Mr. Lee Senior nodded and agreed with his son's words.
After a pause, Mr. Lee said, "Dr. Lincoln, if you have any requests, feel free to mention them. It's the only way my father can feel at ease."
Benjamin looked at the Lee father and son before him and knew they did not want to owe him any favors.
After thinking about it, he said in a deep voice, "Mr. Lee Senior, I need gold!"
"Gold?" Mr. Lee Senior was stunned for a moment.
Mr. Lee on the side smiled and said, "That's easy to say. Just let us know how much you need, and I'll arrange it from the bank immediately."
Benjamin smiled and shook his head, "Mr. Lee, I don't need processed gold. I need natural, unrefined gold."
"Natural gold?" Mr. Lee was slightly surprised, "Dr. Lincoln, is there any difference?"
Benjamin said in a deep voice, "After processing, the gold has lost its Spiritual Power. What I need is the Spiritual Power of gold."
Benjamin's practice of The Great Demon Technique required a vast amount of Spiritual Power of the Five Elements to succeed.
The golden magical power of Great Freedom Mysterious Golden Sword Qi requires the Spiritual Power in gold.
Mr. Lee pondered and said, "Dr. Lincoln, this is no problem, but it might take some time. I'll have someone search for natural gold immediately."
"That's it, thank you very much!" Benjamin nodded slowly.
Mr. Lee Senior smiled, "Dr. Lincoln, we have prepared a simple meal at home. Please join us before you leave!"
"Your health has not recovered yet, so I'd better not bother you anymore and say goodbye for now!" Benjamin held up his fists and left.
Mr. Lee walked Benjamin to the door in person and then asked his subordinates to drive Benjamin home.
When he returned to the yard, he saw his father drinking tea on a recliner.
"What do you think of this, Dr. Lincoln?" Mr. Lee Senior asked.
Mr. Lee couldn't help but gasped, "This man is extraordinary. Not only does he have extraordinary medical skills, but he also understands supernatural things. I feel that even a city as large as Eastern Sea City might be unable to contain him!"
Mr. Lee Senior smiled and nodded, "Yes, this kid is absolutely amazing, and I can feel he is an Outer Energy Master!"
"What?" Mr. Lee couldn't help but widen his eyes, "This... how is this possible? Even if someone is a once-in-a-generation talent and has practiced martial arts from childhood, he will not be able to achieve Outer Energy Mastery in his early twenties unless he has countless talents and treasures to help him!"
"His aura is restrained, and his steps are steady. He is indeed an Outer Energy Master!" Mr. Lee Senior said slowly, "Moreover, I even feel that this guy is about to step into the Inner Energy!"
"What?" Mr. Lee was even more surprised, "Father, it's rare to see a Martial Artist of Outer Energy Mastery in his twenties, let alone an Inner Energy Master!"
Mr. Lee Senior put down the teacup in his hand and said in a deep voice, "It seems that this person is not as simple as you investigated."
Mr. Lee nodded, "Indeed!"
Mr. Lee Senior smiled, "There is nothing wrong with befriending such a person!"
"Yes, father, I understand!" Mr. Lee responded immediately.
…
When Olivia returned to her rental house, she felt wronged that Benjamin had taken away her place as a regular employee. She couldn't help crying.
After a while, with swollen eyes, she picked up her phone, found Samuel's number, and dialed it, but she still couldn't get through.
"Damn it, Samuel, where did you go, you bastard? You better not be avoiding me, thinking you can just use and dump me!"
Olivia growled, "Humph, don't think you can run away. I'm not that easy to bully!"
…
Benjamin returned to the Gullible Bay Villa. After dinner, he returned to his room.
Speaking of which, this was an excellent place for spiritual practice.
There was a small river not far away, and many trees on the mountain were full of Spiritual Power.
However, Benjamin could feel he had hit a bottleneck in his training. Progressing further wasn't going to be easy.
There was no choice but to wait for Nathan to collect the medicinal materials.
However, it had been such a long time; Nathan's actions were too slow.
Hopelessly, Benjamin had no choice but to stop practicing and lie on the bed to sleep.
The next day was Sunday. Benjamin slept in. After lunch, he was lying on the sofa playing with his mobile phone when the doorbell rang.
Charlotte immediately went over and opened the door. When she saw the person before her, her eyes lit up, "Elizabeth, you're here!"
"Hello, Auntie!" Elizabeth put down the things in her hands with a smile on her face, "I wasn't sure what you liked, so I just brought some health supplements!"
"You kid!" Charlotte playfully rolled her eyes at Elizabeth and complained, "Come here, why are you buying these? Don't do it in the future!"
Even though she said this, Charlotte's face was filled with smiles and uncontrollable joy.
She hurriedly invited Elizabeth into the house, made tea, and immediately returned to the home, creating a private, two-person world for Benjamin and Elizabeth.
Charlotte really liked Elizabeth and hoped for something to develop between her and Benjamin.
"Benjamin, are you settling in here okay?" Elizabeth asked, trying to make conversation.
Benjamin smiled and said, "It's not bad. The environment here is so good; it's pretty good."
"That's good. If you need anything, just tell me!" Elizabeth offered eagerly.
"Okay!" Benjamin nodded.
Then there was silence. Benjamin was not much of a talker and a little dull.
Elizabeth seemed a bit anxious. She quickly said, "You're free today, right?"
"Yeah, why?" Benjamin looked puzzled.
"Great, then come shopping with me!"
Elizabeth was thinking in her heart that the two of them didn't have much in common, so it would be better to go for a walk outside together to have something to discuss.
Benjamin was stunned for a moment, feeling very puzzled. Shouldn't she be looking for her besties when shopping? Why would she look for a grown man like him?
Elizabeth seemed to feel something was wrong and immediately said, "I noticed you usually don't dress very well, so I thought I'd help you pick some new clothes!"
Benjamin embarrassedly touched his nose, "I'm not particular about what I wear, so let's not bother."
"Oh, come on, don't you know the saying 'Clothes make the man'?"
"And besides, my clothes are outdated, too. Come shopping with me, please!" Elizabeth took Benjamin's arm.
Elizabeth pouted her pink lips, playfully coaxing him.
Benjamin felt as if an electric current was running through his body. A woman's charm, especially that of a beautiful one, was formidable. He honestly didn't know how to refuse her.
"Okay, okay, okay," Benjamin raised his hands in surrender, "I'll go, but let's not spend too long; I say this in advance."
"No problem!" Elizabeth agreed without hesitation, secretly delighted inside. Since Benjamin had agreed, she felt there might be a chance for something more.
