Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now! Chapter 1446 - 433: The Proper Way to Lick the Heaven-Licking Dao

The cash is not enough.

So she intends to go out and gather funds first.

Hearing that Chu Keqing’s cash was not enough, Chen Yan initially wanted to use his own savings, but considering that he too didn’t have much cash, with most of his assets being properties near University City... the cash in his bank account was only in the tens of millions level.

So Chen Yan asked Chu Keqing to wait for a moment, and he dashed to the mountains, quickly returning with a top-grade jade stone the size of a millstone!

Upon a glance, Chu Keqing’s eyes sparkled with excitement.

This was the natural look a woman gets when she sees high-end gems and jewels.

"High quality! Such a big piece?!" Chu Keqing exclaimed.

"This item was left by the previous owner here and used as the core of a large array. Originally, the jade quality was upper grade, and after decades of essence nourishing, it’s now comparable to top grade.

And such a large piece, it should fetch a sky-high price when taken out."

Chu Keqing glanced at it and laughed heartily, "Alright, now we have the money."

She paused, walked two circles around the millstone-sized jade stone, touched it here and there, and said slowly, "Such a massive piece, if crafted into a Buddha statue by top-notch artisans, it would become a treasure to pass down through generations!

Not just for wealthy families, but even for royal dynasties, it could be a family heirloom!"

She paused and laughed, "I plan to take it out, find a master craftsman to carve it into a Buddha statue, and then see if some top tycoons in South Asia or the Thai royal family are interested in purchasing it.

The fragments knocked off during the carving can be crafted into several sets of jewelry! Then sell those to the prominent families in Port City as heirlooms."

Saying this, she closed her eyes to estimate, "If everything goes well, this piece can be sold to bring back thirty billion."

But she shook her head, "But it will take time. A master craftsman, to carve such a large Buddha statue, would require about a year of work, and that’s on the conservative side.

Once it’s completed, it needs to be exhibited to attract high society, requiring some promotion from relevant institutions.

Funds coming back will be at least a year and a half."

After Chu Keqing finished, she sighed, "Distant water cannot quench present thirst. But I’ll take this piece, and I’ll have it worked as I mentioned, and in a year and a half, thirty billion will be available.

As for the shortage we are facing this time, I..."

Chen Yan heard this and said slowly, "If not, let me make a trip. I’ll go to the United States, fetch some gold from the vault, it’ll take just a day or two."

"No need." Chu Keqing shook her head, "Although you can take wealth from anywhere in the world as you wish, I worry about the causality involved in such actions.

Having just entered the Realm-Breaking Celestial, there’s much you need to clarify and ensure no consequences before acting. This time, leave the money matters to me."

She paused and smiled, "I’ll go to Port City first, and borrow some money from the Liu Family. Last time, you extended Elder Liu’s life, they owe you a great personal favor and have always wanted to forge a bond with you.

This time, I’ll use your name to borrow a hundred million US dollars from the Liu Family, together with the sixty million US dollars in my overseas account, it should be enough.

Once this Jade Buddha Statue is completed, I’ll repay the Liu Family."

She put her hands on Chen Yan’s face and said softly, "Chen Yan, you’ll have to get used to a new way of thinking. For people like us, money is just numbers, merely tools, and it’s a tool we can have in any amount we desire.

You have to learn to use tools to achieve your goals!"

After Chu Keqing left the mountains, she arrived in Port City by the next night.

Because she had contacted in advance, the Liu Family’s butler was already at the airport waiting with bodyguards and a business car when she got off the plane.

The old butler of the Liu Family was very courteous, informing Chu Keqing: Since Mr. Liu Zhaoming had a board meeting today and couldn’t personally pick her up, he had specially instructed the butler to extend apologies to Elder Zi and that they had prepared a light reception at the Liu family mansion for her arrival.

Liu Zhaoming, the current successor of the Liu Family, truly conducted matters with the usual steadiness.

It’s just a pity that Elder Liu is no longer around.

It’s been two years since the last trip to Port City where Elder Liu’s life was extended.

Back then, only eighteen months, a year and a half, were added; it was fate’s limit.

The old head of the Liu Family, once a dominating force in the Hong Kong scene, passed away peacefully a few months ago. But with Chen Yan extending his life, in his last eighteen months, Elder Liu resolved the family’s greatest threats and significant business troubles, while also arranging matters for future generations with remaining strength.

Especially, he took drastic measures to clear obstacles for his successor, Liu Zhaoming, among his peers.

Before Elder Liu passed away, the Liu Family’s business was calm, and Liu Zhaoming was firmly in control, his position as stable as a mountain.

Reflecting on past events, Liu Zhaoming held great admiration for Chen Yan, viewing him as an unattainable authority, like a revered mountain. After Elder Liu’s passing, Liu Zhaoming made several attempts to contact Chen Yan, wanting to visit Jinling Prefecture.

However, as Chen Yan had gone abroad to roam the world and lick the Heavenly Dao, Liu Zhaoming couldn’t reach him, but he maintained contact with Chu Keqing.

This time, as Chu Keqing arrived in Port City, that evening she met with Liu Zhaoming, accompanied at the banquet by the matriarch of the Liu family, the widow of Elder Liu.
