The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3765: Ye Chen’s Desire! (Fifth Update)

He anxiously seized Ye Chen, urging, "Wait! I grasp the essence of this matter. My sole hope is that you can convey a message for me. Whether the elder deigns to meet with me rests entirely upon his decision."

With that declaration, he presented a storage bag to Ye Chen!

Ye Chen’s divine soul briefly permeated the bag, stirring a flicker of emotion within him!

The storage bag contained a prodigious quantity of alchemy materials, interspersed with some exceedingly rare treasures!

Additionally, a jade talisman was included, designated for communication with Elder Shi.

The old man offered a smile, saying, "This is merely a token of my esteem. Kindly convey this to the elder as well."

Ye Chen cast a playful glance at Elder Shi, inquiring, "Oh? Elder Shi, is that all? If I deliver your message, is there no additional benefit for me?"

To be perfectly candid, the alchemy materials had already ensnared Ye Chen’s interest!

He understood that by establishing a connection with Elder Shi as a fellow alchemist, future predicaments involving recipes and materials could be effortlessly surmounted!

However, the greater the rewards, the more advantageous, as this approach would also preempt any arising suspicion.

Elder Shi appeared momentarily taken aback by the inquiry, then instinctively struck his forehead. He produced another storage bag, extending it towards Ye Chen and asking, "Young master, do examine this. How does this fare?"

Ye Chen accepted the storage bag, scanned it with his divine soul, and after a brief pause, slowly raised his head. He regarded the elder before him with a somewhat speechless, yet genuinely smiling, expression...

Within this particular storage bag, a solitary item resided...

And this item was none other than a first-grade dark crystal!

Merely for the delivery of a message, a first-grade dark crystal was expended?

It became exceedingly apparent that Elder Shi was, indeed, a devoted alchemist!

For the advancement of his Dao of Alchemy, he proved utterly unfettered by expenditure!

Nevertheless, maintaining an outward composure, Ye Chen bestowed a nod and stated, "Very well. However, I cannot provide any assurances that the elder will agree to meet with you."

Upon hearing this, Elder Shi’s countenance brightened with delight, and he declared, "Then I shall offer my profound gratitude."

With these words, he executed a turn and vanished from the grand hall.

Ye Chen returned to his designated seat, only to observe Chen Yuanbiao positioned beside him, fixing him with a gaze as unyielding as a stone statue.

Chen Yuanbiao found it utterly inconceivable that Ye Chen could manifest two pills of such exceptional caliber!

Concurrently, the nascent suspicion that Ye Chen might be a scion of the Dark Domain Ancestor intensified within Chen Yuanbiao’s heart!

The third lot presented at the Cang Gang auction was an Ancient Longsword, suffused with a certain resonance of the Heavenly Dao. This time, however, Ye Chen refrained from bidding. While this sword undoubtedly qualified as an Ancient Emperor Artifact of considerable quality, it could not eclipse the might of the Slaughter Sword in his possession, which had already seen its seals disengaged. Consequently, his interest remained decidedly absent.

Presently, Ye Chen retained ten Solar Lunar Dragon Transformation Pills within his inventory, two of which bore pill patterns!

Subsequent to the Cang Gang’s auctioning of three distinct items, the responsibility devolved upon the esteemed guests participating in the auction to ascend the stage and exhibit their own treasures. Each guest had been bestowed a unique number upon entering the hall, and now, they were scheduled to present their treasures sequentially according to this assigned number. Naturally, any guest electing not to engage in exchanges would be gracefully permitted to bypass their turn.

Ye Chen’s assigned number was sixty-three.

At this juncture, a guest adorned in a White Fox Mask gracefully ascended the Jade Platform. With a subtle flick of their hand, a colossal skeleton descended into the midst of the grand hall!

The skeletal remains presented the distinct appearance of a gargantuan Bone Dragon!

Even in its desiccated state, it exuded an aura of formidable power!

During its period of existence, this colossal dragon must have constituted an exceedingly formidable entity within the draconic lineage!

The individual concealed behind the White Fox Mask addressed Ye Chen directly, stating, "This is the complete skeleton of a Spiritual Essence Fire Dragon. If pulverized and applied liberally over the body, it possesses the capacity to enhance the physical constitution, even of a martial artist residing within the Qiankun Realm! My aspiration is to exchange it for one of the Solar Lunar Dragon Transformation Pills in your possession!"

