However, Liam retorted firmly, "I don't know. I'm not a Mystic!""Fine! Since you claim that you don't know, I'll tell you. This is a Gold Energy Pill!"Chad spoke each word slowly as his anger reached its peak. Even his voice shook. "This pill is revered as an immortal pill by martial artists, and the material for refining the pill is humans, specifically females!"Liam's grip on the evidence bag tightened, and his expression froze. "I'm leaving now. I'll contact you when we have the results!"Chad stopped him. "If you're going to compare the DNA, then forget it. You won't be able to find a match."Liam said, "How do I know if I don't try? And I need to confirm that this pill has human tissue."Could he really confirm it?Chad did not know. After all, the process and principles of refining pills involved extracting the essence from medicinal herbs.After the essence was extracted, the residual dregs would not be included in the pills.However, the Gold Energy Pill was differe
Police sirens wailed as they approached the apartment complex across from Bellnuite's headquarters.Chad had told Weldon to follow behind in the car because he feared Winston would become violent.An earthbound immortal was not someone the average person could handle.Even though all the security officers were armed and had the potential to harm an earthbound immortal, they needed first to hit their target.The power of the Mystics could not make someone impervious to weapons, but it could sharpen one's perception.They could anticipate danger and avoid areas where danger could occur.However, when they arrived, Chad saw where Winston lived. He could not help but feel his heart tremble.He lived next door to Matilda, which made Chad concerned about her.Even though they had divorced, Chad, her ex-husband, was concerned about her safety.So Chad called Matilda and asked, "Where are you?"Matilda was in the Digital Tower, looking at the offices.She intended to rent a large sp
Chad knew Liam's character well. He was very conservative in critical moments.At that moment, he would not break the rules, so Chad stepped forward and said, "I'll go in!"After he said that, he walked right in, ignoring Liam's attempts to stop him.Chad felt a strange spiritual fluctuation in the room.With his Clairvoyant Eye, he saw various colors of aura pervading the room!It looked like a person's aura had been shattered into powder and scattered throughout the space.Moreover, all the powder light came from one room.Chad approached the room's door and pushed it open. It was still neat inside, but there were things present that should not have been there—a millstone, a grinder, and a blue-and-white porcelain furnace!Those things confirmed Chad's suspicions.Instead of entering the room, Chad shouted, "You can come in now. He's the culprit!"Hearing such a definite statement, Liam immediately rushed into the room with his men.Professional personnel quickly arrived a
"Matilda, I'm more suitable for you than Chad. Why do you insist on remarrying him?"Matilda sent the message while Winston was watching beside her."You're a good guy, but I don't like your type. Otherwise, I'd have chosen you back then."Matilda took Marilyn's arm and asked the beautiful agent from the real estate agency, "How much per year? I'll rent it!""Ms. Sachs, Digital Tower is located at one of the best—"The agent just started, but Matilda interrupted her. "I only want to hear the price. You have one chance. Think carefully before you speak, and don't mention anything else."As the founder of Bellenuite, Matilda had experience dealing with such matters.The beautiful agent hesitated momentarily, feeling conflicted for a long time. She said, "It's at least 140,000 dollars for a thousand square meters of a large office space in this location.""Let's go!"Unexpectedly, after hearing the price, Matilda grabbed Marilyn and walked away.The agent did not expect Matilda
"Alright! I want to celebrate at the most expensive place in Bloomington!""Okay, I'll follow your lead!"Winston smiled as he accompanied Matilda and Marilyn to the lobby on the first floor.Just as they came out, they saw the lobby crowded with police officers.Winston subconsciously reached into his jacket pocket.The talismans that were supposed to be in his pocket had turned to ashes.Liam took the lead and went directly to Winston, saying, "Winston Jovy, you're under arrest."Winston did not explain anything but looked at Matilda and said with a smile, "Looks like I can't fulfill that promise!"Matilda froze in place, not understanding what was happening.Winston cooperatively put on the handcuffs and was taken away by the police officers. Only then did Chad appear.Matilda looked at Chad and suddenly realized what was going on.She angrily said, "I dislike Winston, but you don't have to play dirty for this! Is there any reason to do that?""I don't know what you're t
"How deep is this place?" Chad climbed down the ladder on the well wall, but it seemed to have no end.Weldon said, "The air-raid shelters in Bloomington are well-known nationwide. They say it can accommodate up to 500,000 people, and underneath is a super-large reservoir used to store drinking water."Swoosh!Suddenly, there was a sound of something breaking the wind, which startled Chad. He quickly asked, "Did something fall?"Weldon replied, "Must have been a stone."However, after a long time, there was no sound of the stone landing.Chad exclaimed, "Is it that deep? Why can't we hear the sound of it landing?"Weldon remained silent. Chad suddenly realized the problem.The fragrance of perfume was in the air, suggesting the presence of a woman.Then Weldon said, "Fifty meters!""What do you mean?" Chad asked."I mean, the water reservoir in the air-raid shelter is 50 meters deep. At the bottom, there's often an underground river."Weldon continued to climb down, introdu
