The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3754: Xuan Han Yu’s Request (Part 2)

Though he was reluctant to become a pawn for the powerful, Chen Yuanbiao asserted that if Ye Chen became a Cloud Clearing Master and directly engaged with the Dark Mansion, his safety could be partially guaranteed. After all, attacking a Cloud Clearing Master affiliated with the Dark Mansion was a decision few would risk!

However, Ye Chen understood this wasn't a complete solution!

While the Dark Mansion offered a degree of protection, it generally avoided interfering in disputes between the various factions within the Dark Domain!

Such involvement would upset the delicate balance of the entire domain!

To gain standing in the Dark Domain, establishing a presence among the external forces was indispensable!

After a period of deliberation, Ye Chen opted against immediate contact with the Dark Mansion.

For the present, his focus would be on the clandestine auction arranged by the Cang Gang in Deceit City!

Three months vanished as quickly as a blink, and the matter concerning Su Yunyan was drawing near!

Karmic connections are intricate!

Yet, Ye Chen acknowledged that when Su Yunyan aided him previously, the threads of karma had already begun to weave!

Promptly, Ye Chen addressed Chen Yuanbiao: "Master Chen, I am willing to join the Netherworld Cloud Clearing Association, but I have a specific request. In a few days, the Cang Gang is hosting a secret auction in Deceit City, and I wish to attend. Could the Netherworld Cloud Clearing Association assist me in securing a spot?"

Chen Yuanbiao, upon hearing this, was visibly thrilled and nodded enthusiastically: "That is certainly no issue! Young Master Ye, do you have any further requests?"

The Cang Gang's influence extended throughout Deceit City and held a significant standing within the Netherworld itself!

Nevertheless, if the Netherworld Cloud Clearing Association was so ineffectual that it couldn't even procure an auction slot from the Cang Gang, its existence would be questionable!

Ye Chen chuckled and stated, "Senior, you may simply address me as Ye Shitian."

He found himself quite amenable to Chen Yuanbiao's straightforward demeanor.

Ye Chen paused, seemingly contemplating any other potential needs.

At that moment, Xuan Han Yu interjected: "Kid, request some special pill recipes from this old fellow! Preferably ones suited for cultivators in the late Heavenly Repairing Realm and early Qiankun Realm."

"Pill recipes?" Ye Chen's eyes flickered: "What purpose do these recipes serve?"

Xuan Han Yu scoffed dismissively: "Kid, you aren't contemplating trading that Moon Liquid Spirit Marrow directly, are you? If you reveal that item openly, you're essentially announcing to a den of hungry wolves that you are merely a lamb..."

Hearing this, Ye Chen's gaze sharpened!

Indeed!

The Moon Liquid Spirit Marrow, while a valuable commodity for trade, was an unparalleled Supreme Treasure!

Once its existence became known, within this Dark Domain, it would be virtually impossible for anyone to resist its allure!

Xuan Han Yu continued: "Therefore, until you possess adequate strength, you must conserve the Moon Liquid Spirit Marrow! I've told you before, it is a Supreme Treasure. Even if you don't consume it directly to fortify your Martial Arts Foundation and physical constitution, it can be used in weapon refinement and alchemy. It is a premium material that can dramatically amplify the efficacy of pills, even bestowing them with unique properties!

In essence, with the Moon Liquid Spirit Marrow incorporated, even if you utilized common weeds for alchemy, you might very well create divine pills!"

Ye Chen felt a stir of interest upon hearing this, but soon inquired with a hint of confusion: "But why alchemy? My proficiency lies more in weapon refinement..."

Ye Chen's alchemy skills were considered exceptional within the Divine Kingdom and top-tier in Boundary City. He had mastered the Eight Trigrams Sky Pill Technique and had once received tutelage from the Ancient Medical God!

However, the Ancient Medical God was, ultimately, a renowned physician from the Divine Kingdom.

The alchemy techniques and systems prevalent outside the Divine Kingdom far surpassed those within it, making his own alchemy prowess clearly insufficient in comparison.

Xuan Han Yu retorted with disdain: "With your mediocre weapon refining talents, what is the point? The greater the power of high-level materials you seek to harness, the more profound your skills must be. As for choosing alchemy...

Although I am unfamiliar with the Cloud Clearing Three Techniques and cannot offer guidance in that area, in the realm of alchemy, I am a prodigy of the millennium. Under my tutelage, even you can masterfully exploit the properties of the Moon Liquid Spirit Marrow!"

This was the first time Ye Chen had heard Xuan Han Yu speak of alchemy with such conviction, leading him to ask with suspicion: "If that is the case, why must I seek pill recipes from Master Chen? Why not impart them to me directly, Fairy Xuan?"

Xuan Han Yu, hearing Ye Chen’s tone of doubt, felt a flicker of annoyance. "Are you... doubting my words? The reason I cannot provide you with pill recipes is simply because I have never bothered to bother with such low-level ones!"

Ye Chen was left somewhat speechless...

Pill recipes suitable for martial artists in the late Heavenly Repairing Realm and early Qiankun Realm were considered low-level by Xuan Han Yu?

What unfathomable heights had Xuan Han Yu’s original identity and might reached?

He shook his head, refraining from delving into such thoughts.

In a way, Xuan Han Yu had bestowed upon him a legacy from his past existence.

This opportunity was likely profound, even for the Samsara Master.

Ye Chen then offered a smile to Chen Yuanbiao. "Senior Chen, I would also be indebted to you if you could provide some pill recipes..."

Chen Yuanbiao was taken aback. "Pill recipes?"

He genuinely couldn't fathom Ye Chen's purpose in seeking pill recipes.

Nevertheless, Chen Yuanbiao proceeded to inquire, "I don't possess extensive knowledge of alchemy; what level are you interested in?"

Ye Chen conveyed Xuan Han Yu’s request, and this time, Chen Yuanbiao wasn’t overly surprised. He promptly produced the highest-level pill recipe within his possession.

After all, an individual capable of such remarkable accomplishments in a mere ten days was likely adept at alchemy as well.

However, his inclination leaned more towards the belief that Ye Chen was requesting it for another party.

Upon receiving the pill recipe, Ye Chen paused for a few seconds before posing another question. "On a separate note, Senior Chen, I have an additional favor to ask. I have a friend who heard about and journeyed to the Dark Domain. I wonder if you could perhaps keep a watchful eye out for her."

Having spoken, Ye Chen presented Xia Ruoxue’s portrait to Chen Yuanbiao.

Chen Yuanbiao cast a glance at the portrait, then looked at Ye Chen with curiosity. "Rest assured, leave this to me."

"Thank you." Ye Chen clasped his hands in a gesture of respect.

Ye Chen had only recently entered the Dark Domain, lacking any established influence, and was truly incapable of locating Xia Ruoxue within the immense expanse of the Dark Domain.

...

Within Xianying City, two figures traversed the bustling streets – none other than Ye Chen and Xu Shenglong!

At this moment, Ye Chen had his head slightly bowed, pressing a jade scroll against his forehead.

This jade scroll was a gift bestowed by Chen Yuanbiao upon their parting, containing the record of a pill recipe for a significant martial technique!

The jade scroll detailed the refining technique for the Dragon Essence Sun Transformation Pill.

This particular pill served to augment cultivation, potentially even enhancing the probability of martial artists overcoming bottlenecks; it proved effective even for those in the late Heavenly Repairing Realm and at the peak of their martial prowess!

Although it was considered a treasured pill, it was not commonly found within the Dark Domain!

The reason was quite straightforward: the Dragon Essence Sun Transformation Pill carried considerable side effects!
