Chapter 4, The Little Healer of Qingshan Town
I thought about it and did not refuse, and then I met them in the lobby of the inn after leaving the room
I looked at everyone with satisfaction, thought for a moment, and according to the principle of equitable distribution, I had each of the three mercenary groups provide five mercenaries, instructed a fellow whose name I did not know to prepare food and tents, and finally asked Yao Er to prepare the medicine
I felt a sudden headache and quickly signaled to the leader of the guards, whereupon a pressure belonging to the combat masters spread throughout the hall, causing it to fall silent.
Now, there is only the last cliff beneath me...
At this moment, the sound of the guards reporting from outside the room was heard; it was a joint visit from several local bullies of Qingshan Town.
I turned my head to look at the little healer, observing the unyielding curiosity on her face. I chuckled and said, "I have heard that you often gather herbs in this area. Have you made any discoveries?"
Such a humble and insignificant wish, how could it possibly be unachievable? ... It certainly can be ...! ... It must be!
The dangers of the Warcraft Mountains are numerous; entering the mountains is not akin to an elementary school spring outing. The next day, the leader of the guards was busy with preparations, while I continued my training
This person is somewhat clever; instead of asking me what I came for, he directly inquired how he could assist me. I became interested and upon asking, I learned that this individual is indeed the person in charge of Wanyaozhai, with the surname Yao, and he is the second in his family.
After the rest, I set off again with everyone. At this speed, we can reach the next destination before sunset today
After checking into the inn and having lunch, I returned to my room to rest, while simultaneously contemplating the matters concerning the little healer
Upon arriving at the location, I deployed the mercenaries for vigilance, while the little healer was tending to the injured mercenaries. I then led the guards to the edge of the cliff
I did not step forward to speak, but instead stood with my sword drawn, exuding the imposing demeanor of a young hero. Then, with a wave of my hand, I led everyone towards the Demon Beast Mountain Range.
She turned her head to look at me, then turned back. After a while, she turned to look at me again, hesitated for a moment, and curiously asked, "You, are you looking for something?"
I thought for a moment and said: "To read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles, I have come to Qingshan Town today precisely to experience the challenges of the Warcraft Mountains. This matter indeed requires me to elaborate a bit to all of you."
According to the plot, she will inadvertently discover that cave a year later, and then she will go there with Xiao Yan, who is training in Qingshan Town. However, she will be betrayed by her assistant and ambushed by the Wolf Head Mercenary Group. Later, Xiao Yan will lead her to break through the encirclement
A few days later at noon, I finally arrived at Qingshan Town. I drew back the curtains and began to observe this small town that is closest to the Monster Mountain Range
The crisis in the Warcraft Mountains is severe. As soon as I set foot in the outer area, I placed fifteen mercenaries at the front, right, and left as cannon fodder, while my dozen or so guards were arranged in the middle to protect me and the little healer.
The unbearable sound reached my ears, and I frowned as I said to the leader of the vigilant guards beside the carriage, "First, go find an inn to stay in"
At this moment, I also revealed my true intentions and asked, "Yao Er, I need to bring a pharmacist with me to the Demon Beast Mountain Range, and I want the best. Do you have any recommendations?"
Several days have passed, and Xiao Yixian and I have searched more than a dozen cliffs and discovered two caves, yet we have not found the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture; we have only unearthed a pile of medicinal herbs
I chuckled softly, for women are indeed curious. I said, "I am searching for treasure, but I do not know the exact location of the treasure; I only know that it is somewhere on a cliff in this area."
However, it feels truly wonderful to discuss matters with the little healer! Her voice is soft and pleasant, especially when we have a disagreement; when she gazes at me intently with her pure, large eyes, it makes me feel completely at ease
I sighed in frustration, for the affairs of the world are intricately interconnected, and now I have become such a significant variable... The more I do now, the more changes will ensue, until the entire course of history is utterly transformed
I sighed, feeling somewhat weary from the journey, so I allowed everyone to take a break and sat down beside the Little Medicine Fairy myself
Yao Er's face lit up with joy as he smiled and said, "Master Nalan, I do not mean to boast, but the best pharmacist in the entire Qingshan Town is right here at our Wanyao Studio"
There are numerous shops lining the streets, and their clientele is naturally comprised of the mercenaries that fill the entire town. These mercenaries make their living by hunting magical beasts, thriving on bloodshed, and are thus all coarse and barbaric. They are gathered in groups of three to five, loudly discussing which women are the most enticing, planning to indulge in their pleasures shortly.
