Chapter Forty-Two Seeking Medical Treatment
In Dongfang Jiye's view, no matter how much money they make, the Dongfang family is still just a secular family.
By chance, he came into contact with real cultivators and witnessed the power beyond the secular world. Only then did he realize that secular families were nothing but ants in the face of those people.
"I don't want to be an ant, and I don't want the descendants of the Dongfang family to continue to be ants!" Dongfang Jiye took a deep breath, spoke his mind, and felt much lighter.
"I like this saying: If you don't want to be an ant, you have to work hard to climb up!" Zhuo Yang smiled deeply, then stared into Dongfang Jiye's eyes.
"I saw through your thoughts, so today I'm going to show you that if you want to possess power beyond the mundane world, you have to face more and greater dangers. If you make the slightest mistake, not only will you die, but your entire Dongfang family will be utterly destroyed!"
The path of cultivation is fraught with difficulties and dangers. Having more allies means having more options. Even now, Zhuo Yang is still testing Dongfang Jiye.
I was about 50% satisfied before, now it's up to him to respond.
At this moment, Dongfang Jiye frowned, looking deep in thought. Zhuo Yang hadn't lied to him, because he had seen scenes even more frightening than what Zhuo Yang had described.
“Mr. Zhuo, if I insist on going down this path, how will you face me, how will you face the entire Dongfang family?” Dongfang Jiye raised his head and looked intently at Zhuo Yang.
"To you, I'm a cooperative ally; to the Dongfang family," Zhuo Yang stood with his hands behind his back, as if forever standing atop a towering peak, "that's your business, none of my concern!"
Dongfang Jiye's heart sank. His dream was to lead the Dongfang family to become a super family that could be passed down for thousands of years, but judging from Zhuo Yang's intentions, he did not want to have too much involvement with the Dongfang family.
After thinking for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly asked, "Mr. Zhuo, is Ke'er still considered your apprentice?"
"Ke'er is the disciple I have chosen!" Zhuo Yang replied coldly.
Now Dongfang Jiye understood. He laughed heartily and put his arm around Zhuo Yang's shoulder: "Zhuo Yang, I'm relieved now. Tell me your plans. I am the patriarch of the Dongfang family, and I can represent the Dongfang family!"
The way he addressed her had changed, which showed that he had understood Zhuo Yang's meaning.
Zhuo Yang helplessly pushed him away and said in a deep voice, "The Dongfang family is the Dongfang family, and I am me. You need to understand that we are just business partners. Congratulations, Mr. Dongfang, you have become my first ally!"
Before he could finish speaking, Dongfang Jiye grabbed his right hand and shook it violently.
Zhuo Yang withdrew his hand, his expression turning serious again: "There's something else I need to tell you. The Wang family of the capital is my enemy, and a battle is inevitable sooner or later. Are you sure you want to continue our alliance?"
"The Wang family of the capital?" Dongfang Jiye pondered for a moment, then his face suddenly turned pale. "You mean the Wang family of the capital, the powerful Wang family that has connections with the cultivation world?"
"Correct!"
Zhuo Yang looked at him, making one last attempt to test whether Dongfang Jiye had the heart to fight against a powerful enemy. If not, then so be it; they could just maintain the cooperative relationship and make money.
"Hiss..." Dongfang Jiye gasped. He never expected that Zhuo Yang would have such a big enemy.
The Wang family in Beijing is no ordinary family; the Wang Group alone has assets worth hundreds of billions of yuan and invests tens of billions of yuan annually.
That was a behemoth!
“Mr. Zhuo, I have a question for you.” Dongfang Jiye smiled wryly. “If I don’t get a clear answer, I’m afraid I won’t be able to sleep when I get back, even if we cooperate.”
Zhuo Yang nodded, and Dongfang Jiye then asked, "Mr. Zhuo, what are your plans to do with the Wang family?"
"Are you asking about the result or the process?" Zhuo Yang stared into his eyes.
Dongfang Jiye was so intimidated by Zhuo Yang's sharp gaze that he dared not meet his eyes. He forced himself to say, "I want to know, what will become of the Wang family in the end?"
"The best outcome is for the monkeys to scatter when the tree falls; otherwise, annihilate them all!" Zhuo Yang replied, his hands behind his back and looking up at the sky.
In an instant, it was as if a polar cold wave had swept in, and everything in the world was about to be frozen.
"What a spirit!" Dongfang Jiye was impressed.
Although he didn't believe Zhuo Yang could actually do it, at least Zhuo Yang had the courage to stand against the behemoth that was Wang family, and that courage was worthy of his respect.
Moreover, if the Dongfang family wants to rise to power, powerful families like the Wang family are obstacles that need to be overcome one by one.
"Zhuo Yang, I believe you can do it!" Dongfang Jiye extended his hand to shake hands with Zhuo Yang again.
Zhuo Yang immediately burst into laughter.
The final probing ended, and the two hands clasped together, forming a true alliance.
……
The villa needed renovation and decoration, and building the wall would also take time, so Zhuo Yang simply moved into the Dongfang family home. He spent most of his time refining pills and the rest of his time guiding Dongfang Ke'er in her cultivation.
After taking the Cold Spring Pill, the old steward no longer harbored any resentment towards Zhuo Yang and treated him with the same respect he would show to his own young master.
Three days passed quickly. After breakfast that day, Zhuo Yang was cultivating his vital energy in his guest room. Just as he was about to go refine pills, the old steward came looking for him. Huang Jiaxin, who seemed to be the steward's apprentice, followed closely behind.
"Mr. Zhuo, the master requests your presence." The old butler became even more respectful, and Huang Jiaxin followed suit.
Zhuo Yang thought to himself, "We just had breakfast together, why can't we say what we're saying during breakfast?"
Upon entering the study, the door was wide open, and Dongfang Jiye sat behind his desk with a worried expression. The old butler knocked on the door twice, but did not wake him.
"Master, Mr. Zhuo has arrived!" the old butler had no choice but to remind him.
Dongfang Jiye snapped out of his daze and quickly got up to invite Zhuo Yang to sit on the sofa for guests.
"Mr. Zhuo, it's like this, I just received some bad news." Dongfang Jiye gave a bitter laugh, "My old sergeant from when I was in the army has suddenly fallen critically ill. I was really worried, so I called his family and told them that I had a way to save him."
"You want me to go and rescue people?" Zhuo Yang's expression was somewhat cold.
Dongfang Jiye's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly explained, "Zhuoyang, didn't you tell me yesterday that our next step is to enter the pharmaceutical market? It just so happens that my old sergeant started a pharmaceutical factory after retiring from the army. Over the past twenty years, his connections and resources in this industry are something I can't compare to."
"I'll just introduce him to you. You can do me a favor and cure his illness while you're at it!"
The last sentence is the key point.
Zhuo Yang looked at him indifferently, and after a long while, he said, "This is a one-time thing, and there will be no next time."
Cooperation always involves rules. Zhuo Yang and Dongfang Jiye have already discussed it and agreed that the next step will be to sell low-grade pills. Zhuo Yang will be responsible for refining the pills, while Dongfang Jiye will be responsible for sales. Zhuo Yang will take 70% of the profits.
Zhuo Yang still needs to search for fragments of the primordial spirit, and he has been focusing on refining pills these past two days.
Dongfang Jiye was overjoyed and immediately ordered a car to be prepared, taking Zhuo Yang directly to the Lingzhou First Hospital where his old squad leader was receiving treatment.
