Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 2238: Chapter 2238: The Strongest Mysterious Pill Grandmaster Since the Dawn of Time?

”Could it be the heat?” After pondering for a while, Ye Haochuan suddenly came to a conclusion.

In alchemy, the requirements for heat control are extremely high. If not precise enough, all the ingredients will turn to ashes, making the pill impossible to form.

Ye Haochuan had mastered heat control skillfully, but achieving absolute precision was still a long journey ahead.

The next batch started soon, with Ye Haochuan focusing on maintaining a stable heat, ensuring no fluctuations during the process.

It sounded simple, but achieving this was immensely difficult. Not yet reaching the solidifying stage, Ye Haochuan was already sweating profusely. Then, a small mishap caused the suppressed flame to suddenly surge, engulfing the pill entirely.

”The Hua Clan’s alchemy methods have no bottleneck, but creating higher-quality pills requires one’s own painstaking effort!”

Ye Haochuan was not one to easily give up. After slightly adjusting his state, he began the next batch of alchemy.

This attempt was slightly better than the last; he persisted until the pill solidified, but ultimately ended in failure at the final stage.

Ye Haochuan didn’t immediately try a third time but rather took time to summarize, thoroughly contemplating the previous mistakes before finally attempting again.

This time, he succeeded!

When the pill furnace opened, six flawless Spirit Level Pills quietly lay before him.

”I’m truly a genius in the alchemy world!” Ye Haochuan boastfully praised himself, placing the six Black Gold Primordial Pills in individual jade bottles.

Starting the furnace again, with previous experience, Ye Haochuan barely achieved a level where he could control freely, producing another six Spirit Level Black Gold Primordial Pills.

Ye Haochuan wiped the sweat from his forehead, the meticulous control consumed a great deal of his energy.

With these two furnaces of Spirit Level Black Gold Primordial Pills, along with some Mortal Level ones, it should sustain the Ye Family Commerce Association for a while.

Ye Haochuan took two Spirit Level and over ten Mortal Level Black Gold Primordial Pills, storing them away, then called for Ling Zhixing.

”Master, did you finish a batch of pills?” Ling Zhixing excitedly asked as soon as he arrived.

”A batch? I’ve refined over ten batches!” Ye Haochuan laughed.

Ling Zhixing replied reassuringly, ”Master, don’t lose heart. Having one successful batch among ten is already considered an excellent result. Master just advanced to Mysterious Pill Grandmaster and achieved such performance; it’s truly genius!”

Damn, how foolish are the alchemists in the Immortal Realm? Success in one out of ten batches is considered genius?

Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but display a peculiar expression.

He had long suspected the Immortal Realm’s alchemy methods were unreliable, but didn’t expect the alchemists to be even more so.

Too lazy to explain to Ling Zhixing, Ye Haochuan handed him the jade bottles filled with pills.

”These... all these are Black Gold Primordial Pills... and ten complete Spirit Levels exist; how is this possible?” Ling Zhixing couldn’t believe his eyes, thinking he was dreaming.

After a long moment of being stunned, he swallowed hard and said, ”Master, where did you get so many Black Gold Primordial Pills? Why didn’t you pull them out earlier, leaving me worried for nothing!”

”How was I supposed to pull them out earlier? These were just refined!” Ye Haochuan replied irritably.

”Just refined? That’s impossible! You’ve only been alchemizing for half a day; how could you produce so many? Don’t tell me every batch was successful?” Ling Zhixing asked incredulously.

”Not exactly, as there were two failures adjusting the flame. All other batches contained six pills each,” Ye Haochuan explained.

Ling Zhixing felt his jaw almost drop.

God, what kind of alchemist is this? Such a high success rate is too astounding!

Though he didn’t understand much about alchemy, he knew its difficulty. Even an Alchemy Grandmaster crafting a second-grade Mysterious Pill wouldn’t dare claim every batch yields pills, let alone six per batch.

”Hey, can you stop looking at me like that? You make me feel like you’re about to eat me,” Ye Haochuan said warily.

”Master, you’re arguably the mightiest Mysterious Pill Grandmaster since the dawn of time. Who dares to compare their pills against Ye Family’s now? I’ll share Master’s supernatural pill formation rate, they’ll be scared witless!” Ling Zhixing babbled enthusiastically.

”Brat, since when did you learn to flatter?”

Ye Haochuan felt elated internally, but kept a stern expression and said, ”Take these pills and sell them first, I have matters to attend to. Once finished, I will properly meet the Mysterious Pill Grandmaster from the Li Family!”

”I was worried before, thinking Master just advanced as Mysterious Pill Grandmaster, might not match up to the opponent. Now it seems my concern was redundant; with Master’s skills, that guy would surely admire and feel ashamed!” Ling Zhixing sassily smiled.

After instructing Ling Zhixing further, Ye Haochuan asked him to monitor if there are other second-grade Mysterious Pill recipes, and then his form faded, disappearing into the darkness.

Tonight’s mission was to steal the orb key sealing Le Yao from the Gu Family!

Invisibility, this divine ability, empowered Ye Haochuan with courage to snatch from the tiger’s jaws. Even knowing the orb key was in the Gu Family elder’s ring, he dared to try.

The Gu family’s estate was several times more vast than the Ye Residence, with the Gu Family being an old-established force, their power and heritage were incomparable to the Ye Family.

Not to mention, the Hidden Patrol Guards scattered around the Gu estate, unlike any the Ye Residence possessed.

However, for Ye Haochuan, these posed no problem.

With the Heavenly Eye, no matter how deep the Patrol Guards were hidden, he could spot them immediately and stealthily bypass using the invisibility ability.

After about half an hour, Ye Haochuan reached an ancient, secluded courtyard.

During summer, it should be the season of lush greenery, but this courtyard was filled with dead trees, not a single blade of grass, starkly contrasting with its surroundings as if these were two different worlds.

According to descriptions from Le Yao and Ye Haochuan, this was undoubtedly the location of the Gu Family elder, Gu Dewei.

Ye Haochuan didn’t rush in but found a hidden spot first, adjusted his state to the best condition, then cautiously stepped forward.

Facing a True Immortal Late Stage super strongman, he had no capacity to resist. Without thorough preparation, he risked eternal chaos and ruin.

This courtyard didn’t have guards, nor servants or maids, Ye Haochuan quietly stepped through the entrance.

The moment his right foot landed, a formidable attraction, like a magnet, firmly rooted his foot to the ground, as the entire courtyard of dead trees started violently shaking.

”Not good, there’s a hidden formation!” Ye Haochuan was startled, cold sweat streaming down.
