The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine

Chapter 658: Chapter 658: Lake full of Water Ghosts!

A large crowd slowly approached the Azure Dragon Pond.

Wind whistled from all directions, grinding like a millstone.

Finally!

A large expanse of the lake appeared before everyone’s eyes!

It was a lake that spanned over ten acres. On the surface of the lake, a ghastly aura surges wildly, causing ripples. When the wind rolled over the surface of the lake, it emitted a terrifying sound like the wailing of vengeful spirits.

This is the Azure Dragon Pond!

The edge of the pond was extremely cold, similar to the gusty winds of Antarctica.

Inside the lake, plant-like structures similar to lotus flowers were seen growing. Their bodies were black, as exquisite as if they were carved from black jade. In this place with extremely dense Yin energy, where not even grass could grow, these black lotuses were thriving, exhibiting a terrifying vitality!

The Black Lotus seemed to feed on yin energy, absorbing large amounts of it, giving off an ominous, gloomy feeling, it was as if they were the demonic lotus from hell.

“It’s the ‘Yin Petal Grass’…” Bian Mudong’s expression twitched slightly, and a trace of joy appeared in his eyes. “I didn’t expect that there would be so many ‘Yin Petal Grass’ in this Azure Dragon Pond… not bad. These extremely Yin spirit grasses can only grow in extremely Yin places. They are good for refining high-grade Dan medicines, and success rates are very high. They can nicely neutralize the medicinal properties of Yang medicinal herbs, playing a supportive role in creating a balance. It is even possible to refine four-marked Dan medicine.”

To the Bian Family, the value of the “Yin Petal Grass” is extremely high, and it is beyond any monetary measure. The Azure Dragon Pond had too much “Yin Petal Grass”, which would greatly benefit the Bian Family.

Compared to that, although they had lost some manpower in gathering the herbs, what did a few deaths matter in contrast to the value of these “Yin Petal Grass”?

It was worthwhile!

“Where is that Yin snake?” Bian Mudong was in no hurry to order people to gather herbs, but turned his head to ask Zhuo Lengzhou.

At this moment, the Azure Dragon Pond appeared extremely tranquil, so quiet it seemed abnormal.

There was no sign of the legendary Yin snake that could command wind and rain.

However, anything unusual typically spelled danger. Danger often lurked under the surface of peace. One needed to be mentally alert at all times and not let their guard down.

Zhuo Lengzhou stepped forward, looked at the lake, and said with a smirk, “Perhaps the Yin snake is lurking at the bottom of the pond, along with the vengeful spirits. No matter, I will force all of them out and catch them all at once!”

After speaking, Zhuo Lengzhou pulled out a talisman bursting with spiritual energy. He paced around the edge of the lake, muttering incantations as if performing a ritual.

“Little Long, this guy is bluffing…” Xia Ying whispered in Huang Xiaolong’s ear. “You and he are competing on who hunts down the Yin snake first… it’s best to strike first. Don’t let him get the upper hand.”

“Little Long, have you sensed the presence of the Yin snake yet?” Ma Chuxia asked anxiously.

“Don’t rush.” Huang Xiaolong looked at Zhuo Lengzhou teasingly.

The next second, the talisman in Zhuo Lengzhou’s hand self-ignited, and he threw it into the pond.

Boom~~~!!!!!!

A flash of golden light!

Dense patterns floated around on the surface of the lake, waves of Taoist and Soul Power were oppressing towards the bottom of the pond.

Seeing Zhuo Lengzhou’s skill, Bian Mudong couldn’t help but nod slightly, a hint of praise appearing in his eyes.

Gurgle gurgle~ Gurgle gurgle~ Gurgle gurgle~~~

The surface of the lake began to bubble as if boiling.

As ripples spread, a large number of pale-faced water ghosts suddenly burst out from the bottom of the lake, sticking out their heads, whispering to each other while grinning maliciously at the people by the lake. Their ghostly eyes were filled with greed.

All of a sudden, the tranquil Azure Dragon Pond was in chaos, with hundreds of water ghosts appearing.

All of the Bian family members were martial artists, among whom were more than a dozen ancient martial Grandmasters, protected by their True Qi, they were immune to all evils, and naturally, they would not fear ordinary vengeful spirits.

“Taoist Master Zhuo, eliminate these minor ghosts.” Bian Muyan calmly said with a smile.

“Alright.” Zhuo Lengzhou nodded arrogantly. He immediately turned to the water ghosts sticking their heads out and shouted, “You tiny ghosts, do not desire the mortal world! Leave quickly!”

The water ghosts, obviously, did not respect Zhuo Lengzhou. Not only did they not want to leave, but they also made sharp and harsh laughter, as if they were about to jump out of the water and bite people.

