Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 953: Chapter 952: Blood Land Lotus (3 more)

Ye Haochuan originally thought that Zhu Qingshuang would chase him all over the mountain because of what just happened, but surprisingly, after being dazed for a while, she slowly sat back down on the same stone she had sat on before, without any sign of blowing up at him.

Huh, when did this woman change her ways?

Ye Haochuan felt somewhat puzzled and scratched his head on the side.

At that moment, Zhu Tian also finished his cultivation practice and slowly walked over.

”How is it? The cultivation effect in this place is pretty good, right?” Ye Haochuan walked over and asked.

Who knew that Zhu Tian would shake his head and say, ”This is indeed a good place for cultivation, but speaking of cultivation effects, it’s not really ideal.”

After saying this, Zhu Tian’s expression clearly dimmed. His cultivation talent was limited, and he had struggled to reach the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment. To progress further was even harder.

Ye Haochuan was aware of Zhu Tian’s situation and immediately urged him, ”Don’t lose heart. I think your cultivation can definitely still improve. You’re just short of cultivation resources right now. Just stick with me, and I guarantee you’ll have more miraculous elixirs than you can ever finish.”

Hearing this, Zhu Tian snorted with laughter and said, ”The pills you just took were ones I gave you, and now you’re boasting again. You really do have a thick skin!”

After such a long time together, Zhu Tian had already come to view Ye Haochuan as one of his own and was no longer as polite in his speech as before.

”Please, I am a Divine Doctor, okay? Alchemy is just child’s play to me. I simply didn’t have the time and resources before. Wait until we get back, I’ll make a whole warehouse full of pills for you, so many you’ll never be able to finish them in your lifetime—believe it or not?” Ye Haochuan said with a sly grin.

Looking at Ye Haochuan’s shameless demeanor, Zhu Tian felt the earlier displeasure fade away considerably. After greeting Zhu Qingshuang, the three set off again.

The place was nice, but they couldn’t stay here forever. With seven days left until the Sub-Thunder Element Dimension Realm closed, they hoped to find another treasure spot like this one.

Zhu Qingshuang was somewhat dispirited, but she didn’t say anything to Ye Haochuan, acting as if nothing had happened.

Seeing this, Ye Haochuan knew there was fun to be had and proceeded to tease Zhu Qingshuang in various ways. However, no matter what he said, Zhu Qingshuang acted as if she hadn’t heard a thing and completely ignored him.

Damn, she didn’t get so angry that she went dumb, did she?

Having his advances rebuffed time after time, Ye Haochuan felt quite frustrated but finally gave up, and the team at last returned to tranquility.

The journey that followed was still very smooth. Ye Haochuan even began to wonder if all the Demon Beasts in the Sub-Thunder Origin Realm had died out, as they hadn’t encountered a single formidable Demon Beast for several days straight?

Of course, he didn’t realize that there was an exceptionally powerful being following behind them. Those Demon Beasts, under that person’s might, had long since fled far away.

Having not encountered any Demon Beasts, Ye Haochuan was happy to relax. The journey was incredibly pleasant—eating when it was time to eat, sleeping when it was time to sleep—as if they were on a sightseeing tour.

If others knew that this was how Ye Haochuan traversed the Sub-Thunder Origin Realm, they probably would have cried their eyes out. Everyone was here to train. Others were being cautious to the point of exhaustion, terrified that they would be eaten by Demon Beasts if they weren’t careful, yet here he was, leisurely sightseeing.

It truly confirmed that old saying, the difference between people can sometimes be greater than the difference between a person and a pig!

Without any surprises or dangers, they finally arrived at the outskirts of the Five Dragons Mountain after a day’s journey.

Although called a mountain, Five Dragons Mountain is not simply a peak but a vast mountain range. Five enormous mountain ridges reside here, resembling five giant dragons, hence its name as the Five Dragons Mountain.

Everyone who enters the Sub-Thunder Element Dimension Realm knows that Five Dragons Mountain has Heavenly Star Grass. Thus, virtually all powerful fighters aim for this location.

Those who lack the strength to contend for the Heavenly Star Grass mostly gather here as well, for the spiritual energy is abundant, capable of nurturing numerous treasures. Whereas venturing into other realms might rely on luck, coming to Five Dragons Mountain is to make a near-certain choice of finding treasures.

Since there are too many people heading to Five Dragons Mountain, an extensive night market forms along its periphery during the evenings, when it is not suitable to hunt for treasures. Many who find treasures they don’t need would set them out here, hoping to barter for something useful to themselves.

When Ye Haochuan and his group arrived, it was already around eight or nine in the evening, but the place was still brightly lit.

”Let’s go have a look. Perhaps Immortal Aunt is resting here too,” Ye Haochuan suggested.

”Sure!” Zhu Tian immediately nodded in agreement.

Such gathering places have many advantages. Not to mention anything else, just in terms of warding off attacks from demon beasts, there is nothing to worry about here.

Those who enter the Sub-Thunder Element Dimension Realm openly are all from Xuanmen, and among the Xuanmen people, fratricide is forbidden. Therefore, in such gathering places, there is generally no danger. In terms of trade, forceful buying and selling are rare as well.

”Eh? Is that a Blood Land Lotus?” Ye Haochuan had only just entered the trading area when he spotted something that piqued his interest.

Blood Land Lotus is an essential ingredient for alchemizing Foundation Establishment Pills. Ye Haochuan had taken the pills prepared by Zhu Tian for his son and naturally wanted to find a way to repay him. These Foundation Establishment Pills can significantly increase the success rate of Foundation Establishment, even more potent than the pills given by Zhu Tian.

”You’ve got good eyes, young man. This Blood Land Lotus of mine was just dug up from the mountain, absolutely fresh and at a good deal!” The vendor selling the Blood Land Lotus was a lean middle-aged man, whose appearance alone spoke of his cunning nature.

”What do you want to trade for this Blood Land Lotus?” Ye Haochuan asked with a smile.

Here, trade is mostly barter; talking about money would mean coming to the wrong place.

”I’ve always been fair in my dealings. Just offer one portion of a third-grade Miraculous Elixir’s ingredient, and it’s a deal,” the middle-aged man said ”generously.”

Ye Haochuan nearly burst out laughing, saying, ”This Blood Land Lotus can only be used to make second-grade spirit pills, yet you want to trade it for third-grade Spiritual Medicine ingredients. Aren’t you a bit too ambitious?”

The grades of pills are sorted numerically from low to high, with first-grade Spirit Pills being the lowest, only useful to Postnatal Cultivators. Second-grade Spirit Pills are for Innate Cultivators, and third-grade Spirit Pills greatly benefit Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

The gap between second-grade and third-grade Spirit Pills is vast, and thus the ingredients for third-grade Spirit Pills are much more precious than those for second-grade ones. This middle-aged man was clearly trying to deceive those ignorant of the market value.

”How can you say that? Although the Blood Land Lotus can only be used for second-grade pills, it is indeed indispensable for alchemizing the Foundation Establishment Pill, and therefore, its value is naturally much higher than other second-grade ingredients,” the middle-aged man argued confidently.

However, Ye Haochuan just shook his head, not wanting to waste more words with him.

Although the Blood Land Lotus is an indispensable ingredient for the Foundation Establishment Pill, its value definitely does not compare to that of third-grade materials. Ye Haochuan possesses many third-grade materials but would not foolishly engage in such an unfair trade.

As he was about to leave, he heard a young man’s voice from behind.

”I have a Blood Land Lotus here, and if you need it, I can give it to you for free.”
