The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine - Chapter 985

Chapter 985: Chapter 985: A Contest of Magic Chapter 985: Chapter 985: A Contest of Magic The Ailao Mountain youth was clearly displeased with Huang Xiaolong and, unable to find an opportunity to take action, aimed to oppress Huang Xiaolong and show off his wealth at the same time. Hence, he brought out many materials to give to the Taoist boys who were crowding into this courtyard to enjoy the spectacle.

The items that the Ailao Mountain young master presented were indeed exceedingly rare, priceless even. For instance, some of the ores were dazzlingly brilliant — if a bit of this ore were integrated into the forging process, one could certainly create an exceptional weapon capable of cutting through hair with a mere breath. There were also some gemstones, crystal clear and perfect for crafting Jade Talismans!

“Overseas cultivators are really loaded~~” Even the eldest senior brother couldn’t help but feel a little tempted as he watched; he too wanted to pick out a welcome gift for himself. However, it was clear that these gifts were meant for the Taoist boys, so the eldest senior brother, holding on to his pride, had no choice but to suppress his desires.

At this time, Huang Xiaolong actually asked Huo Bingyan to bring him a roll of toilet paper!

“Kid, what are you trying to do?” The Ailao Mountain youth looked somewhat bewildered. He thought to himself, we’re showing off our wealth, and instead of presenting treasures, you’re getting a roll of toilet paper. Are you planning to go to the toilet?

“Hahahaha~~~” Suddenly, the Ailao Mountain youth’s eyes flashed with a look of realization, followed by a burst of endless, mocking laughter. “I get it, you’re planning to use an ‘Excrement Escape Art,’ right? Hahahaha~~~That’s just pathetic, just ridiculous…”

Upon hearing this, both the eldest senior brother and Huo Bingyan’s senior sister sister also started laughing.

Huang Xiaolong’s wives, however, were smiling in a way that wasn’t quite a smile. They knew all about Huang Xiaolong’s unfathomably deep methods; if Huang Xiaolong asked for toilet paper, it must have a purpose.

Huo Bingyan obediently brought over the roll of unused toilet paper and handed it to Huang Xiaolong. “Husband, here you go!”

“Who said I was planning to use an ‘Excrement Escape Art?’ As for your stuff, it’s all just a bunch of junk metal and trashy rocks, eh~~ To think they say that overseas cultivators and magicians are all immensely wealthy. Turns out, your generosity is so stingy, so narrow-minded…” Huang Xiaolong tore off a small piece of the toilet paper.

“I see, you just want to have a quick wit. Since you look down on the things I’ve given out, then fine, what about you? What do you intend to give?” The Ailao Mountain young master sneered incessantly.

“I’m giving this roll of toilet paper.” Huang Xiaolong stated seriously.

As soon as he said this, everyone was dumbfounded!

Including those Taoist boys!

“Pfft~~~” Xiaohong and Heimei both burst into laughter at the same time.

“You~you~you… You’re making a fool of me! You dare to compare my painstakingly collected heavenly and earthly treasures from overseas to a roll of toilet paper!” The youth from Ailao Mountain quivered with rage, burning with anger. If it weren’t for his concerns about repercussions, he would have already lashed out at Huang Xiaolong.

“Kid! You’re really lucky! If we were overseas, the moment you said such a thing, you’d have already been obliterated!” A cruel glint flickered through the Ailao Mountain youth’s eyes.

But the eldest senior brother just nodded again and again, laughing sinisterly. The bigger the conflict between Huang Xiaolong and the Ailao Mountain youth, the happier he was. He would just sit back and reap the benefits when the time came.

Huang Xiaolong said earnestly, “You’re mistaken, how could I possibly compare this roll of toilet paper to your junk metal and trashy rocks? You misunderstood. What I mean is this roll of toilet paper, in my hands, is no longer just toilet paper, but a treasure! Worth countless times more than your junk!”

Having said that, Huang Xiaolong took out a cinnabar brush, started tearing the toilet paper, and began to draw talismans on those torn pieces.

As soon as each talisman was completed, it would flutter upwards. To everyone’s amazement, the talismans drawn on toilet paper were filled with powerful spiritual power, shining brightly and overflowing with brilliance!

“Uh~~~” Even the eldest senior brother was somewhat stunned!

It’s known that drawing talismans required the use of fine-quality yellow paper; the better the quality of the yellow paper, the more effective and powerful the resulting talismans would be.

Even someone with formidable spiritual power couldn’t produce top-quality talismans if the drawing materials were subpar.

Seeing Huang Xiaolong using toilet paper to draw talismans was something unheard of, unseen by anyone present!

For a while, everyone’s eyes were glued to Huang Xiaolong.

Huang Xiaolong had been immersed in the art of talisman crafting since he was young and was extremely proficient at it.

In no time at all, an entire roll of toilet paper had been used up.

This one roll of toilet paper yielded several hundred talismans!

At that moment, several hundred talismans were all floating in the air, including Wall Penetration Talismans, Invisibility Talismans, Evil Banishing Talismans, Demon Suppressing Talismans, Gale Talismans, Fire Dragon Talismans, Ice Talismans…

Suddenly, several hundred talismans, some like autumn waters, some entwined with spiritual fire, some twisting like dragons and snakes, others brimming with murderous intent, and still others exuding an aura of overwhelming righteousness…

Brilliant treasure light was abundant, and spiritual energy surged like a tide.

The whole courtyard was illuminated!

It was a spectacular sight to behold!

The mystical symbols glowed brightly, completely overshadowing the radiance of the precious materials and treasures of the Ailao Mountain youths! This made those materials and gemstones appear dull and lackluster.

