Invincible Little School Doctor Chapter 2026: Tycoon

Finding nothing of value left in the dilapidated house, Ye Haochuan did not linger. He promptly located Niu Kui, and their search for Long Keyue recommenced.

In what felt like the blink of an eye, Ye Haochuan had spent another ten days within the confines of Skywolf City.

Throughout this period, his proficiency with the Manual of Returning to the Origin of Wondrous Flowers grew considerably. However, despite his dedicated cultivation, the crucial breakthrough to the Immortal Transformation stage remained elusive.

It appeared that a significant opportunity was needed for advancement!

Ye Haochuan let out a self-directed sigh.

For the entirety of these ten days, he had tirelessly sought any sign of Long Keyue, yet his efforts yielded nothing. Not a single soul in the city had encountered them.

"Something is amiss. Based on the established timeline, they ought to have reached Skywolf City by now!" Ye Haochuan's brow furrowed in contemplation.

Long Keyue and her companions had departed from Mushan City even before Ye Haochuan. Now that he had been in Skywolf City for twenty to thirty days, even with a slower pace, they should have arrived.

"Could it be that their destination was not this way?" A sense of unease began to creep into Ye Haochuan's heart.

If Xu Wenrui and Long Keyue had not journeyed towards Anxi County, where else could they have possibly gone? Beyond this single potential path, Ye Haochuan truly could not fathom any other location for Long Keyue.

This thousand-year-old burden was proving to be quite the vexation. If only it could grant him the ability to sense the other party's location, he would be spared this arduous, blind search.

"Lingering here passively is not a viable strategy. Sophia's situation cannot be postponed any further!" Ye Haochuan's internal conflict resolved, leading him to a difficult decision.

He summoned Niu Kui and issued his instructions: "Remain here and continue your search for Keyue. I will provide you with a message. Should you find her, give her this note and instruct her to await my return here. I am heading to Half-Mountain Residence, and I anticipate being back within a few days!"

Since acquiring the treasure, Ye Haochuan had revised his travel plans, opting for the Teleportation Array over the arduous journey on foot.

Every County City was equipped with a Teleportation Array. The primary obstacle was the substantial cost, a sum he had been unable to afford previously.

Niu Kui acknowledged the directive with a nod.

Without delay, Ye Haochuan set his course towards the Teleportation Array.

Before long, an imposing, colossal structure loomed into view. Its entrance was fashioned from pure gold, adorned with intricate dragon carvings and painted pillars, presenting a spectacle of grandeur.

Guarding the entrance were two cultivators in the Immortal Transformation stage, their postures radiating an air of arrogance as they surveyed the surroundings.

The moment Ye Haochuan approached the threshold, he was halted by the two sentinels.

"This is a critical area belonging to the County Government. Unauthorized entry will result in immediate execution!" The guard's voice, devoid of emotion, carried a chilling resonance, akin to a cold decree.

The Teleportation Array likely represented the most vital facility within a County Government's jurisdiction. In times of emergency, it served as the swiftest conduit for the rapid deployment of reinforcements and essential supplies.

"Gentlemen, I am not here to cause any disturbance. My sole intention is to utilize the Teleportation Array!" Ye Haochuan stated his purpose with earnestness.

The two guards cast looks of disdain upon Ye Haochuan, their lips curling into sneers. "A minuscule being like you dares to harbor aspirations of using the Teleportation Array? You are utterly ignorant of the world's vastness!"

"The term 'ant' can be interpreted in two ways.

Firstly, it denotes power. Within the Immortal Realm, any individual below the Immortal Transformation stage is indeed inconsequential.

Secondly, it refers to one's standing. If you hail from an influential family, even with limited cultivation, your background can facilitate access to the Teleportation Array.

"Does lacking status inherently disqualify one from utilizing the Teleportation Array? I would be interested to know if this is a regulation established by the County Marquis himself?" Ye Haochuan's expression hardened as he posed the question.

"Hmph, do not attempt to intimidate us by invoking the County Marquis!" one guard scoffed. "While it is true there is no explicit rule forbidding individuals without status from using the Teleportation Array, the cost for transport is extraordinarily high, requiring a substantial quantity of Red Crystals. Without sufficient power or connections, how could you possibly afford such a sum?"

"Would this amount of Red Crystals be adequate?" Ye Haochuan produced a storage ring, visibly containing a million Red Crystals, and presented it to the guard.

Upon inspecting the ring, the guard's demeanor shifted abruptly. His gaze returned to Ye Haochuan, a whirlwind of thoughts churning within him.

They could not fathom how Ye Haochuan, adorned in such modest attire, could possess such an immense fortune in Red Crystals.

A short while later, the second guard discreetly conveyed a message to his companion.

"Brother, this young fellow is surprisingly affluent. What if we were to... appropriate these Red Crystals for ourselves? After all, he is merely an ant at the Nascent Soul stage and poses no threat to us!"

To them, a million Red Crystals represented an unimaginable fortune. How could such a temptation be resisted?

"My apologies, my lord, but that is not possible!" the guard responded instantly. "This young man effortlessly produced a million Red Crystals. He is clearly no ordinary Nascent Soul Stage ant. I suspect he is a young master from some influential family, merely traveling in disguise. If we were to seize his Red Crystals and his family later investigates, we would be in grave danger!"

Having stated his case, the guard turned back to his companion, then presented the storage ring back to Ye Haochuan. "My sincerest apologies, Young Master. I was unaware of your true status. Please overlook my previous rudeness," he said respectfully.

With that, the guard moved aside, gesturing for Ye Haochuan to proceed inside.

Ye Haochuan offered the guard a slight smile before slowly stepping into the room. Inside, a vast central area was revealed, dominated by an inscribed Great Formation. Six pillars, seemingly crafted from an unknown material, were positioned at regular intervals around the formation. Each pillar was capped with a luminous Crystal Stone.

Though the Crystal Stones resembled ordinary glass to the untrained eye, Ye Haochuan was astonished upon sensing a faint, sacred aura emanating from each one. Beyond just the aura, the sheer abundance of Flower Energy contained within these Crystal Stones was staggering.

It is known that Red Crystals contain a minuscule amount of Flower Energy, with higher grades possessing more. For example, Middle-Grade Red Crystals hold a hundred times the Flower Energy of Low-Grade ones, making one Middle-Grade Red Crystal equivalent to a hundred Low-Grade ones. However, even Top-Grade Red Crystals are not composed entirely of Flower Energy; they still contain no trace of Spiritual Energy.

These transparent Crystal Stones could only be one thing: Divine Crystals. This realization struck Ye Haochuan with awe, and he greedily surveyed the transparent Crystal Stones once more.

Ye Haochuan's first encounter with the concept of Divine Crystals was through Little Hun, in the context of Earth's Teleportation Array leading to the White Court Origin Realm. Little Hun had explained that Divine Crystals facilitated unrestricted movement, whereas Red Crystals only permitted limited travel.

Now, it was abundantly clear that Divine Crystals were indeed the supreme material for constructing Teleportation Arrays. Even within the Immortal Realm, with its potent Rule Power, they were essential for enabling spatial transfers.

"Where do you wish to be teleported?" a languid yet undeniably excited voice inquired, reaching Ye Haochuan's ears. This belonged to a slender elder, who had been dozing on a nearby table but was now fully alert, his eyes gleaming with anticipation at the sight of Ye Haochuan. After all, any patron who arrived at this establishment was undoubtedly wealthy, and the promise of Red Crystals was a source of immense excitement for him.
