Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 2042: Chapter 2042: Good Thing I Didn’t Leave

The Gryphon saw Ye Haochuan still escaping, and immediately became furious. Not only was its single beak pecking not enough, but a pair of sharp claws were also being utilized. Suddenly, the efficiency of digging through the mountain rocks increased significantly.

The other three Gryphons were not to be outdone, and all came to help. In no time, the entire mountain body was trembling, as if an earthquake had occurred.

This scene, which once terrified him, no longer intimidated Ye Haochuan.

When it comes to digging, how could Gryphons be a match for humans? In no time, he had already dug more than a dozen meters, far surpassing the Gryphons’ progress.

”Damn, finally safe!”

Ye Haochuan plopped down on the ground, utterly exhausted and panting heavily.

From being chased by fierce beasts to leaping off a cliff, and then being forced to dig by avian creatures, the whole process had drained him substantially. His nerves had been taut the entire time; to say it wasn’t tiring would be a lie.

The Gryphons outside, unable to catch up with Ye Haochuan, let out a few unwilling screeches but refused to leave.

Ten minutes passed in this stalemate, and Ye Haochuan began to worry.

He was not here to vacation; he needed to vie for the Seven-Colored Mysterious Stone, earn the title of Half-Mountain Residence disciple, and have Shentu Fu rescue Sophia. Continuing this stalemate was a sure path to losing.

”Heavenly Eye, open!”

A golden gleam flashed in Ye Haochuan’s eyes, and the surrounding mountain rocks gradually became transparent, with everything outside the mountain coming into view.

”Thirty meters to the right, I can dig through, and there are no avian creatures or beasts. I should be able to sneak away quietly!” Ye Haochuan immediately made up his mind.

However, just as he was about to close the Heavenly Eye and continue digging, he discovered something astonishing.

Three hundred meters below ground, there were countless red crystals stored, seemingly forming a vein.

”Holy shit, how many red crystals are there? Ten billion? A hundred billion? Or a trillion?”

Ye Haochuan almost bit his own tongue, and his heart pounded wildly with excitement.

”Digging down from here will probably only take a little over ten minutes. It shouldn’t cause any delays, right?” Ye Haochuan murmured to himself.

If he encountered avian creatures or beasts, so would Ju Yuqu and Li Qi. It’s unlikely they would ascend the mountain easily. They might not be as lucky as him and could have been swallowed by that Demon Beast.

With this in mind, Ye Haochuan hesitated no more and quickly adjusted his direction to dig downward.

In the process of tunneling, the actual digging doesn’t waste much time; what’s time-consuming is transporting the earth and rocks out of the tunnel. But for Ye Haochuan, this step was not an issue; he used a storage ring specifically for these earth and rocks and focused on digging, which made him highly efficient.

Sure enough, ten minutes later, he had dug through the three hundred meters of the tunnel. Instantly, abundant Flower Energy and Spiritual Energy surged towards him.

Just by inhaling a few breaths of this air, Ye Haochuan felt his boundary subtly increase.

My god, this place is simply defying the heavens!

Ye Haochuan’s heart trembled uncontrollably. If he cultivated here, wouldn’t his Cultivation soar like a rocket?

However, he restrained his impulse to cultivate here. After all, who knows how long this cultivation would take, and by the time he’s finished, the opportunity might have long passed.

He swiftly took out several storage rings and began loading up red crystals rapidly.

The red crystals here were entirely piled up, without a trace of rubble in between, making it extremely convenient to pack.

Before long, Ye Haochuan had already packed nearly ten million red crystals, completely filling one storage ring.

Just as he was about to take out the second ring, a resentful low voice suddenly reached his ears.

”Boy, don’t push your luck! This Spirit Vein was painstakingly brought here by this old man. Letting you take a million is one thing, but are you planning to plunder the entire Spirit Vein?”

”Who?”

At the words, Ye Haochuan was startled and looked around, but saw no one. It was then he realized that the voice belonged to Liu Bai.

This dimension world was owned by Liu Bai, most likely Liu Bai had detected the Spirit Vein being stolen and had come to warn him.

Realizing this, Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but blush. He felt like someone caught red-handed stealing something.

Yet, the red crystals were already in his pocket, and he was decidedly unwilling to return them.

”He just said ’let you take away a million and be done,’ doesn’t that mean he permits me to take this million?” With this thought, Ye Haochuan was elated.

Even though he couldn’t take the entire Spirit Vein, this million should last him quite a while.

Composing himself, Ye Haochuan was about to leave with the ring.

At that moment, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his Dantian, as if it was about to burst.

What the hell is going on?

Ye Haochuan was alarmed, quickly using his mind to investigate.

He soon discovered that his Dantian had somehow already accumulated a massive amount of Spiritual Energy. Right now, his Dantian was like an overinflated balloon, showing fine cracks and on the verge of bursting at any moment.

He then remembered that he hadn’t controlled his body to stop absorbing Spiritual Energy while packing the red crystals.

Throughout his long-term cultivation, his body had developed a certain cultivation instinct to automatically absorb a portion of Spiritual Energy anytime and anywhere.

Originally, this wasn’t much of a problem since not much was absorbed. However, the Spiritual Energy density here was extraordinarily high, and with this instinctive absorption, his Spiritual Energy had massively increased.

At this moment, he felt like he was on the verge of an urgent bowel movement, painfully swollen.

”No, I must leave here quickly, or I’ll definitely burst!”

Ye Haochuan made up his mind to lift his foot, but suddenly stopped again.

Damn, I’m already here. If I don’t seize the opportunity to break through now, where else could I find such a good place for a breakthrough later?

The other voice in Ye Haochuan’s head emerged.

Although he was in a hurry to fight for the Seven-Colored Mystic Crystal, the matter of cultivation was equally urgent.

Given his current Cultivation, if he encountered Ju Yuqu, directly fighting against him would be a dead end. He only had a chance by achieving a breakthrough.

Moreover, the most difficult part of the Immortal Transformation, the liquefaction of Spirit Qi, he had already experienced during the Heavenly Road. He believed the breakthrough process wouldn’t take as long as it does for others who might remain in seclusion for years.

Resolving to act immediately, Ye Haochuan disliked the feeling of hesitation.

He sat cross-legged, quickly guiding the gaseous Spiritual Energy from his Dantian along a small meridian, circulating it along a specific trajectory.

Unexpectedly, the circulation process went exceptionally smoothly, with the Spiritual Energy flowing through the meridian without a hitch, as if everything was destined to happen perfectly.

This was at least ten times better than he had anticipated.

Haha, luckily I didn’t leave. Otherwise, wouldn’t I have died of regret?

Ye Haochuan was overjoyed, feeling elated in his heart.
