Chapter 19: Alone with Mr. Ye, a Good Opportunity

“Father, you’ve already taken the Rejuvenation Pill. Compared to it, the Medicine family’s divine medicine is insignificant. Is there really a need to purchase their divine medicine?”

Hearing Zhao Qingzhi’s words, Zhao Wuji looked at him in confusion.

“Due to Kunlun’s long closure, most of its former items have been depleted. Mr. Ye needs to replenish them for the newly recruited members to exchange after Kunlun’s reopening. Items like pills require spiritual herbs to be refined anew. With Mr. Ye’s status, he naturally wouldn’t personally collect these spiritual herbs. Therefore, he issued a long-term task within Kunlun to gather spiritual herbs. For every spiritual herb that meets Kunlun’s standards, a point reward is given.

“The Medicine family’s divine medicine, capable of extending my life when I was on the brink of death, must be a spiritual herb of that level. Buying it and submitting it to Kunlun for points is definitely a worthwhile deal. And who knows, we might not even need to buy it. The Medicine family might willingly offer their divine medicine to me—perhaps even more than one. Don’t forget, I have the authority to recommend others to join Kunlun. The current head of the Medicine family is highly capable and likely possesses a Wisdom Root.

“As long as I use the prospect of recommending him to join Kunlun as leverage, I can demand as many spiritual herbs as the Medicine family has accumulated over thousands of years.” Zhao Qingzhi looked at Zhao Wuji and said solemnly.

“Father, recommending the head of the Medicine family to join Kunlun—wouldn’t that be aiding a potential rival? Of course, I’m not saying you shouldn’t recommend anyone to join Kunlun, but I feel you’re moving a bit too quickly. Even if you want to recommend someone, shouldn’t you wait until you’ve solidified your position in Kunlun first?” Zhao Wuji cautioned Zhao Qingzhi.

“Solidify my position before recommending others? Wuji, you’re still too focused on the present. Do you think that after Mr. Ye invited me to join Kunlun, he wouldn’t invite others? Do you believe Kunlun won’t have new members without my recommendations? Instead of waiting for Mr. Ye to personally invite others or for those he invites to recommend others first, I’d rather take the initiative.

“The first person to eat the crab gets the most benefits. The same applies to recommending others to join Kunlun. First, recommending others shows Mr. Ye my dedication to recruiting talent for Kunlun. Second, recommending others earns Kunlun points as a reward. Third, recommending others allows me to gain certain benefits from them.

“It’s a win-win-win situation. Why wouldn’t I recommend others? Moreover, ever since Mr. Ye enlightened me, I, Zhao Qingzhi, have never lost. I’m confident I’m not inferior to anyone. Even if I recommend others to join Kunlun, I’m certain I can keep them in check. And don’t forget, besides me, our Zhao family also has Ling’er in Kunlun.

“Especially since Ling’er is by Mr. Ye’s side—what a significant connection. As long as Ling’er is there, no matter how many people join Kunlun, our Zhao family will always have a place. You don’t need to worry about our family losing influence as Kunlun grows.”

Zhao Qingzhi looked at Zhao Wuji, smiling and shaking his head.

“I was short-sighted.” Hearing Zhao Qingzhi’s response, Zhao Wuji immediately bowed his head in acknowledgment of his mistake.

“Alright, go contact the Medicine family. And the rest of you, go rest. I need some time alone to get accustomed to this sudden surge in strength. Oh, and except for those present, don’t reveal anything about Kunlun.

“At the very least, until Mr. Ye explicitly reveals himself to the world, don’t leak this information. Otherwise, if the world learns of an organization as mythical as Kunlun, who knows what chaos might ensue.” Zhao Qingzhi addressed Zhao Wuji and the other Zhao family members in the room.

“Yes.”

Hearing Zhao Qingzhi’s words, Zhao Wuji and the others nodded respectfully. They then left Zhao Qingzhi’s room in an orderly manner.

After Zhao Wuji and the others departed, Zhao Qingzhi got off the hospital bed and began moving in an open space, starting to master his newfound strength.

…

Meanwhile, elsewhere.

Ye Yang was sitting in a car driven by Zhao Ling’er, heading toward a mountaintop villa owned by the Zhao family on Tianhai’s East Mountain.

Regarding his residence, Ye Yang hadn’t made any specific requests, only instructing Zhao Ling’er to choose a suitable place. Self-initiated effort yields the best results. If Ye Yang made demands himself, it would not only lower his prestige but might also result in an unsatisfactory choice.

By letting Zhao Ling’er decide, it was different. To please Ye Yang, Zhao Ling’er would undoubtedly select the best residence the Zhao family had to offer.

…

Over half an hour later, Zhao Ling’er brought Ye Yang to the villa on East Mountain. Even Ye Yang, upon seeing it, couldn’t help but acknowledge that the Zhao family, known as the overlords of Tianhai, lived up to their reputation. The entire peak of East Mountain was occupied by a single villa. The villa itself covered at least 20,000 square meters, not including the pool, garden, and other amenities.

“Mr. Ye, although this villa’s location is a bit remote, it is undoubtedly the best residence our Zhao family currently has. Even the Zhao family’s ancient mansion in the center of Tianhai can’t compare to it. This villa was built to serve as the new ancestral home for our Zhao family after we ascend to the status of a top-tier clan, designed to house the entire Zhao family. Are you satisfied with it, Mr. Ye? If you’re not, there’s a slightly more refined residence in the city center, but it’s only about one-tenth the size of this East Mountain villa.”

After arriving at the East Mountain villa and introducing its background, Zhao Ling’er softly asked Ye Yang if he was satisfied.

“It’s decent. This will do. No need to change.” Ye Yang looked at Zhao Ling’er and said calmly.

“I’m glad you’re satisfied,” Zhao Ling’er nodded, seeing Ye Yang’s approval. “By the way, Mr. Ye, what are your requirements for servants? On the way here, I’ve already dismissed the servants at the East Mountain villa. Once you specify your needs, I’ll have my grandfather select servants to come serve you.” Zhao Ling’er suddenly asked Ye Yang.

“I prefer peace and quiet, so no servants are necessary.”

Ye Yang shook his head at Zhao Ling’er.

In the future, as he cultivated the Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Record, countless beautiful women with special constitutions would come to this villa. In Ye Yang’s view, they were more than enough to serve him, and there was no need for additional servants. After all, servants were outsiders, and having too many outsiders around would inevitably be inconvenient. Without outsiders, Ye Yang could cultivate the Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Record whenever he wished.

“Yes.” Hearing Ye Yang’s words, Zhao Ling’er immediately nodded.

“Fortunately, the villa is equipped with the most advanced smart technology. Even without servants, cleaning and maintenance can be easily handled. For Mr. Ye’s daily needs, I’ll personally take care of them. Without servants, it’s just me and Mr. Ye—this is actually a good thing. It’ll increase my standing in Mr. Ye’s eyes.” Zhao Ling’er thought to herself.