Both sides were in a deadlock, eager to see who would give in first.With a third party appearing, in the confusion of not knowing friend from foe, no one dared to make a move.However, Monte was decisive. After shouting for their retreat, he immediately prepared to leave.Monte led his men to run up from the bottom of the pit as if it were level ground, disappearing into the air-raid shelter."No!"Meanwhile, Dark Phoenix, who had been hiding in the shadows, saw Monte and his group preparing to leave and chased after them.At that moment, Chad shouted, "Old Dog, are you alright?""Kid, it's you! I'm fine. Just wait for a bit. I'll have Lord Fifth and Miss Sixth bring us up!"Doug's voice could be heard from the bottom of the pit, then two giant pythons climbed out, each carrying a person on its back.Through his Clairvoyant Eye, Chad saw that Doug and the two giant pythons' auras were weak, indicating they were significantly spent.Several people lay in disarray, already dea
No! It was not Youlee. She was not even an immortal, let alone a sage.However, no one was a sage among Chad's friends and relatives! Could Doug be mistaken?Seeing Chad's puzzled expression, Doug seemed to understand something and coughed lightly."Don't overthink it, kid. Let's go! Let Lord Fifth and Miss Sixth take us away from here!"A few minutes later, the giant pythons carried them back to the cave entrance. Lord Fifth did not come out. Instead, it went deeper into the air-raid shelter.After Miss Sixth possessed Janice, the original giant python body also crawled back into the air-raid shelter.Chad called Marilyn on his phone. "Marilyn, bring the car over."Not long after that, Marilyn arrived in the car.Doug smiled in understanding when he saw Marilyn; he was sure Chad had no idea.It was evident that Marilyn had something suppressing her strength, or Chad would have noticed it a long time ago.After they sent Doug back, the man stopped them just before they drove
As Chad sat in meditation on Decaying Peaks, a faint, glowing white immortal crown slowly appeared behind his head. When that immortal crown manifested, a quake occurred everywhere outside Mount Causabour. The frequency of those tremors was extremely high, and everyone could clearly feel them. The vast area they covered included the entire Hacniane. It was as if some ancient seal in the vast sky had been triggered.Chad opened his eyes in shock amid his breakthrough, realizing that the impending heavenly punishment seemed to be directed at him and the millions of mystical beings beneath Mount Causabour.Suddenly, a thunderous voice erupted in the sky, as loud as a bolt of lightning:"Cut off the road to the heavens, seal the underworld; a red banner halts a million immortals, and a red star exterminates ghosts and demons!"Sever Yggdrasil, raise the grand array; a handful of Evergrow blocks the celestial river, and the vast multiverse bows to humanity!"By decree, this is a real
Sir Holt anxiously looked up at the sky as the tribulation clouds suddenly began to churn violently.Crack! Crack! Crack!At that moment, the first bolt of heavenly punishment finally struck.However, that bolt of divine lightning fell upon the mirage of the Mystic Archive, where it disappeared without a trace. The entire Mount Causabour shook a few times, and everyone could feel a soothing sensation within the mountain.Anyone who felt this would experience a surge of confidence deep within, and any discomfort they felt in their bodies seemed to improve significantly.On Decaying Peaks, that sensation was even more pronounced, and more and more people began to manifest the immortal crown behind their heads. In just a few minutes, nearly everyone on Decaying Peaks, hundreds of people in total, had an immortal crown appear behind them.That included Flynn and Harvey, who were sitting on the outskirts of Decaying Peaks. They, too, had immortal crowns appear behind their heads.How
Sir Holt and Zayan looked up at the sky with expressionless faces, though their hearts were in turmoil. Within the rolling clouds, faint traces of multicolored light shimmered.As time passed, the colorful lights appeared more frequently, as if gradually consuming the clouds."Such intense ascension light—there must be tens of thousands ascending!""There are probably more. The latest statistics show that 264,777 people have entered Mount Causabour!""Over 260,000? How did so many people get here?"Zayan looked at Sir Holt in shock, and Sir Holt turned his gaze toward the winding mountain road leading into the area."There are still many more people outside trying to get in, but the place is already so crowded that they can't fit."Zayan looked with concern toward the entrance to the mountain. "Won't those stuck on the road cause a disturbance?""They won't!" Sir Holt said with certainty. "Unless they're fools, they've probably already started meditating where they are. Even if
