Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 1619: Chapter 1619: Treasure Vault

Regarding Yang Sen’s question, Ye Haochuan didn’t really put it to heart. He was eagerly leading Langfan and the others to the location of the treasure vault.

This time, the Long Alliance was set for a windfall. Langfan, Ke Yan, Liu Sheng, Hu Zhong, Meng Rui, along with Ye Haochuan and Fan Qingyin, could choose four Treasure-Level Late Stage items and five Treasure-Level Mid-Stage items.

It’s worth mentioning that after Meng Rui learned what Gongsun Zhi did to Yin Meiyue, he decided never to return to the Phantom Sound Pavilion and joined the Long Alliance instead. So, his treasures also counted as belonging to the Long Alliance.

Besides these spirited individuals, Guan Ling was utterly frustrated. Although he was one of the Genius Seven Kills, he couldn’t participate in rescuing Yang Sen and Ye Hao due to an injury, so he missed out on the rewards.

”You don’t have to be discouraged, really. The cultivation techniques we take out are used by the Long Alliance, so you’ll be able to learn them as well...”

Ye Haochuan comforted him for a few moments, finally bringing a hint of a smile to Guan Ling’s face.

Before long, the group arrived at an unremarkable little house. It was nothing like the grandeur Ye Haochuan had imagined—it was just a solitary room. If not for the words ”Treasure Vault” written outside, they might have thought it was a restroom.

”Seriously, what good stuff can fit in such a small room? Are the two gentlemen joking with us?” Langfan couldn’t help but remark.

”What’s the situation? We’ll find out by going in, won’t we?” Ye Haochuan smirked and led the way inside.

The other six followed one after another. As for Guan Ling, Zi Mengqi, and others, they could only wait outside.

Inside the room was a young man in his thirties wearing loose, pajama-like clothes, looking drowsy and about to fall asleep.

”Jade Token!” The young man blandly uttered these words upon seeing Ye Haochuan and the others.

Ye Haochuan was long used to this kind of service attitude. This young man’s job was similar to those in secular public institutions; expecting good service was a dream.

Fortunately, Ye Haochuan didn’t mind this all that much. Acquiring treasures was the main thing.

Ye Haochuan took out the purple jade token and showed it to the young man.

Upon seeing the color of the jade token, the young man’s eyes widened in surprise, and his previously indifferent expression instantly vanished, replaced by a fawning smile.

”Forgive my ignorance, young master. Please don’t hold it against me!”

Ye Haochuan immediately understood what was happening. Just as Ye Hao had said, items of Treasure-Level Late Stage were quite rare indeed. Those who received such rewards were invariably major figures within Xuanmen.

The young man had been indifferent to Ye Haochuan and the others, probably assuming, seeing their young age and not particularly high cultivation, that they were just here to redeem some ordinary rewards.

Now that he confirmed they were distinguished guests, his tone naturally changed.

”Where can we go to choose the items we want to exchange?” Ye Haochuan didn’t want to waste words and went straight to the point.

”Please follow me!”

The young man laughed awkwardly and fiddled with something under the table. Suddenly, a floor tile behind the table shifted, revealing an entrance to a tunnel.

”No wonder there’s only this tiny space; the real treasure vault is underground!” Langfan laughed and jumped in without waiting for the young man to lead the way.

Ye Haochuan and the others didn’t hesitate either and jumped in one after another.

The young man was slightly embarrassed but didn’t dare to reprimand Ye Haochuan, this ”important person,” so he closed the tunnel entrance again and resumed his sleepy demeanor.

As they descended the tunnel, they went down more than a hundred meters before seeing a glimmer of light.

”No wonder it’s the place where Xuanmen stores treasures; it’s well hidden!” Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but sigh.

The treasure vault is the essence of a faction’s strength. The volume of good items in a vault typically indicates the power of the faction.

Among the three great sects of Xuanmen, the Ancient Martial Arts Sect is like the trunk, the Institute of Extensive Learning a thick branch, and the Phantom Sound Pavilion even lesser compared to the Institute.

So this treasure vault of the Ancient Martial Arts Sect is definitely the largest in Xuanmen. Compared to the ones Ye Haochuan plundered from the evil sects in the White Court Origin Realm last time, this is worlds apart.

The bottom of the tunnel is a vast hall, supported by columns carved with dragons, with two ancient, crimson doors. Each door is adorned with sixteen neatly arranged nail heads and two lion head knockers, all crafted from gold.

A large plaque above the door reads ”Treasure Vault” in gold leaf; the handwriting is sharp and grand, exuding a sense of majesty. Upon closer inspection, the signature is none other than Yang Sen.

”Truly worthy of being the head of the Institute of Extensive Learning; just these two words make the world look on in awe!” Fan Qingyin couldn’t help but sigh.

”Alright, we’re not here to appreciate calligraphy; let’s get inside!” Ye Haochuan smirked and pushed the door open.

The people inside were quite different from that young man’s casual demeanor earlier. Seeing Ye Haochuan and the others coming in, they promptly came forward to greet them.

However, Ye Haochuan’s attention was caught by someone else.

This was an elderly man who appeared exceptionally spirited—clearly a leader. This person was none other than the Patriarch of the Ji Family, Ji Song, whom Ye Haochuan had once encountered.

Back when Ye Haochuan embarked on the path of Divine Descent, this old man had fanned the flames.

”Well, isn’t it the top of the new Five Great Geniuses? Here to claim your rewards?” Ji Song, seeing Ye Haochuan, greeted with a smile.

In truth, the enmity between Ye Haochuan and the Ji Family was significant—from saving the Ji Family’s ”Twin Tigers” to later robbing Ji Tianyu’s inheritance and killing several Core Formation cultivators of the Ji Family.

If Ji Song looked at him with hostility, Ye Haochuan would understand. The old man’s enthusiasm made Ye Haochuan feel a bit puzzled.

Still, one shouldn’t hit a smiling face, so Ye Haochuan responded with a smile: ”I didn’t expect Lord Ji to be here. Have you perhaps received a reward as well?”

”Old me isn’t here to redeem rewards—managing the treasure vault is part of my duties as the chief deacon of the Ancient Martial Arts Sect,” Ji Song said with a laugh.

”Wow, what a job! Just browsing and borrowing treasures here would be absolute bliss!” Langfan couldn’t help but laugh.

He didn’t intend to mock Ji Song; he was just thinking that if he were Ji Song, he would definitely do it.

Ji Song wasn’t angry either and smiled, ”My young friend, you’re exaggerating. My Ji Family doesn’t need to stoop to such things!”

”Indeed, with the Ji Family’s vast resources, picking a random item from their collection is better than what’s here; why would you even look at these things?” Ye Haochuan quipped.

This remark, even with Ji Song’s deep reserve, caused him to change his expression slightly. Ye Haochuan’s words clearly implied embezzlement.
