Urban Super Medical Saint-Chapter 445 - 444: Summon the Wind and Call the Rain

"You mean to buy up all the surrounding land?" Liu Jiayao asked, her beautiful eyes sparkling.

"Why not? Others might not know that this is a Feng Shui treasure land, but we do. Besides, if we plant flowers all over the place in the future, it will become a super garden. With the mountains, the water, and the big garden, and the air being so fresh, what place could be more livable than this?" Ge Dongxu said.

"But this is a suburban area, who knows when it will be developed. All of Qinglan Cosmetics Company’s liquid funds are currently being prepared for the Flower Spirit, and there is not a penny to spare for other investments," Liu Jiayao thought for a while and then shook her head.

"Heh, the suburbs have their advantages too, which is that the land is cheap, and the district government is practically begging us to buy it. As for the money, don’t worry about it, it’s no problem for me to allocate one or two billion," Ge Dongxu said.

"One or two billion is no problem?" Upon hearing this, Liu Jiayao’s eyes widened in astonishment. She of course knew that Ge Dongxu had several other companies under his control, but those companies were all in the midst of rapid expansion, with sizeable investments, and just half a year ago Ge Dongxu had drawn over sixty million to help acquire the shares of other Qinglan Cosmetics shareholders. Later on, due to the development of Flower Spirit, purchasing this piece of land, and so on, he had injected nearly thirty million more. Now Ge Dongxu could casually mention pulling out another billion or two, how could it not shock Liu Jiayao?

"If you’re planning to take out a loan, there’s really no need. After all, this is the suburbs, who knows when it will be developed, and you will need money for other things too. If you do take out a loan and a large amount of capital is tied up here, causing cash flow difficulties that hinder the development of other industries, then it would be a loss indeed," but Liu Jiayao’s mind was also quick, and she soon realized that Ge Dongxu might be planning to finance the land purchase through a loan.

"Relax, I recently came into a fortune, so I have some extra cash," Ge Dongxu said with a smile.

On his recent trip to Japan, he earned more than eight hundred million in cash alone. If he were to liquidate assets like jewelry and stocks, he estimated that it would be at least over ten billion. Although it was temporarily lent to Matsukawa Nozomu for circulation, for him to allocate one or two billion and find a way to transfer it to Huaxia Country was not a problem.

Liu Jiayao looked at Ge Dongxu in a daze for a while, then shook her head and said, "Well, there’s nothing that happens to you that should surprise me."

Ge Dongxu chuckled, then pointed to the surrounding land and said, "After I get back from Hong Kong, let’s find a time to meet with the people from Bindong District government and buy up all this land around us. In addition to using it to continue to expand our flower cultivation, we can gradually develop it into a large-scale community that integrates ecological tourism and residential living."

"Your ambitions are pretty grand. How much money would that take? And seriously, could this place really attract people?" Liu Jiayao said thoughtfully, clearly not very optimistic about Ge Dongxu’s idea.

It is true that the land is currently a wasteland of woods, sporadically inhabited by a few farmers, and hardly populated at all. Even if it was to be developed, Liu Jiayao thought it would take at least ten to twenty years. With such a large sum of money, why invest it here instead of somewhere else?

"Never mind, the money would just be sitting idle anyway, so let’s consider it a preparation for Linzhou City’s future, creating an earthly paradise and preserving a piece of green mountains and clear waters. Isn’t that nice?" Ge Dongxu laughed.

He was indeed serious about this idea. The land was lying fallow, and if he planted flowers, trees, and infused the Qi of money from the river with mana, and then arranged everything well, a fine ecological environment would form—a real Feng Shui treasure land, also preserving a piece of green for Linzhou City. If he didn’t buy it now, it might end up being developed haphazardly, or even worse, turned into factories, which would truly be a waste of this land.

Liu Jiayao was momentarily stunned by his words and then snuggled up against Ge Dongxu, whispering, "Whatever you say is best, then that’s what we’ll do."

Ge Dongxu quietly embraced Liu Jiayao’s waist for a while, then kissed her forehead and said, "Let’s get to work."

Saying this, Ge Dongxu slowly walked with Liu Jiayao around the flower beds.

When they arrived at the spot he had chosen, he crouched down and directly pressed the Jade with mana into the ground.

Watching the fist-sized Jade being gently pressed by Ge Dongxu into the soil and slowly sinking in, Liu Jiayao couldn’t help but be astounded and asked with a bit of worry, "What if the gardeners dig it out when they’re tilling the soil?"

"Don’t worry, the jade is buried very deep. We’re just planting flowers, not building foundations for a house; we won’t dig up the jade," Ge Dongxu said with a smile.

"Can it really get buried very deep with just a light press like that?" Liu Jiayao couldn’t quite believe it.

"Why don’t you grab a hoe and try digging to see?" Ge Dongxu teased.

"Annoying! You know I don’t understand this stuff, and you’re still saying that!" Liu Jiayao pinched Ge Dongxu and rolled her eyes at him.

"Haha!" Ge Dongxu laughed happily.

Ge Dongxu then found nine other locations and buried all the jade stones he had into the soil.

When all nine jade stones were buried, Ge Dongxu formed a spell with his hands and pointed towards the directions of the nine jade stones, casting nine Dharma Seals in succession. Faintly, nine invisible streams of energy soared up from the nine locations, then formed a Nine Palaces Bagua Map in the sky and gradually disappeared from sight.

"That’s it," Ge Dongxu said, clapping his hands.

"That’s it? I don’t feel any change." Liu Jiayao felt a bit disappointed.

"The change is very subtle and will take years and years, it’s called ’nourishing silently.’ If there were big changes right after setting it up, it would attract the attention of those with ill intentions," Ge Dongxu said with a smile.

"I understand, it’s just a little disappointing not to see anything spectacular," Liu Jiayao nodded and said.

"If you really want to see, it’s not hard." Ge Dongxu chuckled, then formed a spell with his hands, shouting in a low voice, "Rain, come!"

Suddenly, dark clouds gathered over the Qian River and it began to pour, leaving Liu Jiayao staring in amazement. It took her a moment to stutter, "You, you can actually summon wind and rain. Does that, does that make you an immortal?"

"What I did can hardly count as summoning wind and rain, it was just calling over a small cloud. In the legends, real summoning wind and rain involves causing a storm and pouring rain over thousands of miles with a wave of a hand. Now that is real immortality, and I am far from that," Ge Dongxu explained with a laugh.

"That’s still very impressive. In the eyes of us ordinary people, it really doesn’t seem much different from immortality," Liu Jiayao said, taking a while to regain her composure, her eyes revealing a complex look as she gazed at Ge Dongxu.

When she was very young, like all girls, Liu Jiayao dreamed of princes and princesses, but she never imagined that one day her man would be an "immortal."

...

Two days later at noon, Ge Dongxu and Liu Jiayao were together in the airport lobby, waiting for Yang Yinhou and Ouyang Murong to emerge.
