Chapter 16
[Making millions by exploiting big spenders – listening to Luo Hengzhi was definitely the right thing to do!]
Luo Hengzhi smiled helplessly. This Ye Zi really is a little money-grubber who's blinded by greed!
"Alright!" The wealthy man was generous, and Ye Zi was equally frank. "Fifty million is enough. I will definitely solve all the problems in your house."
"Wait a minute." Luo Hengzhi couldn't help but tug at Ye Zi when he heard what she said.
"What is it?" Ye Zi looked at Luo Hengzhi and asked in a low voice.
"All of it, fifty million, a huge loss." Luo Hengzhi whispered a reminder. How could a large family with all sorts of problems casually promise to solve everything?
"Tackle things one by one, don't mix things up. Saving people and waking them up is one thing, but the deathly aura in the courtyard is another matter, and there are other issues that need to be addressed separately!" Luo Hengzhi reminded him in a low voice. It wasn't that Luo Hengzhi was being kind to Ye Zi, but rather that this was Luo Hengzhi's principle. In business, he would never allow himself to lose money when dealing with anyone.
Old Master Jiang's life was saved. To be honest, giving only 50 million for the life of the head of the Jiang family is still too little. So Ye Zi deserves this 50 million based on her own strength!
[Fifty million is quite a lot, wouldn't adding more be excessive?]
Listening to Ye Zi's conflicted thoughts, Luo Hengzhi thought to himself, "Isn't she a little money-grubber? Why is she hesitating about making more money?"
[The people Master helped when he went down the mountain were mostly ordinary people from small households, and they were indeed unaware of the prices quoted by wealthy families. However, Luo Heng, born into a wealthy family, was used to dealing with wealthy people and should have a better understanding of the market, so his considerations should be comprehensive and reasonable.]
After much deliberation, Ye Zi finally decided that listening to Luo Hengzhi would be the right thing to do.
"Fifty million to cure the person. As for other problems in your household, if they also need to be resolved, that will be settled separately!" Ye Zi changed her mind.
The old woman only wanted to cure the person. She had been searching for famous doctors all these days, spending countless sums of money, but the person's condition had not improved at all.
If these two young men are truly capable, she'd be willing to give them as much as she wanted!
The old woman said, "It's only right."
Ye Zi didn't delay any longer. She waved her hand to close the room door, released her spirit sword, activated the Thousand Spirit Sword Formation, and purified the death energy in the room.
The old woman was shocked when she saw Ye Zi wave her hand to close the door. Then she saw a glowing sword appear out of thin air. The old woman lost her balance and sat down on the edge of the bed in shock.
Besides shock, the old woman's eyes also held a glimmer of hope; this time, the Jiang family was truly saved!
The old woman looked at Ye Zi again, her posture devout and her eyes filled with reverence. She was glad that she hadn't judged her by her appearance.
Overwhelmed with emotion, or perhaps tears of joy, the old woman's eyes were brimming with tears. But when she looked at the unconscious Grandpa Jiang on the bed, a smile finally appeared on her lips, which had been pursed.
After the deathly aura in the room was completely cleared by the spirit sword, the spirit sword flew above the old man's head and circled a few times, purifying the deathly aura that Grandpa Jiang had absorbed into his body. Grandpa Jiang's dark complexion slowly returned to its fair state.
The old woman observed Old Master Jiang on the bed, his complexion visibly improving step by step. Overwhelmed with excitement, she turned to Ye Zi and was about to kneel down: "He's truly a celestial being descended to earth!"
Ye Zi raised her hand and helped the old woman up: "You're paying people to solve their problems, Madam, there's no need for that!"
Ye Zi took out a Qi-Nourishing Pill and put it into the old man's mouth, and the old man's pale face finally regained color.
"Immortal... Thank you so much for saving me!" The old woman's voice choked with emotion as she wiped away the tears welling up in her eyes.
At this moment, Grandpa Jiang on the bed slowly opened his eyes, looked at the old woman next to him, and raised his hand.
"I'll go get some water." The old woman patted Grandpa Jiang, who was about to speak, to reassure him.
The old woman turned away to wipe her tears before pouring a glass of water. She then went to the bedside and helped the newly awakened Grandpa Jiang sit up, offering him a sip of tea: "Take a sip first, to soothe your nerves."
