Invincible Little School Doctor Chapter 2345: You Know Your Hands Can’t Replace Me Anymore?

"By the way, Old Xu, from now on you’re the new Squad Thirteen Squad Leader!" Before leaving, Ye Haochuan suddenly said to Xu Deyuan.

"Me, a Squad Leader?"

Xu Deyuan was utterly stunned. He said in confusion, "Don’t joke around. If I become Squad Leader, what will you be?"

"You still don’t know, huh? Boss is already a Deputy Manager."

Before Ye Haochuan could explain, Xiong Hong had already helped him out.

"And that’s not all. He’s also gotten the trial qualification for Official Disciples. Who knows, in a month he might become an Official Disciple and leave our Spirit Meal Room!"

Hua Biqiao chimed in, envy in her eyes.

"How’s that possible?" Xu Deyuan simply couldn’t believe his ears.

He’d only been gone for a short while, so why did it feel like the world had turned upside down?

Trial qualification for Official Disciples?

He’d been stuck in the Spirit Meal Room for over ten years and had never even seen a trial’s shadow. Yet Ye Haochuan had only been here for half a day and already got it?

Damn, comparing people really just pisses you off!

No one is willing to be mediocre, and Xu Deyuan was no exception.

But soon, that sense of imbalance was replaced by gratitude.

He’d been grinding for ten years and never made Squad Leader. Now with just one word from Ye Haochuan, he’d been promoted.

And he felt that as long as he followed Ye Haochuan, he’d definitely keep climbing step by step. Because this guy was just too unbelievable.

"Do a good job. I’ve got high hopes for you!" Ye Haochuan gave Xu Deyuan a timely bit of encouragement.

"I guarantee I’ll complete the mission!" Xu Deyuan said solemnly, his heart surging.

What the hell, why does this feel like he’s about to march off to die gloriously?

Ye Haochuan couldn’t help grumbling inwardly.

Leaving Squad Thirteen’s Pot Stove Room, Ye Haochuan followed the direction Xu Deyuan had pointed and headed toward the Medicine Warehouse.

The Medicine Warehouse wasn’t far from the Spirit Meal Room and was a department under the Pill Pavilion.

In the South Sect, aside from cultivating disciples, things were broadly divided into three parts: the Law Enforcement Hall, the Service Hall, and the Miscellaneous Hall, which handled the various affairs within the sect.

The Pill Pavilion and the Artifact Pavilion were essentially independent of all these organizations, with exalted status, located on Central Peak, and hadn’t set up branches on the Four Peaks.

If Official Disciples wanted any Pill or a forged Magical Treasure, they had to go to the Pill Pavilion and exchange Contribution Points. If they wanted a Pill Master from the Pill Pavilion to help them, they also had to pay quite a lot of Contribution Points as the price.

The reason the Medicine Warehouse was split across the Four Peaks was to better collect resources.

Each peak oversaw a different region, and the medicinal herbs produced there differed somewhat.

After these herbs were gathered by disciples and brought back to their respective peaks, they’d be screened by a specialist. The best herbs and those urgently needed by the Pill Pavilion would be sent up to the Pill Pavilion, while the rest could be used to refine that peak’s Spirit Meals.

Obviously, Yin Xirou was that "specialist."

As the only Pill Master on West Peak, Yin Xirou’s status was self-evident.

Ye Haochuan soon arrived outside the Medicine Warehouse and, from a distance, saw people from the various Pot Stove Rooms all lined up here to receive herbs.

Ye Haochuan now counted as a basic-level cadre at least. When people from District C saw him arrive, they all greeted him and obediently let Ye Haochuan cut to the front.

The one handing out herbs was an old man with a snowy white head of hair. Ye Haochuan originally wanted to ask him where Yin Xirou was, when he suddenly heard a thunderous boom.

"Pill Explosion?"

Ye Haochuan’s Alchemy level was not low, so of course he could easily recognize the distinct sound of a Pill Explosion.

Well then, no need to ask. There was only one Mysterious Pill Master on West Peak—Yin Xirou. The pill was obviously hers that had blown up.

