The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3772: The Beginning! (Fourth Update)

From Ye Chen’s perspective, the current situation was far from secure. The most critical task was to truly elevate his cultivation to a higher realm, thereby fulfilling his promise to Su Yunyan and liberating her from a predestined fate dictated by others.

Nevertheless, even with this urgent objective in mind, Ye Chen didn't immediately proceed. Instead, he closed his eyes and commenced regulating his breathing.

His recent endeavors in evolving the Mystic Flames had left him somewhat depleted. To successfully refine the Heavenly Rejuvenation Pill, Ye Chen aimed to achieve his optimal physical and spiritual state.

This was imperative, as he could not afford a single error during the intricate refinement process.

Approximately two hours later, Ye Chen's eyes fluttered open, glowing with renewed divine radiance.

With a simple wave of his hand, the alchemy cauldron, previously acquired from Li Xiuyuan, materialized once more in the chamber.

This time, Ye Chen bypassed the cauldron's integrated immortal flame seed. Instead, with a precise flick of his finger, a wisp of blue-purple flame detached and soared into the cauldron, instantly igniting a spectacular display of sparks within.

Xuan Han Yu's voice echoed, "Originally, this cauldron possessed certain limitations for refining the Heavenly Rejuvenation Pill. However, with the infusion of the Mystic Flames' power, it should now be adequate. Proceed, young one!"

In the subsequent moment, Ye Chen's brow furrowed slightly as an immense influx of information flooded his consciousness – the precise refining technique for the Heavenly Rejuvenation Pill.

Ye Chen pressed his temples, enduring the throbbing pain as he absorbed and processed the intricate details. After a brief pause, he drew a deep breath, his spiritual energy surged, and various precious ingredients emanated from his storage bag, commencing a swirling dance around the cauldron.

For a transcendent elixir like the Heavenly Rejuvenation Pill, the required materials were naturally extraordinary. Several components were either completely extinct or considered supreme treasures, even among the most powerful cultivators within the Qiankun Realm!

If Ye Chen had been tasked with creating the Heavenly Rejuvenation Pill entirely from scratch, accomplishing such a feat would have been impossible.

Moreover, even with the necessary materials at hand, his current Dao of Alchemy cultivation level would still present significant challenges to successful completion.

However, the existence of this Pill Embryo resolved all these obstacles.

The Pill Embryo of the Heavenly Rejuvenation Pill was meticulously crafted by ancient alchemists of exceptional skill, utilizing the finest materials available. Ye Chen's current role was merely to enhance the medicinal potency of this existing embryo and transform it into the fully realized elixir.

Compared to the arduous task of creating the Pill Embryo itself, this subsequent step was significantly less demanding. Yet, Ye Chen understood the critical importance of maintaining utmost concentration, allowing no room for complacency.

Under Ye Chen's precise seal manipulations, the medicinal ingredients were carefully introduced into the cauldron. Under the intense heat of the Mystic Flames, they transformed into pure medicinal essence. Suddenly, a sharp glint appeared in Ye Chen's eyes as his wrist moved subtly, and an unrefined, dull gray Dan Pill materialized above the cauldron.

This Dan Pill was none other than the Pill Embryo of the Heavenly Rejuvenation Pill.

Ye Chen inhaled deeply, focusing his unwavering attention on the Pill Embryo. The refined medicinal essence then coalesced into wisps of potent smoke, which gradually merged into the Pill Embryo. The surface of the embryonic pill began to undergo a visible transformation.

The initially gray exterior of the pill started to shimmer, taking on a brilliant, rainbow-like hue as it was enveloped by the swirling medicinal power.

At this critical juncture, Ye Chen's spiritual energy intensified dramatically. The Mystic Flames within the cauldron erupted into ferociously blazing sparks, causing the ambient temperature of the entire chamber to rise severalfold instantaneously.

Concurrently, the Pill Embryo of the Heavenly Rejuvenation Pill, which had been suspended above the cauldron, finally descended into its depths.

