Invincible Little School Doctor Chapter 2526: Aren’t You Celebrating Too Soon?
Previously on Invincible Little School Doctor...
Shentu Fu clenched his teeth, but was helpless.
With Xu Yuanba present, even if he wanted to risk everything to rescue Ye Haochuan, there was absolutely no chance of success.
At this moment, Ye Haochuan, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up.
"Speaking of which, it seems like I’m the main character here, right? You didn’t even ask for my opinion and just made decisions on my behalf. Isn’t that a bit disrespectful to my rights?"
"You?"
After sizing up Ye Haochuan, Xu Yuanba snorted coldly, "Here, you don’t get to speak. Do you think you can defy the decision we’ve made?"
Beside him, Baili Jin and Geng Tianhe looked at Ye Haochuan with somewhat guilty eyes, but showed no intention of speaking on his behalf.
For different reasons, both seemed to consider Ye Haochuan as family, yet regarding crucial matters of family survival, they dared not act on selfish emotions.
Xu Yuanba had a point; they truly didn’t have time.
From the performance of the temple this time, fully tearing faces with them was already close at hand. At this moment, they couldn’t allow any kindness.
Perhaps even if Ye Haochuan were their own child, they’d have to harden their hearts and send him into danger now.
"Defy? What a joke!"
Ye Haochuan chuckled lightly, "Go ahead, tell me, why should I listen to you?"
"Aren’t you afraid of dying?"
Xu Yuanba’s half-narrowed eyes emitted a cold, murderous intent.
"Of course I’m afraid of dying! But I don’t think you dare to kill me!"
Ye Haochuan stared at Xu Yuanba without any fear.
"Are you saying I don’t dare?"
Xu Yuanba’s figure flashed and suddenly appeared in front of Ye Haochuan, grabbing his neck and lifting him entirely.
"Stop!"
Shentu Fu was instantly anxious, rushing forward to rescue Ye Haochuan.
However, with a cold snort from Xu Yuanba, a golden light shot from his eyes, instantly forcing Shentu Fu back.
Though Shentu Fu was also a God Lord Realm expert, compared to the patriarch of the Xu family, he clearly fell short by more than a bit.
"Haochuan!"
Shentu Fu was extremely anxious, fearing Xu Yuanba might really crush Ye Haochuan to death in a fit of rage.
"Rest assured, he wouldn’t dare kill me!"
Ye Haochuan spoke with difficulty but remained exceptionally calm, saying word by word, "Because, I’m the heir of the Medicine King!"
"What?"
Everyone felt their heads buzzing; even Baili Jin and Geng Tianhe stood up from their chairs.
If what Ye Haochuan said was true, then the illness of the Ancestor of the Xu Family might be cured, eliminating the need to pressure Ye Haochuan.
Xu Yuanba’s grip suddenly tightened again, his half-narrowed eyes sizing up Ye Haochuan, coldly snorting, "Do you think you can fool me with a random lie? The Medicine King has been dead for hundreds of years; how could he have a disciple as young as you?"
"If you don’t believe it, just kill me!" Ye Haochuan couldn’t be bothered to explain.
"Do you really think I wouldn’t dare?"
Xu Yuanba was infuriated, suddenly snorting.
"No way!"
Baili Jin and Geng Tianhe almost simultaneously rushed over, stopping Xu Yuanba’s actions.
For the sake of their family’s interests, they might not care about Ye Haochuan, but if there was another choice, they certainly wouldn’t let Ye Haochuan die inexplicably.
"What do you mean by this?" Xu Yuanba asked indignantly with a cold snort.
"Patriarch Xu, if he really is a disciple of the Medicine King, killing him would cut off your Ancestor’s vitality," Baili Jin reminded.
"Have the two of you lost your minds? An immature child can’t possibly be a disciple of the Medicine King. Even if he has some inheritance, what level of medical skill could he have?"
Considering the identities of Baili Jin and Geng Tianhe, Xu Yuanba tried to speak politely.
"Whether or not, a test will suffice. Why rush things now, Patriarch Xu?" Geng Tianhe also advised.
Xu Yuanba was left speechless, tossing Ye Haochuan to the ground, snorting, "Fine, I’ll give the two of you this face today. If it turns out this kid is lying, please don’t stop me from tearing him apart!"
Ye Haochuan coughed a couple of times holding his throat, then directly took out the Five Dragon Divine Monarch Cauldron from his ring, preparing to perform alchemy.
Even though Baili Jin and Geng Tianhe had saved Ye Haochuan, they were still doubtful about what he’d claimed.
But now seeing Ye Haochuan skillfully performing alchemy, they developed a deep belief in him.
As for Xu Yuanba, his brow slightly furrowed.
He wasn’t afraid of being proven wrong; after all, if Ye Haochuan truly had skills, the beneficiary would be the Ancestor of the Xu Family.
But such a young guy, could he really have achievements in the Medical Path?
Impossible, he must be bluffing.
In the Immortal Realm, Medical Path is the hardest to cultivate. Even a Mysterious Pill Grandmaster typically has been exploring it for hundreds of years.
Ye Haochuan, not even thirty, might know some medical skills, but certainly just superficially.
Securing this belief, no matter how skillfully Ye Haochuan maneuvered, Xu Yuanba remained convinced it was all show.
"Go ahead and continue acting; once you slip up, let’s see who can save you then!"
Xu Yuanba coldly said to himself.
Time ticked by, and before long, several medicinal herbs were fully extracted for their essence charm, filling the air with a strong fragrance.
Everyone in the hall began to hold their breath.
More than half of them shared Xu Yuanba’s mindset, but with the increasingly intense aroma, they suddenly began to waver.
Finally, the pill furnace opened, and after Ye Haochuan skillfully executed the Pill Collection Technique, six fragrant pills were collected into his hand.
"This is... the Three-stripe Green Spirit Pill? It’s a Third-grade Peak Mysterious Pill—how could it be so effortlessly crafted, and with six pills in one attempt?"
Geng Tianhe, having lived for thousands of years and witnessed countless wonders, still couldn’t hide his shock.
Not just him, everyone’s gaze was fixed intently on the pills in Ye Haochuan’s hand.
They kept reminding themselves that this had to be fake; such events couldn’t happen.
Though merely a Third-grade Peak, those able to craft such a pill in the world could be counted on one hand.
As for producing six pills in one furnace, even a Divine Pill Master wouldn’t dare claim such ability.
In the entire Immortal Realm, the number of Divine Pill Masters wouldn’t exceed a handful, already the pride of the entire medical realm.
"Impossible! This is impossible!"
Xu Yuanba didn’t know how long he was stunned before reaffirming his belief with a vehement shout.
"If you still don’t believe it, feel free to take one and try!"
Ye Haochuan didn’t explain, directly tossing a pill to him.
Xu Yuanba was also extremely shocked, swallowed the pill without hesitation; if Ye Haochuan intended to harm him with a poison pill now, he would have to face a life-threatening crisis.
As the pill entered his stomach, a wave of ample flower energy spread, instantly refreshing him.
Although this Third-grade Mysterious Pill had limited efficacy for a God Lord Realm cultivator like him, it surely confirmed the pill was a genuine Three-stripe Green Spirit Pill.
"Wonderful! My family ancestor is saved!"
Xu Yuanba was overwhelmed with joy, seemingly forgetting his prior aggressiveness.
"Patriarch Xu, aren’t you celebrating a bit too early?"
Ye Haochuan suddenly coldly remarked, "I never said I would save your family ancestor!"
