The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine
Chapter 1317 - Chapter 1317 Chapter 1317 Shortcut

Chapter 1317: Chapter 1317: Shortcut Chapter 1317: Chapter 1317: Shortcut “Hehe,” seeing his plan had worked, Huang Xiaolong tossed the talismans in his hand as if he was flipping through a stack of cash, the crisp sound echoing as he laughed. “Each talisman embodies a burst of sharp, golden energy that can slice through anything, just like an Immortal Sword.”

“My lord truly has divine skills!” Jiang Yuan flattered him on the side. “The lord actually sealed golden energy into the talismans, it’s simply limitless mana! Even in our Immortal Realm, the top Profound Immortals don’t have this ability. Not to mention the Immortal Emperors, only a few top-ranked could do this. Even Sword Immortal Emperor and Purple Flame Immortal Emperor can’t subjugate this rampant gold energy at will and refine it into talisman treasures like the lord!”

“Master, you make it look so easy!” Xu Fu immediately knelt to worship.

“Amazing, truly amazing. Huang Xiaolong, you indeed possess unfathomable divine skills,” even the Third Crown Prince of the Long Clan had finally developed deep admiration for Huang Xiaolong. “We in the Long Clan are not adept at crafting such talisman treasures. Although I am a Dragon King, I cannot do it either.”

“That is because everyone has their own expertise,” Huang Xiaolong simply laughed it off.

These methods to create talismans were something Huang Xiaolong had mastered since he was young. After acquiring the Hell Planet, his technique in crafting talismans became even more sophisticated, filled with mysteriousness like that of ghosts and gods.

“A golden energy talisman, killing a low-level Profound Immortal or low-level Demon Saint, that’s no problem. If I throw a bunch of them, hehe, even an Immortal Emperor would end in a sorry state,” Huang Xiaolong laughed heartily, immediately followed by pulling out stack after stack of blank talisman paper.

Drawing, throwing, collecting golden energy.

With the entire process down pat, Huang Xiaolong was doing it as smoothly as the flowing clouds and flowing water.

Thus, countless streams of golden energy were sealed by Huang Xiaolong.

By noon, Huang Xiaolong had already sealed tens of thousands of streams of golden energy. He forcefully created an absolutely safe zone within the Xuanjin vein area, calm and quiet, with not a single strand of golden energy causing trouble.

“Let’s go, we’re also going to plant the Wood God Fruit,” Huang Xiaolong beckoned.

Immediately afterward, Huang Xiaolong, accompanied by five slaves, as well as the Third Crown Prince and the Ninth Princess, flew into that pristine area.

Everyone sat cross-legged, sowing the seeds and irrigating with energy.

Looking at the people of the Immortal Realm and the Demon Race, after their tireless efforts, they once again cultivated numerous branches over one meter tall.

Under the sunlight, each branch glistened like jade, the leaves shone like agate. At the very top of the branches, a green fruit grew, with lines of golden light winding around the skin like flowing water.

“Put more effort!” Sword Immortal Emperor encouraged morale, “We must cultivate more mature Wood God Fruits before tomorrow’s sunrise!”

“Huh?” Purple Flame Immortal Emperor’s eyes showed a peculiar glow, staring intently at Huang Xiaolong’s side. “Sword Immortal Emperor, look, that Huang Xiaolong has actually sealed a large amount of golden energy into the talismans, thus freeing up a patch of land–this guy, he’s really cunning and unpredictable!”

“Hmph!” Sword Immortal Emperor snorted coldly, his face dark. “It’s just a mere technique of making talismans! Such a trivial path!”

Sword Immortal Emperor, too proud to admit his shortcomings in talisman crafting, belittled it as a trivial path.

Many Profound Immortals, including Purple Flame Immortal Emperor, somewhat disagreed with Sword Immortal Emperor’s statement.

Back to Huang Xiaolong’s side, without any obstacles or disturbances, the planting of the Wood God Fruit was distraction-free, and his efficiency was doubled.