The pronouncement sent palpable shockwaves through the assembled crowd!

The intrinsic worth of this skeletal relic demonstrably surpassed that of the Solar Lunar Dragon Transformation Pill!

He who had most recently presented the Solar Lunar Dragon Transformation Pill, even if inclined towards recklessness, surely could not abstain from such an exchange if any of those coveted pills remained in his possession, could he?

Yet, Ye Chen’s gaze lingered upon the skeleton for a measured moment before he gently inclined his head in negation.

While this skeleton undeniably possessed the capacity to fortify a martial artist’s physical build, its efficacy held virtually no sway over Ye Chen himself...

His own constitution and vitality were of too formidable a caliber!

Furthermore, those martial artists or demonic beasts significantly inferior to the Qiankun Realm would encounter considerable difficulty in assimilating the essence of this Spiritual Essence Fire Dragon skeleton...

Consequently, individuals such as Xu Shenglong and Jin Shuhui would find themselves similarly incapable of deriving benefit.

Thus, its value as an object of exchange was rendered null.

Witnessing this refusal, the surrounding crowd directed gazes tinged with derision towards Ye Chen.

In their judgment, Ye Chen was certainly no longer in possession of any Solar Lunar Dragon Transformation Pills!

This fellow was merely feigning a nonchalant air earlier, trading for an unpretentious pill?

And hadn’t he expressed great admiration for the Pill Emperor previously?

Hahaha, in their estimation, the constitution-enhancing effect derived from the Spiritual Essence Fire Dragon’s bone was likely multiple times more potent than that of the gray pill, wasn't it?

Yet now, this brat could only stand by and watch as such a coveted treasure slipped through his grasp!

Undeniably, deep within, he must be filled with immense regret, wouldn't you agree?

The individual concealed by the White Fox Mask offered a fleeting glance, choosing not to utter another word, and directly pocketed the dragon bone before departing the grand hall.

At this precise juncture, another figure ascended the Jade Platform.

Ye Chen’s gaze turned towards this newcomer, and he couldn't help but feel a jolt of surprise!

It was none other than the very person who had previously acquired the Eight Treasures Ghost Buddha Relics!

Concurrently, that individual also directed their gaze towards Ye Chen!

Abruptly, with a mere flick of their wrist, an Eight Treasures Ghost Buddha Relic materialized in their hand!

They spoke with composure, "One Eight Treasures Ghost Buddha Relic, in exchange for one Dragon Essence Sun Transformation Pill!"

For a fleeting moment, the entire hall was plunged into utter silence...

And in the subsequent instant, waves of subdued laughter began to ripple through the crowd!

Nearly everyone regarded the person standing on the stage as if they were a complete imbecile!

Were it not for the fact that this person possessed the capability to obliterate an Eight Treasures Ghost Buddha, many would have openly subjected them to ridicule!

Regardless of whether Ye Chen still had any Solar Lunar Dragon Transformation Pills remaining, even if he did, would this individual who refused the exchange for a Spiritual Essence Fire Dragon bone, actually offer it for a mere Ghost Buddha Relic?

No matter how befuddled Ye Chen might be, he couldn’t possibly be *that* foolish, could he?

But at this critical moment, Ye Chen rose to his feet!

The initial smirks that had adorned the crowd’s faces froze instantaneously!

What was this fellow’s intention?

Ye Chen proceeded towards the Jade Platform and, with an effortless wave of his hand, tossed a delicate jade bottle towards the person holding the Ghost Buddha Relic on the stage.

The assembled crowd’s gazes darted about wildly, filled with utter disbelief!

They were on the verge of being completely dumbfounded!

This… this guy actually went through with the trade!!!

Utilizing a Solar Lunar Dragon Transformation Pill to acquire the practically worthless Ghost Buddha Relic?

In an instant, a significant number of individuals felt a surge of indignation!

Among them were those who had, mere moments ago, attempted to barter various valuable treasures with Ye Chen for a Solar Lunar Dragon Transformation Pill, but!

They had all been met with rejection from Ye Chen!

And now, he was employing a Solar Lunar Dragon Transformation Pill to secure this Ghost Buddha Relic?
