Chapter 2703: Chapter 2695: Explosive (First Update Celebrating the Enthusiastic Patron "Youth")

According to the queue order, the next magical treasure should be the Rui Family’s.

The Rui Family is a branch of the ancient Ji Family, and although they haven’t developed well, they are considered one of the Three Hundred Secret Realm Families, but slightly inferior to the Gongyang Family.

Feng Jun was out of Spirit Stones, so he paused the creation of magical treasures. Everyone knew this, but he returned from a trip to the Higher Realm with many Spirit Stones, which couldn’t escape the notice of those who pay attention. The Rui Family saw he was still delaying and came to prompt him.

The Rui Family really didn’t want to be too rash, but when it’s their turn, the other party is reluctant to proceed, and being so close yet out of reach is truly frustrating.

Feng Jun decided to convince with courtesy, expressing that he had been crafting for a long time and planned to take a vacation, asking them to wait a while.

The Rui Family didn’t dare to erupt, cautiously asking how long the wait might be.

Feng Jun candidly stated that his crafting quota for the year was mostly completed, so he couldn’t say exactly how long the wait would be. It could be as short as one month or as long as four months.

The Rui Family felt a bit puzzled: why did things move so fast for other families, but for theirs, it slowed down? Did they somehow offend him?

They didn’t dare to pester Feng Jun, so they asked Yan Yuxi to inquire— the Yan Family has marital ties with the Rui Family, whose strength is slightly weaker, yet they are on good terms with Feng Jun.

Yan Yuxi, who is not reserved with Feng Jun, came to ask, daring to say anything— are you planning to make things difficult because you saw the Rui Family’s twin sisters were pretty?

The Rui Family’s twins are indeed beautiful, known as the Rui Family’s Twin Beauties, both at the Outlandish Peak, young but eager to mingle with others at White Pebble Beach to quickly step into the Golden Core Master’s realm.

The twins’ looks are on par with Yan Yuxi, and what sets them apart is the rarity of sisters, so despite having slightly lower cultivation, they attract many admirers at White Pebble Beach, including the offspring of large families and sect elites, surpassing Yan Yuxi in popularity.

Yan Yuxi believes that her lower popularity is due to the higher standards and vision of her family, and indeed, the Rui Family is somewhat stronger than the Yan Family, yet she can’t help but feel a pang of jealousy.

What nonsense are you talking about! Feng Jun said with mixed emotions, I earn Top-Grade Spirit Stones through crafting magical treasures— would I willingly stop unless necessary?

Then Yan Yuxi asked a sensitive question: the Rui Family wants to swap positions with those ranked lower on the Formation Path, does White Pebble Beach allow this kind of operation?

No way! Feng Jun directly stated, I can refund the Top Spirit Stones, the Rui Family can rejoin the queue, but exchanging rankings is not possible.

He didn’t consider the possibility of scalpers, although the rankings at White Pebble Beach are highly coveted and could give rise to scalpers, the fact is that those eligible to queue have been vetted by him, and non-major powers have no qualification to enter.

And if members of major powers engaged in scalping, it would be shameful if it got out.

Feng Jun was thinking about the incident involving the Gongyang Family and Taixu Sect, learning from past mistakes, he didn’t want to give anyone a chance to stir up trouble.

Seriously, he’s curious: if the Rui Family has this idea, why didn’t they come to tell him themselves, but instead have you ask me?

Yan Yuxi revealed a little secret: many clan forces suspect that you might be more friendly to sect practitioners.

Feng Jun found this speculation quite ridiculous— haven’t my actions been fair and even-handed?

He left unsaid words: at White Pebble Beach, there are currently two True Lords, both are clan practitioners.

Yan Yuxi replied, last time the Xuanyuan Family wanted to help you exchange Spirit Stones, you flatly refused, but when Taixu Sect offered to sell the Spirit Stone Mine, you were tempted— it’s not just your temptation, Taixu Sect held you in high regard too.

Feng Jun felt puzzled hearing this: have clan and sect forces reached such an intense level of opposition?

Yan Yuxi felt this wasn’t particularly severe; in her impression, the two forces have always had opposition amid cooperation, although "seeking similarity in differences" is politically correct, secretive actions have never ceased.

She thinks the Rui Family might not necessarily be leaning toward sect forces; more likely, they are probing Feng Jun’s attitude toward them, testing his factional inclinations.

This probing comes with considerable leverage; Feng Jun is collaborating with the Formation Path to develop new formations, making him logically more susceptible.

Feng Jun had no intention to complain about the Rui Family, he just casually muttered, "Living so stressed out, isn’t it exhausting?"

That night, he vanished, as Jing Ling wasn’t around, many noticed this scene, but everyone was used to his mysterious comings and goings— Mountain Master Feng’s Teleportation Divine Ability was always renowned.

Feng Jun returned to Earth, with the usual routine of inspecting around, the last time he stayed in the Earth Realm for a long period was half a year ago, and this time he discovered many new changes in Huaxia.

