CHAPTER 758: CHAPTER 382: THE JOURNEY IS IMMINENT_2

Lin Beichen didn’t know about the internal meeting of the Xu Family, and even if he did, he wouldn’t care.

As the trip to Xiang Island drew nearer, Lin Beichen temporarily focused on the unfinished matters at hand.

Although he had been busy with the array at Mingzhu Port lately, he still had to pay attention to things at school.

The laboratory at Huadu University was almost ready.

While Lin Beichen was occupied with the array, the lab had already started a trial run.

Ruan Yunyun, as Lin Beichen’s capable assistant, worked almost around the clock, and in less than a month, she seemed to have lost a few pounds.

If this goes on, even if Ruan Yunyun were made of iron, she wouldn’t be able to hold on. Fortunately, Lin Beichen was not an uncaring boss. Knowing her hard work, he specially left her a few bottles of elixir.

If Ruan Yunyun knew the value of these elixirs, she would probably cry tears of joy.

Any one of these elixirs would be worth a hundred, even a thousand times more than all her possessions combined.

In her lifetime, she might not be able to repay the value of one elixir, yet Lin Beichen gave her more than a dozen bottles.

Ruan Yunyun accepted them all with a silly smile, thinking they were just candy pills.

However, Ruan Yunyun didn’t know that if those elixirs were sold on the black market, she could instantly become a super-rich woman with a net worth of over fifty billion, even if sold at a hundred million each.

After solving the lab issues, Lin Beichen made time to meet Bai Yunfei.

The Bai Family people were worried that after the Zhang Family affair, the Huadu Clan would look down on them.

Bai Yunfei tried to explain several times. Though they agreed on the surface, they were still uneasy.

But when Lin Beichen arrived, it only took a few words to put everyone at ease.

"It’s merely the destruction of the Zhang Family. Don’t be fooled by their grand stance; after all, they’re just a real estate family."

"Twenty years ago, such talents were indeed scarce since cities were in ruins and infrastructure was incomplete, needing development everywhere. But what era is it now?"

"Now is the era of real estate surplus. Although the Zhang Family seems wealthy and well-staffed, they don’t have solid technical foundations, only holding vast wealth."

This kind of family can exist or not, it doesn’t make much difference. Wealth doesn’t vanish into thin air. I’ve merely destroyed the Zhang Family, but their resources are still circulating in the market."

"The Huadu Clan may not show it on the surface, but they’re probably laughing secretly."

Lin Beichen said with a light smile.

Seeing Lin Beichen’s amusing words, everyone couldn’t help but laugh.

The last thing Lin Beichen said deeply resonated with them.

After the Zhang Family’s fall, their resources quickly circulated in the market and were auctioned off in large quantities.

The Bai Family naturally took the biggest share, but even other families, taking smaller portions, still gained significantly.

Moreover, the Zhang Family hoarded many undeveloped plots, inflating their value without generating any actual value, benefiting only themselves.

Now with the Zhang Family gone, several problematic commercial plots in Huadu were quickly put up for development, and in just a month, dozens of construction plans emerged.

With Lin Beichen as a strong backer and their own riches growing, everyone finally felt at ease, ready to work alongside Bai Yunfei.

Watching Lin Beichen’s faint smile, Bai Yunfei smiled wryly.

He sent his family away, closed the door, and personally poured Lin Beichen a cup of hot tea.

"Lin Beichen, how’s the progress on the Life Spirit Liquid?"

Bai Yunfei asked seriously.

Though there was no rush on the Life Spirit Liquid matter, Bai Yunfei knew that besides having Lin Beichen as a backer, there was another reason he quickly gained official recognition.

The officials couldn’t overtly express it but needed the Life Spirit Liquid as soon as possible.

Since the International Gene Conference, the Life Spirit Liquid had already made a name for itself worldwide.

Countries were racing to develop it, and Lin Beichen, as the project’s improver and the only current developer, needed to seize the advantageous opportunity.

After all, Lin Beichen wasn’t the only one researching the Life Spirit Liquid.

Three days ago, the first developer of the Life Spirit Liquid accepted a media interview, accusing Lin Beichen of plagiarism and theft, demanding he hand over the second-generation formula or face international court.

To Bai Yunfei’s concern, Lin Beichen reassured him.

Despite the perceived scarcity of Life Spirit Liquid, Lin Beichen merely diluted the elixir a hundred, even a thousand times when making it.

Outsiders exaggerated the technique, making it sound mystifyingly complex.

Some academic frauds held investment conferences, coining various scientific terms to deceive investors.

Unrelated investors, listening to those high-end terms, were easily swayed.

However, once they invested, they found the promising claims led to no tangible results.

Academic fraud related to Life Spirit Liquid had spread worldwide.

Naturally, some sought to buy Lin Beichen’s technology but deemed their funds insufficient.

Rumors had elevated the tech to humanity’s pinnacle.

Little did they know, the technique was as simple as making tea.

Once the array was complete, the so-called Life Spirit Liquid in the market needn’t be limited at all.

It’s no exaggeration.

Even a single Spirit Grass, if used merely to rinse a cup, had effects ten times that of the second-generation Life Spirit Liquid.

Even weeds grown in the array could supply the second-generation Life Spirit Liquid.

While the Life Spirit Liquid was a hot topic externally, to Lin Beichen, it was no better than foot wash.

Lin Beichen, having opened the Celestial Gate and mastered the Life Spirit Liquid’s development, and even the breakthrough of the Mystic Sect.

In many people’s eyes, Lin Beichen was no longer the young upstart but a giant who could easily shake the world.

Lin Beichen entrusted Bai Yunfei with a few matters before leaving.

Next, Lin Beichen sought out Luo Meixiang.

Upon hearing Lin Beichen’s plan to visit Xiang Island, Luo Meixiang immediately showed reluctance.

Clearly, she wished to go too, but during the holidays, she had to invest in several industries as her father requested.

Brought up as the heir, holidays for Luo Meixiang were not for relaxation but for family business dealings.

Lin Beichen couldn’t do anything about it.

Luo Meixiang’s persistence was a good thing, and anyway, on this trip to Xiang Island, Lin Beichen had no time to play.

Debt collection was never an easy task.

"Is there anything you want? I can bring it for you."

Lin Beichen said, taking out a small, delicate gift package.

On a long journey, he wouldn’t leave without preparing gifts.

Lin Beichen specially refined a few elixirs to enhance beauty and change physique using the spiritual soil from Mingzhu Port’s array.

In the past, he wouldn’t have dreamt of using such precious materials to make elixirs.

But now, with the array successfully nearing completion, using a little of it wasn’t a big deal.

"Since it’s from you, I won’t hold back."

Luo Meixiang accepted it with a giggle, then reluctantly sent Lin Beichen to the door.

"No messing around once you’re on Xiang Island, and don’t get involved with other girls. If I find out, you’re dead."

"You little girl, aren’t you being too strict? If you have your way, when will I ever get a girlfriend?"

Lin Beichen said with a laugh.

Luo Meixiang bit her lip slightly, clearly wanting to say something but unable to muster the courage, silently watching Lin Beichen leave.

After resolving various trivial matters, only two days remained.

With the holiday approaching, the dorms were abuzz with excitement, everyone eagerly counting down to the break.
