapter 20 - International Jewellery Fair Chapter 20 International Jewellery Fair Lin Hongzheng turned to look at Bai Han. After seeing Bai Han nod, Lin Hongzheng heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Move them in,¡± he ordered his bodyguards. The bodyguards carried ten large boxes in. ¡°It¡¯s too difficult to find purple crystals on the market now, but pendants are more common.¡¯ Ever since Gu Guofu had bought all the purple crystals, the ones produced afterward could not keep up with the demand in the market. Especially after several families found out that Bai Han liked purple crystals and ruby pendants, they fought for them with all their might. It took Lin Hong quite a lot of effort to find these purple crystals and ruby pendants. ¡°There are five hundred purple crystals and five hundred ruby pendants in here. They are all yours now, Mr. Bai,¡± Lin Hongzheng said with a smile. There were even more purple crystals and pendants in Bai Han¡¯s storage room upstairs. When he looked at the ten human-sized boxes, he didn¡¯t feel a trace of excitement. The five hundred crystals and five hundred ruby pendants were nothing to him. Back in the magic land, Bai Han couldn¡¯t have imagined this scene. In Glacier Academy, magic crystals were precious cultivation materials and currency. It was rare to have access to these treasures. ¡°Just leave them here.¡± Lin Hongzheng couldn¡¯t tell if Bai Han was pleased or not from his expression, so he was a bit disappointed. He put on a smile. ¡°It was my pleasure talking to you, Mr. Bai.¡± Lin Hong left with his bodyguards. Lin Shu was waiting anxiously in the car outside the villa. ¡°Dad, did Mr. Bai say anything?¡± ¡°He¡¯s not an ordinary person.¡± Lin Hongzheng shook his head. ¡°It¡¯s a shame that he didn¡¯t seem to be interested in the gifts we prepared.¡¯ Lin Shu didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry.¡¯ Dad, Mr. Bai likes purple crystals and ruby pendants, but do you know how many the Gu family has given him? ¡± ¡°The Gu family gave a total of forty thousand purple crystals and five thousand ruby pendants!¡± Lin Hongzheng took a deep breath and muttered, ¡°No wonder Mr. Bai didn¡¯t look excited.¡± Compared to the huge amount from the Gu family, the Lin family¡¯s gifts would probably not be taken seriously. ¡°Dad, don¡¯t worry.¡± Lin Shu smiled. ¡°Mr. Bai likes jewelry. I have an invitation to International Jewellery Fair, and we can give it to him.¡± Lin Hongzheng¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Great! Send it to Mr. Bai immediately!¡± ¡°Sure.¡± Bai Han, who was in the villa, thought that the Lin family only offered three billion that Gu Guofu had already given him and the ten boxes of jewelry. He didn¡¯t expect that after Lin Hongzheng left, Lin Shu would give him a surprise! Bai Han took the gold foil stamping invitation card from Lin Shu. The red background of the invitation was gilded with gold, and the words on it were also stamped with gold powder. There were even two thin pieces of gemstones stuck on it. It was stunning and eye-catching. ¡°Thank you so much.¡± Bai Han didn¡¯t refuse the gift. Meanwhile, his expression became gentler as he smiled. Seeing Bai Han¡¯s faint smile, Lin Shu knew that everything was settled. ¡°Mr. Bai, it¡¯s our pleasure.¡± It was necessary to wear formal attire to attend this kind of occasion, so it would be bizarre if Bai Han showed up with his white robe. He didn¡¯t plan to look out of the place. However, before Bai Han asked Gu Guofu for help in preparing the outfit, everything had been prepared, for he had received the news. ¡°You¡¯re going to International Jewellery Fair?¡± Gu Shishi heard the news when she returned from work. At this moment, Bai Han was trying on a suit. He turned around to look at Gu Shishi when he heard her voice. Gu Shishi held her breath and stared at Bai Han in a daze. Bai Han always wore a long white robe, so Gu Shishi had never seen him in black. She hadn¡¯t expected that black would suit him so well. These two colors made him look completely different. When Bai Han didn¡¯t smile, he looked cold and indifferent, like an immortal figure. However, when he smiled, the coldness on his face was replaced by gentleness. When Bai Han lowered his eyes and looked at her in his black suit, he released a strong aura and made people feel afraid. Gu Shishi unconsciously breathed lighter, afraid that she would disturb Bai Han. ¡°Yes, we¡¯ll leave the day after tomorrow.¡± Gu Shishi had been doing well in her job recently. Ever since she started cultivating, Gu Shishi looked much better than before, perhaps because of her magical powers. Whether it was acting or photo shooting, Gu Shishi was very in-demand. ¡°I am the face of a brand at International Jewellery Fair this year.¡¯ Bai Han smiled. ¡°That¡¯s great. We can go together.¡¯ Gu Shishi nodded her head, and she couldn¡¯t keep her eyes off, Bai Han. When Bai Han was in a black suit, even when he smiled, he still had that intimidating aura. Anyone could tell that he wasn¡¯t just a nobody. Bai Han and Gu Shishi took a first-class flight the day before International Jewellery Fair. They had no choice. The event was held in Paris, and Bai Han was not familiar with the route at all. If he flew with Gu Shishi, they might get lost halfway. It was already eight in the evening when they arrived at the official accommodation. Bai Han and Gu Shishi handed their invitation cards to the front desk in the hostel to check-in. ¡°Excuse me, should I prepare a room for you two?¡± the receptionist asked hesitantly. Gu Shishi¡¯s face turned red immediately! ¡°Two rooms, please. ¡°Bai Han¡¯s expression remained the same. The receptionist wasn¡¯t sure if they were a couple, so it was better to ask in advance. ¡°Sure!¡± ¡°Oh my god! Ms. Gu?¡± Just as the front desk was checking Bai Han and Gu Shishi in, a high-pitched and sarcastic voice came from behind. Bai Han turned his head, swept a glance over them, and coldly shifted his gaze back. It was as if the three beautiful women behind him didn¡¯t exist. However, he was more than thrilled. They were one of the most popular celebrities! Each of them was beautiful and had a decent style! Gu Shishi was pure and fresh, and one of these three celebrities was alluring. She had a mature and sexy style. The other two were also attractive. Seeing them made Bad Han nervous like a teenage boy, but he still remained calm! Gu Shishi glanced at one of the women coldly. ¡°Yes?¡± Liu Meiyue, the coquettish celebrity, ran her fingers through her hair. ¡°I just wanted to say hi. Shishi, you¡¯re invited by the brand to attend this International Jewellery Fair. Why do you bring a date? He¡¯s cute, but you have to be careful. You¡¯re a celebrity now. How can you just date a normal guy? Liu Meiyue was demeaning Bai Han and mocking Gu Shishi. However, the other two did not say a word. From Bai Han¡¯s temperament and aura, it was obvious that he was not a toy boy. They didn¡¯t mind offending Gu Shishi, but they did not want to mess with the wrong person. They were all waiting for Bai Han to say something. Chapter 21 - I Want Them All Chapter 21 I Want Them All Bai Han turned around, raised his eyes, and looked indifferently at Liu Meiyue. His stare made Liu Meiyue¡¯s body stiffen. Fear filled her heart, and she couldn¡¯t move at all. ¡°Liu Meiyue, you¡¯d better shut up!¡± There was anger on Gu Shishi¡¯s delicate face. ¡°Shishi, she doesn¡¯t deserve your energy,¡± Bai Han suppressed the angry Gu Shishi. Liu Meiyue didn¡¯t dare to say anything. She wanted to retort, but she couldn¡¯t say a word when she opened her mouth. Her throat seemed to be choked by something, which made it impossible for her to speak at all. She could feel fear crawling up her spine. ¡°Mr. Bai, Ms. Gu, here are your key cards.¡± The front desk staff handed the key cards and invitation cards to Gu Shishi and Bai Han. When Liu Meiyue saw both Bai Han and Gu Shishi had invitation cards, her face instantly turned pale. The next second, she closed her mouth. Not anyone could receive an invitation card. Since Bai Han knew Gu Shishi, he should also know that Liu Meiyue was from the Liu family. However, he was not afraid of her at all. Who was this man? Liu Meiyue had never seen Bai Han in any upper-class social event, which was why she had dared to mock him. However, she started to doubt herself now. ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± Bai Han said, grabbed Gu Shishi¡¯s wrist, and took her away. He did not even bother to look at Liu Meiyue. After Bai Han and Gu Shishi left, Liu Meiyue¡¯s stiff body could finally move. Bai Han didn¡¯t pay much attention to Liu Mei Yue, for he only cared about the official brochure. It contained a detailed introduction to the jewelry that would be displayed tomorrow. Bai Han flipped through it, getting more and more excited about the fair. He found that many of the magic crystals on the magic land were jewelry from the earth. He had found low-grade and midgrade magic crystals, and he wondered if there would be any high-grade ones. This idea made Bai Han more than thrilled. The next day, Bai Han arrived at the fair early in the morning. The entire venue was divided into more than thirty sections with different brands. ¡°Mr. Bai.¡± Gu Shishi did not address Bai Han as her master in public. ¡°I need to go to see my client.¡± ¡°Sure! I¡¯ll check around then.¡± Gu Shishi was a bit disappointed when she did not get the answer she had expected. She glanced at Bai Han, who was completely focused on the various pieces of jewelry and left. Bai Han¡¯s temperament was extraordinary. Although the participants didn¡¯t recognize him, they were very respectful. Those who could attend International Jewellery Fair were important figures. The prominent celebrities were models for the brands to display their jewelry at this event. On the other hand, Bai Han was still strolling around, which showed that he was not here to work but collect jewelry. Bai Han had already checked the small venues of six brands, but he did not find anything with magic power. Bai Han entered the seventh one. The previous six small venues had disappointed him. Quite a few brands nearby had noticed Bai Han. ¡°Sir, what kind of jewelry are you looking for?¡± The salesperson from the brand of this small venue was sharp, and she directly asked Bai Han what kind of jewelry he wanted. ¡°Something red, and the color should be bright red and transparent. It should be smooth and cold in hand,¡± Bai Han described high-grade magic crystals. The salesperson thought for a moment and brought Bai Han to the gem area. ¡°What you¡¯re talking about should be a type of ruby gem. The red and bright ones are all top-grade. Our brand has a complete collection in the fair today.¡± The salesperson was very confident. As long as Bai Han wanted rubies, this brand should be the only one which could satisfy him. Bai Han stepped forward, full of anticipation. After looking at all the rubies, he sighed. He shook his head. ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± The salesperson was a little stunned. ¡°Is there no ruby that you want, Sir?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think so. || If the rubies here were the most complete, then the high-grade magical crystals should not be rubies. High-level magical crystals were also red, but they were different from midgrade ones, which were dark red. High-grade magical crystals had a brighter red color. The salesman was somewhat frustrated. ¡°I am afraid that you might not be able to find what you want today, then.¡± Bai Han didn¡¯t say anything and was ready to head to the next brand. When he was just about to leave, something suddenly came to the salesperson¡¯s mind. ¡°Sir, if you¡¯re looking for bright red, shiny, and cold jewelry, something here might meet your requirements,¡± she called Bai Han. Bai Han squinted. ¡°Tell me.¡± ¡°I think you are looking for red emeralds. The brand of the third small venue on the right is famous for emeralds, and I heard that they brought a glass-type red emerald today.¡± ¡°Thank you so much.¡± Bai Han hurriedly walked towards the venue the salesperson had mentioned. When Bai Han arrived, there were many people in the venue, and most of them were gathered in a corner. Bai Han swiftly passed through the crowd and came to the front. No one knew how Bai Han had appeared in front of them in the blink of an eye. However, the jewelry in front of them was more eye-catching, so they didn¡¯t pay too much attention to him. When he saw the red emeralds in front of him, he was so excited and had a bright smile on his face. There was a piece of red emerald that had been polished smooth and round. The quality was fine, shining, and transparent. Moreover, the color was evenly distributed, bright, and beautiful. It was a high-grade magic crystal! Bai Han recognized it was a high-grade magical crystal instantly! ¡°I want this red emerald,¡± Bai Han said decisively. As soon as he said that, the entire small venue fell silent. ¡°Sir, glass-type red emeralds are very rare. I¡¯m sure you all know about this,¡± The sales manager in charge of the venue smiled and said. ¡°We found more than one red emerald that has such quality, so we will cooperate with jewelers but not sell them to individuals.¡± Bai Han¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°You have more than one?¡± The sales manager did not understand why Bai Han was so happy, but she still professionally maintained her smile. ¡°Yes, so Sir, they are really¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯ll take them all,¡± The smile on the sales manager¡¯s face disappeared, and her eyes widened. ¡°Sir, do you know how much all our red emeralds cost?¡± The people around him also looked at him with dumbfounded expressions. Some of them were jewelers. They only looked at it and didn¡¯t buy it directly because this brand had a lot of red emeralds in their hands. If they bought all of them, it would cost them an arm and a leg. Moreover, they had to pay in one go, which made most of them hesitate. ¡°Is five billion enough?¡± Bai Han¡¯s gaze had been fixed on the red emerald when he proposed the offer. Chapter 22 - The Worldwide Actress Chapter 22 The Worldwide Actress Gu Guofu had made many business deals for Bai Han recently. Although Bai Han only met Chen Fan and Lin Hongzheng, Gu Guofu sold several bottles of Youth Magic Potion and two bottles of Magical Life Potion. A bottle of Youth Magic Potion was a billion, while a bottle of Magical Life Potion cost 2 billion. In just a few days, he had earned money from the magic potions, Chen Fan and Lin Hongzheng¡¯s recommendation fees from befriending Bai Han, and a portion of Gu Xinghuang¡¯s assets. Now that Bai Han already had a net worth of over ten billion, so five billion was not a big number for him. However, the sales manager and those who wanted to buy the red emeralds were shocked! Five billion? These red emeralds were several billion, so it was difficult and risky to take out so much cash at once. That was why they had hesitated for so long. Red emeralds were top-tier, not to mention the glass-type ones. They could be made into jewelry and sold for hundreds of millions. Such a high-priced luxury item meant that its sales volume was not high, and it would take time to earn its cost. ¡°He¡¯s crazy,¡± one of the jewelers mumbled. Bai Han looked at the sales manager. ¡°So? If it¡¯s not enough, I can¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s enough! Sir, please follow me!¡± Without waiting for Bai Han to finish his sentence, the sales manager, who had been in a daze, quickly said. The price Bai Han offered was more than enough! It was rare to meet such a straightforward customer like Bai Han, so the sales manager was smiling ear to ear. ¡°How may I address you, Sir?¡± ¡°I am Bai Han.¡± ¡°Nice to meet you, Mr. Bai,¡± the sales manager politely greeted Bai Han and, took out a contract, placed it on the table. ¡°This is the contract agreement. Mr. Bai, you would like to buy all the red emeralds that our company has discovered, right? There are about fifty pieces of red emeralds that are similar in size to the one in the display case, and they are worth 3.9 billion on the market.¡± Bai Han looked down and flipped through the contract. He didn¡¯t pick up the pen to sign, but instead, he put the contract back on the table. ¡°Mr. Bai?¡± The sales manager was confused. ¡°I need to check the red emeralds first to make sure their color and quality are as fine as the one I just saw,¡± Bai Han said calmly. Although five billion was not much to him, he didn¡¯t want to be ripped off. If the red emeralds in their warehouse were not high-grade magic crystals, it would not be worth it to spend five billion on all of them. After all, one high-grade magical crystal was equivalent to one hundred midgrade ones. Buying a hundred midgrade magical crystals wouldn¡¯t even cost five billion. The sales manager patted his forehead. ¡°Excuse me. I was so excited that I almost forgot about this matter. You are right! After the fair is over, you are more than welcome to come to visit the warehouse. It is in Paris.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Bai Han said. When Bai Han and the sales manager came out, everyone¡¯s eyes were on him. The sales manager was very kind and respectful to Bai Han. ¡°Mr. Bai, please wait for me here.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± There were many distinguished jewelers and famous celebrities in this small venue, and everyone was sizing up Bai Han. They were all in the upper class, but none of them had heard of Mr. Bai. There wasn¡¯t a single family with the surname Bai in the circle. Where did Mr. Bai come from? ¡°Mr. Bai.¡± A jeweler with a big belly laughed as he came to Bai Han. ¡°May I know which part of China you are from, Mr. Bai?¡± ¡°May I know your jewelry brand first?¡± Bai Han raised his eyes and looked at him indifferently. The jeweler was a little scared by this look, but he quickly calmed down. ¡°Mr. Bai, you seemed very generous. I am curious about you, but I am sorry if I made you uncomfortable.¡± ¡°I¡¯m Zhu Maoling, the owner of Yiyu Jewellery. May I know your name, Mr. Bai?¡± ¡°Bai Han,¡± Bai Han said with a cold tone. Yiyu Jewellery was one of the top emerald Jewelers in China, well known for emeralds. As for the magic crystals that Bai Han knew of, other than the red emerald here, he had never seen any with magic waves. Bai Han? Everyone was even more confused when they heard the name. How come none of them had heard of this name before? ¡°Mr. Bai, are you buying these red emeralds to make jewelry? If so, may I order one in advance?