Chapter 1061: Old Enemies
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Luo Yao heard this voice, her face instantly turned pale. She had not expected the Cui family to find them so fast.
The Cui family was not the overlord family in Danxu Town, not because they were weak, but simply because they did not care about the other families in Danxu Town, because they were on completely different levels!
If Ye Chen had not appeared in the Core Tower and caused the Cui family to suffer losses, the Cui family would have been even stronger.
It was also because of Ye Chen’s matter that the current head of the Cui family was furious. Therefore, if anyone messed with the family at this moment, the Cui family would go all out in order to exact revenge.
Luo Yao looked over toward the source of the voice. When she saw the crowd, her expression became fearful.
Although Ye Shitian was strong, he might not be able to escape unscathed when faced with so many of the Cui family’s cultivators.
More than twenty people flew over from a distance. The leader was Daoist Nanming, and the rest were the eight guardians and one of the two heavenly kings of the Cui family.
“Do you really think you can offend the Cui family?” Daoist Nanming was floating as he examined the surroundings. “A while ago, Ye Chen came and killed the young master of the family, and today someone else has dared to kill another disciple of the Cui family!”
“Today, this person must die! The Cui family must reclaim our dignity!”
The Cui family was really unlucky.
A month ago, Ye Chen had arrived and killed the young master of the Cui family and many of the Cui Clan’s disciples. Even the four generals of the Cui family had fallen at Ye Chen’s hands!
In the end, Ye Chen ran away and the Cui family’s reputation plummeted. The entire family descended into madness. Whoever dared to harm a hair on a Cui family disciple’s head would be swarmed by the entire Cui family. Even Alchemy Master Xingtian did not kill Cui Yong for the sake of the Cui family!
However, another person came today and actually beat Cui Yong to death!
This matter could not be tolerated!
Immediately, the family mobilized Daoist Nanming, who led this group of experts to deal with the perpetrator.
Although the Cui family was an alchemy family, they had various roles within the family. They had 36 emissaries, 16 guardians, and 4 heavenly kings, which were formed by the younger generation, the middle-aged generation, and the older generation.
In the Cui family, only mid-stage Daoyuan realm experts could become emissaries.
Guardians were even more powerful, and they usually needed to have reached the late stage of the Daoyuan realm.
As for the four heavenly kings, they were experts who had almost reached the Supreme Emperor realm. In Danxu Town, where everyone mainly focused on alchemy, such a lineup was considered strong.
Daoist Nanming waved his horsetail whisk, and countless strands of hair shot into the sky. Each strand of hair was covered in raging flames and emitted a sun-like scorching light. Its tyrannical nature made the surrounding people sigh in shock.
Then, he swung the horsetail whisk down, and the raging flames came crashing down toward Ye Shitian.
Today, he had to use his full power to kill those who dared to provoke the Cui family!
Otherwise, nobody would take the Cui family seriously in the future.
“Kneel down and accept your fate, or do you want me to burn your soul and shatter your body?”
Daoist Nanming’s aura was full of vigor, and his dark eyes revealed traces of killing intent as he thought to himself, ‘It’s best if this kid surrenders himself!’
‘Then, I’ll torture him to death!’
‘In this way, we can tell outsiders that anyone who dares to offend the Cui family will be executed even if they kneel down and surrender!’
“Mr. Ye!” Luo Yao was shocked and quickly grabbed Ye Chen’s arm. ” Mr. Ye, let’s run! That person is Daoist Nanming, one of the four guest elders of Cui Clan!”
“He’s an early-stage Supreme Emperor realm expert, and it’s said that he has lived for more than a thousand years. Let’s hurry up and leave. I’ve already contacted my family. My family should be sending experts to save us on the way here!”
“Don’t be afraid, I’m here!” Ye Chen gently patted Luo Yao’s hand with his left hand. His gaze swept across the Cui family members in front of him. He smiled and said,” These good-for-nothings are not worth mentioning!”
Just as he was about to take out the Dragonslayer Heaven Sword, he suddenly thought of something and decided not to.
His right arm was surrounded by thick lightning snakes. He clenched his fist, and the sound of his knuckles cracking resounded in the sky. Powerful blood energy swept out like waves!
“Daoist Nanming? So what?
“Stinky priest, eat my punch!”
Ye Chen himself threw a heavy punch. There were ninety-nine layers of fist qi interweaved in layers. At the same time, it triggered countless thunderclouds. Lightning bolts shot down in all directions, fusing with the fist qi and releasing at least ten times the power!
Daoist Nanming? First-level Supreme Emperor realm expert? So what?
How dare he be so arrogant with such a meager cultivation level?
“Today, I’ll cripple you with one punch. Let’s see if you’re still arrogant!”
The violent impact instantly pierced Daoist Nanming’s power!
“Phew!”
“How can he be so strong!”
Daoist Nanming’s eyes immediately widened. He no longer looked as arrogant as before. He quickly waved his horsetail whisk and used the raging flames to block the incoming attacks. At the same time, his other hand quickly formed a seal as he shouted, “Destiny is long. My Dao is supreme. The scorching fire will destroy all demons and monsters!”
After saying that, he pointed his finger, and fire snakes flew out of thin air and intertwined with each other.
The fire snakes fused with the raging flames, instantly increasing the thickness of the flames from one meter to ten meters. Its power had more than doubled!
However, it was at this moment that the lightning fist force hit the flame barrier, bursting forth with a dazzling light.
Bang! Bang!
Shockwaves spread out, causing the surrounding buildings to crack.
On the street, the passersby immediately scattered, shouting from time to time, “The immortals are fighting!”
“The immortals are fighting. Run!”
When immortals fought, mortals would suffer!
When the attacks collided, it was enough to cause the mountains to collapse and the ground to crack!
Some of the young men who had dodged quickly stared at Ye Chen enviously, “Who’s that young man? How could he fight Daoist Nanming?”
“You don’t know about this, do you?”
“This is Ye Shitian, the true nightmare!”
“I heard that Ye Shitian went to the Blood Spirit Secret Realm. Now that he’s out, his strength has increased greatly. I’m afraid that it won’t be long before the older generation can’t suppress him anymore,” someone said.
“Do you see them?” He pointed at Huang Zhantian and the others.
“Those four powerful peerless geniuses are all Ye Shitian’s subordinates!”
The Divine Urban Physician - Chapter 1062
Chapter 1062: One Man! One Punch!
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Their auras are extremely terrifying. If they are that strong it’s hard to imagine how powerful Ye Shitian is!”
“We must not provoke such a terrifying person!”
Ye Shitian was so powerful, but he was not one of the top ten geniuses of the Kunlun Mountains!
However, four peerless geniuses under him could probably compete for that honor!
Rumble!
Ye Chen’s fist qi seemed to carry endless power as it violently attacked the flaming barrier that surrounded Daoist Nanming. Seeing this, the latter mobilized his true qi and spiritual energy to resist the attack, continuously sending out flames, but he was gradually exhausted.
How was this possible?
Previously, Ye Shitian had only killed Xiang Yingjie of the Xiang family, so how had he grown so strong so fast?
“Old Daoist, do you have any last words? If not, I’ll send you on your way!”
“Ye Shitian, you b*stard! You can’t kill me, or the Cui family will never let you go!”
After saying that, Daoist Nanming channeled all of his strength into the punch and even started to burn his cultivation. The power of Ye Shitian’s punch was too hard for him to resist!
“Save me!” he shouted.
“Ye Shitian, you b*stard, stop!”
The two heavenly kings of the Cui family immediately unsheathed their weapons and used their ultimate moves. They leapt forward, sword and a hammer in hand.
The sword emitted an ancient luster, triggering countless shockwaves, shooting out thousands of strands of sword qi like a meteor shower!
The huge hammer released a destructive aura, as if wanting to smash the sky and shatter the earth. It was extremely violent!
Two weapons, two unique techniques!
These two were not inferior to Daoist Nanming at all!
