Invincible Little School Doctor Chapter 2360: Striking It Rich!
Previously on Invincible Little School Doctor...
The sudden voice didn’t deliberately emphasize the tone, it felt as if it was taken for granted.
Ye Haochuan didn’t need to turn around to know that this person was one of the three True Immortal Peak Cultivators who teamed up with him, named Fang Hai.
"I’m officially a disciple now, does that mean I can be killed just like that?"
Ye Haochuan asked with great interest.
"Fool, do you think becoming an official disciple means everything is fine?"
Fang Hai sneered, "That’s right, when you’re in the South Sect, your death might attract the investigation of the Law Enforcement Hall, but now that you’re outside, and in the perilous Fury Flame Wasteland Sea, who knows if you died at someone else’s hands or accidentally got burned to death by the flame?"
"I see!"
Ye Haochuan was somewhat thoughtful and did not say much.
Fang Hai saw that Ye Haochuan seemed to have understood and laughed out loud before choosing a direction and rushing out.
Ye Haochuan noticed that besides him, the other True Immortal Late Stage cultivators all looked a bit grim, obviously having been extorted like him.
"Five Desolate Fire Essence Stones, considering the production rate here, not to mention one day, even two days might not be enough to gather them!" someone complained bitterly.
Another person shook his head helplessly and sighed, "Let’s do our best to find them, under the eaves, one has to bow, who can blame them for having higher cultivation?"
The law of the jungle applies everywhere, it’s the survival rule.
Ye Haochuan originally thought that in high places like the temple, such struggles wouldn’t be so obvious, but he didn’t expect the battles here to be even more ruthless than outside.
He sighed and ignored these people, heading deeper into the Fury Flame Wasteland Sea.
"Is that guy crazy, heading further inside? The power of the flame increases drastically, even Void God cultivators can’t bear it; is he going to his death?"
"Who knows? Maybe he’s so humiliated that he wishes for death?"
"Must be a reckless one, not knowing the perils inside?"
"Why bother with him, the Desolate Fire Crystal Stones here on the periphery are limited, with him gone, we can find a few more pieces."
A few people let out a few mocking laughs, but none warned Ye Haochuan.
Ye Haochuan indeed didn’t know how dangerous the Fury Flame Wasteland Sea was, but he wasn’t naively walking in. Since the Mystic Yellow Meteoric Flame could wound Elder Nangong, how could he underestimate it?
He dared to march in so boldly because he had his reliance.
Unlike the periphery with only heat waves, within the true scope of the Fury Flame Wasteland Sea, layers of heat waves converged and started to form clumps of earth-yellow flames.
The further in, the denser the flames, and inside, it became an endless sea of fire, burning everything to ashes.
The Fury Flame Wasteland Sea got its name from this.
Ye Haochuan had just stepped into the outer layer of the Fury Flame Wasteland Sea when his clothes were instantly turned to ash.
He quickly summoned Flower Energy, forming a barrier around him to block the external heat.
Who knew, as soon as Flower Energy was summoned, a few pale yellow flames surged towards him like ravenous beasts seeing food, burning fiercely around him.
That layer of Flower Energy barrier not only failed to isolate the flames but instead became nourishment for the fire, fueling it to burn even more fiercely.
What a strange flame!
Ye Haochuan’s heart tightened.
He finally understood why even Void God cultivators dared not enter here carelessly; without special protection, relying solely on Defensive Techniques, one would die horribly here.
After all, Defensive Techniques are constructed with Flower Energy, and in this strange flame, it’s like adding fuel to the fire.
Ye Haochuan’s heart was tense, but he didn’t use other defensive methods, just quietly waited for the pale yellow flame to burn through the barrier and onto his body.
For a moment, the intense burning pain made Ye Haochuan grimace.
However, astonishingly, the powerful flame only managed to scorch Ye Haochuan’s skin without inflicting further harm.
As for the scorch marks, they were completely healed after Ye Haochuan secretly utilized his Dragon Origin Essence Qi.
Whew~
Ye Haochuan let out a long breath, secretly pleased that he indeed had a chance.
His trump card was the extraordinarily strong flesh tempered in Ming Quan, and the powerful recovery ability of Dragon Origin Essence Qi, and it seemed he had made the right bet.
The abnormality of this flame was entirely due to its restraint on the cultivator’s Flower Energy, leaving cultivators with limited means to enter.
In terms of power, this flame was no match for an ordinary strike from a True Immortal Late Stage cultivator.
Having eliminated the threat of the flame, Ye Haochuan dared not delay and quickly quickened his pace, continuing to rush inside.
"Huh, is this... a Desolate Fire Crystal Stone?"
Not far ahead, Ye Haochuan suddenly felt he stepped on a hard object, and upon looking down, found it was a piece of yellow metal stone emitting heat.
"Wow, there are quite a few of them!"
Ye Haochuan looked around and found two or three more within eyesight.
"Is this thing so prolific?"
Ye Haochuan was rather curious, considering each stone traded for one contribution point; over ten were equivalent to the task of acquiring the Spirit Core of a True Immortal Peak Demon Beast, they shouldn’t be this common, right?
If they were that common, who would hunt for Spirit Cores? Everyone would just come here to pick up Desolate Fire Crystal Stones, right?
After a moment of thought, he suddenly realized.
This area was truly enveloped by the Fury Flame Wasteland Sea, with Desolate Fire Crystal Stones being refined by these flames, naturally the closer to the center, the more prolific they became.
And those cultivators taking on the Desolate Fire Crystal Stone tasks didn’t dare venture in due to lacking an extraordinary body defense like Ye Haochuan’s, allowing the stones to accumulate over the years, hence their abundance.
"Haha, I’m rich now!"
Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but laugh heartily.
Outside, it might take one or two days to collect five Desolate Fire Crystal Stones, but here, considering the density, collecting dozens to hundreds in a day wasn’t out of the question.
A hundred Desolate Fire Crystal Stones equaled a hundred contribution points; although insignificant compared to a million, it was a good start, right?
After roughly half an hour of travel, Ye Haochuan was completely engulfed in the sea of fire.
Along the way, he had collected one hundred and thirty Desolate Fire Crystal Stones, almost making him laugh his mouth off.
The fire’s power increased significantly, and Ye Haochuan’s injuries started to accumulate, forcing him to increase the circulation of Dragon Origin Essence Qi.
Everything around was obscured by the flames, blocking the vision. Even the Divine Sense seemed to burn and distort in the blaze, sensing nothing.
"Heavenly Eye, open!"
Ye Haochuan opened the Heavenly Eye, and the flames around him finally faded, restoring his vision.
"Huh, there’re actually people?"
Ye Haochuan suddenly noticed two figures moving slowly in the distance, sparking his curiosity.
These two weren’t picking up the Desolate Fire Crystal Stones on the ground, clearly not here for them. But in the Fury Flame Wasteland Sea, besides the stones, there was nothing of value!
"No, there is one other valuable thing!"
Ye Haochuan suddenly realized, "The most precious in the Fury Flame Wasteland Sea isn’t these stones worth one contribution point each, but the Mystic Yellow Meteoric Flame! These two are here for the Mystic Yellow Meteoric Flame too?"
With this thought, Ye Haochuan’s heart sank.
