While in Hollywood, I used Taoist magic to quell American terrorism.

I get a little nervous when I see Master Cao now.

After dinner, the two returned to the hotel, where Cao Kun retrieved all the items Scarlett had purchased from the system space.

Scarlett's eyes lit up; this was much more entertaining than magic.

At least she knew that magic tricks were all fake and required a lot of preparation beforehand.

Cao Kun, however, arrived empty-handed, having prepared nothing.

"Master Cao, please keep these for me. You can return them to me when we get to Los Angeles," Scarlett said. "It's inconvenient to take these on the plane."

"Okay." Cao Kun waved his hand, and the bags disappeared from Scarlett's sight once again.

"This is amazing!" Scarlett couldn't help but exclaim for the nth time. "I booked tickets for tomorrow morning. We're going back to Los Angeles together tomorrow morning."

"Okay," Cao Kun replied. "I'm going back to my room. Get some rest. Goodnight."

"Goodnight, Master Cao." Scarlett waved to Cao Kun.

Back in her room, Scarlett took a shower first.

After taking a shower, she looked at herself carefully in the mirror and confirmed that her skin had indeed improved a lot.

"No wonder it felt so smooth to the touch. It's amazing."

Scarlett touched her skin and couldn't help but sigh.

"How can there be such a magical thing in this world?"

"Just a small pill can bring about such a big change in me."

"If we go back to the film set, the makeup artists would be absolutely stunned."

"Who exactly is Master Cao, and how does he possess such great abilities?"

"He seems quite handsome, better looking than other Asians."

Scarlett did her bedtime skincare routine while thinking about it.

After the whole thing was over, she checked her watch and it was already past 10 p.m.

Lying in bed, she tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

I keep thinking about Master Cao, how could he be so amazing?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Cao Kun was too mysterious and had too many secrets that others didn't know.

She looks simple, yet she seems shrouded in a fog, making it difficult to see her clearly.

But ironically, it's also very attractive.

While Scarlett couldn't sleep, Cao Kun next door was on the phone.

This was an international long-distance call that went directly to his mobile phone.

"Mr. Cao, why are you always offline on QQ? We can't contact you."

A young male voice came through the phone, speaking Mandarin.

Cao Kun asked, "Are you Qiu Feng?"

"Yes, it's me."

"I'm away on a business trip and haven't turned on my computer."

"Is it convenient for you to log in to QQ now to chat? International calls are just too expensive."

The sound of the autumn wind carries a sense of heartache.

Cao Kun: "Okay, please wait a moment."

Cao Kun hung up the phone, took out his laptop from the system space, and logged into QQ using the hotel's network.

As soon as he logged on, he saw a message from Qiufeng.

It is said that they have already helped Cao Kun make contact with that family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners.

Cao Kun was overjoyed and replied to Qiu Feng, "Can the other party provide the list of medicinal herbs I sent out?"

Autumn Wind: "Sure, he's quite interested in you too."

Cao Kun: "How much referral fee do you want?"

Autumn Wind seemed a little embarrassed and tentatively asked, "Would $5000 be okay?"

This amount of money is not small for Qiu Feng; after all, it's more than 4 yuan.

In 2004, more than 4 yuan was a considerable income.

However, it was nothing to Cao Kun.

He readily agreed: "Sure, it's evening here now. I'll transfer the money to you tomorrow."

Qiu Feng: "Boss, I trust you. Here's what I'll do: I'll give you a phone number and a QQ number. You can contact me however you like."

I've already told him about you; you can just mention my name.

After Cao Kun agreed, Qiu Feng quickly sent him a domestic phone number and a QQ number.

Cao Kun didn't care about the phone bill and dialed the number directly.

After the phone rang a few times, a steady male voice came through: "Hello, is this Mr. Cao?"

Cao Kun: "Yes, my surname is Cao. I was introduced by Qiu Feng."

The person on the other end laughed and said, "I knew it was you when I saw it was an international call. My name is Wu Chen, you can just call me that."

Cao Kun didn't stand on ceremony with him: "Wu Chen, do you have the medicinal herbs I need?"

Wu Chen: "Mr. Cao, to be honest, I didn't quite understand your list at first."

Cao Kun asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Wu Chen: "I didn't recognize many of the medicinal herbs. I only found out they were ancient names after I asked my grandfather."

Many of the medicinal herbs on there don't have those names anymore.

Cao Kun was taken aback; he really didn't know that.

The names of the medicinal herbs were given by the system.

Although he had a thorough understanding of those medicinal herbs and possessed detailed information about them.

However, none of this information mentions the difference between the ancient and modern names.

Wu Chen added, "My grandfather said that very few people know the ancient names of those medicinal herbs nowadays."

He's very interested in you. I wonder if Mr. Cao has time to come to our home and chat with my grandfather.

Cao Kun: "I'm sorry, I'll be staying in the US for a long time and won't have time to go back."

Wu Chen: That's a real shame, but it's okay, there will always be a chance to meet again.

Cao Kun: "Of course, I will definitely go back."

Wu Chen: "Well then, Mr. Cao, long-distance calls are expensive, so let's get straight to the point and tell me what medicinal herbs you need."

Besides that list, do you need any other medicinal herbs?

Cao Kun: Yes, the list only shows a small part. If it's convenient for you, we can chat on QQ.

"sure."

Soon, Cao Kun sent another, more complete list to Wu Chen via QQ.

Wu Chen gave a wry smile: "There are many medicinal herbs I don't recognize. I need to ask my grandfather. Mr. Cao, could you please give me some time?"

Cao Kun's heart stirred: "Wu Chen, could you please mark the ancient and modern names of the medicinal herbs in the previous list for comparison?"

Wu Chen: "Of course, that's no problem. I have it ready here. Mr. Cao, please wait a moment."

A few minutes later, Wu Chen sent over a photo.

The above are handwritten names of medicinal herbs, showing a comparison between their ancient and modern names.

It's clearly something Wu Chen used for comparison and study.

Now, it's actually convenient for Cao Kun.

After chatting with Wu Chen for a few more minutes, Wu Chen said he needed to consult his grandfather, and the two temporarily stopped talking.

Silent all night.

Scarlett couldn't stay up too late the next day because she had to catch a flight.

When Cao Kun saw Scarlett, he noticed that she had dark circles under her eyes.

Cao Kun asked, puzzled, "Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Scarlett seemed a little embarrassed: "Well, it's nothing. I was watching TV last night and stayed up late."

Cao Kun didn't think much of it: "Then you can catch up on some sleep on the plane later."

Seeing that she had managed to get through it, Scarlett secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling her heart race a little.

【It's all Hunter's fault, talking nonsense! Now I get a little nervous whenever I see Master Cao.】

Scarlett cursed her brother inwardly.
