Cao Kun was surprised. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the blood snakes were not real snakes, but red lines formed by the convergence of evil energy.

Its flexible movements, at first glance, resemble blood snakes.

He immediately recalled what the Holy Son of the Mountain had mentioned about the "Blood Serpent Red Thread Technique," and realized that this was how it was done.

It looks quite vivid.

After watching for a while, Cao Kun discerned some of the secrets of this "Blood Serpent Red Thread Kung Fu".

"Gathering evil as threads is to allow evil energy to flow more smoothly and freely through the meridians after entering the body."

"This technique is indeed skillful, but it is far inferior to my 'Ten Thousand Evils Condensing Technique'."

Cao Kun felt a surge of superiority, closed his eyes again, and continued his cultivation.

Suddenly, Cao Kun was struck by a flash of inspiration, and a certain point in his heart was once again broken.

Cao Kun opened his eyes, a surprised smile on his face.

"Just like that, I broke through to the eighth rank of the Gathering Evil Realm."

"The Yin-Yang Creation Technique is indeed miraculous."

It took Cao Kun quite a while to calm himself down and continue his cultivation.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Cao Kun prepared to go out.

Cao Kun has made many gains recently. His cultivation has broken through to the eighth rank of the Gathering Evil technique, and he has also made great progress in the Yin Talisman technique. He has even successfully refined a magic weapon called the Myriad Soul Banner.

However, a problem arose: he was out of money.

Cao Kun earned over $3 million, but his extravagant spending left him with only tens of thousands of dollars.

We can't afford the better materials.

Although, he could also earn $20,000 every three days from Angelina and Winona.

But compared to his expenses, this is simply not enough.

Fortunately, it's not tax season yet, otherwise the US IRS would have already come knocking on our door fully armed.

There's a joke that goes like this: You can kill someone in the US, but never owe taxes in the US.

Although this statement is somewhat exaggerated, it is not entirely without merit.

The tax bureau of country M is really something else.

Tax authorities in other countries are administrative agencies, but in country M, the tax authority is an armed force.

Now, Cao Kun has three ways to make money.

First, filming.

Second, exorcism.

Third, engaging in illicit activities.

After thinking it over, Cao Kun decided that the first point could be completely abandoned.

With his current qualifications, he wouldn't earn much money even after filming for several months.

The second point is that although the money comes quickly, it requires waiting and luck.

The third option is the most flexible and, more importantly, makes money faster.

Cao Kun is planning to go out for a walk today to see if there are any opportunities.

Ring ring...

Suddenly, his phone rang.

Cao Kun picked up the phone and saw that the caller ID showed Nicole Kidman.

Cao Kun answered the call, but the other end remained silent for a long time.

But the slightly heavy breathing betrayed that the other person was a little nervous at the moment.

Cao Kun: "If you don't say anything, I'm hanging up."

"Wait a minute," Nicole Kidman finally spoke, "Damn, are you free lately?"

Cao Kun: "That depends on what you're doing."

Nicole Kidman cursed under her breath, "If you have time, I can recommend a role to you."

"Oh?" Cao Kun asked with a smile, "What kind of role?"

Nicole Kidman: "The movie I'm about to shoot."

“Eyes Wide Shut?” Cao Kun realized.

Nicole Kidman confirmed: "It's this one."

Cao Kun's expression was strange: "Isn't Tom the male lead?"

Damn it, it's a movie made by a married couple, what right does he have to interfere?

“Never mind him, are you coming or not?” Nicole Kidman coaxed, “This is a Stanley Kubrick movie, a movie that countless people in Hollywood would kill to make.”

I can recommend someone to you if you'd like.

Cao Kun sighed: "Nicole, even so, you still have to pay."

“You bastard!” Nicole Kidman finally couldn’t hold back and cursed, “Damn it, you’re a hopeless bastard.”

After yelling at her, she angrily hung up the phone.

Cao Kun shrugged and put down his phone.

Kubrick is a big name, but Cao Kun was completely indifferent to this film.

By Cao Kun's standards, this is a short film.

He didn't want to take his pants off in front of the camera.

"Master, who is insulting you? Should I go and kill this person?"

Seiko Yamashita, with her sharp ears, stopped what she was doing and asked from the side.

"Get back to work and mind your own business." Cao Kun glared at her. "Don't you dare eavesdrop on my phone calls."

"Oh, I understand, Master."

The young master replied with a pitiful expression and continued working.

…………

After leaving the house, Cao Kun went to a high-end restaurant first.

Today happens to be the weekend, and it's also the day for Angelina and the other two to adjust their routines. They had already made arrangements in advance.

When Cao Kun arrived at the restaurant, he saw several people squatting at the entrance.

These guys, carrying heavy cameras, are clearly paparazzi who are a nuisance to celebrities but can't seem to leave.

Make no mistake, Hollywood paparazzi are the most dedicated of their kind in the world.

They resorted to all sorts of underhanded methods, including secretly filming, eavesdropping, and installing bugging devices.

Of course, even the most discerning paparazzi wouldn't dare to install listening devices.

Once caught, celebrities will sue them so badly they'll wet their pants, and they'll never be able to get out of jail again.

Only paparazzi from major newspapers, because they have powerful connections, are not afraid.

This restaurant is frequented by celebrities, which attracts paparazzi who often stake out the area.

"Ryder and Julie actually came to dinner together? That's unbelievable! The lead actress and the second lead actress in the show didn't have any fights?"

"What do you know? I heard they seem to be waiting for someone inside."

"Who is it? It's not a man, is it?"

You're overthinking it.

While the paparazzi were chatting, Cao Kun appeared at the restaurant entrance.

When the paparazzi saw someone approaching, they immediately looked at him, but only glanced at him before ignoring him.

Ordinary people, especially Asians, are completely uninterested even if they are very handsome and have a unique temperament.

"Do you think the person Reed and Julie are waiting for might be this guy?"

A paparazzo whispered a question to Cao Kun's retreating figure.

"Haha, do you even believe that yourself?"

"Hahaha……"

The paparazzi all laughed.

Hearing these conversations, Cao Kun continued walking, a smile playing on his lips.

A few minutes later.

Cao Kun grasped Angelina's and Winona's hands with his left and right hands respectively, and began the yin-yang balance adjustment that took place every three days.

If the paparazzi outside saw this scene, they would definitely be shocked.

Three minutes later, the adjustment was finished, and the two women quickly picked up mirrors to look at themselves.

Upon looking into the mirror, their eyes seemed to be glued to it, impossible to remove.

Cao Kun tapped the table: "Stop taking pictures, let's order, I'm hungry."

The two women then put down the mirror and called over a waiter.

After ordering, Angelina looked at Cao Kun and said, "In my next film, why don't you play a role in it again?"

Vinona immediately retorted, "Why you? Even Cao Cao can come here."

Angelina: "Didn't you hear? I brought it up first."

After a few heated exchanges, Winona suggested, "How about we collaborate on another movie, and you continue to play a supporting role for me?"

Angelina's face darkened: "You wish! Why should I always play second fiddle to you?"

Viona proudly puffed out her chest: "Because I'm more famous than you."

Angelina was speechless.

At this time, Winona was indeed much more popular than Angelina.

However, Angelina didn't have Cao Kun's divination results to back her up, and in just a moment, the confidence on her face returned.

Seeing that the two women were about to start arguing again, Cao Kun shouted, "Shut up, both of you! Did you ask for my opinion?"

Do you think my time is so worthless? A few tens of thousands of dollars for a lousy role? How am I supposed to survive?

Viona: "You can earn 20,000 every three days."

Cao Kun: "If I don't act, can't I earn that 20,000 yuan?"
