Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 511: Chapter 510: Not Even a Thank You?

After emerging from the abyss beneath the earth, Ye Haochuan and Su Zehao traveled together for a while before parting ways, as they belonged to different Sects and had to report back to their respective Sect-designated locations in the Secular World.

Since Han Dazhuang and He Dong were also returning to the Secular World with him, Ye Haochuan made his way back to the mine base first.

Huo Mengyao, Han Dazhuang, and He Dong, the vagrant, had already received his text messages and specially came out of the base to meet him. What surprised him was that Fan Qingyin had also been dragged along by Huo Mengyao.

As soon as they met, everyone was both surprised and envious to see that he had broken through to the Innate Realm after just one outing, especially Fan Qingyin, whose eyes were filled with disbelief.

He Dong candidly laughed and said, ”Senior Brother Ye, your cultivation speed has simply shattered records of our Ancient Martial Arts Sect. Those so-called geniuses are no match for you at all!”

”Good lad, nice talk. I’ll reward you with an Innate Pill when we get back!” Ye Haochuan replied nonchalantly.

”What, an Innate Pill? You have them?” He Dong was taken aback.

”I don’t have any now, but, I’ve gotten quite a few seeds of Fire Dragon Grass, so it won’t be a problem to make Innate Pills,” Ye Haochuan said with a smile.

He Dong had an epiphany and then his face lit up with joy, ”Then thank you in advance, Senior Brother Ye.”

”Brother-in-law, you’re only thinking of him, don’t forget about me, okay?” Han Dazhuang quickly added.

Ye Haochuan chuckled and replied, ”Don’t worry, we’re brothers. I won’t forget to look after you.”

Han Dazhuang only relented then, exchanging glances and grins with He Dong, his face beaming with happiness.

Huo Mengyao shook her head from the sidelines and stepped forward to scold Ye Haochuan, ”Can’t you be a little more discreet? If others find out you have seeds of Fire Dragon Grass, won’t they come after you to steal them?”

”Please, my dear Junior Sister Huo, my sweet Mengyao, when have I ever been indiscreet? Letting the whole world know how low-key I am, what’s wrong with that?” Ye Haochuan chuckled, casually caressing her smooth cheek with his hand.

”Stop it, there are people around!” Huo Mengyao, openly flirted with by him, couldn’t help blushing.

”It’s fine, we’re all family,” Ye Haochuan joked.

”Even among family, there’s no excuse for such dissolute behavior, right? How am I supposed to face others? And how am I supposed to manage such a large Crystal Stone Mine for you?” Huo Mengyao glared at him.

”Alright, alright, I won’t be dissolute with you anymore. I’ll be dissolute with others instead, okay?” Ye Haochuan laughed.

”What?” Huo Mengyao was speechless, realizing that this scoundrel was deliberately teasing her.

Seeing that she was displeased, Ye Haochuan quickly laughed it off and changed the subject, ”Alright, Mengyao, let’s drop the subject for now. I need to hastily refine some more Innate Pills, leave them to you guys, so you’ll have something to rely on against formidable enemies when I’m away...”

Previously on the small island in the magma zone, he couldn’t refine too many Innate Pills, only managing one. The main reason was that he didn’t want to delay and attract Mata Yashas and end up in trouble.

Huo Mengyao paused for a moment and asked, ”You’re going to refine now, will there be enough time? Now that you’re in the Innate Realm, you can certainly make it in time, but I’m worried that Han Dazhuang and He Dong...”

”Of course, there’s enough time,” Ye Haochuan confidently assured, ”I recall seeing some ordinary flying swords in the storage of the base. Could you fetch one for me later? I want to refine them into a Flying Sword Artifact.”

He had thought it over. If he were to continue refining Innate Pills, it would definitely consume almost an hour. With Han Dazhuang and He Dong’s travel pace, they would only slow him down. It would be faster to carry them with him using a Flying Sword Artifact.

Realizing his intention, Huo Mengyao readily agreed, ”Okay.”

The group proceeded to the Bamboo Building complex located halfway up the mountain, chatting and laughing all the way.

Ye Haochuan had Han Dazhuang and He Dong wait outside while he busied himself with refining Innate Pills inside the room.