¡± A gentle female voice came to Bad Han¡¯s ear. Bai Han raised his eyebrows and saw a woman in a red dress walking up to him. She had a sharp oval face and a pair of fox-like eyes. The corners of her eyes were slightly raised, and her eyes were alluring when she smiled. ¡°I am not making any jewelry with these red emeralds?¡± Bai Han was interested in her. ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± People in the room were speechless. It turned out Mr. Bai would only talk to beautiful women! Especially Zhu Maoling. He had plucked up his courage to greet Bai Han, but he only knew his name so far. However, the next second, he was asking the famous celebrity Shen Yi¡¯s name with a smile. Zhu Maoling was frustrated. Shen Yi chuckled, and her red lips curled into a smile. ¡°I thought you knew who I am, Mr. Bai. I am Shen Yi.¡± Holy crap! Hearing this name, Bai Han finally remembered who she was. Shen Yi was a worldwide actress! Shen Yi¡¯s status was similar to Gu Shishi¡¯s, but Gu Shishi was only famous in China. On the other hand, Shen Yi gained a reputation internationally. Bad Han had stayed in the magic land for too long, and ever since he had started to cultivate, he had not paid much attention to any news about celebrities. When he saw Shen Yi, he couldn¡¯t recall who she was at first but thought that she looked familiar. What attracted Bai Han was the magical waves coming from Shen Yi! It wasn¡¯t coming from Shen Yi¡¯s accessories but from her body! If a person to have trained in magic or had extremely high talent. Only then would they have magical waves when they had not trained in magic. had magical waves, they either had Bai Han was interested in her. If she had never cultivated, he had to take her in as a disciple. Besides the tuition from a new disciple, her talent caught his attention. ¡°Have you heard of magic?¡± Bai Han asked tentatively. Shen Yi was startled, not understanding why Bai Han would suddenly ask this question. ¡°I¡¯ve heard of it, but magic shouldn¡¯t exist in this world,¡± she smiled politely and said. Bai Han smiled but said nothing. From Shen Yi¡¯s reply, Bai Han could confirm that she had never come into contact with magic before. ¡°Mr. Bai.¡± Bai Han was just thinking about how to get Shen Yi to come under his wing when he heard Gu Shishi¡¯s voice. ¡°Mr. Bai, what are you doing here?¡± Gu Shishi came to Bai Han¡¯s side with a smile and greeted him like a friend. ¡°Oh, Shishi, you and Mr. Bai know each other.¡± Shen Yi looked at Gu Shishi and Bai Han. Seeing Shen Yi, Gu Shishi seemed somewhat upset. ¡°Yes. I guess you¡¯ve just met Mr. Bai, right?¡± Chapter 23 - The War Chapter 23 The War Bai Han immediately knew something was up. He finally remembered that Shen Yi and Gu Shishi were enemies! If he took Shen Yi in as his disciple, the two of them wouldn¡¯t be fighting every day, right? However, Bai Han still didn¡¯t want to miss out on a disciple with exceptional talent. ¡°You¡¯re both in the entertainment industry, so you should know each other.¡± Bai Han laughed awkwardly and separated the two. He didn¡¯t want them to start to have an argument. ¡°We¡¯ve worked together a few times. Mr. Bai, grandpa said he would pay for anything you like here,¡± Gu Shishi glared at Shen Yi, held Bai Han¡¯s arm, and said affectionately. The men in the room looked at them with jealousy in their eyes. These two actresses were both fond of Bai Han, so they all wished they had been Bad Han. However, after hearing Gu Shishi¡¯s words, these people were a little shocked. Did Bai Han know Sir. Gu? If that was the case, Bai Han was definitely not just a nobody! The Gu family was a distinguished family, and Bai Han could make the rock of this family, Sir. Gu, take him seriously. Although the Gu family wasn¡¯t at the top of society, Sir. Gu had made his family climb up to this position by himself. That was why those in the upper-class society respected Sir. Gu a lot. Moreover, everyone looked at Gu Shishi with strange expressions. Bai Han had just spent a few billion on some red emeralds, and she had just said that her family would pay for him¡­ ¡°No need,¡± Bai Han refused. The Gu family had already spent a lot of money on him. If he asked the Gu family to pay 3.9 billion, that would not be nice. ¡°Alright.¡± Gu Shishi looked a little disappointed. ¡°By the way, Shishi, ¡°Bai Han reminded her, ¡°I just bought some red emeralds. I¡¯ll go to a warehouse with a sales manager to check the goods later.¡± Gu Shishi smiled. ¡°I will come with you.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Bai Han did not refuse her this time. Now that Gu Shishi also needed to cultivate, these magic crystals would be useful to her in the future. It would be good for her to know more about them. ¡°Mr. Bai.¡± Shen Yi suddenly said, ¡°the owner of Cynthia Jewelry is an old man from a French noble family, and he only speaks French. Mr. Bai, you need an interpreter.¡± Bai Han was startled, for he had never thought of this matter. He could speak English, but he knew nothing about French. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Mr. Bai. There will be an interpreter there,¡± the sales manager quickly said. Bai Han did not agree. If the interpreter worked for Cynthia Jewelry, Bai Han wouldn¡¯t know if they tricked him. Shen Yi knew Bai Han¡¯s concern and smiled even brighter. ¡°I lived in France for two years before, and I can speak a bit of French. I can be your interpreter, Mr. Bai. I also want to see these red emeralds.¡± Shen Yi blinked her eyes in embarrassment, ¡°red emeralds are really rare, not to mention this amount.¡± ¡°No need.¡± Gu Shishi pursed her lips and stared at Shen Yi with hostility. ¡°I¡¯ll ask my grandfather to find an interpreter. My family can afford this, so we don¡¯t need your help, Shen Yi.¡± ¡°The fair is about to end, and I¡¯m afraid we¡¯ll have to wait for a while to find an interpreter.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I will¡­¡± Gu Shishi said coldly. ¡°Shishi,¡± Bai Han interrupted Gu Shishi. ¡°Ms. Shen, I am sorry. Maybe I will need you to come with me,¡± Bai Han immediately agreed. Shen Yi raised her eyebrow and looked at Gu Shishi, looking provoking. Shen Yi then turned to Bai Han and smiled brightly. ¡°Mr. Bai, don¡¯t worry. It¡¯s my pleasure. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to see so many red emeralds.¡± Gu Shishi¡¯s face was slightly pale as she pursed her lips. ¡°Shishi.¡± Bai Han tugged at Gu Shishi¡¯s arm gently and whispered into her ear, ¡°I have something to tell her.¡± Bai Han¡¯s warm breath came to Gu Shishi¡¯s ear as he spoke. Gu Shishi¡¯s ears turned red almost instantly, and she forgot her anger right away. ¡°Oh.¡± About ten minutes later, the fair ended. Bai Han, Gu Shishi, and Shen Yi followed the sales manager into a car. ¡°After being polished, these red emeralds are placed in my boss¡¯ castle.¡± A castle? Bai Han knitted his eyebrows. It seemed like the owner of Cynthia Jewelry was not an ordinary noble. The car drove all the way and finally stopped in front of a beautiful castle in the suburbs. The castle was a typical French castle with some traces of time, but it should have been maintained often. It didn¡¯t look old but had a charm. ¡°Mr. Bai.¡± The owner of Cynthia Jewelry was a tall and thin old French noble. ¡°Lin just told me that you bought all of my red emeralds,¡± When he saw Bai Han, he greeted him warmly. As soon as the owner appeared and spoke, Shen Yi moved next o Bai Han and interpreted everything in Chinese. ¡°Thank you.¡± Bai Han nodded. ¡°Please follow me,¡± the owner said with a friendly tone. He immediately opened a bottle of red wine and served Bai Han. After some small talk, Bai Han held the wine glass and cut to the point, ¡°Sir, may I check the red emeralds first? I am afraid I can¡¯t stay in France for long.¡± After Shen Yi interpreted his sentence, the owner patted his head in frustration. ¡°Oh! I am sorry! Please follow me, Mr. Bai.¡± Bai Han put down his wine glass and followed the owner through a few corridors before entering a room. As soon as he walked in, Bai Han was stunned. There were a few shelves in the room, and all of them were filled with emeralds. Moreover, they were not ordinary emeralds. The most average emeralds here were even the top-level ice-type emeralds, and all of them cost a fortune. The ice-type emeralds that could be placed here were all rare in color. Most of them were glass-type emeralds, which were bright in color. The owner brought Bai Han to the last shelf. This shelf was full of red emeralds, which were similar to the one displayed at the fair. Bai Han¡¯s eyes lit up, and his breathing became rapid. They were all high-grade mana crystals! There were fifty-four high-grade magical crystals! There were less than fifty high-level magic crystals in Glacier Academy. Not only did high-grade mana crystals contain more magic power, but they were also purer. Nothing contained purer magic power than high-grade magical crystal. The purer the magic power, the more helpful it was for a mage¡¯s advancement, especially when it was a major leap in rank. With the magic power of high-grade magical crystals, he would be able to level up twice as fast! These high-grade magic crystals came to him at the right time! Bai Han was now an advanced mage. After cultivating, he was only one bottleneck away from becoming an elementary grand mage. Chapter 24 - A New Disciple Chapter 24 A New Disciple With these high-grade magical crystals, this bottleneck would be like a thin layer of paper that could be easily broken with a light poke. ¡°I¡¯ll get someone to send them over?¡± the owner asked. Emeralds were fragile, and they needed special vehicles and people to transport them for a long distance. Otherwise, it was likely that they would be broken on the road. These red emeralds were all priceless, so nobody wanted to see any of them damaged. ¡°No need,¡± Bai Han waved his hand, and all the red emeralds on the shelf disappeared! Shen Yi and the owner had never seen Bai Han¡¯s magic before, so they were stunned. ¡°Bai, is this Chinese magic? ¡°The owner looked at Bai Han in a daze. Bai Han smiled faintly. ¡°You can say so.¡± Shen Yi¡¯s gaze on Bai Han became even more passionate. She had only been attracted by Bai Han¡¯s appearance and temperament, as well as the fact that he was generous with his money, so she had the intention to befriend him. However, she was truly shocked. She wanted to get closer to Bai Han. Furthermore, it came to her mind that Bai Han had asked her if she had ever heard of magic at the fair. Could this be magic? Even after Bai Han and the other two left, the owner was still in shock. ¡°Oh, my god!¡± After leaving the castle and seeing the sales manager off, the three of them were in the airport waiting room. ¡°Mr. Bai, was that magic? ¡°Shen Yi couldn¡¯t wait to ask. ¡°Yes.¡± Bai Han nodded with a faint smile. Shen Yi glanced at Gu Shishi from the corner of her eyes. Gu Shishi wasn¡¯t surprised at all, which showed that it wasn¡¯t something new for her. ¡°Mr. Bai, I am very interested in magic. I wonder if I can have the honor of learning magic from you?¡± Shen Yi hesitated for a moment before asking. Shen Yi meant that she wanted to be his disciple. Bai Han raised his eyes, and he hadn¡¯t expected Shen Yi to bring up this topic before him. It seemed that nobody could resist magic. Gu Shishi looked at Shen Yi smugly, but she suddenly had a bad feeling. As she had expected, Bai Han nodded. ¡°Sure.¡± Shen Yi¡¯s eyes were filled with joy. ¡°Master?¡± Gu Shishi raised her head to look at Bai Han, and her almond-shaped showed her helplessness. She had known that she might not be his only disciple, and she was aware of her poor talent¡­ However, Gu Shishi hadn¡¯t expected this day to come so quickly, not to mention that the junior apprentice was her rival in the entertainment industry. However, what right did she have to interfere with Bai Han¡¯s decision? Bai Han patted her shoulder to comfort her. ¡°Shishi, Shen Yi isn¡¯t a bad person. Besides, don¡¯t you want to have a junior apprentice? Even though Bai Han didn¡¯t know Shen Yi well, he had a good eye for people. Shen Yi knew how to please people, but she didn¡¯t have any bad intentions. Gu Shishi¡¯s eyes lit up when she heard Bad Han call Shen Yi a junior apprentice. That was right! Shen Yi was Bai Han¡¯s disciple now, so she would still have to bow down to her and treat her as a senior apprentice. Seeing Gu Shishi was pleased, Bai Han heaved a sigh of relief and kept talking to Shen Yi. ¡°I have an additional condition.¡± Shen Yi did not mind either, whether it was the way to call Gu Shishi or the additional conditions that Bai Han had mentioned. Being able to learn magic was the chance of a lifetime. With such an opportunity, how could additional conditions stop her? Even if Bai Han¡¯s additional condition was her body, Shen Yi did not mind. ¡°The tuition fee is thirty thousand purple crystals.¡± Shen Yi raised her head in shock. Thirty thousand purple crystals? It meant a few billion, right? Shen Yi, who had been confident that she would accept any of Bai Han¡¯s conditions, suddenly hesitated. She would have no more savings after buying thirty thousand purple crystals. Should he give it a try? Shen Yi gritted her teeth and nodded.¡± Alright!¡± Without money, she could work on films, advertisements, and the face of brands, but she only had one chance to learn magic! Bai Han immediately broke into a smile. ¡°Shishi, give Shen Yi my address. Come to see me when you¡¯re ready.¡± On this trip, not only had he obtained more than fifty high-grade magic crystals, but he had also found a new disciple who was extremely talented and would pay him thirty thousand purple crystals. Bai Han couldn¡¯t be happier. He was making a killing! Bai Han had gained a lot from this trip, so he asked Gu Guofu to give Lin Hongzhengzheng an additional bottle of Enhancement Potion. After returning, Bai Han took the high-grade magic crystals and was about to be isolated so that he could break through to become a grand mage. At this time, someone knocked on the villa¡¯s door. He opened the door and saw an anxious-looking man standing outside. ¡°Mr. Bai, I¡¯m Lin Shu. You have met Sir. Lin, right? He¡¯s my grandfather.¡± ¡°Is there anything I can help you with?¡± Bai Han asked directly. Lin Shu looked anxious and spoke quickly, ¡°Mr. Bai, my wife¡¯s mother, suddenly started vomiting and having diarrhea two days ago. She is pretty old now, so it¡¯s actually very serious. We sent her to the hospital, but there were a bunch of tests. They said that they¡¯d only know what¡¯s going on next week,¡± Lin Shu said anxiously. ¡°There are still five days before the results are out, and we can¡¯t wait anymore. The medicine prescribed by the hospital doesn¡¯t work.¡± Lin Shu knew that the hospital couldn¡¯t be blamed for this. After all, they didn¡¯t dare to come up with a treatment plan without a clear examination, so the medicine they prescribed was also mild. However, seeing his mother-in-law in such a terrible condition and her vital signs declining day by day, his wife was so anxious that she had not slept for two days. ¡°Mr. Bai, we have prepared the payment. A total of three thousand ruby pendants. If you still need more, we can increase the payment. We don¡¯t have much time here, so we only managed to collect this amount.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± Bai Han held onto Lin Shu¡¯s arm. ¡°Which hospital is she in?¡± After Lin Shu told him the name of the hospital and the ward number, Bai Han flew Lin Shu directly from the villa to the ward. Mrs. Lin was taking care of her mother on the bed, who had just fallen asleep, and her eyes were red. ¡°Lin Shu?¡± Mrs. Lin looked at Lin Shu in shock. Lin Shu saw his wife the moment he opened her eyes and was even more shocked by Bai Han¡¯s magic. However, he felt more at ease now. With Bai Han¡¯s magic, he should be able to cure his mother-in-law. ¡°This is Mr. Bai, and he is here to treat mom.¡¯ Mrs. Lin had heard a lot about Bai Han from Lin Shu and Lin Hongzhengzheng recently, so she knew a little about his magic. ¡°Mr. Bai!¡± Mrs. Lin immediately grabbed Bai Han¡¯s sleeve. ¡°Please save her, please, please¡­¡± With that, she knelt down. Lin Shu was heartbroken when he saw this scene, so he knelt down next to his wife and held her arm. ¡°Mr. Bai, please. ¡°Don¡¯t worry,¡± Bai Han immediately cast an Intermediate Healing Spell on the old woman on the bed. The next second, her face turned rosy. Chapter 25 - The Vision Chapter 25 The Vision However, Lin Shu¡¯s mother-in-law had not recovered yet. Bai Han frowned and cast another Intermediate Healing Spell. The color of her face blood finally returned to normal, and she looked way healthier. Bai Han did a quick check and nodded at Lin Shu after making sure everything was fine. ¡°She¡¯s healed now?¡± Mrs.Lin was overjoyed. She went forward to wake her mother up. ¡°Mom, how do you feel now?¡± Lin Shu¡¯s mother-in-law woke up in a daze. ¡°I¡­ I just¡­¡± Suddenly, her eyes widened. ¡°I am not sick anymore. I feel very energetic.¡± Ever since she had become old, this was the first time she felt this relaxed. She felt as if she was younger now! ¡°Thank you, Mr. Bai!¡± Lin Shu was so excited that she grabbed Bai Han¡¯s hand. Bai Han pulled his hand away, but there was no smile on his face. ¡°Mr. Lin, Mrs.Lin, may I have a word, please?¡± Lin Shu and his wife could tell that the treatment didn¡¯t seem to be going so smoothly, and the smile on their faces immediately disappeared. ¡°Mom, Mr. Bai is the one saving your life. Take a rest. We have something to discuss with Mr. Bai.¡± Lin Shu¡¯s mother-in-law was not stupid. She knew that something was up, and they did not want her to know. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about me.¡± She patted Mrs. Lin¡¯s hand. Bai Han waited outside the ward for a while before Lin Shu helped Mrs.Lin out. ¡°Mr. Bai, there¡¯s something wrong, right?¡± Lin Shu had a worried face. Mrs. Lin¡¯s eyes turned red when she heard his question. ¡°Everything is good for now, and she is healthy now. However, she will pass away pretty soon, probably in one or two years.¡± Bai Han sighed gently. ¡°My treatment can ensure that she will not suffer from any illness for the rest of her life. However, it¡¯s natural to die as born. This is inevitable.¡± Lin Shu and Mrs. Lin were stunned. Lin Shu¡¯s mother-in-law was already over eighty years old, and everyone would die one day. Bai Han couldn¡¯t extend the lifespans of all his patients. If Bai Han interfered and extended their lifespans when they should die of old age, this world would probably be thrown into chaos. ¡°I got it. Thank you, Mr. Bai.¡± Lin Shu was the first to regain his senses. He bowed to Bai Han. ¡°I am grateful. Thank you for letting my mother-in-law enjoy the rest of her life without suffering.