Urban Super Medical Saint

Chapter 397 396: Difficult Concessions [Congratulations to the Silver Alliance Hierarch, Bi Hai and Lan Tian]



"My father is meditating in the backyard, and I have sent someone to notify him, please wait a moment," Chen Zhengbin said politely after the guests had been seated in the reception hall.

A servant offered them tea, which was fragrant like orchids and amber in color, bright and clear. The taste was strong, mellow, refreshing, and sweet, notably it was Da Hong Pao from Wuyi Mountain.

"People from Huaxia mainly come from Fujian and Guangdong, and I, originally from Fujian, always enjoy drinking this Wuyi Da Hong Pao," Chen Zhengbin explained.

"The moon is roundest in the hometown, and the tea is best in the hometown," Ge Dongxu sipped his tea and remarked.

"What a line, 'The tea is best in the hometown!'" Ge Dongxu had just finished speaking when an old man's voice came from the doorway.

Then Ge Dongxu saw a silver-haired old man enter; he realized it must be Chen Jiateng, the head of the Chen Family, so he and Xu Lei quickly stood up.

"Greetings, Mr. Chen," Ge Dongxu and Xu Lei greeted with a fist salute.

"It's remiss of me not to come and meet you from afar," Chen Jiateng said with a smile and a courteous hand gesture to Ge Dongxu, having been informed by the servant.

"It's already impolite of us to disturb you this way, Mr. Chen, you certainly deserve no such formality," said Ge Dongxu modestly.

Seeing that this young man, Ge Dongxu, carried a humble attitude and had an attractive and clear countenance, Chen Jiateng felt a good impression rising within him and smiled before gesturing for Ge Dongxu to sit.

"A friend of the path, Fan Hong, called me yesterday saying that Mr. Ge had matters to discuss with me on this trip; may I know what they are?" Being a significant figure among the Chinese in Indonesia, and considering Ge Dongxu's youth, Chen Jiateng did not exchange pleasantries for long and asked directly after sitting down.

"Indeed, I have a matter to discuss with Mr. Chen," Ge Dongxu admitted.

"As we are all compatriots, as long as it's not too troublesome, I am happy to help," said Chen Jiateng.

Ge Dongxu saw that although Chen Jiateng spoke generously, he still left room for refusal, rightfully cautious like an experienced individual, keeping his words watertight.

"The situation is that I heard Mr. Chen has a collection that includes the Jiuyang Chi Yan Fruit and the Ganlin Xuanyang Grass; I have a…" Ge Dongxu thought to himself and spoke straightforwardly without beating around the bush.

"Sorry! I can't help with this matter," Chen Jiateng immediately darkened his expression and interrupted rudely.

At his level of status, saying something once was more than enough; he had no need to repeat himself.

But he hadn't anticipated that despite already having refused Fan Hong clearly, Fan Hong still sent someone to request Jiuyang Chi Yan Fruit and Ganlin Xuanyang Grass.

Fan Hong's actions seemed somewhat highhanded, which irritated Chen Jiateng considerably. Though he was Chinese and still held feelings for his homeland, he was no longer under the jurisdiction of Huaxia Country. Fan Hong, the director of the Special Ability Management Bureau, neither had reign over him nor could pressure him.

"Mr. Chen, I know… " Ge Dongxu noticed Chen Jiateng's firm refusal and couldn't help feeling anxious.

The recovery of his senior brother's legs depended on the Jiuyang Chi Yan Fruit and Ganlin Xuanyang Grass, and he was not someone to easily give up.

"Zhengbin, see the guests out!" But by then, Chen Jiateng had already become irate and decisively stood up.

Seeing Chen Jiateng actually saying the words to see the guests out, Ge Dongxu's face involuntarily shifted, and he bitterly smiled to himself.

He cared about his senior brother's legs, but taking things by force was something he couldn't do.

"Mr. Ge, Mr. Xu, please leave," said Chen Zhengbin, who also became upset seeing his father angered, and sternly spoke to Ge Dongxu and Xu Lei, who were clearly hesitating to depart.