Perhaps because he was out of danger, Ye Haochuan no longer felt the tension he had experienced while alchemizing in the abyss and was more adept at the process. In less than forty minutes, he consumed all the Fire Dragon Grass seeds and refined a total of eight Innate Pills.

Stepping out of the room, Han Dazhuang and He Dong greeted him excitedly.

”Brother-in-law, how did it go?” Han Dazhuang asked impatiently.

Ye Haochuan smiled proudly, ”Do I even need to say it? I refined eight in one go.”

Han Dazhuang was overjoyed and hurriedly said, ”Then brother-in-law, hurry and give me one to take.”

”What?” Ye Haochuan paused, stunned.

”I mean Brother Han, aren’t you mistaken? You’ve reached the Postnatal Realm by consuming Postnatal Pills. Now you’re clamoring for an Innate Pill. Aren’t you afraid it will hinder your cultivation progress later?” He Dong exclaimed in surprise.

”Yeah, Brother Dazhuang, relying solely on pills is not a good thing. It will make it hard for you to achieve greater success on the Martial Arts Path. You might even face a huge risk during crucial promotions, and if things go wrong, you could even lose your life,” Ye Haochuan advised.

However, Han Dazhuang had an indifferent attitude, ”You guys know how poor my natural talent is. Relying on my own understanding to comprehend is likely futile. Besides, I was just an ordinary person. To have come this far is already more than satisfying for me. As for future achievements in martial arts, there’s no need to think about that.”

”Alright, Brother Dazhuang, for your carefree attitude, I’ll give you an Innate Pill. Take it now,” Ye Haochuan said generously.

Han Dazhuang was thrilled to take the Innate Pill handed to him, swallowed it in one gulp, then followed Ye Haochuan’s guidance to sit cross-legged and absorb the power of the pill...

Just a few minutes later, Han Dazhuang stood up, looking radiant and spirited.

”You broke through just like that?” He Dong watched envyingly and said to Ye Haochuan, ”Senior Brother Ye...”

Ye Haochuan knew what he was thinking and said, ”Rest assured, you won’t miss out on the Innate Pill.”

As he spoke, he handed over an Innate Pill.

”Thanks, Senior Brother Ye,” He Dong grinned from ear to ear.

”However, Junior Brother He, your situation is different from Brother Dazhuang’s. You have insight. I suggest you proceed step by step to enhance your cultivation. Even if you do take an Innate Pill, it would be best after reaching the Peak of the Postnatal Realm because at that time your foundation will be much more robust, allowing you to fully absorb the pill’s power...”

”Certainly, Senior Brother Ye,” He Dong accepted the advice gladly.

While the three chatted and laughed, news of Ye Haochuan stepping out of the house was relayed to Huo Mengyao, who immediately rushed over with Fan Qingyin, along with the Institute of Extensive Learning disciple, Xu Wei.

”Haochuan, this is the Magic Sword you asked me to find.” Huo Mengyao said as she handed over the Magic Sword.

Ye Haochuan nodded and took it. Since the matter of the Innate Pills was not for everyone’s ears, he invited her into the house under the pretense of needing her assistance with the refinement of the Flying Sword Artifact.

”Mengyao, I’ll keep one Innate Pill for myself, and the remaining five are for you,” Ye Haochuan said generously.

”Give me so many?” Huo Mengyao was surprised.

”This trip to the Fire Elemental Realm is fraught with peril. In the upcoming month, you will face many unimaginable difficulties. These Innate Pills are for you, just in case. In dire situations, you can swallow an Innate Pill to break through and elevate your strength. Of course, you can also reward these pills to someone you deem trustworthy, I won’t intervene,”

Ye Haochuan spoke earnestly.

”Oh.” Huo Mengyao nodded excitedly.

”What? Not even a thank you?” Ye Haochuan teased with a mischievous smile.

Seeing his expression, Huo Mengyao knew what he was up to and asked shyly, ”How should I thank you?”

”Hehe, of course by having a round in bed first...”

”You’re so annoying...”

Huo Mengyao couldn’t stand his teasing and quickly fell into his arms, succumbing to the tempestuous embrace that followed...
