Invincible Little School Doctor Chapter 2549: Harvesting Everything

“In that case, find a few more people to help me gather herbs!”

Ye Haochuan looked at the leader approvingly and said with a smile.

The leader was immediately thrilled; Ye Haochuan accepted his kindness, which meant his wish to cozy up to someone powerful could be realized!

If Ye Haochuan knew his thoughts, he would certainly laugh his head off.

If the leader later discovered he was just an impostor, he would probably want to bash his head against a wall.

“What kind of herbs does the lord want? How much do you need?”

The leader cautiously asked.

“Harvest them all!”

Ye Haochuan waved grandly, full of swagger.

“What? Harvest them all?”

The leader could hardly believe his ears and quickly said, “The herbs on Netherworld Mountain are tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands in number; what is the Great Pill Saint planning that requires harvesting every single one?”

“Does my master need to explain what he’s doing to you?”

Ye Haochuan said calmly.

“No, dare not!”

The leader awkwardly replied, “But there’s a portion on Netherworld Mountain that’s allocated to the Gong Family; if we harvest them all, won’t the Gong Family…”

“What about them?”

Ye Haochuan snorted, “The Gong Family is nothing but a dog we raise at the Temple; do we owe them any explanation? I’ll tell you, my master’s work is critically important this time; if delayed, the ones who will need to explain are the Gong Family!”

“Yes, yes!”

The leader broke out in a sweat and hurriedly agreed, turning around to find people.

“Wow? The title of Ghostfire Pill Saint is so useful that even such unreasonable demands are executed unconditionally?”

After the others left, Ye Haochuan exclaimed with surprise.

He had no idea that Ghostfire Pill Saint indeed had an important task this time, and most people in Netherworld Mountain knew this.

They just didn’t know exactly what Ghostfire Pill Saint was doing.

Ye Haochuan’s coincidental intimidation made them assume gathering all the herbs was indeed Ghostfire Pill Saint’s big task, securing the authenticity of Ye Haochuan’s words in their minds.

“Awesome!”

Shentu Fu, standing beside him, gave Ye Haochuan a thumbs-up.

Ye Haochuan’s portrayal of borrowing power from influence was so vivid and real that even Shentu Fu admired it.

Ye Haochuan proudly raised his head and just sat quietly there, waiting to inspect the outcome.

Soon, nearly everyone on Netherworld Mountain was mobilized, conducting a carpet-style harvest of Netherworld Mountain, even the Middle Level God Lord guarding the gate was involved.

The group worked in high spirits, their morale greatly boosted, and their efficiency was surprisingly high.

In just two hours, they truly managed to sweep nearly all the mountain’s herbs into Ye Haochuan’s possession.

When nearly ten rings filled with precious herbs were placed in Ye Haochuan’s hands, his hands trembled.

This was the entirety of Netherworld Mountain’s herbs; even now, he was dazed that he genuinely managed to obtain all the herbs from the mountain.

If two hours ago, he wouldn’t have dared to even dream of this.

“Everyone has worked hard; when my master succeeds this time, he certainly won’t forget any of you!” Ye Haochuan said with bogus sincerity, offering his thanks.

Instantly, everyone cheered enthusiastically.

Even the Middle Level God Lord was exceedingly excited at possibly gaining favor from Ghostfire Pill Saint.

If they knew, Ghostfire Pill Saint might not even know who Ma Yi is, one wonders what kind of expressions they’d have.

Having accepted the herbs, Ye Haochuan planned to make his escape.

He completed the task with surplus, having collected more than twenty Nine Yin Netherworld Ganoderma; he truly had no reason to risk exposure by staying on this baren mountain.

Just when he was about to send the people away and find a place to slip into the Minor World, an untimely voice suddenly sounded.

“Ma Yi, why did it take so long to send a few herbs?”

Ye Haochuan broke out in cold sweat, suddenly remembering Ma Yi’s initial mission.

To make the act more convincing, he had been pretending to be Ma Yi, and now being recognized by Jin Xing, he dared not casually say, “You’ve got the wrong person.”

As for slipping into the Minor World, it wasn’t an option anymore.

Not to mention whether he could bring Shentu Fu with him, even if he fled alone, he wouldn’t dare to use the Minor World in front of so many people.

Especially with a Middle Level God Lord present; if he exhibited any abnormality, it would only be a thought for the God Lord to make him stay.

Ye Haochuan’s mind raced, quickly understanding the nuance, turning to Jin Xing with a sheepish smile, “I was just about to come; didn’t expect you, master, to show up ahead!”

“Enough nonsense, time is crucial, come along quickly!”

Jin Xing glanced impatiently at Ye Haochuan before turning away and flying off.

Ye Haochuan bid the others farewell and followed Jin Xing with a tense demeanor.

Unbeknownst to them, this scene solidified Ye Haochuan’s identity in everyone’s eyes; they were all delighted beyond words, completely missing Shentu Fu sneaking away at the first chance.

“Wait, where have all the mountain herbs gone?”

Flying ahead, Jin Xing suddenly exclaimed.

Earlier he left too hastily to notice the herbs; now, with a casual downward glance, he spotted the anomaly.

Ye Haochuan broke out in cold sweat once more; if Jin Xing turned back to inquire about the herbs, he would be thoroughly exposed.

His eyes shifted, thinking quickly under pressure, “I also found it odd at first, so I went to ask them earlier. They said it was an order from the higher-ups; they don’t know the reason either.”

These words were skillfully spoken; if it were said to be the Ghostfire Pill Saint, Jin Xing might have gone to inquire.

Now he merely mentioned some vague higher-ups; Jin Xing would automatically speculate who it might be based on his own logic.

Jin Xing’s status clearly wasn’t high enough to casually question higher-ups; hearing this, he merely said “oh” and suppressed his doubt as he continued on.

Ye Haochuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief but immediately thought to himself, “Why in the world is this guy a Middle Level God Lord?”

If his power were slightly weaker, Ye Haochuan would’ve had a chance to slip into the Minor World, but facing a Middle Level God Lord, that possibility was immediately nullified.

The two flew one after the other for half a minute, finally reaching a cave mansion halfway up the mountain.

“Master’s major task is at hand, and this time I must make a breakthrough to lend him my support!”

Jin Xing, who entered the cave mansion first, cheerfully declared.

He asked Ma Yi to deliver some pills not found on Netherworld Mountain precisely to expedite his breakthrough to the Middle Level God Alchemist level.

This time secluding on Netherworld Mountain, he felt tremendously benefited, with the breakthrough seemingly right in front of him.

Ye Haochuan, filled with trepidation, followed in, placing the herbs from Ma Yi’s ring onto the table beside Jin Xing.

“If there’s nothing else, I won’t disturb you, master, in your alchemy!”

Ye Haochuan cautiously said, ready to leave.

“Stop!”

Jin Xing abruptly said coldly, “Weren’t you complaining about me not teaching you alchemy hands-on? This time you’ll stay here and protect me; how much you gain depends on your own talent!”

Brush! Does young master here need you to teach him?

Ye Haochuan lamented inwardly.

Jin Xing was quite familiar with Ma Yi; the longer he stayed here, the higher the risk of being uncovered!
