Chapter 844: Chapter 844 Selling dicine Underway Chapter 844: Chapter 844 Selling dicine Underway Elder Peng has recently been staying at Luohua Manor, living quite comfortably. He deeply appreciated the benefits of the valley’s bamboo forest, not only feeling much more spirited, but also finding that his respiratory symptoms have significantly lessened.
For most people, they would hate to spend a mont away from the valley, just like Yuan Zihao and his son-in-law feel.
But Elder Peng was different; he was notoriously restless. He used to love wandering around, and it was only when his body no longer allowed it that he reduced his activities. Now that he’s feeling better, he’s growing restless again.
Of course, restlessness was only one reason; he had an even more important reason: he hoped to frequent Luohua Manor.
Lao Wu, who was sent away, had felt the sa way, but he had pursued it in an unacceptable manner, and Elder Peng didn’t wish to make the sa mistake.
So while he focused on health and longevity, he was also eager to learn more about Feng Jun’s preferences—without breaking any of the manor’s rules.
The road from the valley to the manor was free for him to wander, as per the manor’s rules. As long as he didn’t stray—that is, accidentally wander into a Lingzhi Formation, which would be asking for exile—he was fine.
Seeing Hu Shengwei talking with Feng Jun, he naturally stopped in his tracks. If you’re not chatting in private, then I can listen.
—Hu Shengwei did want to talk to Feng Jun privately, alas, he didn’t even have the qualifications to enter the front building, so he had to converse in the courtyard.
After expressing his gratitude, Hu Shengwei pleaded for quite a while, hoping that Master Feng would help treat him.
Feng Jun, however, was very straightforward, first stating that your illness is relatively mild and easily treatable, and secondly… he hadn’t treated cancer before and couldn’t guarantee a cure.
Hu Shengwei didn’t dare to insist too much, saying then I will go for surgery, should I pay you for my mother-in-law’s expenses first?
Feng Jun wasn’t in a hurry about this. He had never encountered anyone bold enough to keep the money for his treatnt—those he had treated could feel how miraculous and unapproachable he was.
So he expressed, you go deal with your kidney cancer first. As for the fees, we can settle them after you’re better—Yang Chunni hasn’t finished her dicine yet. I will only collect the money after she finishes this pill.
In truth, one Foundation Establishnt Pill wasn’t enough to extend Yang Chunni’s life by a year; subsequent reinforcent would be necessary.
In any case, both parties were quite reasonable and the negotiation was rather pleasant. Then Hu Shengwei left with a thousand thanks, but Feng Jun turned his head and cast a sowhat smiling glance at Elder Peng.
Elder Peng acted nonchalant, smiling as he spoke, “You two are chatting here and don’t mind my eavesdropping… You can actually extend people’s lives? That’s really impressive.”
Feng Jun didn’t mind that he heard this, so he replied straightforwardly.
“To extend life is a false concept; when one’s ti is truly up, no miracle elixir can help. His mother-in-law simply overexerted herself when she was young, damaging her foundation. Because her innate constitution was strong, it’s possible to compensate a bit.”
Elder Peng understood this and excitedly asked, “I also suffered a lot when I was young, living in a drafty cattle shed, doing tough jobs like repairing Earth and burning in brick kilns, often not having enough to eat… that counts as damaging the foundation, right?”
“That’s possible,” Feng Jun nodded. “I haven’t examined you, but if you want, I can… The examination fee is ten million.”
Elder Peng was startled by the response, “Just for an examination… it costs ten million?”
Feng Jun replied, nonchalantly, “Don’t you spend money on an MRI, CT scans, and so forth? If my examination fee is this high, naturally, there’s a good reason for it.”
Elder Peng wasn’t short on money. He might not have had a lot personally, but his children, so in politics and so in business, were doing well, and his connections were strong. A little favoritism on certain matters, and he never had to worry about people bringing money to him.
He was just a bit surprised; the fee for the checkup was indeed high, but it wasn’t beyond his ans.
So he asked with a smile, “We’re all acquaintances, can’t you give a discount?”
He and another elder were living in the manor without incurring any expenses, but they intended to curry favor with Luohua Manor. They had already given plenty of gifts to the staff—from top to bottom, even Gazi received presents worth several million.
So these people’s relationship with Luohua Manor wasn’t bad at all, and asking for a discount wasn’t an unreasonable request.
Feng Jun shook his head with a smile, replying, “What I an is, Elder Peng, if you want to check your lifespan, I will charge this much, and it’s not that I want to check it for you. To put it bluntly, there are many people willing to pay these ten million, and I wouldn’t give any of them the opportunity.”
Take it easy, Elder Peng, it’s not who’s seeking you. Strictly speaking, this is your chance.
Elder Peng, counting his days, imdiately responded upon hearing this, “Then help check how much longer I can live, I’ll give you ten million later.”
Feng Jun laughed at this, “This examination requires paynt upfront. That’s my rule. No credit on small-scale business.”
Elder Peng gave him a look, “You call this small-scale business? You’re really heartless… Then I’ll make the arrangents for the money to be transferred.”