The two Heavenly Kings of Cui family were also extremely terrifying experts. The Cui family had been standing for so many years thanks to the strength of the Heavenly Kings.
“Oh no!”
“Will Mr. Ye be able to block those attacks?”
“The four of you, shouldn’t you help Mr. Ye?”
Luo Yao panicked as she quickly said this to Huang Zhantian and the others.
Huang Zhantian smiled disdainfully. “They’re just three pieces of trash. Miss Luo, do you think our master is going to lose to such trash?”
He thought to himself, ‘Since when did first-level Supreme Emperor realm cultivators seem so weak? But then again, compared to the Blood Spirit clan members, they are indeed weak!’
“These so-called experts are not worthy of my master’s time. He can kill them as easily as swatting flies! There’s no way they can hold a candle to him!”
Upon hearing this, Luo Yao was shocked. She stared at Ye Shitian in awe. “Mr. Ye, you’re so powerful?”
At this moment, on the battlefield, Ye Chen was looking at the incoming attacks indifferently.
“Do you think you are very strong? I don’t need any weapons to deal with you. I can kill you both with my bare hands!”
After saying that, he suddenly unleashed a punch with his right fist. The powerful fist qi was like a crashing wave, endless and violent. It felt like it could obliterate everything!
Boom!
With one punch, he shattered the sword qi and broke the sword into two!
The fist qi did not stop there, and it slammed into the hammer, creating a dazzling explosion. Shockwaves swept out, causing the nearby buildings to crumble.
Boom!
The hammer suddenly exploded, and countless fragments fell to the ground!
The strongest attacks of these two experts had been crushed by a single punch!
Puchi!
The two Heavenly Kings spat out mouthfuls of blood and were sent flying into the walls of buildings around them, nearly shattering their bones. They were severely injured!
“Nanming!”
“It’s your turn now!”
Ye Chen was extremely powerful, and his fist qi suddenly burst forth with even more power. The world turned blood-red as the unparalleled fist qi swept across the sky and shattered the flame barrier, slamming into Daoist Nanming’s chest!
Puchi!
Daoist Nanming spat out mouthfuls of blood. All of the bones in his body were shattered, and his meridians and blood vessels were crushed as his body smashed into a building.
The people in the building quickly leaped out and looked at Daoist Nanming in horror. Then, they looked at Ye Chen, who was slowly approaching, and were unable to say anything in shock, fear and awe.
Daoist Nanming!
He was one of the most powerful guest elders of the Cui family, but he was beaten to the verge of death by this young man!
Who was this young man?
A guardian of the Cui family quickly flew into the ruins of the building and carried Daoist Nanming out.
He took a closer look and was shocked, shouting, “Daoist Nanming is dead!”
Whoosh!
Everyone looked at Ye Chen with eyes that were filled with shock, but also reverence and fear.
“One of the five guest elders of the Cui family died just like that?”
“Such a major tragedy has never happened to the Cui family in the past 1,000 years!”
Countless people were talking, and some Daoyuan realm experts were even speculating.
“The Cui family is probably going to face a bloody disaster! Ye Chen killed the young master of the Cui family. Now, Ye Shitian has killed one of the Cui Clan’s guest elders!!”
“Heavens, the Cui family is in trouble!”
“Ye Chen, Ye Shitian?”
“They both have the surname Ye. Could it be that they both are from the ancient Ye family?”
…
The sixteen emissaries, the eight guardians, and the two heavenly kings of the Cui family were still in a daze.
Daoist Nanming died?
Ye Shitian killed him with one punch?
“Mr. Ye is actually so strong!”
Luo Yao was extremely excited. “Mr. Ye, you’re amazing!” she shouted as she waved her hands. It was no wonder he looked down on the title of the Kunlun Mountains’ top ten geniuses!
It turned out that although he was from the younger generation, his strength far exceeded his peers and he was strong enough to compete with the older generation!
No matter what, the Luo family had to befriend this person!
The Divine Urban Physician - Chapter 1063
Chapter 1063: Three Days To Live
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Luo Yao even thought of Ye Chen. Ye Chen came before Ye Shitian. Could it be that the Luo family and cultivators surnamed Ye were fated to meet?
At that moment, Ye Shitian was looking down at the two heavenly kings of Cui family as he said, “Are you two going to commit suicide or do I have to kill you?”
“You!”
“Ye Shitian, you’re going too far!”
The two heavenly kings of the Cui family took a step forward at the same time, seemingly intent on facing Ye Chen.
However, they then looked at each other and shook their heads. Then, they let out a sigh of regret and ran to the left and right respectively!
They ran away!
“Trying to leave? Do you think that it’s easy?”
With a wave of his hand, Ye Chen unleashed a sword formation. It was the same sword formation that he had used to trap the Huang family’s geniuses!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The sword formation quickly split apart and turned into 108 illusory swords that covered a large radius around Ye Chen, trapping everyone inside the formation!
Bang!
Boom!
No matter how hard the two Cui family heavenly kings attacked, they could not even shake the sword formation!
At their peak, they still had a chance to escape, but now that they were heavily injured, it was absolutely impossible!
“You two can go to hell!”
Ye Chen threw two punches and countless strands of fist qi burst forth, tearing through the air as they pursued the two heavenly kings!
These two people were not worthy of him unsheathing his weapons!
Boom!
An explosion erupted, and a heavenly king exploded in the sky, blood splattering everywhere!
Boom!
The other heavenly king was also beaten into a bloody pulp!
The two heavenly kings of the Cui family were dead!
Ye Chen slowly landed on the ground. He looked at Luo Yao and smiled. “I said I’d destroy them, so I did!”
“Mr. Ye! I am extremely impressed!” Luo Yao hurried forward and bowed slightly. “Mr. Ye, I’ve heard that your whereabouts and techniques are mysterious, but that your strength wasn’t very high. However, it seems that what I’ve heard is completely wrong. With your strength, you can dominate the younger generation!”
“By the way, I also know a young genius. His name is Ye Chen. If you have the chance to meet, you must spar!”
“Ye Chen has great potential, and he even possesses terrifying talent in alchemy. He should be coming to this Alchemy Conference!”
“When the time comes, I’ll introduce him to you. The two of you will definitely become good friends!”
Ye Chen’s lips curled into a smile as he thought, ‘Introduce me to myself?’
This girl was still so unruly!
He smiled and glanced at the sixteen emissaries and eight guardians as he said, “Leave none alive.”
These people had intended to kill him, so Ye Chen naturally would not let them live.
More importantly, the Cui family was related to the Blood Spirit Clan. No matter what, they had to be killed!
“Yes, Master!”
Huang Zhantian and the others immediately responded and charged out.
These ninth-level Daoyuan realm experts immediately attacked the twenty-four targets. The outcome was as everyone expected.
Huang Zhantian and the others suppressed the Cui family’s forces!
Whoosh!
Blood-red light burst forth, and a Cui family guardian died in battle!
Bang!
Another three Cui family emissaries died on the spot!
The forces of the Cui family were unable to stop Huang Zhantian and the others, and were soon forced into a disadvantageous position, gradually retreating.
On the side, the people of Danxu Town watched this scene with relish.
Luo Yao was shocked as she asked, “Mr. Ye, are your four subordinates all ninth-level Daoyuan realm experts?”
But they look very young. They’re only in their twenties, yet they are so strong!”
“Have they always been following you? Why haven’t I heard of them or seen them?”
“They’re not following me.” Ye Chen shook his head. “They are just my servants, so they’re not very important.”
With his current strength, ninth-level Daoyuan realm cultivators were weak and useless.
Furthermore, as long as he obtained the Sword Emperor’s technique, he would be able to enslave Supreme Emperor realm experts and establish a force that could better resist the Blood Spirit Clan!
Bang! Bang!
The sounds of collisions and blood splashing rang out in everyone’s ears as they watched with their own eyes, the powerful experts of the Cui family, who had once been arrogant and domineering, were now being chased and like stray dogs. It was extremely miserable!
However, the Cui family deserved it. They were so arrogant in the past, but their retribution had finally arrived!
