Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 1622: Chapter 1622: I Can’t Figure Out What This Stuff Is Made Of!

As Ye Haochuan lamented the lack of power, Ji Song’s face turned slightly green.

This ground, after all, was protected by a shield he had strengthened. A protective shield enhanced by a Nascent Soul Peak Cultivator, to be pierced by a Core Formation Peak Cultivator — it was a hit to his reputation.

Of course, this was also because he hadn’t exerted his full strength. But still, a breach was a breach, and no excuse could justify it.

Just at this moment, Ye Haochuan’s comment made him even more embarrassed.

”This kid’s potential is just too great, he must be eliminated sooner rather than later!” Ji Song murmured inaudibly.

”Although the power was lacking a bit, there’s no doubt that I won!” Ye Haochuan laughed gleefully.

Ji Song, however, said no more, instead clapping and praising: ”It seems your title as the number one genius really isn’t just for show. Ye Xiao’s defeat is not unjust, I am indeed impressed.”

Fan Qingyin, on the side, was already dumbfounded, feeling that Ye Haochuan was not human.

Good heavens, is this still a Treasure-Level Peak cultivation technique? Why does it seem so basic in Ye Haochuan’s hands?

Upon recalling her earlier worries, she realized they were quite unnecessary.

Actually, how would she know that this was Ye Haochuan’s first attempt at a Treasure-Level Peak cultivation technique, and he wasn’t very confident either.

However, a lack of confidence doesn’t mean he wouldn’t take a gamble, because this was definitely a risk-free opportunity.

He could memorize the entire cultivation technique even if he couldn’t master it within an hour. Even if he lost and returned the secret manual, the contents would remain in his mind.

There was nothing to lose in a loss, but a win would bring many benefits, only a fool wouldn’t take it.

”Elder Ji, where are my cultivation technique and treasure?” Ye Haochuan, overjoyed, extended his hand to Ji Song to claim his rewards.

Ji Song wasn’t angry, instead, he smiled as he retrieved a secret manual from his ring, handing it to Ye Haochuan.

”Star Plucking Hand? Looks quite impressive!” Surveying the secret manual, Ye Haochuan was delighted.

Ji Song hadn’t deceived him, the Star Plucking Hand was indeed a Treasure-Level Late Stage cultivation technique, and its power wasn’t small.

He hadn’t expected that his visit to the Treasure Vault would yield an exquisite secret manual at Treasure-Level Peak and opportunistically earn another Treasure-Level Late Stage cultivation technique — quite the haul.

Ji Song’s face bore no trace of loss from giving up items, and he smiled again as he retrieved a gourd from his ring, saying: ”This Nahai Treasure Gourd has a space vast enough to contain an ocean. Additionally, it can absorb some of the power of cultivation techniques, making it an excellent defensive magical treasure.”

”Oh? That amazing?” Ye Haochuan was immediately interested, examining the gourd closely. Then he struck with a burst of Gang Wind Thunder, and the gourd actually absorbed it.

Ye Haochuan increased the power, releasing a Treasure-Level Mid-Stage Heart Thunder. The treasure gourd accepted it all, absorbing it without any issue.

”It’s a great item!”

Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but marvel, then he gauged Ji Song. This old fellow must be up to something, giving him such fine treasures.

Could it be he has seen my potential and wants to reconcile with me?

Ye Haochuan pondered inwardly.

If he truly wanted to reconcile, it would be a good thing. Having dealt with the Ji Family before, he hadn’t suffered any losses. As long as the Ji Family bore him no ill will, he welcomed having another friend.

”This magical treasure is indeed formidable, but it has a flaw: it can only absorb pure attribute techniques, and has no effect on physical or spiritual energy attacks such as stick and fist strikes,” Ji Song cautioned.

Ye Haochuan felt a bit disappointed but upon rethinking, if it could absorb any attack, it wouldn’t just be a Treasure-Level Late Stage treasure, it would be comparable to an Immortal Artifact.

”By the way, the gourd currently contains a liquid necessary for refining the Star Plucking Hand. Every time you use the Star Plucking Hand, applying this liquid to your hand will greatly enhance its power.”

Ji Song added: ”Initially, using this liquid may cause some discomfort. But you shouldn’t worry too much; after using it a few times, you will get used to it.”

”Oh? Something like this, too?” Ye Haochuan raised an eyebrow, feeling a hint of doubt.

He quickly poured some of the black liquid from the gourd and examined it carefully.

”Huh? Strange, I can’t discern the components of this stuff!” Ye Haochuan exclaimed.

His skill in the Medical Path was not weak, yet he couldn’t identify the components of the black liquid, which seemed odd to him.

Even though he couldn’t see through it, he didn’t sense any abnormality or toxicity in the liquid, so he felt at ease.

After explaining everything, Ji Song didn’t say much to Ye Haochuan and let Fan Qingyin bring out the selected items.

Fan Qingyin then took out a shiny white longsword from her ring and handed it to Ji Song.

”Are you crazy? Don’t you already have the Green Feather Sword? Why take another sword?” Ye Haochuan was worried at the sight.

This longsword, though a Treasure-Level Late Stage item, was clearly not on the same level as the Green Feather Sword. He originally thought Fan Qingyin would choose a cultivation technique, but he didn’t expect her to pick something so useless.

Fan Qingyin didn’t respond, instead urging Ji Song to help her remove the secret technique.

Ji Song didn’t hesitate and with a wave, a crisp ”ka” sounded, the sword’s glow immediately intensified, exuding a sharp aura.

”Here you go!” Fan Qingyin handed the longsword to Ye Haochuan, saying, ”Your sword’s broken, use this for now!”

”You silly girl, the Divine Concealment Sword can be repaired even if it’s broken. You finally obtained the Jade Token, why not choose a cultivation technique?” Ye Haochuan was moved, but spoke sternly.

With an indifferent attitude, Fan Qingyin replied, ”You know I have a legacy, right? I don’t lack cultivation techniques!”

Ye Haochuan chuckled wryly, who would claim to have too many cultivation techniques?

He knew well that Fan Qingyin was saying this to ease his mind. Despite the sentiment, he couldn’t refuse her goodwill and accepted the longsword named ”Snow Edge.”

Yet, the affection he held for the Divine Concealment Sword was indelible; he was determined to repair it whenever the opportunity arose.

Langfan and the others didn’t know how long they’d be, so Ye Haochuan used the time to practice the Star Plucking Hand.

Just as Ji Song mentioned, applying the black liquid really boosted its power, and the so-called discomfort was merely a slight tingling sensation, easily dismissed.

After several hours, Langfan, Meng Rui, and the others finally emerged. Every one of them had cultivation techniques in hand.

Apparently, they had coordinated, for among the five techniques, there were two attack techniques, two defensive techniques, and one movement technique.

With these techniques as the cornerstone, the rise of the Long Alliance seemed imminent.
