In two weeks, Li Yang could reach the Celestial Level.

’Wouldn’t the benefits be even greater if I joined the Celestial Origin Palace then?’

’I’ll stop thinking about it. The matter of the Celestial Origin Palace can wait two weeks. Even if I don’t join, I can still afford two units of the Anticancer Agent right now!’

Li Yang pushed the thought aside. He glanced at his bank account, and a brilliant smile spread across his face.

"Three hundred and forty million!"

With the one hundred and forty million already in his account, plus the two hundred million from Shao Jie, his funds had reached this staggering total!

Barring any surprises, this amount should be more than enough to buy two units of the Anticancer Agent.

The last time two units of the Anticancer Agent were available, their combined price was only two hundred and fifty million. Li Yang had almost a hundred million more than that!

’I should call Mom and Dad and tell them.’ Overjoyed, Li Yang decided to call his parents.

With news this good, he decided against surprising them. He knew that telling them directly would bring them even more joy.

...

In a hospital in Hu City, Li Guohai and Zhao Rou were chatting, both in visibly high spirits.

"Yangyang can finally buy the Anticancer Agent tomorrow. With one hundred and forty million, he can definitely get one unit."

Li Guohai was overjoyed. ’I may be useless and unable to give Zhao Rou much,’ he thought, ’but our son is so capable.’

As long as Zhao Rou was cured, he didn’t care whether he received treatment himself.

"Brother Hai, it’s a call from Yangyang. He must be getting ready to leave," Zhao Rou said with a smile, looking at the incoming call from Li Yang on her phone.

"Yangyang, have you left Coastal City yet?" Zhao Rou accepted the video call, and she and Li Guohai watched as Li Yang appeared on the screen.

"Not yet."

Li Yang appeared on camera, his face wreathed in smiles. "Dad, Mom, I have some great news for you."

"Yangyang, what is it? What’s the great news?" Li Guohai asked with a smile.

Li Yang quickly recounted what had happened. "Dad, Mom, I was at the beach earlier and ran into someone... They spent two hundred million to buy that mutated giant lobster, so now I have a total of three hundred and forty million!"

A huge smile lit up Li Yang’s face. "So, Dad, Mom, there’s a very good chance I can buy two units of the Anticancer Agent tomorrow. That means both of you can get better."

He knew what his parents were going through, so he didn’t keep it a secret for a moment, wanting to make them happy.

"Three hundred and forty million..."

Hearing Li Yang’s words, both Li Guohai and Zhao Rou were stunned by the tremendous news.

Then, their faces broke out in expressions of immense excitement.

"Brother Hai."

This was especially true for Zhao Rou. Even if she was cured, Li Guohai would still be lying in a hospital bed.

But now, there was hope for both of them to recover!

Li Yang hadn’t gone into detail over the phone, but when he said he had met someone, Li Guohai and Zhao Rou guessed it was a Cultivator.

...

After explaining the situation to his parents, Li Yang boarded a plane to Jing City that afternoon. By evening, he had arrived at his destination.

He found a hotel to stay in and immediately began to cultivate.

The night passed quickly.

Early the next morning, Li Yang walked out of the hotel. Although it was summer, the morning air was still refreshingly cool.

"A new day begins!"

A slight smile touched Li Yang’s lips as he looked at the rising sun.

He got in a car and headed straight for his destination.

The Anticancer Agent was sold by the Hua Country Wish Medical Foundation, with the proceeds being used for medical charities and other related causes.

No matter how the Anticancer Agent was distributed, someone was bound to be dissatisfied. Thus, it was sold for money, and the foundation used the proceeds for charity. This way, no one could complain about it being unfair.

"Xiaoyang."

When he arrived at the venue, Qin Shanchuan was already waiting. Seeing Li Yang, he smiled and walked over, a ticket in his hand.

"This is for you. You need a ticket to get into Xinhu Square," Qin Shanchuan said with a smile.

Li Yang took the ticket and smiled. "Thank you, Uncle Qin."

Xinhu Square was the venue for the Anticancer Agent auction. In fact, other items were being auctioned off as well, not just the Anticancer Agent.

The proceeds from all auctioned items would be used for charity.

"It’s nothing," Qin Shanchuan said with a smile. "According to the news I’ve received, no one from the major wealthy families currently has cancer, so the price for the Anticancer Agent shouldn’t be too high. Your chances of winning the auction are very good."

If a member of one of those top-tier families had cancer, they would definitely spend whatever it took to buy it. If there were several such families, they would surely compete, and the price would skyrocket.

But with no one sick, the price of the Anticancer Agent wouldn’t climb too high.

Take a top-tier family like the Zhao family, for example. Even though they are rich, if no one in their family has cancer, the Anticancer Agent is naturally useless to them.

Therefore, its price should stabilize at a little over one hundred million.

Li Yang nodded. This was definitely good news.

"Come on, let’s go inside."

The two of them walked into Xinhu Square. There were already people inside, who glanced at Qin Shanchuan and Li Yang before looking away.

"Li Yang."

Just as they entered, a clear voice called out. Not far away, Zhou Yao approached them, a smile on her face.

"Zhou Yao, you’re here too?" Li Yang asked, surprised to see her.

"Yes, I came with my aunt this time," Zhou Yao said with a smile.

In reality, she knew Li Yang would be here today to buy the Anticancer Agent, so she had pleaded with Zhou Xiaoyun to come along with her.

Nearby, Qin Shanchuan watched Li Yang and Zhou Yao and couldn’t help but sigh internally.

With his sharp eye for people, he could tell at a glance that Zhou Yao was definitely interested in Li Yang.

In terms of looks, Zhou Yao was certainly not inferior to his own daughter, Qin Yue. He had always secretly hoped that Li Yang and Qin Yue would get together.

The more he interacted with Li Yang, the more he was impressed by the young man. Never mind his calm and steady character, just look at his luck...

In such a short time, Li Yang had actually earned over a hundred million... enough to even bid for the Anticancer Agent. This was a sign of immense luck. In his opinion, Li Yang was destined for a future that was anything but ordinary.

’Sigh, Xiaoyue has always been resistant to spending time with Li Yang. If she wasn’t so reluctant and took a little more initiative to see him, wouldn’t things have worked out by now?’

In his eyes, his daughter was so exceptional and beautiful; if she just sought Li Yang out more often, things would naturally fall into place. The saying goes that when a woman pursues a man, there’s but a thin veil between them.

Unfortunately, Qin Yue just wasn’t interested. Even though he was certain that Li Yang had an extraordinary future ahead of him, he couldn’t force the two of them together.

Now, Li Yang might end up with this girl, Zhou Yao. The last time at the auction house, Zhou Yao had also been the one to approach Li Yang.

"Yaoyao."

As Zhou Yao was speaking, Zhou Xiaoyun suddenly walked over from a distance. She greeted Li Yang before turning to Zhou Yao. "Yaoyao, your second uncle is here."

"Second Uncle? What’s he doing here?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yao froze, and her expression changed.

"I don’t know." Zhou Xiaoyun shook her head helplessly, indicating she had no idea why her second-eldest brother had come.

She had only come because her niece had dragged her along. They were supposed to be the only two from the Zhou family here.

"It’s not just your Second Uncle. Some people from the Zhang and Hu families came with him," Zhou Xiaoyun said.

The Zhang and Hu families were also top-tier, wealthy families, and now they had all shown up here.
