The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine
Chapter 1060 - Chapter 1060 Chapter 1060 The Divine Bell Chimes Twenty-One

Chapter 1060: Chapter 1060: The Divine Bell Chimes Twenty-One Times! Chapter 1060: Chapter 1060: The Divine Bell Chimes Twenty-One Times! Now, all the cultivators present had seen that the laughable piece of metal, after the addition of some materials, had indeed been refined into a magical treasure!

“It’s true! My young friend! What you said… what you said is true!” Manager Zhao, his mind and spirit agitated, said with a trembling voice. “I was wrong, I admit it. I made a mistake in my appraisal, treating a piece of a magical treasure as trash. Moreover, I have seen that this bell-shaped magical treasure has indeed originated from this piece of metal.”

“Mistaken sight… We were mistaken indeed.” The appraisers from the auction house, who had come with Manager Zhao, were all blushing with shame, feeling utterly humiliated.

Those cultivators who had been noisily mocking Huang Xiaolong fell completely silent.

“No… Impossible! I, Young Master Xia, cannot lose to you! It cannot be!” Xia Ding’s forehead veins bulged like an angry dragon, but fear was starting to show.

If he lost to Huang Xiaolong in this comparison of magical treasures, then the Eight Treasures Gourd and the great cauldron he had acquired today would have to be handed over to Huang Xiaolong.

The loss would be enormous–almost 300,000 high-grade Spirit Stones!

Moreover, the loss of face was something the proud Xia Ding found even harder to accept!

“Young Master, don’t panic… This magical treasure is very ordinary, and even the Eight Treasures Gourd is quite inferior to it, not to mention comparing it to that great cauldron of yours,” a subordinate reassured Xia Ding.

While they were still talking, Huang Xiaolong took out a pile of materials from the Storage Ring, melted them with the Samadhi True Fire into a liquid, and released streams of Mana, turning them into various ancient and obscure seal runes. These runes, created from Mana, were embedded into the materials, one by one, and Huang Xiaolong inserted them into the Divine Falling Bell.

Dong~~~!

The third bell toll.

It was heavy and prolonged, like the morning and evening bells of a temple.

Cleansing one’s heart.

Huang Xiaolong had completed the third refinement.

The size of the Divine Falling Bell increased once again. As for its quality and power, they had surged several times over!

Without another word, Huang Xiaolong continued scattering materials from the Storage Ring.

Refining!

Dong~~!

The Divine Falling Bell sounded for the fourth time!

“Inconceivable! Inconceivable! The quality of this magical treasure is climbing with each refinement!” Manager Zhao, with even more astonishment in his eyes, said, “My young friend, this magical treasure is extremely ancient; how do you know the method of its refinement?”

No wonder Manager Zhao was shocked; each magical treasure had its unique method of refinement. Generally, such methods were known only to the powerful being who created the treasure. Even a Grandmaster of artifact refinement would need to dedicate themselves to lengthy research and study to figure it out.

It hadn’t been long since Huang Xiaolong acquired this piece of metal from the auction, yet he was able to refine it so adeptly. The mastery he showed was almost incomprehensible!

Huang Xiaolong didn’t bother to answer.

Instead, he tossed out materials chunk by chunk, burned them into a liquid, and injected them into the Divine Falling Bell.

Dong~~! Dong~~! Dong~~! Dong~~~!

As the bell continued to toll again and again, the whole island shook slightly.

After a series of refinements, the surface of the Divine Falling Bell gradually took on a golden hue, as if it were cast from solid gold.

On the surface of the bell, dense and twisted runes that resembled tadpoles started to appear, along with images that looked like ancient ancestors worshipping the heavens and deities.

A subtle aura of oppression radiated outwards, causing the cultivators in the auction hall to feel repressed and tense, overwhelmed by the pressure.

By this time, the Divine Falling Bell had gone through twenty refinements, and its quality and power were nearly on par with the great cauldron magical treasure in Xia Ding’s hands. It could directly kill a powerhouse at the Crossing Calamity realm.

‘Good, very good… After just twenty refinements, this Divine Falling Bell has gained tremendous power… If it successfully goes through all forty-nine refinements and reaches a perfect state, then indeed, I can carry this bell and sweep away everything…’ Huang Xiaolong was quite satisfied.