Huang Zhantian and the others put away their weapons and returned with two heads in each hand.
Upon closer inspection, each of them had two heads hanging from their waists as well.
“Master!” They knelt before Ye Chen in unison. “We’ve killed all of the members of the Cui family here. Please tell us how to proceed.”
“Stand up, find someone to send the heads back to Cui Yuan, the head of the Cui family!”
“Tell Cui Yuan that after the Alchemy Conference, I will destroy the Cui family!”
“I’ll let him enjoy these last three days!”
Ye Chen said this calmly, as if he could wipe out the entire Cui family with just a flip of his hand.
He waved his hand, and the tip of his finger flickered with light. The huge sword formation dissipated, after which a group of people rushed in. Judging from their clothes, they were from the Luo family!
Leading them was the great guardian of the Luo Family, as well as more than 20 guardians and emissaries. All of them were Daoyuan realm cultivators, though two of them were close to the Supreme Emperor realm.
In a sense, their line up was not much weaker than the Cui family. After all, the Luo and Cui families were the top families in Danxu Town and the Core Tower.
“Miss, are you alright?” The great guardian of the Luo family walked up to Luo Yao.
“I’m okay, Fifth Uncle!” Luo Yao was still in a state of excitement. She pulled her fifth unclie over to Ye Chen and said, “Fifth Uncle, did you see what happened inside the sword formation just now?”
“No, the sword qi surrounding the sword formation obscured everyone’s view from outside. It was impossible for me to see what was going on inside.”
He looked around and was a little surprised. “Didn’t you call for help saying that the Cui family was pursuing you? Why don’t I see any of them around?”
“Fifth Uncle!”
“I want to tell you something very shocking!” Luo Yao looked like a child hiding a secret. She said seriously, “Just now, one of the five guest elders of the Cui family, Daoist Nanming, the two heavenly kings of the Cui family, eight guardians, and sixteen emissaries, were all here!”
“Guess what happened?”
“Mr. Ye killed Daoist Nanming with a single punch!”
The Divine Urban Physician - Chapter 1064
Chapter 1064: Returning In Style
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“The two heavenly kings of the Cui family could not even withstand one punch from Mr. Ye and were both killed, even though they were Supreme Emperor realm experts!”
After hearing that, the great guardian of the Luo family was confused. He looked at Ye Shitian and could clearly sense the latter’s aura.
Daoyuan realm!
However, his aura was so powerful that he could definitely kill a Supreme Emperor realm expert!
Could it be that all three Supreme Emperor realm experts had died by Ye Shitian’s hands?
The great guardian quickly went over to the battlefield and performed a seal with his fingers to observe the battle between Ye Chen and the Cui family clansmen in the sky. After watching, he returned to the group with a shocked expression. He cupped his fists toward Ye Shitian and said, “Mr. Ye, although you are so young, your combat strength is comparable to an expert of the older generation!”
“My niece, please forgive me for doubting you!”
“In addition, I’d like to invite Mr. Ye back to the Luo family’s residence with me. I will arrange a banquet to thank you for saving Luo Yao!”
The great guardian of the Luo family was shocked when he noticed the heads on the ground.
There belonged to sixteen emissaries and eight guardians of the Cui family. They had all been annihilated!
He looked up at Huang Zhantian and the others. “You four are peerless geniuses who have reached the ninth level of the Daoyuan realm, right? Where do you hail from?”
“Fifth Uncle, they are Mr. Ye’s followers,” Luo Yao hurriedly said.
“No! We are Master’s slaves. We don’t dare to claim the title of follower,” Huang Zhantian cupped his fists and said.
“Slave?”
The great guardian of the Luo family was stunned. He stared at Huang Zhantian and the others and thought, ‘Such peerless geniuses are actually Ye Shitian’s slaves?”
Slaves were not followers, but the lowest of the low!
Just who was Ye Shitian? He actually had four peerless geniuses as slaves?
Since he had killed these three Supreme Emperor realm experts, his actual combat strength had to reach or exceed the second level of the Supreme Emperor realm despite his young age!
Such a genius had to be befriended!
‘If necessary, I’ll tell the Clan Leader that even if it’s through a marriage alliance, we must tie Ye Shitian to the Luo family!’
Who knew how strong Ye Shitian would become in a few years? Even the Kunlun Mountains would no longer be able to hold him back.
“Ahem, Mr. Ye, we’d like to invite you to our home,” the great guardian said respectfully.
“Fine!” Ye Shitian nodded and boarded the Luo family’s carriage, heading to the Luo family’s residence together.
Not long after, before the crowd dispersed, the head of the Cui family arrived with a large number of cultivators.
This time, the other two heavenly kings, two guest elders, eight guardians, and sixteen emissaries of the Cui family were all here!
Cui Yuan and the other Supreme Emperor realm experts soon arrived at the place where the battle had taken place.
“What happened?” Cui Yuan looked around with a ferocious expression. “Did you witness the battle just now?” he asked loudly.
“Cui… The head of the Cui family…”
“Ye Shitian and the Luo family have just left…”
The commoners answered with trembling voices. Additionally, someone told the Cui family about what happened just now, and even recounted what Ye Shitian had said earlier about Cui Yuan and the Cui family.
Cui Yuan’s expression turned strange.
‘Ye Shitian killed so many clansmen! However, if I go after Ye Shitian now, the Luo family and Ye Shitian might join forces and annihilate me!’
‘No, I have to go home and inform the elders who are in secluded cultivation. Otherwise, the Cui family will be in danger!’
“Follow me back!” Cui Yuan immediately led his men back. Now that his forces had been reduced by half, the Cui family might not be able to suppress many of the other forces. He had to hurry back and inform the elders who were in seclusion. Otherwise, not to mention revenge, even self-preservation would be a problem!
…
At the same time, the news that Luo Yao and the great guardian were returning with Ye Shitian spread throughout the Luo family!
All of the members of the Luo family were shocked, and excitedly rushed to prepare all kinds of delicacies. They also took out all kinds of spirit herbs that they had treasured for many years and used them to prepare delicious dishes to serve Ye Shitian.
Luo Wuya, the head of the Luo family, stood at the door with a face full of joy.
He played with the spirit stone in his hand and said excitedly, “Great, great!” This time, Little Yao finally brought back a very good young man! I can’t believe Ye Shitian crippled half of the Cui family!”
The three Supreme Emperor realm experts were actually killed, and so many Daoyuan realm experts too!
The Luo family’s position in Danxu Town and the Core Tower would now be set in stone!
This was the best news he had received in a long time!
“Ming Wu, quickly lead your men to seize the Cui family’s businesses. The sooner the better,” he ordered, “If we wait until those Alchemy Masters react, we won’t be able to get much.”
“Patriarch, weren’t we supposed to form a marriage alliance with the Cui Family?” Ming Wu asked in surprise.
“Marriage? There’s no need for that anymore,” Luo Wuya laughed and said, “In the past, our family was slightly weaker than the Cui family, so we had no choice but to ally with them through marriage, but now, there’s no need. Ye Shitian defeated half of the Cui family by himself. Even if there’s a marriage alliance, it should be with Ye Shitian!”
“As for the Cui family? Who cares about them now? If it wasn’t for the support of Alchemy Master Xingtian, I would have informed Alchemy Master Ling Yi to destroy the Cui Family altogether!”
The Luo family and Cui family were Danxu Town’s premier alchemy families, so they relied on the Alchemy Masters.
On the surface, the Alchemy Masters were all in seclusion refining pills and did not care about the matters of the families under their banner. However, once the families under their banner were about to be destroyed, these Alchemy Masters would definitely take action. Ignoring how strong these Alchemy Masters were personally, even their status as alchemists and the pills they had would be enough to attract the assistance of many top-notch experts!
Therefore, the Luo Clan could weaken the Cui family, but could not destroy them.
Luo Wuya smiled in a very shrewd manner. “Ye Shitian… I heard that his background is mysterious. I wonder if he’s from the Ye family?”
