Chapter 9


    “Mr. Chance, just let me know what you need. As long as I can fulfill it, I will not refuse,” William quickly


    dered. At that moment, Josephine queried, “Mr. Chance, what do you need the calligraphy brush


    and cinnabar rosary for?” After all, both items didn’t look like they were required for medical treatment,


    and they were also widely avable. “Josephine, Mr. Chance has his reasons for writing them down.


    You shouldn’t question him!” William admonished her with a re. “It’s all right.” Jared smiled. “They


    are used for treatments, too. However, they aren’t just any ordinary brush and rosary.


    They have to be imbued with spirituality for them to work.” “Imbued with spirituality?” Josephine and


    William were dumbfounded, as they had no idea what Jared meant. When he saw how confused they


    were, Jared exined, “Everything in this world will live and die, and all of them contain spirituality.


    Even items deemed inanimate by men can have spirituality as well. However, it can only form under


    very strict conditions.

    “Let’s take this chair I’m sitting on as an example. If I sit on it and meditate for decades, it would


    gradually be imbued with spirituality too.” Worried that both of them would not understand, he illustrated


    the concept inyman’s terms. “Oh, I get it!” Josephine suddenly eximed. “Mr. Chance, are you


    saying that it’s the same as what is shown on TV? At one of the trees where the immortals reside, it will


    gain spirituality after some time and even turn into a human form!”


    “Josephine, stop your nonsense!” William was speechless at the way Josephine described it. From his


    perspective, immortals didn’t exist, especially not in the modern world. “Ms. Sullivan, you hit the nail on


    its head,” Jared replied with a grin. Previously, Jared didn’t believe in such things too. However, after


    spending thest three years with Draco, he finally realized that there was still a lot out there that he


    didn’t understand. In fact, the secrets Draco had passed on to him were the Focus Technique. As long


    as he continued to train in them, he might actually be an immortal.


    William smiled awkwardly, as he didn’t expect Josephine to get it right. If anyone else talked to him


    about spirituality and immortals, he would have scoffed at them. However, since it was Jared who


    brought it up, William’s skepticism wavered immediately. While Jared and William continued their


    discussion, they didn’t even give Jonathan, who was still kneeling on the ground, a look. Even though


    Jonathan was not particrly evil, he was unable to take on any real responsibility. Hence, Jared didn’t


    intend to ept him as his student. Moreover, he would not simply take in anyone without Draco’s


    permission.


    After talking for more than ten minutes, Jared finally knew how William injured himself. When he was


    young, William was hit by a palm strike by a businesspetitor. As there was no external wound, and


    the results of his checkups were clear, he didn’t pay much attention to it. As time went by, William


    began to feel that he was growing weaker to the extent of having difficulty breathing. As a result, he


    kept himself going all this while by consuming a lot of health supplements.


    Not wanting to cause any concern to his family, William hid the news from them. That was also why


    Josephine was unaware of her father’s hidden ailment. After hearing the story, Jared realized at once


    that the attacker was a martial artist who had managed to cultivate internal energy. From the looks of it,


    he had wanted to kill William. Fortunately, William’s immense wealth had allowed him to afford potent


    health supplements to keep himself alive all this while.


    If William had not encountered Jared, he would have lost his life. “Mr. Chance, please ept me as


    your student!” Jonathan yelled again from the floor. By then, both his legs were so numb that he


    grimaced in pain. Jared gave Jonathan a look. “You should get up. I won’t ept anyone as my


    student, but feel free to ask me any questions, and I will guide you ordingly.” Jared was finally


    moved by Jonathan’s sincerity after watching him prostrate for such a long time.


    Therefore, he agreed to provide guidance even though he refused to take in students. Jonathan was


    naturally delighted with Jared’s response and thanked him profusely, “Thank you, Mr. Chance! Thank


    you!” As Jonathan gradually stood up, his legs hurt so much that he struggled to do so. Noticing


    Jonathan’s condition, Jared gently tapped on Jonathan’s leg, causing the painful numbness to


    disappear. Naturally, the doctor was astonished.


    “Mr. Sullivan, my parents are still at home, so I have to return to them. Once you have collected the


    herbs, you can give me a call,” Jared informed as he gradually got to his feet. Given that his mother


    was home alone, Jared was worried about her. “Mr. Chance, do you mind telling me where you stay?”


    William asked. “I’m staying at Happy Avenue. Why?” Jared questioned curiously. “Oh, nothing really. I


    just have a house that’s currently vacant, which I want to present to you as a gift.


    That ce has a wonderful environment to recuperate in, and I hope it will be of use to you.” When he


    was done speaking, William took out a key from his pocket. “Thank you, Mr. Sullivan!” Initially, Jared


    wanted to decline, as he was not motivated by mary gains when he first treated William.


    However, when he thought about the dpidated house his parents were staying in, he decided to


    ept it. Moreover, he needed time to make enough money to afford a new one. However, Jared was


    stunned to find out that the mansion was located at Dragon Bay when he received the key.
