Upon returning to the Blessed Hall, Bai Suxiang felt a sense of familiarity rather than the nervousness of her first visit.
Her aerial flight had also become more practiced. While not comparable to the divine immortals who honed their spells, she no longer needed Liu Sandao's manual of blessings to guide her.
"Wow, so many trees! Even bigger than in my dreams! Wow!..."
It was the child's voice, shouting with excitement, that prevented their journey from becoming too monotonous.
"Little thing, stop shouting so randomly. There are even bigger trees ahead! Is this the place you wanted to come to?" Bai Suxiang teased it deliberately.
"Don't call me little thing, I'm not a little thing!"
"If you're not a thing, then what are you?"
"You're not a thing, you're not a thing?"
...
They bickered endlessly all the way.
Liu Sandao did not interject, letting them quarrel as they flew.
The Blessed Hall remained the same, with its tall, verdant trees as picturesque as a painting.
Liu Sandao and Bai Suxiang waited in the Blessed Hall for a long time before the Old Ancestor of the Blessed Spirits appeared.
"Why have you come?" The Old Ancestor of the Blessed Spirits seemed surprised by Liu Sandao's visit, asking as soon as they met.
Before Liu Sandao could speak, a voice preempted him, "Who are you?"
As the Old Ancestor of the Blessed Spirits was about to question the voice, Bai Suxiang handed him the Qilin Jade.
"It's this. Please take a look and see what's happening!" Bai Suxiang said.
The Old Ancestor of the Blessed Spirits took the Qilin Jade and examined it closely.
Then, stroking his beard, he said, "Hmm, indeed. It seems you truly have this fortune."
"I recall that Fu Ruhai's soul crystal was previously preserved within this Qilin Jade. The voice you hear now is his voice from childhood, but given his current condition, this is his appearance from when he was young. He didn't know you then, which is why he..."
Upon hearing that it was Fu Ruhai's voice, Liu Sandao was overjoyed. He hadn't expected Fu Ruhai to be resurrected so soon!
"Are you saying Fu Ruhai has truly been resurrected?"
Seeing Liu Sandao's excitement, the Old Ancestor of the Blessed Spirits hesitated.
After a moment, he paced and said, "Although the voice has returned, without a physical form, it can only reside within this Qilin Jade."
"However, this is still a significant advancement and the most crucial step. The fact that his voice can be stimulated means his soul crystal has the potential to be reawakened, but it still lacks one vital element."
The Old Ancestor of the Blessed Spirits stroked his beard again.
"Oh, Old Ancestor, can't you just tell us what it is? It's driving us crazy!" Bai Suxiang stamped her foot, half in anger and half in playful exasperation.
"To be resurrected, his spirit needs to be awakened, which requires more good karma."
"More good karma? This time, having this voice was due to the good karma of a Nine-Star person. So, can we awaken him by finding another Nine-Star person?" Liu Sandao thought of a solution and asked.
"Hmm... no!" The Old Ancestor of the Blessed Spirits shook his head.
"I've told you before that different star-level individuals are needed. Since this was a chance brought about by a Nine-Star person, the next one cannot be a Nine-Star person."
"So, it must be a Ten-Star person?" Bai Suxiang asked anxiously.
"That's not certain. Everything is a matter of fortune and opportunity. Some require a Ten-Star person, while others might only need two or three stars. Relatively speaking, the higher the star level, the greater the chance of finding the spirit!"
As an immortal, Liu Sandao understood the mechanisms of heavenly fortune.
Just like this time with the Nine-Star person, it was a pure coincidence that they met, and coupled with the fact that the one who came later didn't interfere, it would have been impossible to achieve this so smoothly.
As for whether the person who came later would seek out the Nine-Star person again after she was discovered, according to the manual of blessings, it was unlikely.
This matter was akin to finding a true dragon's lair in the mortal world. Once a genuine dragon's lair was found and covered, its destiny was sealed. Only the person who discovered it first had the chance to absorb the dragon's energy. It would be very difficult for others to find that precise spot at the opportune moment.
Therefore, to revive Fu Ruhai, they had to find a Ten-Star person before the one who came later did.
Leaving the Blessed Hall, Liu Sandao and his party hurried towards Sandong City.
Before having any further leads, they could only return to their base camp for now.
Upon returning to Sandong City, it was natural to report to the company. Firstly, to make their presence known, and secondly, to provide an account to the company. After all, the company hired people to work, and those workers needed to show up.
While waiting for the elevator, they encountered Manager Zhao, who was also waiting.
"Hey, President Liu, how are the people you're looking for coming along?" Manager Zhao asked.
Liu Sandao didn't quite remember this Manager Zhao, only because someone had addressed him as such just now, and he happened to overhear it.
"How are yours coming along?" Instead of answering, Liu Sandao turned to ask about Zhao's situation.
"Heh heh, to be honest, young brother, I've already found four or five. And I'm currently in contact with an important client. He's a truly good person; he spends no less than a hundred million yuan on charity every year!"
"Oh! Congratulations then!"
"Hahaha, you too, keep up the good work!" Manager Zhao said, gently patting Liu Sandao's shoulder. "I'll be going now!"
His floor was below the 80th, as the elevator he entered only went up to the 80th floor.
While waiting for the elevator, Liu Sandao took the opportunity to ponder Manager Zhao's words.
A truly good person who spends a lot of money each year. A hundred million yuan is no small sum. That would surely indicate a Ten-Star level individual, wouldn't it?
Was this person in Sandong City, or in another city in China?
...
Lost in these thoughts, Liu Sandao didn't even notice how he arrived at his office.
However, as soon as he entered, he seemed to remember something and quickly turned to leave.
"Ouch! What's wrong?" Bai Suxiang asked, after being bumped into.
She had been behind Liu Sandao, entering the elevator together and walking towards the office. But Liu Sandao acted as if he hadn't seen her at all and was now turning to leave for some unknown destination. Bai Suxiang, unable to dodge in time, was bumped into by Liu Sandao.
"N-nothing!" Liu Sandao shook his head and turned back into the office.
"Hahaha, are you thinking about what Manager Zhao said?" Seeing Liu Sandao's reaction, Bai Suxiang guessed what was on his mind and asked with a smile.
Liu Sandao didn't answer immediately, but his expression gave him away.
"Don't worry, I'll help you check right away and see who this wealthy benefactor is who spends hundreds of millions annually that Manager Zhao mentioned!" Bai Suxiang said as she walked towards her computer and put down her shoulder bag. Sudan Novel Network.
If they happened to find this Ten-Star person, Fu Ruhai could be resurrected very soon! The sooner this answer was revealed, the better!