“I heard that he has four slaves who are all peerless ninth-level Daoyuan realm geniuses. He must have an extraordinary background. If necessary, I can marry Little Yao to Ye Shitian!”
Ming Wu left immediately after hearing Luo Wuya’s words.
Not long after, multiple carriages stopped at the entrance of the Luo family’s residence. Luo Yao jumped down. She turned around and handed her hand to Ye Shitian. “Come on down. Take my hand.”
“Shouldn’t I be the one saying this?”
“Why did you become the gentleman instead…”
Ye Chen teased her. He held Luo Yao’s hand and followed her out of the carriage. He looked around and found that the surroundings had not changed much at all since his last visit.

Chapter 1065: Now And Then
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The last time he came here, the situation was different.
“Hahaha!”
“This must be little brother Ye Shitian!”
“Such a young and talented hero. The Luo family warmly welcomes you. Come, come. I’ve already prepared a welcome banquet for you!” Luo Wuya walked out with a smile and personally cupped his fists to greet Ye Chen.
Luo Wuya’s gaze fell on Ye Chen, and then on Huang Zhantian and the others. He was shocked. The news he had been told was real!
However, the young man in front of him was wearing a mask, so his true appearance could not be seen.
However, in the Kunlun Mountains, looks were not important at all. Strength trumped everything!
Ye Shitian’s identity must be extraordinary!
“Little Brother Ye, I’ve been looking forward to your arrival,” he said with a face full of passion.
“Really?” Ye Chen looked at Luo Wuya meaningfully and thought to himself, ‘This guy is singing a different tune now. The last time I came here, he said that I’m not worthy of the Luo family, but just look at his face now.’
“Come in, please!”
“Many elders of our family have come to welcome you!”
Luo Wuya welcomed Luo Yao and Ye Shitian into the residence. Both sides of the path into the residence were filled with people, from young to old. There were people of the same generation as the family head, and each of them had extraordinary auras. There were even several Supreme Emperor realm experts among them!
“We heard that you defeated half of the Cui family alone, and we all want to get to know you,” he explained while walking.
“This is Elder Wuyue!”
“This is the third elder, a half-step Supreme Emperor realm expert!”
This is Little Yao’s fifth uncle, an eighth-level Daoyuan realm expert!”
“This…”
…
Luo Wuya introduced his family members to Ye Shitian one by one.
This enthusiasm was simply like a potential rich son-in-law entering the house and the soon-to-be father-in-law enthusiastically introducing his family members. It was needless to say how happy he seemed.
The second-tier experts in his family might not even be able to withstand a punch from Ye Shitian. The first-tier Supreme Emperor realm elders might not even be able to defeat him. However, this person might even become his son-in-law. How could he not be happy?
A group of Supreme Emperor realm experts gathered around Ye Shitian and chatted with him.
This scene made Luo Yao look confused. She muttered, “The last time Ye Chen came, I didn’t see you guys so excited!”
She crossed her arms and thought angrily, ‘Ye Shitian is only about my age. Do you guys have to do this?’
It was as if these elders were of the same generation as Ye Shitian. They made it seem almost as if Ye Shitian was their long-lost relative. Such fake enthusiasm!
Fake, too fake!
Luo Yao could not stand it anymore. She thought back to the time when she brought Ye Chen back and her father’s arrogant look.
Today, she brought Ye Shitian along, and the way her father looked at Ye Shitian was completely different.
“Everyone, there’s no hurry!”
“Let’s sit down and talk slowly…” Ye Chen kept the overenthusiastic family members away.
The Luo family’s older generation consisted of six top-notch cultivators. Among them were Luo Yao’s First Uncle and Second Uncle, three elders, and the Luo family’s grand guardian. They sat at the table with Ye Chen. Luo Wuya and Luo Yao.
At the other tables, there were other elders, guardians, and other experts.
They were all Daoyuan realm cultivators, and there were more than 30 of them. On the side, there were also a few members of the Luo family’s younger generation, from the saint realm to the origin king realm.
In essence, the Luo family had basically brought everyone out in full force to welcome Ye Chen.
“Little Brother Ye, your cultivation and strength makes you a role model for the younger generation!”
Luo Wuya glanced at Huang Zhantian and the others who were standing at the table from time to time. He smiled and said, “These four are also peerless geniuses. With their talent and cultivation levels, the disciples of the Luo family are inferior to them. Why don’t we let them sit down and drink and eat together?”
“What do you think? Little Brother Ye?”
“There’s no need! As servants, we must not sit down when Master is drinking and eating,” Huang Zhantian said quickly.
“Please don’t make things difficult for us, Luo family. We servants have to stand!” He cupped his fists respectfully.
Then, Huang Zhantian, Huang Wuqiang, Wanyan Pojun, and the others stood around the banquet hall. Their ninth-level Daoyuan realm auras swept out from their bodies, and they looked at the other members of the Luo family with dignified gazes.
They seemed ready to fight at any moment. If Ye Shitian gave the order, each one of them would take on the top-notch experts of the Luo family and fight!
Their demeanor shocked the younger generation of the Luo family and made them feel uneasy. They did not even dare to look at Huang Zhantian and did not dare to act rashly.
These servants were strong enough to take on the elders of the family. In that case, just how powerful was Ye Shitian?
With this question in mind, Luo Wuya toasted Ye Shitian and asked, “Little Brother Ye, your cultivation is so profound. Which family are you from?”
He raised his glass to toast Ye Chen again and said jokingly, “I noticed that Little Yao seems to like you a little. Why don’t you two get together?”
The Divine Urban Physician - Chapter 1066
Chapter 1066: Junior Brother
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Luo Yao heard that her father was planning to hand her over to a stranger in the blink of an eye, her face instantly turned extremely red.
She admired Ye Shitian’s martial prowess more than anything else. However, her feelings for him were not as strong as her feelings for Ye Chen.
However, Ye Shitian was much better than the one from the Cui family!
If she could not choose her own happiness, Ye Shitian was undoubtedly the best choice!
Her eyes flickered as she looked at the masked Ye Chen, waiting for his response.
At this moment, Ye Chen did not know whether to laugh or cry. He had never expected Luo Wuya to have designs on him.
He glanced at Luo Yao, who quickly averted her gaze.
To Ye Chen, although Luo Yao was a beautiful woman and a gifted alchemist, she was only his friend.
He was grateful to Luo Yao for standing up for him when he was in danger, and he had accepted the offer to come here because he was grateful to her.
As for the engagement, Ye Chen could not accept it at the moment.
“Forgive me for not telling you the family I’m from,” Ye Chen said directly, “As for getting together, I have too many enemies right now. This will only be disadvantageous to Luo Yao. Besides, I’m used to being alone. I hope you can understand.”
His words were an indirect rejection.
Luo Wuya shook his head helplessly when he heard this.
As for Luo Yao, although she did not want anything to happen between her and Ye Shitian, she was still disappointed.
Luo Wuya did not want to give up on Ye Shitian. However, just as he was about to speak, Luo Yao interrupted him, “Father, Mr. Ye is right. Let’s just leave this matter at that. I hope Father can let me choose my own marriage!”
Luo Yao’s tone was a little unyielding as she did not want to become a tool for the Luo family’s alliances and political maneuvering.
Luo Wuya did not expect his daughter to retort like that. He looked displeased and said coldly, “Luo Yao, don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking. Are you still thinking about Ye Chen?”
“Ye Chen is indeed very strong and talented, but do you know about the bet between him and Mr. Jingshui? No matter how talented he is, he will definitely die! Give up already!”
For Luo Wuya, Ye Chen was someone worthwhile to befriend and ally with. He even regretted his attitude back then!
However, now, when he saw Ye Shitian, he knew what he should do!
Ye Shitian was a hundred times more important than Ye Chen!
No matter how talented Ye Chen was, he would not be able to reach the Supreme Emperor realm within a hundred years, whereas Ye Shitian was an existence that could very possibly reach the peak of the Kunlun Mountains!
The Luo family had to try to win his favor at all costs!
