Chapter 397: Chapter 397
Zhang Xiaohao touched his nose and smiled bitterly. He had truly been trying to save someone, without a shred of ulterior motive, yet in the blink of an eye, he had turned into a thief.
"Son-in-law, the meal is ready for you," Sister Zhou said with a smile.
"Thank you, Sister Zhou!" Zhang Xiaohao replied with a smile.
"Old Sun, later you take this prescription list and fetch a month’s supply of medicines," Zhang Xiaohao ordered.
He handed over the herbal ingredient list he had just written from his pocket.
"As you command, sir!" Sun Dafu replied respectfully.
"One more thing, when Zhou Yating comes down later, tell her to rest at home all day and not to go out," Zhang Xiaohao instructed.
"Understood." Sun Dafu nodded. Fınd the newest release on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝕟𝕖𝕥
Picking up his chopsticks, Zhang Xiaohao began to eat.
After finishing the meal, it was already past the mid-morning period.
"It’s almost eleven o’clock already; I’ll skip lunch," Zhang Xiaohao muttered irritably.
He then leisurely walked towards the outside.
"Tiandu Hospital, huh? It’s time to reclaim some interest," Zhang Xiaohao said with murderous intent.
Zhang Xiaohao, eating a candied hawthorn, stopped outside Tiandu Hospital.
Looking up at the towering building, the parking lot was filled with various luxury cars.
Zhang Xiaohao revealed a cold smirk.
He casually finished off the remaining few candied hawthorns, bit his fingertip, squeezed out a drop of blood, and casually cast it towards the southwest direction.
The White Tiger governs slaughter; this time Zhang Xiaohao was going to set up a Heaven and Earth Four Symbols Formation.
Executing the Three Pure Daoist Skill, the magic formulas changed, and the magic formula was cast.
In a moment, numerous formulas were cast upon this drop of blood.
"Hehe! I want to see how long you can hide," Zhang Xiaohao said with a cold laugh.
He turned and walked towards the direction of Xuanwu.
Upon reaching the location of Xuanwu, Zhang Xiaohao stopped.
Squeezing out a drop of blood, he changed the magic formulas in his hand, casting multiple formulas into it.
With a single slap, he cast this drop of blood into the position of Xuanwu.
According to the original properties of Xuanwu, it governs defense.
But in Zhang Xiaohao’s hands, Xuanwu too, like White Tiger, governed slaughter.
Having done all this, Zhang Xiaohao walked towards the remaining positions of the Azure Dragon and the Vermilion Bird.
A quarter of an hour later.
Zhang Xiaohao stopped at the position of the Vermilion Bird; it had taken nearly an hour, but he had finally laid down the foundation of the Heaven and Earth Four Symbols Formation.
"Bao Butong, oh Bao Butong, your lair is in trouble; I want to see how long you can hide," Zhang Xiaohao said with a cold laugh.
Using the Three Pure Daoist Skill, the magic formulas changed, and he cast numerous magic formulas from his hands.
"Heaven and Earth Four Symbols Formation—Activate!"
As Zhang Xiaohao’s words fell.
Invisible black qi instantly shot out from the four positions.
In mere moments, it formed a gigantic array that enveloped the entire Tiandu Hospital.
"Hm, not bad," Zhang Xiaohao said, nodding in satisfaction as he looked at the array he had set up.
With this modified Heaven and Earth Four Symbols Formation, all the flux of fortunes within Tiandu Hospital was sealed off.
Within a short span of time, its power would be revealed.
At that moment, the true spectacle would completely begin.
After pondering for a while.
Zhang Xiaohao found a clean cloth and a stick, took up a brush, and wrote a line of large characters on the cloth.
The first line read, "Calculating heavenly secrets."
The second line read, "Discerning fortunes and calamities."
The horizontal inscription read, "Leaving no strategy uncalculated."
After finishing, he arranged the sign properly and lazily sat on the ground, placing an aged bowl in front of him.
Just from the looks of it, he really had a bit of a "master" aura.
Soul Power surged from within his body, enveloping the entire Tiandu Hospital, keeping an eye on the situation inside.
Time passed, and in a blink of an eye, an hour had gone by.
On Zhang Xiaohao’s side, business was non-existent for the hour, not even a single person stopped to inquire.
At Tiandu Hospital, however, a small incident had occurred.
The Heaven and Earth Four Symbols Formation had started to take effect.
The originally overcrowded Tiandu Hospital, with the operation of the Heaven and Earth Four Symbols Formation, forcefully reversed its fortune.
Its popularity had declined by nearly fifty percent, and, in the past hour.
The doctors at Tiandu Hospital were too overbearing, recklessly charging fees, which upset a middle-aged tycoon. The two sides argued and eventually came to blows.
Eventually, although the arriving police dealt with it, it caused even more people to leave.
"Heh heh! Daring to scheme against me, I want to see how long you can hold out," Zhang Xiaohao sneered.
He felt uncertain inside, always feeling like something was missing.
"How could I have forgotten this?" Zhang Xiaohao said annoyedly.
A typical fortune-teller who seemed experienced would wear an old but "luxurious" robe, the older, the more imposing.
Plus, a goat beard and a pair of sunglasses.
With that thought, Zhang Xiaohao walked towards the bushes at the back.
Zhang Xiaohao changed his appearance, now wearing a dusty blue robe.
A patch of goat beard was on his chin, and he wore large, old-fashioned sunglasses.
He sat down at his stall.
Um, learning from his last lesson, this time he upgraded his pretense.
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, dressed like a fortune-telling master.
After changing his outfit, about five minutes passed.
A red BMW sedan stopped in front of Zhang Xiaohao.
The car window rolled down, revealing a middle-aged noblewoman wearing sunglasses.
Zhang Xiaohao glanced at her through his sunglasses.
Her skin was as white as snow, well-maintained and tender, with a slightly upturned nose and delicate features, her eyes poetic, naturally exuding an aristocratic temperament.
"Top-notch! Playing with this face, could easily entertain for three years!" Zhang Xiaohao silently appraised in his mind.
The middle-aged noblewoman gave Zhang Xiaohao a suspicious look, then glanced at his sign.
Her eyebrows tightly furrowed together.
After a full five minutes, just when Zhang Xiaohao thought she was going to place an order.
The middle-aged noblewoman stepped on the gas, the BMW roaring as it sped off.
"Damn! Did the cooked duck just fly away like that? What went wrong this time?" Zhang Xiaohao wondered perplexedly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the red BMW reversed back to him.
The car window rolled down.
"Can you catch ghosts?" the middle-aged noblewoman asked.
"I, a disciple of the Taiqing Three Ancestors and a legitimate successor of the Xuanmen, know three hundred and sixty-five Taoist skills. A mere ghost catching is certainly no challenge for me!" Zhang Xiaohao got into character as he spoke.
"How much do you charge?" the middle-aged noblewoman asked with a frown.
She felt that Zhang Xiaohao might be boasting a bit too much, but she had no other options and was desperate.
"Registration fee ten thousand, consultation fee ten thousand, ritual fee ten thousand! No warranty included, no home visits! Payment upfront!" Zhang Xiaohao posed like an expert.
"Huh? Do you think this is a hospital? Registration fee, consultation fee, ritual fee? Why don’t you also charge for surgery?" the middle-aged noblewoman said angrily.
"Oh! Thanks for reminding me, there’s also a surgery fee of ten thousand!" Zhang Xiaohao said.
