The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 841: Rejection

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Some people were even thinking about how to curry favor with Ye Chen and the Medical God sect. After all, becoming Mr. Jingshui’s disciple was akin to ascending to the heavens!

In their opinion, anyone would accept such an attractive offer without hesitation.

However, Ye Chen remained calm and did not reply for a long time.

Mr. Jingshui seemed to have thought of something and looked at Duan Huai An in the distance.

“Sect Master Duan, you don’t mind, right? Having another master is beneficial to your disciple.”

Duan Huai An had a strange expression on his face. He did not know why Mr. Jingshui would suddenly act like this.

This was completely illogical.

To put it bluntly, Mr. Jingshui’s actions were like a weasel paying a visit to a chicken.

Even so, he still cupped his hands and said, “As his master, I naturally have no objections. However, everything depends on Ye Chen’s choice.”

Mr. Jingshui nodded and looked at Ye Chen. “How about it?”

Ye Chen frowned. He could sense Little Gold’s anger, who was trembling in his arms, seemingly telling him not to accept it.

He stared at Mr. Jingshui with interest and curiously asked, “If I’m not wrong, it shouldn’t be that easy to be your disciple. What do you want?”

Mr. Jingshui laughed and stroked his beard.

“It’s easy to talk to smart people. My request is very simple. I just need you to give me a gift to acknowledge me as your master. After all, I don’t take in disciples casually.”

“What kind of gift do you want?” Ye Chen narrowed his eyes.

Mr. Jingshui reached out and pointed at Little Gold in Ye Chen’s arms. “I want the spiritual beast in your arms!”

Ye Chen’s expression changed drastically when he heard this, and anger filled his heart.

Exchanging Little Gold for the fellow’s protection? As if he would ever do such a thing!

He had a hundred ancient mighty experts behind him. What was Mr. Jingshui in comparison?

The surrounding crowd was also in an uproar as they came to a realization of why this was happening.

Mr. Jingshui did not fancy Ye Chen’s talent at all, but rather wanted that powerful spiritual beast!

After all, this spiritual beast had managed to destroy Mr. Jingshui’s formation, so it was obviously extraordinary.

Even so, Ye Chen would still benefit greatly from handing over the spiritual beast. There was no need to choose between a small spiritual beast and the protection of a mighty expert!

Even if this spiritual beast was heaven-defying, could it be more powerful than Mr. Jingshui?

Ji Siqing glanced at Ye Chen and hesitated. She wanted to say something, but did not say it in the end.

She could not make the decision for him.

“Do you still need to consider my offer?” Mr. Jingshui urged, “Ye Chen, I can give you everything you want.”

Suddenly, Ye Chen looked up and shook his head.

“I’m sorry. I don’t want you to be my master. Also, Little Gold will always be with me, whether now or in the future. It isn’t something I will ever trade or give away, so don’t even think about it.”

He rejected him mercilessly!

No one had expected Ye Chen to refuse, and so confidently too!

To think that he could say such a thing!

The crowd gasped. They could not understand what Ye Chen was thinking!

Ye Chen’s reply was equivalent to slapping Mr. Jingshui in the face!

They looked at Mr. Jingshui again and saw that the usually calm Mr. Jingshui had a cold and dark expression on his face.

“So, are you rejecting me? No one has ever dared to reject me. Have you thought about the consequences?”

A threat from an expert of this level was terrifying!

Furthermore, Mr. Jingshui’s spiritual pressure came crashing down on Ye Chen!

Little Gold’s fur stood on end, and in response, a faint light enveloped Ye Chen, preventing him from getting hurt and ablating the spiritual pressure.

“I’ll ask you again. Are you willing to give me your spiritual beast?”

“I’m not willing,” Ye Chen replied coldly.

His attitude was firm and decisive.

“Good! Very good!”

Mr. Jingshui suddenly laughed. He waved his finger, and an invisible force rippled out.

Seconds later, Ye Chen felt his internal organs shaken by a powerful impact, and his body flew out.

He only managed to stabilize himself after a full twenty meters, and a trickle of blood appeared at the corner of his mouth.

“I don’t like being rejected. Ye Chen, don’t think I don’t know what you’ve done here! You killed the elder and disciples of the Cyan Phoenix Sect for no reason. Your killing intent is too strong. Although you have advanced, I don’t plan to bring you to the Dragon Cleansing Pool, as you will eventually walk the demonic path.”

“Since you’re so arrogant, think of a way to get up there yourself!”

The surroundings suddenly fell silent. No one expected Mr. Jingshui to be so angry to the point that he broke his own rules and refused to bring Ye Chen to the Dragon Cleansing Pool!

Without Mr. Jingshui’s help, ordinary people wouldn’t be able to climb this mountain!

They even sympathized with Ye Chen. The spot that he had worked so hard for was mercilessly taken away.

However, Mr. Jingshui had the right to do so.

Wei Ying looked at Ye Chen who was injured and standing alone in the distance, and her heart ached.

“Mr. Ye, I’ll accompany you.”

Wei Ying was about to take a step forward when Ye Chen waved his hand. “It’s okay. I can do it. You can go on ahead. This opportunity is very important to you.”

“But…” Wei Ying wanted to say something, but she ultimately did not.

Ji Siqing looked at Mister Jingshui, who had a dark expression on his face, and felt a little angry.

The other party’s actions were truly despicable.

She no longer had a good impression of this legendary figure, and her fists were balled up.

However, she could not help Ye Chen now.

The only thing she could do was to go to the Dragon Cleansing Pool to see if there were any opportunities for Ye Chen.

Ye Chen’s current strength meant that he could dominate his peers. However, Mr. Jingshui’s actions today were equivalent to making him a pariah among the cultivators and forces of the Kunlun Mountains.

Ye Chen’s future life would not be easy.

Suddenly, she thought of something and quickly walked toward Ye Chen.

“Ye Chen, are you really not going to apologize to Mr. Jingshui? This opportunity is very rare.”

Ye Chen shook his head.

“That’s impossible. Besides, Mr. Jingshui isn’t anything special in my eyes.”

“However, it’s a little troublesome not to go to the Dragon Cleansing Pool. Do we really have to rely on this person?”

Ji Siqing wanted to laugh when she heard such arrogant words. She did not blame Ye Chen. Instead, she looked at the stairs and said, “Ye Chen, we don’t have to rely on Mr. Jingshui. Mr. Jingshui just has the means to help us cross the Heavenly Stairway.”

“Heavenly Stairway?”

Ye Chen looked at the stairway that led to the top of the mountain.

Ji Siqing nodded.

“Ordinary cultivators can’t ascend the Heavenly Stairway, as it contains the power of immortals and countless powerful cultivators. Most people can’t even take a few steps, let alone reach the top.”

“Since ancient times, we don’t even know if there have been people who were able to successfully use the Heavenly Stairway to reach the top of the mountain.”
