The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 2449: Chapter 2423: Yin Ming! (Fifth Update)

Throughout his journey, Ye Chen had seen many martial artists who were also on the road, which shocked him—the strength of the Divine Kingdom was truly extraordinary!

He noticed that almost none of the martial artists he saw was below the Sealed Gate level!

Not long after, Ye Chen and his companions could see towering city walls in the distance. Du Chengshi and Li Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief. Du Chengshi said to Ye Chen with a smile,

”Young Master Ye, this is Qiao Lan City of the Divine Kingdom.”

Then, he pulled out a card made of an unknown pale red metal and handed it to Ye Chen, ”This card is the VIP card of the Divine Alliance Sky Calculation Pavilion. If Young Master Ye needs to inquire about the selection competition, the Upper God Token, spirit herbs, or other matters, you can go to the Heavenly Calculation Pavilion.”

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow as he took the VIP card and replied, ”I’ll remember this favor.”

Although Du Chengshi had offended him before, now that he had apologized in Ye Chen’s requested manner and had behaved well afterwards, Ye Chen was willing to owe him a favor.

Du Chengshi just smiled slightly without saying much more, and soon, the group descended from the Flying Car and entered Qiao Lan City.

After parting ways with Du Chengshi, Ye Chen followed his directions to the Heavenly Calculation Pavilion in Qiao Lan City.

An hour later, Ye Chen left the Heavenly Calculation Pavilion with a contemplative expression and after a moment, headed in a certain direction.

Firstly, he learned that the selection competition would be held in a month’s time, and secondly, it was about the Upper God Token.

The reason why the selection competitions organized by relatively powerful forces required an Upper God Token to participate was to act as a preliminary screening. There were clear hierarchical affiliations among the forces within the Divine Kingdom, which meant that even if you were temporarily part of a low-level force, if you performed exceedingly well within it, there was a chance to ascend to a higher-level force.

The Upper God Token was akin to a letter of recommendation, distributed by low-level forces to the most outstanding members of their ranks, giving them the opportunity to advance.

Of course, this selection competition was also open to talents from outside the Divine Kingdom, but they would have to find their own way to get an Upper God Token.

One method was to join a low-level force and work one’s way up slowly. However, Ye Chen certainly wouldn’t opt for such a path. Too slow! He didn’t have that much time!

He needed to become stronger, and to become stronger as quickly as possible!

The second method was to buy an Upper God Token, which was also available for sale...

Ye Chen was not one to worry about money, but what troubled him was that in the Lingwu Continent, where he could spend lavishly, he found himself penniless upon arriving in the Divine Kingdom!

The currency used in the Divine Kingdom, Divine Cloud Stone, was not mainstream!

Although Divine Cloud Stone could be used, it was the lowest level of currency.

The mainstream currency was the supreme-grade Mystical Spirit Stone.

Fortunately, for general expenses like lodging and travel, the Divine Origin Stone was sufficient.

However, if it came to purchasing an Upper God Token, it was far from adequate...

The last piece of news was about Yin Ming—the exact location of Mang Mountain!

Ye Chen was now on his way to a place called Mang Mountain. According to Di Ling’s information, Yin Ming and Elder Gu were living in seclusion at the peak of Mang Mountain in a villa.

...

Mang Mountain Villa!

At the head of the guest hall within the villa sat an exceedingly gaunt middle-aged man.

This middle-aged man’s skin was withered, almost devoid of any muscle, and even more mysteriously, through the pale skin, one could faintly make out his bones, shimmering with a light golden hue!

The man was none other than Elder Gu!

Standing behind the man was a woman with an elegant figure, wearing a veil, who appeared to be Yin Ming!

However, at this moment, the middle-aged man’s brows were slightly furrowed, and a look of worry was also visible between Yin Ming’s eyebrows.

The man let out a sigh and said, ”Rest assured, since Di Ling brought you to the Divine Kingdom and handed you over to me, I have become your master. If anyone tries to coerce you into doing something you’re unwilling to do, they’ll have to step over my old bones first!”

As he spoke, his voice turned out to be extremely ancient!

Speaking, the middle-aged man suddenly revealed a bitter smile and said, ”Moreover, I promised Di Ling I would not let anything happen to you.”

Yin Ming seemed as if she wanted to say something, but just then, a child servant rushed in from the door and reported, ”Elder Gu, the young master of the Wu Family and his father have arrived.”

As soon as the servant finished speaking, the laughter of an old man came from outside, ”Hahahaha, Brother Gu, it’s been a few days since we last met. How have you considered that matter I mentioned before?

Frankly, with the background of my Wu Family, does Brother Gu need to ponder so long?”

As he spoke, two men entered the room.

One young man, who had a cold and arrogant demeanor, was dressed in a sharp, opulent battle suit embroidered with a tiger pattern. He was handsome and robust, with a towering and upright figure, carrying a large axe on his back.

Standing beside him was an old man with white hair and a slightly sinister smile, dressed lavishly and wearing several rings that radiated a rich spiritual light.

Both men, like Elder Gu, were of the Great Void Sixth Layer Heaven Cultivation, possessing terrifying strength!

Especially the young man carrying the large axe – an oppressive aura emanated from him, making his entire being seem like a huge tiger that roamed heaven and earth, filled with majesty!

These two were from the Divine Kingdom’s Wu Family, which resided in a city not far from Mang Mountain. However, they were not direct descendants of the Wu Family, but a branch of the family. The young man’s name was Wu Gaisan, and the old man was his father, Wu Bo.

Originally, Wu Bo was a relatively unknown figure within the Wu Family, but recently, his son Wu Gaisan had risen powerfully. Not long ago, at just thirty years of age, he successfully broke through to the Sixth Level of the Great Void Heavenly Realm!

Even the majority of the scions from distinguished families could only watch from afar as he became the Wu Family’s number one talent. The family head of the Wu Family regarded Wu Gaisan very highly, and for this reason, Wu Bo’s status within the Wu Family also rose significantly!

Initially, Wu Bo was a friend of Elder Gu, and it was through Wu Bo’s introduction that Elder Gu purchased Mang Mountain Villa.

The two had always gotten along pleasantly and frequently visited each other. By chance, Wu Bo found out that Yin Ming wore a veil because she was extremely beautiful!

Since then, he had often brought his son Wu Gaisan to visit Mang Mountain Villa, and even though Yin Ming wore a veil, Wu Gaisan took a liking to her at first sight!

But at that time, Wu Gaisan was merely a Great Void presence, and Wu Bo’s status in the Wu Family was quite ordinary. When Wu Bo asked Elder Gu for his daughter’s hand in marriage and was tactfully refused, he stopped mentioning it and continued to interact as usual.

Wu Gaisan, however, thought Yin Ming looked down on his power, so he stopped visiting Mang Mountain Villa and instead began training like a madman!

However, recently, Wu Bo’s attitude had suddenly changed!