Among the 250,000 people, quite a few were not actually autistic patients. After sleeping for two full days, Chad woke up and realized that possibility. He carefully considered the potential issues that might arise during the process and decided to issue an announcement."The treatment will begin shortly. Non-autistic patients are advised to leave the Mount Causabour area to avoid unnecessary complications."That announcement was broadcast three times through loudspeakers positioned throughout Mount Causabour. Finally, the loudspeaker voice declared, "The treatment will officially begin in one hour!"At the same time, Chad made his way to the Decaying Peaks, the summit of Mount Causabour, where an over-century-old pavilion stood.Entering the pavilion, Chad sat down in a meditative position. Soon, he noticed a dense crowd gathering around the pavilion, all sitting in meditation poses around him.As Chad glanced over those people, he recognized several familiar faces. The people ar
Mount Causabour Medical Center, built halfway up Mount Causabour, was a sizable palace-style complex with three courtyards. The center was constructed along the mountain's slope, extending all the way to the base of the Decaying Peaks. Flynn and Harvey were placed in the innermost courtyard, suggesting that their grandfather, Fenton Cooper, likely knew some inside information but had not shared it with his grandsons.On that day, the Hacniane Cabinet issued several announcements. First, they created separate legislation for ability users and cultivators to regulate their powers. Second, they planned to designate special zones in each city for ability users and Mystics, separating them from ordinary people. Lastly, they urgently introduced the Sixteen Temporary Rules for Ability Users and Mystic Practitioners to regulate their behavior.Those announcements seemed like they were aimed at restricting ability users, but in reality, they were meant to reassure ordinary people, ensurin
A massive leap in the realm could bring unimaginable fortune to the dragon vein, potentially altering Hacniane's fate.That was also Chad's grand gift to the two elders, using the sudden surge in the dragon vein's power to help Hacniane avoid the impending catastrophe triggered by the nuclear explosion of the firmament.Earlier that day, through Chad's Clairvoyant Eye, he saw Kennington shrouded in a faint gray-black mist. Chad did not know what it was but felt it resembled Evergrow, yet not quite the same.However, Chad was certain that accidents would surely happen if ordinary people were exposed to it in large quantities. As a Mystic, he could already feel its effects on his body.At that moment, Sir Holt got into the car, looking at Chad with a solemn expression. "Kid, give me the bottom line!"After careful consideration, Chad laid out his thoughts. Upon hearing them, Sir Holt began to tremble. According to Chad, he would need to mobilize at least 100,000 troops to ensure the
Having a Mystic Archive and unlocking a Mystic Archive were two different matters. Only a handful of people were recorded to have a Mystic Archive throughout history. There were only two earliest verifiable individuals with documented works still in existence.The first was Hugo Gerant, a renowned physician from an ancient empire, a practitioner of Mystic Therapeutics, and an alchemist. His surviving medical works include The Hundred Letters, Gerant's Emergency Treatments, and the famous Embracing Simplicity.After his death, several notable physicians throughout history have inadvertently inherited his Mystic Archive, but none have fully inherited it. It was said that Mystics knew the method to obtain Gerant's Mystic Archive a thousand years ago, but that knowledge had since been lost.The second individual is Damian Lotin, a figure from another ancient dynasty. He left behind many works, including one titled The Whisper of the Blue Plant.Aside from them, other people who possess
Chad gave them a cold smile. "Extract the immortal bone to cure the illness.""No! Absolutely not! I won't allow it!""Me neither. There's no way we can let that happen!"The entire room erupted into panic. Some even tried to attack Chad, but they were quickly subdued.Chad looked at them and said, "Then tell me the truth.""I'll speak! I failed my tribulation and fell from the celestial realm. I used to have nine crowns, but now I'm down to five...""And me! I also fell from the celestial realm after failing my tribulation. Now I only have three crowns...""I disguised myself as one of the wounded soldiers and was brought here. After losing all my cultivation, I've since regained two crowns!""I was brought back from the firmament by my husband. After we arrived here, I lost all my cultivation and never practiced again. We had a child later, and he was perfectly normal, but I never expected my grandson to..."As those people spoke, Zayan and Sir Holt were stunned! Those peopl
"You know the cause of the illness?"Zayan was shocked, almost in disbelief."Do you realize this child is the same age as you? Even your master examined him but couldn't find the cause!"Chad nodded and said, "But I do know, and I have a bold theory—that the cause of autism in all these children might be the same..."As he spoke, some thoughts suddenly flashed through Chad's mind, shocking even him, leading him to say, "And I suspect this might be related to the increasing number of ability users and cultivators over the past century!""Really?!"Zayan grabbed Chad's arm, hardly believing what he was hearing.However, Chad spoke with firm conviction, "It's very likely true, but I need to see more children with autism.""Wait here; I'll make arrangements right away!"Soon, Chad and his group arrived at the largest hospital in Kennington, the Ninth Military District Hospital, and Xyder was also brought along. Chad saw hundreds of children with autism there!Before entering the
