The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 2460: Chapter 2434: Suddenly! (Second Update)

He had just arrived at Wanshi Mountain, ready to search for the location of those ruins, but suddenly sensed the fluctuations of battle.

Originally, he was not keen on meddling in others’ affairs, but the battlefield where the Earth Flood Dragon fought with Zhang Zi and others was precisely on his way to the ruins, and to Ye Chen, the Earth Flood Dragon was also considered good material. His Earth Dragon Armor had been destroyed, and he needed to refine a new protective magical treasure.

So, he decided to act!

In the next moment, three Dragonslayer Swords turned to dust, and a mighty soul power burst forth instantly, engulfing the Earth Flood Dragon!

The Earth Flood Dragon was already severely injured, and its divine soul was inevitably weakened, how could it withstand Ye Chen’s attacks with his three Heavenly Soul Swords?

The Earth Flood Dragon let out a mournful cry as its Dragon Eyes quickly dimmed, and its massive body heavily crashed to the ground.

Ye Chen waved his hand, collecting the body of the Earth Flood Dragon into his bag, then turned to look at Zhang Zi and the others.

The few who had been in despair, preparing to meet their deaths, now looked at Ye Chen with foolish expressions, momentarily unable to comprehend what had just happened.

The next moment, sheer ecstasy ensued, the wild joy of surviving after a catastrophe!

They immediately consumed healing pills to adjust their injuries, and their complexions instantly revived somewhat. Ye Chen had appeared too suddenly at first, and they hadn’t noticed, but now they were shocked to discover that Ye Chen was merely at the Sealed Gate level of cultivation!

However, after considering it, they found it not entirely unacceptable.

Firstly, the Earth Flood Dragon had already been gravely wounded; secondly, what Ye Chen had just used seemed to be a Soul Device, and a very powerful one at that!

Being from Divine Kingdom, they were naturally familiar with Soul Devices, but to use such a powerful Soul Device at the Sealed Gate level of cultivation, and to exert its power, Ye Chen must be a soul cultivator, right?

A soul cultivator possessing a Soul Device, eliminating a severely injured Great Void Realm Demon Beast, didn’t seem too far-fetched after all.

Ye Chen, on the other hand, had no interest in these people and took the body of the Great Void Realm Earth Flood Dragon for himself.

Seeing Ye Chen take the body, the others were somewhat indifferent, but a glint flashed in Zhang Zi’s eyes.

The Earth Flood Dragon had been brought down because of their severe injuries, how could it be so easily taken away by someone else?

Zhang Zi suddenly came forward with a smile, addressing Ye Chen, ”Thank you, Young Master, for the rescue. The Young Master has slain a Great Void Demon Beast at the Sealed Gate level of cultivation, showing extraordinary strength. May I ask if the Young Master is a soul cultivator?”

Ye Chen glanced at Zhang Zi, his gaze indifferent. Although the woman was attractive, she somehow left Ye Chen with an unpleasant feeling, and he responded coolly, ”You could say that.”

As for these strangers, Ye Chen naturally had no interest in revealing any details about himself.

A fleeting trace of coldness flickered in Zhang Zi’s beautiful eyes as she continued, ”We came to Wanshi Mountain to mine some top-grade ores, but inadvertently provoked this Earth Flood Dragon. Now that the Earth Flood Dragon has been dealt with, since the Young Master has saved us, would you be willing to join us in mining those ores as our way of repaying you?”

The gentlemen heard this and exchanged looks filled with strange expressions. What was with Zhang Zi?

Even if Ye Chen had saved them, there was no need to share a piece of the prize with him, was there?

And repay him?

Ha, that was hardly in Zhang Zi’s nature!

Ye Chen’s eyebrows rose slightly. He had not yet obtained the Sky-reaching Stone, and even if he did, refining it into a weapon also required the addition of many top-grade materials. With the treasures he currently possessed, it seemed he was somewhat lacking, and these top-grade ores were exactly what he needed!

He nodded immediately and said, ”I can do that!”

After that, they headed towards the location of the top-grade spiritual veins discovered by Zhao Xian.

On the way, they engaged in conversation, and Ye Chen learned their names. The men were Chen Xin, Wang Dahai, Zhou Meng, and Li Wu, and he also learned that they all came from the Heavenly Nine Sect.

Wang Dahai suddenly smiled at Ye Chen, ”Young Master Ye, with your formidable strength, you could give the upcoming selection competition a try. You should be able to join some sects.”

Zhou Meng added, ”Indeed, looking at Young Master Ye’s talents, it’s not impossible for you to even join those major powers.”

Chen Xin then laughed heartily, ”To participate in the selection competition of a major power, one needs an Upper God Token. If Young Master Ye has a need, I could try to help you obtain one.”

Originally, everyone was merely flattering Ye Chen. Major powers? Ha... Could an existence from the Sealed Gate possibly join a major power?

If Ye Chen had even a little self-awareness, he wouldn’t entertain the impractical idea of joining the competition!

As for Chen Xin, he simply wanted to do a favor for Ye Chen casually while showing off his own background and capabilities in front of Zhang Zi. He never actually thought that Ye Chen would seriously ask him to get an Upper God Token.

At this moment, however, Ye Chen responded indifferently, ”No need, I have one.”

Everyone was shocked to hear this!

Including Zhang Zi!

And in Zhang Zi’s beautiful eyes, there flickered a hint of delight.

Chen Xin and the others looked back and forth at each other, then laughed it off, not really taking it seriously. They just assumed Ye Chen was boasting.

But Zhang Zi’s eyes sparkled; although she had no special skills, she had seen her fair share of men and could vaguely sense a person’s true nature!

In Zhang Zi’s view, Ye Chen’s nature was very pure. He was not one to make unfounded boasts.

Which meant, it was very likely that Ye Chen truly possessed an Upper God Token!

In the Divine Kingdom’s rules, whoever possesses an item owns it. If you can’t even protect an Upper God Token, what qualification do you have to participate in the selection?

Soon, the group arrived at the previously discovered spiritual veins. Ye Chen, looking at the various top-grade ores in front of him, couldn’t help but show a joyful expression!

Although he could be considered incomparably wealthy on the Lingwu Continent, he was badly in need of martial cultivation resources in the Divine Kingdom!

These ores, each one was a high-level treasure unseen in the Lingwu Continent!

Everyone began preparing to mine the ores, and Ye Chen was no exception.

However, just then, Zhang Zi walked up to Ye Chen, looking at him with somewhat pitiable eyes, and said, ”Young Master Ye, my injury hasn’t fully healed and I’ve run out of pills. Could you give me a healing pill?”

Ye Chen was slightly startled but still nodded his head.

He found it odd that Zhang Zi wasn’t asking her companions for pills but was requesting them from him, yet he didn’t think too much of it.

Though he had saved Zhang Zi, by bringing him to mine these top-grade ores, she had helped him in return.

He always lived by the principle of repaying favors and avenging wrongs.

A single healing pill didn’t count for much.

His powerful divine soul surged out, scanning over Zhang Zi’s body, instantly understanding the full extent of her injuries. With a flick of his wrist, a pill appeared in his hand.

Suddenly, there was a soft sound of ’pu chi’, and a flash of Blood Light.

The Half-step Divine Medicine from Ye Chen’s hand also dropped to the ground.

He looked down in astonishment, seeing a dagger sticking into his abdomen...
