Invincible Little School Doctor Chapter 2067: I’m Straight!

"You're still spouting nonsense? Take a look at your soul..."
The young man was about to retort, but he suddenly realized that his soul power was precisely the same as before Ye Haochuan rescued him, showing no signs of damage.
"How can this be? You clearly just..." The young man found it hard to believe.
A portion of his soul had dissipated earlier, and even if it were to recover, it shouldn't have done so this rapidly!
"And what about me? Do you truly believe I would foolishly destroy the very soul power I went to such lengths to help you restore?"
Ye Haochuan let out a knowing smirk. "Besides, you aided me before, so how could I possibly repay kindness with enmity?"
"You..." The young man instantly grasped the situation, his displeasure evident. "You actually used an illusion technique on me! I'm going to fight you!"
Indeed, the young man was correct. Ye Haochuan had been subtly employing the Vermilion Bird Illusionary Seal ever since his 'intimidation' began.
The Vermilion Bird Illusionary Seal was a cultivation technique from the Treasure-Level Late Stage. For Ye Haochuan at his current level, it was already somewhat lacking.
However, it was more than sufficient to handle this young man.
Although this fellow had possessed considerable power in life, at this moment, he was merely a remnant wisp of a soul. Furthermore, having just narrowly escaped complete annihilation, it was the very soul Ye Haochuan had recently salvaged.
Such fragile soul power offered no resistance whatsoever in Ye Haochuan's grasp.
Just as now, even though the young man declared his intention to fight, he was incapable of inflicting even the slightest injury upon Ye Haochuan.
"By the way, I still don't know your name!" Ye Haochuan suddenly inquired with a smile towards the exasperated young man.
After a period of anger, the young man seemed to resign himself to his circumstances. While unwilling to admit it, he had no alternative. His Communicating with God Treasure Order was in Ye Haochuan’s possession, and Ye Haochuan was no longer as feeble as he once was.
The current Ye Haochuan held complete sway over him!
"Dou Chi!"
"Alright, Dou Chi, you shall follow me from now on. If you conduct yourself properly and please me, I might even find a way to restore your physical body and return you to your former glory!" Ye Haochuan declared with unwavering confidence.
"Tch, do you imagine reconstructing a body is that simple? Never mind the cultivation needed for body reconstruction; the required materials are far beyond your reach!" Dou Chi scoffed disdainfully.
"You know how to reconstruct a body?" Ye Haochuan's surprise was tinged with pleasure.
"Naturally, I am a once-in-a-century prodigy, well-versed in all matters, from the celestial to the terrestrial!" Dou Chi proclaimed with evident pride.
Ye Haochuan felt a surge of joy upon hearing this. He had been searching for a method to reconstruct Liu Xianglan's body but had been at a complete loss. Now that Dou Chi possessed such knowledge, it saved him considerable trouble.
"The initial step in body reconstruction involves acquiring an Ancient Bone Iron Fir that is over a thousand years old for the skeletal structure, then obtaining Heavenly Soul Mud for the flesh, an Earth Wisdom Bead for the brain, and Formless Spring for the blood..."
Dou Chi elaborated, "Setting aside other components, even these few items are treasures that are exceedingly difficult to procure. I advise you to first cultivate to the True Immortal Realm before even contemplating whether you stand a chance of finding these materials. As for now, don't even dream about it!"
"What, it's that intricate?" Ye Haochuan couldn't help but sigh.
"Otherwise, what did you expect? That you could simply scoop up some roadside dirt and fashion a body?"
Dou Chi sneered. "Of course, this isn't the only method, but the body reconstructed through this process is the most flawless. For a genius like myself, inhabiting a mundane body would be an affront to my noble soul!"
*Damn, you're practically at death's door, yet you still consider yourself so noble? If it truly came down to dissipating into nothingness, you'd desperately try to possess even a dog's body, wouldn't you?*
Ye Haochuan mused derisively.
However, he soon fell into deep thought.
His intention to restore Liu Xianglan's body naturally required the utmost effort. If it were remade with mediocre potential, rendering her unable to cultivate, it would indeed tarnish the reputation of the Blood Zither Heavenly Maiden.
"No matter how rare they are, I will find them. You simply need to tell me where these components can be located!" Ye Haochuan declared with firm resolve.
"Oh my, why are you so eager to reconstruct my body? Could it be you've developed feelings for me? I must inform you, I am not interested in men!" Dou Chi, unaware of Liu Xianglan's situation, expressed his astonishment.
Ye Haochuan's expression darkened, and he let out a quiet snort. "Spare me the inane chatter and tell me quickly!"
Instead of anger, Dou Chi felt a wave of emotion. He explained, "The Ancient Bone Iron Fir can only be found in the biting cold of the far north, and the Heavenly Soul Mud, along with the Formless Spring, are located within the Temple's Four Images Secret Realm. However, this particular secret realm is under the direct control of the Temple. Unless one is a chosen heir of the Temple, entry is forbidden!"
With each word Dou Chi spoke, Ye Haochuan's brow furrowed deeper. While he was uncertain of the perils within the frigid lands, the Temple's reputation preceded it; as the supreme authority in the Immortal Realm, becoming an heir was a monumental, perhaps impossible, task.
"And the Earth Wisdom Bead?" Ye Haochuan pressed on.
"The Earth Wisdom Bead is quite unique; it has no fixed origin, making it the most elusive," Dou Chi replied. "If my sister were still alive, she would possess one, but alas, she..."
"You have a sister? What happened to her?" Ye Haochuan inquired, his curiosity piqued.
Dou Chi's expression grew somber. "My sister and I were on the run together. To shield me, she almost had her soul scattered. I placed her body within her Crimson Cloud Gold Coffin, hoping to revive her when the chance arose. Regrettably, my efforts were in vain, and I ultimately fell to my enemies. The whereabouts of the Crimson Cloud Gold Coffin became lost..."
"Crimson Cloud Gold Coffin? Containing a woman?" Ye Haochuan asked, a peculiar look on his face as he revealed the small gold coffin he carried. "Are you by any chance referring to this coffin?"
Upon spotting the miniature gold coffin, Dou Chi's eyes widened, and he nodded vigorously, like a pecking chicken. "That's the one! How could it have ended up in your possession?"
Ye Haochuan mused, thinking how remarkably small the world was, and how coincidental this all seemed. He then recounted to Dou Chi the story of how he acquired the small gold coffin.
"Precisely!" Dou Chi exclaimed, a sudden realization dawning on him. "I was pursued by my enemies in the Lower Realm and met my end there. It makes perfect sense that the Crimson Cloud Gold Coffin was found in the Lower Realm!"
He then cast a meaningful glance at Ye Haochuan.
Ye Haochuan couldn't help but wonder if some kind of fated connection bound him to Dou Chi. Otherwise, how could Dou Chi have found both him and his sister?
"Alright, stop looking at me like that. I'm straight!" Ye Haochuan muttered, unsettled by Dou Chi's intense gaze.
Dou Chi seemed to snap out of his reverie, clearing his throat. "Now that my sister has been located, provided you manage to revive her, you can ask her for the Earth Wisdom Bead. Knowing it is to aid me, she will surely grant your request."
