The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 2323: Chapter 2297: Sweeping Through! (Five More)

”By the way, when do we go find Ye Chen?” Ji Lin asked eagerly.

The Eternal Sacred King glanced at the vortex above the demon race, pondered for a moment, and then said, ”It’s not yet possible.”

”I still need to use the power of you three.”

”The resurrection of the Demon Emperor is not that simple.”

”Neither Ye Chen nor I can intervene.”

”The three of you are extremely crucial in this game!”

...

After Ye Chen left Ge Qing’s office, he immediately returned to his dormitory, closed the door, and began his seclusion.

Naturally, his seclusion was for refining those hundred thousand Soul Iron Artifact Embryos!

Keep in mind, the Tianchen Auction that he was participating in gathered the most prominent and powerful individuals of the Lingwu Continent!

By the standards of Huaxia, it would be equivalent to a gathering of Forbes-ranked tycoons!

These people were certainly not short on money!

To overpower them at this auction and secure extremely powerful flames, how could Ye Chen not make ample preparations?

As for looting like the demon race, it was naturally impossible for Ye Chen to do so.

This time, using such illegal means would result in certain death!

Moreover, Ye Chen’s plan was more than just to overpower!

His plan was to sweep!

To sweep the entire auction!

What does sweeping mean?

It means, to monopolize every treasure that catches his eye!!!

Thinking of this, Ye Chen almost started to laugh, monopolizing all treasures, then after the auction his strength would definitely increase significantly, right?

And most importantly, if the Dragonheart Fruit was also among the items at the auction, then even Chu Ying’s injury could be healed! No need for the stubborn help of the Ancient Medical God!

That really would be a joy for everyone!

He also knew how much resentment this would generate! If he really monopolized everything, those celebrities would probably want to kill someone!

But what Ye Chen feared least was attracting hatred, weren’t there already many who hated him?

Wasn’t he still living well up to now?

He didn’t even fear the Heavenly Dao Palace of the Divine Kingdom, so what were those martial arts tycoons of the Lingwu Continent compared to that?

Moreover, if someone really harbored malicious intentions because he dominated everything at the auction, thought thoughts they shouldn’t have!

Ye Chen wouldn’t mind claiming all the fortunes of those elite scions after the auction!

With this thought, Ye Chen hesitated no longer, waved his hand, and his dormitory was filled with densely packed Soul Iron Artifact Embryos, as he began forcefully refining them!

One hundred thousand! That’s not a small number! Even though Ye Chen, approaching Sealed Gate, had now improved his proficiency in refining Soul Devices, and his speed was much faster than at the beginning, the number was still overwhelmingly large!

It’s estimated that he would need to refine day and night, tirelessly, to possibly complete all these Soul Devices before the auction!

It was tough, but worth it!

As time passed, crude Soul Iron Artifact Embryos, engraved with mysterious runes, emitted strong soul power fluctuations, and their shape also became sharp and much more aesthetically pleasing!

...

A week later, at a barren mountain outside the Divine Fire Academy, a middle-aged man sat cross-legged on a rock, his eyes slightly closed, seemingly deep in meditation.

This middle-aged man, with a face as handsome as jade, sharp brows and bright eyes, wore a simple white robe. Although no longer young, he still appeared elegant and extraordinarily handsome.

Moreover, he bore a striking resemblance to Chu Ying!

Besides, the aura emanating from his body was immensely powerful, even surpassing Ge Qing by a significant margin. Yet, it perfectly melded with the surrounding environment, making it feel entirely unobtrusive.

This person was none other than Chu Hong, the family head of the Chu family from the Nine Remoteness Kingdom!

He was also Chu Ying’s father!

Suddenly, Chu Hong slightly opened his eyes and looked towards a certain direction in the sky.

There, a burst of golden light quickly flickered, and in the next instant, it had already landed on the mountaintop.

As the golden light dissipated, a young man approached.

It was Ye Chen!

Ye Chen was slightly surprised to see Chu Hong.

He was supposed to contact Manager Chu from Wangshen Building, a powerful merchant from one of the ten great cities in the Divine Kingdom!

Why had Chu Hong from the Nine Remoteness Kingdom’s Moon Pavilion shown up?

Despite both having the surname Chu, one was from the Divine Kingdom, and the other from the Nine Remoteness Kingdom. How could they be connected?

Chu Hong, noticing Ye Chen’s astonishment, smiled and said, ”Young man, I know you don’t understand.”

”There are some things I can’t explain.”

”In the ancient times, Wangshen Building in the Divine Kingdom and Moon Pavilion in the Lingwu Continent were both controlled by one person.”

”Although the Divine Kingdom and the Nine Remoteness Kingdom are hostile, we are merchants, and merchants only chase profits. Hatred between powers has nothing to do with merchants.”

”Also, previously, Wangshen Building’s Manager Chu came to the Nine Remoteness Kingdom to collect some items and even talked about several amusing incidents. I asked him for a portrait, and only then did I learn it was you.”

”I will personally handle this transaction.”

Although Ye Chen still had many questions, the merchant’s world, where money and resources are paramount, seemed to explain it.

Ye Chen bowed slightly, ”Uncle, it’s an honor to meet you.”

In his words, there was also a hint of guilt! Calling Chu Hong ’Uncle’ instead of ’Manager Chu’ indicated that Ye Chen did not consider Chu Hong an outsider.

Furthermore, it was due to him that Chu Ying had been severely injured, forcing her to rely on an Ice Coffin to sustain her life!

And it was still uncertain when she could recover!

Chu Hong waved his hand, ”There’s no need for formalities between us.”

”I can’t favor you in matters concerning Wangshen Building.”

”Everything must be done according to the rules.”

Ye Chen hesitated, then said, ”Uncle, I will surely restore Chu Ying.”

Chu Hong also stood up, patted Ye Chen on the shoulder, and smiled lightly, ”All right, young man, don’t worry so much. I know, my silly daughter truly likes you. Everything she did was her own choice, willingly.”

”And you’ve already done well, haven’t you? If it were someone else, they probably wouldn’t have been able to preserve Little Ying’s life, right? As her father, I should be the one thanking you!”

Ye Chen’s actions had already been approved by him, the Chu Family Patriarch!

”However...” Chu Hong’s face showed a trace of sorrow, ”That Dragonheart Fruit is really hard to find. After that incident with Ying’er, I even mobilized the entire power of the Chu family to search for it, sparing no expense!”

”We even looked to the connections with the Demon Race and the Divine Kingdom... but still, we found nothing...”

Hearing this, Ye Chen’s heart also sank!

Originally, Ye Chen had hoped to acquire the Dragonheart Fruit at the Tianchen Auction, but now seeing that even the Chu family couldn’t find it in the Divine Kingdom suggested that the Dragonheart Fruit was a rare item even there!
