Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 1979: Chapter 1979: Using soporific poison

”Who goes there?” The Guard Commander became instantly alert, swiftly rushing towards the direction of the demon beast’s roar, releasing a range-based attack technique.

This technique wasn’t particularly powerful, but once it touched a person or object, its form would change.

This Guard Commander was evidently someone of exceptional insight, possessing knowledge of methods specifically targeting invisibility.

Fortunately, Ye Haochuan had already fled decisively, otherwise, he would have been caught red-handed.

At this moment, due to the extensive consumption from maintaining his invisibility, Ye Haochuan had quickly escaped from the group, hiding in a nearby forest.

He watched this scene from afar, his expression grave.

With just these two demon beasts and the Guard Commander’s level of vigilance, there was no way for him to approach, let alone rescue Long Keyue.

”Damn it, what should I do?” Ye Haochuan’s mind raced, but he couldn’t think of a good plan.

To approach that carriage, he must deal with those two exceptionally perceptive demon beasts and then avoid the Guard Commander.

Avoiding the Guard Commander was slightly more manageable. After all, although this person was highly cultivated, he couldn’t constantly use techniques to probe his surroundings.

The key issue was those two demon beasts. With them acting as ”radars,” the Guard Commander could react swiftly.

But how could he incapacitate two demon beasts at the Immortal Transformation Stage without anyone noticing?

”Got it!” Ye Haochuan’s eyes suddenly lit up as he took out that Pill Secret Manual and quickly flipped through it.

Although this manual was incomplete, the section on refining the Mysterious Pill was unexpectedly detailed. In addition to pills related to cultivation and healing, it included some rather unconventional, seemingly useless pills.

Among them was one that could cause demon beasts to secrete hormones actively, inciting certain urges.

When Ye Haochuan first saw the formula for this pill, he found it very strange, wondering who would be so idle as to contemplate the reproductive issues of demon beasts.

Now it seemed that this Mysterious Pill had significant uses.

This pill had a major advantage: it wasn’t easily detectable. Demon beasts had senses far beyond ordinary humans. If using poison, it might not bypass the beasts’ perception.

Furthermore, even if he successfully poisoned the two demon beasts to death, it would quickly draw the Guard Commander’s attention, making him cautious, which was not conducive for Ye Haochuan’s infiltration.

If possible, Ye Haochuan would prefer to also poison the Guard Commander, resolving everything in one go. But currently, he didn’t have the means.

Firstly, because the toxic herbs needed to concoct the poison were precisely what he lacked in his ring. Secondly, the Guard Commander was exceedingly vigilant, and in all the time at camp, he’d never seen him drink a sip of water or eat a bite of food, making it very difficult to poison him.

Having made up his mind, Ye Haochuan quickly dashed out to a certain distance, confirmed he wouldn’t be discovered by the group, then found a secluded spot, took out the Pill Furnace, and began preparing the pills.

Refining the Mysterious Pill was much more challenging than the pills he had made before.

Whether it was the alchemy technique or flame control, both were much more difficult.

Fortunately, the ’Demon Desire Pill’ he needed to refine this time was among the least challenging of the Mysterious Pills.

He quickly prepared the required herbs from the abundant supplies he’d acquired from the Gu Family’s Treasure Vault.

Then he summoned the Purple Lotus Spirit Flame and swiftly extracted the essence and spirit charm from the herbs.

This process took Ye Haochuan a full half-hour. Fortunately, it was completed without incident.

The next step, blending the essence and spirit charm harmoniously, was much more complicated.

To fuse different ingredients and effectively enhance their aura and effects rather than wasting their potency through clashes, required meticulous skill.

During his first attempt at alchemy, Ye Haochuan made a mistake at this very step, failing completely.

After several attempts, he finally succeeded in blending the spirit essence fluid.

Proceeding further proved even more arduous, and despite several tries, Ye Haochuan couldn’t succeed.

With the time having passed into the late night already, Ye Haochuan couldn’t afford to waste any more time in alchemy. If dawn came, his invisibility ability would be unusable. If he wanted to rescue Long Keyue, he would have to wait another day.

For Long Keyue, who was trapped deep in enemy territory, a day’s delay could be lethal.

Unable to successfully refine the pill, Ye Haochuan had no choice but to settle for using the successfully blended essence fluid.

When Ye Haochuan re-entered the convoy, most of the servants were already asleep. Only the remaining half of the guards were still alert.

Ye Haochuan quickly infiltrated, approaching the largest carriage. With his previous experience, Ye Haochuan dared not come too close and stopped thirty meters from the carriage.

At this moment, the two demon beasts were still wide awake with no sign of drowsiness. The Guard Commander also stood unwaveringly outside the carriage.

At a distance of thirty meters, delivering the pill into the demon beasts’ mouths was seemingly impossible.

However, it wasn’t entirely without method.

After observing the two demon beasts, Ye Haochuan came up with a plan.

In the next moment, he tossed the drop of transparent liquid with his hand.

Drip~

A slight sound of water was heard.

”Who?” The Guard Commander’s sensitivity exceeded Ye Haochuan’s expectations. He quickly ran to the location of the sound and began examining it thoroughly.

It was a large stone bowl filled with water for the two demon beasts.

Seeing the ripples in the water, the Guard Commander’s brow furrowed slightly. He dipped an iron needle in the water, brought it to his nose, and sniffed carefully.

Damn, is this guy a poison expert too?

Ye Haochuan felt cold sweat break out as he watched the Guard Commander’s action.

If the Guard Commander discovered something unusual in the water, Ye Haochuan’s entire plan would collapse in an instant.

Ye Haochuan clenched his sweaty palms, nervously watching the Guard Commander’s every move.

The Guard Commander sniffed lightly and found nothing unusual. He then lightly touched the needle with his tongue and tasted it carefully.

This method of testing for poison seemed foolish but was actually very effective. The poison on the needle’s tip was minimal, and by lightly licking, even less poison was ingested. Even with the most potent toxin, in such a small amount, it wouldn’t be enough to harm a human.

Moments later, the Guard Commander’s brow slowly relaxed, and he returned to his post reassured.

Ye Haochuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had chosen a poison that only affected demon beasts and had no effect on humans. Otherwise, he would have surely been discovered.

Having deceived the Guard Commander’s inspection, all that was left was to wait.

Instead of continually using his invisibility and consuming spiritual energy, Ye Haochuan hid in a concealed tent. With most of the camp asleep and his ability to conceal his aura, very few could detect his presence.

Before long, Ye Haochuan heard some snarls filled with strange pleasure, and his eyes lit up, knowing that his plan was halfway to success.
