Invincible Little School Doctor

At this moment, both Ye Haochuan and Su Zehao had returned to the island. The Yasha they had encountered before was nowhere to be seen, which suggested that it knew pursuit was futile and had gone back to the island.

”This isn’t good. If they keep guarding outside, we won’t be able to leave at all. If we miss the activation time of the Teleportation Array and get stranded here, we’ll be in big trouble,” Su Zehao said anxiously as he eyed the shadowy figures on the opposite shore of the lake.

Ye Haochuan also furrowed his brows upon hearing this. After thinking for a moment, he said, ”Our top priority now is to reach the Innate Realm as soon as possible, only then we might have a chance to break through.”

”Indeed,” Su Zehao nodded, his face full of worry. ”I have been shackled at the Postnatal Peak for two to three years now, without a breakthrough. I’m not sure if I can succeed now.”

”There shouldn’t be a problem,” Ye Haochuan had the memories of the Holy Hand in his mind, and his understanding of the Martial Arts Path was backed by a wealth of experience.

Given that Su Zehao had been stuck at the Postnatal Peak for so many years, his foundation must be solid. All he needed was a bit of guidance to grasp the true essence of the martial arts, which would pave the way for his smooth breakthrough.

With this in mind, Ye Haochuan immediately shared in detail the experience passed down from the Holy Hand.

Upon hearing this, Su Zehao felt as if clouds were parted to reveal clarity, all the puzzlements that plagued his mind cleared up one by one.

”You’re right, so very right. Brother Haochuan, you’re truly a genius in martial arts! No wonder you could go from an ordinary person to a high-level expert at the Postnatal Peak in just a few weeks,” Su Zehao said, full of admiration.

Ye Haochuan secretly felt ashamed; without the memory inheritance from the Holy Hand, he feared he would need much longer to progress though the stages of cultivation.

”Now, get to comprehension quickly, strive for a breakthrough in one go. Then, you’ll be in charge of protecting me while I concoct the Innate Pills. I certainly don’t want the Yasha to disturb me while I’m pill refining,” Ye Haochuan said solemnly.

”You can concoct Innate Pills?” Su Zehao was greatly astonished.

”Heh heh, what, don’t you believe me?” Ye Haochuan chuckled. ”Don’t forget, I am a Medical Practitioner from the Ancient Martial Arts Sect.”

Su Zehao expressed his surprise, ”But I’ve heard that Medical Practitioners from the Ancient Martial Arts Sect, even those with advanced cultivation levels, unless they become Great Physicians, rarely leave the sect because they focus on the Medical Path. But here you are, merely a Medical Practitioner, daring to venture out. That takes some guts.”

Ye Haochuan replied with a smile, ”Let me be honest with you, I pursue both medicine and martial arts, so naturally, I can’t just hole up in the Sect like other Medical Practitioners and Physicians to study the Medical Path.”

Su Zehao suddenly realized the truth and exclaimed, ”Honestly, with your current level of cultivation, it’s nothing short of miraculous. Pursuing both medicine and martial arts usually progresses very slowly, yet your pace is faster than that of a pure Martial Artist. Ah, it’s maddening to compare oneself with another!”

”Enough of that. We don’t have much time left. If we miss the opening of the Teleportation Array, we’ll be stuck in this Sub-Fire Dimension Realm. Not to mention the terrifying monsters here, just the ever-changing climate of the Fire Elemental Realm could be unbearable for us. We need to find a place to hide. You concentrate on your comprehension while I keep watch,” Ye Haochuan instructed.

”Okay,” Su Zehao nodded.

Then, the two found a safe cave on the island. Su Zehao immediately went in and sat down cross-legged, recalling in detail the insights about martial arts that Ye Haochuan had shared, before he started to combine them with his own understanding to attempt to breach the Innate Realm.

Seeing him take to it like a duck to water, Ye Haochuan nodded inwardly and began setting up outside to prevent the Yasha from intruding.

What he laid out around him was the Yasha excrement he had collected along the way.

Ye Haochuan was very clear about the habits of the Yasha. Although they gathered on this island, they typically preferred solitary living and were extremely territorial. By spreading the Yasha excrement around the cave, the pungent smell that it emitted would lead other Yashas to mistakenly believe this was someone else’s territory and thus avoid the area.