Ye Haochuan walked a short way toward the source of the explosion and soon saw a delicate standalone house. On Earth, this would absolutely be a little villa only the rich could afford.

Ye Haochuan knocked on the door. Not long after, the door opened, and Yin Xirou’s well-proportioned, enticing figure appeared.

She looked quite different from when he’d seen her not long ago. Right now she was a mess, clothes slightly disheveled, face somewhat blackened. Clearly, after that Pill Explosion, she hadn’t yet had time to clean up.

"What is it?"

When Yin Xirou saw that it was Ye Haochuan, a trace of smugness flashed in her eyes, but her mouth was still icy cold.

You’re not so arrogant now, are you? In the end you still came begging to me.

The reason she’d cut off Squad Thirteen’s herbs wasn’t to kill Ye Haochuan and the others. To kill a small Squad Leader, she didn’t need to go to such trouble.

What she wanted was to force Ye Haochuan to come beg her, then make him hand over that so-called secret recipe.

On a normal day, she definitely wouldn’t resort to something so low. But today, she felt completely justified in doing it.

"A secret recipe that can turn Spirit Meals into something with two-grade Mysterious Pill efficacy—I have to have it!"

Yin Xirou silently firmed up her resolve once more.

Her Alchemy had been stuck at the Mysterious Pill Master level for years, with no way to break through to Mysterious Pill Grandmaster.

She felt that this secret recipe was her chance. As long as she could get the recipe in Ye Haochuan’s hands, she’d definitely be able to break through.

"Me, I usually have nothing better to do, so I love lending a helping hand. My sixth sense tells me, beauty, that you need me."

Ye Haochuan didn’t mention herbs at all; instead he spoke with a grin.

Yin Xirou didn’t hear what she wanted to hear. She was slightly startled, and only after a long moment did her pretty face flush red as she snapped, "Shameless scoundrel, who needs you? Hurry up and get lost!"

"You sure you really don’t need me?"

Ye Haochuan curled his lip. "You’d better think this through. A man as handsome and overwhelming as me, carrying a mighty ’weapon’—you’re not going to find another one so easily. Miss this village, and there’s no such shop down the road!"

"Pervert!"

Feeling the teasing in Ye Haochuan’s words, Yin Xirou ground her teeth, clenching her small fists as she said hatefully, "Get lost, or don’t blame this young lady for being rude!"

Yin Xirou’s strength was impressive; she seemed to have already broken through to Void God. As she spoke, the aura spilling from her body was enough to inspire fear.

"Alright, alright. Since you insist on using your own two hands to fulfill your dreams, I won’t force you."

Ye Haochuan chuckled and turned to leave.

Yin Xirou glared at him fiercely, then slammed the door shut.

She’d originally thought that when Ye Haochuan came, he’d beg her to send him herbs. That way she could bargain with him and make him hand over the secret recipe.

Who could’ve guessed that not only did Ye Haochuan not mention herbs at all, he even had the nerve to flirt with her. It was truly infuriating.

Just as she was stewing in anger, she suddenly heard Ye Haochuan’s distant sigh outside the door.

"What a wasteful woman. The herbs for Gathering Yuan Pills are so precious, and she keeps blowing them to scraps over and over!"

"Bastard, you’re the wastefu..."

Yin Xirou almost choked on her own rage. But halfway through her words, she suddenly froze. "How does he know I’m refining Gathering Yuan Pills?"

Yin Xirou thought back and confirmed that she hadn’t said a single word to Ye Haochuan about what she was refining.

"Could he also be a Mysterious Pill Master?"

Yin Xirou was startled by her own guess.

But thinking it over carefully, it really wasn’t impossible. That guy could boost Spirit Meal efficacy to that level; he might really have some techniques in Alchemy.

"Wait up!"

Yin Xirou could no longer hold herself back. She opened the door and called out to Ye Haochuan.

"What, you’ve realized your hands can’t replace me?"

Ye Haochuan said with a weird grin, "I knew it. You’re a smart one—how could you abandon the root for the branch and not choose yours truly? Heh heh!"