Luo Yao’s eyes were filled with anger when she heard her father’s words and she retorted, “Dad, don’t forget what Ye Chen did in Danxu Town? If it weren’t for Ye Chen, do you think you would still be standing here?”
“A person like you who fawns on the powerful will one day destroy the entire Luo family!”
“You…” Luo Wuya’s expression darkened completely, and he even extended his hand to slap Luo Yao!
His palm was about to touch Luo Yao, but an invisible wave of energy blocked it.
Ye Shitian was already standing in front of Luo Yao.
“The two of you don’t have to continue!”
Ye Chen’s gaze swept across everyone present. “Ye Chen is my junior brother. He’ll be coming to Danxu Town soon.”
“What?!”
Luo Wuya’s expression instantly froze!
He simply could not believe it!
He said in a trembling voice, “Mr. Ye, it can’t be… That brat Ye Chen’s cultivation level is so weak. He was only a saint realm cultivator back then. How could he be your junior brother?”
Luo Yao’s eyes lit up and she quickly asked, “Mr. Ye, you said Ye Chen is your junior brother? Is this true?”
“Yes!” Ye Chen nodded, pretending to be profound.
“So…” Luo Wuya lamented.
Regret!
He regretted investigating Ye Chen’s identity and finding out that he had such a powerful senior brother, Ye Shitian!
A master who could nurture such a powerful person like Ye Shitian must be extraordinary. He might even be of the same generation as Han Yun!
Why did he not allow Ye Chen to stay back then and become his son-in-law?
Sigh!
Luo Wuya’s expression returned to normal. “I see. Actually, I think Little Yao likes your junior brother as well. I wonder where Ye Chen went?”
“He said he would come to Danxu Town in two days for the Alchemy Conference to get some medicinal pills to break through.”
“I wonder how many Alchemy Masters will be participating in this conference?” Ye Chen continued his pretense.
“Alchemy Conference? It was supposed to be held ten years from now,” Luo Wuya explained, “However, I don’t know why Alchemy Master Xingtian joined forces with a few hidden Alchemy Masters from the Kunlun Mountains to urge the Cui family and other families to hold the conference ahead of time.”
“Alchemy Master Ling Yi and Alchemy Master Bai Wu, as well as our Luo family, had no choice but to agree.”
“Other than Alchemy Master Ling Yi and Alchemy Master Xingtian, there are actually a few other Alchemy Masters in the Kunlun Mountains.”
“Three great families and the three Alchemy Masters have pushed for the Alchemy Conference at the same time, so the remaining two families and two Alchemy Masters can only agree because of the problem of candidates!”
“I don’t know why, but I have a sneaking feeling that there’s some conspiracy behind bringing the date of the conference forward this time.”
“Originally, the Alchemy Conference was used to select alchemists! At the same time, the five Alchemy Masters will personally appear and refine the Ancient Hundred Spirit Pill to reward the youngest Alchemy Master and some of the participating families.”
“The winner of the competition for young alchemists will receive two Ancient Hundred Spirit Pills!”
“Ancient Hundred Spirit Pills can be used by origin king realm cultivators and below to advance a major realm, and for those above the origin king realm, it will allow them to advance a minor realm. Therefore, the Ancient Hundred Spirit Pill is especially precious. The materials are all provided by the five great families and five Alchemy Masters!”
“Ten factions providing medicinal herbs? Why are there so many factions providing it all at once?” Ye Chen asked.
Luo Wuya smiled and explained, “Because five Ancient Hundred Spirit Pills are refined at one go. Other than the two that the young alchemist gets, two of the other three will be provided to two of the five families!”
“As for the last one, it’s up to the Alchemy Masters to decide who to bestow it upon!”
After Luo Wuya’s explanation, Ye Chen finally understood what was going on.
The entire Alchemy Conference was not only a competition between young alchemists, but also a competition between the various families. There was even a competition between the five Alchemy Masters, and the Ancient Hundred Spirit Pill would be key to see which family rose through the ranks.
The Divine Urban Physician - Chapter 1067
Chapter 1067: Four Elders
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the competition between the five Alchemy Masters, the strongest person could decide the fate of the remaining Ancient Hundred Spirit Pill.
The Ancient Hundred Spirit Pill was very precious to anyone, especially those below the Supreme Emperor realm.
This was because other than young geniuses, it was very difficult for other Daoyuan realm experts to advance. Many people often advanced to the Daoyuan realm early, but they needed to wait a hundred years, or even two to three hundred years, before they could advance a realm!
Cultivating one’s own Dao at the Daoyuan realm had too high a requirement for comprehension. Advancing was too difficult.
However, the Ancient Hundred Spirit Pill could quickly perfect one’s Dao and allow a Daoyuan realm expert to take a step forward.
Moreover, just by looking at the people at the Luo family banquet, there were more than thirty Daoyuan realm experts. Most of them were old men who had been stuck at the Daoyuan realm for many years and could not advance. From this, one could tell how precious the Ancient Hundred Spirit Pill was!
As for Ye Chen, Huang Zhantian, and the others, they had extremely high comprehension abilities, so they had no problem perfecting their Daos and reaching the Supreme Emperor realm. All they needed was sufficient time and resources. However, there were only a dozen of such people in the Kunlun Mountains every hundred years.
“My junior brother is interested in participating in the Alchemy Conference.”
“I know that he is talented in alchemy, so I’ll have to trouble you, Master Luo, to help him out,” Ye Chen said nonchalantly.
Then, he ate with everyone. All kinds of delicacies, such as abalone, ginseng, wings, and belly, were served throughout the meal. There were also cold dishes made of precious spirit herbs. These were the real precious dishes. Every cold dish was made using spirit herbs that were hundreds of years old.
On the Luo family’s side, a banquet was being held happily, while on the other side, the Cui family was completely enraged!
In the hall of the Cui Family, Cui Yuan glanced at the experts in front of him with a sorrowful face.
This time, the Cui Family had suffered a great loss. On the surface, the Cui Family was no longer as powerful as the Luo family.
“Patriarch, an elder has already come out of seclusion!”
“Is it really time to summon all of the elders?” a third-level Daoyuan realm guardian asked.
“Yes!” Cui Yuan let out a long sigh and said, “We’ve lost nearly half of our family’s experts. We have no choice but to summon them!”
These elders were all Supreme Emperor realm experts who had survived after joining the Blood Spirit Clan!
Even when the Cui Clan’s young master was killed by Ye Chen, the Cui Clan did not dare to use this force casually. However, the Cui family was now facing a crisis, so if he did not summon them, the family would be doomed!
They would definitely turn the situation around!
Through the Huang family, the Cui Family also surrendered to the six Blood Spirit Clan members in the Blood Spirit Secret Realm. Originally, according to the quota allocation, they had to hand over two Supreme Emperor realm experts for the Blood Spirit Clan to kill every hundred years. This also led to the situation where there were very few Supreme Emperor realm experts in their family.
However, after joining the Blood Spirit Clan, they would be exempted once every 300 years, and protect two of the Supreme Realm experts they had nurtured with that exemption.
The Cui family had been established for 900 years. When they were 300 years old, they joined the Blood Spirit Clan.
This was why they had managed to keep four Supreme Emperor realm experts alive, each of which had reached the fourth level of the Supreme Emperor realm.
They might not be considered powerful in the major families, but they were considered top-notch in Danxu Town!
In order to prevent outsiders from knowing that the Cui family had sided with the Blood Spirit Clan, especially the Alchemy Masters, many years ago, the Cui family had sent these four Supreme Emperor realm experts to hide in seclusion, and they would only take action when the family was in danger!
Cui Yuan let out a long sigh. Even when his son was killed, he had never thought of asking these hidden Supreme Emperor realm elders to help him. However, things had taken a turn for the worst, and he had no choice but to seek their help now.
“Patriarch! The situation is not good!”
A guardian rushed in hurriedly.
“What’s the matter?” Cui Yuan’s eyes narrowed as he asked coldly.
