After watching Aurora leave the house, Charlie took the medicinal materials she sent and headed to the bedroom on the second floor that he shared with ire. The supplies Aurora provided were sufficient for him to create a batch of healing pills and a batch of rejuvenating pills.
Although the healing pills no longer held value for him, they were highly effective for ordinary people. Jasmine had survived an ident in Japan thanks to one of these pills.
Thus, Charlie decided to refine a batch of healing pills to give to individuals like Mr. Quinton, Mr. White, Travis Lane, and Dr. Simmons, as a gesture of gratitude for the gifts they had bestowed upon him in the past. Regarding the Rejuvenation Pills, he intended to produce another batch, reserving one for Mr. Quinton and keeping the rest for emergencies.
In the span of one afternoon, Charlie sessfully refined a set of ordinary healing pills and thirty rejuvenating pills.
As he gazed at the freshly created pills, a thought crossed Charlie’s mind about his mother-inw, ine.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
For a minor injury like a broken leg, just a quarter of a healing pill would suffice for her recovery. With thirty pills in hand, he realized that he could potentially mend her leg up to 120 times. This led Charlie to contemte whether he should give her some medicine to aid her recovery sooner.
However, after a moment’s reflection, he quickly dismissed the notion, muttering to himself, “Forget it, she’s not worthy!”
…
Meanwhile, while Charlie was upied with refining the pills, Lord Thorne, located in Eastcliff, was making a call to Orion Exeor, who was positioned on the other side of the ocean.
Orion Exeor, nearly a century old, retained his vitality thanks to the Rejuvenation Pill he had taken. He was an early riser, starting his day at five in the morning with a set of Taijiquan exercises to maintain his health. Following his routine, he would retire to his study to perform a simple divination using three ancient coins. This method, which leverages the principles of the six lines and eight trigrams, is amon practice. Unlike many Feng Shui masters, Orion’s coins were treasures in their own right.
The most significant of the three was a priceless Warring States coin, with the other two being exceedingly rare. Many enthusiasts of ancient coins might go a lifetime without encountering even one of these. Just as he finished interpreting a hexagram and reflecting on the meanings of the copper coinsid out before him, Lord Thorne’s call came through.
Orion answered the phone, a slight smile gracing his face. “I was just pondering why today’s hexagram resembles an elderly figure, with an image that feels separated by vast distances. Then your call came through.”<fncb8c> N?w ?ovel chapt?rs are published on find?novel</fncb8c>
Lord Thorne sighed in admiration. “Master Exeor, your insights are truly impressive.”
“No need for such formalities, Lord Thorne. What brings you to call so early?” Orion replied warmly.
Lord Thorne quickly exined, “Master Exeor, I have a granddaughter who has longed to find her savior. Despite her extensive search, she hase up empty-handed. I’d like to ask for your assistance in providing her with some guidance, if it’s not too much trouble.”
Orion chuckled, “Your granddaughter must know how to repay kindness. Please provide me with her birth date and any relevant details surrounding her rescue, and I’ll see what I can discern.” Lord Thorne promptly shared Zara’s birth date along with the timeline of her kidnapping alongside Fitz in Japan.
Orion contemted, “The incident took ce in Japan, which lies to the east of China. In Feng Shui, the east is associated with the azure dragon…” He then proceeded to focus intently, grasping the ancient coins on the table. Closing his eyes, he shook the coins in his palm for a moment before casting them down.
The results caused his brow to furrow as he remarked, “Interesting! Your granddaughter’s hexagram hints at a search for a dragon!”
“Searching for a dragon?!” Lord Thorne eximed, intrigued. “Master Exeor, what do you mean by that?”
Orion responded with seriousness, “The term ‘searching’ signifies exactly that, while ‘dragon’ refers to the Drago, the genuine dragon of this world. This hexagram indicates that the individual your granddaughter is seeking possesses a remarkable destiny, making them rare and not easily found!”