Treasure hunting is probably truly captivating, not so much for the treasures and wealth, but more for that unparalleled sense of the unknown and excitement
Unfortunately, I cannot compare to Xiao Yan, who is reputed to be a waste but is actually exceptionally talented. My aptitude is quite mediocre; at the age of 15, I have only reached the seventh stage of Dou Qi. I just broke through a couple of days ago, perhaps it is because my Dao heart is unobstructed
I chose a nearby location and hurried over. Along the way, I encountered several attacks from monsters, but fortunately, no one was killed
I took a few amused glances at him, not paying attention to his astonishment, but instead thinking of the Little Medicine Fairy. If I am not mistaken, the Little Medicine Fairy is currently at the Wan Yao Zhai
Xiao Yixian and I engaged in an intense discussion over that herbal gathering map. Unfortunately, someone did not write the locations clearly; otherwise, why would I need to deduce this? It would have been better to directly retrieve the "Seven-Colored Poison Classic".
But I cannot stop, for human desires are endless
After a pause, I said sincerely: "Rest assured, as long as we can find the treasure, I will definitely share a portion with you"
A person of considerable prestige among a few spoke up and asked: "Young Master Nalan's arrival in our Qingshan Town truly brings glory to our humble abode! I wonder, is there anything we can do to assist Young Master Nalan?"
I looked down at the cliff; it was not high, and I could clearly see the forest at the bottom of the cliff. Suddenly, I felt a wave of discouragement; how could there possibly be treasures at such a low cliff?
There are seven or eight people in this group, comprising men and women of all ages and varying strengths. Upon seeing me, they all eagerly approached to greet me and introduce themselves.
Until the morning of the third day, I stepped out of the house in full military attire, surrounded by my guards. Upon reaching the entrance of the inn, I saw a group of people standing outside. However, my gaze did not linger on them for even a moment; instead, it immediately fell upon a young girl.
But now, Xiao Yan has been influenced by me, and he is afraid he will never return to Qingshan Town for the rest of his life. If I do not intervene, in one year, the Little Medicine Fairy will fall into the hands of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group
As I dismissed everyone, a satisfied smile appeared on my face; I could finally see the little healer. Once I find the "Seven-Colored Poison Classic" in the Warcraft Mountains, the task will truly be accomplished
The Little Medical Immortal is born with a body that is inherently afflicted by poison, and the most significant opportunity lies within a cave in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, where the "Seven-Colored Poison Classic" is found
Hahaha!
I feel as though I have been controlled by desire, recklessly testing the edge of self-destruction, yet my heart cannot let go and is unwilling to stop... I am the son of an elder from the Nalan family, one of the three great families of the Jamadi Empire, and I am also a traveler from another world... Why should I not be the protagonist
A light white dress, a willow waist that can be grasped gently, cheeks adorned with a faint smile, and a fresh, ethereal aura ...! ... Although it is our first meeting, I know for certain that she must be the little healer!
I returned to my room with great delight and began my cultivation...! ... If I want to be the main character, I cannot let my skills fall behind
I dealt with it haphazardly, and when everyone was seated, I did not remember who was who
Even if it is merely the protagonist of the Jamati Empire
A guard was sent down the rope to take a look, and indeed there was no cave.
Xiao Yan, let him be the protagonist of the Dou Qi Continent, while I just want to stay in the small Jiamar Empire and be a small protagonist
I hold the herbal gathering map obtained from the Wan Yao Zhai in my hand, surveying the surroundings while inquiring about the map from the little healer
Soon, based on what Xiao Yixian said, I deduced several locations, all of which are places with cliffs. The book "Seven-Color Poison Classic" is very likely to be in one of these places
A group of people immediately began to argue, with the leaders of three mercenary groups vying to send their own mercenaries to escort me into the Monster Mountain Range, while others were also competing to prepare weapons, supplies, rations, and medicines for me
