The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3764: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes! (Fourth Update)

After all, to everyone present, this unassuming gray pill was merely a cleansing elixir, its potency perhaps not even considered significant, was it not so?

Yet, what Ye Chen presented were two pills capable of amplifying the cultivation of even a peak Heavenly Repair Realm cultivator!

Sensing the potent medicinal power surging through the air, the assembled guests couldn't help but display expressions of sheer excitement!

Ye Chen spoke with a composed tone: "These two elixirs are named the Solar Lunar Dragon Transformation Pills. They possess the ability to increase the likelihood of breaking through to the Qiankun Realm, or to enhance the cultivation of martial artists already within that realm."

For cultivators of a common standing, the tangible increase in strength derived from enhanced cultivation was far more impactful than a mere reinforcement of vitality!

Furthermore, Ye Chen had produced not one, but two such pills!

This revelation caused a significant shift in the way the guests perceived Ye Chen!

In their estimation, a solitary Solar Lunar Dragon Transformation Pill would be more than sufficient to warrant an exchange for that previously presented gray pill!

Whether it was the exchange for the sariras earlier or this current offering of the gray pill, this young man before them was acting with an almost reckless extravagance, wasn't he?

For a fleeting moment, the consensus among the onlookers was that Ye Chen was nothing more than an inexperienced, foolish youth...

However, even as they harbored this thought, a subtle undercurrent of apprehension began to surface in their gazes directed towards Ye Chen!

Irrespective of whether he was a fool or not, the very act of casually bestowing two elixirs of such caliber undeniably suggested that his background was far from ordinary!

Moreover, for an individual like him to navigate the perilous confines of the Dark Domain, only two plausible scenarios presented themselves...

First: This individual is merely engaging in an elaborate charade for reasons unknown...

Second: This person belongs to a formidable major force, holding an exceptionally high status, and as such, is afforded protection even within the Dark Domain, never having truly confronted its genuine dangers!

The overwhelming majority leaned towards the latter possibility!

After all, from their perspective, incurring such a substantial cost for a mere bluff seemed entirely disproportionate and unworthy of consideration!

But then again...

How could they possibly fathom?

For Ye Chen, these Solar Lunar Dragon Transformation Pills, so coveted by everyone present, were actually not held in such extremely high regard...

In essence, as long as the necessary ingredients were available, under the tutelage of Xuan Han Yu, he could continuously produce these Solar Lunar Dragon Transformation Pills, could he not?

Even Cang Luqing, at this juncture, had her delicate features alight with anticipation. She turned to Ye Chen with a smile, saying, "Kindly grant us a moment, for I must invite our Sect's esteemed Alchemy Divine Lord to authenticate these elixirs."

Ye Chen replied with his characteristic calm: "Take your time."

Before long, an elderly gentleman, his face a tapestry of wrinkles and his complexion as dark as the deepest night, was escorted into the grand hall by a young maid.

The elder, initially exuding an aura of serene composure, underwent a sudden transformation upon laying eyes on the two Solar Lunar Dragon Transformation Pills. With a swift movement, he materialized before the elixirs, taking both into his hands for meticulous examination!

An palpable tension began to permeate the atmosphere of the grand hall as everyone observed the old man's intense scrutiny!

After a significant pause, the elder displayed a profound look of disbelief, murmuring softly: "This... How can this possibly be!"

The assembled crowd was utterly perplexed by the elder's reaction. What could have prompted such an astonishment?

Cang Luqing inquired with palpable anxiety: "Elder Shi, is there something amiss? Are the elixirs perhaps counterfeit?"

The guests, catching wind of this possibility, directed glances at Ye Chen, their smiles not quite reaching their eyes. They understood that attempting to deceive the Cang Gang with fake elixirs would not be met with leniency.

However, in the very next moment, Elder Shi gently shook his head and declared: "These elixirs are indeed genuine, possessing the ability to enhance the cultivation of Qiankun Realm martial artists."

Cang Luqing visibly relaxed upon hearing this affirmation, yet she still posed her question with a hint of bewilderment: "But Elder Shi, why did you display such an expression earlier?"

