Mr. Xie finally pulled through.

However, he was barely hanging on. It was Lin Miao who pulled him out of there. This guy, despite suffering greatly, also had a great stroke of fortune.

The many blockages in his internal meridians were completely cleared, and now there were no obstacles to his promotion to the Blood Fusion Realm. As for how far he can go afterward, that will depend on his efforts and fate.

Such an opportunity was granted to Mr. Xie.

Of course, it was also due to the loyal protection of his family for months by the twin sisters, Lianxin and Liansuo, who received the same treatment as Mr. Xie.

The two sisters originally had high aptitude in martial arts, and with their understanding and study of the human body’s meridians alongside Lin Miao, their theoretical comprehension was already solid.

Now, with the snake blood medicinal bath for marrow cleansing, their aptitude has further improved, and their cultivation speed has become faster than ever.

Moreover, the most astonishing thing is that the twins’ mutual telepathy has become sharper.

Especially with changes in emotions, whether it’s the elder sister or the younger one, as long as one feels a certain emotion, the other can immediately sense it.

And, their intentions...

This is what is most terrifying.

These two can fight as one person, yet their combat strength is not a simple addition of the two, so Lianxin and Liansuo can definitely fight above their level.

...

The Convenient Medical Diagnosis Point has reopened.

The people in Xiuyue Square spread the news among themselves, worried that Lin Miao might close the diagnosis point after completing his "trial" task.

Where would they go for medical help then?

Moreover, with Lin Miao’s medical skills so advanced, where else could they find a physician with such a high benefit-cost ratio...

When Lin Miao suddenly closed the clinic, people came to check daily, but for several consecutive days, the doors were shut, leading to some rumors that Lin Miao would not return.

Of course, most did not believe the rumors, as Lin Miao’s house was still being renovated, and his fiancée, Youwei, was also present.

Additionally, Lin Miao had just been appointed Advisor by the court, so he had no reason to abandon this incomplete "trial" task.

Therefore, the rumors couldn’t make a splash, and as soon as the diagnosis point reopened, all rumors were dispelled.

A long queue formed again at the entrance of the diagnosis point.

...

"Mr. Lin, the day before yesterday when you were not home, Gong Shida from the Pharmacist Association delivered Anning Hall’s medicinal note to me." Xia Zhu placed a medicinal note issued by the Pharmacist Association in front of Lin Miao.

"Weren’t we told that we didn’t meet the regulations to resume operations? So, how come we meet them now?" Lin Miao chuckled.

"Isn’t it because you’ve been appointed as an Advisor by the court, and they know they can’t afford to offend you, so they quickly changed their tune!" Xia Zhu said, familiar with their nature.

"Since we have the medicinal note, then let’s prepare for Anning Hall to reopen. The people in Xiuyue Square have too much difficulty buying medicine." Lin Miao nodded. Gong Shida was one of Ye Shengyuan’s men, and now that he was an official, they didn’t dare to blatantly target him for fear he would confront them directly.

"Since you haven’t been home these past few days, I have been holed up in Anning Hall preparing for the reopening." Xia Zhu nodded.

"Anning Hall hasn’t operated for so long, so its signboard is no longer useful; should we change it?" Lin Miao thought for a moment. If we bought Anning Hall and it could continue operating, there’d be no need to change its signboard.

But now that it hasn’t operated for several months, there’s no need to keep the signboard, especially since it’s not his.

"So, Mr. Lin, what name should we use?"

"Let’s call it Yongning Hall, how does that sound?"

"Yongning Hall, eternal peace, it sounds great." Xia Zhu turned to Sun Youwei sitting across from her, "Madam, what do you think?"

"Yongning Hall, I like it very much." Sun Youwei smiled sweetly. Now, as the lady of two medical halls, she certainly loved it.

"Alright then, Mr. Lin, since you proposed the plaque for Furong Garden, you can’t play favorites with Yongning Hall’s plaque either." Xia Zhu said.

"Rest assured, how could I refuse family business!" Lin Miao laughed heartily.

He immediately wrote the three characters "Yongning Hall" for Xia Zhu to take back and have made into a plaque.

...

With Xia Zhu busy with Yongning Hall matters, she spent less time at the diagnosis point, leaving Sun Youwei to primarily stay at the diagnosis point assisting Lin Miao with consultations.

The reception desk became Lien Yurou’s exclusive domain.

Occasionally, Xu Qixi would come by to help out.

With Lianxin and Liansuo, this room full of beauties became a wonderful sight on this street. Even if not coming for treatment, spending ten bronze coins to admire the beauties was worth it.

However, let no lecher come, lest the Snow Mountain Sect heroine’s sword, without eyes, finds him.

...

The epidemic at the Su Family’s Horse Field has been effectively controlled, and by this month, no newly infected horses have been found.

The entire Su Family finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This horse plague, lasting from September last year to April this year, nearly half a year, brought unimaginable losses to the Su Family. The monetary loss was hard to calculate, and the blow to the Su Family’s reputation was enormous.

Especially because it nearly led to internal divisions within the Su Family.

The remedies and quarantine measures provided by Lin Miao greatly aided the Su Family and can be said to have saved them from collapse.

The Su Family is, of course, immensely grateful to Lin Miao. Even Su Qi and Bai Feng often bring him good things. Even his own son, Su Chen, doesn’t get this treatment.

If Su Qi weren’t so entangled with various matters, he would have already rushed over to see Lin Miao in person.

