"Ouch, my mother!" Ling Tian flinched, instinctively ducking his head from the sudden slap.
He turned to see his sixth master, Yan Yu, who had delivered the blow.
"Master Yan Yu, why did you hit me?"
"What's wrong with hitting you? You and Bing Xia, the girl, are living together, so why are you still pretending to be pure?
What era is this? What have you two been busy with all day?"
"Well, Master, matters of the heart... they require time..."
"Slap!"
"Ouch!"
Ling Tian received another slap.
"Are you going to teach me about matters of the heart?" Yan Yu's eyes widened. Not just Ling Tian, but his other masters also shrunk back.
When this formidable woman got angry, ordinary people couldn't hold her back.
"You and Bing Xia are both over 18, adults. Decades ago, at this age, people already had children running around!
If you don't think for yourself, you must think for Bing Xia. The sooner her cold poison is removed, the better it will be for her body.
Do you think it's a comfortable feeling to be surrounded by cold and have icy hands and feet all day?"
Master Yan Yu said, feigning to raise her hand again. Ling Tian, scared, quickly covered his head.
"Master, let's talk properly. A gentleman uses his words, not his fists!"
"I am a woman, and women are not gentlemen. I'll hit you, so what!"
"Don't hit me, don't hit me, Master. I promise you, I'll win her over this year."
"That's more like it!" Big Wind Novel
Ling Tian wiped the sweat from his forehead, his heart still pounding. At this moment, his fifth master, Gu Tianxi, also spoke.
"Your Master Yan Yu is right. You're not young anymore. Find time to get married, settle down, and have a bunch of children.
Now that you're not on the mountain, us old folks are terribly lonely. Hurry up and have a bunch of children, send them up the mountain, and we'll raise them for you!"
Fourth Master Xiang Yuntian chimed in, giving a thumbs-up.
"Yes, Old Gu is right. That's exactly how it should be.
But one child isn't enough. You should have at least six. Each of us old guys can raise one and pass on all our skills to them!
Honestly, in terms of our abilities, you, Ling Tian, have only learned the superficial."
"Right!" "Makes sense!" "I second that!"
Ling Tian looked at his masters. These guys were acting like unruly elders, egging him on, but he knew it was all out of affection for him.
After a while of joking, the conversation returned to the main topic.
Fifth Master Gu Tianxi said, "Ling Tian, if you want revenge, being powerful yourself isn't enough. You need your own influence.
To cultivate your own influence, money, reputation, trustworthy confidantes, and a stable, reliable source of information are essential.
Do you have any thoughts on these aspects?"
"Fifth Master, making money isn't difficult for me. I plan to expand and strengthen Bing Tian Pharmaceutical.
With the formulas my third master gave me, making money through the pharmaceutical factory can benefit the public and treat more patients. This is also a quick way to earn money.
As for reputation, I plan to obtain a medical license and then promote and develop the medical skills I learned from my third master!
Especially, I intend to pass on the traditional Chinese medicine knowledge I learned from my third master to more people, saving more lives!"
Third Master nodded. "Very good. For thousands of years, the TCM community has been stagnant and hoarding its knowledge. Countless valuable things have been taken to the grave by those stubborn old fogeys.
If TCM doesn't change, it will likely perish before long.
Ling Tian, you must remember that TCM is a treasure. If utilized well, you won't lack reputation or connections.
No one would refuse the friendship of a top doctor."
"Understood, Master, I get it!"
"Hey, Ling Tian, didn't I already tell you? I've given you the Yan Yu Token, and now, Yan Yu Pavilion is yours!
Rest assured, if you ask the people of Yan Yu Pavilion to go through fire and water, they won't hesitate.
As for intelligence, Yan Yu Pavilion's intelligence capabilities are very formidable, both domestically and internationally!
What, do you have some moral潔癖 and think the sisters in Yan Yu Pavilion are impure?"
Master Yan Yu glared again, and Ling Tian flinched.
"Sixth Master, I swear to heaven, I've never thought that. I, Ling Tian, am an orphan. If it weren't for my masters raising me, I would have been a pile of bones long ago.
What right do I have to look down on the sisters of Yan Yu Pavilion!"
"Don't just say nice things. After you go down the mountain, contact Yan Yu Pavilion as soon as possible!
You'll have the trustworthy people and intelligence you need, all of it!" Yan Yu said with feigned anger.
"Yes, Sixth Master!"
Although Sixth Master Yan Yu had a bad temper, often hitting and scolding Ling Tian, and frequently resorting to violence, Ling Tian knew that his Sixth Master genuinely cared for him, treating him like her own son.
Looking at Sixth Master's attitude towards Wang Bing Xia, it was clear she treated Wang Bing Xia like her daughter-in-law.
Ling Tian and Wang Bing Xia stayed on the mountain for five days.
Every morning, after greeting his masters, Ling Tian would take Bing Xia around the mountain, showing her many places where he had lived and played.
Wang Bing Xia was also very happy. She was eager to learn about Ling Tian's past and to see the places where he had lived.
Finally, the day of departure arrived. His masters didn't stay idle and stuffed Ling Tian with a large pile of good things.
Ling Tian had brought a lot of New Year's goods when he arrived, and he left with even more. The young Daoist boys on the mountain helped Ling Tian carry his luggage down the mountain.
On the way back, Ling Tian drove while chatting with Wang Bing Xia.
"Bing Xia, you stayed with Sixth Master the past few nights. What did you two talk about?"
Wang Bing Xia blushed.
"I'm not telling you?"
"Why not? Between us, what else is there to hide?"
"I'm just not telling you!" Wang Bing Xia's face turned as red as an apple.
How could she tell Ling Tian that Sixth Master Yan Yu had taught her how to conquer a man and capture his heart?
Upon returning to Wang Family Village, Ling Tian and Bing Xia visited Old Master Wang.
Daoist Master Xian Yuan also prepared a gift for Old Master Wang and asked Ling Tian to deliver it. Wang Chunfeng was so delighted that his mouth split into a wide grin.
Back home, Ling Tian and Wang Bing Xia seized the opportunity to practice their skills.
Although the weather and spiritual energy on Dragon Coil Mountain were abundant, they were still inferior to their own home.
The night passed without incident. The next morning, Ling Tian and Bing Xia got up again, picked up his father-in-law Wang Qing Tian, and went directly to the Bing Tian Pharmaceutical factory.
Upon arriving at the factory, even though it was the last day of the Spring Festival holiday, the factory was bustling with activity.
Large trucks were lined up outside the factory grounds, waiting to load goods.
Bing Tian Pharmaceutical's products would be sent to all parts of the country through them!
