Next, this bucket of blood will continue to boil.

Until all the evil energy is absorbed by the hemp rope.

At that time, the blood will also completely dry up.

Basically, this will take three days.

Having done all this, Cao Kun left the basement and saw that it was already dawn.

Seiko Yamashita has already gotten up.

It's the weekend, so she doesn't have to go to work, and she hasn't changed her clothes.

Still wearing her silk camisole nightgown, she calmly prepared breakfast in the kitchen.

Hearing the noise, she turned around and asked, "Master, what are you busy with in the basement again?"

"Nothing much," Cao Kun replied casually. "How's the collection of those poisonous insects going?"

Seiko Yamashita: "A batch has been collected. As you instructed, do not send it over yet. It is currently being fostered by those hunters."

Once they've all been collected, send them over together.

Cao Kun nodded.

This place is, after all, a place where evil gathers.

Feeding those poisonous insects here in advance will allow them to absorb some evil energy.

At that time, some poisonous insects will possess evil energy, while others will not, leading to an imbalance.

There is a very high probability of failure when refining Gu.

Even if it is successfully refined, its effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

Of course, sometimes some positive changes can occur.

But Cao Kun didn't want to gamble.

Cao Kun added, "By the way, I attended a charity gala the night before last and spent $11 million. Could you help me with the accounting and deduct that part from the taxes?"

The Holy Son of the Mountain laughed and said, "Master, we spent 11 million, so we can't just do 11 million."

Cao Kun: "How many should we make?"

Seiko Yamashita: "Master, what did you buy?"

Cao Kun: "An antique sword."

Seiko Yamashita: "That makes things easier. You bought an antique sword, so you'll need a display case, regular maintenance, and proper preservation, which will cost you money."

These can all be recorded as income and are eligible for a certain tax exemption.

Cao Kun: "You can do that?"

Seiko Yamashita: "Of course, it's like a company buying a car, and all the money spent on that car can be included in the company's operating costs."

These are also part of charity.

Otherwise, this money could be spent elsewhere; why insist on doing charity?

Cao Kun: "That makes sense."

The Holy Son of the Mountain said again, "There are some manipulation techniques involved, such as issuing false invoices."

Master, you spent 11 million. You can add an extra zero at the end to avoid a large amount of taxes.

Of course, such public charity galas are not acceptable, as they are easily investigated.

I'm just giving an example.

Cao Kun: "Most charity galas are public events."

Seiko Yamashita: "That's why charitable foundations are so important; there's a lot of room for maneuver in them."

Moreover, it's their own foundation, so they're not afraid of being investigated.

Actually, even if it's an antique sword that you bought, there's still room for maneuver.

With the help of a few auction houses, and through a series of maneuvers, adding a zero to the end is not impossible.

However, there is some trouble.

Cao Kun praised, "Holy Son, you have truly not wasted your time studying."

The Holy Son of the Mountain smiled and said, "It's good that it can help the master. Does the master need to take this sword and operate it?"

"If you'd like, I can contact the auction house."

Cao Kun: "No need, this sword is useful to me. Next time, I'll buy some other things."

Three days later, only a red rope remained in the wooden bucket that had been filled with blood.

At this moment, the red rope also carried a strong aura of evil.

Cao Kun took out a red rope and slowly wrapped it around the hilt of the eight-sided Han sword.

Now, this sword is much more practical.

Not only did the hilt become much easier to grip, but the abundance of sinister energy also amplified the sword's malevolent aura.

The sword's rust-colored blade, contrasting beautifully with the crimson hilt, created a unique aesthetic.

After playing with it for a while, Cao Kun put it back into the system space.

If this sword is left outside, it will need a scabbard.

But they are usually stored in the system space, which saves Cao Kun the trouble.

"It's been 3 days, and Little Li still hasn't contacted me."

"Is it because they're young and can handle it?"

"Or did he hire another exorcist?"

"Let's wait and see."

Cao Kun thought of that mirror again.

Two days later, Cao Kun didn't receive a call from Xiao Li, but instead received a call from Sophia.

Cao Kun said impatiently, "What's wrong with you again?"

Sophia said with dissatisfaction, "Master, what kind of attitude is this? It's not me who's looking for you, it's this beautiful woman who's looking for you. If you don't want to be bothered, then fine."

"Wait a minute," Cao Kun said, "Who's looking for me?"

Sofia: "What? You can't hold back when you hear about beautiful women?"

"I don't have time to joke around with you," Cao Kun asked. "Is it Fat Wen?"

Sofia asked in surprise, "How did you know?"

Cao Kun laughed: "Give her my phone number."

Sophia: "Master, you're so hypocritical. Didn't you say you weren't interested in her before? Why are you so happy to hear that she contacted you?"

Cao Kun: "You talk too much nonsense and meddle in other people's business. Who I'm interested in is none of your concern."

"Okay, okay, you're so clever. I'll give it to her in a bit, alright?" Sophia didn't dare say anything more when she saw Cao Kun getting angry.

Not long after Sofia hung up the phone, an unknown number called.

Cao Kun answered the call and heard Kate Winslet's voice: "Master Cao Kun, this is Kate Winslet. We met at the party last time."

Cao Kun: "I remember, what did you want to see me about?"

Fat Wen: "Actually, it wasn't me looking for you, it was Leo who looked for you."

Cao Kun: "Was there something wrong with the mirror he bought last time?"

Fei Wen was stunned for a moment, and after several seconds he said, "Master Cao Kun, you knew all along that the mirror would cause trouble?"

Cao Kun: "Just guessing."

Fei Wen certainly didn't believe it, but knowing it was one thing, whether Cao Kun said it or not was his own business.

She wasn't foolish enough to take her anger out on Cao Kun.

Fei Wen: "Master Cao Kun, can you help Leo?"

Cao Kun: "Why didn't he call me himself?"

Fei Wen: "He tried to take this mirror from you last time, but you ignored him because you were afraid he would be angry."

Cao Kun: "He's probably afraid I'll laugh at him."

Fei Wen laughed awkwardly, "That's part of the reason."

Cao Kun: "Give me an address, and we'll meet and talk."

Fei Wen: "Let's meet at the coffee shop near Leo's house. I'll send you the address to your phone."

More than half an hour later, Cao Kun saw Fei Wen in the coffee shop.

When they met again, she was no longer as bold and unrestrained as before, and seemed somewhat worried.

Clearly, she was somewhat worried about Leonardo DiCaprio.

Although she is now married, she still has deep feelings for Leonardo DiCaprio.

However, Cao Kun didn't know whether it was friendship or some other kind of feeling.

Sitting across from Fei Wen, Cao Kun ordered coffee and said, "How much longer until Leo arrives? I don't like waiting."

"I'm sorry." Fat Wen looked apologetic. "Leo is usually very punctual. Something must have kept him up."

Cao Kun raised his hand and glanced at the Rolex that Charlize Theron had given him: "Give him five minutes, or I'll be done."
