Although many religions have different worldviews, they all invariably mention one concept, and that was the Degenerate Age of Dharma.
To put it in layman’s terms, these religions believe that the continuous development of human beings had gradually reduced the interaction between human beings and nature, heaven and earth, and the universe, thus widening the distance between human beings and God.
According to Taoists, the world was originally full of Reiki, and humans could ascend to immortality as long as humans could master the method of absorbing and transforming Reiki. However, Reiki in nature was almost exhausted now, and humans had lost the possibility of ascending to immortality, so this was what they regarded as the Degenerate Age of Dharma.
Regardless of whether this statement was true or false, the personal experience of those who had mastered Reiki was that there was no Reiki in nature. They could only use pills or special items containing Reiki if they wanted to obtain Reiki.
Mr. Chardon relied on the pills given by the British Lord to gradually master Reiki. Over the years, the method for him to obtain Reiki was not only through the pills given by the British Lord but also through the special formation that the British Lord had set up inside the Qing Eliminating Society’s base.
When this formation was running, it would produce Reiki continuously. Although the Reiki produced was not much, it was still a considerable amount over the years.
The four great earls from the Qing Eliminating Society were also fortunate enough to have the opportunity to cultivate in seclusion with the formation over the past few years. However, most of the time, the formation only served the British Lord alone.
The four great earls from the Qing Eliminating Society were extremely sensitive to traces of Reiki around them because of this situation, just like a starving rat that was extremely sensitive to the taste of food.
Mr. Chardon only owned one magical instrument in this life, and it was a wooden sword that the British Lord had given to him. The wooden sword had a formation with offensive capabilities, and Mr. Chardon had nothing else to offer aside from that.
With that in mind, he instantly had the intention to get his hands on this ring.
Thus, he pretended to look around and approached Landon before asking him, “Excuse me, young man, sorry to bother you, but I would like to ask what I should do if I want to go to the city center?”
Landon looked at Mr. Chardon. When he saw that he was just an inconspicuous old man, he replied indifferently, “Do you still need to ask? Don’t the taxi, subway, and airport bus lead to the city center?”
“Oh, you’re right.” Mr. Chardon was very dissatisfied with Landon’s attitude, but he did not have any intention of getting angry. After all, this only strengthened his assessment of Landon.
