Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 607: Chapter 607: Return to Buy Resuscitating Pills

About two hours later, Qiao Xue and Chu Yunxiu returned.

Chu Yunxiu came with just a suitcase.

In addition to a suitcase, Qiao Xue also brought some gifts.

”Grandpa, Little Bing, these are the gifts I bought for you guys in the Capital City,” she said.

She handed the gifts to Qiao Guoting and Qiao Bing respectively.

What Qiao Guoting received were some health care products.

What Qiao Bing received, on the other hand, were cosmetics.

After accepting their gifts, Qiao Guoting asked with a smile, ”Xiaoxue, Yun Xiu, are you guys back for the Lunar New Year celebration?”

Both Qiao Xue and Chu Yunxiu shook their heads.

Chu Yunxiu spoke directly, ”Old Patriarch, we are not back for the Lunar New Year. We’ve come to take you to the Capital City to celebrate it.”

”Though Tian Ce is currently in seclusion, the Old Ancestor of the Lin Family has already invited us to spend New Year at the Lin Family,” she said.

”This shows that she acknowledges Xiaoxue’s identity as the future granddaughter-in-law.”

”And it means our whole family can celebrate the Lunar New Year in the Capital City!”

Upon hearing these words, both Qiao Guoting and Qiao Bing’s expressions slightly wrinkled.

Naturally, the two of them couldn’t possibly follow them to celebrate New Year in the Capital City.

Qiao Guoting immediately shook his head and said, ”We won’t be joining you guys for New Year in the Capital City; we’ve promised Lin Dong to go to his Hometown for the New Year.”

”What?” Chu Yunxiu and Qiao Xue both looked very surprised, with Chu Yunxiu even exclaiming loudly, ”Old Patriarch, Little Bing, what are you guys thinking?”

”Why would you choose some mountain valley over celebrating New Year with the Lin Family from the Capital City?”

”What good food can you even get celebrating New Year in that mountain valley?”

”Stop joking; pack up your stuff now, and let’s celebrate New Year with the Lin Family in the Capital City,” she urged.

”That’s the Lin Family from the Capital City we’re talking about; even just visiting them is a tremendous honor, let alone being invited to spend the New Year with them.”

”Celebrating New Year there, your social status would skyrocket afterward...”

Listening to Chu Yunxiu’s argument, both Qiao Guoting and Qiao Bing still shook their heads.

The Lin Family was certainly powerful and influential, and during the New Year, they did indeed have an array of delicacies from the mountains and the seas.

Celebrating the New Year with them would also mean meeting a lot of influential figures and befriending several nobles. But Qiao Guoting and Qiao Bing didn’t care about any of that.

All they wanted was to spend this New Year with Lin Dong.

Seeing the determination of Qiao Guoting and Qiao Bing not to spend New Year with the Lin Family in the Capital City and instead insisting on following Lin Dong to his Hometown, Chu Yunxiu couldn’t help but glare at Lin Dong.

She angrily said, ”Lin Dong, what kind of soul-bewitching drug have you given to the Old Patriarch and Qiao Bing, to make them so determined to go with you to some rural backwater to celebrate?”

Lin Dong spoke in a deep voice, ”Aunty, please respect Grandfather Qiao’s and Sister Bing’s decisions. Where they choose to spend New Year is their right to decide.”

”Moreover, celebrating New Year isn’t about how bustling a place is, but whether you can be with your relatives.”

”What are you implying? Are we not their relatives?” Chu Yunxiu said discontentedly.

”What I mean is, the Lin Family isn’t their relative. You, for the sake of clinging to the powerful, have already regarded the Lin Family as relatives without even marrying Lin Tiance, and they don’t stop you. But now they don’t wish to consider the Lin Family as relatives, so you shouldn’t stop them either,” said Lin Dong.

Qiao Guoting was equally resolute, ”Alright, let’s not discuss this matter further. We’ve decided and it’s not possible for us to celebrate the New Year in the Capital City with you.”

”If you guys choose to stay in Jianghai for the New Year, then Little Bing and I will stay too. If you are unwilling to stay in Jianghai, then we will go with Lin Dong to his Hometown to celebrate!

”What’s your decision?”

Clearly, neither Chu Yunxiu nor Qiao Xue wanted to stay in Jianghai for the New Year.

”Grandpa, we must go to the Lin Family in the Capital City to celebrate the New Year,” Qiao Xue said. ”I must curry favor with the Lin Family in advance and improve our relationship.”

Chu Yunxiu nodded, ”What Xiaoxue said is right. Since you’ve resolved not to celebrate New Year in the Capital City, then let’s celebrate separately.”

”Actually, we came back this time also for another matter,” Qiao Xue added.

”What’s that?” Qiao Bing asked curiously.

”I heard in the Capital City that someone in Jianghai is selling a kind of Dan medicine that can extend life, called the Resuscitating Pill.”

”This Resuscitating Pill can extend life by three years, and costs two billion per piece. We plan to buy one and give it as a gift to the Old Patriarch of the Lin Family during the Lunar New Year.”

Qiao Xue’s words were shocking.

”You want to buy a Resuscitating Pill?” Lin Dong asked with an odd expression, ”And give it to the Old Patriarch of the Lin Family?”

”Yes!” Qiao Xue nodded.

Qiao Guoting then looked at Lin Dong, knowing that the Resuscitating Pill was refined by him and indeed could extend life; he himself was able to live an additional three years because he had taken Lin Dong’s pill.

He had not expected, however, that Lin Dong would actually start selling it.

Two billion per piece?

If Lin Dong had given him three pieces, wasn’t that equivalent to giving him six billion?

Such a favor was indeed substantial!

”Sister, where did you get so much money to buy a twenty-billion pill?” Qiao Bing couldn’t help but ask.

Hearing this, Chu Yunxiu couldn’t help but laugh.

Qiao Xue also smiled and said, ”Of course, I earned it.”

”Thanks to the connections with the Lin Family from the Capital City, my business in the Capital City made me close to several billion in less than a month.”

”Combined with the several hundred million I already had, I can barely muster up twenty billion!”

”So, sister, you’re planning to spend all your money to buy a Resuscitating Pill and give it away? Is it worth it?” Qiao Bing asked again.

”Of course, it’s worth it.” Before Qiao Xue could respond, Chu Yunxiu interrupted, ”You guys have no idea about the power of the Lin Family from the Capital City. To please the Old Ancestor, not to mention twenty billion, even more money would be worth it.”

”It’s an investment! And soon enough, we can earn it all back through the connections with the Lin Family!”

”Besides, who knows, the Old Ancestor might be pleased and directly give Xiaoxue an industry from the clan, which would be an even bigger gain!”

As Chu Yunxiu said this, she suddenly turned to Lin Dong.

She couldn’t help but boast, ”Lin Dong, to tell you the truth, you’re doing okay with your Divine Doctor status and you have pretty good connections, but compared to the Lin Clan; it’s still the difference as vast as cloud and mud.”

”Our Xiaoxue, merely by leveraging the relationship with the Lin Family, made close to several billion in less than a month.”

”That’s several billion we’re talking about. Lin Dong, even as a Divine Doctor, you’d have a hard time making that much just by treating illnesses in your lifetime, right?”
