Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 419: Chapter 419 Birthday Banquet About to Begin

At the moment, Lin Dong was still inside the villa.

He was boiling medicine.

Just then, the phone rang.

It was a call from Zhou Tianming: ”Mr. Lin Dong, I’ve taken care of the matter you entrusted to me.”

”The Hotel General Manager, I’ve also sent Xiaoyue to dismiss him...”

Zhou Tianming made this call to report the situation.

This matter couldn’t afford to make Lin Dong dissatisfied with their Zhou Shi Clan.

Lin Dong nodded, ready to hang up, when Zhou Tianming spoke again, ”Mr. Lin Dong, there’s one more thing.”

”My grandfather, having heard about Elder Qiao’s sixtieth birthday, is planning to come in person to extend his birthday wishes to Elder Qiao. Is that okay?”

Hearing this, Lin Dong was somewhat surprised.

He didn’t refuse and nodded, ”Okay.”

”That’s great,” Zhou Tianming said, elated. ”Then Mr. Lin Dong, I won’t disturb you any longer, I’ll hang up now.”

After hanging up the phone, Lin Dong didn’t give it much more thought.

If the Zhou Shi Clan couldn’t handle even this small matter well, then they weren’t worthy of Lin Dong relying on them as a backing.

At the moment, he focused all his attention on boiling the medicine.

This time, it was three Strains of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures.

Lin Dong was trying such an amount for the first time.

After several hours, the medicine was finally ready.

The medicinal effects of the three Strains of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures were all condensed into a bowl of potion.

With the rich medicinal fragrance wafting to his nose, Lin Dong let it cool down a bit before drinking it down in large gulps.

”Gulp gulp gulp...”

He drank a large bowl of the potion in one go.

After finishing the potion, he immediately sat cross-legged and started to circulate the ”Nine Shift Longevity Secret.”

Spiritual Energy from the surroundings surged into his body.

They pulled along the force of the medicine within him, transforming it into a continuous flow of Inner Qi that poured into the center of his Dantian.

The Inner Qi within Lin Dong’s Dantian grew thicker and thicker.

His Inner Qi, like water, began to slowly condense.

They gathered at the wellspring in the center of his Dantian.

That wellspring showed signs of forming an ”Inner Elixir”.

Previously, Lin Dong was about seven Strains of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures short of breaking through to the ’Internal Qi Conversion Pill’ realm.

Now, having consumed three Strains of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, he was only short of four more Strains.

It took him several more hours to fully absorb the potency of these three Strains of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures.

Afterwards, Lin Dong opened his eyes.

”Huff...”

He exhaled a breath which instantly flew out from the villa.

”Poof...”

This breath struck a man in black hiding in the shadows of the villa’s garden.

It severed his leg cleanly!

The man in black was shocked, he picked up his severed leg through the pain, attempting to escape.

But at this moment, Lin Dong had already appeared in front of him.

”Who are you?” Lin Dong asked coldly.

The man didn’t reply.

Seeing this, Lin Dong said coldly, ”Since you won’t talk, then die!”

After speaking, he exhaled another breath, severing the man’s neck.

After killing him, Lin Dong made a call to Sister Hong.

”Come over to No. 1 Villa in Wuying Resort later and clean up a corpse,” Lin Dong instructed.

”Yes!”

After hanging up the phone, Lin Dong left the place.

It was night now, and Lin Dong found several missed calls on his phone.

They were all from Qiao Bing.

Because he was focused on refining the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures earlier, he had missed these calls.

He quickly returned the call.

”Lin Dong, are you alright? Why didn’t you pick up the phone?” Qiao Bing asked worriedly on the other end.

Lin Dong shook his head, ”I’m fine, I was just caught up with something and didn’t get to the phone.”

”Oh, good. I called to invite you over tonight. We’re going to discuss Grandpa’s birthday banquet,” Qiao Bing said from the other end.

”Okay, I’ll come over now.”

After hanging up, Lin Dong headed to the Qiao Family residence.

Soon, he arrived at the Qiao Family home.

As he entered, he found the living room was full of people.

Even Qiao Xue, who was usually very busy, was there today.

Seeing Lin Dong arrive, Chu Yunxiu frowned, ”You useless thing, why are you here?”

”He’s probably come to boast again,” Chu Lan rolled her eyes and said, ”I bet he’s going to claim again that the Qiao Family getting the hotel booking and the General Manager being fired was because of him.”

At these words, Lin Dong frowned and said, ”That was indeed because of me; otherwise, whose doing would it be?”

”Hahaha...” At his words, Chu Lan burst into hysterical laughter.

”I told you so, he’s here to boast again. It’s exactly like that!”

Chu Yunxiu also said, ”Lin Dong, stop making a fool of yourself here. Because of you? Are you even worthy?”

”All of this is thanks to our Xiaoxue finding Lin Tiance, Young Master Lin.”

”Lin Tiance?” Lin Dong was surprised. What did this have to do with him?

”You’re going to boast that even Lin Tiance, Young Master Lin, isn’t taken seriously by you?” Chu Lan ridiculed him.

Lin Dong didn’t say anything, understanding that there had been a misunderstanding.

He knew that an explanation wouldn’t make a difference now; they wouldn’t believe him.

Moreover, Lin Dong couldn’t be bothered to explain.

He left with the words, ”On the day of the birthday banquet, everything will become clear!”

After leaving these words, he bid farewell to Qiao Bing and promptly left.

Seeing this, Chu Lan commented, ”Xiaoxue, why keep such a boyfriend? Are you saving him for the Lunar New Year or what?”

Chu Yunxiu added, ”Xiaoxue, break up with him quickly. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being unsympathetic!”

Qiao Bing’s heart tightened. She didn’t want it to come to that.

”Mom, at grandpa’s birthday banquet, Lin Dong will definitely surprise you,” she said.

”Him? As long as he doesn’t embarrass us, that will be enough!” Chu Yunxiu sneered, clearly disbelieving.

Chu Lan also said, ”It would be best not to let him attend the banquet. Otherwise, he might start boasting again, and if he does, he’ll really make a spectacle of himself!”

At these words, many people nodded their heads in agreement with her suggestion.

In the end, it was Elder Qiao who spoke up:

”Enough, everyone. Apart from the relationship between Xiaobing and him, just for calling me Grandfather Qiao, he must be invited to the birthday banquet.”

”As for his habit of boasting, I will scold him when the time comes and get him to correct it,” Elder Qiao said.

Hearing this, Chu Yunxiu and the others willingly shut their mouths and said no more.

Seeing this, Qiao Bing sighed inwardly.

She hadn’t expected even her grandfather to think that Lin Dong was just boasting.

Now, all she could do was to wait for the birthday banquet to begin quickly, hoping for Lin Dong to prove everyone wrong.
