Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 2311: Chapter 2311: Ambushed

Ye Haochuan executed the Pill Collection Technique, and soon, six pills with a tinge of blue glow were in his hand.

”What a pity, if the Purple Lotus Spirit Flame could be enhanced a bit more, I might have produced perfect ones. For now, I’ll have to make do with spirit level ones!” Ye Haochuan muttered with slight dissatisfaction.

”Spirit level pills are quite rare, aren’t they?” Tang Xun’er curiously moved her adorable little face closer to investigate.

Despite his young age, he had been cultivating for a while and naturally knew the extraordinary nature of spirit level pills.

Just as she was about to come closer, Tang Yucheng’s shocked shout was heard: ”Xun’er, stay away from that demon, be careful or he might swallow you whole!”

”Brother, what’s gotten into you? Since when did big brother become a man-eating demon?” Tang Xun’er looked puzzled.

”If he’s not a demon, how could someone so young know both formations and pill refining?”

Tang Yucheng appeared ”nervous,” then scoldingly asked Ye Haochuan: ”Tell us quickly, where on earth did you come from, you freak? Confess honestly, and maybe I’ll leave you in one piece!”

Ye Haochuan glanced at Tang Yucheng with exasperation and snorted, ”Get lost! If you’re not afraid of causing a commotion and getting captured, then make your move!”

The anger on Tang Yucheng’s face vanished instantly, and he pursed his lips, saying, ”You really have no sense of humor, you know!”

His previous reaction was obviously an act, completely intended to provoke this freak.

”Tell me, are you even human? Being good at formations is one thing, but this alchemy...”

Speaking of alchemy, Tang Yucheng eyed the six pills in Ye Haochuan’s hand, swallowed, and said with difficulty, ”Are you sure these pills aren’t made of mud? Six pills from one batch, all spirit level. I’ve roamed the worldly society for so long and never heard of such an outrageous thing!”

”If you don’t believe it, why not try one?” Ye Haochuan handed over a pill, tempting him.

Tang Yucheng’s mouth twitched as he replied, ”Are you joking? This isn’t like buying vegetables, trying one at random. This is the invaluable Spirit Level Explosive Demon Elemental Pill. Even if I sold everything I own, I couldn’t buy one. You think I am a tycoon to just try one casually?”

Ye Haochuan shrugged indifferently, tossing another pill at him, ”I’m only giving you two anyway, how you use them is your business!”

Theoretically, with the spirit core the two acquired together, refining six pills, Tang Yucheng should get three. Ye Haochuan only giving him two seemed somewhat unfair.

Yet, Tang Yucheng’s face was one of sheer delight, showing no sign of dissatisfaction.

Splitting equally? That’s how fools handle things, isn’t it?

The spirit core was indeed rare, but having Explosive Demon Elemental Pills was rarer. In terms of value, just one Explosive Demon Elemental Pill was worth several times more than a spirit core.

Moreover, this was a spirit level Explosive Demon Elemental Pill, worth ten times more than a mortal level one.

Ye Haochuan giving him two made him feel deeply grateful, with no room for complaints about division of spoils.

After refining the Explosive Demon Elemental Pill, Ye Haochuan didn’t idle and continued to refine some Benefit Spirit Pills and Black Gold Primordial Pills, one kind for replenishing flower energy, the other for healing injuries.

Initially, he wanted to refine Nine Revolutions Jade Restoration Pills, as among the second-grade Mysterious Pills, their potency was unparalleled. Unfortunately, the materials for these were hard to come by, and he hadn’t gathered them yet, so he had to settle for other options.

”Comparing oneself to others can be infuriating! I finally apprenticed under a master to learn artifact refining, and I still can’t produce an Immortal Artifact, yet this guy has mastered both formations and alchemy. Is my aptitude really that poor?”

Tang Yucheng quietly watched Ye Haochuan’s actions, feeling a strong sense of defeat, his confidence shaken more today than in nearly thirty years.

His aptitude wasn’t actually poor; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to rank within the top hundred on the Qingfeng List as a commoner.

But why did he have to compare himself to Ye Haochuan? If not him, who then should experience frustration?

Until evening, Ye Haochuan finally put away his alchemy tools, tossing several pill bottles at Tang Yucheng’s feet.

”Use these pills as you need, and if they’re not enough, come find me for more!”

Ye Haochuan was never stingy with friends.

Really, this guy is a true tycoon. These few bottles of pills, worth several dozen superior spirit crystals, he just throws them on the ground.

Tang Yucheng marveled and hurriedly picked the pills up with utmost care.

A single Benefit Spirit Pill was priced at hundreds of low-grade red crystals, and most of what Ye Haochuan refined were spirit level, priced in tens of millions each.

In the two bottles Ye Haochuan gave him, each contained dozens of them, giving Tang Yucheng a sudden feeling of overnight riches.

He was actually more curious about how Ye Haochuan mastered these skills.

Ye Haochuan was vague, offering no reasonable explanation.

It’s not that he didn’t trust Tang Yucheng, but he had too many secrets he couldn’t share.

The two chatted intermittently for a while, and Ye Haochuan learned a bit about Tang Yucheng’s past.

The siblings were originally from a family, but it declined during their childhood, and both parents passed away.

With the family collapsed, their servants and guards all left, leaving then-thirteen-year-old Tang Yucheng to carry on with his infant sister.

No one could imagine what they had gone through over the years.

Tang Yucheng achieved his success entirely on his own, step by step.

Ye Haochuan was deeply moved by Tang Yucheng’s story, feeling a sense of admiration. He couldn’t have done better.

A sleepless night, and early the next morning, they finally stopped chatting and prepared for the selection event.

Tang Xun’er was left in the cellar, as they couldn’t keep an eye on her during the competition.

For safety, Ye Haochuan set up a killing formation nearby, ensuring anyone daring enough to approach the cellar would pay a price.

With preparations done, they headed to the competition square.

The square was still crowded with people and appeared even more crowded than the previous days.

Just as the two planned to fly to the square, an angry shout erupted from the crowd, ”You punk, did you kill my son?”

As the words fell, a powerful figure suddenly appeared in front of Ye Haochuan.

In front of Tang Yucheng, another person glared, shouting, ”You hurt my son and cost him his chance to compete. I’ll seek justice for Feihu today.”

Oh no, they set up an ambush!

Seeing these two, cold sweat dripped from Ye Haochuan, and his heart sank instantly.
