Wilbur frowned. "Come on. I'm not the bad guy here."
"You're as bad as one can get! I know what you're up to!" The girl cried out in rage.
Wilbur sighed. Benjamin uttered at that moment, "Leave us alone."
The girl was aggrieved but still stomped out with tears in her tears.
Benjamin turned to look at Wilbur. "That's my granddaughter, Susie. She's still young. Please don't mind her."
"That's alright. Why do you have so much trust in me, Mister Grayson?" Wilbur asked.
Benjamin smiled. "I'm in my seventies, and I've seen a lot. There is a lot left unknown in the world out there, and I know I'm too old to find out what they are. However, I do believe that there are things I don't know of. More importantly, anyone dying would want a chance to live on. I'm no exception."
"That's very honest of you. Let's begin, then," Wilbur said smilingly.
Benjamin smiled as he stripped off his shirt to reveal a torso covered in scars.
There were more than ten scars from knife wounds and a few more from bullets. There wasn't a single part of his body that was intact. It was a terrifying sight.
Wilbur sighed and uttered, "You've worked really hard."
"Oh, it's nothing. I was just making a living as a poor man too. I'm not as great as that kid makes me out to be," Benjamin said nonchalantly.
Wilbur smiled. He placed a palm against Benjamin's back and slowly channeled a wave of spirit energy into his body.
Wilbur then guided the spirit energy around Benjamin's body carefully. "Remember this energy path and do the same in the future."
Benjamin nodded, and Wilbur continued.
After the energy had traveled thirty-six rounds, Wilbur slowly removed his hands.
Just then, Benjamin let out a deep breath, and shock was written all over his face.
He could feel that his breathing was completely smooth, devoid of the dull underlying feeling from before. On top of that, he felt lighter overall as well, as if all of his cells were revitalized with vigor.
He slowly got up and bowed deeply to Wilbur. "You are a miracle worker."
Wilbur hurried to help him up. "I’m flattered."
Benjamin sat down again, feeling impressed and shocked. "You're a miracle worker. I can't believe I’ve lived long enough to witness a miracle myself."
"Mister Grayson, can you ask for a pen and paper? I'll write down the cultivation method for you."
Benjamin waved his hand, and a servant showed up at once with a pen and paper in tow.
Wilbur contemplated for a moment before he wrote something on the paper.
A while later, he said, "This is a simplified version of the beginner's Dragon Chant that I cultivated. Follow this, and you'll be immune to all diseases and live a long life."
"Thank you so much, young man." Benjamin stared at the paper as if he had just come across a priceless treasure.
Just then, Wilbur got to his feet. "I'll be on my way."
Benjamin hurried to get dressed and sent Wilbur out. He asked for Wilbur's phone number before reluctantly said goodbye to him.
At the same time, Susie came downstairs and stared at her grandfather with bloodshot eyes.
Benjamin didn’t notice that and uttered, "Send my finest tea and wine to Wilbur at house number eighteen. Remember to thank him."
"Grandpa, are you still believing that scammer?" Susie could not help but shout.
Benjamin was angered as well. "Wouldn’t I know if he was a scammer? You'll go, or you can go back to medical school and get out of my sight."
Susie almost burst into tears from her indignance but did not dare to say much after seeing how angry her grandfather was. All she could do was prepare what she was told to and have the servants bring it to the car.
The tea and wine were gifts from Susie's parents and some of Benjamin's subordinates. They were both rare treasures that were difficult to come by, costing at least a few hundred thousand dollars. Susie could hardly contain her anger upon thinking that they were all going to that scammer.
