Before this, the two of them had turned and ran as if they had seen a ghost. Now, they obediently followed behind Mo Wen like obedient children.
"Big Brother Mo, I'm sorry!" Wan 'er said softly with her head lowered.
Wang Qian also lowered her head awkwardly. She looked a little ashamed. If she had not been so paranoid and pulled Wan 'er to run like crazy, nothing would have happened.
From the looks of it now, Mo Wen did not seem like a ghost. Even if he was, he was a good ghost.
After being saved by Mo Wen, Wang Qian's impression of Mo Wen soared. Suddenly, she was not afraid of whether he was a ghost or not.
"You have seen it before. I am an ancient martial art practitioner. I fell into the forest because I was injured. I come from an ancient medical family and have been learning medical skills since I was young. I went up the mountain to gather medicinal herbs when I was three. My medicinal herb gathering skills are naturally superb. So, you should not be paranoid and doubt those illusory things, "Mo Wen said plainly.
He explained it now to prevent such a big mistake from happening again in the future.
"So, you are a powerful ancient martial art practitioner. I have eyes but failed to recognize you. I have offended you before."
Wang Qian blushed and hurriedly curtsied. Actually, even if Mo Wen did not say it, she had guessed it. How could a normal person trample Cheng Shuangjiang under his feet? Not only was Mo Wen an ancient martial art practitioner, but his cultivation was at least at the later stage of the Sea of Qi Realm. It was very likely that he was a powerful ancient martial art practitioner at the pinnacle of the Sea of Qi Realm.
Before this, she had indeed overreacted and offended him for no reason. It was only because she had preconceived notions that Mo Wen was just a normal person. She did not think in the direction of an ancient martial art practitioner, so she felt that Mo Wen's actions were somewhat unbelievable. But if Mo Wen was an ancient martial art practitioner and came from an ancient medical family, it was not impossible for him to master some profound medicinal herb gathering skills.
Wan 'er felt very guilty. She kept her head down and did not speak. Why did she not believe Big Brother Mo?
"Alright, that was just a misunderstanding. Let's continue gathering medicinal herbs. There are many medicinal herbs on this mountain. We don't have to run so far."
Mo Wen smiled and brushed the matter aside. To prevent the two of them from feeling guilty, he took the lead and walked up the mountain. There were many medicinal herbs on the mountain that had not been gathered. There was enough for Wan 'er to gather.
Mo Wen took the initiative to change the topic. He brought up the topic of gathering medicinal herbs that the two of them were most concerned about. Their mood immediately improved. They walked behind Mo Wen excitedly.
With Mo Wen around, they believed that Wan 'er would be able to complete the task very easily.
The entire morning was spent busily harvesting medicinal herbs. However, no one felt tired. Instead, they were rather excited. This was the first time Wan 'er and Wang Qian had experienced such a bountiful harvest.
Mo Wen looked at the satisfied smile on Wan 'er's face, and a smile welled up in his heart.
At noon, the three of them set up a bonfire under a cliff and started to hunt. The location they chose was very good. It could block the mountain wind and not affect the barbecue of the game. Moreover, they could see the scenery in the distance.
Mo Wen was holding a skewer of grilled fish in his hand. He was constantly rolling it, and the aroma of the meat filled the air. The golden oil kept dripping from the fish and dripping into the bonfire.
"Big Brother Mo, you're really amazing."
Wan'er's little face was red. Looking at the bamboo basket full of medicinal herbs, her face was full of happiness. The amount of herbs they had gathered in the morning was equivalent to five days' worth of tasks for her. For the next five days, she wouldn't have to worry about gathering herbs.
Wang Qian's gaze was also full of admiration as she looked at Mo Wen. Right now, she no longer doubted Mo Wen. She did not think that he was bragging at all.
In the surrounding mountains, almost all the medicinal herbs had been gathered by the Five Tigers Sect disciples in spring. It was rather difficult to find a stalk of medicinal herb now. Even some of the sect elders who were proficient in gathering herbs were unwilling to search for medicinal herbs in this area.
Mo Wen really seemed to be able to smell the scent of medicinal herbs from ten miles away. Every time he dug, he would be able to find so many medicinal herbs in the mountain that they originally thought had almost no medicinal herbs in one morning. Right now, even if Mo Wen said that he could see medicinal herbs from ten miles away, Wang Qian would definitely believe him.
"Wan 'er, after you're done eating, we'll go to the mountains further away in the afternoon and see if we can find spiritual medicine."
Mo Wen passed the grilled fish in his hand to Wan 'er. He picked up a peeled rabbit and continued to roast it. Although these medicinal herbs were equivalent to five days' worth of tasks for Wan 'er, she still had more than twenty days to gather herbs. It was far from enough. It was impossible for him to bring Wan 'er out to gather herbs every day, so he decided to settle this once and for all.
There was a rule in the Five Tigers Sect. Any disciple who could gather spiritual medicine would not have to gather herbs for five years. They would also receive great rewards from the sect. If it was an ordinary disciple, they would definitely be promoted to the sect's inner sect disciple.
This rule was rather tempting. However, spiritual medicine was also sufficiently precious. The value of a stalk of spiritual medicine was difficult to estimate for ordinary sects.
"Ah, find spiritual medicine!"
Wan 'er's eyes widened. This was something she had never thought of before.
Wang Qian was also shocked. She looked at Mo Wen in astonishment. He actually wanted to find spiritual medicine?
Spiritual medicine was something that could only be found by luck. The Five Tigers Sect disciples had not gathered spiritual medicine for at least three years. This kind of thing could not be found. They could only rely on luck. If they were lucky, they might be able to find a rare stalk of spiritual medicine in the next moment. However, if they were unlucky, they might not be able to find a stalk of spiritual medicine even if they spent their entire lives.