¡± Many elders suffered from illness and pain in the years before their deaths. Bai Han nodded and disappeared. Lin Shu held his wife and tried to calm her down in a low voice. After returning to the villa, Bai Han immediately began to break through to become an elementary grand mage. He took out all the high-grade magical crystals and piled them up by his hand. After casting a Sealing Spell on the door, he held a high-grade magical crystal in one hand and began to advance to an elementary grand mage. When Bai Han opened his eyes again, three days had already passed. A vision also appeared in the sky above the villa. Dark clouds gathered above the villa, making people feel that lightning would strike at any time. However, more than half a day had passed, and the dark clouds were gathering more and more, but not a single lightning bolt struck down. The dark clouds were stuck. At the same time, in the sky above the villa, a large amount of magic power condensed. If someone could see it, they would see it formed a vortex that fell directly on Bai Han¡¯s head. The pressure on Bai Han¡¯s body rose steadily, and the magic power in his body became more and more solid. His reserves were several times larger than when he was a mage! He had successfully become an elementary grand mage! Bai Han had only spent a month cultivating from an elementary mage to an elementary grand mage on earth! Mages were not that powerful on the magic land. Even one with a rich supply of resources, it would still take twenty to thirty years to go from an elementary mage to an elementary grand mage! If Bai Han¡¯s teacher knew that not only had he spent less than ten years becoming an intermediate mage, but it had only taken him a little more than a month to evolve into a great mage, she would probably be shocked and probabaly want to settle down on earth. Bai Han grinned like a kid. For a moment, he was grateful to the fire dragon. If he hadn¡¯t been forced to return to earth, he wouldn¡¯t have known that there were so many magic crystals here that could allow him to cultivate so quickly. If everything went well, he should be able to become an advanced grand mage in a year or two. At that time, Bai Han could return to the magic land. The tools he had now were enough for a grand mage, but it would be complicated when he became an ultimate mage. Especially the magic staffs. Till then, Bai Han would have to make a new magic staff. Gu Shishi and Shen Yi also needed magic staff. They could cast spells with magic spells in daily life. However, when it came to fighting, the strength would be reduced by at least half without them. After Bai Han walked out of the room, he finally noticed the vision in the sky. He immediately understood what was going on. Crossing a large realm would cause a vision. Although it wasn¡¯t like the cultivation tribulation where one had to be struck by lightning, there would still be a test. As for what kind of test it was, it was different for everyone. Perhaps it was because he was from the east. He had been struck by lightning when he became a mage from a mage apprentice. He should have been struck by lightning at this point. However, there was no magic power on earth, so this kind of lightning caused by cultivation could not strike down at all. Bai Han smirked at the dark clouds gathering above the villa. When he reached the next realm, he should return to earth. ¡°Master, you¡¯ve become more powerful again?¡± Gu Shishi looked at Bai Han in shock. She knew that Bai Han had isolated himself, but she had not expected him to become so much stronger in just three days. Gu Shishi could not even look him in the eye when Bai Han did not restrain his aura. If this was before she had started cultivating, Gu Shishi would not have been able to sense if Bai Han had become stronger. However, ever since he started cultivating, Gu Shishi could sense the difference in realms. Bai Han nodded. ¡°It¡¯s your time! Good luck with your cultivation!¡± ¡°Yes, master.¡± Gu Shishi clenched her fists tightly and seemed motivated. Gu Shishi had already rearranged her schedule. Other than the events that she had to attend, she spent as much time as possible on cultivation. Resources, popularity, and fame were no longer important to Gu Shishi. Now that she had officially become an elementary mage apprentice, so these things were no longer of much use to her. ¡°By the way,¡± Gu Shishi pursed her lips and said, ¡°Shen Yi is here.¡± This morning, Shen Yi came to visit. After knowing that Bai Han was in isolation for cultivation, she planned to wait for him in the villa. ¡°She has enough purple crystals?¡± ¡°Yep,¡± Gu Shishi responded unhappily. Bai Han didn¡¯t notice her reaction and happily went downstairs. He had thought that he owned a lot of magical crystals, but he had used fifty high-grand magical crystals to become an elementary grand mage. Now, Bai Han only had four high-grade magical crystals left. It wasn¡¯t easy to find high-grade magical crystals. However, if he wanted to cultivate with low-grade and midgrade magical crystals, a huge amount was needed. Chapter 26 - Bai Hans Worries Chapter 26 Bai Han¡¯s Worries ¡°Mr. Bai.¡± Shen Yi stood at the entrance of the villa with a smile on her face. When she saw Bai Han, Shen Yi was stunned for a moment because Bai Han was wearing a white robe. Bai Han immediately saw the open trunk of the car, which was filled with boxes. ¡°Thirty thousand purple crystals.¡± Shen Yi noticed Bai Han¡¯s gaze and smiled. Bai Han nodded. With a wave of his hand, he put away all the purple crystals in the trunk. Although this wasn¡¯t the first time Shen Yi had seen Bai Han¡¯s magic, she was still shocked by the scene. After calming down, Shen Yi could feel her heart pounding. Bai Han was her master now, which meant that she would be able to learn magic in the future. Bai Han brought Shen Yi into the villa, and Gu Shishi reluctantly greeted Shen Yi in the corridor before returning to her room to cultivate. She was Shen Yi¡¯s senior apprentice, so her realm could not be lower than Shen Yi¡¯s. However, even in the magic land, Shen Yi could be considered a very talented cultivator. Bai Han had also given Shen Yi Magic for Beginners and guided her to start her cultivation. Unlike Gu Shishi, who had needed a Magic-gathering Seal to be able to feel the magic power, Shen Yi had started only with her talent and some low-grade magic crystals. Bai Han was extremely happy with Shen Yi¡¯s smooth process. On the contrary, Gu Shishi was panicking. She also finally understood that Bai Han had personally asked Shen Yi if she wanted to learn magic because she was very talented. Out of desperation, Gu Shishi freed up more time and spent more time on her cultivation. Bai Han didn¡¯t stop her, for he knew hard work could make up for it. Gu Shishi¡¯s talent was too poor. If she wanted to make progress, she would need to spend a lot of time on cultivation and achieve a breakthrough through efforts. After arranging the cultivation of his two disciples, Bai Han fell into a dilemma. He had already advanced into the grand mage realm, but as an elementary grand mage, he still did not have the ability to protect himself on the magic land. Those in the grand mage realm and above¡¯s cultivating methods or the use of magic were different from mage apprentices and mages¡¯. A grand mage could not improve by simply absorbing magic power for cultivation but by elemental magic power. Magic power had its own attributes. However, those below the grand mage realm did not have the ability to control elemental magic, so they did not need to learn how to use it. However, if Bai Han continued to cultivate as a grand mage, he would need to transform the magic absorbed into the purest form. In other words, he had to use magic power without the elemental attribute. If it were on the magic land, it would take a lot of effort to convert the absorbed magic power into pure magic power. The magic in the air contained elements. Below the grand mage realm, there was no need to use elemental magic, so it didn¡¯t matter if the magic in the body was mixed with various elements. However, a grand mage needed to use elemental magic. If the magic in the body was not pure but mixed with various attributes before the transformation, it would cause fatal damage. There were a total of five elemental attributes. Among these five attributes, some matched while others countered each other. The opposing elemental magic was stored in the body of a grand mage. Once the grand mage used the elemental magic, these opposing elemental magic would directly fight in the grand mage¡¯s body. It would only end when the host¡¯s body exploded and died. Bai Han wasn¡¯t worried about this. Ever since he came to earth, he had been using magic crystals to cultivate. Although it was expensive to use magic crystals for cultivation, the benefits were obvious. The magic power contained in the magic crystal was the purest without any elemental attributes, so Bai Han had nothing to be afraid of. However, after becoming a grand mage, if he wanted to use elemental magic, he had to turn the pure magic in his body into the required. elemental magic. The transformation process required Decomposition and Synthesis Magic Potion. Not only that, when grand mages cultivated, they also needed elemental gemstones of five attributes and elemental seals. This was why all grand mages on the magic land were either from noble families or had a high social status. Elemental gemstones and elemental seals were all consumables. Although the elemental gemstones and elemental seals used for cultivation could generally activate for three months, the evolving process of a grand mage could last for several decades. Every decade would consume countless elemental gemstones and elemental seals. Although the materials to make the elemental seals were expensive, it wasn¡¯t difficult to find them. However, elemental gemstones were extremely rare. On the magic land, only the nobles have access to them. If Bai Han wanted to continue cultivating, he needed Decomposition and Synthesis Magic Potion, elemental gemstones, and elemental seals. He went through his small storage room. He realized that none of these items were in the things he had taken from Glacier Academy¡¯s treasure vault! ¡°Fu*k!¡± he thought. If he couldn¡¯t find these three things on earth, did that mean he had to return to the magic continent? An elementary grand mage who didn¡¯t know how to use elemental magic was slightly more powerful than a mage. Once he met a great of the same realm who could use mage elemental magic, Bai Han would have no chance of surviving. Bai Han scratched his face in distress. What should he do? After some thought, Bai Han called Gu Guofu. Bai Han had most of the ingredients to form the Decomposition and Synthesis Magic Potion, and he had plenty of them. However, he still lacked the most crucial ingredient, Phoenix Plant. As for elemental seals, Bai Han also had the materials to make them. If he wanted to make sure of the quality, he would need elemental gemstones. Unfortunately, Bai Han didn¡¯t have a single elemental gemstone. ¡°Sir. Gu.¡± ¡°I am afraid I will need your help to find a few things.¡± After Sir. Gu picked up the phone, Bai Han immediately cut to the point. ¡°Mr. Bai, tell me.¡± Gu Guofu knew what he should do. ¡°I need gold, green, red, yellow, and blue gemstones or jades. They need to have fine, purer, and brighter color.¡± Bai Han described the appearance of the elemental gemstones. Elemental gemstones looked similar to ordinary gemstones or jade, but their color was very even, transparent, and beautiful. ¡°By the way, I don¡¯t need purple crystals, ruby pendants, and red emeralds anymore,¡± Bai Han reminded Gu Guofu. He was sure that these three items were low-grade, midgrade, and high-grade magic crystals. The most important thing now was to find elemental gemstones, so he had to spend his money wisely. Chapter 27 - The Elemental Gemstone Chapter 27 The Elemental Gemstone Phoenix Plant was a type of shrub plant with yellow flowers. Only the flowers of the Phoenix Plant could be used as the material of the Decomposition and Synthesis Magic Potion. After Bai Han described the plant, Gu Guofu, who had been silent all this while, finally responded, ¡°Mr. Bai, this plant sounds like Golden Flower Tea.¡± ¡°Golden Flower Tea?¡± ¡°Yes. I¡¯ll send you a picture of Golden Flower Tea. If that¡¯s what you are looking for, I¡¯ll send someone to find it.¡± ¡°Sure!¡± Bai Han was overjoyed. After hanging up, Bai Han received a photo from Gu Guofu on his phone. Bai Han was thrilled when he saw the plant in the picture. It was Golden Flower Tea! Phoenix Plant in the magic land was the Golden Flower Tea on earth! ¡°Sir. Gu, this is the plant.¡± Bai Han typed. ¡°Okay, Mr. Bai, leave it to me. I¡¯ll do my best to find it.¡± Gu Guofu replied. ¡°I need a large amount of Golden Flower Tea. The more, the better.¡± Bai Han sent. Gu Guofu was speechless. Gu Guofu saw Bai Han¡¯s last message and found himself in trouble now. Golden Flower Tea was rare, and Mr. Bai needed a large amount of it. It was a challenging task. Bai Han, who was completely unaware of Gu Guofu¡¯s concern, finally heaved a sigh of relief. He was pleased to finally find Phoenix Plant. The scariest thing was that without any clues, everything could be chaotic. For the entire week after that, Gu Guofu continuously sent various gemstones to the villa. There were almost all kinds of colors, and Bai Han could see different gemstones every day. Unfortunately, none of them contained magic power. Ding dong! Bai Han jumped up from the bed and tidied up his slightly messy white robe. ¡°Come in.¡± ¡°Master.¡± Shen Yi¡¯s bright and beautiful face appeared at the door. ¡°Shen Yi, what brings you here?¡± Bai Han could only think about elemental gemstones now, so even such a stunning face didn¡¯t catch his attention. What he was worried about wasn¡¯t more than just the elemental gemstones. Although he had some news about Golden Flower Tea, it was a pity that the amount wasn¡¯t enough. 11 Mr. Le Goff contacted me last night, saying that he a top-tier emerald. He wants to know if you are interested in it.¡± Bai Han¡¯s eyes brightened, and he arrived at the door right away. ¡°What¡¯s the color?¡± ¡°They are green emeralds. Mr. Le Goff said so.¡± Green! It was the same color as wood elemental gemstones! Bai Han looked way more excited. ¡°Where is Mr. Le Goff? When are we meeting him?¡± Shen Yi was stunned by Bai Han¡¯s cheerful tone, but she quickly regained her senses. ¡°Mr. Le Goff is the old French noble selling you fifty-four red emeralds last time. He said that if you were interested, you¡¯d better go to see him as soon as possible. There are other potential buyers.¡± Bai Han was nervous. Although he was not sure if it was a wood elemental gemstone, it was better to be safe than sorry. ¡°Alright, tell Mr. Le Goff that I¡¯ll be there tonight.¡± ¡°Is it that urgent?¡± Shen Yi was confused. ¡°Is this gemstone very important? ¡± ¡°Maybe, but we never know.¡± Bai Han immediately called Gu Guofu and asked him to book the earliest flight to Paris. Two minutes later, Gu Guofu called him back. ¡°Mr. Bai, I¡¯ve already booked the flight for you. The plane will take off in an hour and ten minutes. Mr. Bai, you need to head to the airport in the north of the city immediately.¡± So Bai Han¡¯s Villa was in the south of the city, Gu Guofu hesitated before booking the flight. It would take at least two hours to get from Bai Han¡¯s villa to the airport. Bai Han needed to arrive at the airport an hour earlier, so he might not be able to catch the plane. However, after thinking about it, Gu Guofu decided to book both the first and the coming flight for this trip. This was to prevent Bai Han from missing his flight and losing his ticket for the next one. ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Bai Han hung up the phone, took out his id and passport, and directly used Invisibility Spell and Flying Spell. It only took him five minutes to get to the airport in the north of the city. Even when Bai Han got on the plane, he still looked uneasy. Gu Guofu had almost bought all the gemstones and jades of these five colors on the market and sent them to his villa. If he couldn¡¯t find any elemental gemstone, he would have no choice but take the risk and return to the magic land. Apparently, this was the last option. He could only hope that the top-tier emerald Mr. Le Goff was talking about was a wood elemental gem. After getting off the plane, Bai Han did not inform Mr. Le Goff to come and pick him up. Instead, he used the map on his phone to check the detailed route and came to a corner with no one. He used Flying Spell and Invisibility Spell to arrive at Mr. Le Goff¡¯s castle in the blink of an eye. Mr. Le Goff was so anxious that he kept looking at the gate of the castle. He would check the last room of the castle. Just four hours ago, he received a call from Shen Yi and found out that Bai Han was already on his way here. Mr. Le Goff couldn¡¯t sit still at all during these four hours. He kept looking at the castle gate, hoping to see Bai Han appear in the next moment. Especially now that the sky was getting darker and darker, Mr. Le Goff¡¯s looked way more worried and stressed. ¡°Oh! Oh my god! Why isn¡¯t he here yet!¡± ¡°Hello, Mr. Le Goff.¡± Just as Mr. Le Goff was pacing back and forth in front of the window, a voice suddenly came from behind. ¡°Ah-!¡± Mr. Le Goff was shocked and turned around stiffly. ¡°Where is the top-tier emerald you mentioned?¡± Bai Han was also anxious. As soon as he arrived at Mr. Le Goff¡¯s Castle, he asked directly. ¡°Oh! Bai!¡± Mr. Le Goff¡¯s nervousness turned into the excitement the moment he saw Bai Han. ¡°It¡¯s great to see you!¡± He immediately gave Bai Han a huge hug. He seemed awkward and pushed Mr. Le Goff away. ¡°Where¡¯s the emerald? ¡± ¡°It¡¯s here. Bai, please follow me!¡± Mr. Le Goff immediately pulled Bai Han and walked into the last room of the villa. Mr. Le Goff was even more anxious than Bai Han. Bai Han followed Mr. Le Goff almost all the way to the end of the corridor inside the castle. After opening the door, the room in front of him was covered with infrared rays. In the middle of the infrared rays, there was a glass display case with a piece of emerald inside. Even before he got close, Bai Han could already feel the waves of elemental magic coming from the glass display case. Bai Han was overwhelmed. Elemental gemstone! Bai Han could instantly confirm that it was an elemental gemstone inside! A wood element gemstone! Mr. Le Goff aimed his eyes at a lock in the room, and the infrared rays that filled the room disappeared instantly. Without waiting for Mr. Le Goff to speak, Bai Han had already teleported to the front of the glass display case. Mr. Le Goff saw this scene and said in a daze, ¡°Oh my God!