The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 867: Who?

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Despite everyone’s enthusiastic greetings, they just waved their hands and impatiently chased them away as if swatting away buzzing flies.

They had been guarding this place for many years, so they naturally had the qualifications to do this.

The experts and alchemists did not have any complaints when they saw the two of them acting like this. Instead, they all had smiles on their faces and nodded

their heads.

Soon, Ye Chen, disguised as Ye Shitian, came up to the two elders and cupped his hands. Just as he was about to speak, an indifferent voice rang out.

“Do you have a token?”

“Seniors, I don’t. I just wanted to ask…”

Before Ye Chen could finish his sentence, one of the old gatekeepers flicked his finger and a wave of energy surged wildly.

This wave of energy was like a sharp arrow, and contained monstrous killing intent.

There was no room for questions!

“Hmph, since you don’t have one, then get lost! Without a token, one cannot come within 20 meters of the Core Tower. This is a rule that has not changed for thousands of years. Violators will be killed!

Ye Chen’s expression changed slightly when he saw the incoming attack. He quickly circulated his cultivation technique and threw a punch.

Ten Thousand Buddha Vajra Fist!

Buddhist light spread out, and golden runes of light covered his fist and arm.

He was well aware of the strengths of this fist technique. If he became more proficient with it, he would be able to crush mountains with his fist.

Bang!

The two forces collided and Ye Chen’s blood surged. He took three steps back before barely managing to stabilize himself.

The old man who attacked was obviously surprised.

After all, he was already aware of Ye Chen’s cultivation level, which to him was no different from an ant’s.

However, this ant had actually withstood his attack?

“Why does this feel a little like… The Buddhist Sect?”

When the old man saw this scene, he exclaimed in surprise. Then, he stared at Ye Chen with interest and said, “Who taught you this fist technique? What sect are you from? Tell me!”

The old man knew very well that Ye Chen’s fist technique did not seem to be practiced by the sects of the Kunlun Mountains, and it felt like an ancient martial technique.

Ye Chen’s gaze was determined. Naturally, he would not reveal Mo Ning s identity or existence. He replied, “Cultivation techniques are a martial artist’s secrets. I’m afraid that it’s not appropriate to ask me for that information.”

The old man did not expect Ye Chen to dare to refuse. After all, throughout these years, everyone had tried to please them.

This brat…

Who did he think he was?

He was a person who aimed too high! Ridiculous!

He stood up and was about to attack again when the other long-haired old man stood up and grabbed his hand.

“Old Yang, fighting with a junior is too much. Didn’t you notice that he doesn t have an aura of alchemy around him? Moreover, he is only a saint realm cultivator, so he is definitely not from around here. He was probably brought in by someone else.”

“If word gets out that you attacked a junior like this, the Core Tower s reputation will be tarnished.”

The old man who spoke had a kind expression on his face. He then said to Ye Chen, “Kid, go back to where you came from. The rules of the Core Tower cannot be broken. First, you don’t have a token. Second, you don’t have anyone

to introduce you.”

“Also, Old Yang’s temper is very hot. If you don’t leave now, I can’t help you. The long-haired old man released his hand after he finished speaking. Old Yang snorted coldly, “Brat, hurry up and get lost. Consider yourself lucky this time! If it wasn’t for Old Fang saving your life, you would have become a cold corpse

long ago.”

Obviously, the long-haired old man with a kind face was the one being referred to as Old Fang.

They thought that Ye Chen would leave obediently, but instead, he took a step forward.

Old Yang was enraged. “If you don’t leave now, no one can save you!”

Even Old Fang shook his head, not planning to persuade him anymore.

He would only give people one chance. If they did not cherish it, then it would be left up to fate.

However, Ye Chen looked at Old Fang and said, “Senior Fang, I didn’t come here to enter the Core Tower, but to look for someone.”

“Look for someone?”

Hearing this, the two old gatekeepers were stunned.

They had been here for so many years, but this was the first time someone had come here to look for someone.

“Kid, are you planning to waste our time?” Old Yang sneered. “This is not the place to find someone. Get lost!”

Old Fang waved his hand to stop Old Yang from making a move. Then, he hesitated for a few seconds and said, “Little Brother, since you are unfamiliar with this place, tell us who you are looking for. If we know, we will definitely tell you.”

Ye Chen was delighted and his impression of this old man improved. He quickly said, “Senior Fang, this person’s name is Ling Yuan. It’s said that he lives in the Core Tower. I wonder if this person is inside…”

Hearing this, the expressions of the two old gatekeepers turned strange.

The name Ling Yuan was not one they were familiar with. Furthermore, with regards to living in the Core Tower, only one person was qualified to live on the first floor!

However, this person’s name was not Ling Yuan!

Nonsense!

Old Yang waved his hand and said impatiently, “No one with this name exists within a five-kilometer radius, let alone inside the Core Tower. Alright, that’s all for the questions. You can get lost now! Don’t challenge my bottom line!”

Old Fang nodded at Ye Chen. “Old Yang is right. There is indeed no such person here. You must be looking in the wrong place.”

Ye Chen let out a long sigh. The trail had been completely cut off.

If there was no such person here, then Lin Qingxuan had made a mistake.

Perhaps his old friend had already died.

“Thankyou, Seniors. Farewell.”

Ye Chen then walked back toward Duan Huai An and the others.

He could only take it one step at a time. Since he could not find a backer, he had to find a place to stay first.

After Ye Chen, Duan Huai An, and the others left, Old Yang said to Old Fang, “Old Fang, why is the sun rising from the west today? You protected that kid again and again. Could it be that you’ve taken a fancy to that kid and want to take him as your disciple? Let me remind you, that kid has mortal roots. He’s a good-for-nothing in the Kunlun Mountains. Whoever takes him in as their disciple will be extremely unlucky.”

Old Fang watched Ye Chen’s disappearing figure and muttered, “The punch that kid used just now felt a little familiar. It’s a Buddhist fist technique. You should have seen it too. I’ve been a Buddhist for many years. Although I returned to asceticism later, I still have some feelings for Buddhism.” “Speaking of which, I haven’t seen such a Buddhist disciple in a long time. I have no idea where this fellow came from.

Only then did Old Yang realize what was going on.

“That’s true. But looking at that kid’s strength, he probably doesn’t have a high status in the Buddhist Sect. Don’t worry. From now on, he’s probably just going to remain a passerby to us. The area around the Core Tower is filled with danger. If this kid continues to wander around, he might be killed one day. It’s not safe recently…”

Before they could finish, a strange tremor came from the Core Tower behind them, and the entire world seemed to shake.

Strange phenomena appeared one after another, and the thick scent of medicinal fragrance overflowed. There was even a sheen of golden light surrounding the Core Tower!
