While he was escorting Xue Meining to Qingshui High, he repeatedly urged her to memorize the Spirit Potency Art verbatim, for he would teach her the relevant cultivation techniques in time.
After he sent Xue Meining off, Ling Yun returned to Mansion Number One with Bai Xianer to continue writing down the Nine Needles of the Spiritual Pivot.
It was necessary for Ling Yun to leave Qingshui City temporarily following his college entrance examinations. However, someone had to man the Ordinary People’s Clinic.
Ling Yun already had someone in mind — Xue Meining.
She had learned and accomplished much in Traditional Chinese Medicine under the mentors.h.i.+p of Miracle Doctor Xue over a span of more than ten years. The Ordinary People’s Clinic was the best avenue for her to put her knowledge into practice and bring Traditional Chinese Medicine to greater heights. Therefore, Ling Yun intended to give all his knowledge of the Nine Needles of the Spiritual Pivot to Xue Meining.
Tang Meng called at 8:30 in the morning, asking Ling Yun for his address so he could come over.
Ling Yun asked Tang Meng to bring a complete set of the Human Meridians Acupuncture Maps and carried on studying.
Bai Xianer was bored to death. She sat in the courtyard and diligently practiced her Celestial Fox Attribute, hoping to kill the drought causing demon with her own hands to avenge her parents.
More than thirty minutes later, Tang Meng arrived at Mansion Number One in a Porsche. Ever since Ling Yun looted more than ten luxury cars from the a.s.sa.s.sins Organization, Tang Meng had been actively switching cars, wis.h.i.+ng that he could drive two cars simultaneously.
“Keep showing off… you’ll be the first one to die when the people from the a.s.sa.s.sins Organization come knocking on our door!” Ling Yun teased.
“Haha, even if they were really out for me, they would at least have first done their homework and know who I’m under, right?” Tang Meng was undaunted.
“Here are the Meridian Acupuncture Maps you wanted. Four sets of them.”
Tang Meng took the maps from the car and pa.s.sed to Ling Yun.
It was the complete set of Human Meridian Acupuncture Maps, annotated with the Twelve Princ.i.p.al Meridians, governor and conception vessels within the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, as well as Traditional Chinese Medicine acupuncture points.
Inside the set were three diagrams, which were the front view, back view, and side view of the human body. Excluding size, they were virtually indistinguishable from the three diagrams that were hanging on the walls of Xue Meining’s room.
“What are you going to do with so many maps?”
“Preparedness averts peril. Since Little White wants one too, it’s better to bring one there lest I need to make a return trip,” Tang Meng said casually.
“What about Tie Xiaohu?”
“Haha, he’s still downcast about losing over thirty million yuan last night! He waved goodbye to the money in an underground casino in Qingxi district, all in a single bet!” Tang Meng chirped, taking pleasure in Tie Xiaohu’s misfortune.
“Screw you! That’s my money! Over thirty million yuan, and you still want to laugh?” Ling Yun roared as he combined head-smacking and kicking and delivered it to Tang Meng in one swift strike.
With blows to both his head and his body, Tang Meng was in such anguish he was no longer able to laugh. “Big Brother Yun, they set a challenge for all the casinos in our Qingshui City, claiming that they would bankrupt all of them with a gambling capital of 500 million yuan.”
“Five hundred million yuan! Everyone will be eyeing such a large fortune! How else do we establish our presence here if we don’t retain the half a billion and make them go home empty-handed?” Tang Meng said.
“Half a billion yuan? Wow… they seem to have powerful backing,” Ling Yun said.
With his possession of the divine sense and Yin-Yang Eye, Ling Yun had already decided that half a billion would be in his pockets.
“So what now, Big Brother Yun? Is there any way we could screw them over?” Tang Meng asked eagerly. Looking at Ling Yun’s expression, he knew that it was a plausible suggestion.
“So, this was why you were so excited!” Ling Yun finally understood why Tang Meng was so joyous, but he withheld his comments and remained non-committal.
Ling Yun had never stepped foot in a casino in the mortal realm and was thus unfamiliar with the rules. Therefore, he needed rehearsals with Tang Meng.
“Alright, listen up first…”
“Have you compensated the owners of the speedboat in Wenzhou city?” Ling Yun paused briefly before asking Tang Meng.
“Can I not… The boat was old, and its durability was eroding. The highest it could go for was 2.6 million yuan. Sigh, tragic…”
“Hold back your crocodile tears. How about you tell me which of the dozen cars I brought back was worth less than a million.”
“You can never have too much money… What a pity you sank such a good speedboat…”
“Money begets peace. I still need to sit for the college entrance examinations.”
Ling Yun knew that he was already marked by the Condor Team of Huaxia — it was simply a matter of time before they came.
The later, the better, of course.
“Do two things for me as soon as possible.
“First, help me buy two luxury yachts, the grander, the better. A small one for Qingshui Lake and a large one for Qingshui Wharf. Any problems?”
“Yes. Private boats and yachts are not allowed on Qingshui Lake. Furthermore, we would have nowhere to put them!” Tang Meng instantly pointed out the problem.
“Find a way. Why not just construct a private pier near Mansion Number One?”
“Splurging again…” Tang Meng answered bitterly.
Tang Meng had no idea why Ling Yun suddenly wanted to buy luxury yachts. They were signature items for the ultra-high net worth people. For two presentable luxury yachts, it would cost at least 20 million yuan.
He was secretly glad that Ling Yun didn’t ask for a private jet. Looking at the situation, however, he soon might.
