CHAPTER 378: CHAPTER 240: THE CALAMITY OF ZHOUCHU

Because Rich Man Gold’s appearance was simply too "dazzling", just imagine a human-shaped gold mountain walking down the street, what kind of uproar it would bring. Therefore, Yun Sheng directly found a large cloak for him, and also put a mask on him.

"This is a new Hunter Soldier I found at a tavern, he is mute. I have a task for you, for the next six months, you don’t need to participate in camp missions, you are only responsible for taking him to the thirteen Hunter Soldier Guard Cities within the territory of Great Zhou and challenge each one successively." Upon hearing that he was not being assigned a mission by Young Master Yun, Zhou Quan immediately beamed with joy.

However, he was soon puzzled again, what was Young Master Yun up to this time, why send a new Hunter Soldier to the Hunting Soldier Guard Cities?

"I want you to take him and challenge the competitions in all the rounds at the thirteen major Hunting Soldier Guard Cities, without missing a single one. Remember, you need to record all his wins and losses, and report back to me once every week," Yun Sheng said this, and Zhou Quan immediately felt a pang of sorrow for the unknown brother.

Thirteen Hunter Soldier Guard Cities, all of their individual combat rounds, even an iron man would be beaten down.

Zhou Quan could not imagine that the other party was indeed a "Golden Man".

But after being warned by a glance from Yun Sheng, Zhou Quan immediately became serious, "Young Master Yun, rest assured, I will meticulously record the competition results and the process for this brother. Speaking of which, what’s this brother’s name?"

"Just call him Rich Man Gold," Yun Sheng waved his hand, indicating Zhou Quan not to ask too much and to set off promptly.

Zhou Quan was brisk, agreeing to return to Yun Sheng only after half a year.

Yun Sheng left the Hunter Corps campsite and returned to the medical clinic. As soon as Lin Yao’er saw her, there was no end to the chatter, "Oh, my ancestor, thank goodness you’re back. You haven’t been seen for three days, and if it weren’t for Ji Mo saying he heard you were going to the Royal Magic Academy, I really would have thought you had disappeared."

Yun Sheng’s only purpose in going to the Royal Magic Academy was to cultivate at the Magic Tower, which Lin Yao’er knew as well.

"Did I ever say I was going to the Royal Magic Academy?" Yun Sheng was puzzled, when had she told Ji Mo?

Glancing at Ji Mo, the boy was engrossed in his work.

"Let’s not talk about that now, during the few days you were away, the sea buckthorn in Zhou Chu Village has already sprouted," Lin Yao’er said delightedly. Not only that, but she and Doctor Fan had also found several remote villages somewhat similar to Zhou Chu Village.

Lin Yao’er planned to visit those villages as soon as Yun Sheng returned. The sooner they could sort out the supply of medicinal herbs, the sooner Little Ci’en Hall would recover its vitality and have a real contest with the Medicine Emperor Pavilion.

In the remaining months, Yun Sheng and Lin Yao’er, occasionally accompanied by Ji Mo, expanded from Yujing as the center and successively established over a dozen magic medicine herb villages within Great Zhou City.

Zong Ren was helping direct those Demon Beasts to handle transportation, and three months flew by unnoticed.

Thanks to magic fostering the cultivation of medicinal herbs, the growth of the first batch of herbs in Zhou Chu Village was especially successful.

Normally requiring a year to mature, the sea buckthorn blossomed and bore fruit in just three months’ time.

The formerly barren Zhou Chu Village was now filled with the fragrance of medicinal herbs everywhere.

The fruits of the sea buckthorn, like coral berries, hung thickly on the branches.

Under the village chief’s leadership, the diligent villagers harvested the first batch of sea buckthorn. After collecting, they dried and dehydrated them, then transported them to Little Ci’en Hall, ready for Yun Sheng to inspect.

"Dad, rest assured, my sister and I will definitely deliver the medicinal herbs safely," said the village chief’s nine-year-old eldest son, who was responsible for this important transport task.

The village chief’s eldest son, Rihua, was found to have a trace of the Fire Magic Element during the Magic Test.

He was selected by Yun Sheng and brought back to the clinic. After taking the Moon God’s Praise, his physique changed as expected, and even more gratifyingly, the Magic Elements within him mutated, turning him into a Magician of both wind and fire elements.

Considering his decent aptitude, Yun Sheng personally taught him the basic Wind and Fire Magic, and he barely qualified as Yun Sheng’s first disciple.

This was an unrivaled honor for the entire family of the village chief.

For this reason, they all regarded Yun Sheng as their savior.

The first medicinal herb transport of the village was naturally entrusted to him.

Who would have known that just as Rihua was about to leave, his youngest sister, the little girl Rihua, climbed onto the back of a Giant Winged Bat.

The little girl spoke earnestly: "I want to go with my brother. I won’t cause any trouble."

"I won’t bother big brother, I can even help him command the big birds," said Xiao Yun, who was only four and a half years old, already familiar with the Giant Winged Bats, which she liked to call big birds.

The village chief and his wife couldn’t help but smile upon hearing this.

It’s indeed strange; their little girl, far from being afraid of demon beasts, is on very good terms with these fierce-looking creatures.

She wasn’t boasting. Despite her young age, her ability to command the Giant Winged Bats had even been praised by Master Zong Ren.

Xiao Hua has a good Magic Talent, but he is no match for his little sister when it comes to commanding these Giant Winged Bats.

Thinking that their little daughter had never been to Yujing since she was born, the hearts of the village chief and his wife softened.

After discussing, they instructed Xiao Hua and a few adults from the village who were going with him to take good care of Xiao Yun, and then let everyone head down the mountain in the early light of dawn.

The herb transportation team from Zhou Chu Village slowly flew through the air. This was the first transportation, so there were a total of ten Giant Winged Bats transporting the goods.

Xiao Hua and his sister Xiao Yun were sitting on the first Giant Winged Bat, the two siblings on the back of the demon beast, watching the Zhou Chu Village shrink in size, and the figures of mom and dad gradually vanish.

They were unaware that on their journey, a terrible crisis was about to unfold.

Beneath the dense thicket, a group of men and horses were lying in ambush.

These were a few people dressed as Hunter Soldiers, who had been laying in wait here for quite some time.

One of them looked up at the sky and stood up, and this person was Qi Fangfei.

"Qi Medicine Man, wasn’t I right? Those people from Little Ci’en Hall were indeed secretly cultivating medicinal herbs outside. I’ve inquired about it; the village on the mountain is called Zhou Chucun. A few months ago, several strangers brought a batch of medicinal herb seeds and gave a large sum of money to the village chief, asking them to help cultivate the medicinal herbs," said Cheng Sihai.

Since being taught a lesson and deprived of his Four-direction Wanderer Doctor’s Token by Yun Sheng last time, this fellow had lost his livelihood.

Unable to continue being a Doctor, he wandered around and eventually ended up in a Hunting Corps, serving as an unlicensed Doctor.

A few days ago, when he was out with the Hunting Corps, he happened to encounter a villager from Zhou Chu Village. Upon inquiring, he learned that Zhou Chu Village was cultivating medicinal herbs, and the one who had them do it was a medical hall from Yujing City called Little Ci’en Hall.

After getting this information, Cheng Sihai treasured it like a precious find and hastily returned to Medicine Emperor Pavilion to tell Qi Fangfei.