¡± How could a human move this fast? Mr. Le Goff was not afraid. Instead, he even heaved a sigh of relief. It would be a good thing if Bai had extraordinary power. Bai Han had no idea what Mr. Le Goff was thinking and stared at the emerald in the glass display case with a passionate look. He had already recognized the emerald. Chapter 28 - Sunrise Ruby Chapter 28 Sunrise Ruby It was indeed a top-tier emerald. It was an extremely rare gold-threaded emerald. What was even rarer than its type was the size. It was actually the size of two human fists! Bai Han had never heard of such a large elemental gemstone on the magic land. It wasn¡¯t just the size. This elemental gemstone was extremely pure, and it was a top-tier elemental gemstone! If all five elemental gemstones had such a level of purity, his cultivation speed would be way faster! ¡°Mr. Le Goff, how much is this emerald?¡± Bai Han wished he could own this piece of emerald immediately. ¡°Bai, are you sure you want this?¡± Mr. Le Goff felt a little guilty. After struggling for a long time, he still reminded Bai Han, ¡°this piece of gold-thread emerald is rare and priceless. I got it by accident. If you want to buy it, you have to make sure you can protect it yourself. Many people are eyeing this beauty.¡± Hearing this, Bai Han immediately understood why Mr. Le Goff was so strange and anxious. Too many people were after this emerald. Unlike China, guns were not banned in other countries. The underworld held a lot of guns and ammunition in countries like this. If this piece of emerald was targeted, Mr. Le Goff, an old noble who only had money but no weapon, would not be able to keep it. He might even lose his life because of this emerald. ¡°You are telling me this emerald is indeed very dangerous, right?¡± Bai Han squinted. Bai Han sighed and looked at the gold-threaded emerald helplessly as if he was ready to give up. ¡°Oh!¡± Mr. Le Goff was shocked and quickly pulled Bai Han. ¡°Wait a minute! Your speed just now is not something that ordinary people can achieve. You must have the ability to protect yourself, right?¡± Mr. Le Goff was extremely anxious, and he even regretted warning Bai Han. If Bai Han wasn¡¯t willing to buy this piece of Imperial emerald, he would be in trouble! Many forces in the underworld had their eyes on this emerald. No matter who Mr. Le Goff handed it to, he would offend the others. There was no way for him to prevent this situation, even if he was willing to give up on this emerald. The only thing he could do was to find a buyer and sell it. He was a businessman, so it was logical to sell the gemstone to someone. The mafia might give him a hard time, but they would not kill him. However, the buyer who bought the emerald would be in great danger. Bai Han furrowed his brows but didn¡¯t say anything. Mr. Le Goff saw his expression and was even more anxious. ¡°Bai! You¡­ you can have it at half of the price!¡± ¡°I do have the ability to protect myself, but this matter is more dangerous and troublesome for me. ¡°Oh no!¡± Mr. Le Goff held his head, knowing Bai Han was his only hope. ¡°You can have it at half of the price and even choose an item from my collection,¡± he said in despair. ¡°Deal!¡± Bai Han instantly agreed. Mr. Le Goff finally calmed down. ¡°You are too smart for me,¡± he let go of Bai Han¡¯s arm, heaved a sigh of relief, and said helplessly. ¡°No, Mr. Le Goff, this emerald can seriously bring me into trouble.¡± Bai Han smiled. Mr. Le Goff shrugged and did not deny it. If it wasn¡¯t for the potential danger, he wouldn¡¯t have sold this emerald to Bai Han at such a low price. However, what he didn¡¯t know was that the mafia might kill others, but Bai Han could deal with them with a few magic spells. Bai Han did not hide his power anymore. When Mr. Le Goff opened the glass display case, he put away the gold-threaded emerald immediately. Mr. Le Goff collected a lot of emeralds, and Bai Han hoped to find more elemental gemstones. Mr. Le Goff¡¯s eyes stared straight at him. ¡°This is magic.¡± Bai Han smiled and did not say anything. His reaction didn¡¯t bother Mr. Le Goff. Instead, he was grateful that Bai Han had dealt with this hot potato and saved his life. Bai Han followed Mr. Le Goff to his collection room. The dazzling emeralds almost made Bai Han dazzled. ¡°This is my emerald collection room.¡± Mr. Le Goff pointed to the right side, which was separated in half from the middle. ¡°The gemstones are there.¡± ¡°I really like these gemstones and emeralds. They¡¯re my babies.¡± ¡°They are perfect. This is amazing.¡± Bai Han took a deep breath and nodded. Not only were they beautiful, but they also contained magic power. How could Bai Han not fancy these rare crystals on the magic land? Bai Han could feel the presence of magic power in this room. He was just not sure which gemstone was emitting the magic power. However, Bai Han had already confirmed that it was from a fire elemental gemstone. Very quickly, Bai Han¡¯s gaze locked onto a ruby ring. The fire elemental magic power came from the ruby inlaid in the ring. It was extremely pure, and it was also a top-tier elemental gemstone. Mr. Le Goff followed Bai Han¡¯s sight, saw the ring, and revealed a heartbroken expression. He didn¡¯t think that Bai Han¡¯s eyes would be so sharp that he would choose this ring right away. ¡°This is Sunrise Ruby. Look at her.¡± Mr. Le Goff carefully took off the Ruby ring with his gloves and touched the gemstone on the top reluctantly. The color saturation of the gemstone was very high. Bai Han could not see any flaws, and even the cutting was perfect. Mr. Le Goff raised the ruby ring. Under the light, it looked even more dazzling. ¡°This is the color of a pigeon¡¯s blood. It¡¯s so beautiful. It¡¯s a top-tier ruby. The face-cutting technique is also the best in the world,¡± he exclaimed in admiration. Bai Han¡¯s gaze followed the ruby in Mr. Le Goff¡¯s hand. ¡°That¡¯s it. I want this ring.¡± Mr. Le Goff was very reluctant, but the most important thing for a businessman was to keep his word. He had already promised Bai Han. ¡°This is my favorite collection. I don¡¯t want to say goodbye to this ring, but I already promised you.¡± Mr. Le Goff placed the ring in Bai Han¡¯s palm. ¡°It¡¯s yours, Bai. I hope you will take good care of it.¡± Bai Han put the ring away, and his lips curled into a smile. ¡°Mr. Le Goff, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll let it shine. In return, I will make sure the mafias won¡¯t come to find trouble with you anymore.¡± Whether it was the matter of gold-threaded emerald or the ruby ring, Mr. Le Goff could have kept these things from him. However, he had chosen to be honest. Moreover, he had sold it to him at a very favorable price. ¡°I hope so. As for the gold-threaded emerald, Bai, you only need to give me five hundred million.¡± Mr. Le Goff smiled bitterly. ¡°Oh, RMB.¡± Bai Han took out a credit card and handed it to Mr. Le Goff. ¡°here are six hundred million in this account, and it¡¯s all yours.¡± This card was the money that Lin Hong had paid him for Youth Magic Potion and Magical Life Potion. Recently, Bai Han asked Gu Guofu to help him buy gemstones and spent a large sum of money. Chapter 29 - Leave Him Alone Chapter 29 Leave Him Alone ¡°Oh, sure.¡± Mr. Le Goff happily took the credit card. ¡°You can let people know that I am the new owner of the emerald,¡± Bai Han suddenly said. ¡°Ah?¡± Mr. Le Goff was dumbfounded. ¡°Bai, this¡­¡± ¡°Just do as I say,¡± Bai Han said and directly took off the synchronous translator from his ear. Mr. Le Goff didn¡¯t understand Chinese, and Bai Han didn¡¯t understand French. They both had brought along a synchronous translator. Now that Bai Han had taken it off, so neither of them could understand the other. Bai Han did not give Mr. Le Goff any time or opportunity to hesitate. ¡°Alright,¡± Mr. Le Goff had no choice but agreed with Bai Han. Not only that, after Mr. Le Goff spread the news, Bai Han also asked him to get him a driver to take him to the airport. ¡°Bai!¡± Mr. Le Goff strongly disagreed. However, Bai Han ignored him. In the end, Bai Han still hopped into Mr. Le Goff¡¯s car. Le Goff was a big family that collected gemstones and emeralds, and his collection and contacts were way more than the Gu family. It was a good thing for Bai Han to make friends with such a person. The elemental gemstone this time was a good example. If it weren¡¯t for Mr. Le Goff, Bai Han really wouldn¡¯t have been able to collect two types of elemental gemstones at once. The driver was Mr. Le Goff¡¯s secretary. He had realized something was up, so his hands were shaking. Suddenly, something happened! A few cars whizzed over from behind! They had caught Bai Han¡¯s car from the left and right! Immediately after that, three cars came from the other two roads and blocked the road in front of them. ¡°Mr. Bai!¡± The secretary understood Chinese. ¡°There¡¯s a car behind us too! We¡¯ve been surrounded!¡± The secretary¡¯s hands were shaking, and he didn¡¯t know if he should stop the car. He saw that everyone in the car was weaponed! ¡°Stop the car,¡± Bai Han said calmly. Almost as soon as Bai Han¡¯s voice fell, the secretary instantly stopped the car. More than ten cars stopped and surrounded the one Bai Han was in. After the secretary pulled the brake, the doors of these cars all opened. All the people who got off the car were muscular foreigners. Moreover, they even had submachine guns in their hands! ¡°Stay in the car.¡± After Bai Han gave the instruction, he opened the car door and got out. The secretary wanted to say something, but he shrank back in fear. ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid?¡± More than twenty burly men opened up a path, and youth walked out. The young had a sharp facial features and was rather good-looking. However, the scar that ran through his face made him look a little ferocious. The young man looked at Bai Han with interest. ¡°There¡¯s nothing to be afraid of.¡± Bai Han coldly swept his gaze over the guns in their hands, and finally, his gaze fell on the young man¡¯s face. ¡°You can call me Moff,¡± The young man revealed a smile of interest. Moff¡¯s smile grew brighter when he saw Bai Han¡¯s emotionless face. Seeing this many burly men with submachine guns, noticing the hideous scars on his face, and hearing his name, Bai Han was still calm and not afraid at all. This was the first time Moff met someone like Bai Han. ¡°He¡¯s interesting!¡± Moff thought. Moff squinted and smiled. ¡°You¡¯re Bai Han, right?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t have much time to check your background. After all, once you return to your country, it would be difficult to find you.¡¯ Moff then took a submachine gun from the big guy beside him. ¡°You should know why I¡¯m looking for you. If you want to go back home in one piece, hand over the thing. I won¡¯t kill you.¡± Bai Han raised his eyes. ¡°What if I don¡¯t want to?¡± As soon as Bai Han finished speaking, everyone raised their submachine guns and aimed at him. ¡°Plata o plomo?¡± Bai Han smiled faintly. ¡°I want both.¡± Just as Moff¡¯s expression changed, a white light flashed in Bai Han¡¯s Hand. Bai Han gripped his magic staff and loudly chanted a magic spell. ¡°Vera Verto¡­ Transformation!!¡± Bai Han waved his magic staff, and several white lights emitted from it, falling on the men. All the burly men had turned into dogs! The submachine guns in their hands had turned into bones, and they were grabbing onto them with their claws. Moff¡¯s face paled in shock. He looked at the bone in his hand and quickly threw it away. He was the only one who had not been turned into a dog. ¡°Who are you?¡± Moff took a few steps back with fear on his face and was no longer smug as earlier. When he saw Bai Han¡¯s white robe, he thought that this person liked cosplay. It seemed that he couldn¡¯t have been wrong! ¡°You are a mage, a mage.¡± Moff was so scared that he suddenly felt weak and knelt on the ground. The burly man who had turned into a dog barked anxiously. Woof woof! The secretary in the car was dumbfounded. Bai Han was wearing a white magician¡¯s robe and holding a magic staff in his hand, his expression indifferent. He was exactly the same as mages in legend. ¡°I don¡¯t want it anymore! I don¡¯t want the emerald anymore! Please let me go!¡± Moff kneeled on the ground and kept kowtowing to Bai Han. Bai Han put down his magic staff and looked at Moff coldly. The next second, Moff suddenly jumped up and ran away! Bai Han didn¡¯t stop him but immediately cast a Sealing Spell. Immediately after, Moff was blocked by an invisible wall before he could even get far. No matter which direction he ran in, he could not escape. Moff fell to the ground desperately. ¡°It was my bad! I am sorry!¡± He had never expected to mess with a mage, for he was just here for a piece of gold-threaded emerald. Mages were supposed to be in fantasy, right? ¡°Don¡¯t you try to get close to Mr. Le Goff.¡± ¡°Sure, sure, sure!¡± Moff hurriedly nodded. ¡°I promise!¡± ¡°Tell others that I will find whoever gets close to Mr. Le Goff.¡± Moff was speechless. Bai Han raised the magic staff in his hand. Moff gritted his teeth and agreed, ¡°Alright! He was willing to do anything as long as he could live! Only then did Bai Han put away the magic staff. ¡°Sir, I wonder if they¡­¡± Moff kneeled on the ground and carefully glanced at the dogs around him. ¡°They will turn back into humans in three days,¡± Bai Han said with an indifferent expression, opened the car door, and got into the car again. He had cast the spell with his magic staff, so it was different from the low-grade magic before. These men wouldn¡¯t return to normal within three days. ¡°Safe trip, sir!¡± Moff said in a flattering manner. ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± Bai Han reminded the secretary, who was stunned in his seat. ¡°Yes! Let¡¯s go!¡± The secretary came to his senses and immediately started the car. Watching the car drive away, Moff finally got up from the ground. The dogs were still barking. ¡°Shut up!¡± Moff shouted. The surroundings immediately fell silent. He made a phone call impatiently. ¡°Get someone to come over! We have to bring some dogs back!¡± He didn¡¯t care about the reaction of the person on the other end of the phone and hung up. ¡°Shut up!¡± Moff cursed as he looked at the dogs on the ground. Chapter 30 - The Golden Flower Tea Field Chapter 30 The Golden Flower Tea Field After Bai Han arrived at the airport, he took an overnight flight and went back to his villa. The secretary who had sent Bai Han to the airport knocked on the castle door excitedly and flusteredly. Mr. Le Goff was finally able to have a good sleep after solving the hot potato. However, someone woke him up right away. ¡°What happened?¡± Seeing that it was the secretary who sent Bai Han to the airport, Mr. Le Goff turned stressed and wide awake away. Could it be that something had happened to Bai Han? Mr. Le Goff had thought that China, where Bai Han was, was relatively safe. If the mafias wanted to do anything Bai Han, it would be more complicated and challenging for them. At the very least, they couldn¡¯t run riot as they were here. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me they already received the news and made a move!¡± Mr. Le Goff thought. ¡°We met Moff on the way!¡± The secretary looked shocked and fearful. Mr. Le Goff almost blacked out when he heard the name. Moff had just inherited the largest gang in the underworld not long ago! ¡°Oh no! Oh my God! Moff found Bai Han, so it means¡­ it means¡­¡± Mr. Le Goff thought. Mr. Le Goff closed his eyes, thinking there was a glimmer of hope. ¡°How is Mr. Bai now? ¡± Mr. Bai is already on the plane. At the mention of Bai Han, the secretary became much more respectful. It was as if it was a sacred name. Mr. Le Goff, who was ready to hear about Bai Han¡¯s death, suddenly felt the sadness and guilt in his heart disappear. ¡°What?¡± Mr. Le Goff suddenly opened his eyes and said, ¡°Are you sure? Bai is already on the plane?¡± ¡°Moff didn¡¯t do anything to him? Could it be that Bai paid him?¡± he thought. ¡°He gave that emerald to Moff?¡± ¡°No!¡± The secretary recalled the scene just now, and he turned emotional. There was even excitement on his face. ¡°Mr. Bai kicked Moff¡¯s ass! ¡°What?¡± Mr. Le Goff exclaimed. He couldn¡¯t believe what he had heard. Moff? How could he not know Moff¡¯s ability? He wasn¡¯t afraid of anything, and he was cruel, vicious, and cunning. Bai looked like a gentle and mild-mannered young man, but how had he scared away Moff and his lackeys? ¡°It¡¯s true! Mr. Bai is an extraordinary person. He is a mage!¡± Mr. Le Goff suddenly laughed. ¡°Oh, you gotta be kidding me.¡± A mage? How could there really be a mage in this world? ¡°Mr. Le Goff, it¡¯s true!¡± The secretary knew Mr. Le Goff didn¡¯t believe his words, so he described the scene vividly. Mr. Le Goff found what had happened was unbelievable and impossible. However, the secretary had told him every detail of the story, so he shouldn¡¯t be lying. Most importantly, it came to Mr. Le Goff¡¯s mind that Bai Han had waved his hand to send the gold-threaded emerald and Sunrise Ruby to somewhere mysterious. ¡°Could it be that Bai is really a mage?¡± ¡°It¡¯s true!¡± The secretary exclaimed in excitement, ¡°all of Moff¡¯s men have been turned into dogs. The submachine guns in their hands have also been turned into bones! Mr. Bai also told them not to get close to you. Mr. Le Goff was both shocked and pleased. ¡°That¡¯s nice of him.¡± Bai Han had no idea what had happened at Mr. Le Goff¡¯s place. After returning to the villa, Bai Han couldn¡¯t wait to take out the two elemental gemstones. He was smiling ear to ear. Such a large wood elemental gemstone could be used for two or three years. As for this fire elemental gemstone, it could be used for more than half a year despite its size. He only needed three types of elemental gemstones and Phoenix Plant. Once he had all of them, he would be able to start his cultivation as a grand mage. Bai Han was thrilled, and he couldn¡¯t wait to test the speed of his cultivation as a grand mage on earth. There was more good news coming to him. ¡°Mr. Bai.¡± Gu Guofu called. ¡°We have some information about Golden Flower Tea.¡± Decomposition and Synthesis Magic Potion required a large amount of Golden Flower Tea, and its fragrance of it had to be extracted. Bai Han needed fresh Golden Flower tea leaves that had not been picked yet. Furthermore, it was difficult to plant Golden Flower Tea, and the wild ones could not be moved. It was not easy to find a large amount of Golden Flower Tea. ¡°I found someone owning a large Golden Flower Tea field. His family has planted Golden Flower Tea for generations, and the quality is excellent.¡± Gu Guofu had already investigated thoroughly. ¡°However, he doesn¡¯t care about the field because he only wants to make a movie. Now, he wants to sell these Golden Flower Tea leaves in exchange for money to make a movie.