Imperious looked at Chad sincerely, then licked his finger. The next moment, his eyes widened."Damn! Are you kidding me? It really is the rebirth elixir!"Chad suddenly felt uneasy. Imperious was looking at him, saliva dripping from his mouth.Just as Imperious was about to open his mouth wide, Chad shouted, "I do have the rebirth elixir. If you trust me, come with me. If I can't produce it, you can eat me."Slap!Unexpectedly, Imperious slapped Chad's head, cursing angrily."Trust you? Screw that! I don't want to eat you! You have a body that achieved Immortal Unity! I can exchange your body for many amazing things!"As he spoke, he waved the Frost Peony in his hand, showing how much he cherished it."You brat! You actually have such an amazing artifact. You're really lucky!"Chad did not argue back or dare to speak out of turn. He just repeatedly said, "Come with me to Bloomington. If I can't produce the rebirth elixir, you can do whatever you want with me. Besides... With
Chad was in a sorry state; his whole body ached as if it had been dismantled.He sat on the ground, resting for a long time before finally standing up."You're quite something, kid. I've beaten you to a pulp, yet not a single bone is broken. Impressive!" Imperious reverted to his old man appearance, hands behind his back, and watched Chad with interest."Your strength is impressive, but..."Chad tried to move his limbs and wanted to retort, but his words froze halfway. Recalling the scenes of being passively beaten before, Chad noticed something unusual.Among the earthbound immortals, the Mystics had many branches of power, including the Grand Golden Immortals, who specialized in strength.It was said that when the Grand Golden Immortals reached mastery, they possessed tremendous strength to move mountains.A Grand Golden Immortal had just trampled him, yet he could still stand up, which was indeed abnormal.Seeing Chad's puzzled and doubtful expression, Imperious' interest in
Imperious heard that and quickly said, "Hey, you said it yourself, so now I'll stick to you and not leave!"Chad nodded with a smile. "Of course!"Chad wanted a monster trained to the level of a Grand Golden Immortal by his side.Imperious asked, "Can I go anywhere here?"Chad made a welcoming gesture. "Please do."Imperious could not believe his ears. With a cheer, he rushed toward the depths of the Mystic Archive world.Two hours later, Imperious's primordial spirit finally emerged from Chad's Mystic Archive.Shortly after, Chad also emerged from his meditative state, moving his body to recover a bit."That was exhilarating! I've never seen such a massive Mystic Archive! You, kid, are a treasure. I'm sticking with you," Imperious exclaimed.Chad smiled but remained silent, preparing to return the way they came.Before leaving, he took a final look at Lord Second and Lord Fifth. They seemed to have entered a deep sleep, losing their connection to the outside world.Imperiou
"If I wanted to hog everything, that kid would already be dead. I suggest you leave now and don't seek your own death!" Imperious said with a smile, but the young man felt a trace of fear as he stared coldly at the old man.Ding!The elevator doors opened, and they stepped out, transferring to the same elevator. Almost simultaneously, they both pressed the same floor button.Imperious grabbed the young man's hand. "Go back! I'm an old acquaintance of your patriarch, Joira. I don't want to harm his disciples."Hearing the name Joira, the young man shivered and looked at the old man, stunned.The man was regarded as one of the most talented cultivators in the past 50 years. He became a sage at the age of eighteen and has since consolidated his power on Maudare Highland.He would not have resorted to assassination if he did not need an elixir for a breakthrough.However, the small, skinny old man in front of him gave off an overwhelming sense of pressure.Gathering his courage, th
Yet, the best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry, and Manny had ended up dead.As they stepped out, Youlee turned to Chad and said, "It's about time we left, don't you think?"Chad nodded, then saw a message from Maurice on his phone. It contained information about what happened the previous night, including some photos of the corpses.Chad was shocked, realizing that Imperious had thought of everything."Alright, if everyone's ready, let's go!" he said.They went downstairs and, under Maurice's arrangements, left by car.On the high-speed train, Chad received a video from Maurice. It was footage from the Williams Group's shareholders' meeting.In the meeting, Mystic Group became the largest shareholder of Williams Group, which was what Chad had hoped for.Even the governor of Haron City was present, which explained why the city had been under lockdown. The governor, on behalf of the city government, had become the second-largest shareholder of Williams Group.Indeed, ma
"The Long family is here. I'll ask them directly."Chad hung up the phone and opened the door. The father-son duo from the Long family was excited to see him and rushed to shake his hand."Dr. Jennings, we've finally found you. This is our third visit," Stanley said, explaining the situation at home.He concealed some details, only mentioning that Michael had suddenly fallen ill with a strange disease and that Sheldon was not in the capital, so they had to bring Michael back to Bloomington.After Stanley finished speaking, Chad said, "I can't say if I can treat him without seeing the patient first. I need to know what exactly he's suffering from."Excited by that, Calvin exclaimed, "Dr. Jennings, does this mean you'll take a look? That's wonderful! As long as you can cure my brother, we'll get you anything you need."Chad smiled. "I appreciate your offer. Let me see the patient first."Chad got into the car and was taken to the Long family estate in Bloomington. That was his sec
The fungus entered the human body through wounds and parasitized the blood. Then, it would travel to the brain via the bloodstream.Eventually, the fungus proliferated in the brain, slowly taking control of the person and turning them into a puppet of the fungus.The biological community had discovered many cases of that type of fungus, such as zombie deers found in Europe and North America, which were infected by a fungus that only affected deer.However, Chad could not think of a way to treat it. The human body was like a car, and the brain was the driver. The car was fine, but the driver had been replaced."Dr. Jennings, please save Michael!"Sandra suddenly appeared and knelt in front of Chad.Bang!Stanley did not expect her to return as well. He suppressed his anger and did not have a direct confrontation with her. Instead, he slammed the door and left.The other Long family members looked displeased as they looked at Sandra with murderous intent."Kneeling won't help. A
"Wait!" Clutching his bitten arm, Frederick asked, "Can't he be treated here?"Chad glanced at Frederick. "What? He can't leave the household? If that's the case, then you'll need to find someone else."Benjamin sneered, "Hmph, if you can't cure him, just admit it. Stop pretending like you can."Roar! Roar!Bang! Bang! Bang!There was the sound of someone banging on the door from inside the room. Michael was frantically banging against it.It frightened Benjamin so much that he ran straight to the gates."That's a zombie. He's not a living person anymore. There's no cure for it. If you ask me, just shoot him in the head and be done with it!"The place fell silent, and everyone looked at Benjamin.No one came forward to refute Benjamin's words. All of them remained silent.Chad ignored Benjamin and pulled Frederick's arm to examine the wound.From his Clairvoyant Eye, Chad quickly discovered that the wound was covered in black energy.He saw something slowly wriggling inside
