Invincible Little School Doctor Chapter 2548: You Really Let Me Down!

One plant, two plants… ninety, one hundred… two hundred… one thousand…

Ye Haochuan was completely immersed in gathering herbs, as for the supposed restriction of one hundred plants, he had long forgotten about it.

“Bold little thief, how dare you steal so many herbs, you’ve committed a crime punishable by death, surrender at once!”

Suddenly, a loud shout startled Ye Haochuan out of his herb gathering.

Ye Haochuan turned around and realized that he had unknowingly traveled over ten miles.

The path he traveled could be described as barren, with not a single blade of grass remaining.

Based on quantity alone, there were far more than a hundred herbs here, exceeding a thousand without a doubt.

Beside him, Shentu Fu showed a hint of embarrassment, as he too had become so engrossed in gathering herbs that he hadn’t realized they’d gone so far over the limit.

There was no helping it; the herbs here were simply too abundant and excellent, even someone as experienced as him couldn’t resist the temptation.

In front of them now was an inspection team led by a Demi-God Cultivator.

If it came to a fight, this group wouldn’t stand a chance against them, but being on Netherworld Mountain, if they really made a move, several God Lord Realm experts from outside would rush in immediately.

By then, even with Shentu Fu’s presence, they would be surrounded and killed.

“Kid, you blew it, what do we do now?”

Shentu Fu asked anxiously, using divine sense to communicate.

Ye Haochuan smirked with a meaningful curve on his lips, not only was he not worried, he even showed an arrogant demeanor, “What are you doing? Do you know who I am? Get lost, you can’t afford to interrupt me gathering herbs!”

Shentu Fu was stunned, his jaw nearly dropped.

Damn, you’re just standing in for a Pill Master’s disciple, where did you get the confidence to be so arrogant?

And from the tone of that inspection group, that guy named Jin Xing had some status, but it was rather limited, allowing only a hundred plants.

You’ve gathered thousands of plants now, trying to use Jin Xing as a shield, who would buy it?

The leader of the inspection group was evidently experienced and wasn’t intimidated by Ye Haochuan’s momentum, responding coldly, “I don’t care who you are, if you dare act recklessly on Netherworld Mountain, even the King of Heaven must die!”

“Oh, seems like you’re a hero not afraid of authority, I admire you!”

Ye Haochuan remarked with exaggerated expression, “When my master pulverizes you, I’ll add that comment to your tombstone, ensuring descendants remember your noble character!”

The leader’s lips twitched inexplicably, feeling a sudden chill inside, but he maintained a composed expression, “Who’s your master, could he possibly be stronger than the rules set by the Temple?”

“He’s not very formidable, just the Ghostfire Pill Saint, I wonder if you’ve heard of his name?”

Ye Haochuan replied with a smile.

“Ghostfire… Pill Saint? You’re the disciple of the Pill Saint?”

The leader could no longer stay calm, his face turned pale with fright.

Who doesn’t know that since the Medicine King passed away, the Ghostfire Pill Saint is the top Divine Pill Master in the Immortal Realm, unequivocally!

Moreover, in the Temple, the Ghostfire Pill Saint is one of the eight Palace Venerables, and due to his alchemy skills, his status among the eight is second to none.

The world venerates his alchemy skills more than his Venerable title, making the Pill Saint title far more prominent.

If this truly was an order from the Ghostfire Pill Saint, he really wouldn’t dare to obstruct.

“My name is Ma Yi, feel free to check if my master is the Ghostfire Pill Saint!”

Ye Haochuan arrogantly handed over Ma Yi’s identity token.

This type of token, everyone in the Temple possesses, Ye Haochuan had one when he was at the South Sect too.

Ma Yi is Jin Xing’s apprentice, though he serves in the Danxi Alliance, he holds an identity in the Temple as well, hence he possesses an identity token.

The leader still had some doubts, cautiously took out a Message Jade Slip and sent an inquiry.

Shortly, a response came from the other end, confirming Ye Haochuan’s claim.

“Apologies, I didn’t know you were gathering herbs for the Pill Saint, we were inconsiderate!”

The leader’s attitude instantly made a one-hundred-eighty-degree change, respectfully bowed to Ye Haochuan.

“Oh? Is there a rule in the Temple that allows the Pill Saint to gather herbs freely on Netherworld Mountain?” Ye Haochuan suddenly frowned and asked.

“Well, no, but…”

The leader explained.

There’s no such explicit rule, but everyone knows the Ghostfire Pill Saint’s status in the Temple.

As the number one Divine Pill Master in the Temple, it’s no exaggeration to say that the herbs on the entire Netherworld Mountain are prepared for him.

Under such circumstances, who would stop the Ghostfire Pill Saint from gathering herbs, they’d definitely be foolish.

“Since there’s no explicit rule, we did indeed make a mistake. Hey, you should arrest me and convict me then!” Ye Haochuan lamented painfully.

“No… couldn’t dare, couldn’t dare!”

The leader broke out in a cold sweat, realizing Ye Haochuan was getting back at them earlier.

But now, he wouldn’t dare to say a word, with the Ghostfire Pill Saint backing him, what could he do?

The Ghostfire Pill Saint could end his life with just words.

Though a Demi-God seems strong outside, in the main Temple, Demi-Gods are as numerous as dogs, kill one and another would replace him in half a day.

“I thought I met a hero who upheld justice, turns out you’re also fearful of authority! Young man, I’m truly disappointed!” Ye Haochuan sighed with a pout.

The leader’s face was metaphorically smacked hard, wishing he could crawl into a hole.

He regretted deeply, had he known this background earlier, he wouldn’t have spoken those blatant words.

Now, he’s being ridiculed, unable to retort at all, it’s embarrassing!

Though, soon he abandoned such thoughts, seeing this as an opportunity.

The Ghostfire Pill Saint’s coattails he couldn’t grab, nor the disciples of the Pill Saint, but here was a chance with the Pill Saint’s disciple.

Considering the Ghostfire Pill Saint sent him to gather herbs on Netherworld Mountain, he must have earned significant trust, sticking with him might provide opportunities to interact with the Ghostfire Pill Saint, that would be incredible!

With this thought, the leader disregarded all notions of integrity, shamelessly said, “Ma… Alchemist Ma, seeing you working hard in gathering herbs, why not let us help, so you can complete your task quicker, wouldn’t you agree?”

“Do you know how to gather herbs?”

Ye Haochuan scrutinized the men, asking.

“Ma Alchemist, don’t joke, being assigned to manage inspections on Netherworld Mountain means we’re somewhat familiar with herbs. Alchemy may not be our forte, but herb gathering, we’re definitely skilled!” The leader replied with a grin.

Of course, why hadn’t I thought of that?

Ye Haochuan’s heart was suddenly stirred.

The two of them digging, how fast could they be? After so much time, they only managed to dig over ten miles, right?

If they found more people to help, couldn’t they dig up the entire mountain in no time?
