Charlie waved his hand dismissively and flashed a grin.
“Miss Gray, anyone who wants this medicine cauldron has to start with a price tag of ten billion dollars, and I want
the money upfront.
Capital verification comes first, so if you don’t have ten billion dollars in cash, don’t bother asking.”
Serena was taken aback by Charlie’s demand.
“Ten billion dollars? Mr. Wade, do you think money grows on trees? Do you even know how much ten billion dollars
is?”
Charlie’s smile didn’t falter as he replied, “Of course I do.
In fact, ten billion dollars is just the starting price.
You need to have ten billion dollars upfront for us to even discuss the matter.
As for the final amount, there is no upper limit.”
Serena thought Charlie was being intentionally difficult and lashed out at him, “Mr. Wade, I’m trying to do business
with you in good faith.
Is it really necessary for you to make things so difficult?”
Charlie raised his hands in surrender and replied, “Since Miss Gray thinks I’m being difficult for no reason, let’s just
end this discussion.
I kindly ask that you not bring up the matter of the medicinal cauldron again.”
Serena was taken aback by Charlie’s refusal to sell her the medicine cauldron.
She was used to getting what she wanted, given her wealthy background and status in the Mystic Harmony Sect.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEven the dogs raised by the sect wouldn’t dare to snarl at her, let alone stare her down.
But Charlie was a different story altogether, and she found it hard to accept his rejection.
Frustrated, she asked, “Mr. Wade, why won’t you sell me the medicine cauldron?”
Charlie took note of her lack of social experience and decided to give her a taste of reality.
He scanned her up and down, wearing a flirtatious smile as he replied, “How could I have the audacity to ask for
your money, Miss Gray? As a beautiful woman, you should have the medicine cauldron.
I won’t ask for any payment, but I do hope that you’ll owe me a favor in return.”
Serena noticed the provocation in Charlie’s eyes and surmised that he was intentionally teasing her.
She grew more guarded, her expression turning frigid as she retorted, “Mr. Wade, I appreciate your generosity, but
I don’t owe anyone any favors.
Just give me a price.”
Charlie had anticipated her response and playfully pursed his lips before saying, “Oh, Miss Gray, you talk too much.”
“I always say what I mean,” Serena declared haughtily.
Charlie narrowed his eyes, the corner of his mouth curving into a sly smile.
“You’ll soon find out if I’m all talk or not.”
“What do you mean?” Serena asked, her frown deepening.
Charlie’s smile widened.
“Why don’t you let me read your palm and find out?”
“What?” Serena snapped, “I didn’t expect you to be such a sleaze, Mr. Wade!”
Charlie flashed a charming smile and reassured Serena, “Miss Gray, you misunderstood me.
I’m not trying to take advantage of you.
I just want to verify if you really never owe anyone any favors or if it’s just empty words.”
Serena snorted coldly and gritted her teeth.
“I, Serena, never boast about anything.”
Charlie nodded in understanding.
“Then, Miss Gray, please stretch out your hand.
You’ll have your answer in a minute.”
Serena was fuming with anger as she extended her hand towards Charlie, muttering under her breath, “Let’s see
what kind of trick you’re up to.”
Charlie took Serena’s hand and gently held her soft, slender palm.
“Your skin is so well-maintained, Miss Gray.
Your little hands feel slippery,” he remarked jokingly.
Serena tried to pull her hand away, but to her surprise, Charlie’s grip was firm, and she couldn’t move.
Just as Serena was about to panic, Charlie gave her a sly grin and offered, “I’ll give you a chance…”
He then channeled his reiki into Serena’s slender palm.
The powerful energy coursed through her body, and in an instant, it opened up all three meridians that were
previously blocked.
Serena felt an overwhelming rush of power flow through her body, and before she could scream out in pain, she

Suddenly, her spiritual platform seemed to clear up, and she felt a new level of perception that she had never
experienced before.
She muttered to herself in shock, “Why are my meridians so clear now?”
Charlie beamed with a smile and exclaimed, “Congratulations, Miss Gray! You’re now a Martial Artist in the Light
realm!”
“What?!”
Both Serena and Master Vail were left stunned by the revelation.
Serena’s mind was blown away by the realization that she had just achieved her lifelong goal of reaching the Light
Realm in an instant.
She had never even imagined that it could happen so quickly.
Meanwhile, Master Vail was horrified by Charlie’s power.
He had known that Charlie was formidable, but he had never suspected that he could seal four meridians with such
ease, let alone unseal Serena’s blocked ones in a flash.
Overwhelmed by her new status, Serena was too caught up in her excitement to question the sudden turn of
events.
But in a shocking twist, Charlie used his reiki to quickly re-seal the three meridians he had just opened up.
He looked at Serena with a playful grin and said, “Oops, my bad, Miss Gray.
I really wanted to give you a chance, but then I remembered you said earlier that you don’t owe anyone any
favors.”
Serena was stunned by Charlie’s sudden change of heart and protested, “But I didn’t mean to make things difficult
for you!”
