Chapter 91: New Magic Core

Mu Hua sunk his palm into Webster's chest without even taking off Webster's clothes.

Although his eyes were looking at Webster's body, Mu Hua seemed to have a perspective that outsiders could not observe, as if he was looking down at a strange soul with internal organs and flesh.

Soul surgery is magical. In addition to stimulating the evolution of monster bloodline, it can also treat traumatic injuries to the patient's internal organs through soul interference.

No surgery is required, and it is not helpful for common lesions. By consuming soul dust, it can interfere with the flesh and blood organs at the soul level and repair damaged organs.

The culprit that caused Webster's magic power exhaustion was found. What Mu Hua saw in his eyes was not a bloody heart, but a cracked magic core in a transparent and immaterial heart.

The magic core is very small and it is difficult to confirm its source, but Mu Hua can sense that the original owner of this magic core can evolve towards the direction of a hyoid demon.

It was a demon that looked like an alien, and its grade was not very high. At this moment, its magic core was on the verge of collapse, as if a slight touch of a finger would shatter it into debris.

He took out a philosopher's stone directly from the furnace space. This thing was the key for Mu Hua to cure his magic exhaustion.

Because the palm is inside Webster's body, the outside world cannot see the condition of Mu Hua's palm.

Otherwise, if his family members saw him using the Philosopher's Stone on Webster, the two guys would definitely say some unpleasant words.

The magic core was wrapped in a spell, and Mu Hua crushed the Philosopher's Stone and merged it into it. The powdered stone chips erased the cracks on the magic core like a repair.

"Hmm~~" Webster let out a comfortable moan.

As the magic core was repaired, Webster's complexion visibly improved. Padgy, who was watching the two of them, breathed a sigh of relief.

If it had been as said at the beginning, Mu Hua should have finished the treatment and received one thousand demon gold coins.

This is only a temporary solution and not a permanent cure. The magic core that is already heading towards "death" will shatter again in a month or so, and Webster will once again enter a state of magic exhaustion.

In order to completely cure Webster, more Philosopher's Stones need to be invested to trigger the safe evolution of the magic core and ultimately achieve rebirth.

Compared with a single treatment, a thorough treatment obviously allows Mu Hua to squeeze more money out of Webster.

However, Mu Hua finally gave up the long-term plan and chose to cure Webster once and for all at a harmless price.

That’s right, Mu Hua felt that compared with Webster’s life, four thousand demon gold coins were really nothing.

As for the reason for doing this? Is it hard to understand?

No one likes to be threatened, especially when someone threatens them with their own life.

The only difference is that most people can only accept their fate and endure it. They can only choose between giving up their lives or being exploited.

The powerful and wealthy can mediate, fight back, and even retaliate.

Each treatment lasts for a month, and each treatment costs one thousand demon coins. It repeats over and over again. Is this considered a threat?
It’s hard to say about other people, but in the eyes of people like Webster, this should be a threat.

Even if it's just to keep them alive.

The initial excitement of being rescued will inevitably turn into a threat that they cannot bear.

There are probably not many people who would truly accept this as a life-saving grace.

An old man in his seventies or eighties, who gets out of breath after walking a few steps, has no taste for food, and has no feeling when playing with women, even if he is not sick or in trouble, is it strange that such a person, after arranging his afterlife, suddenly has the desire to die?

Not to mention that he was under pressure from magic exhaustion, and there was a guy hanging around who asked him for a thousand demon gold coins every month because of this problem.

Just like Webster said, he can't die too early, but after dealing with the things he needs to deal with, would it be strange if this guy really gave up and waited for death?

No one likes to be "sucked dry" by others. The powerful are good at sucking blood, but they also don't like to be sucked dry by others, especially those powerful people who are respected in certain fields.

Even if someone more powerful than them tried to keep sucking, they would probably want to stab the other person in the back.

Even though Mu Hua was able to save Webster's life, Mu Hua estimated that if he really did that, Webster would probably take action against him after just a few treatments.

He can be manipulated or threatened, but at the very least he must be made to suffer to the point where leaving him will have a great negative impact on Mu Hua's life.

Kidnapping, torture, and forced interrogation of secrets were all based on the premise that Webster wanted to save his own life.

If the old guy doesn't want to live anymore, haha, god knows what he can do.

Mu Hua strongly disagreed with Taibetha's statement that "wealth and honor can only be achieved through risk."

This sentence is only necessary to quote as a wise saying when you are sufficiently hopeless about your life and your future.

It's obviously a lie to fool people.

The prospects are bright and stable. What are you risking your life for?
So Mu Hua clarified the treatment method with Webster and gained four thousand demon gold coins, and at the same time he should have gained some friendship from Webster.

Well, friendship or not doesn’t matter.

But I think most people would still be willing to have fun with a young man who can communicate and cure magic exhaustion.

