Invincible Little School Doctor Chapter 2256: Supreme Divine Monarch?

"Ghostfire Pill Saint? Judging by the name, he seems very formidable!" Ye Haochuan’s mouth twitched.

"Hmph, it’s just a flashy name..."

The Medicine King snorted disdainfully and looked at Ye Haochuan again, shaking his head, "However, with your current strength, there’s indeed a big gap. Don’t feel pressured though; you have decent talent. I reckon within a century, you might surpass him!"

A century? That’s quite an ambitious goal!

Ye Haochuan chuckled bitterly in his heart.

He was not yet thirty years old; imagining a hundred years was daunting to him, by then, wouldn’t he be old and decrepit?

He subconsciously forgot that he was already an expert with exceptional cultivation; in the Cultivation World, age over a hundred is barely older than a newborn.

"Alright, enough chit-chat. I shall now pass on my life’s medical skills to you." The Medicine King appeared to be in a hurry.

The next moment, his eyes suddenly gleamed, and a dim light plunged into Ye Haochuan’s mind.

Ye Haochuan suddenly felt a swelling pain in his head, as if it was going to explode.

Fortunately, this feeling didn’t last long, and soon transformed into a myriad of knowledge Ye Haochuan had never seen before.

This knowledge comprised entirely of pill and medical skills, yet its breadth was unimaginable.

Ever since he started Alchemy, Ye Haochuan had always felt the role of a Medicinal Cultivator had become indistinguishable from pill making because methods like Acupuncture seemed less effective compared to pills.

Now he understood that this was merely ignorance.

Take Acupuncture for instance; it doesn’t just aid the absorption of pills, but also holds strong efficacy itself.

This involves integrating some Formation talismans, arranging Silver Needles in specific positions equates to setting up a special Formation, whether for healing or dealing with enemies, it yields miraculous results.

Ye Haochuan now felt as if a new door opened before him, a door leading to a new world.

"This set of needles has been with me for so long, I shall pass them on to you as well!" The Medicine King suddenly waved a big hand, and forty-nine Silver Needles of various specifications flew out of the mural, hovering around Ye Haochuan.

"Thank you... teacher!" Ye Haochuan expressed his gratitude sincerely.

From the moment he received this powerful inheritance, he willingly regarded the Medicine King as his mentor.

"Good disciple!" The Medicine King nodded approvingly, yet, for some unknown reason, thin mist gathered in his eyes.

Throughout his life, despite disliking taking on disciples, he once had a favored pupil.

This disciple, carefully nurtured from a young age, was treated much like a son.

Unfortunately, it was this very disciple who forced him into a life-and-death wager with Qin Hongjun, and upon losing the contest, maliciously urged him to fulfill the bet.

Ye Haochuan’s call of "master" reminded him of the disciple’s entrance ceremony, that naïve and pure face, that humble filial respect.

Little did he realize that this obedient child would turn into such a character.

After pondering for a while, the Medicine King returned from his thoughts, saying to Ye Haochuan, "In your memory, I see a frequently used Pill Furnace, it seems quite extraordinary. Please take it out and show me!"

"Alright!" Ye Haochuan hesitated not a bit and retrieved the ancient Pill Furnace.

The Medicine King glanced at the Pill Furnace, and his eyes instantly lit up, his body even began to tremble.

"This Pill Furnace... this Pill Furnace appears..."

"What’s about this Pill Furnace?" Ye Haochuan was puzzled, wondering why the Medicine King was so agitated.

It took a while for the Medicine King to control his emotions and solemnly said, "The origin of this Pill Furnace is quite remarkable. It seems to belong to the first Pill God Supreme Divine Monarch of the Hua Clan; without a doubt, it still harbors a trace of the Supreme Divine Monarch’s unique aura!"

"Supreme Divine Monarch?" Ye Haochuan was slightly surprised and thought to himself, is that the Supreme Elderly Monarch in Huaxia’s legends?

However, he also understood, Huaxia’s legends, due to being too ancient, have not only gained a mysterious aura but also shifted from reality due to some people’s imaginations.

He wondered if the bull-riding Supreme Elderly Monarch was the Supreme Divine Monarch the Medicine King mentioned.

Seeing Ye Haochuan puzzled, the Medicine King laughed and explained: "In the past, the Hua Clan had seven Divine Monarchs, each possessing extraordinary power. The Supreme Divine Monarch was renowned for the Alchemy Dao, even creating an unparalleled Divine Pill beyond the rules of Hongmeng. In the realm of Alchemy, he is unmatched."

While explaining, his eyes radiated beams of reverence.

Actually, Ye Haochuan did not know that the Supreme Divine Monarch had always been the Medicine King’s idol, even his aspiration towards the ultimate Path of Medicine stemmed from the Supreme Divine Monarch’s influence.

"You young fellow, you’re really blessed with great fortune! To acquire such a Supreme Treasure makes even a dead old man like me envious. I initially planned to give you a Pill Furnace, but now it seems like I’d be embarrassing myself before an expert."

After his enthusiastic lecture, the Medicine King finally returned to the serious topic, saying respectfully, "You must strive to excel in the Alchemy Dao, not only for your master but also to keep this Pill Furnace from degradation, understand?"

Ye Haochuan nodded solemnly, his mind surging continuously.

He never expected the Pill Furnace given by Ming Lang would have such a mighty background. No wonder he felt no bottleneck while using it for Alchemy; the Furnace was simply overpowering.

"With the Supreme Divine Monarch’s Pill Furnace, anyone daring to challenge me in a Pill Duel, shall face utter defeat!" Ye Haochuan chuckled inwardly, feeling quite proud.

With this done, the Medicine King’s shadow suddenly dimmed, dispersing into a wisp of blue smoke which drifted back into the mural’s eyes.

"Master, are you... leaving?" Ye Haochuan panicked and called out hastily.

As his voice faded, the mural’s right eyebead suddenly rolled down.

Ye Haochuan hurried to catch it but discovered the brown stone sphere was surprisingly heavy.

"My remaining consciousness resides within this stone sphere and can live on for a few years. If you have any queries about the Medical Path, you may consult through the stone sphere. I hope to witness your achievements in the Medical Path within my remaining years, then I can rest in peace!" The Medicine King’s aged voice drifted from the stone sphere.

Ye Haochuan’s eyes suddenly filled with mist, his heart deeply moved.

Residual consciousness differs from residual soul, which may recover through soul nurturing. The Medicine King was destined not to revive, yet he used his last remaining efforts to aid his disciple; this kindness is deserving of reverence.