The many things he brought back gradually showed their influence, hardly needing mention are crude oil and iron ore, which freed Huaxia from being crippled in these aspects, and as for the currency’s gold standard, even less needs to be said.

The expansion of subsequent influence mainly appeared in technology, and in military applications, were beginning to show prominence—even if we don’t mention futuristic black technologies like space battleships, individual combat mechs, space materials, anti-gravity systems, etc., they are starting to unveil their mysteries.

In medical and civilian life, as well as mining and construction, there were leaps and bounds, and quantum transmission technology had achieved cross-generational advancement.

Huaxia’s rapid development has baffled not only the international community but even its own citizens, with rumors circulating confidently: Huaxia has found a fallen alien spacecraft.

According to Beauty Lin, several foreign intelligence agencies have actually confirmed that Huaxia possesses more than one alien artifact.

No matter how strict the security regulations, absolute secrecy is impossible. The difference lies only in how much is leaked, and many people leak because they are proud of Huaxia’s strength, not for subjective reasons.

These scenarios are truly somewhat absurd, yet the international community is most concerned now with the explosion in Huaxia’s medical sector.

This doesn’t just refer to medications but also medical equipment bursting forth, even some drugs posing as health products have exploded — Huaxia’s health products have little market abroad due to large fines from false advertising against distributors.

Yet some health products from certain pharmaceutical companies have changed foreigners’ views on Huaxia’s offerings.

In the legends, these are real medicines, simply not undergoing clinical trials or they don’t wish to promote the trial results, much less conduct trials abroad, so they appear on the market as health products.

Some countries have applied for clinical trials, but Huaxia isn’t interested — we’re merely selling health products, only in Huaxia.

Yes, now Huaxia’s health products pose no pressure to distributors because there aren’t any at all; sales are solely domestic, and foreign buyers need to find agents or buy in person.

But the price difference between domestic and foreign sales... can’t be compared.

Drugs are one aspect, but the experience with medical equipment is even more direct. A friendly nation’s president suffered a heart attack, with Merrick and Europa opposing his treatment — at least not guaranteeing his safety, leaving him no choice but to come to Huaxia.

Huaxia saw the situation and said, "Hey, this is our specialty, coming to Huaxia is right, nanobots... let’s go!"

Besides medical equipment, there are also some advanced medicines, even... health products, anyhow two months later the president’s chronic illness was gone, and he was lively like he had become twenty years younger.

He wasn’t entirely sure how miraculous the medicines were... even with a health doctor accompanying him, he didn’t understand medicine, right?

The president’s direct impression was that this medical equipment was very impressive, with holographic imaging you could see exactly where the blockage was; if I were the doctor, I could treat myself... of course, some nanobots would be needed for assistance.

So he expressed that this thing is really good, whose production is this? I’d like to introduce a set.

It’s unquestionably good! Huaxia’s doctors proudly stated, "We produce it ourselves, with no branches, but you want to introduce it?"

That’s very difficult...

Production capacity is limited, not sold abroad, Huaxia barely meets its own needs, many top hospitals are lined up, the delivery period is scheduled for ten years later... no no no, it’s not about money, Huaxia’s top hospitals aren’t short of funds.

The president felt hurt and expressed to the liaison, "This is a good thing, I want to take it back for the benefit of my people!"

This request was daring, the holographic imaging equipment can’t be manufactured by Huaxia itself, relying only on what Feng Jun brought back — fortunately, during the Insect Race’s siege of Xingzheng Star, much medical equipment was damaged; he managed to bring back about a dozen sets.

But a dozen sets... aren’t even enough for Huaxia, with so many top hospitals.

Huaxia expressed difficulty, yet the president was persistent, "I’m set on this item, money is not an issue."

"We aren’t short of money," Huaxia said, "although our per capita level isn’t high, historically per capita since the 20th century is worse, but the overall economy isn’t too bad, the key is the technology level is too high, unsuitable for export."

"You aren’t short of money... then I’ll exchange with oil, also iron ore, molybdenum ore is fine," the president knew what Huaxia wanted, and buying the equipment back could promote Huaxia’s strength, attracting a group of partners to play.

So this matter cannot be viewed solely from a trade perspective, Huaxia clearly understood, because with Feng Jun’s presence, crude oil and iron ore aren’t too big of an issue, molybdenum ore... Huaxia isn’t lacking either.

But Huaxia lacks partners to play with... that’s truly missing, the discourse power has never been in their hands.

So, let’s sell one set then, and showcase Huaxia’s style.

However, as for nanobots, just a wild imagination... absolutely a non-sale item, isn’t one diagnostic equipment set enough?

As long as diagnosis is possible, other hospitals can be sought for treatment— the lesion has been identified, is treatment difficult?

It’s essential to realize that even within Huaxia, those diagnosed with holographic imaging are not too few, but eligible nanobot users are still not many.

This isn’t a matter of price, holographic imaging can be used indefinitely— as long as the equipment is fine, however, nanobot usage has a limit on frequency, even through various technical treatments, it definitely cannot be reused over three times.