"I thought I would never see you again?" Old Master Jiang held Old Madam Jiang's hand.
"You're awake, that's good. Don't say things like that." Tears streamed down Old Woman Jiang's face.
"Grandpa." Jiang Mo was originally going to visit the Li family with Li Xue'er, but suddenly learned that his grandfather had fallen ill.
Jiang Mo immediately changed his plans and rushed back to the Jiang family home. However, when he arrived at his grandfather's door, he couldn't open it no matter what he did. Fearing that something had happened to his grandfather, Jiang Mo anxiously knocked on the door from the outside.
"It's Mo'er, Mo'er is back." Old Madam Jiang looked at Ye Zi first, knowing that her grandson couldn't open the door without Ye Zi's permission. "Immortal, my grandson is outside the door. May he come in and see his grandfather?"
Ye Zi waved her hand, and the door opened.
The moment the door opened, Ye Zi and Luo Hengzhi turned around simultaneously, their eyes probing as they looked at the person outside.
As soon as the door opened, Ye Zi and Luo Hengzhi simultaneously felt a bone-chilling cold air rushing in from outside.
[Mutated Ice Spirit Root.]
The moment Ye Zi felt the chill, she knew that the person outside the door was likely a rare, mutated ice spirit root.
When Ye Zi saw that the newcomer had snow-white skin and heterochromatic pupils, she became even more certain that this person was born with a mutated ice spirit root!
Luo Hengzhi looked at the person who came in. This was the mutated ice spirit root. His appearance was a bit abnormal, no wonder he could be called mutated. Moreover, this person had his own cold air, like a mobile refrigerator. If you took him with you when you went out in the summer, he would definitely be a cool-down artifact!
"Grandpa, are you alright? How could you suddenly faint? Why didn't Grandma send someone to tell me? I only found out that Grandpa was sick from someone else." Jiang Mo walked quickly to the bedside, wanting to hug her grandfather, but as soon as she reached out, she quickly withdrew her hand and even took a few steps back to keep her distance from her grandfather.
"It's alright, come here, Mo'er." Grandpa Jiang called Jiang Mo to his side, took his grandson's hand, and said, "Grandpa is alright."
"Grandpa, my hands are cold," Jiang Mo reminded her grandfather, worried that she might hurt him.
"Nuan Nuan, let Grandpa take a good look at his grandson." Grandpa Jiang cupped Jiang Mo's hands in his own and rubbed them to warm them. His grandson's hands were as cold as ice.
"You've been sickly since birth, and you've almost lost your life several times?" Ye Zi asked Jiang Mo.
“Yes,” both Madam Jiang and Grandpa Jiang replied at the same time.
Although Grandpa Jiang had just woken up, he could still hear what Ye Zi and the old woman had said, but he couldn't open his eyes, just like when he was sleep paralyzed by a ghost and couldn't wake up.
So Old Master Jiang knew about Ye Zi's abilities, and wondered if this great immortal could also cure his grandson.
Jiang Mo, however, didn't seem to care: "What's wrong? Who in the Jiang family doesn't know about this?"
"Mo'er, this is an immortal, speak properly," Old Master Jiang scolded Jiang Mo.
Jiang Mo had no choice but to shut up, secretly cursing in his heart that this was just another swindler trying to cheat the Jiang family out of money.
"Immortal, is there any cure for my grandson's illness?" asked Madam Jiang.
Grandpa Jiang said, "Immortal, as long as my grandson is cured, my Jiang family is willing to spend 100 million yuan every year to build a blessing lamp at your esteemed spot."
"One hundred million a year, just for lighting lamps?"
Ye Zi sighed inwardly, "The wealthy are truly wealthy; they casually spend fifty million or even a hundred million! If only they had known that feeding the rich was so lucrative, their Lingju Temple would never have been living in such a dilapidated state."
Looking at Ye Zi's usually aloof face, now showing signs of doubt about life, Luo Hengzhi smiled and wondered if taking Ye Zi out to eat at a high-class restaurant would affect Ye Zi's Dao heart.
It is said that if a cultivator's Dao heart is unstable, they may develop inner demons!
“Yes, every year.” Old Master Jiang’s eyes were firm. “The Jiang family can call a lawyer now to sign a lighting agreement with your temple.”
Since the Jiang family was so generous with their money, Ye Zi accepted it and said frankly, "I will do as Old Master Jiang says."
