Dragon Emperor, Martial God

“The Lin Family’s congratulatory gift is a check for two hundred million and a piece of…”

Su Lingfei was interrupted by Ling Yun, who told her to stop telepathically.

He didn’t care about the announcement of his new fortunes, but not the Spirit Cultivation Cosmos Stone — even if it was mistaken for a Clarity Stone!

To a Huaxia ancient martial artist, a Clarity Stone was already a rarity!

Just think about it. The Spirit Cultivation Cosmos Stone could increase the speed of cultivation of a practitioner many folds. That meant that if two practitioners had the same talent, build, realm, and underwent the same amount of cultivation, the one who possessed the Spirit Cultivation Cosmos Stone would definitely be a lot more advanced than the one who didn’t have it. He would also have no possibility of going berserk!

That was equal to an endless number of lives! Who would exchange their own life for money?

Lin Zhenggang was very pleased with Ling Yun’s performance. He said no more and sat back quietly on the bench. He was waiting for this segment to end before leaving.

It was already eleven in the morning, about an hour after the ribbon cutting ceremony.

“Young chap, I’ve also prepared some humble gifts for you, would you like to see them now?” Cui Lao offered via telepathy after seeing how no one else made a move.

Ling Yun shook his head decisively. “Cui Lao, we are all practitioners. You can give me the gifts personally when we are home, there is no need to take them out here.”

Ling Yun knew very well that the winds howled around the highest peaks. He was only worried about Long Tianjiao!

Who knew what was going through Long Tianjiao’s head!

Cui Lao left for more than a month. If Cui Lao left for the purpose of preparing his congratulatory gift for Ling Yun, it must be something very precious. It might cause an unwanted uproar, which could spell trouble if word got out.

Big Brother Yun’s principle in life was to obtain unfair advantages quietly.

Ling Yun was forced into the spotlight against his will today.

Many people were using their phones to record this scene, but most of them would be disappointed when they left the Ordinary People’s Clinic.

That was because Ling Yun had instructed Bai Xianer to cast a spell over the whole clinic. Videos, photos, and even sounds wouldn’t be captured!

Bai Xianer had already used this move — the Celestial Fox Illusion — when Ling Yun erected the flag on the highest peak of Turtle Island. She had yet to obtain a human form then. It was a small feat to her now that she had obtained her human form.

The clinic quieted down. Li Yifeng stood up gradually after assuring himself that no one else was coming forward. He walked up to the desk where Su Lingfei was.

“Lingfei, can you let Uncle Li speak a few words?” Li Yifeng smiled broadly.

This was the most powerful man in Qingshui City. Everyone was holding their breaths once he stood up. How would Su Lingfei dare not to let him speak?

Su Lingfei pulled Liang Fengyi along out of the limelight decisively.

Li Yifeng now stood behind the table and cleared his throat. “Ladies and gentlemen, good morning! I’m so happy to see you here today!”

A warm round of applause for the man!

Li Yifeng raised his hands and patted the thin air. “First, I would like to express my deep gratitude and sincere greetings to all the friends who made it to the grand opening of Ling Yun’s Ordinary People’s Clinic!”

Another round of applause.

His eloquence… His aura… Ling Yun secretly admired in his heart. Li Yifeng wasn’t the most powerful man in Qingshui City for nothing.

He wanted to know what Li Yifeng was going to say next.

“Ling Yun is an outstanding, top-notch doctor. Moreover, he is a Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner.

“Why do I say that? I don’t have to hide from everyone here. My son’s terminal illness was cured by Ling Yun!”

“Ling Yun is and will always be the benefactor of my Li Family!”

Li Yifeng pushed his chair away slightly and bowed deeply to Ling Yun!

“Uncle Li, you…”

Ling Yun didn’t think that Li Yifeng would actually make such a move. He was slightly flustered.

Li Yifeng did give Ling Yun the two villas at half price after all. Li Yifeng was investigated by the Discipline Inspection Commission for that. To Ling Yun, the debt for saving Li Qingchuan’s life had long been repaid.

