Invincible Little School Doctor Chapter 2454: Which One Is It?
Previously on Invincible Little School Doctor...
The Central Peak Treasure Vault is located at the mountainside of Central Peak.
This is a mysterious cave dwelling. On the outside, it appears unremarkable.
However, the moment he stepped into the cave dwelling, he felt his connection to the Minor World was interrupted.
Even though the Taichi Pearl had warned him beforehand, Ye Haochuan still felt a sudden drop in his heart.
The Minor World was his most trusted escape method, always effective, but now it suddenly failed, making him feel his chance of escaping greatly diminished.
Now, he could only hope to quietly steal the Diagram of the Two Instruments and Four Images. As long as he stepped out of this cave dwelling, he could easily escape.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Haochuan then strode towards the depths of the cave dwelling.
The environment of this cave dwelling has nothing noteworthy, looking like a rough mineshaft.
After a few minutes, Ye Haochuan arrived at a huge iron door.
The iron door bore a powerful sealing force. Just this force alone was enough to make Ye Haochuan feel intimidated.
"Who are you, and what is your business here?"
An elderly voice echoed in the cave dwelling.
Ye Haochuan hurriedly adopted a respectful posture and said, "Senior, I am Fang Hai, a disciple of West Peak. Luckily, I’ve gathered a million contribution points and wish to enter the treasure vault to seek fortune. Please grant me access, senior."
"A million contribution points?"
A ghostly figure suddenly appeared before Ye Haochuan.
This was an emaciated old man, as thin as bones, emitting an aura of death all over and chilling to the bone, making one shiver.
Ye Haochuan didn’t disguise the fear in his eyes, subconsciously stepping back a few paces.
The old man seemed accustomed to this reaction. On the contrary, if an Early Stage Void God cultivator came and showed no fear, he would find it strange.
"It’s been a long time since someone gathered a million contribution points. I didn’t expect the one who came this time to be such a young junior."
The old man’s voice was hoarse, and his cackling laughter raised goosebumps.
"I was just lucky. The target I was chasing was a Mysterious Pill Grandmaster, and I gained quite a few Top-Grade Pills; otherwise, I wouldn’t have gathered so many contribution points so quickly."
Ye Haochuan half-truthfully explained, fearing the old man would suspect him and deny him entry to the treasure vault.
The old man said no more, only cackling as he raised his hand, causing the huge door to slowly open.
Damn it, did this old monster discover something?
Ye Haochuan’s spine felt a chill. He always felt that there was a hidden meaning in the old man’s laughter.
If he could, he would turn and flee directly.
The Diagram of the Two Instruments and Four Images is indeed important, but his life is even more so!
But he also knew if he fled now, it would only solidify his guilty conscience, and with the South Sect’s upper echelons, they might kill him without asking for explanations.
Helpless, Ye Haochuan could only brace himself and walk into the big door.
Inside the big door was a different world.
In the spacious cave dwelling, countless egg-sized light balls floated in mid-air like stars.
Ye Haochuan scanned with his Divine Sense, instantly discovering a few light balls containing some Peak Quasi-Divine Instruments or Peak Quasi-Divine Methods quietly.
Among the densely packed light orbs, not a single Mortal Grade item could be found.
Who would have thought that outside experts who might have never seen Peak Quasi-God Level Techniques and Magical Treasures would find them littered here like common weeds?
Seeing these treasures, it would be impossible for Ye Haochuan not to be tempted.
Several times, he almost couldn’t resist grabbing a Peak Quasi-Divine Method and walking away.
"Perhaps, I shouldn’t rush to steal the Diagram of the Two Instruments and Four Images this time. Maybe I should take a Super Treasure back first?"
Ye Haochuan’s resolve wavered: "Anyway, earning contribution points is easy for me. Acquiring more good things first to arm myself might increase my chance of successfully stealing the Diagram of the Two Instruments and Four Images later, wouldn’t it?"
"What an ignorant creature!"
The scornful voice of the Taichi Pearl suddenly echoed in his mind.
"What do you mean, ignorant? These are rarely seen Super Treasures. Who wouldn’t be tempted upon seeing them?" Ye Haochuan retorted unhappily.
"The Taichi Power I gave you is genuine Divine Law. It’s far better than these things, are you kidding?" Taichi Pearl said crossly.
"Divine Law, are they that powerful?" Ye Haochuan was skeptical.
"If it wasn’t Divine Law, do you think just by barely scratching the surface, you could easily defeat a Peak Void God expert?"
"Barely scratching the surface?"
Ye Haochuan was dumbfounded.
If during the confrontation with Zhang Dajiang he merely applied a tiny portion of Taichi Power, what would it be like once Taichi Power was fully mastered?
Ye Haochuan was skeptical but somewhat resisted the temptation of these Super Treasures.
"With so many things, where exactly is the Diagram of the Two Instruments and Four Images?"
Looking at the densely packed myriad of light balls, Ye Haochuan finally understood why Zhao Mingyang didn’t find the Diagram of the Two Instruments and Four Images twice.
Even though Divine Sense’s utility is faster than searching one by one with eyes, it’s still akin to looking for a needle in a haystack.
Although the old man didn’t say much, Zhao Mingyang once told him this Central Peak Treasure Vault permits each cultivator only one minute inside.
Within one minute, if they don’t obtain what they want, they will be directly thrown out, without gaining anything, and the million contribution points won’t be refunded.
Countless people protested this tyrannical rule.
But the South Sect remained indifferent, with a "come or not, I don’t care" attitude.
Yet, how could South Sect cultivators resist the allure of Super Treasures?
Many spent their entire lives accumulating contribution points just to one day obtain a Super Treasure in the Central Peak Treasure Vault and soar to new heights.
Time was truly scarce. Since entering, blinded by the allure of Magical Treasures, Ye Haochuan had unnoticedly spent three to four dozen seconds.
In the following twenty or so seconds, if he doesn’t find the Diagram of the Two Instruments and Four Images, this operation will have truly failed.
"Damn it, this task is just a big trap!"
His anxiety peaked as another ten seconds passed, and Ye Haochuan began cursing.
Finding the Diagram of the Two Instruments and Four Images among so many treasures in such a short time is simply an impossible task.
As he was near desperation, Taichi Pearl’s voice suddenly spoke.
"On the left front, hurry!"
Ye Haochuan froze abruptly, without time to ask why, as even asking would take too much time.
With wind under his feet, the Ghostly Thunder Escape Art propelled him swiftly towards the left front.
"Ten meters ahead, I sense the aura of the Diagram of the Two Instruments and Four Images!" Taichi Pearl’s voice was urgent.
Ye Haochuan instantly appeared at the position stated by Taichi Pearl, but he was stunned.
"There are three or four here; which one exactly are you referring to?" Ye Haochuan asked urgently.
"It’s..."
As Taichi Pearl was about to speak, Ye Haochuan suddenly felt a pulling force, aiming to yank him out.
"Damn it, there are two or three seconds remaining, but suddenly..."
Ye Haochuan had no time to think further. Trusting his instincts, he grabbed one of the light balls.
The next moment, he found himself outside the big door.
To his surprise, standing before him was none other than the West Peak’s Seat Holder, Yuan Deyi!