¡± ¡°Mr. Bai, do you want to go and take a look?¡± Bai Han was cheerful. Had His family planted Golden Flower Tea for generations? Wonderful! He would need more than a bottle of Decomposition and Synthesis Magic Potion. It would be very useful to take a bottle of fine Decomposition and Synthesis Magic Potion during the training for the improvement of a grand mage¡¯s strength. Decomposition and Synthesis Magic Potion could help a mage to transform pure magic power into elemental magic power. The higher the quality of the Decomposition and Synthesis Magic Potion, the faster the conversion and the purer the power could be. In other words, mages who had a long-term supply of Decomposition and Synthesis Magic Potions would be more powerful when using elemental magic. This power would continue to spread as time passed and their levels increased. ¡°Please let him know that I want to visit his Golden Flower Tea field and discuss it with him.¡± His family had planted Golden Flower Tea for generations, so they must have inherited the method. Bai Han asked Gu Guofu to contact Chu Xiao as soon as possible. Not only was Bai Han anxious, but so as Chu Xiao. Bai Han was in a hurry to get the Golden Flower Tea, while Chu Xiao wanted the funds. The two clicked and immediately arranged to meet the next day. When Bai Han arrived at the Golden Flower Tea field, his eyes widened. The raw materials of Decomposition and Synthesis Magic Potion that he had could only be of medium quality, while these Phoenix Plants were all top-grade ones. Bai Han couldn¡¯t help but reach out and touch a golden flower. The flower petals in his hand were surging with magic power. ¡°Are you¡­ Mr. Bai?¡± A hesitant voice came to him. Bai Han looked in the direction of the voice. It was a middle-aged man wearing a short-sleeved shirt and big pants. His eyes were dark, and he had not shaved his beard. ¡°You are the owner of this Golden Flower Tea field?¡± Chu Xiao knew who Bai Han was. ¡°That¡¯s right! Mr. Bai, you¡¯re finally here!¡± Chu Xiao grinned and reached out to shake Bai Han¡¯s hand. Beside him, Gu Guofu discreetly blocked Chu Xiao¡¯s outstretched hand and politely said to Bai Han, ¡°Mr. Bai, what do you think? This Golden Flower Tea field is around five acres.¡¯ It was almost impossible to see the end of the garden. ¡°That¡¯s enough,¡± Bai Han smiled in joy. ¡°Do these people know how to take care of the Golden Flower Tea?¡± Seeing that Bai Han was satisfied, Chu Xiao quickly said, ¡°Of course. They¡¯re all very experienced, and many of their families have worked here for generations. Chapter 31 - Its Nothing for Him Chapter 31 It¡¯s Nothing for Him ¡°Our family has a unique way of growing Golden Flower Tea, and the quality is the best of the best! Chu Xiao squeezed his hands excitedly. ¡°Mr. Bai, what do you think?¡± He met Chu Xiao¡¯s eager gaze. ¡°I hope that after I buy the field, you can continue to take care of the field with your family¡¯s methods.¡± Since this method was passed down from Chu Xiao¡¯s family, Bai Han did not ask for more details. ¡°I can pay you extra.¡± Chu Xiao was a little hesitant, for he would spend time filming his movie. If he also needed to take care of the field, it would undoubtedly consume a lot of his energy.¡± ¡°The Gu family has some connections in the entertainment industry. As long as you agree, we can introduce you to some investors and actors,¡± Gu Guofu suddenly said. Since Bai Han wanted this Golden Flower Tea field to keep working, he had to help. Furthermore, Gu Guofu thought Golden Flower Tea and the gemstones he had found might have something to do with cultivation. His granddaughter had to cultivate now, so it would be beneficial for the Gu family if they could keep planting the Golden Flower Tea. Chu Xiao was tempted. Bai Han noticed the change in Chu Xiao¡¯s expression. ¡°How much do you need for your movie?¡± ¡°Erm, about two hundred million,¡± Chu Xiao scratched his head and said awkwardly. He wasn¡¯t a famous director and had only shot documentaries in the past. Therefore, no one was willing to invest in his new project. He had no choice but to sell the Golden Flower Tea field. Although he couldn¡¯t gather two hundred million, it was already a large portion of the funds. ¡°Mr. Bai, I¡¯m not asking for a high price. Just one hundred million, and this Golden Flower Tea field is yours. After the Golden Flower Tea ripened, it could be sold for more than a hundred million. However, Chu Xiao¡¯s movie couldn¡¯t wait any longer, for he wanted to attend an international film festival. If he didn¡¯t start shooting now, he wouldn¡¯t be able to make it to the film festival in time and might lose the chance to be nominated. Two hundred million? ¡°As long as you continue to help me take care of the Golden Flower Tea field, ¡°Bai Han said directly, ¡°I can give you two hundred million for your film, and I won¡¯t interfere with your filming project.¡± After some thought, Bai Han added, ¡°In fact, I can even invest in your future movies so that you don¡¯t have to worry about money.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Chu Xiao gasped, and his eyes widened. ¡°This is my first time shooting a movie. Aren¡¯t you afraid to lose money?¡¯ This was two hundred million Yuan! Bai Han gave him a strange look. ¡°It¡¯s just two hundred million, right? It¡¯s fine if it doesn¡¯t work. ¡± Bai Han wouldn¡¯t care even if Chu Xiao needed a few hundred million more. A bottle of Youth Magic Potion could be sold for a billion. If those rich people needed him to treat any illness, he could get another one or two billion at any time. A few hundred million was not even enough for him to buy many gemstones. Chu Xiao took a deep breath again, his expression blank. ¡°Who is Mr. Bai? Even Sir. Gu was working for him. A few hundred million was actually nothing for him? Had he just said that he didn¡¯t mind losing the money? It was as if these hundreds of millions were only a few dollars for him. In reality, a few hundred million and a few dollars did not make much of a difference in Bai Han¡¯s eyes. ¡°So? What do you say?¡± Bai Han asked again. This was related to the quantity and quality of his future supply of Decomposition and Synthesis Magic Potion, so he would feel more assured if he could set the deal now. ¡°Of course! Of course!¡± Chu Xiao wasn¡¯t an idiot, so he wouldn¡¯t reject Bai Han¡¯s proposal. He would just need to spend time and energy on the Golden Flower Tea field, right? It was a great deal for him! He didn¡¯t have to worry about funds for new movies anymore. This was something that many directors dreamed of. Not to mention, Bai Han didn¡¯t seem to care about the entertainment industry and had even made it clear that he wouldn¡¯t interfere with his filming project. ¡°Should we prepare the contract now? I can sign it at any time,¡± Chu Xiao said impatiently. He wanted to draft the contract and sign it immediately. He was worried that Bai Han would regret it after a while. After all, the money Bai Han earned from buying the Golden Flower Tea field might not even be as much as the money invested in a movie. It would be fine if he made a profit. However, Bai Han would lose all his money if his movie wasn¡¯t popular. Bai Han glanced at Gu Guofu, who then understood and said respectfully, ¡°I¡¯ll get someone to draft the contract immediately.¡± These words made Chu Xiao confused. Sir. Gu wasn¡¯t not only working for Mr. Bai, but he also respected this young man a lot. Could it be that Bai Han was the heir to some elite family? However, he had never heard of any of the top rich families with the surname Bai. Chu Xiao tried to calm down and followed behind Bai Han, wanting to impress his new investor. No matter where Bad Han was from, it was sure that he was someone prominent. Chu Xiao would like to keep this investor. Unfortunately, Bai Han had no intention of spending his time and energy on these matters. He let Gu Guofu deal with everything and then left. Meanwhile, Chu Xiao wished that he could have stayed longer. Bai Han, who had just returned to the villa, noticed that something was wrong the moment he opened the door. What was happening? Shen Yi was cultivating downstairs, and Gu Shishi disappeared. ¡°Where¡¯s Shishi?¡± ¡°She should be cultivating in her room,¡± Shen Yi replied with a smile. Bai Han nodded and walked to his room. After tilting his head to check Gu Shishi¡¯s shut door, he hesitated for a moment but still knocked on it. Usually, Shishi would either be cultivating in her room with the door open or downstairs. She closed her door and stayed in her room. Moreover, the atmosphere in the villa was somewhat strange. Knock! Knock! ¡°Shishi.¡± There was a rustling sound from the room, and soon, the door was opened. Gu Shishi stuck her head out. ¡°Master.¡± ¡°Are you cultivating?¡± Bai Han asked and soon found that something was up. Gu Shishi¡¯s eyes turned red. ¡°What happened?¡± Bai Han frowned. ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Gu Shishi lowered her head and mumbled. Shen Yi, who was downstairs, noticed the situation and asked with concern, ¡°Senior apprentice, are you alright? This kind of thing is very common in the entertainment industry, so don¡¯t take it to heart. When it¡¯s over, no one will remember with time.¡± Bai Han¡¯s expression turned upset. ¡°Shishi, what happened exactly? I remember telling you that your business is my business.¡± ¡°I¡­¡± Gu Shishi bit her lip. ¡°Some time ago, I was shooting a movie, and I hung out with the male lead to rehearse. The scene the next evening was on a beach and more difficult to shoot, so we had to pay attention to the weather and beach conditions. We were worried the condition would affect the progress of the shooting, and that was why we chose to rehearse the scene at night, just like in the movie. Gu Shishi¡¯s eyes turned redder and redder, not because of her sadness but anger. Chapter 32 - Honesty Spell Chapter 32 Honesty Spell ¡°The water got my clothes wet, so he lent me his coat and put it on me. Someone took a video of me leaving the hotel with him with his coat on me, so everyone is spreading our dating rumors.¡± However, Gu Shishi didn¡¯t mention how people talked about her. If things were as she had said, she wouldn¡¯t have been so angry. She didn¡¯t want Bai Han to hear those words against her. Although Bai Han had not used his phone much ever since he had focused on cultivation, he could easily imagine how people online attacked Gu Shishi. ¡°Did the actor say anything?¡± Thinking of the actor¡¯s reaction made Gu Shishi furious. ¡°No!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, leave this to me.¡± Gu Shishi was shocked as she looked at Bai Han in a daze. After interacting with Bai Han, she could feel that he was probably not someone who used his phone much. In Gu Shishi¡¯s heart, Bai Han was usually isolated from the world and did not use his phone much. She thought that he did not know anything about the dramas of the entertainment industry. Her team found it a challenging situation and discussed countermeasures. Gu Shishi did not think that Bai Han would be able to resolve this matter, but his words brought her some comfort. Her master didn¡¯t ask any more questions but directly believed her words. ¡°Thank you, master.¡± The Gu Shishi¡¯s lips curled up into a smile, making her even more beautiful. The two of them did not lower their voices on purpose. Ever since Shen Yi became an elementary mage apprentice, her five senses have become much sharper. At this distance, she could hear the conversation between Bai Han and Gu Shishi. Shen Yi¡¯s face was ashen, but she soon calmed down. After leaving Gu Shishi¡¯s room, Bai Han went to check the comments online. As he expected, people online were verbally bullying Gu Shishi. Meanwhile, her fans stood up for her. There were all sorts of comments, and many people simply attacked Gu Shishi with an incomplete video. Bai Han¡¯s expression instantly turned cold. No one could do this to his disciple. Bai Han immediately took out his magic staff and waved it at the phone. A white light flashed and disappeared into the phone. Spatial Spell and counterattack magic were combined by Bai Han and thrown into the phone. If those people online continued to slander and insult Gu Shishi, his spell would counterattack. If they cursed her, they would be unlucky for the rest of the day. The more they scolded, the meaner their words were, and the longer they would be unlucky. When the sky turned dark, Bai Han used Flying Spell to fly to the beach that Gu Shishi had mentioned. This beach was far away from the center. It was quite lively during the day, but there was basically no one at night. It was cold at night and without a decent view, and the one next to it was even better. There was basically no one at night. Bai Han immediately cast Replay Spell. What had happened that night was played out in front of Bai Han. He took out his phone and videoed everything, including the part where Gu Shishi and the actor returned to the hotel and went back to their own room. Bai Han was already an elementary grand mage. If he only replayed the scene from that time and did not interfere, he could see everything, including what had happened in the hotel. Just as Bai Han left the hotel and was about to deactivate Replay Spell, he suddenly saw Shen Yi. Bai Han was speechless. Why was Shen Yi here? When he returned to the villa from the beach, Bai Han was still thinking about what he had seen and frowned. He immediately opened Shen Yi¡¯s Weibo and other related posts, and he thought he knew what was going on. ¡°I see¡­¡± After figuring everything out, Bai Han seemed even more troubled. Shen Yi and Gu Shishi were enemies, but he had thought that after the two of them started cultivating, these things in the entertainment industry would be in the past for them. The hatred between them should no longer be important. However, it seemed that at least Shen Yi had not seen everything from a new perspective. After some thought, Bai Han opened a new Weibo account and posted the video on Gu Shishi¡¯s account. The fans in the fan channel had stayed up all night to fight for their Gu Shishi. When they saw this video, they all freaked out. The top fans reposted the video, and all of them worked together to push the video to the top of the search. People online¡¯s attitudes quickly changed. On the other hand, the male actor acted as if nothing had happened and said nothing for Gu Shishi. With this video to prove her innocence, he had become the target of public criticism. Gu Shishi¡¯s fans were not the only ones who wanted an explanation from him. However, people also questioned the resource of the video. The video was too clear as if it was taken directly in front of them, and there were no cameras at the beach. However, soon people forgot about this matter. No matter where the video came from, at least there were no traces of fraud in the video. It was real. Everyone¡¯s anger was vented on the actor. He had no choice but apologized to Gu Shishi on a live stream. He had wanted to act innocent to gain some sympathy. What he didn¡¯t know was that Bai Han had been waiting for him to appear in public! Through the phone screen, Bai Han used Spatial Spell to directly smash Honesty Spell. Yang Shiying¡¯s makeup made him look pale. Just when he was about to lie, Bai Han¡¯s spell hit him without anyone noticing. ¡°I ¡­ I didn¡¯t speak up for Gu Shishi on purpose. She has no talent but a beautiful Who knows what¡¯s she like in private? Once the rumors spread, no one would want her to be the face of brands in the future. My girlfriend will have more chances then.¡± The comment area was empty for a moment, face! and everyone started to leave comments like crazy! People were watching his live stream for his apology and explanation, but no one had expected such news. Yang Shiying hadn¡¯t responded on purpose so that Gu Shishi would be attacked. Moreover, he had always acted as if he was single. Had he actually said that he had a girlfriend? Everyone online went nuts! Yang Shiying¡¯s face was still pale as he subconsciously turned off the camera. Things had turned around too quickly. Gu Shishi¡¯s public relations team was still trying to come up with a solution, but the matter had already been clarified. Everyone¡¯s attention was shifted to Yang Shiying and the girlfriend he was talking about. Gu Shishi¡¯s first thought was that Bai Han had told her to leave this matter to him. Thinking about it, her master must have used some kind of spell to find a way to film this video. Gu Shishi¡¯s eyes sparkled as she held her phone. Gu Shishi¡¯s incident passed quickly. None of them mentioned this matter again, and she became even more dependent on and close to him than before. ¡°Shen Yi, let¡¯s have a talk.¡± Bai Han chose a time when Gu Shishi was not in the villa and went to Shen Yi. ¡°Master.¡± Shen Yi stared at him in an alluring way as she raised her eyes, making her look even more attractive. ¡°You saw everything, but you didn¡¯t say a word for Shishi. Can you tell me why? ¡°Bai Han did not question Shen Yi but asked her calmly. Chapter 33 - The Unexpected Guest Chapter 33 The Unexpected Guest However, his calmness made Shen Yi panic. Even if Bai Han were to question her directly, Shen Yi would probably have been this anxious. ¡°Master, I¡­¡± Shen Yi bit her lip and put on a fake smile. ¡°I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re talking about.¡± ¡°Do you think you can hide it from me?¡± Shen Yi remained silent. After cultivating, Shen Yi was more and more aware of the huge gap between her and Bai Han. If Bai Han did not notice this, Shen Yi was confident that no one would know. However, he knew the truth now. Could she really hide anything from him? ¡°I¡­ I saw it. ¡°Shen Yi licked her lips nervously and did not look at Bai Han. ¡°Why?¡± Bai Han¡¯s tone remained calm as if he was simply curious about why she hadn¡¯t helped Gu Shishi. Shen Yi swallowed. ¡°Master, Gu Shishi and I are competitors. If she is abandoned by the brands because of the news, I¡¯ll have even more chances. There aren¡¯t many opportunities in the entertainment industry, so we all have to fight for our parts by pushing others out.¡± That was why Shen Yi did not speak up for Gu Shishi even if she had known the truth. In her opinion, Gu Shishi became her senior apprentice by accident, and they were still rivals. She was different from Gu Shishi. She would not be so foolish as to give up on the entertainment industry and focus on cultivation. Shen Yi could tell that she was more talented than Gu Shishi. Whether it was cultivation or her career in the entertainment industry, she wanted both. ¡°You like acting? Or do you like to sing and dance¡­¡± Bai Han gave a few examples. Shen Yi was stunned. ¡°Honestly, I am not very passionate about these things.