Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 988: Chapter 987: I Think Offering Myself in Marriage Isn’t Too Bad! (3 Updates)

”You know alchemy?” The Crimson Wing Golden Tiger’s face was filled with disbelief upon hearing Ye Haochuan mention alchemy.

Ye Haochuan pursed his lips, as if he had already anticipated this. He directly summoned the Strange Fire King Cauldron and said, ”See this? This is my treasured cauldron for alchemy!”

”But the Enlightenment Pill is a top-tier third-grade Spirit Pill. How old are you? Are you telling me you’ve already become a high-level alchemist? Don’t waste my Heavenly Star Grass!” The Crimson Wing Golden Tiger was both delighted and worried.

”Come on, I just healed your injuries earlier. How could you not trust me?” Ye Haochuan retorted, annoyed. ”Besides, even if you eat the Heavenly Star Grass directly, it would still be a waste. Why not let me give it a shot?”

The Crimson Wing Golden Tiger hesitated for a moment. But after considering that if Ye Haochuan succeeded, his chances of reaching Core Formation would greatly increase, he eventually nodded in agreement.

Not all the ingredients for the Enlightenment Pill had been gathered, but the valley itself was a massive herb garden. The Crimson Wing Golden Tiger went out briefly and brought back everything needed, making Ye Haochuan suspect that this creature had a hidden herb garden somewhere. Otherwise, why didn’t they notice these herbs the last time?

To prevent another attack from the Hellfire that might disrupt Ye Haochuan’s alchemy, the Crimson Wing Golden Tiger took the initiative to patrol outside the cave.

Ye Haochuan calmed his mind, summoning the White Spirit Moxa Flame. Under precise control, the herbs in the Strange Fire King Cauldron were all melted down, extracting their most refined essences.

Finally, Ye Haochuan carefully placed the Heavenly Star Grass into the cauldron. If his earlier refinements had been somewhat casual, refining the Heavenly Star Grass was something he approached with utmost seriousness.

There was only one stalk of Heavenly Star Grass. If the fusion failed, finding another would take at least five years.

Soon, beads of sweat began to form on Ye Haochuan’s forehead. The effort was visibly draining him, leaving him slightly fatigued. But fortunately, the extraction process went smoothly, and a drop of vibrant green herbal essence was perfectly separated out.

”Phew~”

Ye Haochuan relaxed slightly, adjusted his mindset, and moved on to the next step.

Several colorful liquids were combined, forming a dark gray liquid.

The White Spirit Moxa Flame roared to life, enveloping the liquid. Any remaining moisture evaporated quickly, leaving only the purest essence of the herbs.

As the final stage of pill condensation approached—the most critical moment in the alchemy process—Ye Haochuan dared not let his guard down even for a second.

But just as the pill was about to form, it suddenly released a strong repulsion within the center. Fortunately, Ye Haochuan reacted swiftly, channeling a large amount of Longevity Spirit Qi into it, avoiding the catastrophe of a pill explosion.

Even so, he still felt the situation slipping out of his control. The six pills appeared as though they might explode at any moment.

”Damn it, I can’t control this! Is the pill explosion really unavoidable?” Ye Haochuan’s heart clenched.

While the heritage of the Holy Hand was remarkable, Ye Haochuan was still at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage. Forcibly refining a third-grade peak Spirit Pill was clearly testing his limits.

At this critical moment, Yige suddenly extended one of its branches and opened the pill furnace.

”Yige, what are you doing?” Ye Haochuan was both anxious and furious. He was already struggling to maintain control, and now Yige’s interference was surely going to ruin everything.

Yige didn’t reply. Instead, it snapped a twig from itself and squeezed out a drop of transparent liquid from the wound, dividing it into six portions and merging them with the six pills.

This action seemed to take a significant toll on Yige. The moment the liquid dripped down, its branches dimmed and withered, while its trunk drooped lifelessly.

Ye Haochuan had no time to dwell on this. At that instant, he noticed that the repulsion within the pills had mysteriously vanished. In just a moment, the six Enlightenment Pills were successfully condensed.

As the faint aroma of the pills filled the air, Ye Haochuan’s heart couldn’t help but tremble with excitement.

This batch of pills really had been a roller coaster ride!

Quickly putting the pills away, Ye Haochuan immediately checked Yige’s condition.

Yige’s aura was extremely weak, as if it were on the verge of death at any moment. Not daring to waste any time, Ye Haochuan took out the Earthly Primordial Mud, mixed it with water, and applied it to Yige’s roots.

The Earthly Primordial Mud had an excellent healing effect. Yige’s weak aura gradually improved, and in no time, it regained its former vitality.

Ye Haochuan used the White Spirit Moxa Flame to evaporate the water, but upon seeing the reduced amount of Earthly Primordial Mud, he felt a pang of distress.

”What did you just do?” Ye Haochuan asked, frowning.

”I used my Treant Essence Charm to help you refine the pills!”

”Treant Essence Charm? What’s that?”

”The Essence Charm is the lifeblood of treants, akin to the Essential Blood of your Human Clan. You might not know this, but we treants are also known as the Essence of Ten Thousand Trees, the leaders of all plant life. Our Essence Charm can mediate conflicts between plants.”

”Whoa, that’s unreal!” Ye Haochuan was genuinely astonished. ”You used such an important essence to help me refine pills? Don’t tell me you’ve fallen for me?”

”What are you talking about? We’re not even the same species, okay?” Yige replied irritably. ”I just didn’t want that dumb tiger to go on a rampage and kill us all if you failed.”

”Oh, that’s good. Honestly, I’m not into trees.” Placing a hand on his chest, Ye Haochuan feigned relief.

For some reason, Yige felt a slight flicker of indignation upon hearing this. Pouting, it stopped speaking.

”Did you succeed in refining the Enlightenment Pills?” The Crimson Wing Golden Tiger had already followed the scent of the pills back into the cave.

”Yep, they turned out great. Eat while they’re still warm; they should taste pretty good!” Ye Haochuan chuckled, handing over one of the Enlightenment Pills.

”Amazing!” The Crimson Wing Golden Tiger accepted the pill, almost moved to tears. It had been longing for this pill for a long time.

Just then, a crisp voice rang out, ”Where’s mine?”

Ye Haochuan turned to see Long Piaoying walking toward him with a bright smile.

”Oh? Immortal Aunt, you broke through?” Ye Haochuan asked in pleasant surprise.

”I just broke through. I’ve been stuck at Foundation Establishment Late Stage for nearly ten years. Who would’ve thought I’d break through so easily here!” Long Piaoying replied joyfully.

Ye Haochuan had been so focused on refining the pills earlier that he hadn’t even noticed the big commotion caused by her breakthrough.

Having been helped greatly by his Immortal Aunt multiple times, Ye Haochuan generously handed her an Enlightenment Pill.

”Immortal Aunt, I’ve helped you out so much. How are you planning to thank me?”

”How do you want me to thank you?” Long Piaoying asked with playful curiosity.

”I think marrying me would be a fitting reward!” Ye Haochuan joked with a sly grin.

”You want to woo me? Catch up to my cultivation level first!”
