The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine Chapter 1058

Chapter 1058: Chapter 1058: Today, you will lose everything~! Chapter 1058: Chapter 1058: Today, you will lose everything~! Spirit Stone? I don't have any…

Huang Xiaolong said these words with blunt decisiveness.

Now, in the entire auction hall, the attention of all the cultivators was focused on Huang Xiaolong's private room, as they extended their divine senses to scan the movements within.

Huang Xiaolong did not deliberately shield his room to prevent other cultivators' divine senses from prying into it.

Thus, the words spoken by Huang Xiaolong were heard loud and clear by all the cultivators!

Whoo~~~!!!!

An uproar!

The whole venue was in an uproar!

“Damn it! After all this time, it turns out he was bluffing!”

“How audacious can he be? A pauper daring to run wild here, who gave him the courage?”

“He dares to bid 200,000 top-grade Spirit Stones without having any?”

“Island Master Giant Whale is a powerful existence in the late stages of Crossing Calamity Realm, able to pluck stars and seize the moon, and dominate a region! This kid–did he eat the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard? Running wild here is no different than seeking death!”

“That's right, years ago, the old Giant Whale set down some rules, which even the major sects overseas acknowledge and their disciples abide by. This youngster flagrantly overrules the old Giant Whale's rules, a blatant provocation. No matter his background, he only faces a dead end, and there's no doubt about it.”

“Indeed, death is certain. He will be suppressed on the spot.”

“Hmph! I knew it would be like this, it's simply outrageous, ruining my good mood today!” Xia Ding seemed completely relaxed now, with a thick layer of mockery on his face.

The hostess Mengqi had a frosty layer on her pretty face, cold enough to freeze the air around her.

Inside Huang Xiaolong's luxurious private room.

The two mid-Crossing-Calimity cultivators who had barged in now had completely darkened faces, and they exuded a suffocating, terrifying aura, their eyes sharp like hawks', as if they wanted to skin Huang Xiaolong alive!

“Young man, should I say you are arrogantly ignorant, or should I say your courage knows no bounds? You truly do not value your life~~” One of the initial-stage Crossing Calamity cultivators flexed his muscles, channeling and consolidating his Mana so much that his body burst with incomparably dazzling beams of light, ready to make his move.

“Hahaha~~” Huang Xiaolong sat back leisurely, crossing his legs. “Who says I don't cherish my life? I value it most dearly.”

“Since you cherish your life, yet you utter nonsense in bidding here. Forget it, we won't make a move. Now, come with us to see the old Giant Whale and see how he will deal with you,” another initial-stage Crossing-Calamity cultivator said, looking at Huang Xiaolong with pity, as if he were looking at a dead thing!

“I did not bid recklessly.” Huang Xiaolong shook his head. “I may not have 200,000 top-grade Spirit Stones, but I have items worth more than 200,000 top-grade Spirit Stones. I bid for the artifact with these items. Does this also count as a violation of the rules?”

Upon hearing these words, the ferocious and murderous auras of the two Crossing-Calimity cultivators suddenly weakened, replaced by a thread of doubt.

“Oh? Young man, you have items worth 200,000 top-grade Spirit Stones? If that's true, then we have indeed wronged you. What are these items? Bring them out now; our auction house has master Appraisers who can assess them and come up with the fairest price,” one of the cultivators said to Huang Xiaolong, his tone now more polite.

In the auction hall below and in many private rooms, exclamations of surprise were heard one after another.

“Hahahaha–how cunning! Too cunning! You, a little boy, possess treasures worth 200,000 top-grade Spirit Stones? Utterly ludicrous! Do you take us for three-year-old children?” Xia Ding scoffed disdainfully. “Let's set aside someone as insignificant as you for the moment; even I, myself, don't have a treasure worth 200,000 top-grade Spirit Stones in my possession!”

Xia Ding was well aware that even True Disciples of major sects like Shushan, Qingcheng, and Emei could not produce a treasure valued at 200,000 top-grade Spirit Stones.

He was certain Huang Xiaolong was talking nonsense in an attempt to bluff his way through.

