Qin Xiu smiled and said, "This card contains the dicine Sect’s entire revenue for this year. Now that you are the Sect Master of the dicine Sect, this money is for you to use."
Chen Fan quickly replied, "No need, no need. I’m not short of money. Besides, if I take this money, how will the dicine Sect continue to operate?"
Qin Xiu smiled and said, "It’s just one year’s revenue. The bulk of the dicine Sect’s assets are still intact, so maintaining operations is naturally not an issue. Although the dicine Sect is located on an island, we are not isolated from the world. We have cooperations with many pharmaceutical companies inland. Of course, they are usually the ones eagerly seeking to work with us. Moreover, the quality of the dicine produced by the dicine Sect is first-class; everyone vies for it, so the profits are very high. We make quite a bit of money every year."
Chen Fan raised an eyebrow and asked, "So how much money is in this card?"
Qin Xiu thought for a mont and said, "About more than a thousand billion."
The expression on Chen Fan’s face instantly froze, and then he looked at the bank card in his hand with disbelief, exclaiming, "More than a thousand billion? That much!"
He had originally thought that the dicine Sect, as a Martial Arts sect, would only be dabbling in business and wouldn’t make much money. He never expected that their annual revenue would be more than a thousand billion— it was shockingly high!
To know that Qingfan Pharmaceuticals, even after acquiring Lu Pharmaceuticals and becoming the leader in Jiangbei Province’s pharmaceutical industry, was only valued at a few hundred billion.
Qingfan Pharmaceuticals couldn’t even compare to half of the dicine Sect’s annual revenue!
The Tang Family’s enterprises were much larger than Qingfan Pharmaceuticals and spanned various industries, but even their annual revenue was probably not as much as the dicine Sect’s.
Seeing Chen Fan’s shocked expression, Qin Xiu revealed a smug look.
"Indeed... businesses related to illness and dication are the most profitable," Chen Fan muttered to himself.
Qin Xiu continued, "The dicine Sect’s business spans across every province inland, and we have designated representatives in each province. I will give you a list of their nas and contact information later. If you need anything, you can arrange for them to work for you. Our partners are generally the big companies in various regions, so these representatives have so social status locally. They will give you face, so long as they aren’t our sworn enemies."
Chen Fan nodded. Having the dicine Sect’s connections would make things more convenient for the developnt of Qingfan Pharmaceuticals.
He didn’t continue to refuse, instead taking the bank card and putting it away.
He then went over to the table, glanced at the six strands of Thousand-Year Elixir, and said, "I’ll take three of these Spiritual dicines. The rest can stay here."
Qin Xiu nodded.
At this mont, Yang Tianzhen ca over sowhat embarrassedly and said, "Grand Sect Master Chen, could you give one strand of Thousand-Year Elixir?"
Chen Fan turned to look at Yang Tianzhen and asked with puzzlent, "What do you want it for?"
Yang Tianzhen said nervously, "Well... my grandfather hasn’t been in good health recently, and he was poisoned the other day. It was only with great difficulty that he recovered. I’m worried that he doesn’t have many years left, so I wanted a strand of Spiritual dicine to help him regain his strength."
Yang Wanli’s eyes bulged in disbelief, thinking to himself that he was hale and hearty. ’How could you curse like this?’ He opened his mouth sowhat angrily, "Tianzhen, you..."
Yang Tianzhen imdiately turned her head and snapped, "Don’t talk!"
Chen Fan smiled, didn’t ask any further, and said, "Since that’s the case, you can have one."
After the matter of the new Sect Master was settled, Qin Xiu handed over so responsibilities to Chen Fan and made an announcent to the entire sect.
Not a single person in the sect raised an objection.
With everything taken care of, Chen Fan said that all his business here was concluded and it was ti for him to leave.
Embracing the idea that he was beholden for the assistance he had received, he left Qin Xiu with a substantial amount of the Cultivation World’s alchemical thods, as well as so elixir recipes that the people of the dicine Sect were capable of refining at their current stage.
For Chen Fan, these were nothing more than the most common objects. But for Qin Xiu and the others in the dicine Sect, they were like priceless treasures, trembling with excitent.
Having arranged everything, Chen Fan, along with Yang Wanli and Yang Tianzhen, bade farewell to the mbers of the dicine Sect and returned to Binhai together.
...
Binhai Airport.
Chen Fan ca to the ticket counter alone.
After returning to Binhai, Yang Wanli said that the ancestral Jade Pendant had been retrieved after so many years, which ant he hadn’t let down his forebears, so he wanted to take Yang Tianzhen back to their hotown to pay respect to their ancestors.
The Yang family’s ancestral ho wasn’t in Jiangbei but in a relatively remote mountain area accessible only by train. Therefore, Yang Wanli and Yang Tianzhen went to the railway station, while Chen Fan headed to the airport.
"Hello, I need a ticket to Jiangbei Airport," Chen Fan said.
The ticket seller sized Chen Fan up and said, "I’m very sorry, sir. The flights to Jiangbei are all sold out, except for one first-class ticket that’s over sixty thousand. Would you like it?"
Chen Fan smiled and replied, "Then first-class it is."
Now that he owned a fortune worth hundreds of billions, the cost of a first-class ticket was naturally not a concern for him.
Seeing Chen Fan agree so readily, the ticket seller revealed a hint of surprise, thinking he probably had an ergency at ho and needed to return urgently. She felt a bit sorry for the man, considering the ticket probably cost him an entire year’s salary.
"Will that be cash or card?" the seller asked.
Chen Fan handed over the bank card given to him by Qin Xiu.
As the ticket seller took the card, she inwardly hoped it wouldn’t embarrass both of them by showing insufficient funds once swiped.
However, she was stunned when she saw the design of the bank card.
"This is... the Huaxia Divine Dragon Card!"
The ticket seller’s eyes gradually widened as shock spread across her face.
When she first started working here, the manager had explained to her that the holdes of the Huaxia Divine Dragon Card were the most prestigious guests at the airport, entitled to the highest level of service.
There was just one reason for that: anyone who could apply for and secure a Huaxia Divine Dragon Card had to possess assets of at least a hundred billion!
She never expected this ordinary-looking man wearing clothes that were at best two hundred yuan to be the holder of a Huaxia Divine Dragon Card!
Indeed, the truly wealthy are the ones who keep a low profile.
Seeing the ticket seller frozen, Chen Fan asked, "Is there a problem?"
The ticket seller stood up promptly, bowing deeply to Chen Fan, "No problem at all, esteed guest. As the holder of a Huaxia Divine Dragon Card, you enjoy the highest privileges at our airport. I will notify the crew imdiately to prepare the diamond first-class seat for you."
Chen Fan was perplexed, "What’s a diamond first-class seat?"
The ticket seller patiently explained, "The diamond first-class seat is the best and most comfortable seat in first-class. Although it’s already been reserved, you don’t need to worry. We’ll negotiate with that passenger to secure the seat for you."
Chen Fan said, "There’s no need for that, really. I’m fine sitting anywhere, and besides, doing this would offend soone, wouldn’t it?"
Yet the ticket seller flashed a respectful smile and said, "Your comfort is our utmost priority in providing service. Even if it offends another custor, we must ensure your satisfaction first. Besides, if the other custor knew you were a Huaxia Divine Dragon Cardholder, they would be more than happy to give up their seat to you."