“And the other?” Tang Meng was worried that Ling Yun was actually going to purchase a private jet. That would be a major hole across his wallet.
“You see this mansion? Get me 18 cleaners, I want this mansion cleaned twice a week. Oh, include Mansion Number Nine and Nancui Gardens.”
“That’s simple, we can just find a household management company and get the work done,” said Tang Meng confidently.
“Also, the cars I brought back are not all for you. After you swap the license plates, give one to Lin Menghan, one to Yao Rou, and one to…” Ling Yun almost blurted Kong Xiuru’s name but ultimately decided that it was inappropriate and swallowed his words.
The label of a student-teacher relations.h.i.+p was the least of Ling Yun’s concerns, but for Kong Xiuru, Ling Yun had to proceed slowly because she would be one to mind.
“Understood!” Tang Meng replied crisply.
After a.s.signing the tasks, Ling Yun finally brought up the main topic. “How’s the preparation going for the opening of the clinic tomorrow?”
“Rest a.s.sured, Big Brother Yun! I have already made the necessary arrangements. All is good!” Tang Meng laughed.
“Make it low-key!” Ling Yun furrowed his eyebrows and asked again, “Have you hired the nurses already?”
“I did, three of them, all of them beauties…” Tang Meng gave Ling Yun a flirtatious wink.
“Tsk, it’s no beauty pageant, there’s no point having so many beauties. The main criterion is experience. They should be able to perform basic cleaning and handling of wounds,” Ling Yun said casually.
“Alright, go on with your stuff, I’ll be going upstairs.”
Ling Yun rose. His Nine Needles of the Spiritual Pivot was still a work in progress. The set of acupuncture techniques had superlative effects and were indeed a pain to record due to the complexities of the techniques.
“Erm… Big Brother Yun, what about the 500 million yuan?” Tang Meng grabbed Ling Yun’s elbows and asked anxiously.
“Rest a.s.sured, that 500 million can’t go anywhere else. It’s ours!” Ling Yun beamed.
As Ling Yun went up the stairs, he heard the phone conversation between Tie Xiaohu and Tang Meng. “I’m here at Big Brother Yun’s place, get your a** over now!”
Upstairs, Ling Yun spent another hour to finally finish writing all the acupuncture techniques of the Nine Needles of the Spiritual Pivot. He then started editing the Meridian Acupuncture Maps that Tang Meng brought.
Ling Yun was an expert in the field, and the maps were nothing more than child’s play to him. With a few dots and dashes, he pointed out many new acupuncture points on the map and annotated their basic functions at the side.
Afterwards, except for the Twelve Princ.i.p.al Meridians and the governor and conception vessels, Ling Yun drew out the entirety of the other six meridians in the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, with lucid annotations and unmatched precision.
The other six meridians were, respectively, the Penetrating Meridian, Belt Meridian, Yin Regulating Meridian, Yang Regulating Meridian, Yin Heel Meridian, and Yang Heel Meridian.
The meridian of Ling Yun’s that had initially been handicapped was the Yang Heel Meridian, but that had been completely healed by him.
With everything settled, Ling Yun was deeply satisfied. Admiring his work, he nodded and smiled. Hmm, now this is a proper Meridian Acupuncture Map!
As it was nearing eleven in the morning, Ling Yun knew that Tie Xiaohu had arrived long ago. Sat on the couch in the living room was Tie Xiaohu, who was smoking to ease his downcast mood. Instead of rus.h.i.+ng to comfort him, Ling Yun sat back down.
Ling Yun soon penned down two more sets of skills suitable for Tie Xiaohu’s physical attributes, the Raging Waves Internal Skill and Dragon Elephant Divine Force. Both of them were potent skills that cultivated both Internal Energy and Life Energy.
Tie Xiaohu already possessed strength at Houtian Realm Level Four, so it was time to impart Internal Skills to him.
At the young age of eighteen, Tie Xiaohu was already 193 cm tall and built like a black iron paG.o.da. His towering figure and his unrivaled strength made him the perfect person to learn those two sets of skills.
Raging Waves Internal Skill specifically cultivated the spiritual energy so much that, once cast, the spiritual energy within the meridians and the energy would be boundless, akin to a raging tsunami.
Dragon Elephant Divine Force, on the other hand, cultivated combat explosiveness. Once mastered, casting it would increase the combat power of the caster tenfold. His combat power would be immeasurably strong, given his Herculean physical strength and his mastery of the Stellar Condensation Technique.
The clock had struck twelve by the time Ling Yun finished writing the two skills and was walking downstairs.
“Big Brother Yun…”
“Big Brother Yun…”
Seeing that Ling Yun was coming down, Tang Meng and Tie Xiaohu stood up immediately.
In the blink of an eye, Ling Yun appeared in front of Tie Xiaohu and extended his arms. “Here!”
“From today onwards, I will be teaching you martial arts!” Ling Yun said with a smile!
“For real? Thank you, Big Brother Yun!” Tie Xiaohu’s hands were trembling with excitement. He was on cloud nine, instantly forgetting all the sorrows of losing the sum of money.
“I redrew this Human Acupuncture Map. Remember it by heart and try to memorize both sets of skills as soon as possible. We will begin training this afternoon!”
Tie Xiaohu was exuberant. He held back his s...o...b..r and looked at Tang Meng with a straight grin, both envy and sorrow in his heart.
“But, before that, let’s go for lunch first,” Ling Yun continued with a smile.