Mengqi quickly apologized to Xia Ding's private room, “Young Master Xia, please calm down. We will handle this matter fairly.”

The auction was temporarily put on hold. It could only proceed after verifying whether Huang Xiaolong's items were truly worth 200,000 top-grade Spirit Stones.

Inside Huang Xiaolong's private room.

Huang Xiaolong did not dawdle; he thoughtlessly took out three Life Extension Pills from his bosom.

Before coming overseas, Huang Xiaolong had a total of six Life Extension Pills. He exchanged one with Guan Shan, then gave one each to Zhan Tang and Master Dongfang, leaving him with three. Huang Xiaolong believed that the value of these three Life Extension Pills would not be difficult to surpass 200,000 top-grade Spirit Stones.

After all, Guan Shan was willing to trade an island that had been operating for many years for one Life Extension Pill from Huang Xiaolong.

“This is? What is this?” Taking the three red, life-force-pulsing pills from Huang Xiaolong's hand, one of the Crossing Calamity cultivators had a more solemn expression on his face. “Pills! Though I'm not very knowledgeable about medicine, I can tell that these red pills are high-quality precious medicines. I can't assess the value of your pills. Please wait, now I will hand over these pills to the Appraising Master!”

“Alright. I have no problem with that,” Huang Xiaolong chuckled cheerfully.

He wasn't worried. If these people from Whale Island dared to swallow his immortal medicine, Huang Xiaolong wouldn't mind making them pay tenfold! After all, Huang Xiaolong never minded making a big fuss about things.

“Rest assured, our Whale Island values our reputation above all. We would not clandestinely consume your elixirs, young man. Please wait,” said the two early-stage Crossing Tribulation realm giants as they hurriedly left the private room.

“Esteemed guest, please stay seated calmly. Do not make any rash moves or attempt to slip away. Our Appraisal Master will announce the assessment results shortly,” Mengqi warned coldly.

“Hahahahaha~~~ It seems there are a few pills. What kind of medicine are they? This young master has traveled all over the world and has seen countless treasures and rarities. I have never come across any elixirs worth so many top-grade spirit stones,” Feiyang said with great spirit. “Let alone seeing, I have never even heard of such a thing! So… your little spider tricks are downright despicable! Just wait for death!”

“The reason you've never seen them is that you're short-sighted. The reason you've never heard of them is your ignorance,” Huang Xiaole retorted lazily before leisurely picking up a teapot, pouring himself a cup, and sipping slowly and deliberately.

Zhan Tang, standing by, clicked his tongue in amazement, his eyes wide with shock. “Longevity… Immortal… Immortal Medicine~~ Island Master, this… this kind of heaven-defying medicine, you… you…”

“Oh, there are no more left. Just the last three,” Huang Xiaolong said placidly. “Stop staring at me; there really aren't any left.”

Waiting.

Everyone was waiting for the appraisal master's final evaluation.

However, during the wait, skepticism, curses, and mocking laughter… negative voices grew increasingly intense.

“Kid, you can't escape your fate today,” Xia Ding said viciously. “Cherish the last moments of your life~~ Hahahaha…”

As Xia Ding laughed, everyone else joined in laughter.

Just then!

Boom~~~!!!!

A fierce fire streaked in from outside!

Everyone was startled and turned to look.

They saw a middle-aged man wearing a fiery red robe rushing into the auction house, exuding an extremely strong aura and robust mana fluctuations, clearly at the mid-stage of Crossing Tribulation realm.

“Ah~~ Manager Zhao?” Mengqi said, her face draining of color in shock.

“This is the Chief Appraiser of Whale Island, who also holds the position of the great steward, Manager Zhao!!!!” Someone immediately recognized the identity of the man in the red robe, someone of a much higher status.

Shortly after, the two early-stage Crossing Tribulation realm giants who had taken the Immortal Medicine for appraisal from Huang Xiaolong's room also rushed in, not stopping for a moment.

“Where is the person? Which private room?” Manager Zhao bellowed anxiously.

