Urban Romantic Divine Doctor

”This kid, he seems extraordinary. Have I truly encountered a prodigy disciple?” the Painting Saint thought to himself.

He had traversed the Netherworld for many years and witnessed countless talented individuals, but none of them qualified to enter his tutelage.

Even Xu Wendong initially seemed unworthy to be his apprentice in the Painting Saint’s eyes.

Thus, he posed an almost impossible challenge from a common perspective.

To grasp Gold Chaos in three shichen—even the Painting Saint at his peak couldn’t achieve that!

As time passed, the atmosphere in the room grew more tense.

Xu Wendong immersed himself in understanding Gold Chaos, seemingly isolated from the outside world.

Suddenly, he jolted awake, his eyes flashing with brilliance.

At that moment, using the Nine Netherworlds Manual, its powerful assistance made him feel he had utterly grasped the runic mysteries of Gold Chaos.

He roared, his voice echoing in the room like a giant bell.

A sheet of Fourth-grade Talisman Paper appeared instantly before him, snowy white and emitting a faint glow.

”What? Starting to engrave already? This kid’s comprehension is remarkably strong!”

The Painting Saint was quite surprised; his shadow trembled, as if he couldn’t believe what he was witnessing.

In his long life, he hadn’t seen someone so exceptionally talented—ready to begin engraving such a complex Gold Chaos Netherworld Talisman within such a short time.

Indeed, Xu Wendong had begun carving the Nether Talisman.

His eyes were filled with focus and determination, but his hands displayed some clumsiness.

He felt his Divine Soul Power was too scattered, unable to fully engrave the runes.

Immediately, he unhesitatingly took out the Painting Saint Carving Knife.

With this tool, he could concentrate his scattered Divine Soul Power and greatly increase the success rate of engraving the Nether Talisman.

”Carve!”

Xu Wendong shouted powerfully, his voice full of strength and resolve.

Instantly, the Painting Saint Carving Knife in his hand began to engrave runes on the talisman paper.

In the past, his talisman engravings were superficial, but now he carved deeply and meticulously.

As the Painting Saint Carving Knife slowly moved across the talisman paper, carving out the runes of Gold Chaos, bursts of brilliance erupted from the paper.

The brilliance was dazzling and seemed to emanate from a mysterious realm.

Xu Wendong appeared to bathe in the radiant glow, his face shining with concentration and persistence.

Mystical energy fluttered through the room, followed by a terrifying force quietly rising around the talisman paper.

The force contained endless energy, creating an intense sense of pressure.

With just a glance, the Painting Saint knew Xu Wendong was close to success.

However, unfortunately, he still couldn’t achieve perfect engraving due to several minor errors.

In the Nether Talisman Dao, even minor mistakes can lead to irreparable consequences.

Yet, achieving this level of Gold Chaos completion so swiftly made even the discerning Painting Saint inwardly admire him.

In the Painting Saint’s view, Xu Wendong was undoubtedly a genius rare within the Nether Talisman Dao!

”Bang!”

A dull sound like thunder shattered the room’s silence.

The runes began burning fiercely, and the talisman paper quickly turned to ash.

Xu Wendong’s Divine Soul Power began dissipating like a tide, and the Painting Saint Carving Knife slightly trembled uncontrollably.

All of this heartlessly declared Xu Wendong’s failure in engraving the Fourth Grade Nether Talisman Gold Chaos.

”How...could this be...” Xu Wendong’s face was puzzled, his eyes filled with reluctance and confusion.

He truly felt he had comprehended the mysteries of Gold Chaos, so why did he still fall short?

”Hahaha, haste makes waste, kid. Did you really think you could succeed?” The Painting Saint’s hearty laughter echoed in the room, containing a hint of jest and pride.

His form was ephemeral yet exuded a powerful aura tempered by time.

Despite Gold Chaos being merely a Fourth Grade Nether Talisman, it was a masterpiece from the Painting Saint, containing many truths of the Nether Talisman Dao.

It was the essence he condensed after countless research and insights over the years, upon attaining his saintly status.

At Xu Wendong’s current realm, if he succeeded in replicating on his first attempt, would he not be an unparalleled prodigy, rare in the world?

”Although you failed on your first try, you still show great talent.” The Painting Saint’s voice gradually calmed, with an undertone of praise.

”This Saint has seen it: you’re a bit of a talent, kid. If you can engrave Gold Chaos within ten attempts, I might consider taking you as a registered disciple.” The Painting Saint spoke casually, as if it were an insignificant matter.

But in truth, he spent his life researching the Nether Talisman Dao, delving deep into this path, and hadn’t encountered such a gifted genius in years.

In his heart, Xu Wendong’s appearance was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring ripples upon ripples.

However, Xu Wendong paid no heed to the Painting Saint’s words, clenching his jaw, his eyes revealing unwavering determination.

He swiftly took out another sheet of Fourth-grade Talisman Paper, snowy white and emitting faint spiritual energy fluctuations.

”I already wasted one; I can’t afford to waste another.” Xu Wendong silently vowed in his heart, then took a deep breath, the breath seeming to stir the air in the room.

He mobilized all his soul power, each strand flowing like spirited sprites within him. Without hesitation, he began engraving again with the Painting Saint Carving Knife.

With the experience gained, Xu Wendong’s second engraving proceeded smoothly.

The Painting Saint Carving Knife in his hand danced nimbly like a brush across the talisman paper.

The Painting Saint watched with amused interest, the corner of his phantom mouth lifting into a playful smile, as if anticipating a brilliant spectacle.

The Gold Chaos held his unique Daoist charm, not something easily comprehended overnight.

In the Painting Saint’s view, if Xu Wendong succeeded in less than ten attempts, his future would be limitless, reaching at least the achievements of an Eighth Grade Nether Talisman Master.

If he could achieve it within five attempts, becoming a Ninth Grade Nether Talisman Master wouldn’t be impossible.

According to the Painting Saint’s estimation, Xu Wendong should succeed around the eighth or ninth attempt, projecting future accomplishments as an Eighth Grade Nether Talisman Master.

However, this time every move Xu Wendong made was nearly perfect.

Every stroke he engraved was smooth and precise, achieving supreme perfection.

Even in some less crucial steps, he cleverly infused his unique insights, integrating personal understanding into it.

As he engraved, the room’s temperature seemed to rise gradually, and the air grew increasingly tense!
