Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 2385: Chapter 2385: It Doesn’t Matter What I Refine

”Young man, Ma Yi’s master is Jin Xing, the favored disciple of the Ghostfire Pill Saint. Are you sure you want to have a pill duel with him?” Hua Wen kindly reminded Ye Haochuan.

Ghostfire Pill Saint?

Ye Haochuan was momentarily stunned. Isn’t that the one who had a pill duel with the Medicine King and pressured him to death?

And the name Jin Xing sounds quite familiar too!

After a slight thought, Ye Haochuan remembered who this Jin Xing was.

This guy was actually the disciple who helped outsiders to kill his master, the Medicine King.

Who would have thought, he has now become the favored disciple of the Ghostfire Pill Saint, quite the successful example in the world of betrayal and unforgivable acts.

Since it’s ’an old friend’s’ disciple, if I don’t show you a bit of color, how can I face your unscrupulous master?

Ye Haochuan thought to himself, then chuckled lightly, ”Speaking of it, I could be considered Jin Xing’s junior brother. Since he didn’t teach his disciple well, let me, as his Master Uncle, teach his disciple how to conduct himself!”

”You are also a disciple of the Ghostfire Pill Saint?”

Hua Wen looked at Ye Haochuan with some surprise.

Though he didn’t have much interaction with the Ghostfire Pill Saint, he was in the same Medical Path circle and knew about a few capable disciples under him.

He had never heard before that the Ghostfire Pill Saint had such a young disciple.

”I have no relation with the Ghostfire Pill Saint, it’s just that before Jin Xing joined the Ghostfire Pill Saint, he and I shared a master-disciple title!” Ye Haochuan vaguely explained.

Hua Wen nodded, dispelling his doubts.

”Hmph, I’ve never heard from my master that he had joined anyone’s sect before entering Master’s master’s sect. Even if true, it would definitely be someone unknown, nowhere comparable to my master!”

Ma Yi said disdainfully, ”I’d like to see how much alchemy skills you can possess under such an unknown person!”

As he spoke, Ma Yi took out a Pill Furnace and summoned a flame, provocatively waiting for Ye Haochuan.

”I’m sorry, my master once said that our alchemy secret techniques cannot be passed on, so please give me a private room!”

Ye Haochuan turned and said to Hua Wen.

”Putting on airs!”

Ma Yi looked impatient, snorted, ”Stop with your tricks. Giving you a separate room, who knows if you’re making your own pill or borrowing someone else’s to pose?”

”There’s no regulation yet on what pill to refine. Do you think I have divine arts to foresee the future and know what pill to prepare?”

Ye Haochuan glanced at Ma Yi, mocking, ”Besides, can freshly refined pills be the same as those placed for a period?”

”This...”

Ma Yi’s face instantly turned red, but he was at a loss for words.

”Since it’s a secret technique, not allowing an audience is also normal!”

Hua Wen interjected to mediate, ”As a condition of exchange, this time Ma Yi decides what pill to refine. What do you think?”

Ma Yi was instantly delighted upon hearing this, letting him decide what pill to refine. Not only could he prevent Ye Haochuan from preparing a pill in advance, but he could also choose his best-known pill, giving him an upper hand.

He never believed his alchemy would lose to Ye Haochuan, and now it seemed even more assured.

”Doesn’t matter, just prepare the pill recipe and ingredients for me!”

Ye Haochuan shrugged indifferently.

”Little brat, I want to see how long you can remain arrogant!”

Ma Yi looked at Ye Haochuan’s expression and felt a belly full of anger. After some thought, he said, ”This time, let’s compete with the Heavenly Soul Blood Fusion Pill, dare you?”

Upon hearing this, Hua Wen’s eyebrows raised slightly, looking at Ma Yi in surprise.

This Heavenly Soul Blood Fusion Pill holds no low rank, a third-tier middle-level Mysterious Pill, with an extremely cumbersome refining process. Even he couldn’t guarantee a 100% success rate.

He hadn’t expected Ma Yi to be so bold to use this pill for comparison.

In fact, Ma Yi had little confidence in successfully refining it. He just wanted to use this pill to dampen Ye Haochuan’s arrogance.

You’re not quite proud, are you? I’ll mention a pill you’d never dare to think of, to scare you!

Ma Yi was smug, seemingly already seeing Ye Haochuan kneeling before him, begging for a simpler pill.

But to his surprise, Ye Haochuan remained calm and gently said, ”Sure!”

What? He actually agreed?

Ma Yi was instantly dumbfounded!

He didn’t really intend to compete with this Mysterious Pill, he just wanted Ye Haochuan to retreat at the sight of difficulties. Now that Ye Haochuan agreed, he could only refine hard-headedly?

He opened his mouth, wanting to suggest changing to another pill to refine, as he truly felt uncertain about this pill.

However, with the words at the tip of his mouth, how could he say it?

This pill was proposed by him. If he backed out before refinement, wouldn’t he be slapping his own face?

”Just posturing, at worst, we both fail to succeed, then have a second round!”

Ma Yi gritted his teeth and said no more.

The two had already agreed, and Hua Wen, naturally, had nothing more to say, decisively declared, ”Each person prepares five sets of ingredients, and whoever produces the most pills wins!”

Having said that, he ordered someone to fetch the ingredients and had someone lead Ye Haochuan to a private Pill Room.

Looking at the five neatly arranged sets of ingredients at hand, Ye Haochuan felt an intense excitement.

The refining method of the Heavenly Soul Blood Fusion Pill is extremely cumbersome, the required ingredients are shockingly numerous, totaling over seventy types, each with a hefty price tag.

Such as Dragon Blood Ganoderma, Bone Spirit Fruit, Xuantian Green Vine, all particularly rare among third-tier ingredients, not to mention the Spirit Core Essence Blood of Void God-level demon beasts, an invaluable treasure.

The Danxi Alliance is truly wealthy, casting such precious materials so easily for a trifling competition.

Ye Haochuan had begun to anticipate the scene of entering Danxi Alliance with piles of rare medicinal materials at his disposal.

On the square, Ma Yi looked somewhat bitter, cautiously walking to Hua Wen’s side, whispering, ”Alliance Hierarch, please do not hold back with your guidance!”

Hua Wen’s expression immediately turned solemn, stating seriously, ”Since it’s a competition, having me guide would be cheating?”

”Alliance Hierarch, I’m representing Danxi Alliance. If I really lose, wouldn’t it be a disgrace to Danxi Alliance, making a laughingstock of our alchemy skills, unable to even surpass an unknown small character?” Ma Yi argued ”earnestly”.

”This...”

Hua Wen hesitated.

Indeed, Danxi Alliance, standing tall in the Immortal Realm for so long, has always been renowned. If truly overshadowed by an unknown person, it would be disgraceful!

”Alright then!”

After some thought, Hua Wen finally agreed but added, ”However, if due to my guidance he loses, you mustn’t harm him. As long as his alchemy skills are not particularly lacking, he will be allowed to join Danxi Alliance!”

Clearly, Hua Wen is a fair person. Although intervening for the sake of Danxi Alliance’s reputation, he chose to provide Ye Haochuan with some compensation.

Unable to vent his frustration on Ye Haochuan, Ma Yi was naturally displeased, but he also understood this was Hua Wen’s final bottom line, so he reluctantly nodded in the end.
