The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3761: Shouldn’t Interfere! (First Update)
Previously on The Divine Urban Physician...
The man spoke with an air of indifference, "Eight Treasures Ghost Buddha Relics, to exchange for this ancient book, is Lady Cang satisfied?"
Upon hearing this, Cang Luqing’s beautiful eyes gleamed. These Eight Treasures Ghost Buddha Relics are indeed items of extreme rarity. For Yin Soul Ghost Cultivators, they are considered Supreme Treasures, but for those who are alive, they are difficult to utilize!
For the Cang Gang, this is not the treasure they actively seek!
However, the moment the Eight Treasures Ghost Buddha Relics were presented, many martial artists who had initially been focused on the ancient book withdrew their attention!
The Eight Treasures Ghost Buddha Relics are not so easily acquired!
The Eight Treasures Ghost Buddha is an exceedingly powerful and rare ghost entity found within the Dark Domain. To vanquish this Eight Treasures Ghost Buddha and seize the relics enshrined within demands strength at least at the peak of the Heavenly Repair or Qiankun Realm!
And this person so casually produced these relics, a testament to their immense power and exalted status!
When contrasted with the prospect of offending such a formidable entity over an ancient corpse text, its perceived value clearly diminished!
Furthermore, though Cang Luqing appeared to be awaiting further offers, in truth, it was unlikely anyone else could present a treasure superior to the Eight Treasures Ghost Buddha Relics.
Cang Luqing’s lips pursed slightly, as if ready to hand the ancient book over to the individual who had offered the Eight Treasures Ghost Buddha Relics.
But at that precise moment, a man’s voice cut through the air, "Wait."
A ripple of surprise went through the crowd; was someone about to challenge this powerful figure for an ancient corpse text?
This action seemed rather ill-advised, did it not?
Although everyone present had concealed their identities, and the Cang Gang provided a relatively secure environment for the auction, absolute safety could never be guaranteed!
At this instant, beneath Chen Yuanbiao’s mask, a flicker of deep concern crossed his face!
Because the person who had stepped forward was none other than Ye Chen!
If he were to truly draw the ire of this immensely powerful being, even Chen Yuanbiao might find himself unable to shield Ye Chen!
Yet, Cang Luqing, observing this development, felt a brightening in her beautiful eyes!
Ye Chen ascended the platform, and Cang Luqing inquired, "This guest, do you also seek to acquire this ancient book? What kind of treasure have you prepared?"
The individual who had presented the Eight Treasures Ghost Buddha Relics at this juncture fixed an eerie gaze upon Ye Chen.
He slowly pronounced, "This text holds considerable importance for me. I humbly request that you graciously concede!"
As his declaration resonated, the assembled attendees furrowed their brows slightly!
Even Cang Luqing’s expression shifted somewhat as she regarded the ancient book!
The possessor of the might to annihilate the Eight Treasures Ghost Buddha actively expressed desire for the ancient book?
Therefore, the perceived value of this ancient book warranted a significant re-evaluation!
However, this also implied that any further action would genuinely risk incurring the wrath of this formidable presence!
Just as the anticipation built for Ye Chen to recognize the gravity of the situation and tactfully withdraw, Ye Chen, under the scrutiny of all eyes, offered a slight shake of his head!
The martial artists within the hall directed their gazes towards Ye Chen, a hint of apprehension coloring their eyes!
Still vying for it under such dire circumstances?
Could this individual be an expert of the Qiankun Realm?
Or perhaps possessed of an unimaginably profound background?
Chen Yuanbiao’s complexion also turned pale!
This young man was indeed one to court disaster!
It must be remembered, while the Cang Gang ensured the safety of all participants during the auction itself;
The situation outside the venue, or once the auction concluded, presented an entirely different scenario!
Even if the powerful entity were to strike at Ye Chen over this ancient book, directly challenging the Cang Gang, for an individual of such immense power, confronting the Cang Gang might not instill significant fear!
At most, they could retreat to the Netherworld to seek refuge in another domain! They might even abandon the Dark Domain entirely!
And the Cang Gang would not risk their entire foundation to pursue such a powerful figure for the sake of a single genius from the Cloud Clearing Association!
All eyes remained fixed on the Jade Platform, anticipating the unfolding of events.
Ye Chen calmly declared, "I am not contending with you for this ancient book."
He shifted his focus to the Eight Treasures Ghost Buddha Relic, his gaze flickering, "Rather, my intention is to exchange for this relic!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuanbiao finally released a slight sigh of relief. So, this young man's sole objective was that relic. Yet, his brow furrowed once more, as the relic appeared tailor-made for Ghost Cultivators?
Why would Ye Chen desire such a relic?
Cang Luqing, hearing his words, saw a pleased expression surface on her remarkably pretty face, "What treasure has this guest prepared?"
The Cang Gang auction operates on a trade-in system. Should Ye Chen successfully present a treasure that satisfies Cang Luqing, she would then transfer the ancient book to the presenter of the Ghost Buddha Relics, thereby making the relic Ye Chen's prize!
Ye Chen stated with composure, "One Third Grade Dark Crystal!"
A ripple of surprise went through the assembly upon hearing this.
Dark Crystals are categorized into nine grades. The lowest, Ninth Grade Dark Crystals, function solely as currency within the Dark Domain, possessing little intrinsic value.
However, First, Second, and Third Grade Dark Crystals are a different matter entirely.
Referred to as High-level Dark Crystals, these grades contain remarkably pure dark attribute spiritual energy, rendering them treasures in their own right.
Nevertheless, Cang Luqing's brow furrowed slightly...
A Third Grade Dark Crystal's worth was, undeniably, a notch below the Eight Treasures Ghost Buddha Relics.
Just as she was poised to dismiss Ye Chen's offer, he abruptly cut himself short, his hand motioning swiftly, and a cascade of brilliance materialized before the assembled crowd!
Instantly, a potent treasure aura radiated from the Jade Platform, suffusing the entire hall!
All eyes turned towards the Jade Platform, pupils involuntarily narrowing. Several treasures now lay upon the platform!
Chen Yuanbiao observed, momentarily stunned. In the next breath, his face contorted in astonishment. These were precisely the treasures he had procured from the Cloud Clearing Association for Ye Chen!
Had Ye Chen actually offered them all in exchange for the Eight Treasures Ghost Buddha Relics?
Casting a glance at Cang Luqing, Ye Chen calmly declared, "A Third Grade Dark Crystal, coupled with these treasures, should suffice."
For a beat, everyone present stared at Ye Chen in surprise; even the individual who had presented the Ghost Buddha Relics on the Jade Platform displayed an unusual glint in their eyes.
Chen Yuanbiao could not suppress a pained expression, lamenting Ye Chen's extravagant expenditure!
All available resources depleted for what appeared to be the insignificant Ghost Buddha Relics?
Furthermore, this was merely the inaugural auction item!
Who could foretell if even more exceptional treasures would appear later!
Chen Yuanbiao shook his head, in his estimation, Ye Chen had suffered a considerable loss.
Conversely, Cang Luqing beamed with delight!
A single Third Grade Dark Crystal alongside these treasures far surpassed the value of one Eight Treasures Ghost Buddha Relic.
Witnessing Ye Chen's generous proposition, a few individuals who had initially harbored competitive desires reconsidered their stance.
They had entertained a slight inclination to vie for the ancient book, but Ye Chen's intervention now necessitated a substantial investment of resources, and moreover, it was entirely possible that this was merely a staged act between Ye Chen and the presenter of the Ghost Buddha Relics!
