Invincible Little School Doctor Chapter 2277: Could It Be Too Precious?
Previously on Invincible Little School Doctor...
"I think it’s best if everyone takes a step back, just as a favor to me, what do you say?" Although Zhu Kuang sided with Ye Haochuan, he did not want to offend the Danxi Alliance, so he tried to smooth things over.
Senior Fang saw that Zhu Kuang had offered a way out, and he did not act arrogantly. In a cold tone, he said, "Alchemy has been my greatest pursuit and achievement in life. Anyone who tries to force me to give it up, I’ll fight them to the death!"
"Naturally, you can’t be forced to abandon alchemy. Mysterious Pill Grandmasters are exceedingly rare in this world. If someone like you is lost, it would be a tremendous loss to the entire Immortal Realm!"
Zhu Kuang said courteously, "However, you still lost this contest. It wouldn’t be reasonable if you don’t offer anything in return, would it?"
After speaking, Zhu Kuang gave Ye Haochuan a look.
Ye Haochuan caught on with a smile, his expression softening as he said, "Lord Prefecture is right. If Senior Fang could offer a passable Magical Treasure as compensation, I’d be willing to take a step back, how about it?"
Ye Haochuan was not afraid of the pressure from Senior Fang or Zhu Kuang, but he had another consideration.
Whether Senior Fang gives up alchemy truly doesn’t matter to him. His previous anger was because he thought the wager was proposed by Senior Fang. Now that he’s clear on the situation, there’s no need to be merciless.
Moreover, isn’t there a benefit to be gained?
Senior Fang’s expression relaxed considerably upon hearing Ye Haochuan’s words. He searched in his ring for a while before finally taking out three arrow-shaped Magical Treasures and said to Ye Haochuan, "Previously when doing alchemy with someone, I was given these three Soul Chasing Arrows. Each arrow can unleash the full-force strike of a True Immortal Peak master. However, they are consumables; one less with each use..."
Perhaps out of gratitude for Ye Haochuan not continuing to pressure him, Senior Fang’s voice suddenly seemed more kindly.
Upon seeing these three Soul Chasing Arrows, both Ye Haochuan and Zhu Kuang broke into a cold sweat.
My god, a full-force strike from a True Immortal Peak; how powerful must that be? If Senior Fang had used them earlier, the two of them would surely have perished here.
The two privately felt fortunate they hadn’t truly pressed Senior Fang into a corner, otherwise, they’d find no remedy for their regret.
Actually, they didn’t know that Senior Fang also had his own concerns. No matter what, Zhu Kuang was the Prefecture Master of one territory. He wasn’t someone who could be killed on a whim.
"Isn’t this... too valuable?" Ye Haochuan said instinctively.
Once the words left his mouth, he wanted to smack himself. Fool, not accepting gifts, what an idiot!
Fortunately, Senior Fang cared about his dignity; having already offered the items, he didn’t intend to take them back, simply saying with calmness, "Is my life not worth these few one-time Magical Treasures?"
Such prideful words, yet Ye Haochuan didn’t feel slighted. Instead, he felt like rushing up to hug and kiss this old fellow.
The old fellow was indeed a bit arrogant, but still quite righteous.
Ye Haochuan immediately stopped dithering and quickly accepted the three Soul Chasing Arrows, clasping his fists in thanks.
Senior Fang nodded slightly and said softly, "You’re so young yet possess such high alchemical skills, it’s truly admirable. If there’s a chance in the future, I must learn from you."
These weren’t just courteous words. As much as he hated to admit it, from the earlier contest, he was genuinely convinced. A single furnace yielded six pills, with three at the Spirit Level; this record is virtually unmatched even within the entire Danxi Alliance!
If today wasn’t so utterly embarrassing, he’d pull Ye Haochuan aside now to thoroughly discuss his confusions.
"Definitely!"
You give me an inch, I’ll give you a foot. Having accepted the benefits, Ye Haochuan would certainly not embarrass the other party.
After speaking, Senior Fang handed over a token to Ye Haochuan and said, "Although my Fang Family is not a major clan, we do hold some power. If you come to Qingfeng City, you can use this token to find me!"
Handing over the token, Senior Fang didn’t delay further, disappearing into the sky.
Ye Haochuan accepted the token and bowed to Zhu Kuang, saying, "Thank you, Mansion Lord Zhu, for your assistance. I will remember this favor!"
Zhu Kuang’s lips twitched slightly, giving a gentle nod.
Ye Haochuan didn’t think much of it, believing Zhu Kuang helped him solely because of Shentu Fu, unaware that Zhu Kuang was entirely acting for his own son.
"By the way, I need Mansion Lord Zhu to oversee this wager fairly!" Ye Haochuan laughed once more.
Zhu Kuang was taken aback, feeling a surge of emotion in his heart.
The wager this time was truly ruthless, not only affecting the Li Family but also leaving the Bao Family and Gou Family thoroughly defeated.
These were two giants of Qianyun City, toppled so spectacularly! Imagine the immense upheaval coming to Qianyun City in the next while.
Considering this, Zhu Kuang cast a significant glance at Ye Haochuan.
If earlier, Zhu Shen’s claim about Gu Family’s downfall being connected to Ye Haochuan was something he believed just because his son said so, now he was utterly convinced. Ye Haochuan really knew how to stir things up.
How long has he been in Qianyun City? Yet he cleaned up half of Qianyun City’s pillars, leaving not even bones behind, truly terrifying.
"Shen’er’s judgment is indeed spot on!"
With a sigh, Zhu Kuang smiled and said to Ye Haochuan, "Rest assured, since I’m overseeing the Pill Duel Competition, it will naturally remain fair and just."
With that said, he summoned Zhu Shen, instructing the Zhu Family experts to go with the Ye Family people to fulfill the wager.
By this time, the Bagui Family and Gou Family heads were awash with regret, seeking Zhu Kuang to plead, hoping he’d show leniency.
However, Zhu Kuang was resolute in helping Ye Haochuan, giving them no face and firmly rejecting their pleas.
The heads of the two families then came to Ye Haochuan, who was not a person of mercy and couldn’t be bothered with them. Leaving those families alive would be sowing the seeds of disaster for the Ye Family, and he wasn’t foolish.
Suddenly, the surrounding spectators sighed in amazement.
Who could have imagined that this seemingly predictable Pill Duel Contest would flip so dramatically, felling Qianyun City’s two towering giants?
As for Li Ding, he had fainted by this point, utterly unable to comprehend the treatment he was receiving.
Truly, if you don’t provoke, you don’t perish. If he hadn’t initially flaunted arrogantly, insisting Ling Zhixing bet the entire Ye Family, how could Ye Haochuan have wagered his life?
Ye Haochuan had no time for this little ant, leaving it to Ling Zhixing to handle.
The spectators, seeing the curtain drop on the drama, began to prepare to return to their homes.
Yet, at this moment, a massive dark cloud suddenly rolled in from afar, swiftly spreading an immense pressure as if black clouds were pressing down overhead.
