Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2279
Watching as the old man then pushed the chicken toward him with a grin, Gerald simply nodded before
saying, “I appreciate it, senior.”
Biting into a drumstick, Gerald couldn’t help but feel that it was a special treat to be able to enjoy a
piece of hot and crispy fried chicken in such cold weather. Regardless, once he had his fill, Gerald sat
by the fire to rest. Seeing that, the old man then got up to start looking for the book that contained
information about the Northbay Sea.
After a while, Gerald couldn’t help but feel bored. Staring at the fire before him, he was suddenly
reminded of the old man’s ability to conjure fire out of thin air. Since Jobson could do the same, Gerald
was prompted to ask, “Say, senior? Do you know anything about ninjas?”
“No idea what they are,” replied the old man as he picked another dusty book up before starting to flip
through it.
“I see… Well, back when I was in Japan, I met an elder who was capable of summoning fire out of thin
air, just like you,” said Gerald.
Pausing for a moment, the old man then replied, “He’s pretty strong, then.”
“Indeed… I wonder when I’ll get to that level,” said Gerald as he looked at his palm, trying to figure out
how it was done. After all, creating fire out of thin air was almost magical in nature.
“You’ll find out once you better understand the Herculean Primordial Spirit or Devotion Mirror,” replied
the old man as he pointed at Gerald’s chest.
Looking at where the old man was pointing at, Gerald realized that he was pointing directly at his
supposedly well hidden mirror! From the moment he had left the Grubb manor, Gerald had kept the
mirror close to him at all times, fearing that he might identally lose it.
However, though he hadn’t mentioned it from the moment he entered the cave, the old man had
apparently known about it from the very start! Fully aware that he had also been particrly careful to
conceal it while changing earlier, the surprised Gerald couldn’t help but mutter, “Senior, you…”
“You’re wondering why I know you have the mirror, correct?” replied the old man with a smirk as he
casually tossed the book in his hand to the top of the shelf.
Watching as Gerald nodded in response, the old man then added in a rather disdainful tone, “If I was
able to detect your Herculean Primordial Spirit, what makes you think that you can hide the Devotion
Mirror from me? It’s nothing special!”
The way he said it made it sound like the Grubb family’s ancestral treasure was nothing more than a
common cabbage.
After pondering for a moment, Gerald then asked, “Then… Do you and the old senior I mentioned
possess powers stronger than the Herculean Primordial Spirit?”

“Negative. In case you haven’t noticed, the Herculean Primordial Spirit is something all cultivators
yearn for. If I had it, I’d certainly not remain stagnant at my current cultivating level. In fact, I’d probably
have advanced to another legendary realm! Regardless, there’s no point talking about all this to a
newbie like you,” replied the old man with a frown, making it evident that he believed that Gerald
wouldn’t understand him even if he tried to exin things.
“Then… Why do I have to fully understand the power of the Herculean Primordial Spirit before I can
attain a cultivation level like yours…?” asked Gerald who had constantly been fumbling throughout his
path of bing a better cultivator. With that said, since it wasn’t easy toe across someone who
knew their stuff in terms of cultivation, there was no way he was going to miss this chance to learn from
the old man.
Upon hearing that, the old man tossed his book away before sitting before Gerald and saying, “Alright,
listen up.”
