Invincible Little School Doctor Chapter 2114: A Wise Man Does Not Suffer Losses Before His Eyes
Previously on Invincible Little School Doctor...
"Ye Haochuan, you deem my daughter unsightly? Is that the reason for your strong refusal?" The director's voice brimmed with anger and chill.
Good heavens, whether your daughter is fair or not, don't you have any self-awareness?
Ye Haochuan inwardly lamented, yet could only muster a strained smile and grit out, "Not unsightly, not unsightly, I merely believe myself unworthy of her."
"Enough with the foolish talk. Since you've taken advantage of my daughter, you must assume responsibility for her. Henceforth, you two shall be a couple. Should you mistreat her in the slightest, this director will not show leniency!" The director's words were laced with authority, akin to a royal decree.
"Uh, I..."
Ye Haochuan attempted a final plea, but Pan Muxiang interjected, "He disregards your command; he stated he is merely in a cooperative arrangement with you and possesses no authority over him, lest he cause both Kirins to self-destruct!"
My word, this woman truly harbors resentment, doesn't she?
Ye Haochuan felt on the verge of tears; this statement now was merely adding fuel to the flames, wasn't it?
As expected, the director's complexion turned ashen upon hearing this, and he scoffed coldly, "You dare to threaten me? Let me tell you, compared to my daughter, those two Kirins are insignificant. Truly enrage this director, and I shall annihilate every one of you!"
"Not at all, being able to be with Miss Mu Xiang is my utmost honor!" Ye Haochuan declared awkwardly.
Blast it, a prudent individual understands the value of short-term concessions; I shall endure!
Ye Haochuan dared not truly provoke the director's ire, lest he meet an untimely end over a woman, which would hardly be worthwhile.
Fortunately, the director merely alluded to them being a couple, not immediate matrimony; he still possessed a sliver of hope for escape.
Witnessing Ye Haochuan's verbal acquiescence, the palpable tension finally began to dissipate.
Onlookers cast amicable glances toward Ye Haochuan; should he indeed enter into a union with Pan Muxiang, within the Sky Hunting Association, his standing would be akin to that of a prince consort. Naturally, fostering alliances was far more prudent than creating adversaries.
In the arena, only Dennis wore a countenance as if he had suffered a profound loss.
"Dennis, should your alchemy endeavor this time prove successful, I shall overlook your prior insolence towards my daughter. However, if you falter, hmph!" The director proclaimed with imposing dominance.
Though his words remained unfinished, every individual present understood that the mere utterance of "hmph" signified dire repercussions.
Dennis visibly flinched, clearly intimidated by the director's formidable aura.
"Commence!" the director declared abruptly, disregarding Dennis's discomposure.
Dennis's lips twitched, yet he ultimately refrained from defying the director and positioned himself obediently before the large cauldron.
Swiftly, Dennis produced numerous vials and jars, arranging them upon the stand adjacent to the black cauldron.
Subsequently, he procured stones of peculiar shapes with remarkable speed and, after striking them together a few times, miraculously ignited a fierce and seemingly inextinguishable blaze.
Having positioned the fire beneath the cauldron, Dennis then commenced manipulating the vials and jars.
After scattering a portion of medicinal powder into the cauldron's base, he enlisted the assistance of two others, instructing them to pour their Spiritual Energy liquid and some Flower Energy into the cauldron's depths.
Observing this spectacle, Ye Haochuan was utterly bewildered.
What manner of pill necessitates such an immense quantity of Spiritual Energy and Flower Energy for its sustainment?
His curiosity intensified regarding the refinement process of this particular pill.
What transpired subsequently was largely unremarkable.
Diverse powders and liquids were introduced into the cauldron, akin to seasoning a soup, transforming the initially pale yellow Spirit Qi Liquid into a stark black hue, accompanied by an offensive odor.
Ye Haochuan had never witnessed such an unappetizing form of alchemy. Typically, during his own practice, a pleasant herbal fragrance would permeate the air, refreshing the spirit, unlike this noxious concoction that induced nausea.
