The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine
Chapter 1369 - Chapter 1369 Chapter 1369 The Method to Prolong Life

Chapter 1369: Chapter 1369: The Method to Prolong Life Chapter 1369: Chapter 1369: The Method to Prolong Life Huang Xiaolong led the Treasure Hunters wandering around in this desolate village. It seemed a bit aimless.

Now, every person, including Huang Xiaolong himself, was experiencing a feeling that each day was like a year…

“Each day was like a year” is an exaggerated idiom. But for the Treasure Hunters, it was literally true, and still, it didn’t quite capture their current plight. To be more precise, it should be “Each day was like ten thousand years”…

“With each day that passes, almost ten thousand years of lifespan are lost!” The Sword Immortal Emperor’s complexion turned ashen, filled with despair.

“Alright, Sword Immortal Emperor, you’re an Immortal Emperor, stop your whimpering,” the Dragon Prince, the Third Crown Prince, said with some dissatisfaction. “We must think of a perfect solution~~”

“Since the Sword Immortal Emperor has set up this scenario, there must be a way to solve it,” Huang Xiaolong said with conviction. “There’s no such thing as an unsolvable situation. Right now, the most important thing is that we have to find a way to break this Formation!”

Huang Xiaolong quickly brushed away the depression in his heart, his mood brightening like the sunny sky. “Remember, we must firmly hold our destiny in our own hands, we can’t let anyone control us, including~ the Slaying Heaven Immortal Emperor.”

Hearing Huang Xiaolong’s heartening speech, the Treasure Hunters’ spirits were shocked back to life.

Upon a mental sweep, they discovered that this desolate village didn’t have any living creatures.

Immediately, they soared into the air and flew rapidly out of the desolate village.

Outside the village lay boundless mountain ranges.

Rows of mountains rose and fell unpredictably, like dragons and snakes, incredibly vast.

However, as the Treasure Hunters extended their divine senses, they found the mountains to be eerily quiet, devoid of any trace of life, truly living up to the term “dead mountains.”

“Brother-in-law, this world is permeated with the aura of death everywhere~~ It’s very scary,” the Ninth Princess said with a face full of trepidation.

Huang Xiaolong nodded slightly and then quickened his flight without delay.

The world was still very large, and after flying day and night, they inexplicably still hadn’t left the mountain range.

On the second day’s morning, it turned out that the numbers representing lifespan above everyone’s head had indeed changed!

The dazzling “100” above Huang Xiaolong’s head had become “99”!

“It’s really decreasing!” the Demon King exclaimed in alarm. “Our lifespans are truly reducing!”

The Treasure Hunters wailed in distress.

“Hahaha~~~ Don’t panic, fretting is useless. Rest assured, as long as we can stay for 100 days, and we arrive safely at the next world, the lifespan we’ve lost will be restored. Look at us now, this little bit of discomfort is nothing,” Huang Xiaolong was extremely optimistic.

“There’s no time to waste, let’s quickly fly out of this dead and silent mountain range! These mountains hold nothing extraordinary, they likely aren’t the key to unlocking this deadly situation,” the Purple Flame Immortal Emperor said in a hurry.

“Alright. Let’s continue on our way,” Huang Xiaolong nodded.

The Treasure Hunters, like shooting stars, streaked across the bleak and dim sky.

But would their lives be as ephemeral as those shooting stars?

Three days!

They flew for a full three days!

When the golden number above Huang Xiaolong’s head turned into “97,” finally, ahead there appeared–

A town!!!!

Beyond the mountains, a town emerged!

And, extending their senses, they could clearly detect that within the town, there was the presence of living creatures!

There were signs of life!

It wasn’t a dead town!

“Brother-in-law! There are life signs in the town ahead!” the Third Crown Prince, eyes slightly lighting up, said. “Though the town still has a deathly aura, we’ve found life signs!”

“With this, we should be able to find clues! If there are life signs, perhaps, there might be a method to extend life in this world!” Huang Xiaolong’s insight was incredibly sharp.

He faintly felt, and after analysis and conjecture, that the key to getting through this world lay in–extending life!!!!

A method for extending life!

Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh~~ swoosh swoosh~~

The Treasure Hunters turned into streaks of light, landing in the town.

Indeed, within the town, there were living creatures!

And they were of various kinds!

There were humanoid beings!

Some had black hair and eyes, extremely similar to Earthlings or Immortals!

There were centaur-like types!

There were even those with green skin and red eyes!

And some even resembled merfolk!

…

It appeared that many different civilizations from various parts of the universe had gathered in this town.

And upon a glance, these beings, each one of them, were extremely powerful!

At the very least, they all possessed strength close to that of a Profound Immortal!

Some were even a match for Immortal Emperors, Demon Kings, and Dragon Kings!

“Eh~~ there are no weaklings in this town,” Huang Xiaolong and the others exchanged looks of surprise.

“`

Yet, these creatures, though mighty, all lacked vitality. They appeared listless and weary as if they had been completely drained of their spirit, energy, and soul!

A decayed aura exuded from their bodies!

They all seemed on the brink of death, as if their lifespans had been exhausted and they could extinguish at any moment!

It was as though they were just clinging to their last breath, not yet succumbed to death.

“Uh?” The beings within the town also noticed Huang Xiaolong and the other uninvited guests!

Suddenly, their eyes blazed with intense, greedy looks, fixedly staring at the numbers above the heads of the Treasure Hunters!

They looked just like a group of starving ghosts who had caught sight of a feast!

Quickly, these beings began to stir restlessly, inching closer to the Treasure Hunters!

