Ling Yun knew that his grandpa would definitely agree. He smiled as he chatted leisurely.

“First, I need to obtain a large amount of Chinese medical supplies. It’s best if they’re unprocessed and extremely precious. I want to obtain the rarest materials…”

Whether it was creating talismans or cultivating pills, Ling Yun required a large amount of medical supplies. All of those required prior preparation. In the long term, he had to continue acquiring those materials. Otherwise, he might be left with nothing when he actually needed those materials.

“No problem!” Ling Lie knew that Ling Yun’s medical skills were shocking. He smiled without hesitation and nodded immediately.

Ling Yun laughed. “Grandpa, you can acquire the common medicine you see on the market from Cui Lao via Beijing’s Xue Family. The Xue Family has its own pharmaceutical company in Beijing and the large provinces around Beijing. They’re very professional in this industry, and they’re very fast and efficient…”

Ling Yun explained everything clearly. Since Miracle Doctor Xue treated him so well, he naturally had to repay his kindness.

“As long as it’s something the Xue Family has, you can acquire it from them. Once you’ve acquired what you need, we just have to find a warehouse to store it. When the time comes, I’ll find a way to use it…”

Ling Lie smiled. “That isn’t a problem. How much are you willing to acquire?”

Ling Yun replied seriously, “I’ve prepared 200 million in funding. We’ll use it to acquire medical supplies!”

Once he said this, the entire room reeled in shock. Ling Yun was far too generous. Two hundred million worth of medical supplies was enough for ten thousand people to eat at once. It was also enough to store for several years.

Ling Zhen saw that Ling Yun was asking for money. His expression showed his displeasure, and he suddenly interrupted. “Fourth Young Master, our Ling Family doesn’t have anyone who understands medicine. What are you going to do with all those materials? Isn’t that a bit much…”

Ling Yun turned his head as he said somewhat mockingly, “Eldest Uncle, in the past, nobody in our Ling Family knew medicine. But now we have someone who knows, that’s me. I am the one and only remaining descendant from the Immortal Physician Sect!”

This was the first time Ling Yun revealed his identity after coming to Beijing. The Immortal Physician Sect’s one and only disciple, this was a very shocking title to come by.

“The Immortal Physician Sect? Why haven’t I heard of this before…”

“That’s right, I’ve only heard of Miracle Doctor Valley. Is this yet another secluded sect?”

“No wonder Fourth Brother is so strong. With just the name Immortal Physician Sect, it definitely isn’t any weaker than Miracle Doctor Valley…”

Ling Yong, Ling Feng, and Ling Li were still young. They didn’t hold their words back at all as they stared at Ling Yun and spoke.

Ling Zhen was equally shocked. So Ling Yun had originally come from the Immortal Physician Sect. However, no matter how hard he thought, he couldn’t figure out how Ling Yun managed to find such a secluded sect in China. So, he asked in a half-shocked state, “Immortal Physician Sect? I hope you won’t misunderstand my words, but may I ask where the headquarters is?”

Ling Zhen naturally wanted to find out Ling Yun’s backing. After all, he was far too secretive. He was so strong that it was simply unbelievable. This left Ling Zhen feeling very insecure.

Furthermore, he felt like his seat was being threatened.

Ling Yun laughed as he uttered, “Eldest Uncle, didn’t I tell you this before? I am the Immortal Physician Sect’s only disciple. My master has already passed his robes to me. Of course, wherever I am is where the Immortal Physician Sect is…”

His explanation was as if he hadn’t said anything at all. With a few casual words, he dismissed Ling Zhen’s words.

Ling Zhen looked even more displeased. He had his pride as the head of the family. “Even if that’s the case, why are you storing all of those medical supplies at home and spending all of that money?”

Ling Yun smiled. “I have my uses for them. You don’t have to think too much into it. As for it being a waste of money… obviously, I won’t be using our Ling Family’s money. I have my own funding…”

With that, Ling Yun pulled out a checkbook as if he were a magician. He scribbled on his checkbook, pulled out a 500 million yuan check, and handed it to Ling Lie respectfully. He said proudly, “Grandpa, there’s a total of 500 million here. Use 200 million to acquire medical supplies. As for the remaining 300 million, I have other uses for it.”

Other than Ling Lie and Cui Lao, everyone was thoroughly shocked. None of them had expected Ling Yun to be so wealthy. Once he issued a check, he gave out a sum of 500 million at once. However, he did it casually and effortlessly, as if it were nothing more than a game.

Ling Yun’s lips curled into a smile. As for Ling Zhen, he felt like he had just taken a loud, aggressive slap to his face.

Ling Zhen’s face turned a little red, and for a long time, he couldn’t say anything.

Ling Lie frowned gently. When Ling Yun didn’t kowtow to Ling Zhen, he could tell that Ling Yun and Ling Zhen were on two completely different pages. No matter what, Ling Zhen was still the head of the Ling Family. Ling Lie had already quietly decided that Ling Yun would be the next successor of the Ling Family, so if the two of them continued to have internal strife, it would definitely become a problem.

However, this wasn’t the time to discuss it. Ling Lie didn’t take the check from Ling Yun. With all his love, Ling Lie looked at Ling Yun and said, “My good grandson, Grandpa knows that you have money. However, this is the first night you’ve come back here. Not only did you save the entire family, you even brought a great ray of hope for our Ling Family. Now, our Ling Family only has so much to offer. In fact, we don’t even have anything worthy of presenting to you as a gift. If we need you to pay out of your own pocket just to acquire some medical supplies, won’t we become a huge laughingstock when word gets out?”