“Manager Zhao, please don't rush, please follow us~~”
Amidst the focused silence of the crowd, the two early-stage Crossing Tribulation giants led the anxious Manager Zhao to Huang Xiaolong's room.

“Young friend, is this medicine yours?” Upon entering the room, Manager Zhao's divine sense swept over Huang Xiaolong back and forth. However, Huang Xiaolong gave the impression of a deep and unfathomable pool. At first glance, Huang Xiaolong's cultivation seemed weak, but upon closer examination, it seemed not to be the case.

Manager Zhao marveled at this.

But he wasn't too interested in Huang Xiaolong's realm of cultivation, as he started by inquiring about the Immortal Medicine.

Huang Xiaolong sat back, relaxed, and asked with a smile, “Yes, it's my medicine. What about it? Have you appraised it?”

“This is the Immortal Medicine,” Manager Zhao said eagerly. “This kind of precious medicine appeared once in the overseas world years ago, sparking a frenzy. It's incredible that such a heaven-defying treasure has resurfaced!”

Manager Zhao was visibly excited.

“Young friend, don't worry about us doing anything to you. Here, the Immortal Medicine, we'll temporarily return it to you,” and with that, Manager Zhao handed back the three Immortal Medicines, returning them intact to Huang Xiaolong.

“Umm~~ did I happen to disrupt the rules of this auction house today?” Huang Xiaolong smiled.

“Young friend, you jest,” Manager Zhao said humbly. “Just now, it was our people who were too presumptuous and disrespectful, disturbing you. Here, I, as the steward of Whale Island, wish to offer my apologies.”

After a pause, Manager Zhao continued. “These three Immortal Medicines have been assessed by our appraisers, and a result has been reached. Such magical medicine should be beyond price, and it's difficult to measure the value of the Immortal Medicine with spirit stones. Yet, as I'm sure the young friend knows, the medicine has a few drawbacks, which even the world's top alchemists can't mitigate. Therefore, the value of the Immortal Medicine is significantly reduced.”

“Even so, if it were auctioned, it would still incite numerous giants to compete fiercely,” Manager Zhao said pointedly. “If auctioned, there would be excess bids. In our evaluation process, we have also considered this excess part. So–uh, 250,000 top-grade spirit stones.”

“250,000 top-grade spirit stones?” Huang Xiaolong was momentarily stunned.

“Yes, young friend, this should be a relatively fair price. Three Immortality Pills, totaling a value of 250,000 top-grade Spirit Stones,” Manager Zhao said sincerely.

Huang Xiaolong pondered for a moment.

“Young friend, if these Immortality Pills did not have those defects and shortcomings, we wouldn't be able to evaluate them today. How about it – would you be willing to sell these three Immortality Pills to our Giant Whale Island? 250,000 top-grade Spirit Stones,” Manager Zhao said, his eyes filled with hope.

Huang Xiaolong's mind raced with thoughts, and he couldn't help but fiddle with the piece of metal fragment in his hand. Slowly, an idea began to take shape.

“Hold on a moment,” Huang Xiaolong said with a smile to Manager Zhao, then he burst into loud laughter. “How does it feel? All you reveling in schadenfreude, wanting to kick me when I'm down, aren't you disappointed now? And you, Genius Xia, didn't you calculate that I wouldn't be able to produce 200,000 top-grade Spirit Stones? Tsk tsk, how does that superior look on your face feel now, a bit painful perhaps? How about it, can I say that I've slapped your face? Hahaha! How does being slapped in the face feel? Next, I am going to bid for that large cauldron treasure, the one you set your heart on and were determined to get, but if I succeed in getting it, it will be another slap in your face! Hahaha! A genius of the Hidden Dragon List? Tsk tsk, being able to slap your faces is truly exhilarating!”

Huang Xiaolong deliberately provoked Xia Ding.

The conversation between Manager Zhao and Huang Xiaolong had been overheard by the other cultivators, who caught every word with their spiritual sense.

No one would question Manager Zhao's appraisal.

250,000 top-grade Spirit Stones!!!!