He took out his mobile phone to make a call, but suddenly knitted his brows and muttered to himself, “Knowing one’s lifespan… is that a good or a bad thing?”
He was indeed not young anymore, his vitality sowhat depleted, but on the whole, his body was still decent, stronger than most of his peers.
It was because his body was still in good shape that, although he wanted to prolong his life, he had to consider one thing: knowing in advance how long he would live, wouldn’t that an counting down the days every day?
After so thought, he finally shook his head, “Forget it. Knowing one’s lifespan would make every day even more nerve-wracking.”
Feng Jun didn’t compel him further, rely advising him, “If you want to nourish your body, it’s better to plan ahead. Firstly, if your health deteriorates in the future, you might be too weak to recover, and secondly, fortifying your foundation while your body is still strong will be much more effective than waiting until the last minute.”
“That’s true,” Elder Peng was open-minded enough to accept suggestions and advice, “When I was young, I didn’t pay attention to taking calcium. By the ti I was in my sixties, it was almost too late… Anyway, I’ll make the call.”
After he made the call, he didn’t have to worry about the rest; soone would take care of it for him. He was a bit surprised by the recent changes in Mountain Master Feng, “Mountain Master Feng, have you been in need of money lately?”
There really are many perceptive people in this world.
Feng Jun didn’t deny it; instead, he nodded, “I have always been short of money. I earn more now, but my expenses are also higher. I’m currently pondering how to create another stable source of inco.”
Elder Peng blinked in curiosity and asked, “Your net worth now… it must be over a billion, right?”
Feng Jun raised his hand and pointed towards the Jade Mansion not far off, “That sort of thing… can’t really be appraised, but I also can’t sell it. Those things that are easy to liquidate, converted into cash, should be worth several billions.”
What he ant by “easy to liquidate” items included, in addition to the Jade residence, he had hundreds of tons of Gold in the mobile phone dinsion, which were also not easy to sell. Otherwise, his net worth could easily surpass a hundred billion.
Elder Peng was startled by his words, “With so much money… you’re still not satisfied?”
Feng Jun replied with a smile, “Dissatisfaction is the driving force of human progress. Besides… who would mind having too much money?”
As he spoke, he walked towards the Moon Gate that led to the backyard, sighing softly, “With a big family and business to manage, those who don’t take the reins… just don’t understand the cost of living.”
Elder Peng stared at him for a long while before lightly slapping his forehead, “I forgot to ask what kind of new source of inco he wants to find.”
The next day, Elder Peng’s people transferred the money to the account of Luohua Manor, and Feng Jun kept his promise by giving him a checkup.
It turned out that Elder Peng’s health was still not bad. Although he believed that he had suffered quite a bit when he was young and had injured his foundations, he rose to a high position quickly after being rehabilitated, which allowed his body to recover well.
So chronic issues remained, such as rheumatoid arthritis, but they didn’t affect his lifespan too much.
Feng Jun himself thought, even using three Foundation Establishnt Pills to fortify Elder Peng’s foundations would at most extend his life by three to five years.
The key was for ordinary people, those additional three to five years may not have much to do with the Foundation Establishnt Pills—it was entirely possible that Elder Peng could live to such an old age on his own.
Feng Jun was straightforward and didn’t hide these thoughts. He honestly stated, “In fact, I can’t tell exactly how long you will live. I can only say that with your physical condition, you won’t rapidly age in the next seven to eight years…”
“I can give you three pills that guarantee you won’t age rapidly within the next ten years, but I can’t prove the correlation between them.”
What he could ensure was that the other party’s body wouldn’t age rapidly. As for things like sudden cancer or other illnesses, those were not covered by his assurance. Even if the other party didn’t control his diet and developed problems like hyperlipidemia, hypertension, or hyperglycemia, that wasn’t within his guarantee either.
Elder Peng thought it over briefly and understood his statent. Having persisted in health maintenance for a lengthy ti, he knew many Dharma thods to improve his health, which didn’t automatically prove an extension of life.
So he asked, “The pills you want to sell , how much are they each?”
Feng Jun provided the price without flinching, “Fifty million each. You can start by trying one pill… I’ll sell you a maximum of three.”
Don’t think it’s expensive. Even if you want to buy more, I may not be willing to sell.
Elder Peng was also straightforward, “Then I’ll try one pill for starters. How should I take it?”
Feng Jun had already co up with a plan, “Divide it into four parts. Take one part at the end of sumr, two in autumn, and the last one in winter… this will give the best results.”
Spring is the season for growth, and while foundation nourishnt is not wrong at that ti, it can also bring about so negative reactions. He thought that with Elder Peng’s advanced age, it wouldn’t be suitable for him to take the Foundation Establishnt Pill in spring.
Elder Peng nodded without any objection. However, he had another request, “Can you treat my rheumatoid arthritis? Actually, I feel that how long I live is secondary; the important thing is to be healthy while I’m alive…”
This is also the thought of most elderly people. It’s a misery to live half-alive.