¡¯ Compared to performance, fame in this industry attracted her more. Bai Han saw her expression and understood what she meant. ¡°After you have achieved success in your cultivation, you will have reputation, status, and money, right? Owning everything will be like a piece of cake for you.¡± Shen Yichen was stunned. Bai Han didn¡¯t say anything more. ¡°Think about what I said,¡± he said. With that, Bai Han got up and returned to his room. Before Shen Yi told him anything, Bai Han had an unexpected guest. Bai Han looked at the middle-aged man sitting opposite him. ¡°Mr. Song, what brings you here?¡± ¡°Mr. Bai, I heard that you have been looking for top-grade emeralds and gemstones of different colors.¡± Song Zhao smiled. He could see that Bai Han didn¡¯t have the patience to deal with him, so he directly stated his intention. Bai Han frowned. ¡°Mr. Song, do you have any news? ¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Song Zhao placed a gilded invitation on the table. ¡°This is an invitation to the largest auction in North City. There will be an auction in three days. I have some connections, and someone told me that they have a Blue Star Gem in the auction.¡± As he spoke, Song Zhao took out a photo from his suit pocket. It was a necklace, which was inlaid with diamonds. The most eye-catching thing was the Blue Star Gem on the necklace. There were clear star lines on it, and it was bright blue. The moment Bai Han saw the photo, his breathing quickened. Song Zhao had been dealing with all kinds of merchants for years, so he immediately noticed the change in Bai Han and knew what he wanted. ¡°The Blue Star Gem is not as good as Star of Adam, but it is still a top one. It is very rare. If you are interested, you should go and take a look, Mr. Bai. With this invitation, you can enter the private room. You don¡¯t have to worry about anyone noticing you.¡± Thanks to Gu Guofu having built connections with the magic potions and their effects, Bai Han was now very famous in the upper-class circle. Even if many people didn¡¯t want anything from him, they still hoped to form a good relationship with him. Not to mention those Youth Magic Potions and Enhancement Potions, just Bai Han¡¯s mysterious healing magic alone was enough to make many people in awe. Who could guarantee that they wouldn¡¯t have any illness in the future? No matter who Bai Han was or what magic he knew, it was a fact that he could cure diseases. Having a good relationship with him was only beneficial for them. When Song Zhao learned of this, he felt a little regretful. He regretted not trying to get close to Bai Han when he cured Chuxi and Chuyi. Otherwise, Gu Guofu would not be the only one who could work for Bai Han. The benefits to the Gu family gained a lot by dealing things for Bad Han. Because of Gu Guofu¡¯s close relationship with Bai Han, he was the one who pulled strings in many matters. As a result, many first-rate families started to respect his family. On the other hand, the Song family still had to tolerate the Liu family. What was more, Chuxi had to keep the marriage deal. When he found out that Gu Guofu was searching for jewelry, Song Zhao knew it was time to make a move. After he had spent a lot of effort to get the news and received the invitation, Song Zhao rushed over to the villa right away. ¡°Mr. Song, please let me know how much you want me to pay for this invitation.¡± Song Zhao quickly waved his hand. ¡°Mr. Bai, it¡¯s not like what you think. I owe you a great debt of gratitude. Do you think I will let you pay for this?¡± If Bai Han seriously paid him, it would be a deal, which wasn¡¯t his intention. ¡°Thank you so much, Mr. Song.¡± Bai Han saw through Song Zhao¡¯s intentions and did not reject the gift. Since it was related to elemental gemstones, Bai Han would accept his kindness. The most important thing was to collect all the elemental gemstones as soon as possible for cultivation. In the future, he would just have to fulfill one of Song Zhao¡¯s wishes. Song Zhao laughed. ¡°Hahaha, awesome! If you need anything, don¡¯t hesitate to ring me.¡± After Song Zhao left, Bai Han kept the invitation. Blue Star Gem should be a water elemental gem. They looked exactly the same. Now, he just had to confirm whether there were any magic waves in the auction. After some thought, Bai Han called Gu Guofu. ¡°Sir. Gu, I would appreciate it if you could try to collect as much money as you can.¡± As his level got higher and higher, the items he needed also increased. Bai Han could tell that some of the resources in the magic land could be found on earth. Usually, the higher the quality of the resources, the more expensive they were on earth. However, things that could be easily seen in the magic land could be sold for sky-high prices in the modern world, so Bai Han did not have to worry about not having enough money. Three days passed by in the blink of an eye. Song Zhao had not only brought Bai Han an invitation, but he had also prepared one for himself. Song Zhao had come a day earlier to pick up Bai Han and bring him to North City. Everything had been arranged properly, and Bai Han only just needed to show up. Song Zhao had even prepared the money. If Bai Han needed it, Song Zhao would immediately hand over the money if he asked for it. Of course, Bai Han didn¡¯t need a coin from him. In these three days, Gu Guofu sold two bottles of Healing Magic Potion, and Bai Han had a few billion in his account. No matter how expensive this sapphire necklace was, he could buy a few with billions of dollars. Just as Song Zhao had said, Bai Han¡¯s invitation card allowed him to enter the private room directly through a special passage without walking past the lobby. Bai Han didn¡¯t know what his appearance would mean. Chapter 34 - The Bidding War Chapter 34 The Bidding War The auction was divided into two parts. The lower part was the hall, the upper part was the private room, and the upper part was the U-shaped platform for the auction. Every room had a screen that covered the entire wall. The screen could be switched, allowing one to clearly see the details of the situation on the high platform. One could also switch the screen, or rather, the angle of the shooting, to see the situation in the entire hall below. Moreover, the guests in the private rooms could also zoom the images of items and carefully observe them from all angles. The people in the private rooms were all rich and influential, and they came from distinguished families. The Song family had spent a lot of money on the invitation and used many connections to get this room in a good position. In addition to the five bodyguards, there were only Song Zhao and Bai Han in the private room. ¡°Welcome to the auction in the North City. Next¡­¡± A beautiful woman in a cheongsam dress walked up to the stage with a microphone in her hand. Her gentle and sweet voice came to everyone in the auction house. Bai Han was currently looking at the auction brochure that had been brought over by the waiters. There was a detailed description of the auction item and the starting price. The Blue Star Gem mentioned by Song Zhao was the finale of today¡¯s auction. This auction would be held for three days in a row. There would be a total of three auctions, and each of them would have a final item. Today was the first auction, and the final item was the Blue Star Gem necklace. In the second auction the next day, the final item would be a piece of old pit glass-type Fortune Jade Pendant. When Bai Han saw the last item on the last day, he seemed stunned. The last item was an antique. A jade bottle from the Qin Dynasty. The starting price was already 100 million. Bai Han closed the auction brochure. The Blue Star Gems weren¡¯t the only emeralds and gemstones that were auctioned in the three auctions, but Bai Han was sure that he had never seen any of the others in the magic land after checking them. Of course, there was a possibility that some of the jades were rare crystals from the magic land, but there was no way to be sure. After all, Bai Han had only stayed in Glacier Academy on the magic land. Glacier Academy was just an ordinary but not a top-notch magic academy there. Otherwise, it would not have been destroyed by the aftermath of a battle between grand mages. After the host finished the opening speech, the auction officially began. The first item was a huge pearl, but Bai Han was not very interested in it. Song Zhao had wanted to talk about the auction items with Bai Han to be closer to him, but he gave up after seeing Bai Han¡¯s expression. The auction continued, and time continued to pass by. Song Zhao and Bai Han didn¡¯t even have time to have small talk. After waiting for a while, Song Zhao decided to strike up a conversation about his daughters. ¡°Chuxi was telling me that she wants to visit you to say thank you.¡± Song Zhao was emotional and happy. ¡°She¡¯s loved playing the piano since she was little. Ever since she couldn¡¯t see anymore, she¡¯s been focusing all her attention on the piano. I¡¯ve been busy with work, and her mother has passed away, so I didn¡¯t have much energy to care about her feelings. If there was no piano, I don¡¯t know how Chuxi would be now,¡± Song Zhao, who had only wanted to start a conversation, just blurted out the words in his heart. ¡°Although ears are the most important for a pianist, losing her sight inevitably affects her progress.¡± Song Zhao had always felt guilty. The fire that caused Song Chuxi to lose her sight had been an accident when she was young. He hadn¡¯t been home at the time. After cleaning and cooking, the nanny left. She thought that he would return home later that night and that it would be fine to leave Song Chuxi alone at home for a few hours. However, there was a power outage that night. She was afraid and couldn¡¯t find a flashlight, so she found the spare candles in the house and lit them. She didn¡¯t notice that the candle was placed on the table next to the bed, and the fire went down to the curtains and lit it. Song Chuxi was already lucky to only lose her sight. Bai Han¡¯s expression changed. ¡°Being a pianist is quite good.¡± It reminded him of a group of special people in the magic land. There were some mages who preferred a special cultivating method, not anything demonic. Instead, their magic staffs were unique. A group of them was known as musical mages, which meant their magic staffs were all kinds of musical instruments that combined music and magic. ¡°Miss Song¡¯s eyes are healed now, so I guess she has made some progress in the piano.¡± ¡°Yup,¡± Song Zhao had a proud face when he talked about his daughter¡¯s achievements. ¡°She just won an award a while ago.¡± Song Zhao had already forgotten about his intention of using Song Chuxi to start the conversation and get closer to Bai Han. Instead, he started to non-stop talk about his daughter. Bai Han was speechless as he looked at the proud and excited Song Zhao, but he didn¡¯t interrupt him in the end. After all, Shishi and Song Chuxi were best friends, and Song Zhao was Song Chuxi¡¯s father. Moreover, he even led him to the water elemental gem. He forced himself to listen to Song Zhao¡¯s long speech. After more than an hour, it was finally the day¡¯s final auction item. Blue Star Gem necklace! When the Blue Star Gem necklace rose from the display cabinet on the high platform, everyone in the lobby took a deep breath. This Blue Star Gem necklace had top-notch purity, design, and craftsmanship. ¡°The next one is the Blue Star Gem necklace, starting price thirty million! Each bid must be no less than one million!¡± ¡°Fifty million!¡± ¡°Sixty million!¡± ¡°Six thousand five hundred and five!¡± Bidding was being held in the private room, and attendants could directly enter the price on the private room¡¯s bidding device. Bai Han took the bidding device and directly entered the price. The price entered on the bidding device would be directly displayed on the monitor at the door of the room. There was a waiter at the door of each room, responsible for raising the corresponding price on the monitor. ¡°Room 9, a hundred million!¡± The host sounded very excited. It was normal for the Blue Star Gem necklace to be sold for a hundred million, but this was just the beginning! The price had jumped from sixty-five million to a hundred million! Everyone in the hall looked at room 9. The bidding that had been going on and on instantly slowed down. ¡°A hundred and five million! Room 3!¡± ¡°Room 9, a hundred and thirty million! ¡°Room 7, a hundred and fifty million! After the price of the Blue Star Gem was raised to a hundred and fifty million, no one else bid in the lobby. ¡°Room 7, a hundred and seventy million, once!¡± ¡°Two hundred million from Room 9!¡± The host was so excited that her face turned red. ¡°Two hundred million going once! Two hundred million twice!¡± ¡°Room 7, Two hundred and ten million! People in the room freaked out, and even those in the private rooms were surprised. Two hundred million for his Blue Star Gem necklace was already a sky-high price, and it was not even worth it. However, what shocked the crowd even more, was the bid from Room 9. ¡°Room nine, three hundred million!¡± The emcee¡¯s breathing became rapid. This was the first time she had auctioned off a collection at such a high price. ¡°Room 9, three hundred million, going once! Room 9, three hundred million, going twice!¡± Chapter 35 - My Blue Star Gem! Chapter 35 My Blue Star Gem! ¡°Room 9, three hundred million, thrice! The gentleman in room 9 just won the sapphire necklace!¡± The host was so excited that her voice almost cracked. Three hundred million! The highest valuation of the Blue Star Gem necklace was two hundred million, and now the price was a third higher! Song Zhao was scared out of his wits. He had thought that two hundred million was more than enough and hadn¡¯t expected Mr. Bai to spend three hundred million! ¡°Mr. Bai, isn¡¯t this price a little too high?¡± Song Zhao¡¯s hand that was holding the teacup was trembling. ¡°No.¡± Bai Han¡¯s eyes were cold. Three hundred million for a water elemental gemstone, which was worth it. The last item was sold, which meant the auction for the day was coming to an end. After the host finished the closing speech, Bai Han got up and went downstairs. No one had left yet, for everyone in the hall raised their heads to see who was in room 9. Soon, the door of room 9 opened. A middle-aged man walked out of the private room. ¡°Song Zhao?¡± Many people recognized Song Zhao. ¡°Spending three hundred million to buy a Blue Star Gem gem necklace? Is he crazy? ¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t know the Song family is into gemstones. Why would he spend so much money on a Blue Star Gem gem necklace? ¡± There was a lot of discussion in the auction hall. No one had expected that the person in room 9 would be Song Zhao. Then, they saw Song Zhao standing respectfully at the door of room 9 as if he was waiting for someone. Bai Han walked out of the private room and immediately noticed dozens of people staring at him. He looked at the hall below and whipped his head. At the same time, the door to room 7 opened. A young man walked out with a few people behind him. As soon as he came out, his eyes immediately turned to Bai Han. Unlike the curious attitude of the crowd downstairs, the gaze of the young man from room 7 was clearly hostile. Bai Han frowned and said to Song Zhao, ¡°Let¡¯s go get the necklace.¡± ¡°Alright. Mr. Bai, this way, please.¡± Song Zhao pointed. Bai Han walked to the very front with Song Zhao behind, completely unaware that Song Zhao was already wiping his sweat and preparing to call for more people. When the crowd in the hall saw the people in room 9 and room 7, they were freaked out. ¡°Jesus Christ! Who was the young man in room 9? He¡¯s going to be in big trouble this time, right?¡± ¡°Who would¡¯ve thought that the one in room 7 is Mr. Chen? Good luck with that boy.¡± ¡°I wonder who the guy in room 9 is. I¡¯ve never seen him before. ¡°No matter who he is, Mr. Chen will give him a hard time! If he upsets the Chen family, he might also lose the necklace!¡± Bai Han heard these discussions, but he didn¡¯t take them seriously. With his power, any distinguished family didn¡¯t matter to him. In the end, they were just ordinary people. When they arrived backstage at the auction house, Bai Han revealed his identity. ¡°Room 9, I am here to collect the auction item.¡± He showed his invitation card, on which his private room number was clearly printed. Knowing that he was the buyer who had spent three hundred million on the Blue Star Gem necklace, the manager was rather attentive. ¡°Please wait a moment, Sir,¡± he took the card from Bai Han and said with a smile. After taking three hundred million from Bai Han¡¯s credit card, the manager brought over a brocade box. However, before he could reach Bai Han and hand over the brocade box, someone stopped him! Chen Xingqun quickly took the box from the manager. People knew who Chen Xingqun was. No one expected him to suddenly snatch the brocade box, so they couldn¡¯t do anything. ¡°Give it to me,¡± Bai Han said coldly, frowning. ¡°To you?¡± Chen Xingqun snickered. ¡°What if I don¡¯t?¡± ¡°Who are you?¡± Bai Han¡¯s expression turned cold, and he could somewhat tell who this person was. ¡°Room 7, I was bidding for this necklace earlier,¡± Chen Xingqun snorted and said. Bad Han wasn¡¯t surprised. He reached out his hand to Chen Xingqun, ¡°I have already won this necklace. If you want it, you can go and find a second one.¡± ¡°Ha!¡± Not only did Chen Xingqun not return the necklace to Bai Han, but he also opened the box and took out the Blue Star Gem necklace. As he hooked his finger around the necklace, there was anger and upset in his eyes. He smiled at Bai Han viciously. ¡°If I can¡¯t have it, no one else can!¡± Chen Xingqun threw the necklace to the floor! When Chen Xingqun threw the necklace, Bai Han saw his fury and rage. He knew that Chen Xingqun would not hand over the necklace, so he cast Sealing Spell on him. However, casting a spell required chanting. Although he could do it silently, he had to. Mages needed some time to chant before casting spells. Just as Chen Xingqun threw the necklace, Bai Han¡¯s magic started to activate. Bai Han¡¯s Sealing Spell was unable to seal Chen Xingqun nor save the Blue Star Gem necklace before he threw the necklace. Bai Han didn¡¯t have enough time to catch the necklace by himself. If he relied on magic, he would need to cast, and he would not be able to make it in time. Chen Xingqun smashed the Blue Star Gem down. The gemstone shattered. In the next moment, Sealing Spell hit Chen Xingqun. Chen Xingqun couldn¡¯t move or speak, and his body turned stiff. Bai Han was already dumbfounded. It shattered! F*ck! Holy sh*t! It hadn¡¯t been easy to find the water elemental gemstone, but it was smashed to pieces! Bai Han almost had a breakdown! It was difficult to find elemental gemstones. After such a long time, he had only found three. It was gone before he even touched it. Without the five elemental gemstones, Bai Han would not be able to start his grand mage cultivation. ¡°Go f*ck yourself!