Chapter 2, the beautiful Chu Yao
Oh, where are you from? Once your health is restored, I will send you back.
Chu Feng left, while Chu Yao glanced back at Lin Mu Yu. Then, playfully sticking out her tongue, she turned and walked out, leaving behind a charming silhouette for Lin Mu Yu. Regardless of which world this is, the young women here are indeed stunningly beautiful and naturally graceful
Chu Yao was exceptionally delighted, but a young man of about 25 years old beside her seemed rather displeased. He frowned and said, "A Yao, you haven't obtained Master’s permission, how can you casually allow someone to enter the Bai Ling Apothecary?"
While Chu Yao was anxious, Lin Mu Yu calmly said: "Dream Leaf Grass"
Someone is feeling quite pleased with themselves
Lin Mu Yu secretly felt a headache and smiled, saying: "Alright, Sister Chu Yao"
After a while, Chu Yao finally noticed Lin Mu Yu, who was watching from the side, and couldn't help but laugh, "What's wrong? Do you know about herbs?"
Wang Ying let out a cold laugh and said, "If you can't even get past this hurdle of mine, then there's no need for you to stay at the Lark Apothecary. If you know what's good for you, just get out quickly!"
This time there was a response, and a skill bar for forging appeared before him, with two branches: one for alchemy and one for forging. Moreover, the symbols were illusory, and he could not grasp them at all; it seemed that only he could see them. Lin Mu Yu clicked his tongue in wonder. Could it be that he had brought the skills from the game into this real world?
Oh? Chu Yao smiled mischievously: "I am 24 years old now, you should call me Sister Chu Yao, at least before leaving the Bailing Pharmacy."
Ah?
Lin Mu Yu silently watched from the side, yet was astonished deep down. The variety of herbs here was extensive, and to his surprise, he recognized most of them! Eagle Eye Grass, Seven Star Flower, Ice Leaf Grass, Earth Stove Root, Iron Pear Flower, Sacred Heart Fruit, and others were all herbs from the game "Conquest." Moreover, Lin Mu Yu was one of the only two Master Alchemists in "Conquest," with Alchemy being a branch of the Art of Refining. Each of these herbs was identified as Level 1 or Level 2 herbs
While I was thinking, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Chu Yao walked in, holding a bowl in her hands. She smiled and said, "Lin Mu Yu, Grandpa said that your body is still quite weak, as if all your strength has been drained. So, I will let you have some porridge first to replenish your energy."
How should I respond? ... Lin Mu Yu found himself in a predicament again. If he claimed to be from some remote valley, the old man would surely ask which mountain it was and which city it belonged to. He knew nothing about this place and would be exposed. The only best way is to ...
He suddenly clutched his head and groaned in pain, saying: "I... I seem to have forgotten everything, where... where am I..."
Wang Ying did not speak; he merely cast a fierce glare at Lin Mu Yu, whose hand was being held by Chu Yao.
You are welcome, just take a good rest!
This ... ...
Behind the old man, a young girl dressed in a blue floral dress stood there, excitedly looking at him. The girl appeared to be around 20 years old, with a graceful and delicate figure. Her floral dress was extremely short, revealing a pair of long, straight, snow-white legs that were particularly eye-catching. The upper part of her attire was a strapless top that accentuated her prominent curves, strikingly beautiful. If this were a dream... it would be too sensational, wouldn't it?
After finishing a bowl of porridge, Lin Mu Yu had regained some strength, yet he still felt that his body was somewhat abnormal. He swung his fist, realizing that his current physique lacked even the original strength he once had. In his previous world, although Lin Mu Yu was not a master, he still possessed some martial skills, enough not to be as powerless as he was now, unable to even tie up a chicken. Something must have happened to his body; could it be related to the death of the Seven Luminaries Demon Emperor?
Chu Yao's hands fluttered like butterflies as she gathered the second layer of leaves from the eagle's eye grass and the plump roots of the earth furnace. The scene was truly pleasing to the eye
"Do you need me to feed you some porridge?" Chu Yao leaned down, looking at him with a smile, revealing the deep valley between her bosom beneath her wrap, causing Lin Mu Yu to feel as if struck by lightning.
This person is named Wang Ying, the senior apprentice of the Bailing Pharmacy, and is also one of the official alchemists at the Bailing Pharmacy
Upon thinking of this, Lin Mu Yu immediately regretted it. Why did he foolishly delete skills such as the Starry Technique and the Divine Drink Slash? If he could truly bring them to this world, they would surely be extraordinary skills. When he called upon the skills, he found that only the Forging Technique responded to his summons. As for the Falling Star Step and the Dragon Binding Spear Technique, they manifested as an iron lock when summoned, indicating that the skills were locked away
Chu Yao opened her mouth slightly, looked at Lin Mu Yu with newfound respect, couldn't help but smile, and even changed her form of address: "Ah Yu, do you still recognize medicinal herbs?"
Clearly, the plants here are the same as those in the game "Conquest". Lin Mu Yu quickly regained his confidence and said: "Golden Silk Grass, Level 3 herb, the one on your left is Level 3 herb Purple Snake Vine, and the one on your right is Level 3 herb Blood Ginseng. I am not mistaken, am I?"
Indeed, my stomach is empty, Lin Mu Yu immediately smiled and said: "Thank you, Chu Yao!"
This time it was Wang Ying's turn to be dumbfounded
Good, thank you, Grandpa Chu
The old man smiled slightly and said, "No, you are my granddaughter Chu Yao who saved me!"
