The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine - Chapter 636

Chapter 636: Chapter 636: Little Wife, I’m Here!

Huang Xiaolong, since his childhood, resided within the underworld studying the ancient arts of medicinal concoction, alchemy, and formulating prescriptions. His mind was said to be filled with countless lost medicinal recipes and alchemical formulas.

What the Bian family members brought to trade was a type of elixir capable of detoxification, strengthening the body, and even prolonging life. Furthermore, this elixir proved to be greatly advantageous for ancient martial arts practitioners.

In ancient times, this type of elixir was viewed as somewhat subpar, but given the current times, it could indeed be considered as a miraculous divine medicine.

Objectively speaking, the value of one single pill could be compared to the value of four or five talismans drawn by Ma Chuxia.

But!

The key point was!

This medicine was fake! It was a sham! The medicinal aroma was mixed and impure, and Huang Xiaolong spotted the flaws with just a simple whiff. Moreover, the three lines on the surface of the elixir were fabricated! It was not a three-lined elixir at all!

At that moment, Ma Chuxia was captivated by the elixir. The rich, fragrant aroma made her somewhat elated, and a single sniff seemed to fill her body with energy. It left her feeling invigorated, as if her Qi coursed through her like a rainbow.

Her understanding of elixirs only scratched the surface; naturally, she was unable to determine the genuineness of the pill. Additionally, over the years, The Esoteric Society had numerous transactions with the Bian family without any deceptive practices.

Thus, Ma Chuxia firmly believed that the pill brought by the Bian family was genuine and divine.

“Chairman Ma~~” spoke a Bian family member with a haughty tone, a man who had cultivated 23 strands of True Qi within his body. “In the past, our Bian family had used only two-lined elixirs for trade. This year, however, it’s a three-lined elixir… In the field of alchemy, one can gauge the quality of an elixir by the lines formed on the surface of the pill after it’s prepared. A pill with one line is the lowest grade, while one with five lines is of the highest esteem. In our Bian family, the most precious elixir is a four-lined pill made by an ancestor hundreds of years ago. Regrettably, the formulation method has been lost, and currently, no one in the world can formulate a four-lined elixir. Not even our Bian family. In short, the four-lined elixir is practically extinct! Therefore, a three-lined elixir can be considered a king among elixirs in today’s world! In our Bian family, only a few elders and my cousin Bian Muyan can make a three-lined elixir!”

Pausing for a moment, the man from the Bian family continued leisurely, “Chairman Ma, you must comprehend the value of a three-lined elixir. Hmm~~If we were to trade goods, I’m afraid your 24 talismans wouldn’t suffice.”

“This~~” Ma Chuxia paused for a few seconds before agreeing, “I, Ma Chuxia, never take advantage of others. Indeed, 24 talismans won’t exchange for 24 three-lined elixirs.”

“Ah~~Master Long, these trades are pointless, just exchanging some parchment talismans for medicinal pills,” Zhou Mi whispered beside Huang Xiaolong.

“Heh~~you people don’t understand. Transactions of this level are what you call significant trades,” Huang Xiaolong remarked with certainty.

Indeed, taking Ma Chuxia’s talismans as an example, although they can’t compare to Huang Xiaolong’s talismans, she was, after all, capable of eradicating ordinary Purple Armor Ghosts. Her Daoist power was remarkable, and her personally drawn talismans could sell for several tens of millions each.

The three-lined elixir needn’t even be mentioned. Being able to prolong life, such a thing would find a market even at hundreds of millions. It would instead attract death-fearing tycoons who would scuffle and bid for it.

But Ma Chuxia wouldn’t easily sell her talismans, just as the Bian family wouldn’t resort to selling their medicine.

True enough, this was a significant trade, a top-tier transaction.

“This…” Ma Chuxia’s beautiful eyes flickered for a moment before, slowly, she unhitched a jade pendant from her waist. This jade pendant emitted a warm and inviting aura full of spiritual energy. Holding it in one’s hand instilled a sense of peace. Constantly wearing it would bring enormous benefits.

“This piece of jade isn’t an ordinary piece. It’s a ‘Jade Talisman’ handed down by my Ma family. This ‘Jade Talisman’ is far superior to typical talisman parchments, and it can automatically absorb nature’s spiritual energy. Therefore, the talisman within can be used repeatedly,” Ma Chuxia stated, her eyes flashing a trace of reluctance as she heroically placed the Jade Talisman onto the table. “Adding this Jade Talisman, would that be enough?”

