Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 941: Chapter 940: Gong Yu Returns to the Team (1 Update)

In Deng Hongyu’s possessions, Ye Haochuan found a map.

Over the past years, countless people have entered the Sub-Thunder Element Dimension Realm, mapping out the known regions and marking the degrees of danger.

On this map, the most dangerous areas are actually those unknown regions.

”With this map, we no longer need to grope in the dark,” Zhu Qingshuang said.

”Alas, it’s also my fault for not asking Senior Brother Zhu to prepare one for me in the beginning.” Ye Haochuan had thought that by teaming up with Zhu Tian and the others, he wouldn’t need to bother preparing anything, but unexpected they got separated not long after entering.

Now with the map, they no longer had to be as trepidatious as before, fearing walking into any dangerous areas.

”So where do we go now, Five Dragons Mountain?” Zhu Qingshuang asked.

Ye Haochuan shook his head and said, ”Let’s head to Mist Valley first.”

Mist Valley, the valley where Long Keyue lost her necklace.

”With just the two of us, isn’t it too risky? Shouldn’t we find Senior Sister Long and Senior Brother Zhu first, for safety?” Zhu Qingshuang hesitated.

One at Foundation Establishment Early Stage and the other not even having reached Foundation Establishment, charging into the Sub-Thunder Element Dimension Realm like this was simply seeking death.

”Afraid of what? Our current combat strength can definitely compete with two Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage, what can’t we brave? Besides, even if we go to Five Dragons Mountain now, the danger level would not be lower than that of heading to Mist Valley,” he argued.

”This... Alright then!” Zhu Qingshuang thought for a moment, and in the end, nodded in agreement.

After several battles, both of them were somewhat worn out. They rested briefly, and once they had recovered, they set off on their way.

This time, guided by the map, their pace was much faster.

...

”Brother Ye!”

They hadn’t gone far when they heard someone calling Ye Haochuan from behind. Turning his head, he saw that it was Gong Yu.

”Gong Yu? You’re still alive, lad?” Ye Haochuan was clearly very happy to encounter his comrade-in-arms once again.

If it weren’t for Gong Yu decisively leading away half of the Thunder Plains Running Wolves during the battle, Ye Haochuan wouldn’t have been able to kill the other running wolves so easily.

However, the number of Thunder Plains Running Wolves that Gong Yu led away was substantial, and it would have obviously been impossible for him alone to kill them all. Ye Haochuan wondered how he had managed to escape.

Rushing over, Gong Yu said to Ye Haochuan, ”Me? Die that easily? When I was leading away that half of the Thunder Plains Running Wolves, I suddenly fell into a narrow pit. Those running wolves were too big to get in. After they left, I managed to climb out.”

”A pit? Damn, you’re one hell of a lucky bastard, aren’t you?”

Gong Yu laughed, ”I was wondering too, how a pit just suddenly appeared out of nowhere. It was only after falling into it that I realized it was a man-made trap, thankfully without any mechanisms or the like inside.”

Ye Haochuan internally sighed at the frustration of comparisons. He recalled how much effort it had taken him to kill those Thunder Plains Running Wolves, and later even being chased into Lei Ze by Foundation Establishment Stage running wolves. If it weren’t because Lei Ze was conjured by the Lei Tree People, he would have been long gone.

And yet, Gong Yu, who just happened to find a pit, managed to escape danger so easily.

Wait a minute, that’s not right. If the Thunder Plains Running Wolves were that easy to trick, how could they be the overlords of the Thunder Plains? The Thunder Plains Running Wolves are not that low in intelligence, and Ye Haochuan would not believe that they couldn’t even dig through soil.

It appears that this lad might not be so simple after all!

Ye Haochuan suddenly became a bit wary of Gong Yu.

”By the way, how did you know we were here?”

The Sub-Thunder Element Dimensional Realm isn’t very large, nor is it small; Gong Yu and Ye Haochuan did not have a predetermined meeting point, and Mist Valley lies in the opposite direction of Five Dragons Mountain. The sudden appearance of Gong Yu, if claimed to be a coincidence, certainly isn’t a good explanation.

”Maybe I was just luckier,” Gong Yu said with a simple and honest laugh. ”I didn’t know myself; I just picked a direction at random and, unexpectedly, I ran into you all here! It seems we are really fated!”

Ye Haochuan smiled and responded, ”Then you are indeed very lucky.”

Gong Yu scratched his head, looking a bit embarrassed as he asked, ”Can... can I stick with you guys?”

Ye Haochuan considered it for a moment before replying, ”We were initially a team, so of course you can!”

Gong Yu expressed his great joy, ”Thank you, Brother Ye!”

Being at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, without friends or a map, it was indeed difficult for him to make his way through the Sub-Thunder Element Dimensional Realm.

Following the map, Ye Haochuan suddenly noticed a medicinal garden ahead, clearly marked on the map, albeit with a certain degree of danger noted.

”Let’s go take a look at the medicinal garden; who knows, there might be some heavenly and earthly treasures!”

Zhu Qingshuang replied, ”If there were heavenly and earthly treasures, would they still be waiting for you to come along?”

”Regardless of the danger level, it would still be good to take a look.”

Ye Haochuan insisted, and without saying anything more, Zhu Qingshuang, along with the three of them, hurried to the medicinal garden.

On the way, Gong Yu pondered aloud, ”Since this medicinal garden is clearly marked on the map, there should probably be quite a few people there, right?”

Gong Yu made a reasonable point. Ye Haochuan replied, ”That may be true, but it’s possible that not all maps are the same. Maybe many people don’t have this garden marked on their map as mine does.”

Not everyone is willing to share information about the areas they have explored, especially people from Hellfire; they would never inform those from Ancient Martial Arts Sects about their past explorations.

Upon arrival at the medicinal garden, they were greeted by a burst of dense spiritual energy.

The garden was not big, just about an acre, filled with herbs, exotic flowers, and plants shining in splendid colors.

After scanning the area, Zhu Qingshuang shook her head, indicating, ”These herbs are essentially not very valuable.”

Ye Haochuan understood that every time the Sub-Thunder Element Dimensional Realm opened, this garden would certainly be visited and plundered clean, only to regrow after five years. With such a rapid growth cycle, it’s true that nothing of value could be cultivated.

Now the garden was brimming with herbs, a clear sign that this time around, Ye Haochuan and his companions were the first to enter upon the opening of the Sub-Thunder Element Dimensional Realm; otherwise, the garden would likely have been looted already.

Ye Haochuan was not the greedy type, so he would not harvest the garden. If this garden were not pillaged every five years, it wouldn’t be impossible for it to produce enormously valuable herbs.

Although these herbs didn’t have much use, the spiritual energy here was indeed much denser than other places. Ye Haochuan immediately decided to cultivate on the spot for a day to solidify his Cultivation at the Innate Peak.

”Alright then,” Zhu Qingshuang voiced no objections, and naturally, Gong Yu did not dare to oppose either.

Ye Haochuan did not delay; he immediately sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate.

With abundant spiritual energy in the Medicine Institute, Ye Haochuan drew it into his body, transforming it into pure Innate Gang Qi.

Having just reached the Innate Peak Realm, Ye Haochuan’s Cultivation was not very stable yet and his Gang Qi was somewhat lacking, making this an excellent opportunity to strengthen it.

Zhu Qingshuang also sat down cross-legged but did not cultivate—instead, she simply closed her eyes to rest. As for Gong Yu
