Chapter 391: Chapter 391: The Cultural Foundation of Zhou Shi Clan

The next day, Lin Dong asked for leave from the hospital.

He and Zhou Tianming headed for the Zhou Shi Clan.

Shen Yun also rushed over. He had always been following Lin Dong around, precisely to gain favor from him.

Today, he even went out of his way to be Lin Dong’s driver.

Looking at Jianghai’s richest man, Shen Yun, who was driving for Lin Dong, Zhou Tianming was somewhat baffled.

"Although Mr. Lin Dong has superb Medical Arts, and is a capable person, worth getting to know, does it really necessitate Shen Yun acting so humbly?"

He thought about it for a long time but couldn’t figure it out.

The group’s car headed towards Meiling Village.

Meiling Village, on the outskirts of Jianghai City.

Despite not being part of the downtown area, the level of prosperity in this region is high.

It’s not far from downtown and occupies an advantageous geographical position.

Moreover, the scenery is also rather nice, with many undeveloped natural landscapes.

As for the surrounding area, most of the houses built are luxury villas.

Of course, there are also high-rise buildings, but those high-rises are office buildings,

not residential ones!

After arriving here, Lin Dong observed his surroundings.

He noticed that in many places, there were Traditional Medicine Cultivation Bases.

And those high-rises were also Medical Companies.

Lin Dong couldn’t help but remark, "Mr. Zhou, your Zhou Shi Clan is really doing things vigorously."

"If we talk about money and influence in the Medical and Pharmaceutical field, even the Ye Family, Jianghai’s foremost wealthy family, might not compare to you."

Zhou Tianming also felt somewhat proud and laughingly said, "Of course, Mr. Lin Dong, our Zhou Shi Clan is nationally renowned in the medical field."

"Moreover, our Zhou Shi Clan has always been united. It’s precisely because of this unity that we have come this far today."

Lin Dong nodded, feeling that if a large clan wanted to endure and prosper, it should indeed learn from the unity shown by the Zhou Shi Clan.

If people within a large clan are always envious of each other, plotting against each other, selfish, and self-serving, then that clan won’t go far.

The car quickly arrived at the current head of the Zhou Shi Clan, Master Zhou’s house.

This place is also where the Zhou Family’s Ancestral Hall is located.

Actually, Master Zhou’s real name isn’t Master Zhou.

Rather, after being elected as the Clan Chief by generations of the Zhou Family, everyone would respectfully address him as Master Zhou.

When the car stopped in the parking lot, Lin Dong saw that many cars were parked nearby.

Zhou Tianming also looked at those cars and frowned, murmuring, "My second brother has come back today too..."

He saw his second brother, Zhou Tianzheng’s exclusive car.

After their car stopped, a few people hurried over to the door of the Zhou Family Courtyard.

These individuals were the Zhou Family’s servants.

"Third Master, you’re back too? Today, the Second Master also came home and brought an honored guest with him,"

the servants greeted them with smiling faces, saying.

"Oh? Who is the honored guest my second brother brought back?" Zhou Tianming asked.

"It’s Young Master Lin Tiance from the Lin Family of the Capital City! Young Master Lin Tiance even brought a renowned doctor from the Capital City to treat the old master,"

he was told.

Upon hearing the name Lin Tiance, Lin Dong, Zhou Tianming, and Shen Yun all had a slight change in their expressions.

Zhou Tianming changed his expression upon hearing Lin Tiance’s name because the Jade Pendant that had caused him a Blood Disaster was gifted to him by Lin Tiance. Why was he now together with his second brother?

As for Lin Dong, this confirmed his thoughts. Lin Tiance had come from the Southern Capital to Jianghai, and his purpose truly was for the Zhou Family’s Three Strains of Heavenly Earth Treasures.

Luckily, he probably hadn’t succeeded yet.

Shen Yun, on the other hand, was amazed that Lin Tiance from the Capital City had appeared in Jianghai. Lin Tiance was a Tianjiao, a proud Son of heaven throughout the entire Dragon Country.

In front of such individuals, his status as Jianghai’s richest man was hardly worth mentioning.

"Let’s go."

Zhou Tianming’s expression also grew more solemn as he led Lin Dong and Shen Yun into the Zhou Family Courtyard.

The Zhou Family Courtyard had a history of several hundred years and was built with the grandeur of a royal Duan Wang Mansion.

Inside, the architecture boasted intricately carved rafters and painted columns, with high red walls surrounding the premises.

Additionally, there were small bridges over running water and garden rockeries.

From the main gate of the courtyard, leading to the main hall of the main building was a stone slab path.

This seemingly quaint stone slab path was in fact priceless.

Embedded within those stone slabs were pieces of jade stone.

The stone slab path required one to walk nine hundred and ninety-nine steps, and those jade stones were embedded in exactly nine hundred and ninety-nine pieces.

Each piece of jade stone was of premium grade, thus one can only imagine their value.

When Shen Yun saw this path beneath his feet, he couldn’t stop exclaiming,

"Mr. Zhou, your Zhou Family’s cultural foundation is indeed profound. I had long heard about this Ascension Path, and seeing it today, truly opens my eyes."

Hearing this, Zhou Tianming chuckled proudly,

This was the cultural foundation of their Zhou Family.

Even Jianghai’s wealthiest man had to admit feeling inferior before the Zhou Family’s cultural foundation.

"Mr. Lin Dong, please!"

Zhou Tianming made a gesture of invitation to Lin Dong, inviting him to walk their Zhou Family’s ’Ascension Path’.

Legend has it that when this ’Ascension Path’ of the Zhou Family was built, a total of one thousand jade stones were actually buried underneath,

Yet, people could only see nine hundred and ninety-nine pieces of jade stone.

The last jade stone was within the stone steps beneath the main hall.

There’s a legend about this, although no one knows if it’s true.

It was said that, in ancient times, a prince came to Jianghai and stayed with the Zhou Family.

When he walked this path, with his final step on the ’stone steps,’ a dazzling light from the jade stone shone forth,

revealing the hidden jade stone within the stone steps!

Because of this, later generations came to know that a piece of jade stone was hidden within the ’stone steps’.

And so, the road came to be known as the ’Ascension Path’ because that prince later surpassed his brothers and successfully ascended to the throne, becoming the emperor.

Therefore,

The ’ascension’ here refers to an actual ’ascension’!

While walking this path, Zhou Tianming also recounted this tale to Lin Dong as a story,

Even he, a member of the Zhou Family, didn’t believe it.

He thought it definitely must be fictitious, for how could such miraculous things happen?

That a jade stone could recognize a person and emit light?