A deep, muffled boom resonated from within the cauldron.

Ye Chen's pupils contracted sharply, and even fine blood vessels appeared in the whites of his eyes.

He gritted his teeth, his entire body trembling uncontrollably. He was on the verge of losing control and maintaining the intricate seal formations in his hands.

At this precise moment, an extraordinarily potent surge of medicinal power erupted from within the cauldron, a force so immense that even Ye Chen struggled to contain it.

How could such terrifying medicinal power be contained within this seemingly unassuming Pill Embryo?

Xuan Han Yu’s voice turned grave as he urged, "Ye Chen! Persevere! Continue to integrate the remaining materials!"

Ye Chen nodded, sweat beading on his forehead. With a mighty roar, his internal spiritual energy coursed rapidly through his meridians, and another pale red, crystal-like fruit was propelled towards the cauldron.

As these essential materials were being added to the cauldron, a few drops of glistening, moonlit liquid occasionally accompanied the treasures – the precious Moon Liquid Spirit Marrow.

...

Three days and nights eventually elapsed.

Ye Chen's face was alarmingly pale at this moment, his eye sockets hollowed, lips cracked, and bloodshot eyes betraying an utter exhaustion, yet a wild excitement bloomed on his face, as if fatigue was a mere trifle!

For three whole days, Ye Chen had not paused for a breath, relentlessly focusing on refining the Heavenly Rejuvenation Pill!

Finally, it was over!

With a gulp, Ye Chen nervously eyed the cauldron before him, already marred by cracks; he had poured his all into it, and whether the Heavenly Rejuvenation Pill was successfully forged, only fate could decide!

With a flick of his wrist, the cauldron's lid sprang open instantaneously...

The very next second!

A blinding seven-colored radiance exploded forth!

Within this blinding light pulsed an incredibly potent medicinal power!

As the glow subsided, a large and a small Dan Pill were seen to ascend from the cauldron, soaring towards the heavens as if intent on piercing the void and escaping!

But just then, a flash of white light appeared, and a shimmering curtain, etched with countless intricate runes, materialized before the two Dan Pills!

This was the very array formation Ye Chen had meticulously prepared earlier!

With two dull thuds, the Dan Pills struck the light curtain, their attempts to breach the formation's formidable defense thwarted, causing them to rebound back into the chamber!

Ye Chen's eyes, at this juncture, were alight with overwhelming joy!

He gestured, and potent spiritual energy coalesced into a massive hand, which swiftly enclosed the two Dan Pills in its grasp!

Success!

Not only had he managed to refine the Heavenly Rejuvenation Pill, but just as Xuan Han Yu had predicted, he had obtained two complete pills!

Gazing at the two resplendent, seven-colored medicinal pills, Ye Chen couldn't suppress a hearty laugh!

He took a moment to regulate his breathing, then with utmost care, placed the two pills into a jade bottle. Afterward, he pushed open the door and stepped outside.

...

Within the confines of Deceit City, two silhouettes moved like phantoms, flitting through the all-encompassing darkness. Upon closer examination, one was a golden-haired, golden-eyed youth with striking features, clad in resplendent golden robes, while the other possessed a composed demeanor and subtly frigid eyes.

These two figures were none other than Xu Shenglong and Ye Chen!

Before long, they departed Deceit City, arriving at a desolate and secluded mountain range.

Ye Chen's sharp gaze swept the surroundings, suddenly brightening, and he then guided Xu Shenglong into a hidden Dark Abyss.

As they descended, Xu Shenglong inquired with bewilderment, "Brother Ye, what brings us to this place?"

His golden eyes meticulously scanned the abyss's depths; could there be some hidden treasure lurking within?

Ye Chen offered a faint smile: "You shall see shortly."

With that, he waved his hand, and streaks of white light flashed, settling upon various points within the Dark Abyss. Xu Shenglong, focusing his vision, recognized these white lights as formation patterns and devices!

In the ensuing moment, a luminous white curtain of light enveloped the very center of the Dark Abyss!