“The method of inscribing formations and talismans on fine jade has been lost for a long time. The value of this ‘Jade Talisman’ surely doesn’t require me to elaborate further,” Ma Chuxia emphasized. “Originally, when I was in France, a friend once offered to exchange 17 vineyards for this ‘Jade Talisman’, and I refused him flatly.”

“Heh~~Apologies, Chairman Ma, but that’s still inadequate,” the Bian family man shook his head. “Bear in mind, a three-lined elixir can extend the life of a dying person by a few years… It can even treat cancer. Hehe…Chairman Ma, it’s not enough.”

“Still not enough?” Chuxia Ma felt slightly dissatisfied.

“Ha ha ha~~~” At this moment, three members of the Bian Family burst into hearty laughter.

“Chairman Ma, your Ma Family is the last heir to the Huaxia Taoist Arts. Over the past hundred years, the Mystery Society that your family established has been rapidly developing and thriving. The relationship between the Ma Family and our Bian Family has also been growing closer…” The Bian Family member, who had condensed 23 True Qi, stared at Chuxia Ma, a glimmer of greed appearing in his eyes. “Chairman Ma, actually, these 24 three-stripe elixir pills, the Bian Family is willing to donate to the Mystery Society for free…”

“Oh… there is no such thing as a free lunch.” A muscle twitched at the corner of Chuxia Ma’s eye. “It seems that the real purpose of your visit today is not just to swap treasures. Just say whatever you have to say.”

“Ha ha ha~~ Chairman Ma, you are indeed a straightforward person!” The member of the Bian family laughed. “Alright… Many elders of our Bian Family highly respect you, Chairman Ma. This time, our Family Head personally sent us three brothers here to act as mediators. Ah~~ Chairman Ma, you’ve come of age to get married, why not… form a marital alliance with our Bian Family?”

After a pause, the Bian Family member looked extremely proud, “Although the Mystery Society is becoming increasingly powerful, in terms of background, it is far from being comparable to the ten great ancient martial families of Huaxia… If Chairman Ma were to marry into our Bian Family, from then on, our Bian Family and the Mystery Society would become one compact family! This will only benefit and bring no harm to the future development of the Mystery Society!”

When he finished speaking, all the Taoist monks and nuns present started exchanging glances.

Wow! So the main purpose of the Bian Family’s visit this time is to have the beautiful Chairman Chuxia Ma marry into the Bian Family!

Yes! The Bian Family’s plot this time is to seize the Mystery Society and Chuxia Ma!

On one hand, Chuxia Ma is a woman of great character with mediocre martial arts skills, but her Taoist skills are extraordinary, superior to her father and even her grandfather. Having such an outstanding woman marry into the Bian Family would not only be a good match, but it would also greatly benefit the family.

On the other hand, the Mystery Society’s rapid growth has turned it into a new force following the ten great ancient martial families of Huaxia. They have both wealth and manpower. If the Bian Family could swallow the Mystery Society, it would definitely strengthen the Bian Family.

Thirdly, apart from the Bian Family, the other ancient martial families of Huaxia are also eyeing the lucrative Mystery Society. To gain the upper hand, the Bian Family must act quickly or risk losing the Mystery Society to another powerful family, which would undoubtedly be a major blow to the Bian Family.

“This… I’m afraid I can’t accept.” There was a cold look in Chuxia Ma’s phoenix eyes, and her shoulders shook slightly because of her rage.

Huang Xiaolong was also very angry!

‘The Bian Family members are all too annoying and disgusting! What Bian Yizhi, Bian Muyan, they are all the scum among scum… Now they actually dare to set their sights on my little wife!’

At that moment, Huang Xiaolong directly stood up and said loudly. “This is too ridiculous. You brought a box of worthless stuff, and you just want to raise the price. Does the Bian Family think that everyone else is a fool?”

As soon as he finished speaking, countless pairs of eyes converged on Huang Xiaolong.

Especially Chuxia Ma, the moment she saw Huang Xiaolong, she immediately thought of the disgrace Huang Xiaolong had given her that night, forcibly robbing her of her first kiss!

Chuxia Ma was totally upset!

“It’s you?!” Chuxia Ma glared at Huang Xiaolong.

“Hehehe, yes, little wife, I am here.” Huang Xiaolong smiled and then walked towards the stage.
