Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 688: Chapter 687 Innate Mid-Stage

In the full of anticipation from Ye Haochuan, the trunk of the Eldest Elder suddenly split open, the fissure gradually widening until it became a tree hole.

Inside the tree hole, there were two Fire Phoenix Grasses about ten centimeters tall, their bodies emanating a faint halo.

This was the Fire Phoenix Grass that the Eldest Elder treasured so dearly!

At the top of the Immortal Herbs, a flower as splendid as a Phoenix spreading its wings was blooming magnificently.

The medicinal fragrance of the Fire Phoenix Grass made Ye Haochuan feel refreshed and delighted.

He couldn’t help sighing, ”This Fire Phoenix Grass, maturing only once every hundred years, is truly extraordinary. Just the medicinal effect of its fragrance is so powerful!”

Quickly, the Eldest Elder flicked his roots and rolled one of the Fire Phoenix Grasses out of the tree hole, passing it to Ye Haochuan.

Upon seeing the Eldest Elder give the Fire Phoenix Grass to Ye Haochuan, the Flame Eagle Beast King in the sky let out an angry roar, and a sea of flames poured out of its mouth.

”Benefactor, absorb the Fire Phoenix Grass quickly. I’ll protect you!” the Eldest Elder shouted, his branches stretching out to form a massive shield of branches for Ye Haochuan.

Ye Haochuan knew time was of the essence and didn’t dare hesitate; he immediately swallowed the entire Fire Phoenix Grass.

Damn it, what a waste! If it were made into a pill, the medicinal effect of this Fire Phoenix Grass could be increased by several times.

Ye Haochuan felt like his heart was bleeding, but he also knew that it was wishful thinking to refine a pill right now.

Once the Fire Phoenix Grass was in his stomach, Ye Haochuan instantly felt a fiery breath rising from his belly, spreading throughout his body in an instant.

Ye Haochuan quickly sat down cross-legged, his Longevity Gang Qi rapidly circulating, engulfing and absorbing the scorching breath. But the breath was so vast that even as he pushed his Gang Qi to its limit, he still couldn’t prevent the spread of the heat.

Soon, Ye Haochuan’s skin all over his body turned an unhealthy red, as if his whole body was about to burst into flames.

Fuck, this is way too intense!

It was only now that Ye Haochuan realized he had underestimated the medicinal properties of the Fire Phoenix Grass and quickly gathered all his focus, protecting his vital organs, fearing that a moment’s inattention would turn his insides to ash.

Even so, Ye Haochuan still felt his body was on the verge of exploding at any moment.

Damn it, I really shouldn’t have bitten off more than I could chew. If I don’t come up with something, I’m going to burst right here.

Realizing the gravity of the situation, Ye Haochuan had a brainwave and summoned the Strange Fire King Cauldron, throwing himself into it.

His Longevity Gang Qi instantly split into two, one half transforming into raging flames to burn, while the other half tightly protected his blood vessels.

As the Gang Qi flames flared up, the scorching breath inside Ye Haochuan’s body trembled and surprisingly calmed down quite a bit.

This method of refining a pill inside the body was originally an evil technique for turning living people into pills; today, Ye Haochuan was using evil to control evil, which was very much a risk. Now, it seemed like a gamble that had paid off.

I’m such a fucking genius!

Ye Haochuan inwardly praised his own brilliance and quickly began to absorb the medicinal effect of the Fire Phoenix Grass.

The scorching medicinal power entered his bloodstream, giving Ye Haochuan a pain like he had never felt before, as if someone was roughly scrubbing his veins with a stiff brush.

Fuck, this shortcut to cultivation sure ain’t easy!

Ye Haochuan clenched his teeth tightly, enduring a madness-inducing pain, and accelerated the circulation of his Longevity Gang Qi, guiding the medicinal power throughout his body before finally converging it into his Dantian Qi Sea.

Boom~

The Longevity Gang Qi in his Dantian immediately churned and visibly increased at a rapid pace. In less than half a minute, the Gang Qi surged, doubling in size.

Ye Haochuan felt a crisp ”crack,” and the shackles at the Innate Early Stage instantly shattered, washed over by an indescribable sense of relief that spread throughout his body.

”Innate Mid-Stage!”