"I can exchange these two types of medicinal materials with Mr. Chen for Spirit Gathering Formation Talismans Jade," Ge Dongxu said, forced to bring it up as the other party seemed intent on sending him away.

With Ge Dongxu's current strength, inscribing Spirit Gathering Formation Talismans Jade had become an effortless task, especially the Taiyin Spirit Gathering Formation, which he could inscribe in batches of a hundred a day without any issue.

Although to Ge Dongxu these Formation Talismans Jades were trivial, they were highly sought after and priceless to other cultivators.

As the saying goes, an innocent man bears the blame for possessing treasure. If it were not for his senior brother, Ge Dongxu would not have easily suggested exchanging the Spirit Gathering Formation Talismans Jade for the medicinal materials.

Of course, with Ge Dongxu's current level of cultivation, even if he revealed this, anyone who dared to covet it was simply seeking death. It was preferable to avoid trouble if the Spirit Gathering Formation Talismans Jade didn't need to be mentioned.

"Spirit Gathering Formation Talismans Jade!" Sure enough, as soon as Ge Dongxu mentioned the Talismans Jade, Chen Jiateng's expression drastically changed, and his gaze turned exceptionally sharp when looking at Ge Dongxu, while Chen Zhengbin and Xu Lei both began to breathe heavily, their eyes filled with intense desire.

The two of them had the cultivation levels of the Second Level of Qi Cultivation and Qi Cultivation Third Layer, respectively. If nothing unexpected happened, they would likely only advance to the next level by the time they reached Chen Jiateng's age. And reaching a breakthrough at Chen Jiateng's age essentially meant that this was probably their last significant advancement in this lifetime.

However, with the help of Spirit Gathering Formation Talismans Jade, they could potentially achieve an early breakthrough, possibly allowing them to ascend yet another level in their lifetimes.

"Father!" Chen Zhengbin looked at Chen Jiateng and said softly.

"I was the one who offended you earlier," Chen Jiateng glanced at his son, his eyes flickering with hesitation before he clasped his hands toward Ge Dongxu.

No matter how young Ge Dongxu was, the fact that he could offer Spirit Gathering Formation Talismans Jade meant that Chen Jiateng could no longer regard him as just a young man.

And his willingness to exchange it showed his sincerity.

"Mr. Chen is too kind. It was I who came uninvited and offended you," Ge Dongxu said, seeing a chance and showing a slight smile.

"Mr. Ge, name your price. Besides the Jiuyang Chi Yan Fruit and Ganlin Xuanyang Grass, no matter what price you ask, even if it's over a hundred million RMB, I will gather it immediately," Chen Jiateng said.

At these words, Xu Lei's lips curled into a sneer, well aware of Ge Dongxu's assets as the major stakeholder in several companies, and with the rapid growth of businesses like Qinghe Herbal Tea, what was a hundred million? Come next year, this young man in front of him could easily make that in a month.

"I am not interested in money; I only want the Jiuyang Chi Yan Fruit and Ganlin Xuanyang Grass," Ge Dongxu said.

"This puts me in a difficult position, Mr. Ge. Everything else is negotiable, but it's hard for me to part with the Jiuyang Chi Yan Fruit and Ganlin Xuanyang Grass," Chen Jiateng said with a wry smile.

The Jiuyang Chi Yan Fruit and Ganlin Xuanyang Grass were linked to his life; how could he easily part with them?

"Could Mr. Chen explain why," Ge Dongxu asked, frowning.

"This..." Chen Jiateng's expression showed difficulty.

His two sons, lacking talent in cultivation, had only reached the Second Level of Qi Cultivation so far. Chen Family had developed extensively in Indonesia for many years, amassing significant fortunes and naturally accumulating enemies.

Since Chen Jiateng was there, no one dared to seek revenge casually, and his presence also secured the Chen Family's significant position within the Chinese community on Sumatra Island.

But if news of his affliction with Yin Demonic possession were to spread, his adversaries would likely hunt him down soon.

Just as Chen Jiateng appeared troubled, a servant hurried up, saying, "Old Master, Second Master, Alon from the Brahmo Family and Matsukawa Nozomu from Japan's Shinrei Group have come to visit."
