Extraordinary Medical Saint in the City
Chapter 129: Oh, He Said His Last Name is Lin!

Lin Fan nodded.

"This—"

Everyone present looked at each other, even Jiang Yunzhi didn’t know what to say for a moment!

"Mr. Lin, it’s not that we don’t believe in you! The main reason is that we all want to broaden our horizons. Would you mind showing us a few tricks?" a relatively wealthy patron said.

Everyone: "..."

Although they were speechless, they still lifted their heads and looked at Lin Fan.

"Xue Ji, why don’t you introduce them to everyone!"

Lin Fan walked to the side and sat down on the sofa. He had already explained these elixirs in front of Longze Xueji when he had successfully refined them.

"As you command, Master!"

Longze Xueji nodded, then stepped into the center, and the gazes of all the wealthy patrons from Ancient State also fell on Longze Xueji, waiting for her explanation.

"These are the elixirs that the master has spent three days refining, a total of five thousand pills!"

The elixirs Lin Fan had refined were simplified versions of the prescriptions from Ancient Jade, with effects far exceeding those of ordinary elixirs on Earth!

"Miss Xue Ji, we have quite an understanding of elixirs too, but we do not know, how do these elixirs compare to those on the market?" a frown appeared on Jiang Yunzhi’s brow.

"According to the master’s words, for example, this low-tier Essence Nourishing Pill, even if consumed by a terminal cancer patient, can extend their life for three months, but it can only be used once, and the second dose won’t have such a pronounced effect," Longze Xueji casually picked up an elixir and raised it in front of everyone.

"Wha... What?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked and looked at Longze Xueji with disbelief!

"This Tiger Bone Pill can increase Inner Strength. After martial artists consume it, it can speed up the condensation of Inner Strength! Martial Artists, you should know, are far richer than ordinary people, so selling one Tiger Bone Pill for three to four million each shouldn’t be a problem, right?"

"This is the Burst Vein Pill, which can triple a person’s strength within half an hour after consumption, for a duration of an hour. However, it also comes with side effects; one will be weakened for about a week afterward!"

"This is the Golden Marrow Pill..."

"This is the Snow Lotus Pill..."

Longze Xueji introduced several types of elixirs in one breath.

"Especially this last one, named the Age-defying Pill, its greatest effect is that it can make a woman maintain her current appearance without aging for three years! And it can be taken repeatedly!"

As she mentioned this, Longze Xueji’s breathing suddenly became rapid.

The moment she learned about the effects of the Age-defying Pill, she immediately consumed one!

After all, no woman wishes to see her looks fade away!

Longze Xueji even foresaw that, should the Age-defying Pill make its debut, it would have a huge impact on the fashion world, the beauty industry, and the medical field!

"Now do you still think these elixirs are useless?"

After the last word, Longze Xueji stood there proudly, surveying the crowd!

"Oh my goodness!"

"Hiss!"

Jiang Yunzhi and others couldn’t help but gasp in surprise!

"If what Miss Xue Ji said is true, the value of these elixirs is immeasurable! The price of one pill could completely buy a house!"

One pill for one house!

There are more than five thousand pills here, which is equivalent to having over five thousand sets of houses, and moreover high-end properties!

"Even the top family of Jiangnan province, the Xiao family, doesn’t have five thousand houses in its possession, right?" a wealthy patron sighed lightly.

"Heh! Five thousand houses? Is your vision really that short-sighted?" Longze Xueji scoffed coldly and shook her head in disappointment.

"What do you mean?"

Instantly, a wealthy patron took offense!

Although they revered Lin Fan, Longze Xueji was just a maid by Lin Fan’s side; they didn’t have such respect for her!

"Are you not convinced when I call you fools? Elixirs are just an auxiliary; won’t you develop your own power while selling elixirs?"

"If someone wants elixirs, they can only ingratiate themselves with you! Because in your hands, you’ve formed a monopoly, and in less than a year, will the Xiao family even be a match for you?" Longze Xueji said bluntly.

"Miss Xue Ji is right, as long as we control the elixirs, we have a monopoly! Now apologize quickly!"

Jiang Yunzhi’s face darkened.

The wealthy patron who had contested Longze Xueji’s statement quickly apologized: "I’m sorry, Miss Xue Ji, please forgive me!"

The group of wealthy patrons from Ancient State also understood!

The effects of the elixirs aren’t scary, but a monopoly is!

If a woman wants to buy the Beauty Preservation Pill, she would have no choice but to purchase it from them. A wealthy tycoon stricken by cancer wishing for a life-extending elixir can only buy it from them as well. When that time comes, wouldn’t they get to dictate whatever price they wish?

