Invincible Little School Doctor Chapter 2023: There Should Be Quite a Stash Hidden, Right?

Dealing with a cultivator in the early stage of Immortal Transformation with the might of the Nine-Tailed Sword Qi—wasn't that as simple as lifting a finger?

The opponent managed to resist briefly, just barely warding off four or five of the tail swords. However, the remaining tail swords swiftly tore him to shreds.

It turned out that without the support of the Illusion Array, he wouldn't have lasted more than two rounds against Ye Haochuan.

Bang~

The moment Ye Haochuan finished off the man, the Dragon Scale Stone, adorned with intricate patterns, suddenly exploded with a deafening sound.

"So close, thank goodness I made it in time!" Ye Haochuan inwardly expressed his relief.

As the man before him had stated, Ye Haochuan's comeback victory was entirely dependent on this Formation Foundation.

In truth, setting up an Illusion-Breaking Formation did not necessitate three Formation Foundations; inscribing all the Array Patterns onto a single one would suffice.

Nevertheless, such a setup would not be as robust as one employing three Formation Foundations, and its effectiveness would be considerably diminished.

The reason for his specific approach was to lower the opponent's guard, leading him to disregard this particular Formation Foundation, believing it to be powerless.

In reality, this Formation Foundation possessed the ability to liberate anything within a two-meter radius from the Illusion Array's dominion.

Since the adversary could perceive everything within the array, he paid no mind to the anomaly in that specific area.

Following this, Ye Haochuan activated his Invisibility Ability, sowing seeds of suspicion in the opponent. The latter then proceeded to investigate, because if he hadn't, Ye Haochuan would never have had the opportunity to confront him.

Evidently, his meticulously crafted plan had yielded exceptional results. The adversary, under the delusion that he could move undetected throughout the entire Illusion Array, carelessly ventured into the compromised zone, only to be promptly dispatched by Ye Haochuan.

To Ye Haochuan's immense relief, he succeeded in dispatching the individual while this Formation Foundation remained active. Had it failed, the situation would have escalated into a far more perilous predicament.

Upon the adversary's demise, a significant portion of the surrounding mist began to dissipate.

Ye Haochuan discovered a token, embellished with talismans, upon the fallen foe. Given Ye Haochuan's proficiency in formations, discerning that this was the Array Token of this Great Formation was not a difficult task.

This Array Token, also referred to as an Array Soul, serves as the central control mechanism for a Great Formation. If autonomous operation is desired, the Array Token can be integrated directly into the formation during its establishment, eliminating the need for external intervention.

The presence of an Array Token implied that someone had been assigned to guard this formation. However, for reasons unknown, the guard had met their end, allowing the individual Ye Haochuan just confronted to exploit the situation.

To be perfectly candid, while this Great Formation was indeed formidable, its potency had waned considerably with the passage of time. Had it been at its zenith, Ye Haochuan's first-grade Illusion-Breaking Formation would have been utterly incapable of breaching any area within it.

During its prime, this Great Formation could not even be challenged by some of the most formidable Powers exceeding the Nascent Soul stage.

With the Array Token now secured in his possession, navigating this Great Formation became as effortless as traversing an open path for Ye Haochuan. Meanwhile, on the other side of the formation, the other individual who had entered for "treasure hunting" remained, staring wide-eyed at the unfolding events.

Scattered across the ground not far from the formation lay over a dozen bodies. The extent of their decay varied; some were reduced to mere skeletal remains, while others still emanated a foul, putrid odor.

"Damn it, this guy was a complete lunatic, not even bothering to burn the bodies of those he killed, just leaving them out here on display?"

Ye Haochuan vented his disgust, raising a hand to summon the Purple Lotus Spirit Flame. With a surge of power, he reduced all the corpses to ashes.

Having completed this task, he proceeded to enter a small doorway situated beside the formation.

Beyond the doorway lay an ancient, expansive great hall. Yet, internally, it was utterly devoid of any furnishings; the word "empty" perfectly encapsulated its state.