“Take your check back. No matter what it is, Grandpa will make sure to get it done for you!” Ling Lie’s words left no room for negotiation.

Ling Yue added on, “Fourth Young Master, if you don’t mind Second Uncle saying this, you should listen to your grandpa. We definitely can’t ask you to pay for those medical supplies!”

Even though Ling Yue didn’t say a word about Ling Yun returning to acknowledge the family, he had already made a decision in his heart. No matter what, he would stand on Ling Yun’s side. Even if he offended his older brother, he would stick to it.

Ling Yun turned around and stuffed the check into Ling Lie’s hands. He smiled and said, “Grandpa, just keep this money well. I still have other matters to handle!”

Ling Lie couldn’t say anything. He could only take the check as he asked with a bitter smile, “Child, Grandpa really has no words for that. Tell me, what else do you need?”

Ling Yun continued, “The second thing. Even though I have six pharmaceutical companies in Jiangnan Province, they’re far away. Furthermore, in the future, we will still have to acquire more medical supplies. So, I want to acquire a pharmaceutical company as soon as I can. Or maybe we’re better off creating one. If we acquire medical supplies like this, it’d be much easier and much more convenient. On top of that, it would be completely legitimate. Grandpa, what do you think?”

This time, Ling Lie listened to his words until the very end and then slapped the table directly. “Alright, that’s not a problem. Your second uncle knows a few figureheads from the medical industry. If you want to create a company, we’ll do that. If you want to acquire something, we’ll do it. We’ll leave this matter to your second uncle. Are you okay with that?”

Ling Yue laughed. “Father, I understand what Ling Yun means. I think it’s better if we acquire a company directly. We’ll take over all their assets. Even though we’ll spend more money, we can use whatever they have as long as we can acquire the company…”

Ling Yun laughed. “Thank you, Second Uncle. I had the same thought in mind.”

Ling Yue smiled and nodded. He asked, “Do you have any other criteria for this pharmaceutical company?”

Ling Yun laughed. “I actually do. However, there are only two things. The factory workshop has to be huge, and the warehouse needs to be humongous too!”

Ling Yue smiled and said that there was no problem. He said that he would ensure everything was completed within one week’s time.

Ling Yun had lots of money on hand. Even though the Ling Family didn’t have much to offer, they were still one of the large families in Beijing. No matter what, they had some relations. With money and connections, acquiring a company was nothing more than a game.

The discussion for this matter came to a close. Ling Yun immediately brought up the third matter.

“Grandpa, I still need to acquire a large smelting company in Beijing, as well as a coal enterprise. What do you think?”

In Qingshui City, Ling Yun hadn’t had the opportunity to acquire a smelting company before he left. Now, he naturally had to accomplish what he needed to and plan for the future when he could create weapons.

However, with those words, everyone in the Ling Family, including the younger generation of four, turned sullen. For a while, none of them said a word.

Why? That was because 18 years ago, the Ling Family had specialized in smelting and coal. However, because of what happened back then, they were all taken away. Now that he brought this matter up, who wouldn’t feel the same?

“Sigh…” Ling Lie let out a sigh as he said, “Grandpa promises to get that. However, the pollution in Beijing is very heavy now. The country is doing everything it can to deal with this industry. So, there aren’t any companies in this field in Beijing. Even if there are any, they’re all controlled by the government. We can only acquire these companies from important capital cities…”

In fact, there was one more thing Ling Lie didn’t say. The Ling Family had already fallen into ruin. If they suddenly acquired a pharmaceutical company, a smelting company, and a coal enterprise all at once, it would definitely alert the other families. It would create a lot of commotion, which wouldn’t be beneficial for the Ling Family.

With Ling Yun’s intelligence, he naturally understood why their faces turned dull. He also understood why Ling Lie sighed so deeply. Seeing that he had finally agreed, he smiled proudly. “Grandpa, you don’t have to feel perplexed. You don’t even have to worry about anything. I will definitely take back everything that the Ling Family has lost over the past 18 years!”

With Ling Yun’s words, he shocked everyone in the room. His words sounded like a bolt of lightning, shocking everyone in the room!

One word — powerful!

He held absolute power, pride, and charisma!

He would take back everything they lost!

Ling Lie’s humongous body trembled violently. Ling Zhen’s heart swayed. Ling Yue smiled calmly. Cui Lao’s tears stained his clothes. Ling Xiu and the others felt their blood boil!

As they thought about this and looked forward to it, they wondered… How long had they waited for this day to come?

Eighteen years!

To express it in modern terms, they had waited for so long that the flowers had already withered! They had already withered 18 times!

The Ling Family’s vibrant days were about to return!

Ling Lie was stunned for a long time before he suddenly stood up and released his Xiantian Realm Level Eight aura. His clothes rustled as if a strong wind was blowing, and he clenched his fists tightly. After staring at Ling Yun for a long time, he finally laughed heartily at the sky!

“My dearest grandchild. With you on the Ling Family’s side, Grandpa’s heart feels absolutely satisfied! Alright, we’ll do everything you want. However, where should we get these two companies from?”

Ling Yun moved quickly and arrived in front of Ling Lie’s large map of China. With a smile, he pointed randomly!

He said confidently, “Zhangjiakou City!”