The guardian hurriedly knelt down. “Master, the Luo family’s forces have already started to attack our properties and businesses.”
Bang!
“Luo Wuya!” Cui Yuan slammed the table. “Do you think you can do whatever you please just because Ye Shitian is backing you?!”
“Ye Shitian! I want you dead!”
While Cui Yuan was in a rage, an invincible aura shook the entire room, and the four experts of the Cui Family who had been cultivating in seclusion appeared!
Rumble!
The wall behind Cui Yuan was broken, and violent shockwaves swept out from inside the room. Amidst the smoke and dust, four figures were faintly discernible.
“Are you the current head of the family?”
“What’s your name?”
A group of four people walked in from outside the door. All of them had ancient auras flowing around their bodies. Their mottled faces made it impossible to tell how old they were. They were dressed in black robes and looked like ghosts that had come out of the Netherworld. Many Daoyuan realm experts felt their hair stand on end!
Of the four elders, one carried a sword on his back, one held a spear, and two had a huge cauldron floating behind them. Their auras were terrifying, like demon kings!
They were the four Supreme Emperor realm experts that the Cui family had accumulated over the past hundreds of years.
“Greetings, elders. I am the current family head, Cui Yuan!”
“Elders, our Cui family is in danger. A young expert named Ye Shitian came to Danxu Town and defeated a top expert of the Cui family with a few punches. Not only that, half of our forces were destroyed!”
“Therefore, I would like to ask the four elders to make a move. We must kill this piece of trash!”
The hook-nosed elder with a sword on his back stepped forward. He was the leader of the four, Cui Ming!
“Tell us the details,” he said.
“Yes, Elder!”
How could Cui Yuan dare to say no? He recounted everything that had happened today in detail.
After saying that, the four elders sat on their chairs. Their dignified gazes made the surrounding experts of the Cui family feel uncomfortable, as if they were being stared at by four ghosts.
Elder Cui Ming pondered for a long time. He glanced at the family head and the elders before him and asked, “You said that the Alchemy Conference is about to be held?” Alchemy Master Xingtian and the others are all in the midst of planning?”
“Yes!” Cui Yuan nodded.
“I’ll kill Ye Shitian after the Alchemy Conference. The Alchemy Conference is jointly held by the five Alchemy Masters and the five families,” Cui Ming said with a deep gaze, “We cannot afford a large-scale battle between Supreme Emperor realm experts before the conference!”
“Even if we attack the Luo family together now, Alchemy Master Ling Yi and the others will definitely retaliate!”
“At that time, it will either evolve into a battle between us and the five Alchemy Masters! Alchemy Master Xingtian should still be stuck at the early stage of the Supreme Emperor realm, but his connections are extremely wide. We can’t offend him!”
The Divine Urban Physician - Chapter 1068
Chapter 1068: Greed
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“We can only wait for the Alchemy Conference to end and inform the Alchemy Masters of our actions before we take action and kill Ye Shitian and his four subordinates!”
Cui Ming was worthy of being an experienced expert. He knew all the big forces and Alchemy Masters very well!
Given the current situation, if they attacked Ye Shitian recklessly, the Alchemy Masters would definitely take action. At that time, the conflict would involve too many parties and would turn into a chaotic battle.
“Are we just going to tolerate this?”
One of the Cui family’s guardians could not help but ask.
“The one we’re tolerating isn’t Ye Shitian, it’s Alchemy Master Ling Yi,” Elder Cui Ming said slowly, “The Alchemy Conference will be held in three days. During that time, you guys should set up the formation and keep track of Ye Shitian’s movements. When the conference is over, we will kill this b*stard!”
He said so on the surface, but in his heart, he was thinking, ‘We can’t expose our identities in front of the Alchemy Masters, who all believe that we died at the hands of the Blood Spirit Clan’s experts three and six hundred years ago!’
If they attacked now, they would definitely find out that the Cui family had sided with the Blood Spirit Clan, which would create a lot of trouble.
“Therefore, when the Alchemy Conference is over and all the Alchemy Masters have returned to seclusion, or when they are refining pills, the four of us will strike and kill Ye Shitian quickly. Then, we will return to seclusion and hide our identities!”
“Alright!”
“I don’t believe that we can’t kill that b*stard Ye Shitian this time,” Cui Yuan calmed down and continued, “After killing Ye Shitian, I’ll have to find Ye Chen and take revenge for the death of my son. I won’t let him off!”
“Family head, we won’t interfere in your son’s matters,” Cui Ming said, “We are only responsible for killing Ye Shitian!”
“Of course!” Cui Yuan nodded. “Even if you don’t take action, I’ve made sufficient preparations to kill this little b*stard Ye Chen!”
“Ye Chen is just a saint realm brat. He dared to threaten me back then, so I’ll take a leaf out of the Blood Spirit Clan’s books and skin him alive!”
Cui Ming and the other elders did not bother responding to Cui Yuan. Instead, they said, “We’ll leave first and make preparations to kill Ye Shitian. You guys act as you normally do at the Alchemy Conference!”
“Thank you, elders!”
Cui Yuan personally stood up to send them off. In terms of age, these four elders were his ancestors, so he had to behave respectfully. Furthermore, they were stronger than he was!
…
Inside the Core Tower, Alchemy Master Ling Yi looked up at the starry sky. There were specks of starlight and meteors streaking across the night sky from time to time.
“I wonder where that kid went…”
“Don’t worry, Ling Yi,” Alchemy Master Bai Wu said while seated at the side and drinking wine, “That kid is extraordinary, so he won’t be killed so easily. He might return for this Alchemy Conference!”
As a thousand-year-old friend of Alchemy Master Ling Yi, Alchemy Master Bai Wu would often drink and chat with him.
The two gatekeepers were still guarding the entrance. After consuming some of Alchemy Master Ling Yi’s unsuccessful pills, not only did their injuries recover, but they also advanced a step and reached the fifth level of the Daoyuan realm.
Alchemy Master Ling Yi sighed. ” Ye Chen… he’s Senior Lin’s disciple. He’ll definitely be fine!”
“Alchemy Master, the Luo family has something to report!” Old Fang came in to report.
“Let him in!” Alchemy Master Ling Yi took a sip of spirit wine and looked at the stars in the sky.
“Greetings, Alchemy Master Ling Yi! Alchemy Master Bai Wu!”
The one who came was the Luo family’s great guardian. He was extremely powerful, but he was extremely respectful to the two Alchemy Masters and did not dare to be careless and impudent.
“Why did you come to the Core Tower to look for me?” asked Alchemy Master Ling Yi.
“A young man named Ye Shitian appeared during the day!”
“I know!”
Alchemy Master Ling Yi looked at the Luo family’s great guardian. His gaze turned sharp. The aura of a superior bloomed and gradually pressed down on the great guardian. He said in a deep voice, “If you say that you’re only here to report this matter, then you’ll have a lot to answer for wasting my time!”
An Alchemy Master’s time was worth its weight in gold!
“No!”
“Ye Shitian seems to be Ye Chen’s senior brother,” The Great Guardian of the Luo Clan hurriedly said while bowing. He did not even dare to raise his head. “Today, the Luo family invited Ye Shitian to a banquet. Ye Shitian asked about the Alchemy Conference and said that his junior brother, Ye Chen, would be attending it!”
Whoosh!
“Ye Chen?” Alchemy Master Ling Yi turned around abruptly and looked at the great guardian of the Luo family with joy. Not someone with the same name?”
“I don’t think so,” the great guardian of the Luo Family said slowly, “Given Ye Shitian’s cultivation level and combat strength, he wouldn’t lie!”
“Furthermore, Ye Shitian has already left the Luo family’s residence!”
“Before he left, he left behind Ye Chen’s keepsake. That’s why the family head sent me here to inform the Alchemy Master!”
After hearing these words, Alchemy Master Ling Yi fell into deep thought, ‘When Ye Chen left a month ago, he was only a saint realm cultivator. He’s probably only reached the origin king realm now at most. Is he really confident that he can withstand the Cui family’s experts?’