Hence, deliberately searching for spiritual medicine was a very unrealistic thing to do.
However, if a disciple could find spiritual medicine and hand it over to the sect, they would receive a great reward from the sect. They would also not have to leave the mountain to gather herbs for five years. No matter how many ordinary medicinal herbs there were, they could not compare to a stalk of spiritual medicine.
If Wan 'er could gather a stalk of spiritual medicine, she would naturally not have to leave the mountain to gather herbs.
"Big Brother Mo, isn't finding spiritual medicine too difficult?"
Wan 'er said in a low voice. She knew that Mo Wen wanted to help her. However, finding spiritual medicine was too difficult. It was not something that could be found just because one wanted to. The Five Tigers Sect had seniors who specialized in finding spiritual medicine. However, they had not found much over the years. For things like spiritual medicine, all the sects in the entire Taihang Mountains were scrambling for it. Almost all that could be found had been gathered. Those that could not be found would never be found again.
"How would I know if I don't try? After all, I still have quite a bit of time today."
Mo Wen smiled. A stalk of spiritual medicine was nothing to him. He had a large collection of spiritual medicine in his medicine spiritual ring. However, it was not appropriate for him to take the spiritual medicine in the medicine spiritual ring out to Wan 'er. After all, those spiritual medicine had been gathered for a long time. There was still a big difference between them and spiritual medicine that had just been gathered. If he let Wan 'er hand over the spiritual medicine that had been gathered long ago to the sect, once it was discovered, it would most likely cause more trouble.
Hence, this spiritual medicine could only be gathered at the last minute.
The spiritual energy in the Taihang Mountains was very thin. The probability of spiritual medicine growing there was very low. However, such a huge primeval forest would certainly have some spiritual medicine growing there. Perhaps it would not be easy to find them, but for him, it should not be a big problem.
Upon hearing this, Wan 'er nodded. For things like spiritual medicine, it would naturally be best if they could find it. If they could not, there was no need to be too concerned. After all, today's task had been completed. They could go further into the mountains to take a look.
The few of them had eaten and drunk their fill. They sat on a rock and rested for a while. Naturally, Mo Wen did not need to rest. However, he had to take care of the two girls' feelings. Although the two of them were ancient martial art practitioners, they were only in the Regulated Breathing Realm. At most, they were slightly stronger than ordinary people.
"Wan 'er, do you have a dream?"
Wang Qian asked as she sat on the rock. She hugged her beautiful legs as she looked at the white clouds in the sky. Her gaze was a little melancholic.
"I have a dream." Wan 'er nodded her head with a serious expression. She said, "My dream is to become a miracle physician with superb medical skills. I will practice medicine for the people and travel the world. I will prolong the lives of the people and pray for the blessings of heaven and earth."
Wan 'er's expression was serious. Her eyes were full of longing.
"Your dream is really ambitious. I have long known that although Wan 'er is young, you are broad-minded and have the world in your heart." Wang Qian smiled. However, there was a hint of loneliness in her eyes.
When Wan 'er saw this, her gaze also dimmed. Both of them understood that dreams were dreams. Everyone had dreams, but not everyone could realize their dreams. For someone like Wan' er, it was almost impossible to realize her dream in her lifetime.
A strange look flashed in Mo Wen's eyes. He looked at Wan 'er and suddenly laughed.
"Sister Wang Qian, what is your dream?" Wan 'er looked at Wang Qian.
"I don't have such lofty dreams as you do. My dream is very simple, and that is freedom. To be more specific, it is to live an unrestrained life. It would be best if I could become a martial arts expert and travel the world. Occasionally, I would help the weak, rob the rich to help the poor, and be a heroine. The world is so big. I want to see it. "
Wang Qian looked at the white clouds in the sky. However, she was very disappointed. As a disciple of an ancient martial arts sect, she did not have much freedom. Only if she could cultivate to the Qi Nucleation realm or even the Embryonic Breathing realm one day would she be able to live the life she wanted.
"Sister Wang Qian, we can not realize our dreams, but we can work hard in the direction of our dreams. Even if we cannot achieve it, we will not have any regrets in our hearts," Wan 'er said firmly.
Wan 'er said firmly. She had never given up. Whenever she had free time, she would study medicine. Although there were many things she did not understand, and some things were even more confusing, she persisted in studying, learning, and understanding. One day, she would be able to achieve something.
An ordinary disciple like her didn't have a master to guide her. Everything had to be figured out by herself. Every step she took was incomparably difficult.
Wang Qian smiled bitterly when she heard that. She was the closest to Wan 'er and naturally knew that Wan' er studied every day. She had never slacked off. Even when she came back exhausted from leaving early and returning late, she persisted in reading and studying, only going to bed very late. Wan'er was a person of great perseverance. This was something she was far inferior to. She could not see hope, and neither could Wan'er. However, Wan'er was far more hardworking than her.
"Wan 'er, the Martial Arts Circle Convention that is held once every five years is about to be held. Do you think that the Baili Sect will be able to maintain its position as one of the Ten Great Sects? Although the Baili Sect is usually very domineering, the fact that the Taihang Mountains produced one of the ten great sects of the martial arts circle is the pride of all the ancient martial art practitioners of the Taihang Mountains. "
"The legendary martial arts tournament! I really, really want to go and take a look. If I can go and take a look, I'm willing to reduce my lifespan by ten years. " Wang Qian rested her chin on one hand. Recently, the hottest topic in the martial arts circle was the upcoming Martial Arts Circle Convention. (To be continued.)