Huang Xiaolong multitasked, continually collecting golden energy.

By his side, stacks of talismans, each sealed with golden energy, piled up like a Great Wall.

“These Wood God Fruits need energy to nurture them… and this golden energy counts as one form of it. Let’s give it a try…” Huang Xiaolong suddenly had a eureka moment.

No sooner said than done, Huang Xiaolong picked up a talisman and flicked his wrist.

Snap!

The talisman spontaneously combusted, turning into an unmatched sharp golden light, which Huang Xiaolong controlled with his will, piercing directly into the ground like a serpent.

The golden light merged with a Wood God Fruit seed deep underground.

Then, something strange happened!

Not only did the Wood God Fruit not get destroyed by the golden energy, but it devoured the energy voraciously as if famished, sucking in the golden energy!

In a blink, a stream of golden energy was completely absorbed by the Wood God Fruit seed!

After absorbing the golden energy, this Wood God Fruit seed began to swell rapidly, sprouting a branch that broke through the soil!

On top of the branch, buds appeared, which rapidly grew into glinting gold leaves, and the fruit at the end of the branch swelled up like a balloon!

“Hahaha!” Huang Xiaolong laughed uncontrollably.

Those nearby all stared dumbfounded at the branch.

This was a seed Huang Xiaolong had just sown, yet its growth speed was countless times faster than those previously nurtured with energy for a good while!

In other words, a seed nurtured with golden energy was growing at an unrivaled pace. It even outperformed the seeds cultivated earlier by the Immortal Realm and the Demon Race, both in strength and development!

“Master!” Xu Fu trembled with excitement. “Master! So it turns out! It turns out the golden energy flowing through this Xuanjin vein area is… is the most excellent energy for nourishing Wood God Fruit seeds! It’s more suited than any Spiritual Energy, Demon Energy, or Dragon Energy!”

“I knew it,” Huang Xiaolong even felt a bit smug. “Immortal Emperor Slays The Heavens wouldn’t guide us here for no reason–this golden energy is in fact the opportunity he left for us. To successfully cultivate Wood God Fruits, we must utilize this golden energy.”

Having said that, Huang Xiaolong, without hesitation, started throwing one talisman after another sealed with golden energy, into the ground.

Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!

Branches burst forth from the ground densely packed, like bamboo shoots after rain.

Everyone was astonished.

Especially the people and horses of the Immortal Realm and the Demon Race, when they saw this scene, they almost spat out their old blood.

Damn it, we’ve been toiling away here, pouring our hearts and souls into planting, exhausting energy and spirit, and it was only with great difficulty that we watched the seeds take root and sprout, growing little by little.

But you, on the other hand, just casually threw down a few talismans, and the fruits matured just like that!

That really isn’t fair!

Soon, something happened that drove them to despair–

Huang Xiaolong successfully cultivated the first fully ripe Wood God Fruit!

Unlike the dried fruits, a mature Wood God Fruit was about the size of an apple, its body suffused with the Spiritual Energy of wood, emanating golden light, as if it contained a blazing sun!

Utterly extraordinary!

“Ha ha ha ha~~~ It’s so simple, indeed, terribly simple!” Huang Xiaolong plucked the Wood God Fruit and played with it lovingly, as if he couldn’t bear to part with it.

Then, he tossed it into his mouth.

He crunched it down.

Mmm, sweet and juicy, the taste was much better than the dried fruit, the fresh and cool aura of the wood’s spirit filled every cell in Huang Xiaolong’s body, and like the gentle undulating caress of a bewitching lady, it massaged Huang Xiaolong’s soul.

“Hmm? Not bad, the Wood God Fruit actually has the effect of strengthening the soul~~ good, it seems I need to eat more of this~~” Huang Xiaolong laughed.

No sooner had he spoken than dozens of Wood God Fruit fell to the ground as they ripened.

“Here you go, Ninth Princess, I couldn’t let you call me brother-in-law in vain, could I?” Huang Xiaolong smiled teasingly and handed her a large stack of talismans sealed with golden energy.

