Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 1954: Chapter 1954: Isn’t This a Bit Much?

”Hehe, the youngsters these days are getting more and more daring, aren’t they? Just a mere Nascent Soul Peak, and he dares to attempt the Refinement of Profound Pill, truly...”

”Yes, indeed, the young man is quite brave, hahaha...”

”He really doesn’t know what he’s doing...”

”...”

Apart from that middle-aged man, several other cultivators in the crowd also looked at Ye Haochuan with disdain. Though their words varied, the underlying meaning was the same.

They were quite scornful of a Nascent Soul Peak cultivator wanting to buy the pill recipe for the Mysterious Pill, but this matter had no direct interest to them.

So, they just joined in the fun, using the opportunity to see which kind of cultivator would do such a foolish thing.

As for those cultivators whose cultivation levels hadn’t reached the Immortal Transformation Realm, they merely watched Ye Haochuan quietly, as if observing a monkey performing in a circus.

Do these Early Immortal Transformation guys really think they’re invincible?

Upon hearing these words, a flicker of killing intent flashed in Ye Haochuan’s eyes. Given his current cultivation, it wouldn’t take much effort for him to kill an Immortal Transformation Cultivator with less than a ten percent conversion rate.

However, his current goal was to purchase the ”Mysterious Pill Treasure Record,” not to vent his anger. Therefore, Ye Haochuan suppressed that flicker of killing intent.

He didn’t believe that such a big town would lack authorities. If he dared to kill and rob here today, he was sure the outcome would be anything but pleasant.

”Whether I can afford it is my business. Whether I can learn it after buying is also my business. Boss, you just need to tell me, how much is this ’Mysterious Pill Treasure Record’ worth in ruby crystals.

If I can’t afford it, I’ll naturally leave. If I can, I’ll definitely give you enough ruby crystals. Otherwise, why would I waste so many words with you here?”

Taking a deep breath to suppress his murderous intent, Ye Haochuan then spoke to the shopkeeper in a calm and composed manner.

”Hahaha, this kid’s angry now...”

The middle-aged man with a strange beast tattoo on his arm laughed heartily, patting his belly after hearing Ye Haochuan’s words.

”Hehe, kid, since you want to buy, let me tell you straight. I won’t exaggerate—this ’Mysterious Pill Treasure Record’ is worth six thousand seven hundred low-grade ruby crystals.”

The shopkeeper mocked, pointing at Ye Haochuan’s clothes, laughing loudly: ”Look at these clothes of yours, all together might add up to only dozens of ruby crystals.

Do you think you can afford this ’Mysterious Pill Treasure Record’? Heh, six thousand seven hundred low-grade ruby crystals. You couldn’t even gather that many by selling yourself.”

”Hahaha...”

The shopkeeper’s words made the watching cultivators laugh out loud. Of course, those who dared to voice out were all Immortal Transformation cultivators.

Whereas those below the Immortal Transformation realm could only stifle their laughter or watch Ye Haochuan with even more mocking and disdainful eyes.

”Six thousand seven hundred low-grade ruby crystals?”

Ye Haochuan was shocked. This ’Mysterious Pill Treasure Record’ was second-hand and still worth such a price. Its original value must have been tens of thousands of ruby crystals?

”Of course, if it weren’t for the fact that there are too few people who can perform alchemy nowadays, most wouldn’t even look at this book. Otherwise, the price of this ’Mysterious Pill Treasure Record’ could be several folds higher.”

With arms crossed, the shopkeeper’s mouth curled up arrogantly, the disdain in his eyes reaching its peak.

”Hahaha, boss, don’t put the kid in a tough spot. There’s no way he could afford six thousand seven hundred low-grade ruby crystals. Why not give him a discount maybe he’ll manage to buy it?”

”Hehe, yes, boss, give the kid a discount. He’s a Nascent Soul Peak expert. Maybe a small cut would make his ruby crystals sufficient?”

”...”

The Early Immortal Transformation cultivators onlookers egged on, urging the shopkeeper to give Ye Haochuan a discount.

Hearing these words and feeling disappointed, Ye Haochuan, who was about to leave, couldn’t help but pause and look back at the shopkeeper.

”Hehe, since everyone’s suggesting, I’ll cut the price.”

The shopkeeper laughed mockingly: ”Kid, if you can come up with five thousand low-grade ruby crystals, I’ll sell you the ’Mysterious Pill Treasure Record.’ How about that?”

”Five thousand?”

Hearing this price, Ye Haochuan was once again disheartened. Le Yao had only given him a little over three thousand low-grade ruby crystals earlier. He had already spent about a thousand procuring food and necessities.

With the remaining two thousand-plus low-grade ruby crystals and the prior sum of seventeen hundred, all he had was just thirty-seven hundred. How could he come up with five thousand low-grade ruby crystals?

”From your expression, you probably don’t have five thousand low-grade ruby crystals, do you?”

Seeing Ye Haochuan’s disappointed look, the shopkeeper couldn’t help but laugh out loud, while the other Immortal Transformation cultivators had been laughing so hard their stomachs were cramping.

Damn, with such an arrogant shopkeeper, I have to teach him a lesson today!

Watching the endlessly laughing shopkeeper, Ye Haochuan decided to give him a lesson to remind him not to look down on people.

Thinking this, Ye Haochuan’s eyes shifted, and with a deliberately calm demeanor, he said, ”Boss, can you wait for me? I’ll go ask someone for some ruby crystals and then come back to buy this ’Mysterious Pill Treasure Record.’ Don’t worry, I’ll definitely return.”

”Hehe, this kid doesn’t want to lose face without ruby crystals...”

”Hahaha... amusing, amusing...”

”...”

Hearing Ye Haochuan’s words, those Early Immortal Transformation cultivators laughed even more wildly, their laughter almost collapsing the nearby rooftops.

”Ask someone for ruby crystals? Isn’t that just begging?”

The shopkeeper laughed until tears streamed down his face, holding his belly and gasping for breath: ”How about this, I’ll give you an hour. If you can gather twenty-five hundred ruby crystals, I’ll sell it to you!”

”Ah... isn’t this... isn’t this inappropriate?”

Ye Haochuan was overjoyed at the shopkeeper’s words, but feigned a troubled expression, hesitantly saying.

”No worries... hahah... as long as you can come up with it, I’ll sell it to you. Haha... this kid is too funny...”

The shopkeeper tried hard to stifle his laughter, but despite his efforts, the laughter just kept flooding out of him like a deluge.