“Hmph!” There was a flash of murderous intent on Zhuo Lengzhou’s face, and he directly threw a talisman into the lake.

Boom~~~~!!!!!!

The talisman exploded, Yang energy surged like a tide, crazily killing the water ghosts.

The entire lake seemed to be on fire, with flames shooting up to the sky.

However, this fire is only effective against the undead and does not destroy the “Yin Petal Grass”.

In an instant, the water ghosts howled with pain, their facial features twisted grotesquely. They wanted to struggle ashore, or escape back into the water, yet they were incapable of doing so. They could only allow the Yang-infused Dao power to execute them, turning each water ghost into pus and completely shattering their souls.

In just ten breaths of time, the Canglong Lake returned to its tranquillity as if no water ghost ever emerged.

“Hahahaha~~~” Bian Mudong finally laughed out loud. “Great! Taoist Master Zhuo, inviting you to help us collect medicines was indeed the right decision. Your ability to drive away ghosts and eliminate evil is unmatched in Huaxia!”

Zhuo Lengzhou was flattered and responded proudly, “It’s just a small trick. However, our Zhuo Family’s inherited Taoist techniques were indeed the best in Huaxia, ranking even above the Ma Family.”

At this, Ma Chuxia became slightly angry and said coldly, “It was merely a few small ghosts.”

“Taoist Master Zhuo, what about the Yin Snake?” Bian Mudong asked.

“It’s strange, I’ve used talisman scripts to drive out all the malevolent spirits from Canglong Lake, but the Yin Snake is nowhere to be found…” Zhuo Lengzhou responded puzzled. “Theoretically, if the Yin Snake lurked within Canglong Lake, it should have surfaced like the water ghosts earlier… Could it be that the rumors were unfounded, and there is no ‘Yin Snake’ guarding the ‘Yin Petal Grass’ in Canglong Lake?”

“Oh? Taoist Master Zhuo, are you suggesting that there is no Yin Snake?” Bian Mudong frowned.

“Well… I can’t say for certain that there isn’t one.” Zhuo Lengzhou pondered.

“Good enough~~~” Bian Mudong’s gaze swept towards the charming “Yin Petal Grass” on the lake surface and finally ordered. “You guys, go harvest the Yin Petal Grass. Be quick. Don’t worry, even if there is a Yin Snake, it would be no match for us.”

Indeed, martial artists who cultivated to the realm of grandmaster and condensed True Qi within themselves could exert a force of thousands of pounds with a single strike while also being capable of destroying people from a distance.

Whether it was a Yin Snake or a Yang Snake, a single strike would blow it up instantly.

“Cousin, we’ll go.” The three Bian Family members who had deceived Ma Chuxia with fake medicine volunteered eagerly, readying to dive into the lake with about a dozen half-step grandmasters to harvest the “Yin Petal Grass”.

Bian Mudong nodded slightly, then whispered in a low voice, “After picking the ‘Yin Petal Grass,’ immediately ambush Huang Xiaolong. We must capture him alive, anyone else may be killed without mercy.”

The Bian Family members nodded, with bloodthirsty murderous intent emerging in their eyes.

Right then, the three grandmasters and more than a dozen half-step grandmasters plunged directly into the lake water.

The cold lake water seeped into their bones and the dark energy was overwhelmingly thick. They had to fight quickly, harvest the “Yin Petal Grass” as fast as possible, and then get ashore. Otherwise, soaking for too long could result in lingering illnesses.

Watching the Bian family members enter the water, Huang Xiaolong grinned revealing an amusing expression.

The harvesting was progressing quite smoothly. In just over a dozen breaths of time, the “Yin Petal Grass” on the lake surface was almost completely harvested.

However~!!!!

Boom~~~~~!!!!

The entire lake surface was boiling with Yin energy!

A large whirlpool started spreading out from the middle of the lake!

The next second!

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

Countless water ghosts emerged from the water again!

This time, there weren’t just hundreds of water ghosts, but thousands, tens of thousands!

They covered the entire lake surface, leaving no room to spare!

Moreover, some of the water ghosts wore orange clothes, some wore yellow, and some even wore blue and purple!

Resentment filled the lake, and a chilly wind blew across the moonlight, revealing countless white ghost faces!

The water ghosts bared their teeth and began to viciously attack the Bian family members inside the lake, with dozens or even hundreds of water ghosts clinging to one person, opening their large mouths and biting down.

Water ghosts even yanked at their legs from below.

“Ahh~~~!!!!”

Horrendous screams filled the lake surface, echoing with the desperate shrieks of the Bian Family members.

Squirt! Squirt! Squirt!

The faces and bodies of the Bian family members were mangled and bitten, blood spewing out.@@novelbin@@

In an instant, the lake surface was filled with the smell of blood, and the lake water was dyed a bright red!
