Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 1151: Chapter 1150: Maybe I accidentally dug up his ancestral grave! (4th update)

At this moment, the other candidates were filled with admiration for Ye Haochuan. Even that Foundation Establishment Stage expert, who was at the same boundary as Ye Haochuan, felt he couldn’t see Ye Haochuan’s back from where he stood.

Indeed, from the beginning until now, Ye Haochuan had been leading them by a wide margin in every evaluation.

The person in charge’s gaze at Ye Haochuan kept changing, from initial disdain to later astonishment.

”My name is Shi Lezhi. It’s an honor to meet you today. I hope we can be friends,” the person in charge said, extending his hand, intending to befriend Ye Haochuan.

This was rarely seen in the Holy Medical Alliance examination hall; it’s uncommon for someone to make a proactive gesture of goodwill.

However, the medical skills Ye Haochuan had displayed were truly astonishing. Befriending such a person would never be a loss.

Lost his mind? Ye Haochuan chuckled, shook hands with him, and said, ”What a truly distinctive name!”

After shaking hands with him, Shi Lezhi leaned close to Ye Haochuan’s ear and lowered his voice, ”As a friend, I must remind you, today’s evaluation seems like someone up top is intentionally targeting you.”

”Oh?” Ye Haochuan said with surprise, ”How do you know they’re targeting me and not others?”

In this evaluation, the difficulty had been increased for each segment. Naturally, those workers from the Holy Medical Alliance knew what was going on.

Shi Lezhi said, ”From the first assessment, I guessed it was you. Otherwise, when you passed, the formation in the Time Forest should have stopped, but afterwards...”

”Afterwards, what happened?” Ye Haochuan asked.

”Afterwards, the performance of the other candidates was mediocre, so it’s impossible for them to be targeted. Only you, far ahead, where they could not catch up,” Shi Lezhi explained.

Ye Haochuan nodded and said, ”Your observation skills aren’t weak!”

Shi Lezhi said, ”But I’m really curious as to who you’ve offended to make them target you so specifically.”

Ye Haochuan said, ”Apart from He Qing, I shouldn’t have offended anyone else in the Holy Medical Alliance.”

”Elder He?” Shi Lezhi suddenly understood and said, ”No wonder. Elder He looks gentle and modest, but he holds grudges more than anyone else.”

”I’ll remind you once more, the elders raised the difficulty for the first three evaluations, so for the final evaluation, I fear they won’t let you pass easily. It’s just that I don’t know which part they’ll make harder.”

Ye Haochuan shrugged and said, ”Let them come at me. I enjoy taking on challenging tasks!”

With Shi Lezhi befriending Ye Haochuan, they chatted leisurely as others diagnosed and prepared prescriptions, passing the dull time.

Finally, the evaluation time ended, with three participants’ prescriptions proving to be significantly flawed, leading to their elimination, while the other three barely passed.

Next, it was time for the fourth evaluation, also the final one—alchemy!

Shi Lezhi led everyone to a large alchemy field and addressed them, ”As medical practitioners, not only do we need to diagnose and prescribe remedies, sometimes we must personally brew them. This requires control over ingredients and timing. Alchemy is the ultimate test of one’s control in these matters!”

Immediately, many staff members brought over alchemy furnaces, one for each person, and then distributed two sets of raw materials to everyone.

Shi Lezhi said, ”In front of you are two sets of raw materials for the Body-Strengthening Pill, and you have two attempts at alchemy.”

Given that the candidates’ cultivation levels weren’t high, the pills for this evaluation were all the most basic ones.

Of course, the Holy Medical Alliance wouldn’t give out two sets of raw materials for free. Everyone paid a fee when registering, which covered these materials as if they were buying them themselves, with the Alliance merely providing the furnace cauldron.

”You have two hours for alchemy. If there are no questions, then let’s begin!”

With Shi Lezhi’s words, the other three started alchemy, channeling True Qi or Spiritual Energy to ignite fierce flames underneath the alchemy furnace, then cautiously placing the raw materials into the furnace cauldron.

Meanwhile, Ye Haochuan kept frowning, and for a moment, he made no moves.

Shi Lezhi came over to check and discovered that the furnace cauldron Ye Haochuan was using was two levels lower than the other three’s. This required Ye Haochuan to have exceptional control over timing; otherwise, it could explode easily.

Shi Lezhi said, ”I guessed right. The elders are still targeting you, but their targeting is quite blatant.”

The previous targeting was not just directed at Ye Haochuan but had raised everyone’s difficulty. However, this time, they openly increased difficulty just for Ye Haochuan.

”Using a furnace cauldron of this quality to make pills is indeed difficult. Alas... I cannot help you with this...”

Ye Haochuan shook his head and said, ”It’s more than that.”

Following Ye Haochuan’s gaze, Shi Lezhi saw that even the raw materials Ye Haochuan received were different from others’.

The quality of Ye Haochuan’s raw materials was several grades lower, something Ye Haochuan would usually discard as waste.

”This...” Shi Lezhi was speechless for a long time before asking, ”Tell me honestly, did you get someone from Elder He’s family pregnant?”

”Hey, do I seem like someone with such poor taste?”

”Then why is he targeting you like this?” In Shi Lezhi’s understanding, using such a furnace cauldron with those raw materials made even creating the simplest Body-Strengthening Pill extremely difficult!

Ye Haochuan thought for a moment, then said, ”I might have accidentally disturbed his family tomb at some point, somewhere.”

Even now, Ye Haochuan was extremely frustrated. If it weren’t for having his own aces, today’s pill truly wouldn’t be able to be made!

There was no choice; Ye Haochuan had to make do because he couldn’t confront the Holy Medical Alliance to argue, asking for a change of cauldron or materials was just a dream!

He channeled Spiritual Energy to ignite a flame beneath the furnace cauldron, carefully controlling it for fear of the furnace breaking.

Then, he slowly added the raw materials into the furnace cauldron.

If soldiers come, tackle them, water floods, use soil to block it, if you treat me as a fool, even if you give me waste materials, I can still turn waste into treasure!

In the loft above, He Qing watched the alchemy field without blinking. Tu Zhengxiang poured him a cup of tea and said, ”Old He, what’s there to see? Have some tea, relax!”

Fu Pingyang also laughed, ”Yes, we’ve lowered his furnace and materials by several grades. Making this Body-Strengthening Pill is impossible for him; the cauldron might explode at any moment.”

He Qing seemed somewhat distracted, a sense of unease looming in his heart.

”But... see, even though Ye Haochuan looks serious, his eyes unmistakably emit a sense of confidence,” He Qing said worriedly. He had witnessed Ye Haochuan’s alchemy skills firsthand in the Sub-Thunder Element Dimension Realm, where he shone so brightly it almost put them out of business!
