Invincible Little School Doctor Chapter 2551: Heartless and Unfaithful

Upon hearing the words “betraying master and ancestors,” Jin Xing drew a sharp breath and asked in shock, “Who exactly are you?”

The incident back then was not unknown, but over the years, because of Ghostfire Pill Saint’s influential status, even those who knew dared not speak of it casually.

For Ye Haochuan to know this matter, it indicates that this person is quite extraordinary.

Before Ye Haochuan could respond, a bead flew from his waist, releasing a wisp of Smoke Soul.

“Little Xingzi, do you still recognize your master?”

The phantom stared at Jin Xing with a complex expression and asked solemnly.

“Mas… Master, how are you here when you already…”

Jin Xing’s face was filled with terror.

“Already dead, right?”

Medicine King sneered, “Rest assured, I am indeed dead, and cannot seek revenge on you.”

Only then did Jin Xing let out a long breath; back then, he schemed to kill his master, exhausting every thought, fearing Medicine King might not be completely dead and return for vengeance.

Now upon closer inspection, seeing only a wisp of Smoke Soul left of Medicine King, he finally relaxed.

“You old thing, don’t blame me; it’s because you refused to teach me the Dharma for advancement, otherwise I wouldn’t have resorted to such a tactic?”

After the fear subsided, Jin Xing’s words became more brazen.

“Haha~”

Medicine King let out a bitter laugh before speaking, “All these years, you still haven’t realized that steady cultivation is the true path!”

“Nonsense!”

Jin Xing snorted coldly, “If what you say is true, then how come I broke through to Divine Pill Master shortly after joining the Pill Saint’s ranks?”

Medicine King shook his head and said, “You could have developed your own Alchemy Dao, but instead, you sought to mimic others and became a poor imitation. You’ve been stuck at Middle Level God Alchemist for hundreds of years; have you not considered why?”

“Pill Saint said that I lack a fortuitous encounter, instructing me just to wait patiently!” Jin Xing said smugly.

“Heh!”

Medicine King sighed deeply, “I once urged you to focus on cultivation, but you wouldn’t listen. Qin Hongjun simply switched wording, telling you to wait patiently, and you eagerly followed. I nurtured and taught you for decades, treat you like my own child, yet in the end, your heart turned to another!”

As he spoke, Medicine King’s expression became increasingly gloomy; though it sounded like he was reprimanding Jin Xing, it was actually self-mockery.

Nurturing a turncoat back then, boasting foolishly thereafter, probably after that incident, he became the laughingstock of the whole world.

“Nonsense, you’re talking nonsense!”

Jin Xing roared with all his might, but could hardly hide the desolation in his heart.

He could also perceive the truth in Medicine King’s words, yet he refused to believe it.

In his heart, Medicine King was merely that selfish fellow who never truly considered him a disciple and kept all sorts of skills concealed, making it justified for him to have killed Medicine King.

He refused to believe he committed the act of betraying his master and ancestors.

“Had I listened to you back then, I probably wouldn’t have even broken through to Divine Pill Master now. Yes, that must be it!”

Jin Xing found himself a very reasonable excuse.

“Stop deluding yourself!”

Medicine King snorted coldly, pointing at Ye Haochuan, “This is your half-disciple, and with years fewer in alchemy than you, his achievements far surpass yours.”

The term “half-disciple” was used because Ye Haochuan’s alchemy techniques originated from the Hua Clan, not directly taught by him.

“No, I haven’t lost yet, how could I possibly lose to a junior?”

Jin Xing’s pride felt challenged; he stopped speaking and sat cross-legged beside the Pill Furnace, beginning to refine pills.

The pill for the competition had been refined by him hundreds and thousands of times before, so he was extremely familiar.

However, now with his agitated heart, where could he find peace?

The pill hadn’t even started solidifying before it exploded into ashes.

Jin Xing became even more anxious on his face, eagerly taking out a second batch of medicinal ingredients.

This batch was even worse than the previous one.

As he reached for the third batch of ingredients, Medicine King suddenly spoke, “Adjust your mindset; heart like still water, that is the path of alchemy.”

Is it still impossible to completely let go of emotions?

Ye Haochuan sighed silently from the side.

He noticed the kindness in Medicine King’s eyes, like a father teaching a three-year-old child how to stack blocks.

Even after being schemed against by this disciple leading to his death, Medicine King ultimately regarded him as his own child.

Feeling the long-lost guidance, Jin Xing surprisingly calmed down.

Medicine King seemed to return to the time when he taught Jin Xing, pointing out mistakes and sharing experience.

This time, miraculously, Jin Xing did not voice any opposition but instead accepted with humility.

Soon, Jin Xing began refining his third batch of pills.

This time, it proceeded very smoothly, and he successfully refined a fourth-grade Mysterious Pill, which was of slightly better quality than Ye Haochuan’s.

“I won, I won!”

Jin Xing danced with excitement, “I told you, there’s no way I could lose to a young junior.”

Ye Haochuan couldn’t bear to see his arrogance, so he said aloud, “Are you stupid? I just refined once; do you really think you would win?”

Ye Haochuan didn’t say much and sat cross-legged again; after a dozen minutes, another pill was refined.

Jin Xing’s face turned dark green, glaring at Medicine King, “It’s all your fault, why didn’t you speak earlier, causing me to lose the match!”

Medicine King was momentarily silent, then bitterly smiled, not bothering to argue further.

What sense is there in arguing with such a person, it would only add needless frustration.

Ye Haochuan, though, was no such benevolent. He sneered, “You blame everyone but yourself; truly wasting your talents and such a good teacher! If I were you, I’d find some tofu and bash my head in!”

“Bastard, how dare you speak here!” Jin Xing erupted in anger.

“You’ve already lost; per our previous agreement, your life is now mine!” Ye Haochuan snorted coldly.

Jin Xing gritted his teeth, huffing, “Dare to demand my life, don’t you see your own worth!”

Saying this, he reached out to grab Ye Haochuan.

“Heartless and unrighteous, scum like you, I haven’t encountered in quite some time!”

Ye Haochuan dodged swiftly while mocking.

The veins on Jin Xing’s forehead had long been throbbing; he shouted furiously, “Once I kill you, who will know I ever made a wager with you?”

The angrier he got, the more reckless he became.

Although he hadn’t cultivated diligently, he had the Middle Level God Lord cultivation as support, dealing with Ye Haochuan should have been easy.

Before long, Ye Haochuan became precariously endangered.

Seeing success within reach, a sinister smile formed on Jin Xing’s face.

He seemed to already imagine how he would heap humiliation upon Ye Haochuan after capturing him.

But at this moment, a longsword quietly pierced his chest.

“How could this be…”

Jin Xing stared incredulously at the longsword piercing through his chest, unwillingly turning his head.
