"At that time, it might bring unnecessary trouble to Nine Dragon Mountain."

"All right."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qingzhi's bodyguard retreated immediately.

Chen Qingzhi looked down from his room. Although the outside was brightly illuminated due to the shroud of the Luminous Pearl, the place Chen Qingzhi was observing was pitch black.

It conveyed a sense of emptiness.

Chen Qingzhi felt the faint corrosive power coming from the darkness. Even his body experienced slight pain, but there was not a trace of distress on his face. Instead, he absorbed some of the corrosive power, feeling the power coursing through his body, and a look of intoxication appeared on Chen Qingzhi's face.

It was as if he had inhaled the most wonderful fragrance in the world.

"If I could learn from these Evil Sorcerers, my level in the way of the Magician would surely improve exponentially. And within a short time, I could reach a terrifying level."

"By that time, there would be no need for me to fear the Sorcerer's Headquarters or the great sorcerer families."

As Chen Qingzhi thought about this, a morbid smile appeared on his lips.

But soon, Chen Qingzhi shook his head.

Although learning from the Evil Sorcerers could quickly enhance his level in the way of the Magician, it would naturally require some time beforehand.

If someone were to discover his activities during this time, he would be finished.

"Master."

While Chen Qingzhi was calming his emotions, a voice sounded from outside. It was from Chen Qingzhi's personal secretary.

The reason she was his personal secretary was because of the difficulties she handled, which were not only in business but also in life.

"Hmm?"

Chen Qingzhi looked at his personal secretary, Qiao Ying.

Qiao Ying, seeing Chen Qingzhi look towards her, could clearly sense something off about his emotions. She smiled, stepped over with cat-like steps to Chen Qingzhi's side, and leaned her body against him.

Her fingers gently slid over Chen Qingzhi's body, and in a voice as languid as a cat's, Qiao Ying spoke, "Master, who has provoked you? I could feel your suppressed anger just from taking a glance outside."

Chen Qingzhi, already somewhat annoyed, upon hearing Qiao Ying's words, immediately pulled her into his embrace, his hands roving over her body, and said disgruntledly:

"Today, someone from either the Guild Headquarters or a great sorcerer family entered the central area of Nine Dragon Mountain."

"The person concealed their identity and altered their appearance, so I couldn't determine who they were."

"That careless guy, Baldy, got into a conflict with the person. I originally intended to see if I could save Baldy's life. If I couldn't, that would be it. But I didn't expect the person to be so rude to me and even threatened me!"

At this point, Chen Qingzhi applied pressure, causing Qiao Ying to take a sharp breath in pain.

Yet, Qiao Ying's face did not show any discontent. Her expression remained charming and accommodating. After adjusting her voice, she spoke again coquettishly:

"For people from the great sorcerer families and the Sorcerer's Guild to be arrogant is quite normal. But even arrogant people must have some sense."

Chen Qingzhi said nothing, but Qiao Ying glanced at him, seeing that he seemed pleased. She knew she had struck a chord with him.

Only then did Qiao Ying continue:

"Taking them out directly would be inappropriate, and we must not bring trouble to Nine Dragon Mountain. If it brings difficulties to the Lord, although he dotes on you, you wouldn't want to see him troubled."

"Do you have a plan?"

With interest, Chen Qingzhi looked at Qiao Ying, understanding that her extensive preamble indicated she had a solution.

"Of course."

The reason Qiao Ying became Chen Qingzhi's personal secretary, even surpassing others with better looks and figures, was due to her exceptional understanding of his mind and her competence in handling tasks.

During times of difficulty for Chen Qingzhi, Qiao Ying always found ways to cope.

Such an outstanding person in every way—how could Chen Qingzhi not be enamored?

He even contemplated marrying Qiao Ying someday, making her his wife.

Chen Qingzhi knew that with Qiao Ying's methods, she could keep his other women in line.

Moreover, Qiao Ying wouldn't concern herself with how many women he had; she would stabilize his harem nicely.

"It's simple. In Nine Dragon Mountain's central area, during this period, it's not just the person from the Sorcerer's Headquarters who has come..."

Qiao Ying came close to Chen Qingzhi and began discussing some issues with him.

...

Divine Stone Workshop.

Because in Spirit Star, immortals were not worshipped, the term "immortal" had become derogatory.

Previously, Lord of the Universe Guo Yi had ultimately dealt with the Immortal Clan.

This was a significant difference between Spirit Star and Earth Star.

On Earth Star, there was faith in deities, whereas on Spirit Star, only god existed.

When praising people or things, only the term "god" was used.

The Divine Stone Workshop was akin to the stone-gambling places on Earth Star.

Except in the Divine Stone Workshop, all stones were mined from Nine Dragon Mountain.

Inside the stones, top-grade Spirit Stones were a guaranteed outcome.

One could say Nine Dragon Mountain was a giant Spirit Stone Vein.

Yet, for the magicians playing in the central area of Nine Dragon Mountain, top-grade Spirit Stones were trivial.

Though top-grade Spirit Stones were precious, for these magicians, they were just basic.

A piece of stone material from Nine Dragon Mountain's central area was sold for twice the price of an ordinary top-grade Spirit Stone.

"Master, do you really intend to gamble on stones here? I've heard many people lost everything here gambling on stones."

As they reached the entrance of the Divine Stone Workshop, Hui Hui looked at Wang Ye worriedly and spoke to him.

During this period, Wang Ye had asked Hui Hui to call him "Master."

Hui Hui didn't mind and was quite excited.

Although she had been learning from Wang Ye, she had no official status. If asked, she couldn't directly mention Wang Ye's name.

Now, Wang Ye had given her an identity.
