Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 1177: Chapter 1176: Trouble, There’s a Master! (3 more)

”You’re leaving?” Ye Haochuan showed no surprise, his expression calm as he spoke.

When Long Piaoying had just broken through to Core Formation, he had mentioned going to the Sub-Shaking Dimension Realm to seek development. Having stayed in the Long Alliance for this long, it indeed was time to go.

Long Piaoying nodded gently and said, ”I told you, I’ll be waiting for you inside!”

”Don’t worry, I won’t let you down. When my cultivation surpasses yours, let’s see what excuses you have then.” Ye Haochuan chuckled.

Long Piaoying’s pretty face slightly blushed, yet unexpectedly, she didn’t retort. Instead, she changed the subject and said, ”After I leave, please take care of Zixuan for me.”

”Don’t worry, your disciple is my disciple; I’ll be sure to train her well.” Ye Haochuan grinned mischievously.

”I warn you, don’t you dare bully her!” Long Piaoying suddenly became stern and said, ”By the way, she suddenly went abroad this time without telling me. I’m worried she might encounter trouble.”

”She went abroad?” Ye Haochuan asked with some curiosity.

Long Piaoying shook her head, ”I don’t know either. It’s said to be related to her sister. She didn’t explain it clearly to me before hastily leaving.”

”Qingxuan?” Ye Haochuan’s heart tightened suddenly. Since Lin Qingxuan was sent abroad by her parents, Ye Haochuan hadn’t seen her. With Lin Zixuan suddenly going abroad now, could it be that something happened to her?

”She’s just going to study, so there shouldn’t be any issues, right?” Ye Haochuan consoled himself. ”Besides, even if there’s anything, with Lin Zixuan there, she should be able to handle it.”

Lin Zixuan is now also an Innate Expert, so dealing with some small matters shouldn’t be a problem.

Ye Haochuan instinctively didn’t want to think on the negative side, which at least brought some peace to his mind.

After chatting with Long Piaoying for a bit, she headed towards the Sub-Shaking Dimension Realm.

Ye Haochuan found Huang Hongfei, the medicinal cultivator who joined the Long Alliance at the start and was now falling behind in cultivation and not very skilled in alchemy.

This time Ye Haochuan found him to appoint him responsible for the preparation of medicinal cuisine at the shop. The Heavenly Fragrant Dragon Herb is just the most basic herb, which shouldn’t be difficult for Huang Hongfei to handle.

After all, Ye Haochuan had other important tasks to attend to and couldn’t just spend all day at the Medicinal Cuisine Shop. Assigning this to Huang Hongfei would allow him to retreat anytime.

”Hierarch, I don’t want to stew porridge; I want to learn alchemy from you!” Huang Hongfei pouted upon hearing about the shop job.

From the initial formation of the Long Alliance by seven people, he always had the lowest presence in the team. Ye Haochuan’s medicinal skills were just too superior, leaving him no room to shine.

Later on, Langfan, Nong Quan, and others advanced in cultivation, leaving him still at the Innate Early Stage. He also couldn’t break through to the Middle Level Alchemist in alchemy.

No matter how one looked at it, he was doomed to be the lowest tier of the Long Alliance, which made him both worried and frustrated. Recently, he’d been locking himself in his room trying to break through in alchemy but without much success.

”Actually, to learn alchemy, besides locking yourself in a room to practice, you should also try other things! Searching for a chariot behind closed doors won’t make you a master!”

Ye Haochuan advised, ”And you really think medicinal cuisine is easy to make? It requires not only a profound familiarity with various herbs but also extremely precise control of the heat.

If one day you can make medicinal cuisine at my level, you’d have reached the Middle Level Alchemist status!”

”Really?” Huang Hongfei was somewhat tempted but hesitated.

”Of course it’s true! What benefit would I have in deceiving you?” Ye Haochuan said impatiently.

He had always somewhat blamed himself for not caring enough for the brothers who first followed him. This time, approaching Huang Hongfei was also an attempt at compensation.

With Ye Haochuan’s assurance, Huang Hongfei felt relieved and agreed immediately.

Ye Haochuan took Huang Hongfei to the Medicinal Cuisine Shop and had him practice in the kitchen. While practicing, Ye Haochuan guided him hand in hand.

Huang Hongfei wasn’t lacking in talent, but he paled in comparison to a prodigy like Ye Haochuan.

With Ye Haochuan’s simple guidance, he soon became proficient in making various medicinal cuisines. However, mastering the control of heat required long-term meticulous practice.

By the afternoon meal time, Chuanmei Medicinal Cuisine Shop was even busier than at noon. Many who had eaten there at noon returned in the evening with friends and family.

But what puzzled Ye Haochuan was that the Su Family Medicinal Cuisine Shop across the street was also doing quite well at night, though not as well as Chuanmei, it wasn’t far off either.

”Could they have hired a medicinal cultivator as well?” Ye Haochuan wondered, planning to investigate, but suddenly felt a chill down his spine, as if being watched by a demon.

”Not good, there’s an expert here!”

Ye Haochuan’s heart tightened, and he quickly rushed out of the Medicinal Cuisine Shop. He didn’t want to risk any danger coming near Xiao Haimei or Han Xue’er, who were the most important people in his heart.

Sprinting away quickly, Ye Haochuan soon left the bustling city area. He stopped at an abandoned construction site.

”Come out!”

”You’ve chosen your burial place well!” a masked man slowly appeared in front of Ye Haochuan, his voice sounding like a middle-aged man.

”Do we have a grudge?” Ye Haochuan asked calmly.

”Not really a grudge, just fulfilling a commission,” the masked man said coldly.

”I have quite a few people harboring grudges against me. Who’s commission are you under?”

”Out of all the people I’ve killed, you’re the one who talks the most!” The masked man sneered. ”Although you are doomed, I don’t want to waste time talking to you. If you have questions, ask King Yama in the underworld!”

Before the words were fully spoken, a Halberd of Heaven and Earth appeared in his hand.

”I always thought those wielding the Halberd of Heaven and Earth were heroes like Lv Bu, but I didn’t expect someone like you, who hides your face,” Ye Haochuan scoffed.

The masked man chuckled, ”The mask is just for convenience.”

As he spoke, his hands never stopped. He stepped forward rapidly, his Halberd of Heaven and Earth swirling around, full of might.

Ye Haochuan suddenly felt unprecedented pressure. Although this masked man was also at the Core Formation Early Stage, his every move exuded a killing intent that made one’s heart tremble.

His strength might not surpass Liu Chengyu’s, but if Liu Chengyu were to fight him, he wouldn’t survive five moves.

This was someone who had crawled out of a pile of corpses. His cultivation techniques weren’t flashy, and his moves appeared ordinary, but every one was a killing strike.

It could be said that he was a professional assassin!

Clang~ Clang~

Ye Haochuan, gripping the Divine Concealment Sword, quickly blocked several attacks from the masked man.

But the masked man’s changes in moves were too swift. A moment’s negligence led to a long blood-red slash across Ye Haochuan’s chest. Had he not retreated quickly, this halberd would have cleaved him in two.

Damn, why is he so fast?

Ye Haochuan’s palms were slick with cold sweat.