“Top-quality mystical symbols! All of them are top-quality! Even using the finest yellow paper and cinnabar, one couldn’t draw these mystical symbols!” Several disciples from Dragon Tiger Mountain uttered dreamlike exclamations, their eyes filled with fervor.

Those present were experts, and they could immediately sense the quality of the mystical symbols.

“For those present, aside from you few, it’s ‘finders, keepers’–” Huang Xiaolong looked at the eldest senior brother with a mocking gaze, at Huo Bingyan, that acerbic senior sister, and the Ailao Mountain youths. “These are my gifts for meeting you. To those who like them, feel free to pick as you wish.”

“Ah?! Are we really allowed to pick?” A disciple from Dragon Tiger Mountain was almost gasping for air.

“Yes, go ahead and choose,” Huang Xiaolong said with a carefree smile.

“Ah~~~ such great stuff! I want one!”

In an instant, those Dragon Tiger Mountain disciples who had originally come to mediate forgot about their status and, along with the young temple attendants, began grabbing for the mystical symbols.

“Husband, can we pick too?” Huo Bingyan asked, rubbing her hands together.

“Of course,” Huang Xiaolong nodded.

Following that, everyone around Huang Xiaolong except for Ma Chuxia–Huo Bingyan, Feng Hanyan, Yan Pianpian, and the three little demons–rushed to grab the mystical symbols floating in mid-air.

“I’ve activated these mystical symbols. Whoever uses them, they will work,” Huang Xiaolong said with a chuckle.

“Little Long~~ your talent in drawing mystical symbols is truly unmatched in this world. But aren’t you really against the people from Dragon Tiger Mountain? Why would you draw mystical symbols for them?” Ma Chuxia whispered from the side.

“Hehehe, wife, there are many heretics in Dragon Tiger Mountain, of course, I wouldn’t draw mystical symbols for them. These symbols, indeed, I drew them myself, and all are of high quality, but because they were drawn on toilet paper… they will lose their mana after three days,” Huang Xiaolong said with a cunning laugh, whispering to Ma Chuxia. “These mystical symbols drawn on toilet paper are best used right away. After a few days, they will become nothing more than toilet paper for wiping one’s butt, hahahaha~~~”
“Pfft~~ Little Long, you really know how to prank people. With such high-quality mystical symbols, these people will treasure them and hardly dare to use them. But after a while, when they look at their collected treasures… pfft~~ they’ll be worthless…” Ma Chuxia couldn’t help but laugh. “Luckily, I didn’t join in the rush.”

Everyone was frantically scrambling for the toilet paper mystical symbols, wishing they could grab more, and no one bothered to ask about the Ailao Mountain youth’s precious materials and treasures anymore.

The Ailao Mountain youth, the eldest senior brother, and senior sister Huo Bingyan’s faces looked like eggplants beaten by frost, yet when they looked at Huang Xiaolong, their eyes were filled with a fierce hatred that seemed to want to grind him into dust on the spot!

This time, Huang Xiaolong’s face-slapping was truly ruthless!

However, they gained a new appreciation for Huang Xiaolong!

Setting everything else aside, his talent in the art of mystical symbols was truly unparalleled in this world!

Even Heavenly Master Zhang would have to admit inferiority to his skill in drawing top-quality symbols on toilet paper!

“Hahaha~~~ What do you think? I told you, whatever you brought out is nothing but trash, scrap metal… Hey, don’t you boast about being so rich overseas? It seems that you must be having a tough time, coming from some poor backwater place…” Huang Xiaolong mocked the Ailao Mountain youth as he rubbed salt into the wound.

“What nonsense are you spouting?!” The senior sister Huo Bingyan screeched, furious and flustered, like a shrew.

“Kid! So, you’ve been playing the pig to eat the tiger all along!” The Ailao Mountain youth stared at Huang Xiaolong with a grim and vicious look, wishing he could carve a chunk out of Huang Xiaolong. “In the art of mystical symbols, you are indeed talented, but in life-and-death battles, what matters more are mana, magical treasures, flying swords, cultivation techniques… Mystical symbols are inferior! Overseas, there are no shortages of experts in mystical symbols, but no one has ever heard of someone making a name for themselves relying on mystical symbols! Maybe you think that because you can draw symbols well, you can act foolishly and disrespect me?”

“Hahahahaha~~ just a frog at the bottom of a well.” Huang Xiaolong said dismissively, then spoke seriously. “With a true mastery of the art of mystical symbols, one could use a single symbol to shatter mountains and a single symbol to make stars fall… of course, small fry like you wouldn’t understand that.”

“Kid! You’ve gone too far today! I’ve formed a grudge with you from this day forth,” the Ailao Mountain youth said with a ferocious and cruel expression.

“What? Do you want to fight me?” Huang Xiaolong asked nonchalantly, shrugging his shoulders. “I’m ready any time.”

“Kid, you don’t have to provoke me. Right now, at the foot of Dragon Tiger Mountain, there’s a gathering of the winds and clouds, and many formidable figures are present. A fight here might disturb the tranquility of some senior experts, and that’s something we can’t afford…” The Ailao Mountain youth’s eyes shifted. “How about we compete in a test of skills instead? A fight between us is inevitable, but due to some constraints, let’s not resort to blows for now, and instead compete in some trivial magic spells, do you dare?”

“Since you are Junior Sister Bingyan’s husband, I, too, would like to test your depth,” the eldest senior brother also stepped forward.

Huang Xiaolong smiled with interest. “Interesting. Compete in spells? Right now?”

“What, are you scared now?” The eldest senior brother and the Ailao Mountain youth said with a sneer in unison.

“Fine, it sounds fun. Alright, then I alone shall play with you two,” Huang Xiaolong said with a light smile. “What kind of competition?”
