Everything was ready except for the most important thing!
The most important thing here was the sound of the Ling Family's Ancient Martial Arts Auction and the treasures that were to be auctioned.
In other words, they were waiting for Ling Yun's return. The treasures that he had obtained through various means were all stored in his Great Void Ring.
"Originally, I thought that you would be able to settle the matter with the He Family before your father's birthday and return home early. That was why I waited patiently.
"Who knew that you would actually do two things at the same time and go matchmaking Miracle Doctor Xue and Senior Miao."
As a Confucian scholar, Ling Yue paid great attention to Confucian etiquette. Even though Miracle Doctor Xue and his wife weren't around and he hadn't met Miao Fenghuang before, he still wouldn't call her by her name. Instead, he would address her as Senior.
"Hai!"
Ling Yun could only smile bitterly and shake his head. He explained to Ling Yue, "I had no choice, Uncle. I promised to resolve the Gu worm in Grandpa Xue's body the first time I met him. It has been half a year since then. Now that the time has come, I would feel guilty if I don't resolve it now."
"Yun Er, Uncle doesn't blame you. You did the right thing."
Ling Yue smiled. "Miracle Doctor Xue has the title of Miracle Doctor in Huaxia. Before you rose to prominence, he had already been famous in the upper circles of Huaxia for many years. He was widely praised and recognized. Therefore, even though he has lived in seclusion for many years, his position is still respected."
"Furthermore, Miracle Doctor Xue did many things for you when you started your family in Qingshui City. Coupled with your relationship with Ning Er, the Ling Family and the Xue Family are considered in-laws. Resolving his matter is equivalent to resolving your own matter. Now that the time has come, how can you not go?"
Ling Yue poured a cup of tea and took a sip. His gaze then drifted to the pile of spiritual tea leaves at the side. "Since you can bring back these tea leaves from Miaojiang, it seems like your trip to Miaojiang has been very successful, right?"
"It was indeed very successful."
Hearing Ling Yue's question, Ling Yun smiled and briefly recounted his journey in Miaojiang to his uncle. Ling Yue nodded his head in approval.
"Spiritual fields, spiritual tea, spiritual fruits, spiritual vegetables … and spiritual herbs …"
Ling Yue placed his right hand on the table and gently knocked on it. He muttered, "In addition to the three people who have mastered the Supreme Azure Emperor Technique … Yun Er, you've really spent quite a lot this time!"
From this sentence, Ling Yun knew that Ling Yue was thinking the same thing as him.
"At present, it can only be regarded as a few experimental fields. It is still too early to truly cover the mountains and plains and plant them on a large scale."
Ling Yun smiled and said, "However, if these five spiritual fields are used properly, the spiritual plants that they grow will be enough for our family's Ancient Martial Arts Auction."
"Yes, these planted spiritual objects can indeed be a big item for our auction in the future. The good thing about them is that they are all food and drink. Furthermore, there is enough of them and an endless supply. As long as those ancient martial arts sects or hidden clans buy them and eat them, they will be reluctant to part with them and will chase after them like a flock of ducks. We will definitely not have to worry about not being able to sell them."
This analysis was really on point.
However, Ling Yun smiled and said, "Selling them is only secondary. In the future, when these spiritual objects are transported out of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, we have to ensure that the cultivators of the Ling Family can enjoy them first. We will only bring the leftovers to the auction house to sell to them if we can't finish them."
No matter what benefits there were, they had to ensure that their own people could enjoy them first. This was Ling Yun's principle.
After hearing this, Ling Yue was moved and said excitedly, "Looks like our Ling Family will soon have a qualitative leap and will be able to reach a very big stage!"
Such a big family, eating spiritual fruits and vegetables every day, drinking spiritual tea, and having all kinds of spiritual herbs to nourish their bodies. How heaven-defying was that?!
This kind of cultivation treatment was comparable to that of a true disciple of a mid-level cultivation sect in the Cultivation World.
Thinking about this,
"Yun Er, you have put in so much effort. What exactly do you plan to turn the Ling Family into?!"
Even with Ling Yue's imagination, he could no longer imagine the future of the Ling Family.
Ling Yun avoided this question because even if he described it, Ling Yue still wouldn't be able to imagine it.
Ling Yun smiled and said, "Uncle, you just have to take it one step at a time. You will definitely be able to see it.
"As for the other auction items, such as elixirs, talismans, magical weapons, and all kinds of special cultivation resources, I have as many of them as I want. If I put them up for sale at the auction, the cultivators of the ancient martial arts world will definitely fight to the death for them.
"We just have to control the number of auction items every time we hold an auction."
The corners of Ling Yue's eyes and lips twitched as he listened. He thought to himself that the Long Family and the Ye Family's auctions would be held every three to five months or even more than half a year. They would only be able to hold a decent auction after plundering for a long time. Furthermore, there would only be three to five items that could attract the attention of those top powers or super experts. That would already be considered a success.
However, what was this kid saying so nonchalantly? They had to control the number of auction items every time they held an auction!