“Hmph!” Seeing this, the Third Crown Prince let out a fierce snort, his eyes flashing murderously. “What, you’re thinking of laying a hand on us? What a joke! Although you are many and your realms are not weak, your energy is fading, you’re on your last legs. I could wipe you all out with a wave of my hand! If you don’t believe me, you can try!”

Indeed, the fighting capacity of the creatures in the town must have been next to nothing by now. If a battle really broke out, they would be slaughtered by the Treasure Hunters in the blink of an eye. There was no suspense to this!

Hearing the threat from the Third Crown Prince, the greed in the creatures’ eyes was replaced by panic and unwillingness!

Soon after, they dispersed sulkily, gathering in small groups and whispering among themselves, occasionally glancing at the Treasure Hunters with the eyes of desperate, freezing wolves.

Huang Xiaolong observed quietly, his mind filling with doubt.

“Brother-in-law, look, many creatures are setting up stalls.” The Ninth Princess pointed out.

Huang Xiaolong looked over and saw that indeed, many creatures were running stalls, and the stalls were filled with all kinds of treasures!

There were Immortal Artifacts and Formation diagrams! Immortal Technique scrolls! Secrets of Divine Skills! Immortal Pills and medicines!

Each was a treasure of inestimable value!

But right now, these lifeforms in the town were offering them up like junk goods, carelessly displayed on their stalls, attracting no attention.

“Heh heh~~ Interesting.” Huang Xiaolong chuckled softly, then walked toward a man who looked strikingly similar to an Earthling.

This man was also running a stall. He appeared middle-aged with a level of power close to that of the Sword Immortal Emperor, but he was dispirited, sitting behind his stall with heavy sighs.

Seeing Huang Xiaolong and the Treasure Hunters approaching, a strong hope flickered in the man’s eyes. “Sirs… guests from afar~~ have you… have you taken a liking to the treasures on my stall? If so, please feel free to choose. Don’t be shy.”

“Heh~~” Huang Xiaolong approached the stall, smiled, and casually asked, “How are you selling these treasures?”

“It’s negotiable, very negotiable~~” The man’s eyes bulged, suddenly looking ferocious as he stood up. “These are the rare treasures collected with my blood and sweat when I voyaged across the universe! Each one could cause a sensation throughout the cosmos! Look at these Immortal Artifacts; even in the Immortal Realm, they would be snatched up fiercely!”

The Sword Immortal Emperor and the Purple Flame Immortal Emperor both nodded slightly.

Indeed, the quality of the Immortal Artifacts and treasures on the man’s stall was very high.

Before Huang Xiaolong could speak, the man volunteered, “How about this! You transfer 20 days of your lifespan to me, and all these treasures are yours! You see, you have an abundance of life, a whopping 97 days! Just transfer 20 days of your lifespan to me, and it won’t hurt you at all! I don’t want anything else, if you want these treasures, you can only exchange them for your lifespan!”

By the end, the man was almost hysterical!

And other stall-running creatures around also began to howl–“Buy from me! I’ll only take 10 days of your lifespan! Hurry, buy from me! Transfer 10 years of lifespan to me, and all these treasures are yours! All yours!”

“Silence!” The Sword Immortal Emperor bellowed in anger.

Terrifying pressure swept outwards!

The barely alive creatures were immediately intimidated and fell deathly silent.

At this moment, Huang Xiaolong had even bigger question marks in his mind!

These guys looked like they were on their last gasp, but why hadn’t they died off completely?

Could it be that they had a way to extend their lives?

Or perhaps, their natural lifespans were extremely long, far exceeding that of us Treasure Hunters, so they could continue to deplete it in this world?

“I want to ask, how long have you stayed in this world?” Huang Xiaolong inquired.

“This~~~” The man choked for a moment, then frowned deeply, as if thinking hard, but soon gave up and shook his head repeatedly. “I can’t remember, no longer remember. Maybe a few thousand years, ah… maybe over ten thousand years~~ I don’t remember. But it’s no longer important~~”

“What? You’ve stayed in this world for such a long time?” The Treasure Hunters were shocked.

You must understand, Treasure Hunters are top-notch powerhouses in the universe, turning lifespans into scores, which total only a few dozen at most, with Huang Xiaolong being an exceptional case with 100 points.

In this world, one day of stay consumes one point.

This man had stayed at least for thousands of years; why hadn’t he died? To say his lifespan was N times that of Huang Xiaolong’s, able to withstand such depletion–that would be absolutely impossible! The difference in their lifespans couldn’t be that great!

Why could he still endure?

There must be a mystery! Definitely a mystery!

“You have a method to extend life!” Purple Flame Immortal Emperor exclaimed!

The Treasure Hunters’ eyes lit up as if they had found a clue to break the deadlock!

“Extend life?” The man smiled enigmatically. “Yes, we can extend our lives in this world. We hang on to a breath, not dying~~ But it’s almost the same as being a living dead, we haven’t felt the vitality of life for a long time, we’re just puppets! Just zombies!”

“Sister-in-law! Now it’s good! As long as we can find out the method of extending life in this world, we can stay for 100 days! These guys, having stayed for thousands to tens of thousands of years without dying, should make our 100-day stay quite easy!” The Ninth Princess said tremulously.

Huang Xiaolong’s heart stirred, and he continued in an unperturbed tone, “Could you tell us this method of extending life?”

The next second–

“Exchange it for lifespan!!!!!!”

Almost all the creatures in the town mustered their remaining strength and roared hoarsely.

“Exchange it for lifespan! Let us feel the long-lost breath of life again!”