Ye Zi glanced at Jiang Mo, then said to Grandpa Jiang, "I have one more request: I want your grandson to become a disciple of my Lingju Temple."
"Immortal, do you mean you want to take my grandson as your disciple?" Old Madam Jiang stood up happily. "If my grandson could become your disciple, it would be a great blessing for him!"
"Grandpa and Grandma, I don't want to go anywhere. I just want to stay at home and stay by your side." Jiang Mo finally couldn't help but say, "I don't want to join any Lingju Temple either. Everyone knows I'm sick. I haven't even figured out if it's a scam. How could you promise to give away 100 million yuan every year?"
"Mo'er, don't be silly, this is an immortal." Old Madam Jiang and Old Master Jiang thought that since the immortal was willing for their grandson to become a disciple of Lingju Temple, then the immortal could definitely cure their grandson, and their poor grandson would finally no longer have to suffer from illness every day.
"May I ask, Young Master Luo, is your leg healed? Was it this person who cured it?" Jiang Mo suddenly looked at Luo Hengzhi and asked, pointing at Ye Zi.
Luo Hengzhi: "You know me?"
Jiang Mo: "Of course, I've met you when you were doing business with my grandfather."
Only then did Grandpa Jiang notice Luo Hengzhi and look at her leg: "Luo Hengzhi, is your leg healed?"
Luo Hengzhi: "Yes, Chairman Jiang, it's been a long time."
Of course, Grandpa Jiang knew about Luo Hengzhi's car accident and that she would never be able to stand up again. He even felt sorry for her.
Now Luo Hengzhi is standing perfectly fine in front of him, with no sign of any previous leg problems. What does this mean? It means she must have been healed by a celestial being.
"Jiang Mo, what are you still hesitating for? The fairy is willing to take you in, so hurry up and seize the opportunity to kneel down and become her disciple immediately," Old Master Jiang ordered directly.
As the head of the Jiang family, Old Master Jiang can issue orders that Jiang Mo cannot disobey, but that doesn't mean he will obediently follow orders.
"Yes, greetings, Master." Jiang Mo gave Ye Zi a simple bow.
Ye Zi looked at Jiang Mo, who was bowing hastily and clearly unwilling to become his disciple. Ye Zi remained aloof and showed no anger whatsoever.
The mutated ice spirit root physique is rare. Ye Zi originally intended to bring it back to Lingju Temple for her master to arrange, but she did not actually intend to take it as a disciple herself.
But at this moment, Ye Zi's thoughts changed, and she decided to accept this person.
Looking at Ye Zi's expressionless face, Jiang Mo continued to provoke her, saying, "May I ask, Master, why did you take me as your disciple? Also, you don't look as old as me, do you even look like an adult, Master?"
When Luo Hengzhi saw Jiang Mo's astonishing audacity in teasing Ye Zi, she instantly looked at Jiang Mo with new respect. At the same time, Luo Hengzhi felt a chill for Jiang Mo, as this guy's tough days were probably about to begin.
Ye Zi gave Jiang Mo a cold laugh.
Hearing Ye Zi's laughter, Jiang Mo suddenly felt a chill. Was his cold poison about to flare up again?
Ye Zi: "You are 21 years old. If your physical condition is not resolved, you will not live past the year after next."
Jiang Mo suddenly laughed: "Not living past the year after next? Underage Master, do you know how many people predicted I wouldn't live to adulthood since I was born? And I'm still perfectly fine now."
Jiang Mo was even more indignant. In his opinion, Ye Zi was no different from those so-called holy doctors and high monks who had only a reputation. They were all just practicing some deceptive tricks and going around swindling money.
"Mo'er, how can you speak to your master like that?" Seeing that Jiang Mo's attitude was getting increasingly strange, Old Madam Jiang quickly reminded him.
"You...are not convinced!" Ye Zi looked at Jiang Mo, and this time she even laughed out loud.
"What are you laughing at?" Jiang Mo looked at Ye Zi, who was smiling, and finally realized that something was wrong.
Just as Jiang Mo finished asking his question, he saw Ye Zi lightly tap him with her fingertip, and his body floated into the air towards the roof.
"Ah..." Suddenly lifted into the air, Jiang Mo screamed in fright and cried out in panic, "What's going on... Grandpa and Grandma, save me, I'm afraid of heights."