Ye Haochuan exclaimed joyfully, then immersed himself again in the absorption of the medicinal effects of the Fire Phoenix Grass.

The medicinal effects had not been exhausted by one-fifth yet, but already they had propelled Ye Haochuan to the Innate Mid-Stage. The Fire Phoenix Grass truly lived up to its reputation, and fully absorbing its effects would easily elevate him to the Innate Late Stage.

However, Ye Haochuan dared not continue. Every advantage came with its disadvantage, and relying solely on medicinal herbs to enhance cultivation would make the foundation unstable. If not careful, one might never advance to the true Great Power Boundary in their lifetime.

Ye Haochuan would not sacrifice the greater for the lesser. After breaking through to the Innate Mid-Stage, he forcefully suppressed the medicinal efficacy of the Fire Phoenix Grass, using the alchemical powers of the Strange Fire King Cauldron to highly compress the remaining medicinal power into a Golden Core, which released its potency slowly inside Ye Haochuan’s body.

Phew~

After successfully compressing the medicinal effects, Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but breathe a long sigh of relief. With this Golden Core, although he had not advanced directly to the Innate Late Stage, his future cultivation speed would definitely be much faster than before.

Having ascended to the Innate Mid-Stage, Ye Haochuan could feel his aura climbing significantly.

Packing away the Strange Fire King Cauldron, Ye Haochuan only then noticed that the dense, massive leafy protective shield was now tattered and torn. Langfan, Cai Ziping, and other members of the Long Alliance were fending off the Flame Eagle Beast King, preventing it from attacking Ye Haochuan, who was in the midst of a breakthrough.

The Eldest Elder was on his last breath, without a single leaf on his entire body, looking as if he would perish at any moment.

This Eldest Elder, true to his word, was still stubbornly protecting Ye Haochuan even in this state.

Damn, this Flame Eagle Beast King is really fierce, isn’t it? How did it beat the Eldest Elder so badly so quickly?

Ye Haochuan was shocked in his heart.

But when he saw the Eldest Elder’s weakened expression, a surge of emotion swept through him spontaneously, and he said, ”Eldest Elder, you protected me just now, now it’s my turn to protect you!”

”Benefactor, have you broken through just in time? That’s great, our Fire Tree Human Clan is saved, we are saved...” the voice of the Eldest Elder grew increasingly weak.

Upon seeing this, Ye Haochuan hurriedly transferred some Longevity Gang Qi to the Eldest Elder, barely preserving the latter’s life.

Ye Haochuan then turned his gaze toward the Flame Eagle Beast King, his figure suddenly leaping directly into the fray of the battle with the beast.

”You guys go support the other Tree People, leave this beast to me!” Ye Haochuan said coldly.

”Damn, you finally got it together. We were about to be done for!” Langfan complained bitterly, quickly retreating from the battle.

Ye Haochuan could tell that Langfan had suffered serious injuries.

Early Stage contending against Mid-Stage might seem like only a small level apart. However, the difference in combat power was nearly tenfold. Hence, even with six people like Langfan against one, the fight was still extremely difficult.

Up to this point, the Fire Tree Human Clan had suffered tremendous losses, with at least two-thirds having been killed or injured. The remaining one-third, under the leadership of nearly ten Innate Early Stage Fire Tree Humans, was also in dire straits.

In the battle against the Flame Eagle Beasts, the Fire Tree Humans were at a huge disadvantage. Ye Haochuan knew that if he didn’t defeat the Flame Eagle Beast King, the outcome of this war would never change.

Feeling the residual scent of the Fire Phoenix Grass on Ye Haochuan, the Flame Eagle Beast King was enraged beyond containment and roared, ”Human, you dare to steal the Immortal Herbs of this king, I will tear you to pieces!”

”Sorry about that, there are a lot of people who want to tear me to pieces, and they’re all queuing up in the Underworld. Where do you rank?” Ye Haochuan retorted with a sneer.

The killing intent in his eyes also spread rapidly in that instant.

But at that moment, a ringing sound suddenly erupted, and Ye Haochuan’s phone rang abruptly.

Seeing the caller ID, Ye Haochuan had a jolt of realization—something was wrong, Huo Mengyao was in danger!