Once the setup was more or less complete, Ye Haochuan returned to the cave to keep watch for Su Zehao.

Beyond that, there was nothing else he could do. He couldn’t even concoct Innate Pills because pill refining required full attention, and any disturbance could lead to complications.

Moreover, the scent emitted during pill refining could easily attract the Yasha. Only once Su Zehao achieved a breakthrough and entered the Innate Realm, ensuring his protection, would Ye Haochuan feel secure enough to proceed with the refining.

Time ticked away second by second...

Suddenly, Ye Haochuan felt the atmosphere in the entire cave become oppressive, as if an invisible force had descended, weighing upon them. It was intangible yet reached directly into the soul.

He felt something strange in his heart, and looked around, only to discover that above the seated Su Zehao, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed while trying to make a breakthrough, there actually hung strands of five-colored light.

Fuck, this kid finally grasped how to break through.

Ye Haochuan secretly rejoiced in his heart.

As expected—

Shortly afterward, Su Zehao opened his eyes, stood up tall, and was brimming with energy.

”Brother Haochuan, I did it, I finally transformed the True Qi in my Dantian into Gang Qi,” Su Zehao said excitedly to Ye Haochuan.

Ye Haochuan pretended to kick him: ”Goddamn it, stop being so happy, instead, keep a lookout for me? I need to refine the Innate Pills quickly.”

When one is happy, one feels invigorated, and Su Zehao patted his chest, saying, ”Don’t worry, with me here, those Yashas won’t even dream of getting in.”

Ye Haochuan nodded and suddenly remembered something, ”Right, later on, I might need to use your Gang Qi to catalyze... ”

Without a second thought, Su Zehao said, ”Sure, sure, however much Gang Qi you need, I’ll give it to you later.”

”Haha, that’s what I call a true brother! Just do as I say when it’s time.”

After saying this, Ye Haochuan took out the Strange Fire King Cauldron and inserted several Fierce Fire Crystal Stones into the crystal slots to increase the refining power of the Strange Fire King Cauldron.

Next, he took out the necessary herbs, including the coconut-sized Fire Dragon Grass seeds he had just picked.

Then, Ye Haochuan channeled Longevity True Qi into the Strange Fire King Cauldron, which immediately blazed fiercely.

He hurriedly dumped the herbs inside.

Soon, with his Perspective Eyes activated, he could see that inside the Strange Fire King Cauldron, under the scorching of blue flames, the herbs began to react swiftly and were gradually smelted into a mass of pitch-black liquid.

Ye Haochuan then channeled another stream of True Qi, holding the liquid in mid-air, allowing it to slowly roll within the flames.

Through his Perspective Eyes, he could see impurities of yellow color constantly bubbling out of the liquid, but under the scorch of the blue flames, they were burnt to nothingness, dissipating into the air.

Subsequently, Ye Haochuan tossed several Fire Dragon Grass seeds into the cauldron, and after a round of scorching, the outer shells of the seeds were burnt off without a trace, leaving only the essence of the grass core.

Afterward, Ye Haochuan increased the fire, turning even the core of the grass into a liquid, which was then thoroughly fused with the previous liquid.

Like this, another quarter of an hour passed, and Ye Haochuan felt the integration was about right, but he needed Su Zehao’s help now.

”Brother Zehao, quick, send over your Gang Qi,” Ye Haochuan said.

”Alright!” Su Zehao, while keeping watch and observing the alchemy, immediately followed his instructions and sent over a bundle of Gang Qi.

Ye Haochuan then guided this bundle of Gang Qi over and merged it into the pure liquid that resembled a black pearl; instantly, the liquid reacted violently, boiling like hot water.

Gradually, the reaction began to calm down.

Ye Haochuan subsequently stopped channeling True Qi, and after a while, the Strange Fire King Cauldron gradually lost its flames, and the liquid also cooled down. Under Ye Haochuan’s manipulation of True Qi—which cut and kneaded it—five medium-sized black pills were formed.

”The Innate Pills, they’re done!”

Ye Haochuan was overjoyed beyond expectation.
