The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 1234: Divine Alchemy Palace

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Or had he purchased the fur and materials?

After all, he was a top-notch alchemist from the Kunlun Mountains in the ancient times, and cultivators were always in need of pills. There was no way that the Alchemy Divine Lord was poor.

If one wanted to avoid hundreds or thousands of years of bitter cultivation, they would have to buy pills. As such, given that the Alchemy Divine Lord could refine the pills required for the highest level cultivators in the Kunlun Mountains in ancient times, he would at least be as rich as the Forging Divine Lord, if not richer.

Ye Chen gulped. Nie Baijian could tell what he was thinking, and said, “Don’t be jealous, kid. You’ll be able to do that in the future too.”

“Think about it. You’ve obtained Chen Anping’s artifact forging technique, and will soon obtain the Alchemy Divine Lord’s alchemy technique…”

“Your cultivation and strength will grow to an extremely terrifying level, and you will have everyone waiting in line for you to refine pills and artifacts for them.”

...
Even Nie Baijian was a little envious.

Although he was a Dao Integration realm expert, his artifacts had all been forged by Chen Anping, and the pills that he had used came from the Alchemy Divine Lord.

He had to act accordingly in order to curry their favor.

It could even be said that in ancient times, most of the experts worked for the Forging Divine Lord and the Alchemy Divine Lord.

Whenever they obtained a treasure, they would sell it to buy materials and then spend money to get the two of them or their disciples to help them forge an artifact that they liked or refine pills with excellent effects.

Ye Chen had gone much further than him in this regard, as he was learning how to refine artifacts and pills from the very best.

…

The luxurious palace had several floors.

On the plaque at the entrance, there were a few large words engraved in flamboyant calligraphy text… Divine Alchemy Palace!

Ye Chen felt that since it looked so grand, there should be quite a number of medicinal pills left behind, which should be enough to heal Ye Luo’s injuries.

Ye Chen walked over to the palace door and pushed it lightly. Suddenly, he sensed that something had been triggered, and quickly noticed fifteen puppets rushing toward him. They were holding various immortal artifacts, and their auras were even stronger than the twelve immortal artifacts from earlier.

Seven of them were third-level Semi Divine realm puppets, while the other eight had reached the fourth level of the Semi Divine realm.

It was almost impossible to find such a lineup in the outside world. However, to the Alchemy Divine Lord, it was probably just a casual arrangement. After all, this was only one of his many palaces, and he had probably built it here alongside Chen Anping for his retirement.

In any case, who would dare to attack his territory in ancient times?

No one!

Ye Chen sent a third-level Semi Divine realm puppet Fighter flying with one punch!

His combat strength had increased again after awakening part of his bloodline.

Swoosh! Whoosh!

The sound of air being torn apart rang out as three fourth-level Semi Divine puppets joined forces and attacked, forcing Ye Chen to retreat dozens of meters away.

The other puppets also rushed over and attacked fiercely. They cooperated with each other well, which put Ye Chen at a disadvantage, and he was being constantly pushed back and sustaining injuries.

Bang! Bang!

Ye Chen was sent flying repeatedly. His body was riddled with wounds and his face was pale. He decided not to hold back anymore, and quickly took out the sword immortal artifact that he had obtained from the Blood Spirit Clan earlier and unleashed several slashes, which sent seven third-level Semi Divine realm puppets flying.

However, it was useless. The puppets did not feel pain, nor did they retreat, which made them troublesome opponents.

Ye Chen dodged the fist of a fourth-level Semi Divine realm puppet, which left a big hole in the wall behind him. He kicked it away from him and created some distance between them.

“Masters, how are these puppets made?”

“Do they rely on spirit stones as an energy source?”

“Or do they have the ability to absorb spiritual energy from their surroundings?”

For puppets, these were the two types. The ones that used spirit stones as their energy source were able to unleash more power, but had limited lifespans. Once they ran out of energy, they would stop working.

On the other hand, the second type could continue fighting for much longer, but as they relied on the ambient spiritual energy in their surroundings, they were weaker in comparison.

Incidentally, Qing Jian belonged to the second type.

“Hmm… I recognize these puppets.”

“I can tell that it was forged by a disciple of my lineage,” Chen Anping said, “They are from the first type. Their cores are at their hearts, so just attack there.”

“But you have to be careful. Don’t attack the left side of the heart.”

When these puppets were refined, explosive substances were also added. Even if they were crippled, they could self-destruct to kill the enemy. Therefore, if Ye Chen made the wrong move, the puppets would explode.

“Understood!”

Ye Chen grabbed an approaching puppet and clawed at its heart with his left hand. He pierced its flesh and pulled out a white stone that looked like a ‘heart’. Following that, the puppet’s aura extinguished and it fell to the ground in a heap.

The white stone flickered with a dazzling luster. The spiritual energy contained on it far exceeded that of a normal spirit stone.

It was an immortal stone!

Generally speaking, a single immortal stone was enough for an early-stage Semi Divine realm expert to cultivate for a period of time. There were also grades for immortal stones, such as low-grade, middle-grade, high-grade, and supreme-grade. In the past, the Primordial Chaos and Dao Integration realm cultivators in the Kunlun Mountains had used immortal stones to pay for pills or artifacts.

These immortal stones were usually produced in large mineral veins. However, the large mineral veins in the Kunlun Mountains had been plundered by the Blood Spirit Clan, so there were none left in the Kunlun Mountains.

Ye Chen tossed the puppet aside and moved like a bolt of lightning. He swept past seven or eight puppets and snatched their immortal stones.

He then drew his sword and hacked away at two more puppets.

Soon, all of the immortal stones that acted as hearts for the puppets were in his hands. As for these puppets, since they could still fight if they were given an energy source, Ye Chen kept them in his storage ring. If properly deployed, they would increase the strength available to the Radiant Hall.
