Invincible Little School Doctor Chapter 2082: Gone?

For several months now within the Immortal Realm, Ye Haochuan has gained a certain level of understanding. He is acutely aware that the concept of 'English' does not exist here.

"This was a gift from my grandfather. On his deathbed, he told me to keep it safe, saying it was incredibly important. I rushed out last time and completely forgot about it!" Niu Kui sheepishly admitted, scratching the back of his head.

"Very important?" Ye Haochuan couldn't help but scrutinize the jade.

The markings on this jade don't appear to be words; they seem more like a surname, yet nothing is discernible from them.

Could it be that Niu Kui has Caucasian heritage? And the surname on the jade token belongs to him?

Ye Haochuan pondered this possibility.

However, Niu Kui's complexion is clearly the same as his own; how could he possibly resemble a Caucasian?

Unable to deduce the meaning, Ye Haochuan attempted to sense any fluctuations of energy from the jade token.

He soon detected a faint, peculiar energy emanating from it, so weak it seemed as though it might vanish at any moment.

"This energy feels so familiar... but where have I encountered it before?" Ye Haochuan struggled to recall, but drew a blank.

"For now, leave this item with me, and I will investigate it further!" Ye Haochuan stated without hesitation.

His intention wasn't to covet Niu Kui's possession; rather, he genuinely wished to thoroughly examine the jade stone.

Niu Kui saw no issue with this request. At this point, he considered Ye Haochuan his sole family, making it only natural to entrust him with its safekeeping.

Upon receiving the jade stone, Ye Haochuan noticed that the paper used to wrap it was no ordinary material. Its texture and feel were markedly different from commonplace paper.

Ye Haochuan carefully unfolded the wrapping, and despite its crumpled state, it appeared as pristine as new upon opening, free from any creases or smudges.

"Aha! There are words on it!" Ye Haochuan suddenly exclaimed, spotting faint, elusive characters hovering on the paper. He decided to infuse it with his Spiritual Energy.

As expected, with a surge of Spiritual Energy, the text on the paper gradually materialized.

"I, Senior Geng Tianhe, have dedicated my entire life to the study of formations. Alas, despite a lifetime of effort, I could not achieve perfection in a single formation, which remains my greatest regret. This time, I am resolved to cast aside all worldly distractions and seek a secluded spot in the Lower Realm for meditation. If I cannot perfect a formation, I swear I shall not depart!

Should I perish in this Lower Realm, the formations I've understood throughout my life must not be lost to obscurity. Therefore, I have compiled all my knowledge into a volume titled 'Hundred Arrays Collection.' If anyone should find it, consider it a fated encounter. I hope you will help propagate my formations."

"Niu Kui, where did you find this paper?" Ye Haochuan inquired curiously after reading the message.

"On one of my trips to fetch water, I found it in the well. I thought it was quite clean, so I used it to wrap the jade!" Niu Kui chuckled.

"So that's how it is!" Ye Haochuan let out a soft sigh.

This paper must have originally belonged with the 'Hundred Arrays Collection'; it's simply unclear why it became separated.

Had he discovered this paper during his initial visit, he might have sensed a destined encounter. Now that the 'Hundred Arrays Collection' is already secured within his ring, this paper seems rather redundant.

"Wait... studying... perfect formations in the Lower Realm?" Ye Haochuan suddenly froze.

He recalled the silver-haired, youthful-faced elder who had taught them the Genius Seven Kills Formation. That elder had mentioned meditating there for a thousand years before finally researching a nearly perfect formation.

The same Lower Realm, the same meditation, the same pursuit of perfect formations—could this Geng Tianhe be that very same silver-haired, youthful-faced elder?

Good heavens, how could I be so fortunate to encounter him twice? Am I truly destined to meet him?

Ye Haochuan couldn't help but marvel inwardly.

"If I ever have the chance to meet this Senior Geng again, I must offer my sincerest thanks. Without him, my cultivation would not have advanced so rapidly!" Ye Haochuan smiled, storing the paper into his interspatial ring.

The night passed in tranquility, and as dawn broke, Ye Haochuan arose early, prepared to welcome the two disciples from Half-Mountain Residence who were arriving to provide assistance.

Precisely two figures appeared within Ye Haochuan's line of sight.

"Damn it, did Half-Mountain Residence send their weakest cultivators?" Ye Haochuan couldn't help but exclaim in annoyance upon assessing their cultivation levels.

These two, one at the Immortal Transformation Peak and the other at the Immortal Transformation Late Stage, were obviously not the weakest, but they were definitely disciples from Half-Mountain Residence’s Filial Sect.

Immortal Transformation Peak and Immortal Transformation Late Stage might be considered formidable under normal circumstances, but amid this beast tide, they are really no match for it. The Nine Nether White Tiger and the Blood Pupil Demon Ape could easily handle them.

Ye Haochuan was very curious about how these two managed to breach the demon beasts’ periphery and arrive here.

Then Ye Haochuan realized that the demon beasts in this direction had somehow vanished without a trace.

If it weren’t for the demon beasts in other directions still roaring freely, Ye Haochuan might have thought the beasts had retreated already.

Good grief, is Half-Mountain Residence’s reputation so effective that even demon beasts obediently make way?

Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but conjecture.

"Let’s go!" the Immortal Transformation Peak cultivator named Cheng Jing immediately said when he saw Ye Haochuan.

Though Ye Haochuan found it odd, he ultimately decided to take everyone along with these two and leave.

To everyone’s astonishment, the journey was extraordinarily peaceful, without a single demon beast blocking their path.

After about three days, the group smoothly reached the riverbank, where Cheng Jing produced an unusual Magical Treasure, waving it casually to form a bridge over the wide river.

The group crossed the bridge smoothly, feeling as if the events of the past few days were like a dream.

In a forest not far from the crossing point, a fat worm atop the Nine Nether White Tiger silently watched the backs of Ye Haochuan’s group, speaking human words: "Can you really grant our Demon Clan sufficient development time?"

Beside the Nine Nether White Tiger stood a man. This man appeared peculiar; even facing him directly, his features were obscured.

"Rest assured, what I’ve promised you will naturally be fulfilled!" The man calmly replied, then suddenly disappeared into thin air as if he had vanished into the void.

Ye Haochuan and the others were unaware that the man was entirely responsible for their safe passage out of Mushan County.

"Since you’re safe now, we ought to leave!" After crossing the river, Cheng Jing intended to take his leave of Ye Haochuan.

"Since you’ve come, why not assist the County Marquis Mansion in reclaiming Mushan County from the demon beasts?" Ye Haochuan asked curiously.

Even though the two alone might not be enough to deal with all the demon beasts in Mushan County, joining the County Marquis’s and Prefecture Master’s ranks would certainly make them top combatants, and reclaiming Mushan County would be effortless.

"It’s not that we’re unwilling, but we have other tasks to attend to!" Cheng Jing explained briefly, then left with Ke Shuo.

There’s definitely something odd about Half-Mountain Residence’s actions towards the demon beasts!

Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but mutter in his heart.