Indeed, if the Divine Falling Bell reached a perfect state, its power wouldn’t fall short of the Great Qin Divine Artifact, the Twelve Golden Figures!

However, the further he went with the refinements, the more materials were required. As of now, there weren’t many materials left in Huang Xiaolong’s Storage Ring, barely enough to complete the twenty-first refinement.

“Hehe, my magical treasure is about to burst through the ceiling of this auction hall in an instant. You all don’t mind, right?” Huang Xiaolong asked Manager Zhao with a mischievous smile.

Yes, the Divine Collapse Bell had grown extremely large, shrouding the entire auction house’s roof.

Heavy as a mountain!

It truly seemed like a bell-shaped range of small hills, floating above everyone’s heads, threatening to burst the auction hall!

“Cough, cough–such a treasure is rarely seen even by us, it really broadens our horizons… No matter… Little friend, please continue with the refinement–flipping the auction house’s roof is no issue, at worst we just find someone to repair it, it’s a trivial matter,” Manager Zhao said earnestly.

“Then that’s great!” Huang Xiaolong smiled faintly and threw all the remaining materials out!

Boom–!!!!

The materials merged into the body of the bell!

A divine glow burst forth!

Dong–!

The Divine Collapse Bell’s 21st chime!

An oppressive aura that crushed everything blossomed forth!

Once again, the size of the Divine Collapse Bell surged.

Instantly, the roof of the auction house was blown away! Mud, ash, and tiles all shattered and were ground into dust!

The entire auction house began to shake as if struck by an earthquake.

And then, akin to a hot air balloon, the Divine Collapse Bell floated outside!

At this time, the size of the Divine Collapse Bell was already large enough to suppress the entire auction house, blocking out the sunlight, casting the interior of the auction hall into darkness.

The Divine Collapse Bell exuded an ancient and desolate aura, intimidating all around!

A very dangerous and subtle aura lingered in everyone’s hearts.

Even a heaven-sent genius like Xia Ding felt a chill and trepidation in his heart at the sight of this divine artifact, with his mana exhibiting some murky fluctuations from the bell’s wild and oppressive aura.

“Alright, the refinement will pause here for now,” Huang Xiaolong laughed.

He had already made his assessment.

After 21 rounds of refinement, the quality of the Divine Collapse Bell had firmly surpassed Xia Ding’s cauldron divine artifact.

Of course, it was only by a small margin.

However, if Huang Xiaolong continued the refinement and completed the 22nd round for Divine Collapse Bell, then it could easily surpass the cauldron.

But this was not simple, based on the required materials, the 22nd refinement would consume the total of what the first 21 rounds had used!

To put it plainly, Huang Xiaolong would need to spend another 250,000 top-grade Spirit Stones to buy materials for the 22nd refinement.

‘My heavens–this divine artifact is indeed powerful, but it really burns through Spirit Stones, doesn’t it? No wonder the sect that originally possessed this artifact ultimately perished. They simply couldn’t afford to maintain such a thing! What’s more terrifying is that should the refinement fail even once, the Divine Collapse Bell will shatter, leaving nothing but a piece of metal scrap–The farther you progress in the refinement, the harder it becomes! The possibility of an explosion also increases!’

Not just a single person, but even a great sect would struggle to afford this Divine Collapse Bell! Unless you stopped taking risks after refining it 20 or 30 times, it was akin to pouring water into a bamboo basket–fruitless!

After a few thoughts flickered in his mind, Huang Xiaolong regained his composure and his gaze shifted to Manager Zhao. “Now, the true nature of this treasure I have acquired has finally revealed itself–how about it? How does the value of my artifact compare to Genius Xia’s cauldron, in terms of superiority and inferiority?”

Huang Xiaolong laughed, his smile filled with amusement.

“Please wait–” Manager Zhao conferred with several other Appraisers for a moment.

In a very short time, a conclusion was reached.

“Hmm~ Young Master Xia, as well as this little friend, after our discussion and evaluation, we have reached a unanimous decision regarding which of your divine artifacts triumphs,” said Manager Zhao with a slight smile.

The entire auction hall fell deathly silent!
