Chapter 254: Chapter 0254: The Situation is Bad (Sixteenth Update)

The dragon has always been a totemic symbol in Huaxia, so one can imagine how immense the shock would be when a person living in modern society sees a living dragon one day!

But Chu Ge simply waved his hand and the White Dragon dispersed in an instant.

"It was just a manifestation of Spiritual Energy. It’s merely superficial and hasn’t developed its own Spiritual Wisdom yet, so it’s not too miraculous," Chu Ge said with a shake of his head and a smile, addressing the few people who were utterly dumbstruck.

It was only then that they slowly recovered from their astonishment, but their gazes towards Chu Ge had completely changed.

If their look was initially a mix of respect with a trace of fear, now they were utterly astonished and in awe.

Just then, Mr. Sima suddenly said in a soft voice, "Just now, Mr. Chu said that the Jiao Long shaped by Spiritual Energy hasn’t developed its own Spiritual Wisdom—does that mean, according to Mr. Chu, that it could actually develop Spiritual Wisdom?"

"That’s correct." Chu Ge did not hide anything and directly replied, "In ancient times, powerful beings could bestow life onto mountains, rivers, plants, and insects, giving birth to Spiritual Wisdom in them, even allowing Spiritual Energy to develop Spiritual Wisdom and eventually materialize."

"This..."

The group exchanged glances, each seeing the incredulous and utterly shocked expressions in the others’ eyes; after all, what Chu Ge was talking about seemed to go beyond the realm of Ancient Martial arts.

In fact, Chu Ge had not really seen such things himself; these were only recorded in All Spirits Return to One.

"By the way, the three of you have been a great help to me this time, it would be impossible for me not to show my gratitude."

Saying this, Chu Ge stepped back several paces, dug up the soil where he had been standing, and took out three Jade Pendants.

These three Jade Pendants had previously been cleansed by his body’s True Qi and the rising Spiritual Energy from the ground, completely changing their appearance; now they looked impeccable, emanating a hazy white light, and appeared dreamy and illusory.

Even someone with no knowledge of jade could tell that these three Jade Pendants were indeed rare treasures!

"These Jade Pendants, after being cleansed by Spiritual Energy and containing a substantial amount of it, can be carried with you to extend your lifespan, ward off illnesses, and even potentially elevate someone with talent into the ranks of Martial Artists, increasing life expectancy by decades," Chu Ge declared.

Upon hearing these words, the faces of the three men changed.

After all, at their stage, they had power and wealth; the only thing left was their own health.

Various underlying health issues from their youth had all surfaced now that they were older. Even Mr. Ouyang, who had been treated by Chu Ge, couldn’t help but reveal a hint of eagerness in his eyes.

After all, the prospect of extending life was incredibly alluring to these old men who were almost beyond their seventies!

Xiahou Longhu took the Jade Pendant but did not hang it on himself, instead, he asked with a hopeful look, "Mr. Chu, you mentioned that these Jade Pendants can prevent all illnesses and prolong life, I wonder..."

Chu Ge naturally understood what he wanted to ask. Before Xiahou Longhu could finish speaking, Chu Ge shook his head and said, "It’s not possible. Mr. Xiahou’s health condition has already been explained to me by the two Old Masters. My initial judgment is that it’s not caused by any common illness, so the Jade Pendant can’t help him much. However, wearing it could indeed prolong his life for a while."

"Is that so." Xiahou Longhu couldn’t hide his look of disappointment upon hearing Chu Ge’s words, but he concealed it instantly; after all, the prospect of extended life was a nice surprise, big or small.

Seeing this reaction, Chu Ge nodded and said, "Don’t worry, when I find the time, I will personally go and treat Mr. Xiahou’s health."

Xiahou Longhu’s expression brightened, and he hastily said, "Then we would be extremely grateful to Mr. Chu. Please rest assured, whether successful or not, the Xiahou family will always remember Mr. Chu’s kindness."

It must be said that Xiahou Longhu really knew how to conduct himself.

Now that the Ten Thousand Spirit Returning Array set up in the estate was finished, every corner of it was under Chu Ge’s surveillance from now on.

After dismantling the Array, they prepared to leave.

Leaving the manor, it was just around noon, but strangely enough, it seemed as if the pedestrians outside the manor had not noticed the commotion that had just taken place inside.

Noticing the puzzled looks in the eyes of a few people, Chu Ge laughed and said, "It was just a minor Blinding Technique. Those things just now could only be seen after entering the manor and once I activated the Array."

"I see."

The few people nodded, and Xiahou Longhu said, "It’s just in time for lunch. I’ll make a reservation. How about Mr. Chu stays and we grab a quick meal together?"

Chu Ge thought for a moment and, since he didn’t really have anything to do at the moment, was just about to agree when his phone suddenly rang.

He took out his phone and looked at it, pausing at the number displayed on the screen.

"Ah Hu? Why is he calling me?"

Logically speaking, after dealing with Poison Snake, there shouldn’t be any more trouble from Ah Hu’s side.

Suddenly, Chu Ge had a movement in his mind, guessing a possibility. After signalling to the others, he walked aside with the phone.

"Hello, Mr. Chu?" came a weak voice over the phone.

As soon as Chu Ge heard this voice, his expression changed. He hadn’t expected his guess to turn into reality.

"Huo Tianqian? You’re back?"

Indeed, the person calling was Huo Tianqian, who had disappeared for over a month!

"Yeah." Huo Tianqian let out a wry laugh over the phone, "Fortunately, I have a strong will to live and have made it back alive."

"Mhm."

Chu Ge fell silent for a few seconds, then said, "I suppose you have a lot to tell me. It’s inconvenient over the phone. Where are you? I’ll come over now."

"Sure." Huo Tianqian, on the other end of the phone, did not hesitate and said, "I’m at the villa in the suburbs. I’ll send someone to pick you up, Mr. Chu."

"Mhm." Chu Ge nodded.

Seeing Chu Ge hanging up and walking over, the few people exchanged glances, and Mr. Sima laughed, "Mr. Chu?"

"Sorry about this." Chu Ge smiled apologetically at them, "Something’s come up on my end. We’ll have a chance next time."

"That’s fine, after all, having a meal is just a matter of sooner or later." Mr. Ouyang nodded and said, "Then we won’t disturb Mr. Chu any longer. Let’s talk next time."

"Alright."

After seeing off the group, Chu Ge immediately sent his location to Huo Tianqian.

In less than half an hour, a black S-Class Mercedes came to a stop at the entrance of the manor and Ah Hu got out of the car.

"Mr. Chu!"

"Mhm." Chu Ge didn’t delay and simply bowed his head to get into the car, "How is Huo Tianqian?"

Ah Hu started the car and after a few seconds of silence, he said, "Master Huo’s current situation... is very bad!"
