Invincible Little School Doctor Chapter 2025: Looking More Like a Woman’s Sword
Previously on Invincible Little School Doctor...
Ye Haochuan felt an inexplicable affinity for the stone pedestal before him.
"Could this be an heirloom from my ancestors? But that doesn't seem right. Liu Xianglan felt it too. Could we possibly share the same lineage?" Ye Haochuan pondered with bewilderment.
His confusion was short-lived as a voice from within compelled him to drip his blood onto the pedestal.
Without hesitation this time, Ye Haochuan bit his fingertip, allowing a drop of blood to fall.
Beeing~ Beeing~
The instant his blood made contact, the stone pedestal vibrated and then cracked open.
"Blast it all! After all my contemplation, who would have thought my own blood was the key to opening this stone pedestal!"
Ye Haochuan felt a pang of frustration.
He had initially speculated it might be something left by another clan's ancestors, which is why he hesitated to use his own blood. Looking back, he realized how foolish that was!
"Greetings, descendant of the Hua Clan..."
A wisp of green smoke emerged from the fractured pedestal, coalescing into the spectral image of an elderly man.
"Hua Clan? So it truly is the Hua Clan?" Ye Haochuan's mind raced with possibilities.
He had spotted the character 'Hua' earlier in the main hall and had suspected a connection to the Hua Clan. Now, his hunch was confirmed.
Furthermore, he understood why both he and Liu Xianglan had sensed its call; it wasn't exclusive to a particular family but extended to all of the Hua Clan lineage.
Ye Haochuan wasn't sure of the distinction between Huaxia and the Hua Clan, but it was evident they shared a significant link.
"Senior, who might you be..." Ye Haochuan inquired, his curiosity piqued.
The phantom seemed oblivious to his question, continuing its solemn declaration: "This Manual of Returning to the Origin of Wondrous Flowers is a paramount cultivation technique of the Hua Clan. I entrust it to you, hoping you will diligently practice it and allow its brilliance to endure..."
"Hmph, you're merely an incorporeal spirit. I had hoped to glean some valuable information!"
Ye Haochuan inwardly expressed his disappointment.
Having spoken its piece, the phantom appeared to expend its final vestiges of energy and vanished.
"Manual of Returning to the Origin of Wondrous Flowers?" Ye Haochuan retrieved the hidden scripture from within the stone pedestal, a thrill coursing through him.
A top-tier cultivation method of the Hua Clan – the reputation alone was formidable!
Ye Haochuan's Longevity Technique had proven insufficient upon reaching the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. He had been vexed by the absence of a suitable cultivation method. Acquiring this Manual of Returning to the Origin of Wondrous Flowers felt like finding a much-needed support just when he was struggling.
Eagerly, he unfurled the manual and began to study it intently.
To his pleasant surprise, the Manual of Returning to the Origin of Wondrous Flowers bore a striking resemblance to an advanced iteration of the Longevity Technique; numerous cultivation principles were uncannily alike.
Having practiced the Longevity Technique for so long, Ye Haochuan had developed a deep fondness for it. This similarity only strengthened his burgeoning connection to the new manual.
At this moment, all he wished for was to escort Liu Xianglan back and immediately commence cultivating with the Manual of Returning to the Origin of Wondrous Flowers.
Time seemed to fly, and in the span of three days, Ye Haochuan had thoroughly internalized the entirety of the Manual of Returning to the Origin of Wondrous Flowers.
He then dedicated another ten days to cultivation, completely supplanting the Longevity Technique with the principles from the new manual.
Following this transition, Ye Haochuan perceived a significant enhancement in the spiritual Qi flow within him. He felt his current power had more than doubled.
However, to his dismay, his cultivation level did not advance to the Immortal Transformation Realm. There was only a marginal increase, leaving him still a single step away from that coveted threshold.
Yet, that final step didn't appear insurmountably difficult; it merely required the opportune moment to achieve the breakthrough.
"I wonder if I can finally awaken the figure within the Communicating with God Treasure Order now?" a sudden thought struck Ye Haochuan.
After reaching the Nascent Soul Peak, he had attempted to awaken the entity within the Communicating with God Treasure Order multiple times, but all his efforts yielded no response.
Now that his power had grown, he resolved to try once more.
The Communicating with God Treasure Order retained its unadorned appearance. Ye Haochuan held it in his palm, gradually channeling his spiritual energy into it.
Nevertheless, the Treasure Order acted like an inexhaustible void, absorbing every trace of spiritual energy he infused.
"Damn it, it's still not responding!"
After numerous attempts, Ye Haochuan discovered that he had depleted over half of his spiritual energy without eliciting any response from the Communicating with God Treasure Order, leading to his considerable disappointment.
"It appears I must ascend to the Immortal Transformation Realm before attempting again!" Ye Haochuan lamented.
Should he fail to awaken the soul within the Communicating with God Treasure Order even at the Immortal Transformation Realm, he would truly be without recourse.
"What? The Divine Concealment Sword has undergone an evolution?" Ye Haochuan's attention was suddenly captivated by the Divine Concealment Sword before him.
The sword had been absorbing other materials for a period, and visible changes were now apparent on its blade.
Initially hollow, the sword's blade had not thickened with the consumed materials; instead, it had become even more slender.
Now, the Divine Concealment Sword resembled a masterful piece of art, seemingly crafted for admiration rather than practical use, as the intricate patterns adorning the blade appeared exceptionally delicate.
Upon grasping the Divine Concealment Sword, Ye Haochuan found it was indeed significantly lighter, feeling almost akin to the weight of a child's toy.
He mused, 'This sword is increasingly resembling something a woman would wield!'
Ye Haochuan was simultaneously amused and perplexed.
The mere thought of a grown man unsheathing such an ornate, seemingly frail longsword struck him as rather comical.
Nevertheless, there were advantages to this; others would undoubtedly underestimate him, allowing him to feign weakness and annihilate his adversaries with a single, decisive strike.
After scrutinizing its appearance, Ye Haochuan proceeded to test the sharpness of the Divine Concealment Sword. He took a colossal sword, not entirely consumed by the Divine Concealment Sword, and clashed them together.
Instantly, the pseudo-immortal level colossal sword was bisected as if it were made of soft tofu by the formidable Divine Concealment Sword.
"Seriously, it's becoming astonishingly potent!" Ye Haochuan could not suppress his exclamation.
Before its evolution, despite its sharpness, the Divine Concealment Sword had struggled against weapons of pseudo-immortal level. Now, cleaving them apart seemed almost effortless.
"Haha, acquiring the cultivation method and enhancing the Divine Concealment Sword—this treasure hunt has yielded magnificent rewards!" Ye Haochuan guffawed heartily.
Relative to these two monumental gains, the 1.7 to 1.8 million red crystals seemed rather trivial.
Gathering his belongings and confirming that nothing else remained within the grand hall, Ye Haochuan traversed the Illusion Array to arrive at the vicinity of the Crimson Blood Tree and the immense boulder.
Deep within the forest, Ye Haochuan dared not reveal himself. He located the tunnel he had used for entry and swiftly retreated into its confines.
Continuing through the tunnel, Ye Haochuan did not emerge from his point of entry but proceeded to its terminus.
To his surprise, the tunnel's end opened into a derelict, ancient mansion.
This mansion was vast, undoubtedly a grand estate in its prime. However, it had now lain abandoned for untold years, overgrown with wild vegetation.
"Sikong Mansion? Could it be that the Sikong Family were the guardians of this treasure?" Ye Haochuan wondered with curiosity, gazing at the weathered plaque affixed outside the mansion.
