Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor
Chapter 371 - 233: A Genius Astonishing the World
CHAPTER 371: CHAPTER 233: A GENIUS ASTONISHING THE WORLD
Hearing that the Divine Doctor who had treated himself in the city came by a few days ago, the village chief was very happy.
The villagers, whenever they had a headache or fever, were given some Elixirs by Yun Sheng, and he cured them all, for which they were very grateful to Yun Sheng and Little Ci’en Hall.
While persuading the villagers to go back home, the village chief also had his wife invite Yun Sheng and the others into the house.
Though he was the head of the village, the farmer’s home was not very wealthy.
The couple had raised three or four children, who ran around the table during mealtime. They were very curious about the new visitors, circling around Yun Sheng and Ji Mo incessantly.
Especially Ji Mo, who had not spoken or looked around since entering the house.
Yet those few children were very fond of him, continuously pestering him to play.
Seeing this, the village chief felt quite embarrassed and scolded the children a few times.
"It’s not a problem; I didn’t have any siblings growing up, let them play," Ji Mo indicated to the village chief not to mind, he wasn’t very talkative, and at first, he seemed a bit uneasy, as if this was his first time encountering children wanting to play with him.
No one knew what Ji Mo was feeling at that moment.
In his childhood, due to his exceptional Magic Talent, he had spent almost all his time practicing Magic to elevate his Magic Realm.
As his reputation as a genius spread across the continent, those of his age who were disciples and sister-disciples would only look at him with awe from a distance, and over time, he was left alone until the appearance of Yu Ji and Yu Mo, which changed things slightly.
But due to their status, even they were always very respectful towards him, which lessened the closeness.
Ji Mo’s conflicting desires to play with the children and to maintain his composure were all observed by Yun Sheng.
"Honored guests, please eat, our village is poor, and we didn’t know we would have such esteemed visitors, I am truly sorry," said the farmer’s wife as she brought over several bowls of porridge made with coarse pottery, along with some black and hard steamed bread, and a few freshly picked yellow ears of corn.
To call it porridge was generous since it was just a few grains of coarse rice in a lot of water.
Looking at the not-so-clean edge of the bowl and the bread hard as stone, even such a dinner was quite rare for the village chief’s children, they were just sipping the watery porridge and gazing eagerly at those pieces of bread.
Mother had already said, these were for the guests.
Ji Mo hadn’t touched his chopsticks.
"Thank you, aunty, I’m really hungry," Yun Sheng was straightforward and didn’t act politely, eating heartily and grabbing the bread, breaking it into pieces, and handing them out to the envious children.
Lin Yao’er also followed Yun Sheng’s example, eating and sharing as well.
Ji Mo paused for a moment, hesitated, and finally followed Yun Sheng’s lead, eating and drinking heartily, not minding the dirty bowls and coarse food.
This meal would remain an unforgettable memory for Ji Mo for the rest of his life.
After dinner, the farmer’s wife shooed the children away, leaving Yun Sheng and the others to discuss the Medicine Field with the village chief.
"Divine Doctor? You mean, you want to plant Medicinal Herbs in our village?" The village chief thought he might have misheard.
Zhou Chu Village was located in a remote area with poor roads. Though the soil was said to be fertile and there was some labor available in the village,
Due to transportation issues, goods from the village couldn’t be sent down the mountains, and it was also difficult to bring things up from below.
"What if I have a way to solve the transportation issue?" Yun Sheng smiled, having examined the soil in the village. It was very suitable for cultivating a valuable medicinal herb known as Sea Buckthorn.
This medicinal herb, on the market, could sell for five silver coins per half kilogram.
"Are you speaking the truth, Divine Doctor?" Upon hearing this, the village chief’s face was filled with disbelief.
"You’ll know by tonight," Yun Sheng deliberately kept him in suspense without going further.
After dinner, Yun Sheng and Lin Yao’er spent time chatting idly with the farmwomen.
Ji Mo stood alone at the entrance to the village, gazing at the steep, continuous slopes of the hills.
In the sky, the stars were twinkling.
What kind of person was she?
When alone, Ji Mo shed the indifferent demeanor he maintained in front of others, his slightly pale face was ordinary, but under the night sky, it emitted a soft glow.
"What are you thinking about?" Yun Sheng walked over and stood beside Ji Mo.
"Thinking about you..." Ji Mo’s words paused slightly, as if startled by his own boldness: "I was thinking about what way you have to solve the transportation issue here. Not just that, but you know growing Sea Buckthorn is no easy task. The villagers here are all farmers; they don’t know how to cultivate such a precious medicinal herb."
"For ordinary people, yes, it is difficult to grow. But if a Mage were to cultivate them, it would be different," Yun Sheng looked into the dark night, unlike Ji Mo, she liked to seek out the twinkling stars in the pitch-black sky, looking for those bits of light.
"Mage? Are you saying?" Ji Mo had a flash of insight, connecting it to Yun Sheng’s earlier actions.
And then he thought of...
"You may not know, but magic can be used for cultivating medicinal herbs. Basic spells like Earth Spur have an effect on soil enrichment dozens of times better than ordinary farming methods. During drought seasons, the Rain Gathering Technique can be used, and in the cold seasons, the Fire Element Magic can create greenhouses. The Medicine Field I envision is a Magic Medicine Field. I want Zhou Chu Village to become the first Medicine Field on the Great Zhou that uses magic to cultivate medicinal herbs," Yun Sheng’s voice was low, but the words that fell into Ji Mo’s ears were incredibly astounding.
In fact, the use of magic for cultivating medicinal herbs wasn’t something that Yun Sheng was the first to think of.
The Magic Temple also used magic to cultivate some valuable medicinal herbs, but no one dared to speak of using magic to grow medicinal herbs in an ordinary village without a Mage.
If someone else had made such a claim, Ji Mo would have just laughed it off, but Yun Sheng had the capability to do it, because she possessed High-grade Magic Medicine, the Moon God’s Praise.
A magic potion that could instantly turn ordinary people into Magicians.
Even the Magic Temple, with its best Magic Pharmacists and a variety of Magic Materials, hadn’t found a single clue regarding the concoction of Moon God’s Praise throughout the past year.
On the Wuji Continent, only this female Mage and female doctor before him possessed such miraculous Magic Potion.
No wonder she had asked him to check which of the children had a Magic Sensing Ability.
Even the faintest Magic Sensing Ability, as long as they consumed the Moon God’s Praise, could instantly become Magicians.
The learning abilities of children are the best. As long as she then taught them the corresponding Basic Magic, within a few days, Zhou Chu Village could have its first batch of Magicians.
This speed was terrifying.
Ji Mo seemed to already see the emergence of a generation of magic talents in the near future on the Great Zhou, all nurtured by the girl before him, not yet even ten years old.