‘Right, Ye Shitian is his senior brother. With such a powerful senior brother protecting him, he would definitely come back!’
Alchemy Master Ling Yi was overjoyed. “Alright, if Ye Chen returns, I’ll refine an Ancient Hundred Spirit Pill for him at the Alchemy Conference to increase his cultivation level. Also, if you meet Ye Shitian, tell him to be careful of Alchemy Master Xingtian!”
“Alchemy Master Xingtian will definitely strike at the first possible opportunity. If Ye Shitian can’t protect his junior brother, I’ll take action myself!”
Alchemy Master Ling Yi could be said to be extremely protective of Ye Chen, who was the disciple of his benefactor. Even if he had to risk his life, he would protect Ye Chen!
“Yes, sir!”
“However, what about the Cui family and Alchemy Master Xingtian?”
“You don’t have to worry too much about that. I’ll naturally send someone to deal with some things,” Alchemy Master Ling Yi said disdainfully.
“Thank you, Alchemy Master!”
After the Luo family’s great guardian left, Alchemy Master Bai Wu thought about Ye Chen and Ye Shitian while drinking, muttering,” One is strong in alchemy but weak in martial arts. The other is extremely strong in martial arts and is even comparable to the experts from the older generation. However, his talent in alchemy might be lacking!”
“Such powerful brothers!”
“I really don’t know which senior taught them!”
“More importantly, Ye Shitian has four ninth-level Daoyuan realm geniuses as his subordinates. There’s definitely more to him than meets the eye!”
For such geniuses to be willing to be Ye Shitian’s subordinates, there had to be something extraordinary about him!
Could he be from that place?
At this moment, Alchemy Master Bai Wu’s eyes actually revealed a trace of greed!
However, this greed was fleeting and was not detected by Alchemy Master Ling Yi.
The Divine Urban Physician - Chapter 1069
Chapter 1069: Changing Currents
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
At this moment, in a tall building in Danxu Town, Ye Chen, Huang Zhantian, and the others were staying in a presidential suite.
“Have you taken care of the people following us?” Ye Chen asked.
“Master, everything has been resolved. No one will know that we have entered this building,” Huang Zhantian reported.
Ye Chen nodded and quietly took off his mask, returning once more to his appearance as Ye Chen. At the same time, his aura also completely changed from its demonic nature to a calmer one.
Huang Zhantian, Wanyan Pojun, and the others were completely stunned by what they saw!
Ever since they met in the Blood Spirit Secret Realm, they had never seen the young man take off his mask. Therefore, they did not know what Ye Chen looked like.
However, right before their eyes, they saw Ye Chen’s face!
They had seen Ye Chen’s photo in the Luo family’s residence. Why did Ye Chen look so similar to their master?
No, wait, it was exactly the same!
“Master, you…” Huang Zhantian asked, “Are you the Ye Chen that the Luo family head was talking about?”
“Of course.” Ye Chen did not bother to hide it. After all, the four of them had signed a slave contract with him. If they had any thoughts of betrayal, their souls would be burned by flames. It was not a big deal to reveal his identity to them.
“I am Ye Chen. At the same time, I am also Ye Shitian!”
“Hiss…”
“Master?” The four of them gasped. “Do others in the Kunlun Mountains not know your identity, Master?” asked Huang Wuqiang.
Ye Chen nodded and told them not to tell anyone. “In the future, I’ll still need the identity of Ye Shitian. At the Alchemy Conference, you can just say that Ye Shitian asked you to follow me!”
“We understand!”
“Master, what should we do next?” Huang Zhantian asked.
Ye Chen’s eyes were fixed on the scenery outside the window. He placed his hands behind his back and said calmly, “We’ll wait for the Alchemy Conference to begin in three days!”
…
At the same time, in a mysterious place.
Blood energy lingered here, and the sky was faintly blood-red!
The blazing sun and blood moon hung high in the sky simultaneously.
More importantly, the spiritual energy here was extremely dense, several times more so than the Kunlun Mountains. Cultivating here would be very beneficial for any cultivator.
If Ye Chen was here, he would definitely find that this place was extremely similar to the Blood Spirit Secret Realm.
Near an extremely ancient building, there was a huge spirit stone that was engraved with three words…
Blood Spirit Clan!
This was the territory that the Blood Spirit Clan had occupied for tens of millions of years, and it was the birthplace of countless Blood Spirit Clan experts!
In the depths of the building, there was a terrifying formation, around which many experts sat cross-legged, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth!
There was a huge round stone pillar in the middle, atop which sat a skinny old man.
The old man’s hair was white and his beard was very long. His entire body emitted an extremely powerful aura, and there were countless spiritual talismans surrounding his body.
His eyes were closed, and there was a red light between his eyebrows, much like a third eye.
If Ye Chen was here, he would have noticed that the red light between the old man’s eyebrows was extremely similar to the light between his own eyebrows!
However, the power in his forehead was connected to the Netherworld, while the power in the old man’s forehead was connected to the Blood Spirit Clan’s forbidden land!
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew and the old man opened his eyes. He spat out a mouthful of blood!
The experts below the pillar naturally sensed something as well, and countless eyes opened, exhibiting fear and worry.
“Master, what’s wrong?”
“Master, you have been in seclusion for a thousand years. What has happened?”
Countless voices rang out. It was obvious how important the old man was to the Blood Spirit Clan experts!
The old man ignored the questions. His face was extremely dark and even filled with anger!
His blood essence suddenly became extremely dense.
“Who did it? Who dared to kill the Blood Spirit Clan members I placed in the lower planes?”
“Who in the Kunlun Mountains is qualified to kill all six of them?”
“Why is there a piercing pain between my eyebrows? Is something big going to happen to the Blood Spirit Clan?”
The old man’s angry eyes turned more and more uneasy.
He suddenly thought of something, and his fingers formed a seal and condensed an image projection.
In the image projection were ancient stone pillars, each of which were wrapped in chains covered in blood energy.
Bound by these chains to the pillars were mighty experts in deep sleep!
There were a hundred of them!
These were the hundred ancient mighty experts trapped in the Samsara Graveyard!
Luo Yuntian, Chen Qingcang, Dao Lord Slaughter, Ping Canghai, Chen Tianli, Duan Leiren, the Immortal Lord, Lin Qingxuan, Mo Ning, and Xue Qiye were all among them!
The old man saw that these trapped people were motionless and not exhibiting any fluctuations, he heaved a sigh of relief.
The disappearance of any one of these people would be a huge matter for him and the Blood Spirit Clan, and might even result in their clan being eradicated entirely!
Suddenly, the old man’s eyes focused and his cold eyes turned to the experts below the pillar.
“Something has happened in the Kunlun Mountains. Six of our clansmen have died mysteriously. I want to know how long it will be before the hundred years are up.”
A middle-aged man walked out from the crowd and knelt before the old man. “Master,” he said respectfully, “There’s still a little over a year left. The Earth where the Kunlun Mountains are located is a low-level plane. Over the years, we’ve almost squeezed dry all of the cultivation resources of those ants. We don’t even know if there are 1,000 people remaining who have reached the Supreme Emperor realm. How could something happen there?”
“Also, there shouldn’t be any Blood Spirit Clan members there, other than some Kunlun Mountains’ families and forces that are related to us.”
When the old man heard this, he snorted coldly. With a wave of his arm, the middle-aged man exploded and turned into bloody paste on the spot!
“I don’t like people doubting me!”
Everyone’s faces turned pale when they saw their master’s anger. No one even dared to breathe loudly.
The old man looked down at everyone with his hands behind his back and made a firm decision.
“Although there’s still a year left, I feel that something is wrong with the Kunlun Mountains this time. It’s as if there’s a huge variable hidden somewhere. I can’t wait a year. Take a few Blood Spirit Clan experts to the Kunlun Mountains to check it out! Investigate the cause of death of those clansmen! No matter what, we must bring back the head of the person who did it!”
“Yes, Master!”