With such a fortune, he instantly outclassed ninety percent of the cultivators present!

Those who just previously mocked Huang Xiaolong for posturing as if he had nothing were now blushing with shame, wishing they could crawl into a hole and hide!

Xia Ding was furious and trembling all over, a violent aura emanating from him.

No one had ever insulted him as deeply as Huang Xiaolong just did. And never before had he felt so powerless and humiliated like today.

At that moment, Huang Xiaolong's voice sounded again, “Genius Xia, let's not waste words. I have 250,000 top-grade Spirit Stones on me, and I've already made a bid of 200,000. You can raise the price. Once you go beyond 250,000 top-grade Spirit Stones, then I will be unable to compete with you. Otherwise, if you cannot reach 250,000, then I'm sorry, the large cauldron treasure will be mine. Hehe, don't forget our wager.”

Huang Xiaolong handed the choice over to Xia Ding.

It was simple; now it was Xia Ding's turn to raise his bid.

If he could offer more than 250,000 top-grade Spirit Stones in one go, Huang Xiaolong would give up the competition.

The atmosphere was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

All cultivators' eyes were fixed on the luxurious private room where Xia Ding was seated!

The air grew tense and heavy!

Inside Xia Ding's private room.

Xia Ding was standing, his body shaking, veins on his forehead bulging, and beads of sweat flowed down his face like waterfalls.

His complexion was ashen!

His fists were clenched so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh, drawing blood!

Xia Ding faced a fierce internal struggle.

One could say this was the toughest choice Xia Ding had ever faced in his life!

“Young Master, don't act rashly! And don't fixate on temporary gains and losses!” an old servant advised shakily. “250,000 top-grade Spirit Stones to purchase such a treasure is absolutely not worth it!”

“Young Master, why not just endure it for now? Let that youngster be smug, and we can track him afterwards and take the cauldron from him, then deal with him–,” another old servant suggested, his eyes flickering with a cold murderous intent.

“Endure? I am a genius favored by heaven. Should I really endure an ant?” Xia Ding lost control of his emotions. “Endure? What a joke! That would be a colossal joke! If I don't get that large cauldron today… wouldn't I become a laughingstock to the entire overseas world? Only by obtaining the cauldron will my thoughts be clear!”

“Young Master! If we offer more than 250,000 top-grade Spirit Stones… it will put a strain on our family's finances,” another cautioned.

“I don't care! I can't swallow this insult! Running out of Spirit Stones? Just send the family's disciples out to make more! Today, I must win!”

Finally, Xia Ding roared, “260,000 top-grade Spirit Stones!”

“Hahaha! Indeed, you're flush with cash, very good, very good,” Huang Xiaolong's mocking laughter echoed from his private room. “Alright, alright, Genius Xia, I can't compete with you. You're really a big spender, oh no, a major financial backer. Yeah, I won't fight with you.”

Huang Xiaolong indeed gave up.

'Hehehe, all these treasures bought for an exorbitant price will soon be mine! Hahaha!' Huang Xiaolong could hardly contain his laughter.

Immediately, auction house staff carried the large cauldron treasure into Xia Ding's private room. After much effort, Xia Ding finally gathered 260,000 top-grade Spirit Stones, having almost drained all the Spirit Stones carried by his entourage.

The auction continued.

There were still a few finale-grade magical artifacts to come, but their quality was also inferior to that of the large cauldron artifact.

Both Huang Xiaolong and Xia Ding had fought to a mutual defeat, so neither of them made any more moves.

Of course, this “mutual defeat” was how others saw it. In reality, Huang Xiaolong was “completely unharmed.”

“These three Undying Pills are worth 250,000 top-grade Spirit Stones, and I am willing to exchange them with you,” Huang Xiaolong finally said to Manager Zhao. “You don't have to give me top-grade Spirit Stones; I need a large amount of materials.”

“Materials?” Manager Zhao's gaze flickered. “Done! Deal! We on Giant Whale Island have also amassed quite a collection of heaven and earth treasures, including some rare materials. Young friend, what materials do you need?”

