Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 2248: Chapter 2248: You Can Only Rely on Luck

”This statue, could it be the Medicine King? And inside this iron box, does it contain the secret treasury of the Medicine King?” Gu Guangyi’s eyes were full of astonishment as he looked at the statue in surprise.

He hadn’t expected that entering the Medicine King Tomb would be so easy this time. Despite all his preparations, they had all been in vain.

”It must be because the Family Head is so wise and heroic that the heavens were moved and gifted our Gu Family a treasure!” A sneaky-looking cultivator suddenly said with a sly grin.

”Congratulations to the Family Head, the Gu Family is sure to shine brightly soon!” Everyone around echoed in agreement.

Only Gu Dewei seemed lost in thought, carefully examining the statue several times with a serious expression.

Gu Guangyi didn’t notice this at all and was full of self-satisfaction as he turned his gaze towards Xu He, already filled with murderous intent.

”Mr. Xu, your task is complete this time. Will you leave on your own, or shall I see you off?” Gu Guangyi laughed sinisterly.

Xu He looked shocked, fearfully asking, ”You... you intend to silence me?”

”The secrets of the Medicine King Tomb will naturally remain with the Gu Family; no one else can know.”

Gu Guangyi mocked, ”You fool, I heard that last time you stupidly ran into the secret treasury entrance without knowing your peril. It’s the same now; did you really think I’d pay you a hefty reward after it was over?”

”Haha!” Xu He suddenly laughed out loud, ”Gu Guangyi, did you really think the secret treasury is right in front of you? Fool, this is just the first barrier of the tomb!”

With that, he suddenly stepped forward and opened one of the three massive iron boxes.

In an instant, a white light emerged from the bottom of the box, enveloping Xu He completely.

Gu Guangyi’s expression darkened as he stepped forward to grab Xu He, but caught only air. Xu He’s body had vanished entirely.

”Damn, is this actually a teleportation array gate?” Gu Guangyi was completely dumbfounded.

He had thought that the box contained items, but it turned out to be disguised as a teleportation array gate.

”Fool!” Gu Dewei walked over with a gloomy face, harshly reprimanding, ”You rushed impulsively without understanding the situation! Absolutely idiotic!”

Gu Dewei hadn’t expected that while he was distracted by the statue, his son would do something so foolish.

Gu Guangyi no longer had his previous arrogance, burying his head low without daring to utter a word.

Gu Dewei barely suppressed his anger and then instructed the two people beside him, ”Open the other two boxes as well!”

A Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator quickly stepped forward and opened the box on the left.

But the moment the box was opened, an unexpected change occurred!

Suddenly, a colorful light snake rushed out from the box, slithering over the cultivator’s body for a moment.

The cultivator opened his mouth as if trying to say something, but before he could speak, his body cracked open along the paths the light snake had traveled, shattering him into countless pieces of flesh.

”Incredible!” Even Gu Dewei couldn’t help but turn pale. That peculiar light snake—it didn’t seem like he could handle it even with his capability.

Thankfully, once the box was fully opened, the light snake swiftly re-entered the box and disappeared.

”There’s still one more box...” Gu Guangyi suddenly spoke up.

In an instant, everyone’s gaze fixed on the third box, filled with fear, as no one dared step forward to open it.

Indeed, that light snake was so bizarre that merely encountering it spelled certain death. Who’d be willing to step forward and risk their life?

Gu Dewei’s expression was serious as he scanned the room, finally fixing his gaze on Ye Haochuan.

Gu Ying immediately bristled and quickly shielded Ye Haochuan, saying, ”No, there are so many people here; why send my person?”

”He’s the one with the lowest cultivation. You should understand the gap between an Immortal Transformation Cultivator and a True Immortal Cultivator. For the family’s benefit, he must go!” This time, Gu Dewei didn’t compromise, speaking with a stern face.

”But...” Gu Ying was somewhat anxious.

If it had been before last night, this little pretty boy could have died, and it wouldn’t have mattered. However, last night, she first tasted satisfaction and was reluctant to let Ye Haochuan risk his life.

”No buts, Gu Ying. Family interests come first. What does a mere male pet count as?” Gu Guangyi also reprimanded in a firm tone.

Only then did Gu Ying nod sadly. Indeed, compared to family interests, a male pet really was insignificant.

”Go on, maybe this time there won’t be any danger!”

The hell with that, the chance of life-threatening danger is a good fifty percent, isn’t it?

Ye Haochuan cursed inwardly.

A moment ago, he had been standing aloof, as if it didn’t concern him. Now that the task suddenly fell on his head, it was truly hard to accept.

”What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go?” Gu Guangyi shouted angrily when Ye Haochuan hadn’t moved.

He originally wanted to get rid of this ”Zhang Li,” so how could he pass up such an opportunity?

Ye Haochuan’s expression hardened. The place was packed with most of the Gu Family’s top cultivators, and if he exposed himself now, he feared escaping into the Minor World would be his only option.

That was indeed a safe choice, but by then, all the advantages would be taken by the Gu Family. Wouldn’t his trip be wasted?

”Alright, let’s gamble; if anything unexpected happens, I’ll escape into the Minor World right away—nothing should happen then!” Ye Haochuan encouraged himself inwardly, then put on a ”bitter” face, slowly walking to the last box.

He didn’t rush to open it but sneakily used his Perspective Eyes to peek inside the box.

What made his spine chill was that the colorful light snake was indeed inside the box.

However, he quickly discovered a pattern.

The colorful light snake didn’t stay in one box constantly but kept swapping, moving to another box every one or two seconds, and circulating like that.

As for Xu He earlier, he didn’t know whether Xu He was lucky or seized the right moment, successfully entering, but the two opened boxes were not safe either. Those who went in later could still be attacked by the light snake.

Having noticed this pattern, Ye Haochuan suddenly felt more balanced.

”Damn it, you think of harming me, but I have Perspective Eyes and can see where the light snake is. When you go in, it’ll come down to luck!”

Ye Haochuan celebrated inwardly, seized the opportunity, and instantly opened the box.

The next moment, his body was enveloped in white light and vanished on the spot.

”So lucky!” Gu Guangyi spat angrily, feeling somewhat dismayed.

”Earlier, I watched for a while. The Medicine King’s legacy should be inside this statue, and the way to enter it must be through these three boxes!”

Gu Dewei said in a resounding voice, ”Now, everyone divide into three groups and enter through the three boxes. That way, we can ensure not to miss the correct path!”

Others nodded and slowly approached the boxes.

But just then, one of the cultivators suddenly turned color and tried to escape but couldn’t, being caught by the light snake and instantly turned into chunks...
