Medical Master

“How could the amount be considered a small sum of money?”

The disdainful tone Fang Qiu used when he talked about the huge profit made Gaoming and all his brothers feel dispirited.

“The oldest, you can get 12.8 billion Huaxia coins from the 32 billion net profit!”

“So, 12.8 billion Huaxia coins is only a small sum of money in your eyes?”

“The oldest, it sounds like you’re super rich.”

“The oldest seems determined to refuse the money.”

His decision gave rise to a heated discussion among his men.

“Hee-hee.”

He Gaoming smirked and stepped forward, boldly patting Fang Qiu on the shoulder, and joked, “Master, if you need money in the future, let us know. We billionaires will help you.”

Fang Qiu was struck dumb.

The brothers exploded with laughter.

“Let’s not celebrate too quickly.”

When everyone was almost done cheering, Fang Qiu said, “It’s not easy to make eight million jars of wine. I estimate that it will take us one year to finish producing the required medical liquor. Moreover, because all kinds of forces have placed massive orders for many jars of liquor, they might not place any more large orders in the next few years. At the very least, we’ll have to wait until all the forces drink up their wine before moving on to the next batch of orders.”

“Right.”

He Gaoming nodded and added, “It seems so. But the profit of eight million jars of wine will be enough for us to live several lives. Money is no longer a problem for us, so no matter how late the second batch of orders takes, it won’t affect us.”

“Then, renting a wine factory is the first thing you should do.”

While thinking, Fang Qiu said, “There will be a great quantity of wine to be mixed with the herbs. Hire some professionals in the wine factory to deal with the wine-making process of steeping the tonic herbs in the base wine. Remember to keep the prescription a secret and always stay vigilant to prevent anyone who has bad intentions from stealing the recipe for the liquor.”

He Gaoming and others nodded vehemently.

A professional wine-making team could do a better job.

The party ended. John Doe’s Heaven Dew would attract the attention of more Wulin people and become the most desired liquor that people would pay practically any price asked for one jar.

It was inevitable that some people harboring evil designs would cast their greedy eyes on Heaven Dew, a top-class and rare liquor.

Therefore, when it came to making the wine, they couldn’t be more careful.

“Well,” Fang Qiu continued, “You should focus on cultivation. Guarding the wine factory can be a way of practicing. Don’t slack off in the days to come.”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

He Gaoming and all his brothers felt like they were in a dream when they looked into their future together.

A week ago, they were still worried about having enough money for food and accommodation, which was depressing. After spending so much time cultivating outside, they barely sent any money back home to support their families.

At that time, sinking into the depths of hopelessness, some lost their confidence and were on the verge of giving up pursuing their cultivation.

Merely after a few days, none of them had to worry about money anymore, and they didn’t even need to work hard. As long as they completed the initial preparations, they could sit and wait for the vast profit: hundreds of millions of Huaxia coins.

The windfall from heaven made their bright future seem so wonderful that it seemed like a dream.

And the person who brought the windfall to them was the oldest, John Doe!

Their hearts swelled with gratitude to John Doe.

It was John Doe who gave them a chance to pursue their dreams with one heart and one mind, and they could leave all their worries behind!

No one took this opportunity for granted.

Everyone was very grateful to him!

“Master.”

As soon as Fang Qiu’s voice faded, He Gaoming thought of something and said, “Although we have more than 30 brothers, compared with the other Wulin forces, we are few in number. Now that we have loads of money, shouldn’t we recruit some more followers?”

“That’s right. Let’s establish a force as well!”

“With John Doe’s status and our current financial resources, we can set up a middle or even top force!”

“Only when we set up our own organization can we be regarded as people with status.”

Everyone cheered, all talking excitedly about their future at once.

“No rush.”

In the face of these excited brothers who wallowed in such high hopes, Fang Qiu shook his head and said, “We need genuine faith instead of money to recruit men!”

Everyone heard it clearly.

They immediately sobered down.

Traitors were common in Wulin. Though they were rich, they couldn’t take in new members that easily. If they accidentally accepted a few traitors, it would be troublesome.

It made them a more cohesive team when all brothers were true toward each other. Their team was perfect as of now.

“That’s it.”

After the discussion, Fang Qiu and said, “Take out the remaining 30 jars of the liquor. Let’s throw off our cares for now and toast ourselves!”

“Brothers, go get the liquor with me.”

He Gaoming laughed heartily and left to get the liquor with his brothers.

Together with Fang Qiu, the rest of them arranged the long tables in the hall to make a very long table. In this way, all of them could happily share one table.

The wine was carried over.

They put the jars in a long row. The brothers sat on both sides of the long table, each holding a wine bowl. They filled bowls for each other and then stood up in unison.

“Let’s drink a toast to the oldest!”

Everyone shouted together. Then with a toss of their heads and a few hard gulps, they drained the last dregs of liquor in their bowls.

“Great.”

Fang Qiu tilted back his head and polished off the liquor in the bowl.