Clearly, Chu Yao intended to keep him, and Lin Nu, being new to this world, naturally sought a place to settle down. He readily nodded and smiled, saying, "If Sister Chu Yao does not mind, I am willing to stay"
Thank you ... ... '' Lin Mu Yu looked at Chu Yao
Okay
Thank you, Sister Chuyiao
Chu Yao stepped forward to the *picture* book, feeling both delighted and angry. She grasped Lin Mu Yu's hand and said to Wang Ying: "Senior Brother, A Yu has just arrived at the Hundred Spirits Apothecary. Why are you making things so difficult for her? When Grandfather returns, there will naturally be a conclusion!"
I see... Chu Yao pressed her red lips together and smiled, saying: "Actually... since you can't remember who you are for the time being, and you can't recall where your hometown is, why not stay here? Although our Lark Pharmacy doesn't rank among the hundreds of pharmacies in Silver Fir City, it can at least support one person. You can learn alchemy from me and help out in the shop. Grandpa is getting old and needs us younger generations to put in more effort. What do you think?"
Well, sometimes I also gather some herbs to make wound ointment
Thank you, grandfather, I still do not know your name
... ...
Is this a nightmare
... ...
The old man asked, "Young man, what is your name, and why are you alone in the Seven Star Forest? I have checked your pulse, and there is no power within you, unlike that of a cultivator"
That's right
23 years old
The old man was taken aback and said, "I have checked; your head has suffered a heavy blow, which may have caused this temporary amnesia. However, rest assured, you can stay at our Lark Pharmacy for the time being. Once you regain your memory, I will have Chu Yao take you back. If you need anything while living here, feel free to tell Chu Yao."
... ...
Saying this, he picked up a purple grass and asked, "What is this?"
Chu Yao hurriedly said: "Senior Brother, this is a Level 3 herb. Ah Yu is just an outsider; isn't this asking too much of him?"
Refining Technique
So that beautiful woman is named Chu Yao, what a lovely name! Lin Mu Yu silently praised in his heart and said, "Grandpa, thank you... where is this place?"
Lin Mu Yu has confirmed that this is not a dream, but rather that he has traversed with the book into a completely unknown world, which is even more mysterious than a dream
Unable to comprehend, he stepped outside, and a refreshing breeze greeted him, bringing a sense of comfort to his entire being
In fact, when Lin Mu Yu arrived, he was only wearing novice attire, which is now tattered and worn. However, it still cannot conceal his heroic spirit, and his eyes are clear and flawless, making Chu Yao feel an instant fondness for him. It is precisely for this reason that she wishes to keep him. At that moment, upon hearing Lin Mu Yu's willingness to stay, Chu Yao clapped her hands in delight and said, "It’s great that you’re willing to stay. All of us apprentice alchemists are following Grandpa to learn the art of alchemy, so you must call me Senior Sister!"
Chu Yao expressed some displeasure and said: "Senior Brother, Ah Yu is in trouble alone in Yinsong City. By chance, I saved him, and I cannot just leave him there. Moreover, Ah Yu is knowledgeable about herbs, which indicates that he has an affinity for alchemy. I believe that when Grandfather returns, he will certainly agree with me."
How should I respond to this? Should I say that I accidentally crossed over after failing to log off from a game? And that I had a bloody battle with a monster called the Seven Suns Demon Emperor against hundreds of super strong opponents? That doesn't seem very convincing. So he said: "My name is Lin Mu Yu, I accidentally got lost and walked into the Seven Star Forest, and then I fainted..."
No... no need for that." He awkwardly shook his head, his face nearly turning red.
Lin Mu Yu did not know how to respond, so he pointed to a bunch of grass and said: "This is ice leaf grass, its attribute is extreme cold, right?"
Chu Yao smiled slightly and asked, "How old are you?"
This is the backyard of the Lark Apothecary, which is quite spacious. An old silver fir tree stands tall in the yard, beneath which are placed more than ten tables, all covered with a dense array of herbs, including grass tops and roots. Chu Yao and seven other alchemy apprentices are diligently gathering the effective parts of the herbs.
System Spirit! Lin Mu Yu silently called out, but there was no response.
A wave of fatigue washed over Lin Mu Yu, and he felt as if his head were about to explode. Scenes of the Seven Luminaries Demon Emperor attempting to invade his body continuously surfaced in his mind, resembling a nightmare.
Feigning amnesia, damn it, I am too clever!
Chuyao then placed the porridge on the table and said, "Take your time eating, I will go out to gather some medicine."
He closed his eyes, yet familiar symbols emerged in his mind. Was it... alchemy? No, if this were the real world, how could alchemy appear in his mind?
Lin Mu Yu could not help but smile: "Then shall we still call her Sister Chu Yao?"
Lin Mu Yu quickly regained her composure and said: "Am I... am I the one you saved?"
Wang Ying let out a cold snort and said, "Lin Mu Yu, I know you were brought back by A Yao from the Seven Star Forest. I don't care who you are, but if you want to join the Lark Apothecary, you need to prove your abilities. Although our Lark Apothecary is not a prestigious sect, we absolutely will not support those who live off others without contributing."
At this point, he had calmly accepted the reality that he had indeed traveled through time, but he had no idea why it had happened
This is Silver Fir City, isn't it?" The old man said with a kind smile, "You actually don't even know where you are? You have quite the nerve to venture into the Seven Star Forest, where fierce beasts roam. If it weren't for Ah Yao spotting you while gathering herbs in the mountains, you would have likely become a meal for the swift wolves.
Chu Yao's face turned slightly red, and her voice was melodious: "There is no need to be polite; I am a healer, and it is my duty to save lives."
Ah ... ...
... ...
Well, as you wish
Oh, my name is Chu Feng, you can just call me Grandpa Chu
Wang Ying did not expect that an outsider would actually recognize this, so he picked up a golden plant and asked, "Then what is this?"
Lin Mu Yu suppressed his aversion towards Wang Ying and said, "Are you trying to test me, Senior Brother?"
