Extraordinary Medical Saint in the City
Chapter 134: Oh? Is he threatening me?

Chapter 134: Chapter 134: Oh? Is he threatening me?

After leaving the Gu Family’s home.

Gai Ruoyan drove her red BMW, heading straight to the Jinling Riverfront.

Following the riverside road, speeding all the way, she finally stopped outside a Western restaurant by the river.

Kobe beef steak and Lafite wine were served on the table!

Lin Fan and Gai Ruoyan sat by the floor-to-ceiling window with a view of the river.

With one glance, they could see the distant glow of the sunset.

"The steak here is quite good; it’s specially transported from Kobe. Whenever I’m feeling troubled, I come here alone to eat it. Today, I brought you along!"

Gai Ruoyan said with a smile.

Lin Fan was not pretentious and picked up the knife and fork, cutting a piece of steak to taste, and nodded, "Indeed, it’s very good!"

"Cheers! Thank you for helping out the Gu Family today. If it weren’t for you, I really wouldn’t have known what to do!"

Gai Ruoyan took the initiative to pick up her glass.

After a gulp of wine, under the influence of the alcohol, Gai Ruoyan’s pretty face was slightly flushed!

Lin Fan gazed at Gai Ruoyan and couldn’t help saying, "You really resemble my mom!"

"Pfft!"

Hearing Lin Fan’s words, Gai Ruoyan let out a laugh and teased, "Is this how you hit on girls? What an old-fashioned move!"

"It’s not a move. You really do resemble my mom. Even though you don’t look alike, your temperament, as well as your words and demeanor, are very similar to hers," Lin Fan sighed lightly.

"Ah?"

Gai Ruoyan was taken aback and realized that Lin Fan did not seem to be lying, "Where is your mom now? When we have time, you can introduce us!"

"She has passed away."

"Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t know," Gai Ruoyan said somewhat apologetically to Lin Fan.

"It’s okay."

Lin Fan shook his head gently.

He picked up his wine glass and took a light sip.

Then he took out a Jade Bottle and said, "There are a hundred Essence Nourishing Pills in here. Consider it as compensation for not providing Elixirs to the Gu Family for nearly a year. I’m giving you a bit extra at once this time!"

"One hundred pills!"

Gai Ruoyan’s beautiful eyes widened, nearly stunned!

The price the Gu Family paid Lin Fan for one Essence Nourishing Pill was a whopping billion RMB!

After all, it was an Elixir that could extend an ordinary person’s life by three years!

Under the operation of the Gu Family’s auction house.

Aside from the one sold at the auction and the one consumed by Elder Ye, the transaction price for nearly every one of the remaining Elixirs was over a billion!

Here were one hundred Elixirs!

Even at the lowest price of a billion per pill, that would be a value of a hundred billion!

And this hundred billion was right inside this small Jade Bottle!

"Cough cough, my apologies, I’ve lost my composure!"

Gai Ruoyan coughed lightly and turned her cheek away quickly.

Trying her best not to look at those hundred Essence Nourishing Pills!

"But... but these hundred Elixirs are worth at least a hundred billion RMB, our Gu Family... doesn’t have that much cash!"

"It’s okay, you can pay me after you’ve sold the Elixirs," Lin Fan shook his head lightly.

Gai Ruoyan hesitated for a moment before smiling and saying, "Mr. Lin, you have done a great favor for the Gu Family, and now you’re directly giving us these Elixirs worth a hundred billion for sale, I truly have no way to repay you!"

"Since that’s the case, the only thing I can do is tell you that the seeds of the medicinal materials you need were all brought out from the Kunlun Ruins!"

"Kunlun Ruins?" Lin Fan’s heart stirred.

He hadn’t expected that the seeds of the Tianxuan Fruit were actually products of the Kunlun Ruins!

No wonder he had searched through the herbal compendiums from all over the world.

And never saw any of the Spiritual Medicines, as it turns out, they originated from the Kunlun Ruins!

Such being the case, it is not hard to explain why there is no record of it in human society!