At this juncture, Dennis, however, presented an appearance as if he had accomplished a monumental feat, exhaling a protracted sigh of relief before directing his gaze toward the Ice Jade Kirin.
The Ice Jade Kirin, already aware of the proceedings, eventually expelled a few drops of its Essential Blood.
Voluntary expulsion inherently minimizes the creature's exertion; if its blood were forcibly extracted, the Ice Jade Kirin would be reduced to a state perilously close to death.
Nevertheless, even in this voluntary act, the expenditure of several drops of Essential Blood caused the Ice Jade Kirin's complexion to pale considerably.
Dennis meticulously collected the Essential Blood, gauging the opportune moment, and gently dripped it into the mixture.
Boom~
The instant the Essential Blood made contact, the spiritual liquid within the cauldron surged violently and erupted, as if bombs, rather than Essential Blood, had been introduced.
Beads of perspiration dotted Dennis's forehead; he struggled assiduously to regain control of the volatile situation and ultimately succeeded in stabilizing it, restoring the spiritual liquid to a state of calmness.
"Release the other Kirin!" Dennis commanded.
This particular pill is named the Twin Dragons Binding Gold Pill. While it utilizes Kirin blood in place of Dragon Blood, the pill's potency remains robust due to Kirins also being Divine Beasts.
Though a single Kirin's blood could be employed, its effectiveness would undoubtedly be considerably diminished.
Without a moment's hesitation, Ye Haochuan promptly summoned Yinfeng.
Yinfeng, now lacking a physical form, could not yield Essential Blood. However, it was capable of directly extracting a portion of its energy form for utilization, achieving effects comparable to Essential Blood.
This specific procedure was, naturally, best executed by Yinfeng itself.
As Yinfeng channeled its pure energy into Dennis's palm, his hand began to shake uncontrollably.
This marked the final stage of the entire refining process, and simultaneously, the most arduous and critical step.
A sense of nervousness mingled with anticipation and excitement washed over him; success in refining this pill would definitively validate his mastery of alchemy.
After taking several deep, calming breaths, Dennis meticulously introduced Yinfeng's pure energy into the cauldron.
Rumbling~
The cauldron erupted with sounds akin to an intense bombardment, the mixture of spiritual liquid churning and surging relentlessly.
Dennis's complexion turned ashen, yet he gritted his teeth fiercely. The pronounced veins on his forehead clearly indicated he was expending every ounce of his strength.
Nevertheless, the spiritual liquid within the cauldron seemed utterly indifferent to his efforts, rolling persistently irrespective of his exertion.
Amidst this tumultuous churning, the liquid continuously evaporated, shrouding the entire hall in clouds and mist, accompanied by a foul odor.
Was this alchemy technique truly that rudimentary? With over half the medicinal properties dissipating into vapor, what significant impact could the resulting pill possibly possess?
Pinching his nose, Ye Haochuan cast a dismissive glance at Dennis.
At this very moment, Dennis's voice suddenly boomed, "Damn it, I can't control it!"
The instant his words left his lips, a resounding "bang" echoed as the large black cauldron detonated.
Fortunately, the assembled individuals were all experts, rendering them immune to injury from such an explosion. However, a considerable number found themselves unexpectedly spattered with the malodorous medicinal liquid.
"What transpired? Did you not state an eighty percent probability of success?" The director's face contorted into a deep frown as he spoke with chilling coldness.
Dennis flinched violently, hastily dropping to his knees and stammering an explanation, "I made an error this time. I have already learned from my previous experiences. Director, please grant me another opportunity; I assure you, I will achieve success this time!"
A flicker of killing intent glinted in the director's eyes, but he offered no further words, implicitly granting his assent.
This compliance stemmed not from exceptional magnanimity, but rather from the stark reality that within the entirety of the Sky Hunting Association, Dennis possessed the most adept alchemy skills. If he were denied another chance, the likelihood of anyone else succeeding would be even more remote.
Just then, an out-of-place voice abruptly cut through the air, "With such a crude alchemy method, do not anticipate success even in a lifetime; you will only be fruitlessly squandering excellent materials!"