Elder Shi cast a discerning glance at Ye Chen and elucidated: "Because! These particular elixirs are unlike anything I have ever encountered before! While they bear a superficial resemblance to the Dragon Essence Sun Transformation Pill, their fundamental compositions are entirely distinct! Furthermore, the alchemy technique employed by the refiner is nothing short of astonishing!

This individual's mastery in the Dao of Alchemy far surpasses my own!"

A profound silence descended upon the hall...

A silence as deep and absolute as the void of a black hole!

Every individual present froze like statues, their gazes locked onto Ye Chen in utter stupefaction!

Elder Shi was renowned as one of the preeminent Alchemy Divine Lords throughout the entirety of the Netherworld, yet the crafter of these elixirs had demonstrably achieved a level of skill even surpassing his own!

The next moment, the atmosphere in the grand hall exploded into a cacophony of an uproar!

Numerous individuals turned their attention towards the two precious elixirs, their eyes burning with an intense, unbridled desire!

It was universally acknowledged that the greater the alchemist's skill, the more potent the effects of the pills they produced!

One by one, they retrieved ornate Jade Boxes and treasure chests, eagerly addressing Ye Chen with fervent pleas: "Esteemed Daoist, would you consider exchanging these two pills for my million-year-old Purple Extreme Coral Jade?"

"No, no, no! My ten-million-year Returning Origin Blood Coagulation Ginseng greatly bolsters vitality and blood essence, and is likely far more potent than that rather plain grey pill. If you are seeking to fortify your constitution, why not consider an exchange with me?"

"Still, my Seven-eyed Divine Dragon Bone is undoubtedly more suitable for marrow cleansing!"

Seeing this, Cang Luqing couldn't help but feel a touch of annoyance!

These individuals were acting without regard for the established order, attempting to secure the two Solar Lunar Dragon Transformation Pills even before the bidding for the Cang Gang began?

Just as she was preparing to intervene and halt them, Ye Chen spoke with a calm demeanor: "Esteemed guests, there is no need for further discussion. I hold profound reverence for the Ancient Elixir Emperor, and since this pill originates from the Danxia Sect, it is a treasure I must possess."

Upon hearing his declaration, the expressions of those behind the masks shifted, adopting a slightly displeased look as they regarded Ye Chen as if he were a reckless spendthrift...

Many had already completely categorized Ye Chen as an indulged young master, doted upon by a wealthy family!

To admire the Supreme Pill Emperor and then desire this grey pill?

This young fellow truly fails to grasp the immense value of his Solar Lunar Dragon Transformation Pills!

Meanwhile, Cang Luqing's exquisite face lit up with delight. She promptly handed the grey pill, nestled within its Jade Box, to Ye Chen, her smile widening as she announced: "There! The second item has found its buyer. Everyone, please maintain your composure. We shall now proceed with the auction of the third item!"

The alchemist known as Elder Shi then approached Ye Chen, his countenance grave and earnest. He inquired with great sincerity: "Dearest guest, do you happen to know the alchemist responsible for refining these extraordinary pills?

If it were possible, I would be immensely grateful if you could facilitate an introduction. I have certain inquiries regarding the Dao of Alchemy that I am eager to discuss!"

Hearing this, Ye Chen's expression subtly transformed!

He had previously employed the Cloud Clearing Three Techniques to assess Elder Shi's cultivation. He was aware that Elder Shi was not merely an Alchemy Divine Lord from the Netherworld but also a formidable cultivator in his own right!

Considering Elder Shi's esteemed position, it was almost certain that he possessed a trove of various pill recipes!

Ye Chen's eyes gleamed with possibility. If he could acquire additional pill recipes that synergized with the Moon Liquid Spirit Marrow, it might significantly contribute to enhancing his own strength!

However, maintaining an outward appearance of nonchalance, Ye Chen simply offered an indifferent shrug and stated: "Not everyone is deemed worthy to approach that esteemed senior."

After delivering his response, he turned to make his way back to his seat!

Elder Shi, upon hearing Ye Chen's words, did not display any anger. On the contrary, his demeanor grew even more respectful, a testament to his deep admiration.
