Chapter 8, The Request of the Little Medical Fairy

Let us wait until we reach Jiamacheng to discuss this further. I will help you find a courtyard where you can focus on your studies

The little healer immediately frowned and murmured, "Is it going to take this long?"

I chuckled and said, "I do not wish to be a pharmacist, but rather an alchemist! I possess the talent of an alchemist, and once I officially become a fighter, I will seek out a master alchemist to apprentice under."

The little healer shot me a glance and said irritably: "What do you know? In addition to studying prescriptions, practice is even more important! What I need now is a large quantity of medicinal materials and a stable time and place to diligently study the Seven-Color Poison Classic"

Today, the little healer did not revisit the Seven-Colored Poison Classic, probably as she mentioned, what she needs now is hands-on practice rather than theoretical knowledge

One should not speak in such a manner. The reason you have not become an alchemist may be due to the lack of guidance. Once I have taken on a master, you can study alongside me. I believe you are so intelligent that you will definitely become an alchemist, and a most outstanding one at that

After a night of silence, the next morning, I set off again with the little healer

After sending away the person in charge, the little medical fairy, seeing that the matter was settled, smiled and thanked me once again before returning to her room

I do not understand the question: "Little Medical Fairy, we will be departing tomorrow morning on the flying magical beast. What can you research tonight?"

The person in charge hesitated to speak, yet I discerned his meaning; he was actually asking me for money again

There is also the financial elder. Upon reflection, it seems that the financial elder is the elder responsible for overseeing the family’s various shops in different locations

The little healer looked at me with a complex expression, sighed softly after a long while, and then suddenly smiled, resembling a blooming epiphyllum. She brushed her fingers through the strands of hair on her forehead, nodded slightly, and said softly: "Alright"

The official inquired: "May I ask, Young Master Nalan Ye, is this for the family's procurement? Does Young Master Nalan Ye have the financial elder's order?"

I naturally have no authority, and these are certainly not items that the family intends to purchase. Reluctantly, I could only take out a crystal card from the storage ring and toss it over.

I was taken aback; studying poisons on the back of a flying beast? Little Medical Fairy really dares to think big. If something goes wrong, wouldn't everyone on the flying beast be in trouble? There wouldn't even be a place to escape!

Hmph, once I return to the family, I will definitely speak in front of the financial elder, ensuring that you remain in Wusi City for a lifetime, and never think about being transferred back to Jiama City!

I felt a wave of relief, but as soon as I thought about losing over 10,000 gold coins for no reason, I couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache, attributing all of this to the person in charge.

I thought for a moment and said: "According to the itinerary, in three more days of travel, we will reach Wusi City. It is a large city, and from there we will switch to a large flying magical beast, which will take only six days to reach Jiamar City"

Is that so

The little healer was taken aback, perhaps because no one had ever spoken to her in such a kind manner. After a brief pause, she replied, "It's nothing..."

The rooms of the inn are somewhat dirty, and several guards are cleaning inside. I am standing in the simple courtyard outside with the little healer. She suddenly furrows her brows and asks, "How much longer until we reach Jama City?"

Upon arriving at the Nalan family's shop in Wusi City, the person in charge rushed out to greet us. I was too indifferent to engage in pleasantries with an external manager, and I had no interest in adopting a friendly or humble demeanor. I casually dismissed the matter and checked into the guest room of the shop with the little healer.

I pursed my lips, feeling somewhat unhappy, but I did not want to disturb the little healer, so I could only sit idly by. After some thought, I took out a book on the basics of medicinal herbs and began to flip through it.

The person in charge looked at me with a face full of shock, furrowing his brow and hesitating slightly as he said: "Young Master Nalan Ye, these items are not particularly valuable, but the quantity is too large; I fear it will amount to over 13,000 gold coins..."

Hehe, you are really nice

I leaned back against several layers of soft fur, tilting my head to look at the little healer sitting opposite me

Recalling the "Purple Cloud Wing" combat skills, I let out a mournful cry in my heart, "If my friend dies, I won't perish. For the sake of the little healer, I might as well study the poison scriptures!

The little healer shook her head and said, "I just want to study on the back of a flying beast. I have heard that flying beasts fly very smoothly, have ample space, and the journey takes six days, which is just enough for me to study a bit."

Silently, at dusk, the convoy stopped in a small town that was even smaller than the grotesquely prosperous Qingshan Town. The streets were narrow, and the sanitation was not very good

To my surprise, the little healer could no longer contain her restless heart and came to my room to ask me to prepare the medicinal materials and tools, as she was about to begin studying the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture

However, this is undoubtedly good news for me. I took out the herbal primer from yesterday, stood up, and sat beside the little healer to inquire about the herbs contained within.

The little healer's expression was somewhat despondent as she shook her head and said, "I do not possess the talent of an alchemist"

I found the best inn in town, but it was rather shabby. I looked at the little healer with some difficulty and said: "Little healer... I have put you through hardship."

I chuckled and said, "Aren't you currently studying that volume of toxic scriptures? You can study it on the road as well; it won't hinder you in any way."

I scratched my head and said with some helplessness: "Then just bear with it for now. Once we reach Jiamacheng, I will help you provide the herbs, how about that?"

I looked at the Little Medicine Fairy and said sincerely: "At that time, you can be my assistant and learn with me. I have heard that every pharmacist's dream is to become an alchemist, and perhaps you, Little Medicine Fairy, can also become an alchemist!"

I cleared my throat awkwardly, touched my nose, and then called over the shopkeeper, tossing the paper over to him, urging him to hurry and make the purchase.

If it cannot be recorded in the shop's accounts, then can it be paid for privately? You clearly lack understanding of basic social etiquette, no wonder you were sent to this Wusi City to take charge!

The little healer smiled gently, then, seemingly from nowhere, pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to me, saying: "I have written down all the materials you need to prepare on it."

Three days later, I arrived in Wusi City with Xiao Yixian. This is a large city, and my Nalan family naturally has shops here, or rather, a stronghold. Previously, when we traveled from Jama City to Wutan City, my father and I passed through here.

I cleared my throat and, somewhat unwilling to spend this money, asked: "Can it be put on the shop's account?"

I hurriedly declined, but I could not withstand the persistent persuasion of the little healer, especially those bright, large eyes that kept staring at me, leaving me utterly defenseless

I understand that this is because Xiao Yixian is naturally afflicted with a toxic body, which prevents her from becoming an alchemist. However, this does not hinder me from offering my services and flattering her. I continued to persuade her, saying:

The little healer looked at me and curiously asked, "Why are you studying this? Shouldn't you focus on your cultivation to become a fighter? Do you intend to become a pharmacist instead?"

After resting for two days in Qingshan Town, my convoy set off again on the morning of the third day. The only difference was that I was no longer alone; there was an additional young girl in a white dress in the carriage.

She always seems to be dressed in a light white dress, exuding a fresh and ethereal aura, gently holding a colorful poison scripture, lowering her head to examine it closely... without paying me any attention.

Upon opening it, I found it densely filled with an unknown number of writings, some of which I could not even identify what they were.
