The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine

Chapter 291: Chapter 291: Covet
After Huang Xiaolong identified the Feng Shui Vase, everyone in the hall was impressed, and no one questioned Huang Xiaolong again.

Initially, Old Master Lin had spent hundreds of millions to acquire these four Feng Shui Magic Artifacts. But now, the value of just one Feng Shui Vase alone greatly exceeded 100 million.

Given the Lin Family’s wealth, they would undoubtedly never sell this vase. Instead, they would treasure it as a family heirloom to be passed down from generation to generation!

Huang Xiaolong started identifying the four Feng Shui Magic Artifacts from the least valuable one, meaning the other three had a higher value than the Feng Shui Vase. This made the members of the Lin Family look forward to everything Huang Xiaolong would reveal!

Huang Xiaolong calmly picked up the drum in the first tray. “This drum is made of human skin, specifically the skin of an enlightened ancient monk. When played, there is a chance that it will establish a connection between the living and the dead. Moreover, while playing this drum, the sound of chanting Buddhist scriptures will resonate, deterring evil spirits. The reason why this human-skin drum is more valuable than the Feng Shui Vase is that the drum sound can harm a Red Dressed Ghost.”

Finishing his explanation, Huang Xiaolong reinfused a trace of spiritual energy into this drum and then gently struck the drum with his palm.

In an instant, the human skin covering the drum quivered, revealing a face depicting a bald master with his palms pressed together.

Simultaneously, a solemn voice chanting Buddhist scriptures resonated throughout the hall. This voice warmed everyone’s hearts, as if a highly enlightened monk was blessing them.

Huang Xiaolong didn’t continue to play the drum, so the chanting disappeared quickly.

Despite this, the impact of the human-skin drum was unparalleled, causing everyone in the hall to wear solemn expressions and bow in respect. Lin Jianfeng was visibly moved and said, “I… Look at our Lin Family, we’ve gained another family treasure! After the Old Master hears about this, he will be overjoyed!”

Master Ren’s face turned increasingly unsightly.

Huang Xiaolong placed the human-skin drum back on the tray.

Then, he walked to the fourth tray.

Inside the fourth tray, was a rusty bronze mirror.

Huang Xiaolong held the bronze mirror and infused it with his spiritual energy, immediately causing all the rust on the mirror to vanish like mud washed away by water.

The true face of the bronze mirror was revealed!

“Mirrors are common household items. However, in Feng Shui, mirrors hold many significances and possess a certain degree of importance. For example, mirrors should neither face the bed nor the door. Moreover, hanging a mirror by the window can ward off evil,” Huang Xiaolong started to elaborate. “This mirror is a ‘Great Khan Mirror’, a type of commemorative mirror cast during the reign of Emperor Jin Shizong. This mirror is themed around ‘Five Child Coins’ and is associated with a legend that five ginseng children cured the emperor’s illness. The emperor released these ginseng children and they repaid his kindness by offering red ginseng seeds from their heads, which aided the emperor’s recovery.”

As Huang Xiaolong explained, he showcased the rejuvenated bronze mirror. On the back of the mirror, contrary to expectations, there was no dragon or phoenix carvings but rather, five plump children with their hair braided in the traditional Chinese style.

“Every solar noon when the sun’s rays hit the surface of the mirror, these five plump children will come to life and form a region filled with spiritual energy, which in Feng Shui terms is called a ‘Qi field’. When a person stays in this Qi field, they will feel rejuvenated, which helps maintain good health, drives away hidden diseases, and potentially increases longevity,” Huang Xiaolong said with a grin.

“It’s a national treasure! A national treasure indeed!” Lin Jianfeng exclaimed quiveringly.

Even Master Ren had an envious and crazy look in his eyes!

At last, Huang Xiaolong picked up the yellow talisman and said with a smile, “Out of these four Magic Artifacts, this talisman is the most valuable! It is a high-grade ‘Thunder Talisman’, capable of killing both humans and ghosts in a flash.”

“Once activated, it is capable of killing White Dressed Ghosts. As for humans, it is extremely lethal. However, it can only be used once.”

Saying this, Huang Xiaolong walked over to Lin Jing and said with a smile, “Sister Jing, I have reactivated this ‘Thunder Talisman’. You can put it in a small sachet and always carry it with you. It will keep ordinary ghosts at bay. If you want to kill someone, just say the word ‘Heavenly Thunder’ three times, and the talisman within the sachet will self-ignite and attack.”

“This…” Lin Jing hesitated.

Huang Xiaolong had said that this talisman was the most valuable among the four Magic Artifacts, a prized family possession, which she couldn’t accept on her own.

However, it was evident that Huang Xiaolong was genuinely good to her.

Overwhelmed with warmth, Lin Jing blushed and said, “Little Long, you have been very kind to me.”

“Sister Jing, of course,” Huang Xiaolong replied with a grin.

Seeing the pair’s interaction, Lin Jianfeng had a thought – ‘Could it be that my daughter and Little Long have developed feelings for each other?’

Lin Jianfeng was both surprised and delighted, “Lin Jing, keep this talisman. I’m sure your grandfather won’t object to giving you this talisman.”

Knowing the power of the talisman, Lin Jing didn’t decline and took it from Huang Xiaolong, carefully placing it in her pocket.

Seeing this, everyone in the hall couldn’t help but feel envious.

Keeping the talisman aside, having such a life-saving item meant Lin Jing’s life was more secure. Moreover, if she wanted to kill someone, she just had to do so at will. It was as if she held a potent weapon!

Lin Zicong sighed leisurely on the side. “I thought our teacher excelled only in martial arts and gunplay. Who would have thought he could master everything… Our teacher is indeed inscrutable.”

By this point, Huang Xiaolong had completely slapped Master Ren’s face.

Master Ren was very frustrated, especially seeing Huang Xiaolong and Lin Jing acting ambiguously. He immediately stood up, his face pale with anger, and burst out laughing. “Hahahaha~~ I never expected the Lin Family to invite such a person to humiliate me… Good, very good, extremely good. But… are you brave enough to gamble with me!”

“Eh?” Huang Xiaolong was taken aback for a moment before he turned to look at Master Ren. “What tricks are you up to now?”

“I admit, you have some skills in identifying Feng Shui Magic Artifacts. But my strong suit has never been identifying. The Lin Family invited me here to resolve a Feng Shui issue related to a plot of land,” Master Ren said with a sinister smile. “Let’s have a competition to see who can best help the Lin Family deal with the plot of land’s Feng Shui… If I win, the ‘Thunder Talisman’ and the ‘Great Khan Mirror’ will belong to me. Dare you accept this bet?”

Besides being jealous of Huang Xiaolong, Master Ren also coveted the Lin Family’s Magic Artifacts.

Plainly speaking, any one of the four Magic Artifacts was worthy enough to be an heirloom. Especially the ‘Thunder Talisman’ and the ‘Great Khan Mirror’, their values were immeasurable treasures!

“Hahahaha Master Ren, I didn’t expect you to covet the treasures of my Lin Family… You’re good.” Lin Jianfeng said with a chilling smile.

“Hehe… do you dare to bet?” Master Ren provocatively looked at Huang Xiaolong.