An old man in a Daoist robe walked out and nodded. Without wasting any time, he pointed at a few experts, and together, they disappeared!
After that old man in the Daoist robe and the others disappeared, the skinny old man looked at the sky and moved his fingers.
“The stars are actually aligning. Could it be that the legendary person who controls reincarnation is about to appear? I wonder if this matter had anything to do with the Kunlun Mountains. I hope I’m overthinking things…”
…
Naturally, Ye Chen knew nothing of what had transpired in that mysterious place. These few days, the only thing he did was study alchemy.
After reaching the Daoyuan realm, his master of alchemy became even more terrifying. Furthermore, thanks to the things he had obtained from the Holy Herb Valley, Ye Chen’s Alchemy Dao had grown by leaps and bounds!
The Divine Urban Physician - Chapter 1070
Chapter 1070: Cloud Stairway
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Three days later, in the Kunlun Mountains, the Alchemy Conference was about to start.
The five Alchemy Masters and five major families gathered in the center of Danxu Town. A grand arena that was 1,000 meters long and 100 meters wide had been set up, within which there were ancient cauldrons that were surrounded by wisps of purple energy. They looked like they had been passed down from ancient times. They were each one meter long and one meter wide, and had three legs.
There were a total of 30 such cauldrons.
In front of them, there were bronze cauldrons that were ten feet tall, ten feet wide, and ten feet long, which emitted spiritual energy. These were the cauldrons used by the five Alchemy Masters to refine pills. The spiritual energy that overflowed from these cauldrons easily surpassed the other thirty cauldrons!
On the left and right sides of the arena sat the five great Alchemy Masters and the five heads of the major families.
Alchemy Master Ling Yi stood up. His green-robed figure was awe-inspiring as he looked down at the tens of thousands of spectators around the arena. With a wave of his hand, he sent out sound waves that rippled throughout the arena, forcing the tens of thousands of spectators to retreat dozens of steps!
“This distance is about right.” He nodded in satisfaction.
“This is an Alchemy Conference, not a martial arts tournament. Why are you standing so close? Are you trying to help the participants cheat?”
His voice was calm, but it reached everyone’s ears.
In that instant, thousands of people lowered their heads and did not dare to look at Alchemy Master Ling Yi. They silently took a few steps back, leaving an empty space.
The masses were looking forward to the Alchemy Conference because the participating alchemists would sell the pills on the spot after the quality of the pills was appraised by the five Alchemy Masters. Even though they were young alchemists, they still had to refine pills that could increase one’s cultivation. Naturally, this would make the crowd excited.
“For this Alchemy Conference, because the Alchemy God’s statue was shattered the last time, I will be the chief judge!”
“Now, I declare that the Alchemy Conference has officially begun!”
When Alchemy Master Ling Yi saw Ye Chen standing among the crowd, a smile appeared on his lips. He said, “In this Alchemy Conference, I will refine an additional Ancient Hundred Spirit Pill. I will choose one person from the crowd to bestow it upon!”
“What?! Another Ancient Hundred Spirit Pill?” Luo Wuya stared at Alchemy Master Ling Yi in surprise and exclaimed, “Originally, there were five Ancient Hundred Spirit Pills. Now, there are six.”
A fifth-level origin king realm cultivator could become a Daoyuan realm expert just by consuming one pill!
Six Ancient Hundred Spirit Pills were enough to create six Daoyuan realm experts!
Daoyuan realm cultivators were not considered particularly powerful experts in the Blood Spirit Secret Realm. However, in Danxu Town, if there were no Supreme Emperor realm experts, the Daoyuan realm experts called the shots. The huge Luo and Cui families had only 30 to 40 Daoyuan realm experts after hundreds of years of accumulation!
“For this Alchemy Conference, the thirty young alchemists need to refine one of the following. Ancient Hundred Spirit Pill, Spirit Comprehension Pill, Fire Pill, Water Pill, Heaven Yellow Pill, and so on!”
“There’s a time limit of six hours for the pills to be produced. At that time, the ranking will be determined by the number and quality of the pills produced!”
Alchemy Master Ling Yi paused for a moment and raised his hands. A miniature purple sun emerged from his hand and soared into the sky, landing on the top of a hundred-story building, hitting a man in black who was a fifth-level Daoyuan realm expert!
The explosion caused the surrounding tall buildings to shake, and the man’s whole body was annihilated!
Alchemy Master Ling Yi retracted his hands and stood with his hands behind his back. His eyes were cold as he said, “Everyone here must reveal their identities. If they don’t comply, they will be regarded as criminals who secretly want to steal the alchemists’ pills or secrets, and shall thus be killed!”
Every time an alchemist refined pills, there would always be some cultivators who relied on their superior cultivation to forcefully snatch the medicinal pills.
During the conferences, Alchemy Master Ling Yi had always killed those who did so.
“I need to inform everyone that the Fire Pill, Water Pill, and Heaven Yellow Pill are all seventh-grade spirit pills. No matter how good the quality is or how many pills are produced, they won’t rank in the top five!”
“The Spirit Comprehension Pill is an eighth-grade spirit pill. Its medicinal effect is half of the Ancient Hundred Spirit Pill!”
“The Ancient Hundred Spirit Pill is a ninth-grade spirit pill. If only one person manages to refine one, he will be regarded as the winner. Even if someone can refine twelve Spirit Comprehension Pills of the highest quality, he will only be ranked second!”
No matter how many eighth-grade spirit pills there were, they were not as good as a single ninth-grade spirit pill.
Therefore, refining the Ancient Hundred Spirit Pill was the key. However, this was easier said than done!
“Now, let’s invite the thirty young alchemists to step onto the stage!”
After Alchemy Master Ling Yi finished speaking, he waved his hand and a multi-colored glow bloomed. It shot into the clouds and transformed into a cloud stairway that connected the ground to the 100-meter-tall arena!
The thirty young alchemists were mostly in their teens to thirties. Among them were Ye Chen, Cui Yue, Ruo Han, Luo Fang, and the others.
Cui Yue had not expected Ye Chen to really come, and was burning with fury.
The Cui family and Ye Chen were irreconcilable enemies!
No matter what, this time, Ye Chen had to pay the price. However, Cui Yue suddenly sensed Alchemy Master Ling Yi’s gaze and stopped, before begrudgingly heading toward the cloud stairway.
Everyone got onto the cloud stairway together and climbed up step by step. The hundred-meter stairway was divided into thirty-three steps.
Whoosh!
With every step he took, Ye Chen felt that the blood essence and energy in his body were being baptized by the cloud stairway.
Wisps of clouds floated out and circled around Ye Chen, penetrating his skin and blood vessels. The alchemy flames in his body were ignited by the clouds, and his meridians and bones were also affected.
“Trying to stump me with this tiny bit of difficulty?”
“Scatter!”
Ye Chen mobilized his strength and instantly suppressed the alchemy flames in his body. He punched out and scattered the surrounding wisps of clouds. He strode up and soon reached the twentieth step. As he went up, the power of the clouds became stronger, but it was still difficult for them to stop Ye Chen.
“Damn it! What is Ye Chen’s body made of?”
“He’s still moving so fast despite the suppression of the wisps of clouds!”
Cui Yue gritted his teeth. His body was drenched in sweat. The alchemy flames in his body were burning fiercely and attacking every part of his body.
He stopped at the seventeenth step. He felt that with every step he took, the pain in his body doubled. When he looked up at Ye Chen, who was ahead of him, he said, “Damn b*stard, he’s so fast…”
“Ye Chen is too fast.”
“He’s actually about to reach the arena!”
Luo Fang panted and looked up at Ye Chen in surprise. “With every step forward, the impact on the meridians in my body doubles. It’s not just a test of the physical body, but also a test of the alchemy flames in the body. It’s so painful that it’s as if ten thousand ants are gnawing at me. How did Ye Chen get so far up so quickly!”
Previously, Ye Chen was only an origin-grade alchemist!
How could he climb the stairway so quickly?!
Could it be that his body had undergone a transformation?
