The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3739 - 3729: He Has Arrived! (Fifth Update)

Initially, the three individuals, Hong Jin among them, wore expressions brimming with mockery. However, the instant their gazes fell upon these items, their pupils constricted in disbelief!

These objects were, in fact, all high-grade artifacts!

Among them, Emperor Artifacts numbered no less than several!

How could this young man possess such an abundance of wealth?

These treasures had been naturally obtained by Ye Chen from individuals such as Fairy Lishan and Li Xiuyuan. He felt no pang of regret in presenting them now, as his true bargaining chip was the Moon Liquid Spirit Marrow!

The trio quietly stowed away the treasures. Then, Hong Jin cast a glance at Ye Chen and declared, "Very well, young man, accompany me first. I shall impart to you the introductory method for the Tongyuan Technique."

Subsequently, Ye Chen, guided by Hong Jin, entered a training chamber where a faintly crimson Treasure Bead hovered in mid-air.

Hong Jin addressed Ye Chen, "The crux of achieving entry-level mastery in the Tongyuan Technique lies in inducing specific frequency vibrations within your spiritual energy, thereby generating spiritual resonance to probe an opponent's martial cultivation realm. Next, I will detail the cultivation process for this technique.

The Treasure Bead in this chamber has undergone special refinement and exhibits extreme sensitivity to spiritual energy vibrations of specific frequencies. Once I have instructed you in the cultivation method, your task will be straightforward: first, you must shatter this Treasure Bead!"

Ye Chen nodded. For the ensuing half-day, Hong Jin diligently instructed Ye Chen on the cultivation method of the Tongyuan Technique.

"Have you grasped everything?"

Hong Jin inquired nonchalantly, gently stroking his goatee, projecting an air of seasoned expertise.

Ye Chen responded, "I have."

Hong Jin rose and departed the training room. However, as he exited the doorway, a dismissive smirk played on his lips!

Understood, was it?

Heh heh, the Tongyuan Technique, one of the Cloud Clearing Three Techniques, is renowned for being the most rapidly learnable at the entry level and the most precise in its early stages. Yet, even with these advantages, successfully mastering it typically demands at least a year of continuous tutelage, wouldn't you agree?

This young man, with a mere declaration of understanding?

In other circumstances, this might not signify much, as one could seek further clarification when encountering difficulties later. But within the Dark Domain, the situation is entirely different!

You claim to understand?

Then, it signifies that you understand, and Hong Jin's obligation has been fulfilled!

Wish to continue cultivation?

You must first meet the prerequisite and shatter the gemstone within the training chamber before proceeding to the subsequent stage!

However, in Hong Jin's estimation, this claim of understanding would likely lead to Ye Chen squandering an additional three to five years!

And Hong Jin himself could naturally indulge in leisure, having pocketed Ye Chen's tuition fee while effectively accomplishing next to nothing. Moreover, didn't Ye Chen express his desire to learn all three of the Cloud Clearing Techniques?

If that were the case, instructing this naive youth again might not occur for another decade or more?

The benefits reaped have been far too effortless!

He even found himself hoping for more gullible individuals like Ye Chen to appear!

But just as Hong Jin was preparing to retreat to the tearoom for a restorative cup of tea, a male voice echoed from behind him, "Master Hong."

Hong Jin pivoted, only to discover Ye Chen standing there!

This young man, how had he emerged so swiftly?

A flicker of bewilderment crossed Hong Jin's mind, but it soon subsided. His subtly furrowed brow smoothed out, and he offered a smile, "What, have you conceded so quickly? Contemplating the acquisition of another Cloud Clearing Technique?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's eyes darted, yet he simply smiled and nodded.

Hong Jin's disdain intensified, mentally labeling individuals like Ye Chen as those who falter at the first sign of adversity, unable to persevere even for a moment. Let alone achieving mastery of all the Cloud Clearing Techniques, he likely wouldn't truly master even one!

Nevertheless, this outcome is also advantageous; the more of a failure Ye Chen proves to be, the simpler his exploitation becomes!

Unbeknownst to them, within the training chamber Ye Chen had just occupied, the floor was littered with crimson-hued jade fragments.

...

The following day.

Within the Cloud Clearing Hall, the trio, including Hong Jin, continued their tea indulgence.

While sipping his tea, Hong Jin chuckled, "Yesterday, that young man, Ye Shitian, also sought counsel from both of you regarding the Cloud Clearing Three Techniques, did he not?"

Huang Quan and Ye Gu exchanged glances, both responding with smiles and nods.

Huang Quan remarked casually, "Initially, I observed a certain capability within this youth, and his influence over the world's laws possessed a rather enigmatic quality, prompting me to pay him discreet attention. However, he now appears to be merely an arrogant individual unlikely to endure long within the Dark Domain."

Ye Gu nodded his head in agreement, his voice carrying a hint of surprise. "Indeed, that kid even managed to make me feel a sliver of apprehension. However, after practicing for less than thirty minutes, he claimed to have grasped the entry-level? Heh, he was likely just trying to save face. I doubt this brat will ever return to the Cloud Clearing Hall. Yet, the companion who arrived with him, that tiger fellow, undeniably possesses exceptional talent for cultivating the Fate Calling Technique!"

Upon hearing this, Hong Jin knitted his brows and questioned, "Are you two jesting? What kind of strength could a mere Heavenly God Realm kid possibly possess to speak of such things?"

"Heavenly God Realm?" Huang Quan and Ye Gu exclaimed in unison, bewildered. "What Heavenly God Realm are you talking about? This kid's power is at least equivalent to the third or fourth-level of the Divine King realm!"

For a brief period, an unusual silence enveloped the three individuals. Hong Jin, Huang Quan, and Ye Gu exchanged glances, each appearing utterly perplexed.

Such an occurrence was unprecedented!

Even when their assessments of a person's strength occasionally differed, the disparity was never as colossal as moving from the Heavenly God Realm to the Heavenly Repairing Realm!

Just then, a dignified young woman gracefully entered the tearoom. "Masters," she announced, "Young Master Ye and Young Master Jin have arrived."

The pronouncement caused the three to start in surprise!

It was one thing for the younger individual known as the tiger to return...

But why had that brat named Ye Shitian returned as well?

He had been boasting in front of them just yesterday; surely he wouldn't dare to face them again!

Otherwise, would his falsehoods not be laid bare for all to see?

Recalling their previous differing opinions regarding this young man, a strange premonition began to stir within the hearts of the three elders!

Their eyes started to reveal a flicker of uncertainty...

Could it be...

Could this brat genuinely be...!

At that precise moment, Ye Chen and Xu Shenglong reappeared before them.

Hong Jin narrowed his eyes and inquired, "Brat, why have you come back here?"

In truth, the treasures Ye Chen had presented were not quite sufficient for the acquisition of all three Cloud Clearing Techniques. Hong Jin and the others had agreed primarily because they believed the young man was simply unfathomably difficult to teach!

To their perspective, these treasures were practically obtained for free!

However, the current situation appeared dramatically altered!

The three elder cultivators had begun to feel a sense of unease!

What if, just what if...

This brat actually succeeded in mastering all three secret techniques from them?

If that were to happen, even if they had received ten times the value in treasures, they would still find themselves at a significant loss!
