Supreme Hidden Dragon in the City
Chapter 250: That’s just over a hundred billion.

Chapter 250: Chapter 250: That’s just over a hundred billion.

Qin Xiu smiled and said, "This card contains the Medicine Sect’s entire revenue for this year. Now that you are the Sect Master of the Medicine Sect, this money is for you to use."

Chen Fan quickly replied, "No need, no need. I’m not short of money. Besides, if I take this money, how will the Medicine Sect continue to operate?"

Qin Xiu smiled and said, "It’s just one year’s revenue. The bulk of the Medicine Sect’s assets are still intact, so maintaining operations is naturally not an issue. Although the Medicine Sect is located on an island, we are not isolated from the world. We have cooperations with many pharmaceutical companies inland. Of course, they are usually the ones eagerly seeking to work with us. Moreover, the quality of the medicine produced by the Medicine Sect is first-class; everyone vies for it, so the profits are very high. We make quite a bit of money every year."

Chen Fan raised an eyebrow and asked, "So how much money is in this card?"

Qin Xiu thought for a moment and said, "About more than a thousand billion."

The expression on Chen Fan’s face instantly froze, and then he looked at the bank card in his hand with disbelief, exclaiming, "More than a thousand billion? That much!"

He had originally thought that the Medicine Sect, as a Martial Arts sect, would only be dabbling in business and wouldn’t make much money. He never expected that their annual revenue would be more than a thousand billion— it was shockingly high!

To know that Qingfan Pharmaceuticals, even after acquiring Lu Pharmaceuticals and becoming the leader in Jiangbei Province’s pharmaceutical industry, was only valued at a few hundred billion.

Qingfan Pharmaceuticals couldn’t even compare to half of the Medicine Sect’s annual revenue!

The Tang Family’s enterprises were much larger than Qingfan Pharmaceuticals and spanned various industries, but even their annual revenue was probably not as much as the Medicine Sect’s.

Seeing Chen Fan’s shocked expression, Qin Xiu revealed a smug look.

"Indeed... businesses related to illness and medication are the most profitable," Chen Fan muttered to himself.

Qin Xiu continued, "The Medicine Sect’s business spans across every province inland, and we have designated representatives in each province. I will give you a list of their names and contact information later. If you need anything, you can arrange for them to work for you. Our partners are generally the big companies in various regions, so these representatives have some social status locally. They will give you face, so long as they aren’t our sworn enemies."

Chen Fan nodded. Having the Medicine Sect’s connections would make things more convenient for the development of Qingfan Pharmaceuticals.

He didn’t continue to refuse, instead taking the bank card and putting it away.

He then went over to the table, glanced at the six strands of Thousand-Year Elixir, and said, "I’ll take three of these Spiritual Medicines. The rest can stay here."

Qin Xiu nodded.

At this moment, Yang Tianzhen came over somewhat embarrassedly and said, "Grand Sect Master Chen, could you give me one strand of Thousand-Year Elixir?"

Chen Fan turned to look at Yang Tianzhen and asked with puzzlement, "What do you want it for?"

Yang Tianzhen said nervously, "Well... my grandfather hasn’t been in good health recently, and he was poisoned the other day. It was only with great difficulty that he recovered. I’m worried that he doesn’t have many years left, so I wanted a strand of Spiritual Medicine to help him regain his strength."

Yang Wanli’s eyes bulged in disbelief, thinking to himself that he was hale and hearty. ’How could you curse me like this?’ He opened his mouth somewhat angrily, "Tianzhen, you..."

Yang Tianzhen immediately turned her head and snapped, "Don’t talk!"

Chen Fan smiled, didn’t ask any further, and said, "Since that’s the case, you can have one."

After the matter of the new Sect Master was settled, Qin Xiu handed over some responsibilities to Chen Fan and made an announcement to the entire sect.

Not a single person in the sect raised an objection.

With everything taken care of, Chen Fan said that all his business here was concluded and it was time for him to leave.

Embracing the idea that he was beholden for the assistance he had received, he left Qin Xiu with a substantial amount of the Cultivation World’s alchemical methods, as well as some elixir recipes that the people of the Medicine Sect were capable of refining at their current stage.

For Chen Fan, these were nothing more than the most common objects. But for Qin Xiu and the others in the Medicine Sect, they were like priceless treasures, trembling with excitement.

Having arranged everything, Chen Fan, along with Yang Wanli and Yang Tianzhen, bade farewell to the members of the Medicine Sect and returned to Binhai together.

...

Binhai Airport.

Chen Fan came to the ticket counter alone.

After returning to Binhai, Yang Wanli said that the ancestral Jade Pendant had been retrieved after so many years, which meant he hadn’t let down his forebears, so he wanted to take Yang Tianzhen back to their hometown to pay respect to their ancestors.

The Yang family’s ancestral home wasn’t in Jiangbei but in a relatively remote mountain area accessible only by train. Therefore, Yang Wanli and Yang Tianzhen went to the railway station, while Chen Fan headed to the airport.

"Hello, I need a ticket to Jiangbei Airport," Chen Fan said.

The ticket seller sized Chen Fan up and said, "I’m very sorry, sir. The flights to Jiangbei are all sold out, except for one first-class ticket that’s over sixty thousand. Would you like it?"

Chen Fan smiled and replied, "Then first-class it is."

Now that he owned a fortune worth hundreds of billions, the cost of a first-class ticket was naturally not a concern for him.

Seeing Chen Fan agree so readily, the ticket seller revealed a hint of surprise, thinking he probably had an emergency at home and needed to return urgently. She felt a bit sorry for the man, considering the ticket probably cost him an entire year’s salary.

"Will that be cash or card?" the seller asked.

Chen Fan handed over the bank card given to him by Qin Xiu.

As the ticket seller took the card, she inwardly hoped it wouldn’t embarrass both of them by showing insufficient funds once swiped.

However, she was stunned when she saw the design of the bank card.

"This is... the Huaxia Divine Dragon Card!"

The ticket seller’s eyes gradually widened as shock spread across her face.

When she first started working here, the manager had explained to her that the holdes of the Huaxia Divine Dragon Card were the most prestigious guests at the airport, entitled to the highest level of service.

There was just one reason for that: anyone who could apply for and secure a Huaxia Divine Dragon Card had to possess assets of at least a hundred billion!

She never expected this ordinary-looking man wearing clothes that were at best two hundred yuan to be the holder of a Huaxia Divine Dragon Card!

Indeed, the truly wealthy are the ones who keep a low profile.

Seeing the ticket seller frozen, Chen Fan asked, "Is there a problem?"

The ticket seller stood up promptly, bowing deeply to Chen Fan, "No problem at all, esteemed guest. As the holder of a Huaxia Divine Dragon Card, you enjoy the highest privileges at our airport. I will notify the crew immediately to prepare the diamond first-class seat for you."

Chen Fan was perplexed, "What’s a diamond first-class seat?"

The ticket seller patiently explained, "The diamond first-class seat is the best and most comfortable seat in first-class. Although it’s already been reserved, you don’t need to worry. We’ll negotiate with that passenger to secure the seat for you."

Chen Fan said, "There’s no need for that, really. I’m fine sitting anywhere, and besides, doing this would offend someone, wouldn’t it?"

Yet the ticket seller flashed a respectful smile and said, "Your comfort is our utmost priority in providing service. Even if it offends another customer, we must ensure your satisfaction first. Besides, if the other customer knew you were a Huaxia Divine Dragon Cardholder, they would be more than happy to give up their seat to you."