"That’s right, and Elder Ye is also from the Ye Family of Kunlun Ruins. He returned to Kunlun Ruins half a year ago, so our Gu Family has fallen into such a plight!" Gai Ruoyan sighed.

"Okay, I got it!" Lin Fan nodded lightly.

He had been to the Kunlun Ruins several times before.

However, his experiences were only related to the training at the Medicine God Palace and did not delve deep, only reaching the periphery.

As for what it was like inside, Lin Fan had no idea.

He only knew that place did not belong to Earth, or to put it another way, it was a junction between Earth and other worlds.

Soon after finishing the steak, Lin Fan stood up, preparing to leave.

"Mr. Lin, the night view along the riverfront is quite nice. Would you be interested in a walk together?"

Gai Ruoyan summoned up the courage to speak just before Lin Fan left.

This woman, with her classical charm, at that instant, felt her heart fluttering like a little deer, her fair cheeks blushing, and her delicate fists clenched tightly, whitening her slender, jade-like fingers!

This was her first time taking the initiative to ask a man out in over twenty years!

In the past, it was always others who asked her out!

"No need, I have some matters to attend to, I’m heading back to Jiangnan City."

Lin Fan declined indifferently and then disappeared into the night.

Being single by choice, one can’t help but admire it!

Gai Ruoyan, watching Lin Fan’s retreating figure.

A strong sense of loss surfaced in her heart!

’Didn’t he say I resembled his mother? Why then would he reject my invitation, am I not good enough?’ she wondered.

...

Three days later.

Lin Fan sat in the grand hall of Villa Number One on Eight Public Mountain.

Longze Xue Ji stood not far in front of him, holding a folder that contained the future development blueprint for the Medical Saint Palace.

"Master, the Medical Saint Palace has been fully registered, and the first batch of elixirs has been put on sale to the outside world. The response has been very positive!" Longze Xue Ji reported with a smile.

"The day before yesterday afternoon, Jiang Yunzhi and others held a press conference in Jiangnan City. Many wealthy individuals, after learning about the efficacy of the Medical Saint Palace’s elixirs, flocked to it!

"Since yesterday morning, major hospitals in Jiangnan Province have expressed their wish to collaborate with our Medical Saint Palace!"

"In just three days, the price of the Burst Vein Pill has been driven up to five million RMB a piece by those martial artists, while the Tiger Bone Pill has reached even higher, at eight million RMB each!"

"But that’s not the most important part. You know what’s the most terrifying? The Beauty Preserving Pill. Its price, driven up by those wealthy ladies in the circle, shot straight to ten million a pill! Jiang Yunzhi is very adept at using scarcity marketing, releasing less than a hundred Beauty Preserving Pills in total, causing the entire wealthy circle of Jiangnan Province to go mad for it!"

"Now, the doorstep of the Jiang Family is practically being trampled by those elites!"

Listening to Longze Xue Ji’s report.

Lin Fan gently nodded, as if he had expected this all along.

The impact of these elixirs on the medical and beauty industries.

Is like suddenly appearing on a battlefield filled with swords and bows during the cold weapons era, driving a tank that crushes everything, one can imagine the shock it would cause to people!

"Understood."

Lin Fan replied casually.

These matters could be handled by his subordinates; he just needed to stay behind the scenes!

"Master, there’s one more thing. Yesterday afternoon, the patriarch of Wan Family from Lin State sent an invitation, asking you to attend the Medicine King Conference in seven days," Longze Xue Ji reported, closing the folder in her hand.

"Medicine King Conference?"

Lin Fan’s brow wrinkled slightly as he continued to inquire, "Did the Wan Family say anything else?"

"Master, you truly are prescient! The patriarch of the Wan Family also mentioned that the way you are selling elixirs does not comply with the rules of the Elixir Medicine World and asked you to shut down the Medical Saint Palace! If you don’t comply, those people in the Elixir Medicine World might take certain measures during the Medicine King Conference!" Longze Xue Ji’s voice continued.

"Oh? Is he threatening me?" Lin Fan narrowed his eyes, a cold gleam flashing within.
