The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 3240: Chapter 4017: All Crises Point to Ye Chen (Sixth Update)

Of course, this step is truly defying fate.

Even the Ancient Immemorial Pill Master hasn’t achieved it.

...

In the following time, Ye Chen devoted all his energy to cultivating the Eight Trigrams Sky Pill Technique, preparing for the Pill Venerate Conference.

If he can master the Eight Trigrams Sky Pill Technique, he would definitely win the championship in this conference.

Because the Eight Trigrams Sky Pill Technique is truly defying fate, once mastered, the quality of the pills he refines will absolutely be earth-shattering, unmatched by anyone.

Two days quickly passed.

Finally, the Pill Venerate Conference is about to begin!

In the morning, inside the Samsara Graveyard.

”Kid, how’s your cultivation going?”

The Ancient Immemorial Pill Master asked with a smile.

”Ashamed, disciple has only comprehended the Fire Technique and the Thunder Technique.”

Ye Chen shook his head and, after two days of cultivation, had only comprehended the Fire Technique and the Thunder Technique from the Eight Techniques of the Eight Trigrams Sky Pill Technique. He had not understood the Heavenly Law, Earth Technique, Water Technique, Wind Technique, etc.

”Comprehending two techniques is quite good.”

The Ancient Immemorial Pill Master nodded, and in such a short time, to learn two alchemy techniques, Ye Chen’s talent is definitely first-tier, at least more formidable than himself back in the day.

”Then at the Pill Venerate Conference, I suppose there aren’t many experts; the Fire Technique and Thunder Technique you comprehended are enough to dominate.”

The Ancient Immemorial Pill Master had great confidence in the Eight Trigrams Sky Pill Technique. Even if it’s just two techniques, not the complete set, he was confident about crushing the competition.

”Let’s hope so, senior; I’m off.”

Ye Chen cupped his hands and immediately left the Samsara Graveyard.

...

The morning sunlight enveloped Boundary City.

The whole Boundary City was bathed in the glow of the dawn.

A towering giant tower stood in the city’s center, straight and majestic, awe-inspiring.

This place is the Holy Land of Boundary City, the Core Tower!

The Pill Venerate Conference will be held at the Core Tower today.

Prominent figures of Boundary City and disciples from all sects had rushed to the Core Tower early and sat in the surrounding seats, waiting for the conference to begin.

”Who do you think will win the championship at today’s Pill Venerate Festival?”

”Is there any need to guess? It definitely has to be the Outer Realm’s Danhuang Yang Lie; when it comes to alchemy, no one compares to him.”

”I think so too; this year’s champion must be Danhuang Yang Lie.”

On the audience seats, voices surged as people discussed.

The obvious favorite to win the Pill Venerate Conference today was Danhuang Yang Lie, whose alchemy skills are unrivaled, unmatched by anyone.

Many alchemists participating had no intention of vying for first place, instead wanting to compete for second.

Because Danhuang Yang Lie’s alchemy skill is extremely formidable, almost no one dares to compare; everyone only aims for the second position.

The rewards for the Pill Venerate Conference are very substantial, even for the second place, there are significant prizes.

”Hey, have you heard about Ye Chen?”

”That legendary first genius of the Divine Kingdom, is he competing too?”

”Haha, he’s too young, what makes him think he can compete with Master Danhuang?”

In the discussions, there were many mentions of Ye Chen.

But no one believed that Ye Chen could compete with Danhuang Yang Lie.

If it’s about martial arts, perhaps there could be some comparison.

But today’s Pill Venerate Conference is not about martial arts but about alchemy.

No one believed Ye Chen could emerge victorious solely based on alchemy skills.

In front of the Core Tower, on the vast square, several alchemy cauldrons were arranged, with many medicinal ingredients piled alongside them, and three Pill Recipe Scrolls placed on the tables.

For this Pill Venerate Conference, the Pill Recipe Scrolls, alchemy materials, and alchemy cauldrons were all provided by the Core Tower.

On the judges’ panel, Qian and Kun were dressed magnificently, sitting like sculptures.

Today’s Pill Venerate Conference, they served as judges.

”Have you heard that Qian and Kun wanted to take Ye Chen as their disciple, but were refused.”

”Ye Chen’s temper is huge; he even dared to refuse Qian and Kun.”

”Qian and Kun rarely intervene in worldly affairs, this time they approached but hit a brick wall.”

Surrounding whispers were heard, and Qian and Kun’s faces showed a hint of annoyance and embarrassment.

Their failed attempt to recruit a disciple had spread across Boundary City, causing them a bit of shame.

”If that kid dares to show up today, we’ll make sure to humiliate him severely!”

Qian and Kun exchanged a glance, coming to a tacit understanding.

As judges, they wielded enormous power.

If Ye Chen dared to compete, they would definitely find fault with him in every possible way, not giving him a chance to win the championship or even a shred of dignity.

Dong!

A long bell rang out from the Core Tower.

The Pill Venerate Conference was officially starting!

One alchemist after another, more than thirty people, gradually entered the arena, proceeding to their respective positions according to their names.

Among them, the most eye-catching were Danhuang Yang Lie and his father, the center of attention and recognized as having the most formidable alchemy skills.

”Today, the first and second places are bound to be taken by them, the father and son.”

Many viewers watched the pair and whispered privately.

”No, I think the second place should belong to Sikong Deacon from the Emperor Abyss Palace.”

A viewer shook their head, focussing on a man in martial gear.

This man’s collar bore the insignia of the Emperor Abyss Palace, surprisingly marking him as a member of this place.

If the Sky-covering Demon Emperor were here, he would surely recognize this man, who was previously in the Emperor Jun Bamboo Forest trying to seize the Emperor Dragon Ball, as Sikong Lie, the Deacon from the Emperor Abyss Palace!

It turns out Sikong Lie was also skilled in alchemy techniques and was here to compete in the Pill Venerate Conference.

After all, the first prize of the conference was extraordinarily enticing, featuring even the legendary Thirty-Three Heavenly Hongmeng Technique, which was tempting even for those from the Emperor Abyss Palace.

However, with Danhuang Yang Lie in full force, no one believed Sikong Lie could win the championship, at best seizing the second prize.

The Qing Family, on the other hand, sent Qing Zhen Nan and Qing Qiuyun to the competition.

Soon, many alchemists entered the field, but the position arranged for Qing Qiuyun’s alchemy cauldron was empty, without a trace of her.

”The leading lady seriously isn’t coming today, what about Ye Chen?”

Seeing this, Qing Zhen Nan secretly frowned, knowing that Qing Qiuyun had given her competition spot to Ye Chen; she herself wouldn’t be competing, but with the bell of competition ringing, Ye Chen had yet to appear, could it be that the kid didn’t dare show up?

”Dad, that kid Ye Chen isn’t coming.”

Yang Teng saw this scene, his face full of joy, ”I heard that kid offended Qian and Kun, and is probably not daring to show up at today’s conference.”

”Humph, if he doesn’t come, it’s his good fortune; otherwise, this old man certainly wouldn’t let him off easily.”

Danhuang Yang Lie snorted, harboring resentment towards Ye Chen for losing face at the Qing Family’s banquet.

”Elder Kun, how come that kid isn’t here yet?”

On the judges’ panel, Elder Qian Xuan Canghe frowned; he was hoping to torment Ye Chen, never expecting him to be missing.

”No worries, just wait a bit longer; he can’t possibly not come.”

Xuan Cangxing lightly tapped the table with his finger, not overly anxious.

”Apologies, I’m late.”
