Urban Super Medical Sage Chapter 2053 - 2149: Wealth-bringing Child! (First Update)

"Sigh..." Deep within the Emperor Realm, behind a secluded mountain, in a cave steeped in ancient dimness, the Di Family’s Old Ancestor let out a sigh, his head shaking slowly. The explosion at the Mother River’s vanguard didn't stir immense sorrow, nor did he display significant emotional turbulence. What truly brought him disappointment was Di Jie, the current patriarch of the Di Family, who, in his estimation, had lost the essential State of Mind required for leadership.

Yet, the Old Ancestor could only offer a lament to pity, unable to interfere directly. His remaining lifespan was perilously short. Without the Life-and-Death Reversing Pill, there were no further prospects for extending his existence, nor did he possess the vitality to manage the Di Family’s intricate affairs.

"Su Chen, is it? Has my Life-and-Death Reversing Pill ended up in your possession?" A sharp, intense gleam flashed across the sunken, shadowed eyes of the Di Family’s Old Ancestor. "If you have perished, then all is well and good; should you still draw breath, I vow to drag you down into ruin with me before my own lifespan concludes."

—————

Within the Jinxian Pavilion.

A fleeting shadow of mockery crossed Di Feijin’s refined features, appearing and vanishing in an instant.

"Father, do you truly believe the catastrophe at the Mother River's vanguard managed to extinguish my man, Su Chen?" Di Feijin pondered silently, utterly unconcerned that Su Chen might have succumbed to that cataclysmic, earth-shattering explosion. The reason for her confidence? She could distinctly sense Su Chen’s presence, his very aura of life.

Whenever any peril befell Su Chen, she would invariably experience a subtle intimation. This peculiar sensitivity was likely a gift from her master, or perhaps her future mother-in-law, or even Su Chen’s own mother.

Naturally, the fact that Su Chen remained alive was a secret Di Feijin guarded closely, never revealing it or even hinting at it to anyone.

—————

In the midstream reaches of the Mother River.

Su Chen lay prone on the ground, resembling a stone, a blood-red, refined stone, utterly motionless. The tempestuous conditions of the Mother River’s midstream battered his form relentlessly, akin to ferocious, tsunami-like waves.

Each passing moment brought torment worse than death, as if countless needles were piercing the very marrow of his bones.

In every instant, Su Chen craved oblivion, a descent into slumber, yet he could only muster his unparalleled willpower to wrench himself awake, to resist the call of unconsciousness.

Within his Divine Mansion, the liquified elixir spiritual flow was meticulously guided by Su Chen, permeating his entire body, inch by painstaking inch.

His physique, continuously shredded into a bloody ruin by the relentless storm only to be mended by formidable regenerative abilities, incessantly absorbed the elixir spiritual flow.

Time marched onward, each second an eternity.

One day.

Two days.

Three days.

Five days passed.

By the fifth dawn, Su Chen's every respiration had achieved a profound harmony, resonating perfectly with the turbulent elements of the Mother River’s midstream.

Furthermore, Su Chen had successfully assimilated all seventy-plus premium-grade elixirs.

Though still supine, the severity of his body’s disintegration under the storm’s onslaught had considerably lessened.

Now, only superficial lacerations remained.

"Five days, and my Mysterious Qi Realm has surged astonishingly to the Seventh Layer of the Realm of Returning to Truth."

The paramount utility of the elixirs was undeniably in advancing one’s Mysterious Qi Realm. Consequently, having absorbed over seventy top-tier elixirs, Su Chen’s Mysterious Qi Realm had witnessed a dramatic ascent.

Even though the Mysterious Qi Realm held less critical importance for Su Chen in the grand scheme of things, this elevation brought about a substantial augmentation in the sheer volume of Mysterious Qi coursing through his being. This represented a significant boon, as Su Chen possessed the unique ability of Three Powers Transformation; therefore, an increase in Mysterious Qi inherently translated to an enhancement of both his Divine Soul and Physical Body.

Additionally, a second major benefit emerged—his body’s defensive capabilities had doubled, a direct consequence of the ceaseless scouring by the storm over these past five days. One must not underestimate this doubling of physical defense; for Su Chen, it constituted a truly heaven-defying acquisition. It liberated him from the threat of any assault below the Seventh Level of Human Lordty from this point forward and enabled him to sustain merely superficial injuries amidst the midstream storm.

"Kid, can you manage to rise and walk now?" The voice of the Iceflame Vermilion Bird resonated through the air.

Su Chen gave a slow nod.

Gradually, painstakingly, he pushed himself to a standing position.

The entire endeavor of standing upright occupied a full Shichen for Su Chen; his progress was slower than a snail's crawl.

But ultimately, he succeeded in standing, and that accomplishment was sufficient.

Upon achieving his feet, Su Chen did not immediately take a step but instead focused on acclimatizing himself to the storm's concentrated attention upon him in this newfound vertical posture.

This period of adaptation extended for an entire day.

Only after this full day did Su Chen attempt to move his feet, his gait tremendously unsteady.

It appeared as though a single gust of the storm might easily topple him.

Nevertheless, Su Chen himself was remarkably pleased with the outcome.

A significant improvement could be seen compared to five or six days prior when he first ventured into the middle section storm.

Another span of five to six days elapsed.

Within the tempest of the Mother River's middle section, a solitary figure traversed the expansive, boundless terrain.

The pace remained unhurried.

Nevertheless, the footsteps were remarkably steady.

Periodically, the figure would halt, stoop, and retrieve an object from the ground.

This figure, naturally, was Su Chen.

What was he collecting?

Mother River crystals.

The front, middle, and rear portions of the Mother River all contained these crystals. Without question, the crystals from the rear section were the most unadulterated, followed by the middle section, with the front section holding the least.

The front section of the Mother River had recently entered a quiescent phase, and nearly all its crystals had been gathered by individuals of the Di Family. Consequently, when Su Chen had been in the front section, he had scarcely encountered any Mother River crystals. For new crystals to materialize in the front section would necessitate hundreds of thousands, even millions, of years.

However, this was not a concern for the middle section of the Mother River. From its inception, merely a handful of the Di Family members had managed to access it, including their patriarch, Di Jie, making entry exceedingly difficult. Thus, the middle section boasted an abundant reservoir of Mother River crystals, amassed over eons.

Mother River crystals were ubiquitous.

Especially scattered across the ground.

These Mother River crystals proved advantageous to Su Chen. Upon attempting to absorb them, he discovered they could bolster the resilience and diameter of his meridians, reinforce the density of his bones, elevate the quality of his Mysterious Qi, and offer numerous other benefits.

Regardless, Mother River crystals were exceptionally precious treasures.

For Su Chen, a single crystal or two would naturally offer minimal aid, but what if there were a hundred thousand, a million, ten million, or an even greater multitude?

The middle section of the Mother River, vast and replete with Mother River crystals, likely harbored tens of millions of them.

This represented yet another immense boon bestowed by the Di Family.

The Di Family truly acted as a veritable harbinger of fortune.

They provided so many Supreme Treasures within the Emperor’s Treasure Abyss, offered the Primeval River Storm for bodily refinement, and generously supplied Mother River crystals.

Each time Su Chen collected approximately a thousand Mother River crystals, he would focus on absorption before resuming his collection.

Every absorption session yielded a incremental enhancement to his power, a subtle increase in his speed, and a hastened pace for gathering more Mother River crystals.

A self-sustaining cycle had commenced.
