The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 3296: Chapter 4073: Poison Stele’s Tomb Guardian (Third Update)

"Hey, kid, you!"

Du Qingfeng was furious, his anger almost tangible.

However, Ji Siqing turned back to give him a glare, and he dared not speak further.

He feared nothing in his life, except for his little junior sister.

"Alas, it seems my sister will be harmed again by him in this life."

Du Qingfeng lamented in his heart, but under Ji Siqing’s authority, he dared not say more.

Ye Chen, Ji Siqing, and Ji Lin entered Chen Yan Palace, surrounded by mist, abundant spiritual energy—an ideal place for cultivation.

Ji Siqing looked at Ye Chen and said softly, "It’s quite secluded here, perfect for you to refine the Reincarnation Tablet without my senior brother disturbing."

"Hmm."

Ye Chen nodded lightly, gazing at Ji Siqing’s face, "Are you okay these days?"

Since their parting at the Nine Heavens Divine Dragon Palace, he hadn’t seen Ji Siqing, unsure of her current state.

Recalling past events, especially the scenes of healing in caves and under the sea, Ye Chen’s mind wavered, his breathing a bit hastier.

"I’m fine, how about you?"

Ji Siqing’s gaze shifted elsewhere, unable to meet Ye Chen’s intense gaze, she asked softly.

"I’m very well too."

Ye Chen took out a flying sword from the Samsara Graveyard and handed it to Ji Siqing, "This is your past life’s weapon, I obtained it by chance, it’s yours now."

The sword emitted streaks of red light, which, as it surged, faintly formed into the image of a Vermillion Bird, revealing a fierce sword qi, precisely the Vermillion Bird Flying Sword.

"Hmm? It’s the Vermillion Bird Flying Sword. Where did you find it?"

Ji Siqing was delighted, and as she took the sword, she casually swung it, and fiery sword light spread forth.

This Vermillion Bird Flying Sword was her past life’s weapon, lost later on; now, regaining it felt perfectly fitting, its swing achieved perfect harmony, unleashing sword qi to the fullest.

Ye Chen smiled, "I obtained it while training in the Netherworld Sea Domain, always meant to return it to you."

"Fantastic, with a sword in hand, even ghosts and gods won’t stay; having this sword allows my past life’s aura to awaken greatly, cultivation will soar."

Ji Siqing joyfully swung the flying sword, her eyes filled with delight.

"Ye Biwang, what about the Qixia Jade Hairpin? I heard my sister say that the Vermillion Bird Flying Sword and the Qixia Jade Hairpin are one, they can combine into the Vermilion Bird Flying Cloud Hairpin, where’s the jade hairpin? If we could reclaim it, sister might step into the Holy Ancestor Realm."

Ji Lin was excitedly chattering; she had heard Ji Siqing share the secret history of the Vermilion Bird Flying Cloud Hairpin.

If the Vermilion Bird Flying Cloud Hairpin could be acquired, Ji Siqing’s past-life bloodline would surely revive considerably, and she might even step into the legendary Holy Ancestor Realm, advancing vastly!

"I don’t know where the Jade Hairpin is."

Ye Chen shrugged, sensing karma with his Heavenly Eye, the Qixia Jade Hairpin seemed to be with the Sky-covering Demon Emperor, yet he couldn’t confirm.

Moreover, the Sky-covering Demon Emperor was somewhere in the Outer Realm, his exact location unknown; even if confirmed, Ye Chen couldn’t obtain the Qixia Jade Hairpin quickly.

"Forget it, reclaiming the flying sword already seems a great fortune; the Jade Hairpin will surely return to me when the time comes, no need for haste."

Ji Siqing was not anxious; she strapped the Vermillion Bird Flying Sword at her waist, looking serene.

"Ye Chen, thank you this time."

After a pause, Ji Siqing’s bright eyes with gentle warmth, thanked Ye Chen.

"No worries, it’s truly yours."

"By the way..." Ji Siqing suddenly thought of something, looked toward a direction, but found that the veiled woman had already disappeared from Chen Yan Palace.

Evidently, this veiled woman was avoiding Ye Chen.

This person protected Ye Chen everywhere, why avoid him?

Ye Chen frowned slightly, "What’s wrong?"

Ji Siqing hesitated for a few seconds, then shook her head, "Nothing."

Ye Chen touched his nose, "Well, now that I’ve obtained the Destruction Venerate’s inheritance, the crisis of the Tianji Daoist isn’t resolved yet; I should refine the Poison Stele, perhaps the five Reincarnation Tablets will cause some mutation in the reincarnation bloodline.

I must start refining the Poison Stele, please protect me, don’t let anyone disturb."

He sat cross-legged, summoned the Poison Stele, as threads of dark, mysterious poisonous gas silently spread, making the air within the palace terrifying.

"Mm!"

Ji Siqing and Ji Lin nodded, guarding him, protecting him from Du Qingfeng’s interference.

The poisonous gas from the Poison Stele grew more intense.

The fierce poisonous gas seemed able to dissolve gold and melt iron, carrying terrible bone-corroding aura.

Luckily, Ji Siqing and Ji Lin, possessing solid cultivation, were naturally unaffected by the poisonous gas.

Boom!

Ye Chen’s divine soul was spun around and was absorbed into the space of the Poison Stele.

It’s a desolate world, a dark land, the sky shrouded in grey, filled with necrosis, like a dying old man with the oil in the lamp running out, everywhere was eerie miasma.

Rumble!

Ye Chen’s ears resonated with booming sounds, upon arriving in this Poison Stele world, he saw the distant land full of erupting volcanoes; the sky above thick with dust and haze; streams of hot lava flowed ceaselessly, as if doomsday had come—the scene was extremely tragic.

He kept observing; the distant land showcased violent volcanoes, and terrifying storms swept across thousands of miles, even endless ice and snow rolled tens of thousands of miles, underfoot the ground was a stretch of black, muddy swamps where miasma continually surged.

"So this is the world inside the Poison Stele?"

Ye Chen was secretly shocked; amidst this massive space, the environment was extremely harsh with volcanic eruptions, earthquakes rumbling, storms raging, frost and snow swirling, large swaths of swampy mud engorged with potent poison, the sky was an eternal haze, without a glimmer of dawn.

Such a terrifying world—who knows what dangers it might conceal?

Ye Chen had just arrived when suddenly the ground beneath shook, the earth cracked open, horrendous lava surged upwards; fortunately, he reacted quickly, using Eight Trigrams Sky Pill Technique’s Water Technique, to suppress the surge with a raised hand.

But then from above the sky, a deep blue ice crystal storm spans thousands of miles, swept over like a frigid dragon, bitterly cold, freezing Ye Chen into an ice sculpture instantly.

"Break!"

Ye Chen invoked his mana, shattering the ice sculpture into fragments, surveying the doomsday landscape, he sighed inwardly:

"The test of the Poison Stele doesn’t seem simple."

To conquer any Reincarnation Tablet, one must endure a test.

This Poison Stele World’s fearsome environment indicates that the test will surely be arduous, passing it will certainly be no easy feat.

Rumble!

The earth’s tremors grew more intense, swampy mud flew everywhere, and a terrifying fissure appeared, along with tendrils of strange toxic mist.

An elder figure slowly emerged from the toxic mist.
