The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 234: Reforging (Part 1)

“Yes, I’ll forge it myself,” Ye Chen said lightly, as if he was talking about something ordinary.

Hearing this, Zhu Ya and Elder He gasped, and they looked wide-eyed at Ye Chen as if they were looking at a lunatic.

After a while, Elder He laughed.

“Kid, you said you want to reforge this sword? Do you know how to reforge a sword? Do you know the six techniques of swordsmithing? Do you know the seven tenets of swordsmithing? Do you know what kind of fire tempers which material best?”

Elder He fired off questions in quick succession.

Even if this kid was born into a swordsmithing family and was influenced by his surroundings since he was young, he still did not have the right to reforge that sword!

A single error would destroy the sword!

“I don’t, but I’m the owner of the Dragonslayer Sword, and thus have the final say in reforging it.”

Ye Chen’s tone was unquestionable.

“You-”

Elder He pointed at Ye Chen angrily, but was left speechless.

“Hmph!”

He waved his sleeve and snorted coldly.

Updɑted on BοXƝ0VEL.cοm “I have nothing to say to an arrogant brat like you! However, please remember that your ignorant actions will destroy a precious sword! You’ll be struck by lightning for that!”

Zhu Ya bit her lips. She had never thought that Ye Chen would want to reforge his own sword!

“Mr. Ye, don’t you want to reconsider this?”

Although the Xuan Shattering Sword was already Ye Chen’s, it was originally the Zhu family’s most precious treasure.

If anything happened to it, she would not be able to explain herself to her ancestors.

Ye Chen shook his head.

“There’s no need to dwell on the matter. 1’11 reforge the sword now. Have you prepared everything 1 asked you to prepare?”

“Mr. Ye… Everything is ready, behind the third door.”

“Alright.”

Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed as he headed toward the Xuan Shattering Stone and the Dragonslayer Sword.

When Ye Chen arrived in front of the Xuan Shattering Stone, he gathered his true qi and grabbed both sides of the stone. He then picked it up and headed toward the third door.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Ya and Elder He’s pupils constricted slightly, but they did not say anything. Due to the high density of the Xuan Shattering Stone, it weighed ten thousand pounds. Ye Chen’s ability to lift it spoke volumes about his strength.

Elder He snorted coldly and followed behind.

“You’ve got some strength, but so what? 1 want to see how a brat like you, who hasn’t even grown hair down there, is going to reforge this sword!”

Bang!

The third door was kicked open, revealing a large space, as well as all the materials needed to reforge the sword. Ye Chen placed the Xuan Shattering Stone into the central forging furnace and immediately ignited the flames.

He noticed that Zhu Ya and Elder He had also entered, but did not say anything. Ordinary people would not be able to learn how to reforge the sword simply by observing the formation. If they wanted to see the process, they could.

Raging flames condensed around the Xuan Shattering Stone, and Ye Chen grabbed the spirit stones that he had prepared in advance and held them in his palm. Then, he flung them out fiercely!

North, south, east, west, the main palace,and the fire palace!

The six spirit stones landed on the ground to form a formation around the Xuan Shattering Stone!

Then, Ye Chen waved his hand, and all of the materials flew into the furnace. He then gathered his true qi and infused it into the flames.

The temperature of the entire room suddenly rose steeply, and turned the Xuan Shattering Stone red!

The Dragonslayer Sword that was embedded within it also trembled slightly. He forced out a drop of blood essence from his fingertip, and drew an ancient rune on the furnace.

When the rune was finished, the atmosphere in the room changed completely.

Zhu Ya could not help but shiver, and Elder He’s brows furrowed.

Although he could feel the changes in the room, he had never seen this swordsmithing method.

He sneered, “Parlor tricks!”

His pride would never allow him to yield to others in this field!

At this moment, Ye Chen suddenly closed his eyes and his body emitted a powerful aura. He quickly performed hand seals, and his movements became faster and faster.

Faint traces of true qi could be seen wrapped around his fingers.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes. He spread out his hands and used his true qi to manipulate the materials within the furnace’s flames.

The flames became even brighter!!

At this moment, no one could see what was going on inside the furnace. The only thing they could sense was the spiritual energy overflowing out of it.

Ye Chen’s face was a little pale. He could feel that the true qi in his dantian was being drained rapidly. The amount of true qi required to reforge the sword was simply astronomical!

His back was drenched in sweat, and his body was weakened!

Despite this, he did not stop forming hand seals. Then, the flames burned even brighter, and an illusory image of a fire dragon curled around the Xuan Shattering Stone could be seen.

Soon, this fire dragon took the shape of a sword.

The dragon’s roar reverberated throughout the entire room. The powerful force caused Zhu Ya and Elder He to retreat more than ten steps.

Elder He was stunned.

“How is this possible?”

He stared at the sword condensed within the flames. Although the reforging process was not complete, the fact that it had gotten this far meant that Ye Chen was truly reforging this sword!

He was really reforging the sword, and in such a shocking way too!

In the thousands of years of Huaxia’s history, no one had ever reforged a sword like this!

How did he do it without the help of those swordsmithing tools?

Most importantly, everything was too perfect!

This revelation was like a heavy hammer that slammed into Elder He’s heart. His previous arrogance and disdain had already disappeared.

Right now, he could only admit defeat.

Pa!

He suddenly slapped his own face.

Zhu Ya’s eyes were filled with shock. She looked questioningly at Elder He, “Elder He, you…”

Elder He stared at Ye Chen and gulped.

“This slap was firstly because I was looking down on him, and secondly, I wanted to see if I was dreaming!”

“He… Who is he? What technique is this?”

“He definitely surpasses the swordsmiths of Huaxia!”

Hearing Elder He’s high evaluation, Zhu Ya’s was shocked and horrified.

Where did Ye Chen come from?

Other than that five-year blank period, she knew everything about Ye Chen.

However, even if he had obtained a heaven-defying fortuitous encounter during those five years, it was impossible for him to have mastered swordsmithing like this!

No matter what, the Zhu family could not be allowed to become enemies with Ye Chen!

Absolutely not!

At that moment, Ye Chen felt a sense of exhaustion assaulting his body.

This was the first time he had used a formation to forge a sword. He had thought that it would be easy, but who would have thought that it would be this exhausting?

An endless stream of true qi flowed from his dantian toward the Dragonslayer Sword. In the end, his dantian’s true qi was almost exhausted.

However, the Dragonslayer Sword was gradually taking shape, and he could hear its blade humming..