Ninth Princess was overjoyed. She took the talismans and smiled sweetly. “Thank you, brother-in-law. Rest assured, I’ll definitely put in a good word for you in front of my Seventh Sister!”

“Hehehe~~ so then~~” The Third Crown Prince was both embarrassed and delighted. “Brother-in-law, you’re truly brilliant, full of wisdom and invincible luck~~~!”

Well, the Third Crown Prince had fully accepted Huang Xiaolong now.

His words were not mere flattery but genuine admiration.

Huang Xiaolong acted generously, handing over a stack of talismans sealed with golden energy to the Third Crown Prince.

After that, Huang Xiaolong scattered blank talisman paper like snowflakes, capturing golden energy with abandon.

He was like a seasoned fisherman casting a wide net, always hauling in a full catch.

“This~ this~~~” The Sword Immortal Emperor’s eyes were filled with shock and envy. “I didn’t expect there to be such a trick!”

“Watch me!” The Purple Flame Immortal Emperor reached out like a mountain, grabbing several strands of golden energy from the air.

The golden energy was rebellious and unyielding. In the palm of the Purple Flame Immortal Emperor, it writhed and sliced, making a clanging sound like the clash of gold and iron.

Although the Purple Flame Immortal Emperor was supremely powerful, he could only suppress or crush these strands of golden energy, unlike Huang Xiaolong who could tame them.

With great difficulty, he plunged the strands of golden energy directly into the ground.

Boom~~~~~!!!!!!!!

The ground exploded into a crater, and rather than being absorbed by the Wood God Fruit, the golden energy exploded like gunpowder, breaking many of the nearby branches in half.

“Damn it!” The Purple Flame Immortal Emperor was furious, slapping out his hand and scattering the golden energy around with his palm, breaking it into patchy golden specks that drifted away with the wind.

“It seems that to nurture the Wood God Fruit seeds, we must capture, refine, and tame these golden energy strands! Brutal force won’t do!” The Sword Immortal Emperor also gave it a try, but ended up with failure. Even though he knew that the golden energy was the best fertilizer for the Wood God Fruit seeds, he was unable to make use of it!

At a complete loss!

The Demon Race side was even more helpless.

All they could do was watch Huang Xiaolong, the Third Crown Prince, and Ninth Princess consecutively produce fruits that were as pleasing as the golden sun.

“Huang Xiaolong~~” The Purple Flame Immortal Emperor gave Huang Xiaolong a friendly smile. “Could you also share some of the talismans sealed with golden energy with us? Of course, we can trade goods for them.”

The two Demon Kings were also ingratiating themselves. “Huang Xiaolong, you’re a great talent, actually thinking of such a shortcut~~ We of the Demon Race are willing to form good relations with Earth, even becoming allies is fine~~ that… that… please give us some of those talismans!”

“Ha ha ha ha~~~” Huang Xiaolong laughed out loud, his laughter filled with a hint of sarcasm. “Well~~ well, both Immortal Emperors and Demon Kings~~ within the Jupiter Palace, you insisted over and over that there’s only one key to the next realm, and there’s only one most important treasure on Jupiter~~ we should each do our own thing, plant the Wood God Fruit, and in the end see who has more fruits to get the key and treasures~~ that is, we are in competition~~~ you really think I, Huang Xiaolong, am a fool? To just give you the ‘fertilizer’ that nourishes the Wood God Fruit for free? Wouldn’t I be aiding the enemy?”

Hearing this, the people of both the Demon Race and the Immortal Realm were dumbfounded.

Well, what Huang Xiaolong said did make a lot of sense.

“If you weren’t all about the competition, I wouldn’t mind sharing this shortcut. Too bad.” Huang Xiaolong shook his head as if in regret.

“Pfft~~~!” The Sword Immortal Emperor, who first proposed the competition, was so angry he spat out a mouthful of blood!

This time, he truly shot himself in the foot!