Just how many treasures had this fellow plundered from the outside for him to have such confidence?!
"Good lad!"
After a moment of shock, Ling Yue couldn't help but nod his head angrily. "What a good lad. I'm not convinced by anything but you!"
Ling Yue really didn't know how to comment on this. He shook his head forcefully to get rid of all these distracting thoughts and asked, "What about the opening and finale items? What do you plan to auction? "
Ling Yun smiled leisurely. "I'll use the Beauty Pill and Beauty Pill as the opening. As for the finale … I'll just use an ordinary spatial ring."
Even though Ling Yue had already expected this, he was still shocked after hearing it. "Yun Er, this is only our first auction. Are you really planning to use such a heaven-defying treasure as an auction item?"
"Uncle, our Ling Family needs to expand and we don't have time to waste. If our auction house wants to surpass the Long Family and the Ye Family, we have to do this. This is the only way to attract everyone's attention and make them unwilling to miss out on our auction!"
I have what others don't, I have what others don't!
This was the best way to run an auction house and earn huge profits at the same time.
"Furthermore, on the day of the auction, I'll be there personally. I won't have to worry about anyone having designs on our Ling Family!"
Ling Yun said the last sentence in a domineering manner to reassure Ling Yue!
"Good, good, good!"
Ling Yue stood up excitedly and nodded his head. "Then we'll do as you say. This way, I'll have a plan!"
"So, when will we announce this?"
Ling Yun's eyes narrowed. "Tomorrow, when all the big shots are here. That'll be the best time!"
The uncle and nephew looked at each other and smiled. There was no need to say anything more. They had already thought of the same thing.
"Whoosh!"
At this moment, a black shadow suddenly flew over and appeared at the entrance of Ling Yue's courtyard. It was Cui Lao.
"Master, Second Master."
Cui Lao landed silently and immediately greeted Ling Yun and Ling Yue.
"Cui Lao, there's no one else in my courtyard. You can come in directly."
Ling Yue smiled as he invited Cui Lao into the courtyard. Then, he observed Cui Lao for a long time before cupping his fists and saying sincerely, "Congratulations, Cui Lao. You've regained your youth and lived another life!"
"Heh, I thank Second Master. It's all because of Master's compassion that I can have this opportunity."
Cui Lao's expression was slightly awkward, but he couldn't hide his gratitude. He could no longer use words to describe the miracle that Ling Yun had created.
"Cui Lao, why are you here?" Ling Yun asked with a smile.
"Master, you sent Ling Yi and Ling Qi to monitor the seventy-two disciples, but they haven't sent any news back yet. I'm worried that they might really cause trouble and affect Third Master's mood for tomorrow's birthday. That's why I wanted to go out and take a look. I'm here to report to you."
Ling Yun's first reaction was to say that there was no need. However, he nodded his head after some thought. "That's fine too!"
"However, if it's not necessary, it's best that you don't interfere with them. Tonight, I'm going to give them a concentrated assessment. The results aren't important. What I want is their performance."
Ling Yun pointed out the crux of the matter.
"Master, I understand," Cui Lao said solemnly.
"Alright, I'll have to trouble Cui Lao tonight."
Cui Lao's face flushed red. He waved his hands violently and said to Ling Yun, "Young Master, you don't have to be so courteous to me. I … I really can't take it anymore, really …"
Ling Yun had no choice but to wave his hands. "Alright, you can go now."
Cui Lao felt a little more at ease. He bowed to the two of them and retreated out of the courtyard before flying out of the Ling Family.
"Yun Er, there's nothing wrong with your arrangement of this assessment. It's just that the questions you came up with tonight are a little too difficult."
Ling Yue returned to the table and sat down. Shaking his head, he said, "Let's put it this way. If it's my birthday, regardless of whether it's good or bad, as long as those kids bring back any one of these things, I'll like it and approve of it."
"But …"
Ling Yue pointed to Ling Xiao's courtyard. "Other than cultivation, what other hobbies does your father have? Not to mention others, even I can't name a few specific things. Aren't you making things difficult for those kids? "
"Hehe …"
Ling Yun chuckled. "Uncle, this question is indeed quite difficult! However, if these guys are smart enough, they should be able to guess what my father, or I, wants. "
Ling Yue's breathing stopped!
What did his third brother, the one who no longer cared about worldly affairs and seemed to have no desires, want in his heart?!
To wash away the humiliation and restore his reputation!
To let Beijing, Huaxia, and those who mocked or even completely ignored the name "Ling Xiao" remember this name in their hearts!
To let Ling Xiao shine as brightly as he did twenty years ago, not only in the Ling Family, but also in the hearts of those who knew about him!
Of course, perhaps Ling Xiao didn't care about all of this anymore.
However, his son, Ling Yun, was very particular about this. He cared a lot about it!
Tomorrow was Ling Xiao's birthday, and it was also the day of his rebirth!
Ling Yun wanted to take back everything that his father had lost!