There was no applause this time, there were only exclamations of surprise!

Secretary Li’s son had a terminal illness? Ling Yun cured him personally? Ling Yun could even cure terminal illnesses?

The words of Li Yifeng, the Provincial Party Secretary of Qingshui, dropped a huge bomb on the sea of people!

Ling Yun would always be the benefactor of Secretary Li and his family!

If that was the case…

Everyone’s gazes became a hundred times more friendly in an instant!

Li Yifeng would definitely not lie in front of so many people!

One simple sentence from Li Yifeng was enough to make the audience understand the relationship between them, as well as Ling Yun’s superb medical skills.

On such an occasion, sometimes the gift of using one’s reputation was worth much more than money!

“So that’s how it was…” Su Lingfei muttered.

“Ling Yun, you’re not bad!” someone shouted.

“Not bad!”

“So impressive!”

“No wonder, I say, how did someone so young manage to do something like opening a clinic…”

“Seems like I was right in coming. There’s hope for my son’s nerve toothache!”

“My Dad has gout…”

“I have high blood pressure…”

“My wife has diabetes…”

“My grandpa has cataracts, so hopefully he can be cured as well..”

…

The clinic bustled with liveliness again.

Li Yifeng could only raise his hands again to signal for everyone to quiet down. He had more to say.

“Because of Ling Yun’s unique medical talents, the Qingshui City Municipal Party Committee, the Municipal Government, a total of eleven standing committee members, and some senior officers in the Ministry of Health held several meetings. Today, we finally arrived at a very important and great decision, with ten votes for and one vote abstaining.”

The abstaining vote was obviously from Xie Zhenting, whose family was on the brink of collapse.

Everyone knew the crucial moment was near. They held their breaths, wondering what kind of decision it was.

“We have decided to dedicate a land area of 100 acres in Linjiang District for the construction of a large-scale medical drug research and development center. That way, Ling Yun will be able to have a quiet and conducive environment to develop drugs while he saves lives!

“I believe with Ling Yun’s medical abilities, he will definitely make it the top research and development center in Huaxia and even the world!

“What do you say about this decision? Is it good?”

Li Yifeng beamed at the audience.

Was there anyone who dared to say the decision sucked after it was announced by the Provincial Party Secretary?

If the decision sucked, why were they here giving free congratulatory money away? Did they have nothing better to do?

“Alright!”

“Brilliant!”

“This decision is too good!”

It wasn’t possible to voice any dissatisfaction even if there were some. They could only suck it up.

Li Yifeng really had the gift of gab. He had no prepared speech, yet every sentence came out clear, considerate — perfect!

Moreover, the way he emphasized certain words or paused at a certain area knocked the message bit by bit into the hearts of the audience. They accepted it subconsciously, that was the art of speech.

That wasn’t something just anyone could pull off.

“Ling Yun, you will be the director of this medical drug research and development center. Therefore, we have decided that the master-planning, construction style, process, quality, and so on, will be in your hands. You can do everything according to your wishes!

“Of course, all expenses will be paid for by the government. You don’t have to worry about it.”

If Tie Xiaohu wasn’t holding on to Tang Meng, he would probably have slumped to the ground and spat out white foam.

Oh my god. Land, construction, money, everything from soup to nuts!

This was definitely a great gift from the heavens. Medical drug research and development center? That was bullshit! It was just giving Big Brother Yun free land for a whole plantation!

Big Brother Yun would be able to turn it into another form easily after it was built. Wouldn’t that become his?

Of course, Ling Yun wouldn’t do something like that. The maintenance fees, utilities, and all other fees for such a huge piece of land would have to depend on the government!

That piece of land was probably worth one billion yuan. If they were to build this up, wouldn’t it be at least two or three billion yuan?

If he played some tricks with the raw materials and the construction of the building, it might just shoot up to five billion yuan!

It was to be managed by Big Brother Yun anyway!

Tang Meng thought of countless possibilities. Wild thoughts ran through his mind, though it all boiled down to one conclusion.

Experience counts!
