The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine - Chapter 634

Chapter 634: Chapter 634: Exchanging Treasures

“As for what this magic artifact is used for… I’ll demonstrate it to you later.” Huang Xiaolong placed the magic bowl back into his canvas bag, then opened the car door and got out.

“Thanks a lot for today’s lunch, I need to head back to the hotel now,” Huang Xiaolong said jubilantly.

Miao Erfang and Zhou Mi quickly got out of the car. “Hold on, Master Long, don’t rush. Isn’t it almost dinner time? How about, as a favor, we treat you to dinner?” they asked eagerly.

“Erm…” Huang Xiaolong paused slightly before laughing, “Costing you guys again? I’d feel so guilty.”

Miao Erfang and Zhou Mi swiftly moved towards him from left and right, linking arms with him, and without further ado, led him towards the direction of the garage’s exit as if they were afraid he would slip away.

“Master Long, there’s a famous game restaurant around here called the Game Manor that boasts all sorts of delicacies and a beautiful view. It’s a popular destination for dining and relaxation in our city of Dong’an…Let’s go have dinner there,” Miao Erfang flirtatiously suggested, her eyes gleaming with anticipation.

The invitation of a beauty, coupled with the joy of finding a treasure earlier, left Huang Xiaolong in high spirits and he didn’t turn them down.

As the host, Miao Erfang then led Huang Xiaolong and Zhou Mi around the block to what looked like a park.

There was a hill covered in lush greenery, next to a lake. The landscape was truly picturesque. Miao Erfang informed Huang Xiaolong that the Game Manor was located at the hill’s top.

Rich people knew how to enjoy life indeed: dining al fresco on the hilltop, enjoying the scenery, relishing the cool breeze, and the view of the lake was a great pleasure.

At the foot of the hill, stood a signboard: “Tyrant’s Game Manor.”

However, several burly men in black shirts were strictly blocking the path to the hill.

Just as Huang Xiaolong, Miao Erfang, and Zhou Mi were about to climb up the hill, the men in black shirts stepped forward with grim expressions. “Sorry, the Manor is booked today. Please find another place.”

“Seriously? Tyrant’s Game Manor is so big and it’s all booked out? I’ve eaten here many times before and have never encountered such a situation,” Miao Erfang groused.

“Please leave now,” the burly men responded ominously.

At that moment, a few young Taoists in robes quickly approached and said to Huang Xiaolong and others, “Excuse us, please make way.”

“Hey, hey, hey, it’s booked, you can’t go up,” Zhou Mi pointed out.

Unexpectedly, the burly men at the entrance made way immediately and respectfully said, “Please proceed, Taoist Masters.”

“What? Taoists can go up and we can’t?” Miao Erfang was speechless.

‘Oh…The ones who booked the place must be members of the metaphysics society,’ Huang Xiaolong thought. ‘Haha…my little fiancee is probably dining there…should I go meet her?’

Unable to resist, Huang Xiaolong recalled the soulful kiss from the gorgeous president Ma Chuxia on the basketball court that night.

With that thought in mind, the sight of his index finger twitched, he was itching to see Ma Chuxia immediately, maybe even sneak another kiss!

“Come here…”Huang Xiaolong beckoned Miao Erfang and Zhou Mi over, “Do you guys want to go up there and eat some game?”

“Of course we want to,” Zhou Mi pouted, “It must be so romantic to dine here. But there’s no chance today. It’s been booked out. Whoever was able to book such a huge manor is definitely someone special. We can’t afford to offend them.”

“Never mind, let’s come back tomorrow,” Miao Erfang said also seemingly disappointed, but resigned to their fate.

“Hehe… If you guys want to go, I do have a way,” Huang Xiaolong smiled mischievously.

“Master Long, are you suggesting that we force our way in? There’s only one pathway to Tyrant’s Game Manor. The entrance has been blocked. Apart from this, I don’t see what else we could do,” Miao Erfang said skeptically.

“Force our way in? That would be too crude,” Huang Xiaolong chuckled, and instantly took out several Invisibility Talismans from his canvas bag. He explained how to use them to Miao Erfang and Zhou Mi.

The two female anchors were left stunned…

Dear heavens…invisibility?

This is too magical!

Yet, recalling Huang Xiaolong’s extraordinary ghost-catching skills, their doubts were quickly quashed.

Consequently, after the three of them turned invisible, they easily tricked the guards at the base of the hill and sneaked up the hill.

Once the invisibility effect wore off, the trio reappeared in a forest.

“This is so amazing! Wow! I felt just like one of the Calabash Brothers, being invisible!” Zhou Mi cheered with delight.

“Master Long, you’re basically a god!” Miao Erfang was awestruck, “Can you sell a few of these invisibility charms to me?”

“Tsk…you think you can buy invisibility with money?” Huang Xiaolong flatly declined.