Although these three Undying Pills had flaws, their value was incalculable. Once Giant Whale Island got the pills, held onto them for a while, and then operated properly, finding a powerhouse in need, they believed that they could at least make double the profit!

Huang Xiaolong then took out pen and paper, and wrote down a list of material names in a flowing hand.

“Here, these are the materials. Fetch them immediately for me. Just calculate the price based on 250,000 top-grade Spirit Stones,” said Huang Xiaolong as he handed over the paper with the material names and the three Undying Pills to Manager Zhao.

Manager Zhao took it, glanced over the paper filled with the names of materials, and nodded. “Good, we have most of these materials here. Young friend, do you need them right away?”

“Yes,” Huang Xiaolong nodded.

“All right. Our Giant Whale Island values reputation above all. Please wait a moment, I will instruct my subordinates to proceed immediately,” Manager Zhao said and hurriedly left the private room.

Huang Xiaolong watched Manager Zhao leave, but the corners of his mouth revealed a gratifying smile.

“Little Long, what do you need so many materials for?” Ying Aoshan asked from beside him.

“I naturally have use for them,” Huang Xiaolong replied with a mysterious smile.

In fact, all the materials Huang Xiaolong needed were to refine the “Godfall Bell”–the very materials required!

'This Godfall Bell can be refined forty-nine times in total to reach perfection. With each successful refinement, its power increases by more than several times! 250,000 top-grade Spirit Stones is quite a sum. After purchasing all the materials, I want to see how many times I can successfully refine it!' Huang Xiaolong was full of anticipation.

After a while, all of the magical artifacts up for auction today had found their owners.

As Huang Xiaolong and Xia Ding did not make any more moves, the last few artifacts of decent quality were all acquired by other cultivators.

They were also glad that due to the rivalry between Huang Xiaolong and Xia Ding, it gave others the opportunity to step in. If it hadn't been for that, those finale-grade magical artifacts would have probably all ended up in Xia Ding's hands.

“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your participation. This auction is now successfully concluded~~~” announced Mengqi, the hostess.

“Wait~~~!” Xia Ding's somber voice interrupted.

Footsteps sounded as Xia Ding, leading a group of his followers, walked down from the top floor's private room, speaking as he walked. “Ladies and gentlemen, please wait a moment. There's one more thing, and you might enjoy joining in the fun and watching the excitement.”

Hearing Xia Ding's words, the departing cultivators stopped in their tracks.

Xia Ding walked straight to the auction stage, his cold gaze turning towards Huang Xiaolong's private room. “Earlier, I made an agreement with a certain someone. We would play a little game: to compare the magical artifacts we acquired at today's auction, to see whose artifacts are of higher quality and greater power.”

“If I, Young Master Xia, win, then that person must surrender all the magical artifacts he has on him to me.”

In Xia Ding's eyes flickered a flame of revenge!

Today, Huang Xiaolong had made him spit blood and severely wounded his vitality; he had to regain his pride!

The magical artifacts he referred to on Huang Xiaolong's person were the four artifacts Huang Xiaolong had won from Huangfu Tianjiao and other nobles.

'Later, when I win those artifacts from that kid, I can significantly reduce the losses incurred today…' Xia Ding calculated inwardly.

The cultivators who were there for the spectacle hadn't expected this twist and stood eagerly, their gazes beginning to heat up.

“Hahaha~~” Laughter rang from Huang Xiaolong's private room, as he, along with Song Yuru and Zhan Tang, also stepped out leisurely towards the auction hall.

“Genius Xia, of course, I haven't forgotten our little game. Hmm~~ If I lose, I will certainly offer the four artifacts I carry with both hands. However, if you lose, the magical artifacts you acquired today, that Eight Treasures Gourd, as well as that large cauldron artifact, will all belong to me,” Huang Xiaolong said as he descended, his gaze fixed on the proud Xia Ding standing at the auction stage. With a sigh, he added, “Honestly, Genius Xia, I am starting to feel a bit reluctant. Today, you're going to end up with nothing.”
