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

"This place is shrouded in darkness, and you possess the characteristic of immortality. Let's call you the Netherworld Undying Vine."

Cao Kun gave the vine a name and waved his hand, saying, "Let's go."

The succubus immediately transformed into a pink light and returned to the phone.

Leaving the cave, Cao Kun swam out of the water and onto the shore, a bright smile on his face.

He changed into clean clothes, and his smile became even brighter.

This trip was definitely worthwhile, and we gained a lot.

Before Cao Kun could return, he sent Wu Chen a message, asking him to pack up and send over the other ingredients for the "Youth-Preserving Pill".

Cao Kun had not wanted these medicinal materials because he could not find the main ingredient, Huisheng Yuanjiang.

Those medicinal herbs were sent over, but they weren't of much use.

But now, things are different.

Three days later, a specially made refrigerated safe was delivered by UPS.

Cao Kun inspected the medicinal materials inside: Seven-leaf Ice Soul Grass, Hundred-year-old Jade Marrow Fungus, Morning Dew... Each one was properly prepared and full of medicinal properties.

"Everything is ready."

Cao Kun closed the box and said to the succubus standing to the side, peering curiously:

"I need to go into seclusion to refine pills for about two or three days. During this time, everything will proceed as usual, unless the sky falls, do not disturb me."

"Yes, Master!" the succubus replied immediately.

Cao Kun brought the medicinal herbs into the specially prepared quiet room.

The induction cooker, pressure cooker, and close-up view of the stove flame were all ready.

With Cao Kun's current cultivation level as a seventh-grade minor celestial master and his mastery of fourth-level alchemy, refining a fourth-grade youth-preserving pill, while challenging, is not difficult.

The key lies in the precise extraction and harmonization of the evil vitality of "Filthy Life Essence".

If one is not careful, what is refined will not be a elixir to preserve youth, but some kind of poison that will hasten aging.

Nearly three days later, the quiet room fell silent.

Cao Kun looked tired, but his eyes were bright.

He held a warm, white jade bottle in his hand and gently shook it, from which came the soft sound of seven pills colliding.

Seven pills, the success rate isn't high, but the quality of all of them is top-grade.

Cao Kun poured out a pill, which was pearly in color.

Four golden patterns flow across its surface, emitting a refreshing yet vibrant fragrance.

This means that it is definitely a grade four elixir.

Cao Kun tossed the pill into his mouth, and it instantly transformed into a gentle medicinal power that permeated his entire body.

Cao Kun felt a warm sensation in his body, along with a slight coolness.

This feeling was very comfortable, but it soon disappeared completely.

Cao Kun checked himself with his spiritual sense and found that his appearance had not changed at all.

Only through introspection can one discover the powerful vitality that lies beneath the five internal organs and the skin's surface.

It is this vitality that allows a person's appearance to remain unchanged forever.

Even after death, the body can remain incorrupt for thousands of years.

"It's truly amazing."

Cao Kun had a big smile on his face.

"Master, did it work?"

As soon as the door to the quiet room opened, Cao Kun walked out. The succubus appeared at the door immediately, staring longingly at the jade bottle.

Cao Kun nodded, but did not open it. Instead, he put the jade bottle into his system space.

The pills were ready, but apart from taking one himself, Cao Kun didn't plan to touch the others for the time being.

This thing is so precious that it would be inappropriate to give it to anyone now.

We can only wait and see how they perform.

"Ah...aren't you going to take a look?" The succubus was a little disappointed.

"No rush," Cao Kun said casually, changing the subject. "Any new developments from their side lately?"

The succubus immediately went into working mode:

"Ms. Megan sent messages yesterday and today, her tone becoming increasingly excited, as if she had good news, but she hasn't said it yet."

Miss Anne mentioned in her message that her new movie is about to be released, and she's a little nervous.

Miss Scarlett is on set, Miss Amanda shared new workout photos, and Dr. Miranda asked about your recent sleep quality...

As they were talking, Cao Kun's phone rang. He picked it up and saw it was Megan.

"Damn!"

As soon as the call connected, Megan's excited voice, barely containing her excitement, came through, accompanied by some background noise.

"Transformers! It's really in the works! I heard it's a joint production between DreamWorks and Paramount, directed by Michael Jackson!"

Official news will be released in a few days!

"Congratulations."

Cao Kun walked into the living room and sat down, his tone calm and smiling: "You're very well-informed."

"But……"

Megan's voice lowered, revealing anxiety:

"I've already had my agent submit my audition intentions, but I haven't received an audition invitation yet... not a word from them."

"Cao, I... can I really do this? Such a big production..."

"Don't rush..."

Cao Kun wasn't too worried about this.

According to the historical trajectory of the other world, Megan is the female lead and would definitely receive an audition invitation.

However, there are rumors that she got the lead role through Michael's connections.

Now, she naturally can't rely on Michael's connections, so perhaps Cao Kun needs to give her some support.

Cao Kun: "Keep your phone accessible. I'll handle the rest."

"Really? Cao, you...you really have a way?" Megan's voice was instantly filled with hope.

"Wait for my news." Cao Kun didn't say anything more and hung up the phone.

He pondered for a moment, then searched through his contacts and quickly found Julia-Radish's number.

This outspoken actress has extensive connections and a solid foundation in Hollywood.

He also had a good relationship with Spielberg.

Ask her to pass on a message and ask for an audition invitation; it shouldn't be difficult.

After exchanging pleasantries, Cao Kun got down to business after the call connected.

"...So, Julia, there's a small favor I'd like to ask you for."

Regarding DreamWorks and Paramount's Transformers project, I have a friend who is a perfect fit, but he lacks an audition opportunity.

"You just need an audition opportunity?"

Julia asked very detailed questions.

This is Spielberg's project; she won't make promises lightly.

Cao Kun: "Yes, it was just an audition opportunity."

Julia relaxed: "No problem, I can handle that. Wait for my call... By the way, male or female? What role are you auditioning for?"

Cao Kun: "The female lead."

Julia said with a hint of helplessness, "Okay, it's just an audition anyway. What's her name?"

Cao Kun gave Megan's information to her.

Julia: "Wait for my news, it will be soon."

A dozen minutes later, Julia called again.

"Master Cao, it's all settled. Tell your... little girlfriend to wait for a call. Someone will call her soon."

Perhaps this incident brought them closer, because Julia made a joke about Cao Kun.

Cao Kun: "Thanks, Julia. I'll treat you to dinner another day."

Julia: "Okay, but don't go back on your word. You'd better set a date."

Cao Kun laughed and said, "How about this, after Megan receives the message, I'll bring her along."

Julia: "I'm really looking forward to it. Emma also wants to meet you."

Emma?

Cao Kun immediately thought of that night.

Emma ran into his room and asked him to be her boyfriend.

Cao Kun: "No problem."

The very next day, Megan called.

"Damn, I got it! I really got an audition invitation for the female lead in Transformers."

Megan was incredibly excited and surprised: "Oh my god, you really did it. I'm coming to see you tonight."