Then he took out two more talismans from his bag and gave them to Zhou Mi and Miao Erfang, “Here, these are talismans I created. Stick them on your body, and for a day, they will emit faint Daoist power. Ordinary spirits will be scared away. If other Taoist priests see you, they will mistake you for one of them.”

It was evident that Huang Xiaolong intended for Zhou Mi and Miao Erfang to disguise themselves as members of the Metaphysics Society.

With the Society’s large headcount, the two of them, equipped with talismans, could easily blend in unnoticed with the crowd.

As for Huang Xiaolong himself, he casually exuded some Daoist power without anyone knowing.

Miao Erfang and Zhou Mi felt excited and energetically took the talisman from Huang Xiaolong’s hand.

“Hide it on your body and don’t let anyone see it,” Huang Xiaolong grinned.

“Alright, alright, Master Long, I’ll directly hide it in my brassiere.” Zhou Mi unabashedly flipped open her collar and stuffed the talisman into her brassiere.

Miao Erfang was straightforward too, following suit in Zhou Mi’s fashion.

After affixing the talisman, both the beautiful hosts indeed exuded a trace of Daoist power and transformed into beautiful Daoist women leading worldly lives.

“Alright, now we can swagger our way up the mountain for some game meat,” Huang Xiaolong laughed.

Just then, several men dressed in Daoist robes came up and greeted, “Daoist friends, please halt.”

‘Seriously? Were we discovered?’ Huang Xiaolong was slightly speechless.

Miao Erfang and Zhou Mi’s faces startled with anxiety.

The few Taoists who caught up had pleasant expressions, lacking any hostility, and were even quite friendly.

These Taoists didn’t recognize Huang Xiaolong and didn’t know that he was actually a nemesis of the Metaphysics Association.

One of the middle-aged Taoists laughed, “Daoist friends, we have not met before.”

“Oh, we just joined this year,” Huang Xiaolong made up casually.

The middle-aged Taoist felt that there was indeed some Daoist power emanating from Huang Xiaolong, Zhou Mi, and Miao Erfang. Considering Metaphysics Association’s expansion to include all practitioners, and that they were holding a grand event on this mountain, who would dare to create chaos? Wasn’t that asking for trouble?

“Ah, I see, let’s go up the mountain together. Meeting is destiny, we must help each other in the future, vanquishing demons and monsters,” The middle-aged Taoist laughed heartily.

So, the group started meandering their way uphill.

Daoist friends, since you just joined, you might not know the content of today’s grand event,” The middle-aged Taoist said with a knowing look on his face, a sense of an old veteran.

Huang Xiaolong indeed didn’t know the reason why the Metaphysics Association booked this place for the day. “Yes, indeed, we are just following the instructions and gathering here,” he responded.

“Hahaha~~~” the middle-aged Taoist laughed. “Today, our Metaphysical Association has invited some distinguished guests, all from the highly esteemed circles!”

“Oh? Who are these distinguished guests?” Huang Xiaolong asked, this time genuinely curious and not feigning it.

“You wouldn’t know even if I tell you. Do you know about the ten ancient martial arts families of Huaxia? Have you heard of the Bian family, known to be the descendants of Bian Que?” the middle-aged Taoist boasted proudly, “Today, our chairman has invited the distinguished guests from Bian family!”

“Bian family?” Huang Xiaolong paused.

Doesn’t he know the Bian family?

Ha~~he had even slapped a member of the Bian family!

He also broke Bian Yizhi’s golden finger.

Not to mention the young prodigy from the Bian family, Bian Muyan, who was about to be affianced to the Ying family but was unmasked by Huang Xiaolong, which almost cost Muyan his reputation!

It is safe to say that upon seeing Huang Xiaolong, Bian Yizhi and Bian Muyan would roll up their sleeves and fight him, right?

‘Things are about to get interesting…’ Huang Xiaolong secretly chuckled. ‘I wonder if Bian Yizhi and young master Bian Muyan are on this mountain. If I run into them, I probably have to fight again…’

“Our Metaphysics Association has always had some collaboration with the Bian family,” the middle-aged Taoist said pompously, “Although the Bian family is a powerful and ancient clan of Huaxia with profound heritage, our chairman is also highly regarded by them! They won’t belittle our chairman! Every year, our association and the Bian family exchange treasures.”

“What do you mean by exchanging treasures?” Huang Xiaolong asked, puzzled.

“It’s very simple, basically an exchange of items,” the middle-aged Taoist said loudly, “Our chairman uses talismans or Magic Artifacts to trade for some elixirs and herbs cultivated by the Bian family… The Bian family is a famed medical clan known for their ancient Alchemy. They have cultivated many medicinal plants which have already disappeared in markets… They are really amazing!”

Huang Xiaolong finally understood.

The “exchange of treasures” between Metaphysics Association and the Bian family is just a swap of items, catering to each other’s needs.

By this time, they had reached the mountaintop.

Huang Xiaolong raised his gaze and saw a crowd of people!

He started looking for his beloved Ma Chuxia.