¡± Bai Han cursed and cast Sleeping Spell on Chen Xingqun. When the elders of the Chen family arrived, they saw Chen Xingqun falling down. ¡°Xingqun!¡± The bodyguard caught Chen Xingqun, preventing him from hitting the floor. Xingqun? Xingqun?¡± Chen Zhao ran to Chen Xingqun and shook him, shouting anxiously ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± He only knew that after Bai Han went downstairs, Chen Xingqun followed. However, he ran into his business partner and did not manage to catch up with Chen Xingqun. The bodyguards were shocked as well. They saw Bai Han wave his hand, and then Chen Xingqun couldn¡¯t move and passed out. Hearing Chen Zhao¡¯s question, they all turned to Bai Han. The manager of the auction was scared out of his wits. Who would have thought that things would suddenly turn out like this? In the blink of an eye, the Blue Star Gem gem shattered, and Mr. Chen fainted. He wished that he couldn¡¯t have fainted as well so that he didn¡¯t need to deal with the situation. Chen Xingqun was the Chen family¡¯s baby. Noticing the bodyguard¡¯s gaze, Chen Zhao stared at Bai Han fiercely. However, when his gaze fell on Bai Han, the hostility in his eyes instantly disappeared. Instead, he looked guilty. Chapter 36 - Are you...? Chapter 36 Are you¡­? The fragments of the Blue Star Gem necklace were on the floor, and an auction staff was picking them up one by one. Chen Zhao had noticed his nephew¡¯s angry look in the private room. Chen Zhao also knew Chen Xingqun very well. Chen Xingqun was probably why this pile of Blue Star Gem shards was there. Chen Zhao cleared his throat and walked around Bai Han, who was a stranger to him. ¡°Mr. Song, what happened just now?¡± he asked Song Zhao directly. The Chen family was a first-class family, and this was the first time Song Zhao gave them a hard time. ¡°Mr. Chen snatched the Blue Star Gem necklace from the manager, threw it on the floor, and destroyed the gemstone on purpose.¡± Song Zhao even emphasized the end of the sentence. Chen Zhao looked a bit embarrassed. ¡°Sir, I¡¯m really sorry. My nephew is just a kid. The Chen family will return you the thirty hundred million dollars you¡¯ve paid for the Blue Star Gem necklace.¡± ¡°But¡­¡± He then looked at the unconscious Chen Xingqun and stared at them angrily. ¡°What¡¯s going on with my nephew?¡± ¡°Sir, that man just waved his hand, and Mr. Chen suddenly fainted.¡± Chen Zhao frowned and looked at Bai Han. ¡°Chen Xingqun is from our family. I¡¯m very sorry about the Blue Star Gem, but don¡¯t you think you¡¯ve gone too far? ¡± ¡°Too far?¡± Bai Han¡¯s eyes finally fell on Chen Zhao. His gaze was cold, and his tone was even more serious. ¡°I was just teaching him a lesson.¡± As Bai Han spoke, he glanced at the unconscious Chen Xingqun and said unhappily, ¡°I wonder how you educate kids in your family¡­¡± Chen Xingqun was clearly spoiled by the Chen family. He thought that he could do whatever he wanted, for his family would always clean up the mess for him. That was why he ran riot everywhere. He hadn¡¯t been able to win the item, so he directly smashed what belonged to someone else. Chen Zhao frowned and warned Bai Han, ¡°excuse me, my family¡­¡± ¡°Sir, it was Xingqun who broke Mr. Bai¡¯s Blue Star Gem necklace. I guess it¡¯s not difficult to tell who should be responsible for this matter,¡¯ Song Zhao interrupted Chen Zhao. Chen Zhao heard his words, and his eyebrows knotted. ¡°You¡¯re Mr. Bai?¡± Recently, Mr. Bai had been very popular in the upper-class circle. Chen Zhao had heard of him, but he had never seen him in person. ¡°Mr. Bai.¡± Chen Zhao¡¯s attitude became more friendly. ¡°Chen Xingqun is just a kid. Please give him another chance. We will definitely send something as compensation for you.¡± Chen Zhao had heard that Mr. Bai did have some extraordinary power. He thought the stories about him were all exaggerating, but there was no smoke without fire. Mr. Bai should have some abilities. Otherwise, the head of the Gu and the Song family wouldn¡¯t have worked for Mr. Bai. Besides, as the bodyguard had said, Mr. Bai had only waved his hand to make Chen Xingqun faint. There must be something supernatural going on. If it was possible, Chen Zhao didn¡¯t want to offend Bai Han. He was sure that they could find a solution. The Chen family should still be well-respected. ¡°Compensation?¡± Bai Han sneered coldly, still furious. ¡°Compensate me with another Blue Star Gem of the same purity?¡± Chen Zhao didn¡¯t know what to say. If it had been easy to find the Blue Star Gem, it would not have been on the auction. The Chen family really didn¡¯t have a Blue Star Gem. As far as Chen Zhao knew, the families that had such top-grade Blue Star Gems were all collectors. Getting the gemstones from them was mission impossible. ¡°Mr. Bai, I can give you whatever you want. We don¡¯t want to make each other look bad, right?¡± Hearing this, Bai Han understood that Chen Zhao, even the Chen family, didn¡¯t have any Blue Star Gem. The manager of the auction didn¡¯t dare to say a word. As for the auction organizer, he quickly heard the news and rushed over. After learning the situation from the manager, he quickly went forward to solve the problem. ¡°Mr. Bai, how about this? Our auction house didn¡¯t properly take care of your item, so we will return one-third of the price to you. The Chen family will also compensate you, and I can guarantee it will be a good deal for you. If there is any information about Blue Star Gems, we will inform you immediately. What do you say?¡± The host of the auction wanted to be the peacemaker. Bai Han just glanced at his and Chen Zhao¡¯s face coldly. ¡°I will wait for you to send me another Blue Star Gem.¡± With that, Bai Han disappeared. Both Chen Zhao and the auction organizer were stunned. Especially the organizer. He had heard of Mr. Bai¡¯s name, but he had never seen him and thought that the rumors were not true. That was why they hadn¡¯t treated Bai Han seriously. At least, between Bai Han and the Chen family, they had chosen to stand on the Chen family¡¯s side. The auction organizer had seemed to try to find a middle point for them, but he was actually biased towards the Chen family. Song Zhao sighed. ¡°Mr. Bai does know magic. Why didn¡¯t you keep an eye on that boy? Or perhaps you could have been more respectful or sincere.¡± He could tell that they both thought the rumors were just rumors. ¡°Do you seriously think any normal person can do what Mr. Bai just did?¡± With a wave of his hand, he knocked Chen Xingqun out and disappeared in front of everyone. Chen Zhao¡¯s face turned pale. Looking at Chen Xingqun, he wanted to yell at his stupid nephew. At the same time, he wished that he could have acted differently earlier. ¡°I¡¯ve asked the Gu family before. Mr. Bai is only twenty-four years old. Xingqun is already twenty-five this year, right? He¡¯s a year older than Mr. Bai. Did you just say he¡¯s just a kid?¡± Song Zhao shook his head. Thinking of Chen Zhao¡¯s excuse, he found it ridiculous. Was someone twenty-five still a kid? He had already managed a department in the age! company when he was that How could someone twenty-five still be this childish, savage, and stupid? Song Zhao left Chen Zhao alone. ¡°Mr. Song!¡± Chen Zhao quickly stopped him. ¡°Xingqun is the only child of the Chen family, and my brother has no other kid.¡± Chen Zhao lowered his voice and said, ¡°it¡¯s was Xingqun¡¯s fault today. Mr. Song, tell us what to do.¡± After being pulled, Song Zhao blinked his eyes and hesitated. ¡°I am not really close to Mr. Bai,¡± he said, ¡°it was only after much effort that I was able to come to the auction with Mr. Bai.¡± In fact, Song Zhao was also quite angry. He had wanted to get closer to Bai Han, but who knew that such a thing would happen? The Blue Star Gem had been broken, and the Chen family was involved. What was worse, Mr. Bai was so mad that he had left. ¡°I think it will be easier if you go to see Mr. Bai.¡± Chapter 37 - Decomposition and Synthesis Magic Potion Chapter 37 Decomposition and Synthesis Magic Potion The news that the boy from the Chen family, Chen Xingqun, had offended Bai Han spread like wildfire. After that, Chen Xingqun remained unconscious. The Chen family sent him to several top hospitals and contacted prominent doctors all around the world, but no one could help him. They let Chen Xingqun wake up from a coma or find out why he was still unconscious. The body check results showed that there was nothing wrong with Chen Xingqun¡¯s body. From a medical point of view, he should not be in a coma. The Chen family had no choice but to try to find a way while Chen Xingqun was being fed with nutrient injections. When Bai Han returned, he was extremely upset. After spending three hundred million dollars, he did not get the water elemental gemstone. The only good news was that he was sure that the water elemental gemstone on the magic land was the Blue Star Gem from the earth. He could only ask Gu Guofu to help keep an eye on any news about Blue Star Gems. Ever since Song Zhao had returned, he had been worried. After all, he was the one who had brought Bai Han to the auction, which unfortunately had turned into a mess. Song Zhao even came to visit Bai Han to apologize. ¡°Mr. Song, don¡¯t say sorry.¡± Bai Han shook his head. He could tell what was right and wrong. Song Zhao could not have predicted what would happen at the auction. Moreover, Song Zhao stood by his side when he faced the Chen family, a first-class family in North City. He had given the Chen family a hard time for him. The Chen family and the Liu family were different. The Liu family was barely ranked at the bottom of the first-rate families. However, the Chen family was a first-class family in North City, and they had been passed down for many generations and had a deep foundation. Usually, Song Zhao would need to spend money and use connections to get in touch with them. However, this time, Song Zhao did not speak up for the Chen family to support him. The Chen family might not give Song Zhao a hard time after this incident. However, if Song Zhao had put in a good word or two for them, they might so him some favor in the future. Song Zhao had done the right thing. ¡°You were on my side when the thing about Blue Star Gem happened, Mr. Song. At least I know what I am looking for now.¡± Bai Han smiled faintly. ¡°Please let me know if you get any information about Blue Star Gems. You will be paid.¡± Song Zhao heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Of course, Mr. Bai. It¡¯s my pleasure to help you.¡± After some small talk, Song Zhao knew that he should leave. Walking him to the door, Bai Han leaned back on the sofa and felt troubled. When would he be able to continue cultivating? ¡°Master. Shen Yi sneaked into the living room and looked at Bai Han with a guilty look. ¡°Yes?¡± Bai Han opened his eyes. ¡°Anything you want to tell me?¡± ¡°I changed my mind.¡± Shen Yi pursed her lips and put on a bright smile. ¡°You are right. As long as I cultivate seriously, the things that I¡¯ve spent half my life researching in the entertainment industry will be within my reach after.¡± Gu Shishi was not stupid enough to give up on her career as an actress. It was just that Shen Yi didn¡¯t see through it and got stuck in her mind, thinking that she could have everything with her efforts. However, she had almost lost the forest for the trees. ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯ve figured things out. Being stuck in your mind doesn¡¯t help with cultivation.¡± Overthinking could lead to unreasonable behaviors. ¡°I¡¯ve already apologized to Shishi.¡± Hearing this, Bai Han finally revealed a genuine smile. ¡°That¡¯s great.¡± It would be great if his disciples could get along with each other. He didn¡¯t want to waste time trying to solve the conflict between the two. With Gu Guofu and Song Zhao helping him find the elemental gemstone, Bai Han decided to put all his attention into making Decomposition and Synthesis Magic Potion. When Bai Han bought the Golden Flower Tea field, the flowers were ready to be harvested. The first batch of Golden Flower Tea had already been delivered to the villa. Bai Han¡¯s room was a distance away from Gu Shishi and Shen Yi¡¯s. His room was on the left, while Gu Shishi and Shen Yi¡¯s rooms were on the right. There was a suspended corridor between the two sides, which meant the two sides were completely separated. Therefore, the rooms around Bai Han were actually vacant. He transformed the room on his left into a room for refining magic potions. It was filled with all kinds of strange utensils in the eyes of modern people. It was similar to the equipment used in a laboratory but still somewhat different. After these tools had been sent to the villa, Bai Han modified them all with magic power. After all, magic potions needed to be concocted with magic power, and ordinary equipment might not be able to withstand it. Bai Han entered the magic potion refining room and put all his attention on Decomposition and Synthesis Magic Potion. Boom! There was another explosion from upstairs. Shen Yi and Gu Shishi were eating in the dining room downstairs. When they heard the sound, they didn¡¯t even check where the sound came from. It had been like this for a week, and there were a few explosions almost every day. They were already used to it. Their master wouldn¡¯t be injured anyway. At most, his clothes would be torn or stained. Decomposition and Synthesis Magic Potion was at least midgrade. The most peculiar thing about it was that the materials used for both midgrade and high-grade Decomposition and Synthesis Magic Potions were actually the same. As for the quality of the potion, it would depend on the skills and luck of the mages who were in charge. Bai Han needed both skills and luck. He couldn¡¯t control how lucky he was. Unfortunately, Bai Han wasn¡¯t skillful when it came to refining. Only by becoming a mage could one refine magic potions. When he was on the magic land, he was forced to return to the earth not long after he became an elementary mage. At that time, he had only learned how to refine some low-grade magic potions. Therefore, Bai Han failed countless times while working on Decomposition and Synthesis Magic Potion. There had been explosions for a week. The servants in the villa brought tools up and cleaned the room under Bai Han¡¯s instructions as if it was something normal. In order to prevent Cleaning Spell from affecting the production of magic potions, Bai Han could only let the servants clean up. After cleaning up, Bai Han asked them to leave right away. He already had some ideas. It was midnight when Bai Han finally walked out of the room where the magic potions were made. He held a small glass bottle in his hand, which contained a mixture of gold and white liquid. The two colors were clearly separated. They were in the same bottle, but they didn¡¯t blend with each other. Bai Han shook the bottle in his hand with a cheerful look on his face. It was a success! All his efforts weren¡¯t in vain. Although he had only produced a bottle of midgrade Decomposition and Synthesis Magic Potion, as long as he was more familiar with it, he would be able to produce some high-grade ones in a short time. Moreover, this bottle of middle-grade Decomposition and Synthesis Magic Potion was enough. Bai Han put away the potion. Now, he only needed more elemental gemstones. Once the elemental gemstones were prepared, he would immediately drink the magic potion and start training. Chapter 38 - Pushed to the Wall Chapter 38 Pushed to the Wall The Chen family was in a mess. After trying everything they could to let wake up Chen Xingqun from his coma, they began to contact Bai Han. Although Chen Xingqun¡¯s life was not in danger, how long could he last on a drip? It had only been a week, but Chen Xingqun had lost a lot of weight. Chen Quan was heartbroken. ¡°These doctors are all paid so high, but they¡¯re useless!¡± Chen Xingqun was now in the Chen family¡¯s private hospital. Looking at his unconscious and skinny son, Chen Quan was very anxious. Mrs. Chen¡¯s eyes were always red as she sat by the bed. ¡°F*ckin Bai Han! It was just a Blue Star Gem. Is he a savage? Why did he have to do this to Xingqun?¡± ¡°Chen Zhao, are you sure that Bai Han merely waved his hand and Xingqun fainted?¡± ¡°Brother, I didn¡¯t see it, but others did. The bodyguards and the manager of the auction, and a bunch of people, they were all there.¡± Bai Han and Song Zhao might not be trustworthy, but Chen Xingqun¡¯s bodyguards were. Not to mention, there was also the auction manager. These people would definitely not dare to offend the Chen family. Chen Quan looked at his son, who was lying on the bed and said, ¡°Find a way to contact Bai Han. I want to meet him.¡± ¡°Babe!¡± When Mrs. Chen heard this, she immediately screamed, ¡°You have to teach Bai Han a lesson!¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Chen Quan was already upset about Chen Xingqun¡¯s condition, and her behavior didn¡¯t help at all. ¡°Don¡¯t you know who Bai Han is? All the top-notch families are trying to be his friends? No matter whether the stories about him are true or not, many people believe so!¡± Not only did people trust Bai Han, but those who had spent a lot of money on these magic potions, especially Youth Magic Potions, all became younger. It couldn¡¯t be explained with the current medical science! Chen Quan had always been skeptical, but he didn¡¯t want to get into trouble with Bai Han. Who would have expected Xingqun to have a problem with such a figure in the auction? ¡°Aren¡¯t those just rumors? How could there be magic?¡± Mrs. Chen muttered with an upset tone after being yelled at by her husband. ¡°Are you stupid or what?¡± Chen Quan couldn¡¯t understand why he had married such a brainless woman. ¡°Whether the stories are true or not, it¡¯s clear Bai Han has made Xingqun like this. Our son is still in a coma, so we need his help. Why do you think we can give him a lesson?¡± Mrs. Chen finally stopped talking. The most important thing was to let Chen Xingqun wake up. ¡°Brother, don¡¯t be anxious. Given the current situation, let¡¯s first think of a way to contact Bai Han and see what his attitude is. As long as we can reach him, there¡¯ll be a way to make him deal with the situation.