Well, Mu Hua's idea was very good and comprehensive, but to be honest, he didn't understand it at all. Webster was not an ordinary rich man, he was a chaebol and a powerful person. Maybe Mu Hua weighed that the harmless 4,000 demon gold coins were nothing to Webster and his daughter.

Because of the environment he was in in this life, Mu Hua still brought in many concepts from his previous life regarding money (credit points), and he knew "nothing" about wealth.

But maybe it was a mixed bag. Mu Hua's calm and nonchalant attitude seemed to have led to some strange misunderstandings.

At this time, Webster and Page really regarded Mu Hua's offer as a 'friendship price' worthy of being touched. Although they did not say it, they kept Mu Hua's kindness in their hearts.

. . . . . .

The structure of the soul surgery technique is quite complex. Mu Hua can only let his mental power mechanically guide the changes of the technique module, just like activating a skill.

The magic core in Webster's heart is very small, which is a prerequisite for magic core transplantation.

Monsters with this kind of magic core are born with a flaw and are weaker than their peers. Even after their magic cores evolve, they will not grow as large as normal.

The Philosopher's Stone continued to be invested. Perhaps because only the Magic Core was left, or perhaps because the Magic Core was weak enough, Mu Hua only consumed more than twenty units of Philosopher's Stone to make the Magic Core reach a safe evolutionary level.

The other free hand also entered Webster's body. Mu Hua shrugged his shoulders and his hands seemed to be roughly rummaging around in Webster's body.

Webster remained conscious from beginning to end. When he saw Mu Hua doing the rough carpentry work, his eyelids twitched violently.

As time passed, a sense of comfort from the soul spread throughout his body. His body became weak due to the comfort, but Webster could clearly feel that his physical condition was improving rapidly.

"Not bad, the problem is solved. But it's a pity that the adaptability of magic power should not have increased much." Pulling his hand away, Mu Hua wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said softly.

"Uh~~~~" A long breath came from the throat.

As everything was completed, Webster felt that his body, which had been confined in a small space, seemed to be freed by a breath of air.

The powerful beating of my heart seemed to be echoing in my ears, and my physical strength was filling my body, but an irresistible drowsiness followed.

"It doesn't matter. At my age, magical adaptability is no longer useful." Webster muttered.

"Paggi, please take good care of Mu for me. I need to rest." Turning to look at his daughter, Webster slowly closed his eyes while giving instructions, and after a moment, snoring sounds came from his nose.

"This...Is Weber okay?" Paige observed Webster's old face gradually turning red, and asked Mu Hua with expectation.

"He shouldn't be sleeping for too long, there's nothing wrong with him. Or you can wake him up now and find a doctor for him."

"Of course, if he's not grumpy when he wakes up." Mu Hua spread his hands.

With a soft hug, Paige snuggled into Mu Hua's arms.

"Thank you. Mu, I apologize for the inconvenience I caused you before." After a tight hug, Paige let go of Mu Hua.

"Don't mind, and I think I got a good reward." Mu Hua said with a smile.

"Of course, you deserve more."

"You know, nobles can't show pitiful expressions in public."

"If you show your weakness, you'll be taken advantage of. I apologize again for Weber's previous attitude." Padget seemed to let down her guard, and the smile on her beautiful face brought out a gentle temperament.

"Haha, I don't know much about nobles." Mu Hua blinked jokingly, with a casual attitude, not showing the slightest bit of concern.

It wasn't a big deal. Webster just wanted to throw him out of the manor, but Mu Hua was used to fighting back.

Moreover, these nobles have been learning etiquette since childhood. Every expression of Paji is perfect, but Mu Hua cannot be sure how much hard work is involved.

"Don't you understand? Maybe now I can give you a chance to understand."

"For example, getting to know the daughter of a noble. We should still have some time before Waver wakes up."

Paji pursed her lips meaningfully, and Mu Hua inexplicably felt that her posture at this moment was full of "aggression".

"Someone taught me earlier that in Loren, before asking a girl out, you should first ask her if she has a family." Mu Hua raised his eyebrows.

"I think you have a good teacher. Although Weber has always wanted me to get married, I prefer single life." Padget stroked her long hair.

"Well, soul surgery is very energy-consuming, ma'am. I think I need a place to rest." Mu Hua very much agreed with Paige's outlook on life. There is nothing wrong with liking to be single.

"Of course, you should have a good rest." Paji gave Mu Hua a charming glance, and when she turned around, her long skirt outlined a great feminine figure.

"Snoring~Snoring~" Webster's snoring on the bed became louder and louder.

Mu Hua glanced at Webster and said, "Well, the patient is not awake yet. We shouldn't be so anxious to go home. That would be too irresponsible."

Following the swaying and seductive figure, Mu Hua and Paji left the room.
