The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine

Chapter 292: Chapter 292 Construction Site (Fifth Update)

“You lured me to Binhai City, and then arranged for someone to insult me. How do you consider yourselves good people!?” Master Ren was thoroughly infuriated and intent on seeking revenge through wealth. “Besides, whoever is able doesn’t lack resources, and there’s nothing much to say about that!”

Lin Jianfeng thought for a few moments, then cast his gaze on Huang Xiaolong. “Little Long, what do you say? If you agree to compete with this man, my Lin Family is willing to wager the ‘Quintet Mirror of Stability’ and ‘Lei Ji Talisman’!”

Lin Jianfeng was a decisive man who saw potential in Huang Xiaolong, and was willing to stake high on him.

The others present in the hall felt their hearts clench at the thought of gambling two priceless treasures — the risk seemed a bit too high.

Huang Xiaolong gave a teasing look at Master Ren and murmured. “It seems you’re ready to lose everything and flee back to the island with your tail between your legs… Alright, I’ll play along!”

Pausing, Huang Xiaolong then grinned at Master Ren, “If you lose, what will you wager?”

Master Ren snarled back, “What do you want?”

“You possess a Feng Shui magic artifact. If you lose, you will hand over this artifact to me. However, since I will be staking two artifacts on my side and you only have one, if you lose… you will not only give me the Feng Shui magic artifact, but also kneel and bark like a dog a hundred times,” Huang Xiaolong proposed in high spirits.

“You… you… you…” Master Ren was both shocked and angry.

He was shocked that Huang Xiaolong managed to discern that he had a high-quality Feng Shui magic artifact on him.

He was infuriated that Huang Xiaolong would demand he kneel and bark like a dog… the humiliation was too much!

“If you’re too scared to gamble, just slink back to the island,” Huang Xiaolong chuckled.

As the saying goes, fortune favors the bold. Master Ren believed the Feng Shui artifact he carried was no match for either the ‘Quintet Mirror of Stability’ or the ‘Lei Ji Talisman’.

This was a risk that could very well see him doubling his winnings. If he won, he’d hit the jackpot!

And if he lost?

Master Ren never considered the possibility of losing!

After all, he was incredibly competent in Feng Shui studies and had been handed down the true teachings from his master!

“Very well! I accept your wager! Let’s head to that construction site immediately!” Master Ren stood up and walked straight out of the hall.

Lin Jianfeng, along with others from the Lin Family, followed suit. He then turned to Lin Jing, “Xiao Jing, explain the situation of that site to Little Long in detail. We cannot afford to lose this battle!”

“Little Long, come, let me explain it to you.” Lin Jing took Huang Xiaolong aside and began to lay out the situation.

Apparently, Binhai City government had planned a new district, also an economic development zone, in recent years. According to their five-year plan, this area would soon become the busiest and most important district in Binhai, significantly contributing to the GDP and fiscal revenue of Binhai.

The Lin Family had used a lot of connections and resources to secure a large piece of land in this new district, which was also the most valuable golden spot.

They planned to build office buildings, commercial shops, skyscrapers, and residential communities on this land.

But as soon as construction began on this land, five workers died on the very first day!

Then, unusual incidents kept on happening, either workers got injured or the excavation equipment inexplicably broke down. In short, the situation was eerily strange.

Now, the construction company was too scared to continue their work.

It’s important to note that this piece of land was of central importance. It was the most vital spot in the new district’s planning. The city government was extremely dissatisfied with the delay in construction. If it weren’t for the Lin Family’s standing in Binhai, this piece of land would have already been reclaimed by the government.

Currently, the government had given the Lin Family half a month. If they didn’t start construction within that time frame, then the land would be reclaimed and auctioned off to other families or businesses. This would cause the Lin Family a substantial economic loss.

The Lin Family believed that there were some Feng Shui issues with this particular land. In order to deal with the situation, they had spent a lot of money to hire ‘Master Ren’, the disciple of the chief Feng Shui master from the island.

“Ah, I see, Sister Jing. Let’s go to that construction site.” Huang Xiaolong casually directed.

“Little Long, do you have confidence in defeating this Master Ren? That guy is becoming more and more detestable. He is just scum in human form.” Lin Jing looked at Huang Xiaolong with a serious look.

“Of course, I do!” Huang Xiaolong replied confidently. “That’s right, Sister Jing, you hit the nail on the head. That guy is indeed scum. Imagine him trying to woo Sister Jing. He has some nerve!”

“Pfft… let me guess, was it Zicong who filled you in? Little Long, don’t worry. My eyes are perfectly fine. I would never fall for such a fool who is full of himself.” Lin Jing broke into a beautiful smile, looking like a heavenly immortal, leaving Huang Xiaolong utterly stunned.

“Alright, Little Long, stop looking dumbfounded. Let’s go to the site now.” Lin Jing shot Huang Xiaolong a flirtatious glance.

“Sister, teacher, I will drive us to the site.” Lin Zicong volunteered.

So Lin Zicong drove Huang Xiaolong, Lin Jing, and Yang Kai to the site.

The land covered several hundred acres. Currently, there were many excavation machines, mechanical equipment, and construction materials scattered around. Some curious workers squatted around the perimeter, smoking and watching the commotion with intrigue.

In the center of the site, a ritual altar had been set up.

Master Ren stood proudly beside the altar, looking conceited and unruly.

Lin Jianfeng and the others stood beside him, their expressions solemn and unwelcoming.

“Hmph! After I’ve rectified the Feng Shui here, the economic benefits it’ll bring to the Lin Family will be worth tens of billions, at least. What does wagering two mere Feng Shui artifacts even mean in comparison?” Master Ren declared arrogantly.

“Heh…” Lin Jianfeng just smirked in response.

Huang Xiaolong and Lin Jing walked into the site and approached the altar.

Huang Xiaolong’s eyes narrowed slightly. He could perceive an intense yin energy blanketing the site. It was already 5 or 6 o’clock in the afternoon, but the ying energy was as oppressive as smog, obscuring vision.

“Heh… I find it hard to believe that an amateur Feng Shui master from the island can deal with this magnitude of yin energy,” Huang Xiaolong said with a small smile.

When he approached, Master Ren gave Huang Xiaolong a sinister glance, “Alright, without delaying further, who will go first? You or me?”

“Hahahaha… either way is fine. Why don’t you go first? I’m curious to see your skills.” Huang Xiaolong teased with a smile.

“Get ready to hand over those two magic artifacts to me! Hahaha!” Master Ren boasted incredibly. He took out a compass.

He held the compass in his left hand and formed the Five Elements sign with his right, stepping in accordance with the Eight Trigrams method. As he mumbled some words and walked around the site, he used the compass to diagnose what exactly was wrong with this piece of land that was affecting its Feng Shui.

The Lin Family watched nervously. If Master Ren found the problem and resolved it, not only would they have to hand over the ‘Quintet Mirror of Stability’ and ‘Lei Ji Talisman’ to him, but considering his narrow-minded personality, he would most definitely humiliate and disgrace the Lin Family!

Lin Jianfeng studied Huang Xiaolong’s expression, only to see him looking extremely confident, watching Master Ren with an amused grin, as if he was watching a clown perform at a circus.

Just then, the needle on Master Ren’s compass suddenly moved, pointing in the southeast direction!

“Hahahahaha! I found it!” Master Ren exploded into laughter, springing towards the direction indicated by the needle.