¡± The problem now was that they might have no way to contact Bai Han. Bai Han was very famous in the circle, but not many people had seen him. There were only four families had met him in person. There were the Gu family, the Song family, and the Lin family. The other one was Chen Fan, who was from a second-rate aristocratic family. The rest of the people had contacted Bai Han through Gu Guofu, and none of them had seen him. They had only bought all kinds of magic potions from Gu Guofu. Chen Quan squinted his eyes and had a furious expression on his face. ¡°Put pressure on these three families. Force them to contact Bai Han. ¡°Forget about Chen Fan,¡± he added after some thought. Ever since Chen Fan had met Bai Han, he had offended him. Now, his business was getting worse and worse, and it had been going downhill. ¡°Brother, don¡¯t worry. Leave it to me,¡± Chen Zhao responded without hesitation. However, he soon regretted it. None of these three were willing to help him contact Bai Han. The Gu family refused to see him. Whenever he went to the Gu family¡¯s residence, Gu Guofu was either feeling unwell or out for errands. Gu Guofu was full of energy after being cured by Bai Han and looked even more energetic than his son. Apparently, feeling sick was just an excuse. He then turned to Gu Xingrong, who then claimed that he had never contacted Bai Han. Gu Guofu and Gu Shishi had been the only ones keeping in touch with Bai Han. That was why Chen Zhao went to look for Gu Shishi, thinking that it would be easier to convince this young girl to help him. Who knew that the moment Chen Zhao met Gu Shishi, she made him speechless? ¡°Mr. Chen, Mr. Bai is my master. You destroyed what my master needed, and now you¡¯re asking me to contact him. Don¡¯t you think as his disciple¡­¡± Gu Shishi sized up Chen Zhao and said. Chen Zhao¡¯s face turned ashen, for he had never thought that Gu Shishi was Bai Han¡¯s disciple. For a moment, he didn¡¯t know if he should be glad or upset. ¡°Ms. Gu, I know it was Xingqun¡¯s bad, and we are willing to compensate for it. Mr. Bai can ask for anything he wants, and we will do our best to help. We have been looking for Blue Star Gems, but they are mostly in the hands of collectors,¡± Chen Zhao added. These collectors did not lack money, and the gemstones were the only things they wanted. They wouldn¡¯t help, no matter how the Chen family persuaded them. Gu Shishi put on a polite smile. ¡°I¡¯ll help you contact my master when you find a Blue Star Gem.¡± ¡°Ms. Gu ¡­¡± Chen Zhao smiled, but his tone was threatening. ¡°Although the Chen family can¡¯t contact Mr. Bai for the time being, we still have some power in the circle. The Gu family has a project recently, and we are quite interested in it.¡± In other words, if the Gu family helped, the Chen family was willing to cooperate with them and even give up the benefits. However, if the Gu family refused, they might ruin this project. Gu Shishi¡¯s smile disappeared. When her almond-shaped eyes turned cold, she could look pretty scary. ¡°Mr. Chen, Mr. Bai is my master, so maybe I can do the same thing as he did to your nephew?¡± Chen Zhao instantly turned dumbfounded. Gu Shishi sneered and walked away from him. On the other hand, Chen Xi did not dare to stop her. If Gu Shishi also knew magic, the Chen family might have another member in a coma. At that time, Bai Han would surely hold the whip hand. The Gu family was not willing to help, so Chen Zhao started to visit the Song family and the Lin family. The Song family and the Lin family were in-laws, and their attitudes were very similar. Back then, Bai Han had saved Song Chuxi, Song Chuyi, and Madam. Lin. They were grateful to Bai Han and sent some things over. When Song Zhao found out that Bai Han needed Blue Star Gems, he went to the auction with him. They had no way to contact Bai Han either. Chen Zhao didn¡¯t know what to do! Even if he used the Chen family¡¯s reputation to pressure them, they wouldn¡¯t say a word. Chen Quan was so devastated that he directly attacked these families. However, maybe they were being targeted by the Chen family at the same time, so they joined forces. The Chen family couldn¡¯t do anything to them. Chapter 39 - The Enemy of My Enemy Chapter 39 The Enemy of My Enemy When Bai Han heard these things from Gu Shishi, he laughed and didn¡¯t make any comment. ¡°Master, when do you plan to let the Chen family go?¡± Gu Shishi blinked with a curious face. After hearing what happened to Chen Xingqun, she was also furious. However, she also knew that her master would not kill Chen Xingqun because of this. At most, he would just teach Chen Xingqun an unforgettable lesson. ¡°They have to wait for three months, and Chen Xingqun will wake up.¡± Gu Shishi immediately understood. ¡°Then let¡¯s let the Chen family be anxious for a few months.¡± Bai Han knew that the Chen family wouldn¡¯t be able to wait for a few months. Did they want to negotiate with him without putting anything on the table? What were they thinking? As Bai Han was waiting for the Chen family to finally make up their mind, their enemy came to him. The Chu family and the Chen family were both first-class families in North City, and they basically controlled the whole city. These two families had always been at odds with each other for several generations. Both of them were in North City, but they had a conflict of interest, so they became enemies. When the Chu family heard that the Chen family offended Bai Han, they were pleased. Especially now that Bai Han had caused the Chen family to be in chaos and helpless, the Chu family was even more delighted. The enemy of an enemy was a friend. The Chu family had the intention of befriending Bai Han, but they had not had an opportunity. When they heard that Bai Han was looking for jewelry, they started to look for it. They had wanted to choose some and give offered to Bai Han as a gesture of friendship. After the incident with the Chen family, the Chu family finally knew what kind of jewelry Bai Han wanted. He wanted Blue Star Gem. When Sir. Chu learned the information, he clapped his hands. What a coincidence! They had just bought a few Blue Star Gems some time ago! Moreover, part of the young generation of the Chu family liked to collect jewelry. He had a Blue Star Gem that he had bought a few years ago, and it was even better than the one on the auction day. Chu Longyun immediately bought the blue gem from him, half-forcing him to do so. Then, with the other three gems that they had collected during this period of time, he contacted Song Zhao. Bai Han was searching for information on gemstones on his computer to see if he could find elemental gemstones, especially Blue Star Gems. At this moment, his phone suddenly rang. ¡°Hello?¡± Bai Han picked up the phone with one hand to answer the call, his other hand still on the mouse. After being on the phone for a moment, Bai Han stopped moving. ¡°Alright, let me know where to meet them. The sooner, the better.¡± After hanging up the phone, Bai Han immediately closed the window about Blue Star Gems on his computer. He had found some water elemental gemstones. Bai Han wanted to deal with this issue as soon as possible, and Chu Longyun also couldn¡¯t wait to start their cooperation. The two of them met the next day. In order to prevent the Chen family from receiving the news, Chu Longyun had chosen to meet Bai Han at their family¡¯s teahouse. Bai Han flew directly to the teahouse Chu Longyun had proposed. Chu Longyun even waited for Bai Han at the door to show his respect. Seeing Bai Han suddenly appear, Chu Longyun was stunned for a moment. He quickly came back to his senses and went to greet him. There had been rumors that Mr. Bai could suddenly show up and disappear, so Chu Longyun had been mentally prepared. ¡°Mr. Bai, I¡¯ve heard a lot about you!¡± Bai Han nodded his head coldly. ¡°Mr. Chu.¡± The workers in the teahouse did not know who Mr. Bai was, so they were all surprised that Chu Longyun respected the young man this much. Bai Han was very famous in upper-class society. They all had done one thing pretty secretly. They had tried their best not to let any information about Bai Han leak out, so only the members of the upper class had heard of him. Other than them, nobody knew who he was. ¡°Mr. Bai, nice to meet you. You can just call me by my name,¡± Chu Longyun said hurriedly. Bai Han did not respond but looked at Chu Longyun coldly. ¡°I heard that you have some Blue Star Gems.¡± He went straight to the point without beating around the bush. Chu Longyun had never met someone this straightforward when it came to business. However, he kept the smile on his face, not how surprised he was. ¡°That¡¯s right. Mr. Bai, please come follow me.¡± Chu Longyun asked the waiter to leave and show Bai Han the way. Bai Han followed Chu Longyun all the way to a tea room at the end of the corridor. The teahouse was in a classic style, and almost every decoration inside was made of wood. Even the walls, the lower half, were covered with carved wooden boards, while the upper half was painted in a dark tone, matching the color of the wooden boards below. In addition, there was a shelf on the left side of the room against the wall, on which some elegant luxury goods were placed. The tea table was made of a whole piece of wood, and on both sides of the long side were ancient wooden chairs on which tree rings could be preserved. There was a huge floor-to-ceiling window on one side of the room, and the sunlight shone in from the outside, lightening up the entire tea room. ¡°Mr. Bai, please have a seat.¡± Bai Han flicked his white robe and sat down on a wooden chair. His outfit fitted perfectly with the entire tea room as if he had been prepared. On the other hand, Chu Longyun¡¯s suit and leather shoes seemed somewhat out of place. Upon realizing this, Chu Longyun was embarrassed for a moment but soon calmed down. Bai Han glanced at him. This man was indeed the head of the Chu family, for there was no way to tell that he had been awkward. Chu Longyun had already been to the teahouse before Bai Han, and there was a gift bag next to him. Since Bai Han had cut to the point, Chu Longyun thought there was no need to waste each other¡¯s time. He picked up the gift bag and handed it to him. ¡°It¡¯s for you, Mr. Bai. It happens that we have what you want, so I think these gemstones might be useful for you. I hope you like them,¡± Chu Longyun smiled and explained. Bai Han did not say anything, accepted the gift bag, and took out the things inside. There were four boxes in total, and one of them looked particularly gorgeous. Bai Han opened the box. There was a Blue Star Gem that was even bigger than the one at the auction! In that instant, Bai Han couldn¡¯t control himself. It was a top-tier water elemental gemstone! Although it was not as big as the fire elemental gemstone, it was still half the size of a fist! Bai Han could use this gemstone for nearly a year! Bai Han kept a straight face and tried his best not to show how excited he was. However, he was thrilled like crazy! It was really a blessing in disguise! If Chen Xingqun had not broken the gemstone, he might not have been able to get this water elemental gemstone with a higher purity! Bai Han then opened the other three boxes. Oh my god! They were all water elemental gemstones! Although the quality was not as good as the first one, they were decent. Even on the magic land, they would be fought over! There were three of them! The Chu family had spent an arm and a leg! Chapter 40 - Too Late Chapter 40 Too Late Bai Han couldn¡¯t help but smile. He squinted, closed the box, and placed it back into the gift bag. Immediately after, the gift bag in Bai Han¡¯s hand disappeared. With a flip of his hand, two bottles appeared. ¡°Here¡¯s a bottle of Youth Magic Potion and a bottle of Healing Magic Potion. The two bottles of magic potions in Bai Han¡¯s hands flew to Chu Longyun, who was making tea. Chu Longyun was stunned, quickly put down the tea set in his hands, and picked up the two bottles of medicine. ¡°These are¡­¡± ¡°Keep them.¡± Coming to his senses, Chu Longyun shook his head and took out a black card from his wallet. ¡°Mr. Bai, these Blue Star Gems are a gesture of friendship. As for these two magic potions, I am very honored to have them. However, I would like to pay them. There¡¯s a five billion in this account.¡± The amount of money that Chu Longyun offered was way more than the price of two bottles of magic potions. However, the Chu family had medical-related businesses. In Chu Longyun¡¯s eyes, the value of these two bottles was far beyond five billion. If they could cooperate with Bai Han, the profits that the Chu family would obtain from this would be considerable. That was why Chu Longyun wanted to take the initiative and spend so much. Bai Han squinted, stared at the black card from Chu Longyun for a long time, and finally reached out to take it. ¡°Thank you so much, Mr. Chu.¡± Bai Han thought for a moment and did not refuse Chu Longyun¡¯s card. ¡°I owe your Chu family a favor. Chu Longyun smiled ear to ear when he heard this. Bai Han couldn¡¯t pay his debt of gratitude only with these two bottles of magic potions. Chu Longyun continued to make tea and chat with Bai Han. He poured the tea into the teacup and placed it in front of Bai Han with a pair of tongs. ¡°Mr. Bai, try it. This Longjing was picked before the rain, and it¡¯s our specialty.¡± Bai Han finished the entire cup of tea and didn¡¯t feel much. There was no magic power in the tea, which was completely incomparable to magic tea. It was a pity that Bai Han had left all the magic tea in the villa, so he could not let Chu Longyun taste it. ¡°Mr. Bai, you taught Chen Xingqun a lesson. That¡¯s a good thing for me.¡± Chu Longyun brought up the topic as if he hadn¡¯t planned it. Bai Han was confused. ¡°A good thing?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Chen Xingqun thinks he can do whatever he wants. He had a fight with my son a while ago and lost, so he tinkered with his car.¡± Talking about this matter, Chu Longyun felt the anger burning inside him. What Chen Xingqun had done could have killed his son! A fight was supposed to be something not serious between youngsters, but Chen Xingqun¡¯s action could cause death! However, every member of the Chen family always tried their best to protect Chen Xingqun. Chen Xingqun was the only child of the Chen family, and he was a prince at home. Because of this, Chu Longyun and his wife came to the Chen family, but they were all on Chen Xingqun¡¯s side. Luckily, his son found the issue early, or who knew what could have happened? The Chu family and the Chen family were as powerful as each other, so Chu Longyun was ashamed not to seek justice for his son. He had thought about this matter from time to time, which made him pretty annoyed. This time, Chen Xingqun had messed with the wrong person, so everyone in the Chu family was overjoyed. Bai Han was shocked, but he then soon changed his mind. He had witnessed Chen Xingqun¡¯s arrogant and obnoxious attitude, so it was not surprising that he would do such a thing. He couldn¡¯t have won the item in the auction, so he decided to take it away and destroy it. This incident told Bai Han that his family had turned him into a spoiled pri*k. ¡°He needs someone to teach him a lesson.¡± Bai Han said calmly. ¡°That¡¯s right! That boy needs that!¡± Bai Han finally understood. Half of the reason Chu Longyun tried to make him be on his side and had even spent a great deal of money was that he was the Chen family¡¯s enemy. of my enemy is my friend,¡± he ¡°The enemy thought. No matter what Chu Longyun¡¯s intention was, Bai Han had gained a lot. He was only lacking gold and earth elemental gemstones. Bai Han had found top-tier water, fire, and wood elemental gemstones on earth, so he was confident that he could find the remaining two here as well. After Bai Han left, Chu Longyun stayed in the teahouse. The manager of the teahouse knocked on the door. ¡°Mr. Chu, Mr. Chen is here.¡± Chu Longyun smiled as if he wasn¡¯t surprised. ¡°Let him in.¡± The door to the teahouse was pushed open. Chen Quan opened the door open with an upset face, but he only saw Chu Longyun inside. ¡°Where¡¯s Bai Han?¡± ¡°Mr. Chen, you¡¯re too late. Mr. Bai has already left.¡± Hearing the way Chu Longyun addressed Bai Han, Chen Quan seemed annoyed. ¡°Is Bai Han that powerful? ¡± ¡°Look at what he has done to your son.¡± Chu Longyun¡¯s smile was a stark contrast to Chen Quan¡¯s frustrated expression. The more bitter Chen Quan was, the happier Chu Longyun was. ¡°You did it on purpose.¡± If Chen Quan had not realized this, he would not have been able to be against Chu Longyun for so many years. Chu long tidied up the tea table leisurely. ¡°Yes. Aren¡¯t you looking for Mr. Bai? I did give you a chance. The Chen family should be thanking me.¡± However, it was none of his business that the Chen family hadn¡¯t seized this opportunity. Chen Quan took a deep breath. ¡°Mr. Chu, if you can help us, we will quit the land in the south of the city.¡± Chu Longyun Chen Quan, not knowing what to say. ¡°Chen was truly shocked and looked at Quan, stop spoiling that kid. Let me tell you, everyone is surprised that he hasn¡¯t ruined your family.¡± Why would they spend such a huge sum of money on protecting that piece of trash? Chen Quan¡¯s face turned ashen, for he knew what his son was like. However¡­ ¡°I only have one son. Shouldn¡¯t I protect him?¡± Chu Longyun sneered. Chen Quan gave Chen Xingqun everything he had, but that boy didn¡¯t seem like a grateful person. ¡°No, I won¡¯t help you. Have you forgotten what your son did two years ago? Are you asking for my help now? Chen Quan, are you serious? ¡°Chu Longyun did have a sharp tongue. Chen Quan never knew how to retort. ¡°You¡­!¡± In the end, Chen Quan left in exasperation. Since the Chen family could not make Chu Longyun help them, they decided to put pressure on Song Zhao. Gu Shishi was Bai Han¡¯s disciple now. They didn¡¯t dare to touch her family, so they chose the Song family. The Chen family no longer paid attention to the Gu family and the Lin family. Instead, they attacked the Song family with all their might. The Song family was only a second-rate family. If the Chen family went all out against the Song family, they wouldn¡¯t have much power to resist. Businessmen pursued profits. When the Chen family dealt with the Song, Lin, and Gu families, others were sitting on the sideline. However, the Chen family only targeted the Song family this time. Soon, many of the Song family¡¯s business partners withdrew their investments and cooperation. Some were willing to pay the penalty for breach of contract and withdraw. As for the projects that were in discussion, all of them had failed. No one was willing to offend the Chen family for the sake of the Song family. While Song Zhao had his hands full, Liu de came to the Song family¡¯s mansion.
