Jon Delson was overjoyed; this was exactly what he had been waiting for from Jiang Chen.
"If I could live a few more years, my life would belong to you, Master. I am willing to serve you like a loyal dog, dedicating myself until my last breath," Delson said hastily.
"Alright, let's see how you perform in the future," Jiang Chen interrupted. This old man, if it weren't for his white face, Jiang Chen would really think he was one of the Huaxia people. But this was also good; it meant that Jiang Chen could send him to handle matters abroad in the future.
As Jiang Chen spoke, he took out a pill.
"This is the Life-Extending Pill, which can extend your life by ten years. Take it now; I will help you refine it," Jiang Chen said.
Jon Delson respectfully accepted the pill and took a look at it. The fragrant aroma of the Life-Extending Pill filled his nostrils, refreshing his spirit.
"Master, I will take it now," Jon Delson said as he looked at Jiang Chen and swallowed the Life-Extending Pill in one gulp.
As the pill entered his stomach, it transformed into strands of life force that nourished his aging body. Jiang Chen used Spiritual Energy to assist the old man in refining the pill, allowing its effects to be fully realized.
Five minutes later, Jon Delson opened his eyes. He raised his hands and looked down at his skin, which resembled old tree bark; surprisingly, many wrinkles had diminished. This was an external change, but internally, he could clearly feel the vitality he had lost returning to him. Now his body felt similar to that of a sixty-year-old—his breathing was smooth and his muscles strong.
"I grant you ten more years of life. If you serve well as a servant, there will be another ten years; if not, you won't even last these ten years. Do you understand?" Jiang Chen said.
Jon Delson came back to his senses and immediately knelt before Jiang Chen. Although he wasn't sure if Jiang Chen could contend with the Undying Dragon Clan, the fact that Jiang Chen could give him an extra ten years of life was enough to make Jon Delson submit.
"Master, I will do my utmost and will not disappoint you," Jon Delson declared loudly.
"Get up now, tidy up and leave here. I will contact you when I need something," Jiang Chen instructed.
In the evening, Jon Delson boarded his private yacht and evacuated everyone from the island. He left Jiang Chen a special mobile phone that was highly advanced; on the outside, it looked like an ordinary smartphone, but with Jiang Chen's fingerprint, it could dial satellite phones and access both the Dark Web and Black Web.
Jiang Chen did not inquire about matters concerning the Dark World; he wasn't interested in those issues. However, he had given Jon Delson tasks during his seclusion for cultivation. He asked Jon Delson to investigate the whereabouts of four remaining divine artifacts.
Now, among the Seven Divine Artifacts, only the Five Element Spirit Orbs, Divine Bone Order, Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings, and Devouring Heaven Bottle remained. With Jon Delson's status in the Dark World, he should be able to uncover some leads. Previously, Jon Delson had been reluctant to investigate the Seven Great Artifacts of Huaxia because just one Immortal Dragon Seal had made him live in constant fear; he worried that other artifacts might pose similar hidden dangers. But since Jiang Chen had spoken up this time, he naturally had to spare no effort in finding their whereabouts. Having gained this extra ten years of life, he wanted to secure another ten by performing well.
After assigning tasks to Delson, Jiang Chen took out his phone and called Lin Yin to inform her that he would be in seclusion for a few months so they wouldn't worry. After all, the three people at Quiet Villa knew that Jiang Chen had gone out to sea; if he didn't call back to report his safety, Lin Yin, Ye Ming, and Chen Zhi might think something had happened to him at sea.
