Chapter 1158: Medicine Seeking Girl
Editor: Atlas Studios

Everyone had already begun to guide the disciples they had accepted.

Except for Mu Wan’er…

In the village, almost all the villagers who were working and weaving and cooking at home were discussing this matter after this disciple recruitment, after this disciple recruitment.

Some were happy, while others were sad.

They were happy that a young man in their family had been taken in as a disciple by an immortal, but they were worried that it was the opposite.

Mu Wan’er weaved through the villagers and listened to their discussion with an incomparably resentful expression.

“It’s all that woman from the Supervisory Temple’s fault for doing this!”

Mu Wan’er lowered her head angrily and kicked away the small stone by her feet.

“I have to find another one, but how can it be so easy to find a disciple with alchemy talent…” At this point, Mu Wan’er couldn’t help but sigh.

“Move! Move!”

Mu Wan’er looked up and saw a dirty little girl covered in mud holding a mud bowl wrapped in a few lotus leaves with both hands. She walked around the villagers and ran towards her!

Seeing this, Mu Wan’er turned her body slightly to let her pass.

As the little girl ran past her, Mu Wan’er saw that the bowl was filled with steaming dark green liquid. It smelled of strong and pungent herbs.

Mu Wan’er continued walking without caring so much.

She happened to hear the surrounding villagers discussing the little girl who ran past.

“Sigh, Little Shu is also pure-hearted. The only old man left in the family is terminally ill. Even Medicine Master Wang in the village has said that he’s hopeless. But that little girl, Little Shu, still goes to the mountains all day to pluck herbs to treat her old man.”

“Old Shu is already at that age and can’t be saved. Poor Little Shu, who has always relied on him.”

“It’s just that the mountain is so dangerous with all kinds of wild beasts. What if something happens? She’s still so young.”

“I can’t help it. I’ve told her many times. She doesn’t listen to me at all.”

Upon hearing this, Mu Wan’er also thought that since she had nothing to do and the little girl was filial, it was good to go take a look.

Hence, he went forward and asked, “Grandpa, may I ask where that little girl’s house is?”

When the hunchbacked old villager saw Mu Wan’er, he immediately said, “It’s Immortal Master! There, it’s over there. It’s the one with the fishing net drying at the door on the left.” Then, he pointed to the left.

Mu Wan’er nodded and walked in that direction.

A broken wooden door did not close. Mu Wan’er stood at the door and watched as the little girl’s hands were scalded red. She still endured the pain and fed medicine to an old man with black spots all over his body.

The old man raised his eyelids forcefully, but he did not open his eyes. He could only say with heartache, “Little Shu, my illness can’t be saved. Don’t go up the mountain again.”

Little Shu shook her head hard and cried, “I don’t want to give up! It’s said that there are all kinds of spiritual herbs on the mountain. I can always find spiritual herbs to treat Grandpa’s illness as long as I keep going!”

Upon hearing this, Mu Wan’er, who was standing at the door, said, “These herbs can’t treat your grandfather’s illness.”

Hearing this, the little girl turned around and looked at Mu Wan’er. Then, she said stubbornly, “That’s what Medicine Master Wang said! He said that as long as we can find those spiritual herbs on the mountain, we can treat Grandpa’s illness!”

Mu Wan’er asked, “But do you know what that spiritual herb looks like and where it lives?”

The little girl wanted to refute again, but she could not.

She didn’t know, and neither did Medicine Master Wang.

Therefore, she could only find those herbs one by one and test them.

Seeing the little girl’s sad and round face that was dripping with tears, Mu Wan’er couldn’t help but shake her head slightly. Then, she walked into the basically empty house and walked towards the old man’s bed.

Seeing this, the little girl was furious. She immediately stood in front of Mu Wan’er and spread her hands. “What are you doing?!”

Mu Wan’er smiled and said, “I happen to be an apothecary too. I’m helping your grandfather see what illness he has.”

Hearing this, Little Shu’s face lit up and she hurriedly asked, “Then can you treat Grandpa?”

Mu Wan’er smiled and nodded.

The illness of a mortal could not be simpler for her.

There was even no need to refine any overly complicated medicinal pills.

The little girl only asked Mu Wan’er to go over after receiving an affirmative answer. Then, she grabbed the old man’s hand and said happily, “Grandpa, you’re saved! A medicine master said that he can treat your illness!”

The old man forced a bitter smile and waved his withered hand weakly. “Don’t I know my body? I’ve already reached the end. Don’t waste this effort.”

Mu Wan’er sat on the edge of the bed and smiled. “Grandpa, I’m different from those ordinary pharmacists.”

“Besides, there’s no loss in letting me try, right?”

The old man nodded helplessly.

Mu Wan’er looked at the old man’s body and could tell the problem at a glance.

In summary, it was severely lacking in nutrition. It had been contaminated by too many toxins from traveling the mountains all year round and had accumulated in its body!

Coupled with the fact that he was already old and his bodily functions had almost reached the end, this caused the poison to completely erupt and form these black spots.

It was no wonder that ordinary pharmacists were helpless.

The most fundamental problem was actually that his lifespan was about to end…

The little girl looked at Mu Wan’er and asked curiously, “Fairy Sister, why didn’t you take your pulse when you were treating her?”

How eloquent!

Mu Wan’er beamed with joy. “Because I can tell without taking your pulse.”

“Then can you tell?”

“I can tell.” Mu Wan’er nodded and said, “It’s not a big problem.”

Then, he took out a healing pill from his spatial ring.

Even though this healing pill was something that Mu Wan’er had already eliminated, its level was already too low.

However, to the old man, this healing pill was even gentler.

Ordinary people could increase their lifespan by at least 10 years after consuming it.

After feeding this pill to the old man, she placed her hand on the old man’s chest. Streams of immortal qi poured into the old man’s body, helping him digest the medicinal properties of this pill.

Ordinary people could increase their lifespan by at least ten years after consuming it.

Wisps of weak green light flickered around the old man’s body, and the black spots on his body began to slowly fade!

Layers of black liquid seeped out of the old man’s body. It was extremely smelly!

The old man’s tightly furrowed brows suddenly relaxed. He opened his eyes and said with infinite energy, “Eh, I… I feel that my body…”

Little Shu saw that the old man actually got up by himself and hugged him. “Grandpa! Are you alright?!”

“Grandpa is fine, Grandpa is fine.” The old man patted Little Shu’s back and beamed.

Then, as if he had thought of something, the old man’s expression tightened slightly. He hurriedly stood up and walked in front of Mu Wan’er before kneeling down!

“Thank you, Immortal!”

Little Shu followed suit and said childishly, “Thank you, Fairy Sister.”

Mu Wan’er stroked the Little Shu’s head and smiled. “In that case, I’ll leave first.”

She still had to find her disciple!

However, when Mu Wan’er stood up,

Little Shu suddenly grabbed the corner of Mu Wan’er’s skirt and said, “Fairy Sister, can you teach me how to be an apothecary?”