"Bloody hell, this girl Le Yao is truly wicked. It's bad enough to send me to a treasure trove that's already been picked clean, but she nearly got me killed by a psycho too? If I ever see her again, she'll definitely pay for this!"

Ye Haochuan seethed with anger internally.

Fortunately, his venture was not entirely in vain. Tucked away in an inconspicuous corner, Ye Haochuan discovered several Storage Rings. These rings appeared brand new, likely not original components of the treasure but rather acquisitions from the previous occupant's plundering.

"He killed so many people; there should be a substantial hoard, right?" Ye Haochuan chuckled, proceeding to examine the contents of each ring.

"There are quite a few weapons, but I've grown accustomed to the Halberd of Heaven and Earth and the Divine Concealment Sword. Shifting to anything else would feel rather awkward!" Upon inspecting the numerous weapons within the first ring, Ye Haochuan couldn't help but let out a sigh.

In the subsequent moment, his eyes suddenly brightened as he exclaimed, "While I may not use them myself, they can certainly be used to nourish the Divine Concealment Sword!"

Following its second refining by Zhu Qingshuang, the Divine Concealment Sword inexplicably developed the capacity to devour and continue evolving. There was a possibility that by consuming these armaments, it might ascend to the Pseudo-Immortal Level.

With this notion in mind, he liberated all the weapons from within the storage ring.

"Master, I absolutely adore you!" The Divine Concealment Sword, ecstatic over its impending feast, commenced its devouring without the slightest hesitation.

"Master, you display such favoritism!" chimed in the Halberd of Heaven and Earth, its voice tinged with resentment.

Ye Haochuan offered a smile and a sigh, responding, "You lack the innate ability to devour, but rest assured, I give you my solemn promise to help you evolve as well when the opportune moment arrives."

Upon hearing this assurance, the Halberd of Heaven and Earth seemed content and uttered no further complaints.

Alas, these sentient artifacts can indeed be quite troublesome, even developing sentiments of jealousy!

Ye Haochuan lamented inwardly before proceeding to unlock the second ring.

This particular ring contained a selection of Magical Treasures. Ye Haochuan surveyed their contents, noting that most were of Treasure-Level quality, with only a scarce few achieving the Pseudo-Immortal Realm.

"Hmm? This shield appears quite magnificent!" Ye Haochuan found himself unexpectedly captivated by a sizable shield.

The shield stood imposing, approximately three meters in height and over two meters in width, offering substantial coverage sufficient for four or five individuals without any sense of congestion.

Most significantly, this shield represented the highest-grade item within the ring, having attained the Pseudo-Immortal Mid-Stage.

However, such a colossal shield seemed rather unwieldy for Ye Haochuan's personal use, leading him to decide on bestowing it upon Niu Kui instead.

Envisioning Niu Kui wielding the Giant Que in one hand and this formidable shield in the other, he would undoubtedly cut a figure akin to a human-shaped behemoth.

The third and fourth rings yielded red crystals, their combined total reaching an astonishing 1.8 million, a sight that genuinely thrilled Ye Haochuan.

At the very least, this expedition had proven fruitful; these 1.8 million red crystals would suffice for his needs for a considerable duration.

"Blast it all, these treasure hunters are utterly ruthless, not even leaving a shred behind for me!" Having secured all the loot, Ye Haochuan cast another gaze upon the emptied great hall and sighed.

Nevertheless, such a sentiment was rather illogical; were he the one seeking treasures, he too would likely leave nothing for subsequent arrivals.

"Hm? Those characters..."

Ye Haochuan's attention was suddenly drawn to a large character inscribed upon the ceiling of the great hall.

It was an imposing "Hua" character, its strokes imbued with an aura of commanding presence.

Perhaps owing to his Huaxia heritage, Ye Haochuan felt an inexplicable connection to the character bearing the mark of "Hua."