Then, all of them drank to their hearts’ content.

…

There was a restaurant located in the midst of a quiet bamboo garden.

After the wine party, the four patriarchs left Mount Hua and came to this place. Since they booked the entire restaurant, the other customers were asked to leave.

They took their seats in a secluded and elegant pavilion, drinking tea and chatting.

“John Doe has plenty of brains as well as brawn.”

Just as Patriarch Qian sat down, he poured himself a cup of tea and exclaimed, “I thought that he held this wine tasting for a matter of paramount importance, but I didn’t expect that this guy was there to sell his wine.”

“That’s right, it came as a complete surprise to all of us!”

Elder Zhan chuckled and said, “However, this Heaven Dew brewed by this young man is indeed rare and fine. I wonder if he used a Heaven and Earth Treasure to make the liquor.”

“Top-notch liquor indeed, but John Doe will get a staggering amount of money after selling so much wine, which will undoubtedly promote the development of his group.”

Without batting an eyelid, Xi Fengling said, “John Doe has been alone since the day he appeared in Wulin, but the presence of his disciples didn’t arouse much vigilance among us. There were more than 30 men bustling about at the party, all of whom must have been brought by his disciple. In my opinion, both John Doe and his disciple are up-and-coming talents.”

“They only have about 30 people, but they have pots of money, John Doe’s group of 30 people won’t remain at the same level for long. Nowadays, money can buy a great force with a considerable number of members. Aren’t you worried about it?”

Patriarch Qian and Elder Zhan both frowned at his words.

“Say, how could you turn a blind eye to the Sword Sect?”

Unlike them, Diwu Mingchuan laughed and said, “You all know very well how the Sword Sect has great power. The Sword Sect is willing to show its respect for John Doe, which means that it has confidence in him. Also, it proves that John Doe will not be a problem.”

The other three patriarchs laughed meaningfully.

Each of them laughed for a different reason.

After all, they were not only the formidable leaders of the four major families, but also four wily old foxes!

…

The next day, He Gaoming received everyone’s deposits, one after another.

Fang Qiu insisted that he wouldn’t take even a penny. Thus, after everyone placed their orders, Fang Qiu left He Gaoming’s new bank account for them.

All the deposits went to this bank account.

The total was half the value of all the wine.

There were 20 billion Huaxia coins!

Upon receiving such a large sum of money, He Gaoming and his brothers felt exalted and rejuvenated. They even made an appointment to check the balance on the bank account online together. When they saw the long string of zeros, they felt dazzled yet extremely happy.

He Gaoming didn’t let his brothers dwell too long in their joy.

Instead, he immediately started thinking of a crazy money-making plan.

The first step was to sign the contract with He Xue in Beijiang.

They would get large batches of herbs from the Renyi Group. Though the deal wasn’t very profitable for the group, they still had to go about doing business formally.

…

Meanwhile, a lot of news appeared on the Wulin online forum.

“Amazing! John Doe held the wine party to make money?”

“Heaven Dew, a super tonic prepared by John Doe for Wulin people!”

“After drinking one cup of Heaven Dew, an old senior successfully broke through his cultivation, one that he had been stuck at for several years, in the wine tasting party and his strength has reached the ninth-class with two opened meridians!”

“There are four clans, eight factions, and sixteen sects. To please John Doe, even the deputy chief of the Pear Garden personally made an appearance at the party!”

“At the banquet, John Doe gave a thrilling performance!”

There were many Wulin people who were there without invitations and they were watching from the sidelines throughout the party. As soon as the party ended, many shared their unforgettable experiences on the Wulin online forum.

To attract a wider circle of the audience, everyone uploaded their most vivid recollection of the party.

Without a doubt, each post attracted a lot of attention and invited a lot of ongoing discussions.

“The purpose of this party is to sell wine?”

“John Doe is really audacious. How dare he name the liquor Heaven Dew?”

“The wine is awesome. I drooled excessively after smelling its aroma at the party. All the top experts of the major forces paid John Doe extravagant compliments because of this Heaven Dew.”

“No way. Was he that amazing?”

“The person who caused such a sensation at the party was the senior who made a breakthrough because he imbibed this Heaven Dew.”

“His breakthrough had little or nothing to do with the wine, right?”

“How could it be? The senior even stood up and sincerely thanked John Doe. Apart from that, all the experts who participated in the wine tasting attached great importance to Heaven Dew!”

“Wow, is this liquor so impressive?”

“How much is it?”

“John Doe, one of the mysterious Wulin figures, is worthy of his reputation. How could John Doe also be an outstanding winemaker?”

“Where can we buy this liquor? How much is it?”

When more and more topics under discussion emerged, the public concentrated on the liquor, and they were all asking about the price and the place to buy Heaven Dew.

But to their dismay, after asking around, they found there was no place to buy the wine at all. The others could only wait for a chance to buy it after all the forces received the wine they had ordered.

The wine was in short supply, which left many others in suspense. The more curious they felt, the stronger their desire to buy it!
