Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 1152: Chapter 1151: Playing Rogue, Right? (Part 5)

Ye Haochuan was certainly confident. Even though his alchemy furnace and raw materials were several levels lower than others, he was confident that he could refine a Body-Strengthening Pill.

Generally speaking, refining pills requires extracting the essence from various herbs and then combining them.

The essence in each herb is a fixed amount, and with ordinary extraction methods, a part will always be lost, but it is still enough for a single pill.

However, the herbs that Ye Haochuan obtained were several levels lower, meaning they contained relatively less essence, some even less than half compared to others.

Moreover, due to the quality of the alchemy furnace, the loss of essence during the refining process was even more severe for Ye Haochuan, making successful refinement almost impossible.

Ye Haochuan carefully threw a piece of Snow Grass into the furnace, but the ordinary flame in the furnace never satisfied him; it could not maximize the extraction of the Snow Grass essence.

Spiritual Energy was activated in his palm, and suddenly a white fierce flame burst out, replacing the furnace’s fire.

Ye Haochuan had attained mastery over the White Spirit Moxa Flame, immediately extracting the remaining essence from the Snow Grass.

Although some essence still escaped, it was far better compared to others.

When the Snow Grass turned to powder, a glistening liquid appeared in the furnace. Ye Haochuan shook his head and murmured, ”Even with the White Spirit Moxa Flame, the amount of essence is still insufficient to refine a single Body-Strengthening Pill.”

Immediately, Ye Haochuan added a second batch of Snow Grass into the furnace, extracting the essence once again.

Shi Lezhi exclaimed from the side, ”What are you doing?”

Using two batches of raw materials increases the difficulty significantly! Even with identical herbs, there will be differences. That slight difference increases the purification challenge, requiring exceptional skill to purify two distinct essences to different degrees simultaneously.

Moreover, by doing so, Ye Haochuan only had one chance to refine the pill.

Seeing Shi Lezhi’s surprise, Ye Haochuan helplessly said, ”Even if I extract every bit of essence from a single batch, it still won’t be enough to refine a Body-Strengthening Pill.”

He had no other option; only by doing this might he gather enough essence for a single pill.

Shi Lezhi opened his mouth but said nothing in the end. Given the situation, there seemed to be no better solution.

Ye Haochuan combined two batches of materials, each time using two identical herbs. Although there were some differences between the herbs, he remained focused, finding purification not too challenging.

The liquid essence in the furnace increased, and the furnace glowed red-hot.

Shi Lezhi admired Ye Haochuan’s purification technique and the wonderfulness of the White Spirit Moxa Flame, worrying for him, ”Be careful, your white flame is more potent than ordinary fire, so be careful not to burn the furnace out.”

”It won’t happen!” Ye Haochuan replied, skillfully controlling the White Spirit Moxa Flame, able to freely adjust the temperature in different parts.

Despite the furnace being of poor quality, Ye Haochuan only needed to increase the inner flame temperature to extract the essence while lowering the outer temperature to keep the furnace within its tolerance, preventing any incidents.

Above the loft, He Qing solemnly said, ”Look, he used two raw material batches together.”

Tu Zhengxiang leisurely drank his tea and said slowly, ”Regardless of how difficult it is to purify two batches simultaneously, his materials likely won’t yield enough essence even if used together.”

Fu Pingyang shook his head and said, ”Old Tu, take a look, what kind of fire is he using?”

Tu Zhengxiang glanced downstairs, surprised, ”White flame?”

Fu Pingyang said, ”That should be the White Spirit Moxa Flame from the Sub-Fire Dimension Realm. With it, the two batches should yield enough essence for a Body-Strengthening Pill.”

Tu Zhengxiang asked, ”How did he manage to harness the White Spirit Moxa Flame?”

Fu Pingyang said, ”Now, it depends on his alchemy skills. With good control of the flame and purification skills, he might just succeed in refining a Body-Strengthening Pill.”

He Qing didn’t speak because he didn’t want to admit the fact that Ye Haochuan’s alchemy skills were extremely high—back in the Sub-Thunder Element Dimension Realm, he had succeeded in every pill refinement attempt!

In the alchemy field, there was suddenly a loud bang and crackling sound from a certain alchemy furnace.

Someone shook his head and sighed, ”Ah, almost succeeded, but the pill exploded at the last step!”

Helpless, he could only start refining again.

Soon after, there was another loud bang, and another person had a pill explosion.

Ye Haochuan’s refining speed slowed considerably, progressing steadily without even a hint of panic as he watched the other three succeed one after another.

Time slowly passed as Ye Haochuan carefully manipulated the White Spirit Moxa Flame, gently nurturing the liquid essence in the furnace. Finally, the sparkling liquid gradually solidified, and a faint aroma wafted from the furnace.

At the very last moment of the allotted time, a pill flew into Ye Haochuan’s hand. The fragrance was overwhelming, and it was perfectly pure. Although it was the simplest and most basic Body-Strengthening Pill, it was clear that Ye Haochuan’s refinement was of the highest quality!

”It really worked!” Shi Lezhi was filled with astonishment, silently thinking that Ye Haochuan’s medical skills and alchemy techniques were a notch above even some of the top Medical Path experts of the Tu Family. He secretly rejoiced at having befriended Ye Haochuan, confident that it would be greatly beneficial in the future.

”I didn’t expect him to succeed!” He Qing wore a sullen face, appearing gloomy. Despite the heavy restrictions placed on the four assessments, Ye Haochuan managed to pass!

Tu Zhengxiang casually remarked, ”No matter; if the Holy Medical Alliance doesn’t want to give him a license, they can find countless excuses!”

Immediately, Tu Zhengxiang ordered his men to relay the message.

In the examination hall, as the four individuals waited to receive their licenses, suddenly a staff member approached Ye Haochuan and said, ”Sorry, we cannot issue your license at the moment.”

What?

Ye Haochuan grew furious; failing the exam wasn’t enough, so they intended to use this shameless method?

Shi Lezhi asked, ”What is the reason?”

The person replied, ”The Elders suspect him of cheating during the exam, so an investigation is needed.”

”How long will it take?”

”Indefinitely!”

Damn!

Ye Haochuan immediately roared, ”Who the hell is suspecting me? Let them come out and confront me!”

He started a commotion, and Shi Lezhi added, ”I monitored throughout the exam; there was no possibility of him cheating.”

However, since the Elders had made their judgment, the staff had no choice but to temporarily withhold Ye Haochuan’s license.

Ye Haochuan refused to let it go, arguing fiercely.

At this moment, an elder appeared and asked, ”What is the matter?”

Ye Haochuan recognized the person—it was Tu Yang’s uncle, who had asked him to take over the bet between the Tu Family and the Holy Hand.

Shi Lezhi explained the situation in detail. The elder said, ”Issue the license to him. The Successor of the Holy Hand passing a simple assessment doesn’t require cheating!”

”But...” Shi Lezhi anxiously looked at He Qing, who had just walked down from the loft.
