The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 1514: Difficult Odds Chapter 1514: Difficult Odds Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation “The two top families have also sent Dao Integration realm guardians. They should have brought spacetime artifacts as capital for the transactions. Based on their reputation and the foundation of the six factions, the two top families should have brought at least four spacetime artifacts.” “There should be at least three spacetime artifacts in the Dugu family’s headquarters as well!” “The battle in the northern region is dangerous, so most of their experts are fighting demons there. Only the Dugu family’s Fifth Grand Elder is left in Sky Sword City!” “At most, there will be one more Creation realm expert!” “No!” Medicine Buddha thought about it and said, “The top-tier factions will not send Creation realm experts over, but the six major forces might. Each of them has two Creation realm experts remaining, so they might send one.” “So there might be four to five Creation realm experts around.” “In addition, there are probably some old half-step Creation realm experts out there looking to take advantage of any chaos during the auction, so you should factor them in as well.” Medicine Buddha paused for a moment and his eyes turned sharp. He said, “Abbot, it’s best to focus on the Thousand Demon Ginseng and the spacetime artifacts at the auction. Before that, you’ll have to obtain the Dao Integration-grade artifacts, as well as make preparations to escape the city and their pursuit.” Eight spacetime artifacts was the minimum requirement to set up the Universe Heavenly Dragon Formation to withstand the heavenly tribulation. Ye Chen currently had two spacetime artifacts, which he had obtained from the seventh branch of the Hall of Souls. This meant that he still needed six more spacetime artifacts. At the auction, the top-tier factions would use their spacetime artifacts in order to purchase treasures from the auction. In addition, there was the Dugu family’s headquarters, which no doubt housed a few spacetime artifacts as well. Ye Chen’s plan was to seize all of them in one fell swoop! However, to do so he would have to face around five Creation realm experts, and even more peak-level Dao Integration realm experts, some of which had the same objective as he did. Those old monsters were unaffiliated experts who had reached the peak of the Dao Integration realm thousands of years ago, if not longer. All they needed was a spacetime artifact in order to break through. Once they broke through, even the middle-tier factions would not dare to provoke them. This meant that Ye Chen was trying to snatch food from the tiger’s mouth. Moreover, he planned not only to snatch one, but all of them! After all, he needed six spacetime artifacts, or perhaps even more if he wanted some for his own use. If anyone heard about Ye Chen’s plan, they would deem him a lunatic and scold him for daydreaming. “To obtain the Dao Integration-grade artifacts, we can rob those smaller factions.” “As for the six or seven spacetime artifacts…” Ye Chen’s eyes flickered as he stared at the four auction stages that had been set up in the distance. They were divided into four sections, Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow. They were divided according to the grade and quality of the treasures being auctioned and the cultivation levels of the customers. He needed to target the Heaven and Earth auctions. He estimated that he still had about 2,000 puppet guardians, but most of them were Divine King realm puppet guardians. Even if he used all of them away, they could only buy him a few minutes. It was not easy to deal with the experts that would be guarding the auctions, nor the ones that would be pursuing him after. “Blood Dragon and Little Gold!” “When the time comes, I’ll need their help!” “It should not be difficult to escape if I use a spatial teleportation formation.” Ye Chen suddenly had an idea. “Master Lan, can you construct a small-scale spatial teleportation formation?” “I’ve obtained quite a lot of spatial stones recently!” “I can’t do it alone, but if the six of them help, I can. However, the spatial passageway of a small-scale spatial teleportation formation cannot be completely stabilized!” “It’s very likely that you will be attacked in the process of teleportation!” “If the spatial passageway is shattered by those experts, you might end up being lost in the void!” “I’m not afraid!” Ye Chen’s lips suddenly curled into a smile.” We still have two days. I’ll plunder a few more enemies to obtain more Dao Integration-grade artifacts. With them, even if detonating them can’t kill the Creation realm experts and half-step Creation realm experts, I can delay them long enough to escape.” “In any case, I can’t delay resolving Ji Lin’s problem any longer. There’s only ten or so days left. If I fail, then she will be left in a vegetative state forever!” The innate poison blocked her meridians, so she could at most hold on for 28 days. Once the time was up, her meridians would rupture, and the innate poison would spread throughout her body. If that happened, she would not die, but would never wake up ever again. Therefore, Ye Chen had no choice but to push forward despite the dangers. “Good!” “Then I’ll start making preparations to construct the formation.” “It should take about a day.” Lan Xueyue gathered the other six ancient experts and got to work. “Alright.” Ye Chen nodded. This time, he would have to take a huge risk. In the end, he was still too weak. Otherwise, why would he be so cautious? If he was a Creation realm expert, he would be able to suppress his enemies with a wave of his hand. At that time, it would not be troublesome at all to save Ji Lin. Ye Chen sighed. Then, he suddenly noticed the mysterious brocade box in the Samsara Graveyard that was overflowing with rays of light. Out of curiosity, Ye Chen walked toward the brocade box. “Where did this thing come from? How did the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion end up in possession of it?” “Judging from where it was placed in the treasure vault, the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion didn’t really consider it very valuable.” “It might just be an ordinary treasure to them, but it’s likely priceless to me and the Samsara Graveyard.” Ye Chen approached the mysterious brocade box. He made a grabbing motion, and the brocade box appeared in his palm. Suddenly, he noticed something and his expression changed. “Origin qi! There’s actually origin qi inside!” Back in the Kunlun Mountains, Ye Chen had discovered how terrifying origin qi was. Moreover, his bloodline and origin qi were closely related. However, there were still too few treasures that contained origin qi. Unexpectedly, this mysterious brocade box was one of them! He then suddenly realized that the origin qi had penetrated the seal on the brocade box, which had broken the seal! Kacha! The brocade box was opened! At this moment, Ye Chen was extremely excited. He saw a chess piece quietly laying in the brocade box. The chess piece seemed to be made of a special and extraordinary material. Origin qi flowed around it, and there was a bold and powerful word engraved on it in red! General! Just from looking at it, Ye Chen felt a strong sense of oppression. “This is the blood essence of an ancient mighty expert! Why is it used to engrave this word on this chess piece?” Ye Chen had just finished speaking when the chess piece suddenly shattered and turned into powder!
