Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 1149: Chapter 1148: Is It Targeting Me? (2nd Update)

Ye Haochuan sat in the Time Forest, unmoving, showing no signs of wanting to leave.

In the attic, three old men looked at each other. Fu Pingyang said, ”This child has already passed the test, let’s end it here. The energy of that Crystal Stone is almost used up.”

Tu Zhengxiang replied, ”No problem, let him continue. I want to see how long he can hold on.”

With that, a Crystal Stone flew out from Tu Zhengxiang’s sleeve and embedded itself into the formation in the Time Forest.

He Qing said, ”From past experience, the time spent in the Time Forest also reflects a person’s future potential.”

Those who can’t stay even for an hour will stop at their current cultivation level.

One hour, two hours...

The whole morning passed, yet Ye Haochuan showed no signs of restlessness. As time went on, the flow of time in the Time Forest accelerated, consuming enormous energy. Tu Zhengxiang had already used several Crystal Stones.

By this time, the Crystal Stones in the formation had completely lost their color and were about to shatter. Tu Zhengxiang, feeling a bit painful, took out another Crystal Stone.

Normally, during exams, the Holy Medical Alliance would reimburse Crystal Stones, but now it’s over the limit, so Tu Zhengxiang had to pay out of his own pocket.

Fu Pingyang said, ”Enough, Old Tu, let’s end it here; the other candidates are still waiting.”

He Qing frowned and said, ”I didn’t expect Ye Haochuan to have such a steadfast heart! But no worry, this is only the first round.”

Tu Zhengxiang glanced at the other candidates outside; it was a convenient excuse to end the test and put away the Crystal Stones.

”Pop!”

The Crystal Stones within the formation completely lost their color, turning into powder. Without Crystal Stones to sustain it, the formation instantly closed, and the flow of time in the Time Forest returned to normal.

Only then did Ye Haochuan open his eyes and slowly walk out of the Time Forest.

Hah, they couldn’t hold on any longer so soon? Ye Haochuan thought with some disdain.

The Time Forest eliminated fourteen people; the remaining individuals moved to the next round of examination.

The person in charge took everyone to another exam room. There, dozens of seats and paper and pens were available. On several long tables in front, nearly a hundred small wooden boxes with numbers were displayed.

The person in charge said, ”Regardless of whether it’s alchemy or medicine practice, precise identification of herbal materials is crucial. So, this round is the identification of herbs.”

Everyone said, ”What’s so difficult about that?”

The cultivators seated there observed and learned beyond ordinary people. Moreover, they had corresponding preparation before the exam. With their memory, remembering the shapes and names of these herbs wasn’t hard.

The person in charge chuckled mischievously and said, ”Really not difficult? Then let me explain the rules: for herb identification, the boxes cannot be opened, and you can only rely on smell to identify. You also need to write the herb’s name, properties, and channels it belongs to. You have half an hour to identify, and one hour to write.”

”What? We can’t even look?!” Everyone immediately objected, ”Isn’t that too difficult? We haven’t heard of it being this hard before!”

”You’re clearly increasing the difficulty; I’m going to complain about this!”

As everyone clamored, the person in charge said, ”According to the regulations, our Holy Medical Alliance has the right to increase or decrease the difficulty of any exam.”

The person in charge referenced the regulations, and everyone was suddenly speechless; the Holy Medical Alliance was the sole authority, so everything was their word.

Ye Haochuan coldly laughed, ”Increasing difficulty, again targeting me, huh?”

But so what? He had all the inherited skills of the Holy Hand. Identifying herbs by smell alone was a piece of cake!

”All right, time starts now!”

As soon as the person in charge finished speaking, everyone immediately rushed forward, each bending over the wooden boxes, smelling the herbs inside vigorously.

Ye Haochuan, however, was relatively calm, walking through the wooden boxes without lingering.

In the attic, Fu Pingyang said, ”Seeing this child so calm, he must have already figured it out.”

Tu Zhengxiang said indifferently, ”The abilities of the Holy Hand leave almost all our Tu family members in the dust. If he truly is the successor of the Holy Hand, it’s not surprising.”

He Qing said, ”Let’s see how many skills of the Holy Hand he’s truly mastered.”

Ten minutes later, Ye Haochuan had walked through all the wooden boxes and asked the person in charge, ”Can I start now?”

The person in charge was shocked and inwardly cursed, thinking, ”You idiot, I already said the exam started!”

Seeing the person in charge’s face showing a foolish expression, Ye Haochuan added, ”I mean, can I start writing?”

”Huh? You finished identifying in just ten minutes?” The person in charge withdrew his previous expression, replaced by surprise and disbelief.

It had been only ten minutes, and others hadn’t identified even half of the herbs; had he finished already? Must be bluffing!

”If you’re sure you’re done identifying, you can start. However, once you begin writing, you can’t return to re-identify,” the person in charge reminded.

Ye Haochuan nodded, found a seat, and began writing vigorously.

”Box number one, Resting Fragrance, property neutral, taste spicy, bitter. Channels to heart, spleen.”

”Box number two, Poria Spirit, property neutral, taste sweet, bland. Channels to heart, spleen.”

”Box number three, Chicken Blood Vine, property warm, taste bitter. Channels to liver, kidney.”

Ye Haochuan wrote as if divinely inspired, with no pause, shocking everyone beyond measure.

”Damn, what kind of beast is this guy? I’ve only gotten through half, and he’s already writing!”

”Could he be bluffing and writing randomly?”

”Probably not, he stayed in the Time Forest for half the day; he likely isn’t here just for fun!”

Ye Haochuan exerted enormous pressure on everyone. After another ten minutes, another Foundation Establishment cultivator also finished identifying and started writing.

Meanwhile, Ye Haochuan was already on the twenty-seventh herb.

”Box number twenty-seven, Ginseng, property warm, neutral, taste sweet, bitter. Channels to spleen, lung, heart.”

”Box number twenty-eight, Cowcockle, property neutral, taste bitter. Channels to liver, stomach.”

Apart from Ye Haochuan and another Foundation Establishment cultivator, the others spent half an hour, with some still not fully recognized by the time was up.

Once time was up, all candidates could only sit down and write.

At this point, Ye Haochuan’s paper was already densely filled; he had written about half of the nearly hundred herbs, still flowing smoothly without a hitch.

As time passed, Ye Haochuan finally penned the last entry: ”Box number ninety-seven, Semiaquilegia, property cold, taste spicy, bitter. Channels to liver, stomach.”

With this, Ye Haochuan signed his name and stopped writing, having listed every herb in the boxes without a need to check; he was quite confident in himself.

From start to finish, Ye Haochuan took only forty minutes, while others still scratched their heads and continued writing, now waiting for them was what he did.

Immediately, Ye Haochuan stood up and handed the sheet filled with Heizi to the person in charge, casually saying, ”I’ve finished writing.”

Many people quickly raised their heads, almost feeling foul-mouthed. Damn, does it have to be this fast?
