Chapter 434: Succubus (4)
Yuan Hui pulled Wen Wan aside and introduced her to the others, "Yes, her name is Wen Wan. She will be your junior sister from now on, A-Wan. This is your senior brother, Jiao Long. This is your second senior sister, Qiao Yue. This is your third senior brother, Zhao Zhu."
Wen Wan greeted them politely, "Hello, Senior Brother, Second Senior Sister, and Third Senior Brother."
Qiao Yue held Wen Wan's hand and said, "Finally, a junior sister has arrived. In this place, even the mosquitoes are male. I'm so annoyed."
Others: "..."
Yuan Hui coughed slightly. "Afterwards, A-Yuan will live with your second senior sister. She will introduce you to the place and help you get familiar with it as soon as possible."
"Yes, Master, A-Yuan understands."
Yuan Hui left quickly, and Wen Wan followed her second senior sister to her residence, a small courtyard with a beautiful view. There were all kinds of flowers at the entrance, and Wen Wan wanted to touch them, but was stopped.
Qiao Yue said, "You can't touch this, it's poisonous."
Wen Wan immediately withdrew her hand. Qiao Yue said, "When you don't recognize all the plants, it's best to suppress your curiosity, because many things here are poisonous. The more brightly these flowers bloom, the more poisonous they may be."
Wen Yan: "!!!"
What a terrifying place! Even the entrance is covered in poisonous weeds.
"Senior sister, what if you sleepwalk at night? Won't you poison yourself?"
"So it's best not to sleepwalk."
Wen Yan: "..."
Qiao Yue laughed when she saw her junior sister was so frightened. "I was just kidding. This won't happen. Although the plants at the entrance are poisonous, they won't kill you. Once you've cultivated enough, these minor poisons won't pose any threat to you at all."
Wen Wan: "I see. Senior sister is so mean. She just knows how to scare me."
"Your bedding hasn't arrived yet, so you can use mine for now. We'll each have our own room, and I'll stay next to you. You can come to me if you need anything. It's very easy here. Besides taking care of these flowers and plants every day, we also refine pills and medicines, and occasionally learn some swordsmanship to strengthen our bodies. That's about it."
Why do you still need to practice swordsmanship?
Qiao Yue: "As medicine cultivators, we are inherently weak, and we are full of treasures. Moreover, the cultivation world is in dire need of medicine cultivators. If we don't have some skills to protect ourselves, we're doomed."
Wen Yan: "..."
It really does look dangerous.
Then Qiao Yue gave Wen Wan a large book, at least ten centimeters thick, and asked, "What is this?"
"The Complete Compendium of Herbs is the first lesson for beginners in herbal medicine, which is to read it thoroughly and know it completely."
Wen Yan: "!!!"
Wen Wan's eyes widened, then she turned around decisively, "I'll go ask the sect leader if I can still become an outer disciple. I'm willing to practice swordsmanship, I'm willing to do anything."
She'll go crazy over a book that's several times thicker than a dictionary.
Qiao Yue stopped her, saying, "Junior sister, don't be like this. It's very simple. We have many herbs here. You'll know them after recognizing them a few times. It took me three months to memorize them. Senior brother took a year, and junior brother took half a year. So there's no need to rush. Take your time."
Wen Wan looked miserable. "Even if you gave me ten years, I still couldn't memorize this!"
"Junior sister, you must believe in yourself."
Wen Wan: "I trust my brain more, and my brain is rejecting it."
Qiao Yue: "..."
In the end, Wen Wan did not leave, and then began her long journey of memorizing texts.
This is so difficult!
It's too difficult.
Wen Wan had never been this distressed when she took the college entrance exam. It was only when her senior brother saw that she was almost crying that he stopped her, saying, "If you keep memorizing like this, even if you have ten brains, you still won't be able to finish memorizing this book."
"Senior brother, you understand me, I really can't memorize it all."
The eldest brother glanced at Qiao Yue and said, "Your second senior sister is just joking with you. This book isn't meant to be memorized like that; it's meant to be read."
"What?"
The eldest brother said, "Each of these herbal encyclopedias is actually a small spiritual artifact. After you sign a contract with it, it becomes your own spiritual object. It will automatically find and compare any information you need, so you don't have to memorize it word by word."
Wen Wan's eyes widened. "You can do that?"
If you had this skill during the college entrance exam, getting into Peking University or Tsinghua University would be a piece of cake.
What else is needed?
"Drip your blood on it first."
The eldest brother took out a needle, and Wen Wan endured the pain and pricked herself with it. Then she dripped her blood onto the book, and the book instantly absorbed the blood, emitting a golden light.
"Did it succeed?" Wen Wan asked curiously, but her senior brother looked stunned.
"What's wrong? Is something the problem?"
Senior Brother: "There's nothing wrong with it. Did you feel it?"
Wen Wan closed her eyes and tried to sense it. She did see a mini version of the Complete Book of Herbs in her mind. "I see it. So that's how I don't have to memorize it. Second Senior Sister, you're so mean."
Qiao Yue: "I'm not joking, Junior Sister is so cute, it would be too boring not to play with her."
Wen Yan: "..."
She is a person, not a toy.
After that, Wen Wan began to experiment with this skill. Her senior brother took her to a medicinal herb field, where she began to practice.
As soon as her fingers touched the spiritual plant, the little book in her mind automatically turned the pages and stopped on one page.
The above is a very detailed introduction to this spiritual plant.
Wen Wan experimented with several more methods, having a great time and being as happy as a beautiful butterfly flitting around the medicinal field, even attracting several spirit butterflies.
The eldest brother stood to one side, while the third brother looked at the youngest sister and said, "It's truly astonishing that she is so compatible with the Complete Book of Herbs, and is naturally favored by spiritual beings. She's a born herbalist!"
Senior Brother: "She has a Heavenly Spiritual Root, which is a legendary existence. It's normal for her to be somewhat special. No wonder Master insisted on bringing her back."
Qiao Yue: "I'm so envious. Junior sister is really amazing. I have to work harder, otherwise I'll be embarrassed if I fall behind her."
Wen Wan had no idea how shocking her actions were. After all, no one had ever told her, and the system didn't know either, since it wasn't an inexperienced system.
For a period of time afterward, Wen Wan traveled almost all over the Medicine Hall and got to know almost all the spiritual plants. It was so easy that she wished she could take this skill back with her. If this were an exam, wouldn't she be able to do anything?
Then the second lesson began.
Yuan Hui personally taught her.
“As a medicine cultivator, you need to learn to use some skills.” Yuan Hui stretched out his hand, and a ball of flame suddenly appeared in his left hand. “This is spiritual fire, which is an essential thing for us in alchemy, but you cannot use it for the time being.”
Then the spirit fire disappeared.
Next came water, but Wen Wan still couldn't use it.
Finally, the second lesson begins: the art of stimulating growth. "The growth cycle of a spiritual plant can be as short as a dozen years or as long as hundreds or thousands of years. If we have to wait for the spiritual plant to mature before we can refine pills, then we might really become extinct."
