Invincible Little School Doctor Chapter 2050: How Disgraceful Must I Be?

"Can you explain what the situation is with the Hua Clan?" Ye Haochuan inquired with curiosity.

"Not at this moment. If I were to tell you now, it would only create an unnecessary burden on your mind, hindering your ability to focus on your cultivation. Once you reach the True Immortal Realm, we shall naturally disclose everything."

Liu Bai responded with utmost seriousness, "At that juncture, your historical mission will be entrusted to you, and there will be no escaping it!"

"Oh, come now, you make it sound so grave. Perhaps it’s better not to tell me then. A historical mission? Such matters hold no interest for me. Freedom and unruliness are far more appealing!" Ye Haochuan declared, his lips turned down.

Liu Bai let out a soft chuckle, "Certain things are decreed by fate; your refusal makes no difference!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Haochuan’s eyes widened suddenly. He gave a playful wink and a mock grimace, stating, "I can agree, but you must offer some tangible benefits in return, correct? I never engage in deals that result in a loss. You speak of saving the world, so the reward surely cannot be meager!"

Observing Ye Haochuan’s earnest expression, Liu Bai and the others exchanged amused glances.

"Youngster Ye, from this moment onward, this Half-Mountain Residence shall be your sanctuary, and we will serve as your protectors. Do you truly believe we would treat you unjustly?" the man with the steel-like beard interjected unexpectedly.

"No, no, no, what protectors? I do not casually accept parental figures!" Ye Haochuan stated with clear disdain.

Shentu Fu let out a laugh upon hearing this and queried, "Then, are you implying you wish to forgo the advantages that Half-Mountain Residence provides?"

"Of course, I desire the benefits, but not at the cost of selling myself, would I? As for considering this place my home, I would rather not. You even welcomed individuals like Li Qi; who knows what malevolent characters you might have admitted. I fear being tainted by such company!"

"Haha, you truly bear a grudge!" Shentu Fu chuckled, continuing, "Our decision to accept Li Qi was for your protection; you are indeed like a dog from the Lv Dongbin analogy, biting the hand that nourishes you."

"Protect me? You must be jesting!" Ye Haochuan retorted with indifference.

Shentu Fu offered a wry smile, stating, "Should you officially become a disciple of Half-Mountain Residence, you would ascend to prominence. At that point, nosy individuals would scrutinize your lineage back eighteen generations. Once your Huaxia origins are known, you’d be finished!"

"Blast it all, did my Hua Clan ancestors commit some public atrocity that stirred widespread outrage?" Ye Haochuan questioned with a gloomy expression.

He had initially envisioned the Immortal Realm as his ultimate aspiration, but it now appeared more akin to a desolate hell.

"I cannot divulge the precise details for the time being, but I can assure you responsibly that your Hua Clan ancestors did not engage in any reprehensible acts. It is merely that a towering tree invariably attracts the wind, inevitably provoking envy from others," Shentu Fu elucidated.

"Very well, let us not dwell on this any further. Although you will not be an official member of Half-Mountain Residence, you remain one of our own. You shall still receive the same privileges extended to our disciples!"

Liu Bai announced, producing a vial of pills and presenting it to Ye Haochuan, "These are second-grade Mysterious Pills, specifically Three Revolutions Resurrection Pills. Among the second-grade tier, they are the most potent healing concoctions available. Given your current cultivation level, you are not yet capable of utilizing third-grade Mysterious Pills, hence this offering for now!"

Astonishing! The benefits provided by Half-Mountain Residence were truly exceptional, casually bestowing second-grade Mysterious Pills?

Ye Haochuan’s heart swelled with joy, and he promptly extended his hand to receive the gift.

Within the delicate jade bottle lay six Mysterious Pills, all classified as Spirit Level.

Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but swallow audibly; he was acutely aware of the immense value of Spirit Level Pills. The last occasion he had participated in an auction for first-grade Spirit Level Mysterious Pills, each had commanded a price close to five thousand red crystals.

Second-grade Mysterious Pills possessed a value exceeding that of a hundred first-grade pills and were exceedingly rare and difficult to obtain.

If these six pills were to be offered in the market, they would undoubtedly fetch an astronomical sum.

Ye Haochuan hesitated for a brief moment but ultimately found himself unwilling to use the precious pills to mend his injuries. Instead, he retrieved an Infant Energy Condensation Pill, which he had personally refined, and placed it into his mouth.

Despite being merely a first-grade Mysterious Pill, its efficacy was quite remarkable, and within mere breaths, Ye Haochuan’s spiritual energy had recuperated by half.

"Alright, enough pleasantries, present your beloved little creature!" Shentu Fu declared assertively, sensing that the discussion had reached its natural conclusion.

Ye Haochuan did not dare to delay for even an instant. He swiftly released the small, crimson bat from its miniature golden coffin, enveloping it with spiritual energy for careful protection, and then presented it to Shentu Fu.

Shentu Fu’s gaze became fixated upon the tiny golden coffin, his expression carrying a hint of complexity.

Ultimately, he remained silent, taking Sophia with him. He then spoke to Ye Haochuan, "To save her will require a full hundred days of dedicated effort. Return in a hundred days to pick her up!"

"A hundred days?" Ye Haochuan exclaimed in surprise. "That's strange, weren't you able to transform them with just a gesture back then?"

"That was in the Lower Realm, which does not possess the stringent rules of this world. Furthermore, your little sweetheart's cultivation talent is merely average; do I not require time to enhance her physique?" Shentu Fu replied with a touch of irritation.

Ye Haochuan was rendered utterly speechless in an instant.

Shentu Fu wasted no further words with Ye Haochuan and departed with Sophia.

The man with the steel beard suddenly spoke, "Kid, my name is Tian Dang, and I am an Artifact Refiner. Since you are now one of us at Half-Mountain Residence, it would be dishonorable for me to allow you to wield a damaged weapon."

Ye Haochuan grasped Tian Dang's meaning and was instantly thrilled. Tian Dang's intention was clearly to repair the Halberd of Heaven and Earth for him.

Ye Haochuan was uncertain about Tian Dang's artifact refining skills. However, Tian Dang's cultivation seemed to possess an unending depth.

Such a formidable Artifact Refiner ought to possess high-tier refining capabilities.

"Junior Brother Tian Dang is the foremost Divine Level Artifact Refiner at Half-Mountain Residence. You can confidently entrust your weapon to him; I guarantee he will not disappoint!" Liu Bai explained, observing Ye Haochuan's hesitation in handing over the Halberd of Heaven and Earth.

"Di... Divine Level Artifact Refiner?" Ye Haochuan was completely astounded.

He had surmised that Tian Dang's artifact refining skills were not bad, but he had never anticipated they would reach the Divine Level.

No one truly knows the pinnacle of the Divine Level, but in this world, it undoubtedly represents the highest attainable tier.

With this realization, Ye Haochuan could no longer contain himself and swiftly presented the Halberd of Heaven and Earth.

Tian Dang accepted the halberd and eagerly proceeded to its repair.

"Oh, right, I neglected to introduce myself!" Liu Bai said with a smile. "I am the current Manor Master of Half-Mountain Residence. Should you require any assistance from Half-Mountain Residence in the future, do not hesitate to approach me!"

Having said this, he turned towards Liu Yifei, who was engrossed in her thoughts, and instructed, "Take Haochuan to settle in, and ensure that no other disciples lay eyes on him!"

Oh, come now, unseen by others? How incredibly embarrassing must that be?

Ye Haochuan chuckled bitterly in his heart.