Now that the horse field matters have concluded, Su Qi plans to come to Dongshan. Moving forward, they need to gradually restore their vitality. Raising horses is not like farming; it takes three to five years to recover unless they can find a way to annex other horse fields. However, the Su Family is currently too weakened to do that.

Fortunately, although the Su Family suffered significant losses, they made a hefty profit in the Great Yue Country trade this time. Although it doesn’t completely make up for their deficit, it greatly alleviates their cash flow issues.

This toughest hurdle has been overcome.

Su Qi has finally found the time to come to Dongshan City. Moreover, the trade caravan that Su Chen and the Snow Mountain Sect joined is about to return.

They plan to have a father-son reunion in Dongshan City.

...

"Mr. Lin, when do you plan to move back?" Si Miaoxue returned from Li Hen City and naturally dragged Lin Miao to the underground chamber to feel thoroughly exhausted.

Afterward, she continued to teasingly provoke.

"In a couple of days. I’ve been busy recently, shouldn’t we pick a good day to move?" Lin Miao actually began to like Si Miaoxue gradually. Although she was slightly older, she was smart and caring. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Far more adorable than those young girls who throw tantrums over minor things.

Deep down, men still prefer mature women. That’s why women are considered more mature than men of the same age.

The reason is probably a choice of natural evolution.

"Yue Mei, that temptress, also wants to come back with you. I held her down. She’s up to no good, Mr. Lin, be careful."

"What’s she up to? Is she going to eat me?"

"Hmph, you never know. Do you know what she’s thinking?" Si Miaoxue asked.

"What?"

"She’s thinking about how to be the first to bear your child and become Mrs. Lin for the Lin Family..." Si Miaoxue added fuel to the fire.

"Having ambition is good, but accomplishing it is another matter." Lin Miao chuckled. Yue Mei really is restless, but as long as he can keep a lid on it, nothing is an issue.

"I’ve bought several shops near ’Lin’s’, demolished, and plan to rebuild. A rough estimate says it’ll take at least fifty thousand taels of silver. The problem is, there are no good construction teams in Li Hen City, so we’ll have to hire from outside, but those teams are reluctant to go to Li Hen City..."

"Doesn’t the Su Family have a construction team?" Lin Miao said, "Our house is nearly complete. They can take over that project?"

"Isn’t Huaye Tower undergoing renovation? Doesn’t it require workers?"

"Renovation doesn’t need structural engineering. We can balance both. Plus, we can offer high rates to hire freelance workers. If we improve food, lodging, and protection, people should be willing." Lin Miao suggested.

"I’ve returned this time to solve this issue. Also, the three major forces want to invest in our ’Lin’s’. What do you think?"

"It’s possible. Each can have up to a fifteen percent stake, no more. That’s the bottom line." Lin Miao said.

"Giving away 45% of our profits for no reason is too costly!"

"Don’t focus on these petty gains. Remember, I told you our target is Li Hen City." Lin Miao said, "You can suggest cross-investment. They don’t need to pay money; each of the three can exchange one percent stakes."

"Will they agree?"

"It depends on their thinking. Try it. If they agree, then do it. If not, talk again. As long as things aren’t broken, there’s always room for negotiation." Lin Miao said.

"Should we recruit people from Li Hen City?"

"Yes, but with rules and constraints. Those who don’t abide can’t stay." Lin Miao nodded, realizing that integrating into a city like Li Hen City can’t be done alone.

"Our raw materials for crystal sugar refining can’t keep up. Our dispersed purchases have already driven the surrounding cities’ prices up by over 30%. Continuing will surely attract attention." Si Miaoxue said.

"No worries. During Su Chen’s trip to the Great Yue Country, we established a direct import channel for raw sugar. Except for transportation and tax, we’ll have a stable raw sugar import channel, eliminating the need for scattered purchases." Lin Miao said.

"That’s good."

"The first batch of raw sugar should arrive soon. Arrange for people to transport it directly to the warehouse outside the city, avoiding another tax upon city re-entry." Lin Miao instructed.

"Okay."

"What about Yin Mei?" Lin Miao asked, though he had handed over the disposition of Yin Mei to Si Miaoxue and Yue Mei.

"Yue Mei severed his tendons, crippling his martial arts. Now, he’s locked in the ’Lin’s’ underground vegetable cellar." Si Miaoxue said.

"Didn’t you get any information on your mentor, Long Po?"

"He did mention some things, mostly what Yue Wu understood. My mentor was indeed deceived by that old man and accused of stealing the ’Moon God Record,’ sent to Moon Demon Prison, but nobody knows why he did this." Si Miaoxue said.

"According to you, he’s holding your mentor to lure you back. Now, you haven’t gone back, and Yin Mei has been captured by us. He should have another move."

"Yes, we don’t fear direct confrontation but worry he’ll send people secretly. This way, we’re in the open while they’re hidden, making it hard to defend."

"Then erase all your traces in Dongshan City!" Lin Miao said.

"Are you saying, withdraw all my people from Dongshan City?" Si Miaoxue asked in surprise.

"Correct. Let Qin Yanran entirely vanish from Dongshan City, sever all ties with the Moon Worship Sect Headquarters, or rather, only receive messages, don’t reply." Lin Miao nodded.

"Alright, I’ll give it a try." Si Miaoxue nodded. Making Qin Yanran and her subordinates disappear from Dongshan City was easy, just a word from her.

Severing ties with the Moon Worship Sect Headquarters could be a way to force them to react.