Just like diamonds, they are nothing but ordinary stones, but a single diamond can be worth tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions. This is the consequence of monopoly!

Moreover, a woman’s pursuit of beauty is endless. Knowing that there is a Beauty Preservation Pill that can keep one’s appearance unaged for three years, no matter how high the price, there are bound to be buyers!

Subsequently, Jiang Yunzhi and others gathered again to discuss the specifics and prepare to sell these elixirs under the name of ’Medical Saint Palace’!

After the people of Ancient State left the villa, clutching the elixirs as if they were priceless treasures.

"Impressive! As expected from a lady born into a major family, everything is handled in an orderly and effortless manner!"

Lin Fan praised, sitting on the couch.

"Hehe, Master, can I take that as a compliment towards me?" Longze Xue Ji smiled sweetly, her mood buoyant.

"Of course."

Lin Fan stood up and walked towards the exit of the villa!

"Master, where are you going? Do you need me to accompany you?" Longze Xue Ji asked.

"No need! I’m going to Jinling City. I made a promise to a friend to supply elixirs every month, and I’ve already delayed it for nearly a year. It’s time to fulfill that promise! You stay in Jiangnan and discuss the affairs of the Medical Saint Palace with Old Jiang and the others!" Lin Fan waved his hand and disappeared into the thick mist in a blink of an eye.

"As you command!"

...

In Jinling City, at the Gu Family.

At this moment, a group of high-ranking Gu Family members were gathered in the conference room!

"Has your Gu Family made a decision yet? Are you going to withdraw from Jinling and give up the auction house, or what?"

A young man, sitting at the head of the table with one leg crossed over the other, had a faint smile on his lips.

His gaze turned to Gai Ruoyan, dressed in a qipao with a green blouse!

"Miss Ruoyan, I truly admire you. If you would consider our affair, the debt your Gu Family owes to our Chen Family may not necessarily have to be pressed immediately!"

"Young Master Chen, you..."

Before Gai Ruoyan’s father, Gu Ronghao, could speak, Chen Yuxuan brutally interrupted him:

"Scram! Old fool, I wasn’t talking to you. Who gave you the right to butt in? Now that your Gu Family owes my Chen Family thirty billion, even a clay Buddha struggles to cross a river by itself, let alone protect others. Do you still think you are the Family Head of the Gu Family from before?"

Gu Ronghao’s face turned extremely ugly in an instant!

Ruoyan’s delicate face paled, biting her red lips and bowing her head in dejection!

The people of the Gu Family were indignant yet did not dare to speak out. How could Chen Yuxuan dare to shout and make demands in the Gu Family if it were the past?

But now, it was different. The Gu Family was experiencing financial difficulties and had incurred a huge debt of thirty billion to the Chen Family!

If this sum could not be repaid, it’s feared that from this day forward, the Gu Family of Jinling would be no more!

"Young Master Chen... could you perhaps grant us a little more time?" Gai Ruoyan asked with difficulty.

"Miss Ruoyan, it’s not that I’m unwilling to grant an extension, but how would I then answer to my own family? After all, I have no kinship with your Gu Family! Of course, if you’re willing to marry me, my grandfather would certainly be very pleased and would gladly afford the Gu Family a few more days!" Chen Yuxuan sighed lightly, pretending to be distressed.

He had long calculated such a move in his heart!

By securing a marriage with Gai Ruoyan, he could then enter the Gu Family as a son-in-law and achieve Chen Family’s control over the Gu Family!

By that time, not only would Chen Yuxuan win the beauty, but the Chen Family could also swallow the Gu Family whole – achieving two goals with one shot!

The staggering profits of the Gu Family’s auction house have been coveted by the Chen Family for a long time!

Having finally found an opportunity, how could they possibly let it slip by?

"Ruoyan, now only you can save the Gu Family!"

The people of the Gu Family all turned their gaze towards Gai Ruoyan!

Gai Ruoyan hung her head in silence!

Just at this moment, a servant rushed in!

"Report!"

"What’s the matter? Can’t you see we’re discussing important issues here?"

A Gu Family elder couldn’t help scolding, already at his wits’ end, and these servants still couldn’t read the room?

"Elder Qi, this is the situation: a young man has arrived outside, claiming to be an old acquaintance of the Third Miss, and he has come today to fulfill a promise!" the servant answered.

"Young man, what young man?"

The Gu Family’s Elder Qi furrowed his brows.

"Oh, he said his last name is Lin!"
