Godly Student

Chapter 112: Going Up The Mountains

After the meal, everyone wished to receive a miraculous pill from Cheng Yu. However, all of them were rejected by Cheng Yu.

“Everyone, my pills are very miraculous. But to make them is not an easy task. Besides, all of you aren’t ill, so it’s impossible for me to gift the pills to you,” Cheng Yu told the neighbors.

“Mr. Cheng, we also know that your pills are very precious. Then could you at least tell us how much money we must pay for you to sell it to us?” A middle-aged man asked.

“Uncle. It isn’t a money problem. If your body is suffering from a grave illness, I can give you the pill without asking for a cent. I know that some of you have some incurable diseases, but these diseases do not affect your daily lifestyle. I can only say I’m sorry.”

“Then Mr. Cheng, since your medical skills are so good, can you try to heal the incurable diseases in our bodies?” After they heard Cheng Yu’s words, it was inevitable that they felt regretful. However, they did not wish to give up. After all, Cheng Yu possessed such miraculous pills, so wouldn’t his medical skills be top-notch as well?

All those who were present currently were those who possessed incurable diseases, like rheumatism. Even though it would not bring their life to an end, these illnesses still brought them suffering. Especially when these illnesses couldn’t be cured.

Looking at these people expecting looks, Cheng Yu could not bear to ignore them. These people here were all kind and hardworking mortals. However, it was not realistic for Cheng Yu to give every single one of them a Reversal Pill. Even though the medical herbs to refine the Reversal Pill were not rare, the price was still quite expensive. It was impossible for him to give them each one just to cure some minor illnesses. That would just be a waste.

“I have an idea, but I currently don’t have any medicine. Next time, when I come over, I will bring them for you, ok?” Cheng Yu decided that when he returned, he would alter the refinement process of the Reversal Pill by a bit, allowing him to bulk produce them. This would allow him to cure all these minor illnesses. Naturally, all the previous effects of the pill would be gone, so no more full heal.

“Ok. Thank you, Mr. Cheng!”

“Mr. Cheng is truly a nice guy.”

“The village chief’s family is really fortunate! They are actually so lucky to be able to find such a good son-in-law,” After receiving Cheng Yu’s promise, everyone was overwhelmed with joy as they praised Cheng Yu continuously. Yao Na and her family were also very happy when they heard them. With their son-in-law being so capable, it was truly bringing them a lot of face!

——————————————————————————————————————

After they sent everyone back, Cheng Yu asked Qiang Zi and his dad to stay.

“Old Fu, I am here today to specially look for you,” Cheng Yu went straight to the point.

“Mr. Cheng, please speak freely,” Old Fu was confused. He was just an ordinary old man, why would Cheng Yu look for him?

“It’s like this. The medical herbs you sent me I will return to you now. However, I took a special herb from the bag of medical herbs,” Cheng Yu got Yao Na to take out the bag of herbs.

“Mr. Cheng, why are you doing this? You gave us such a big favor. I am actually quite ashamed of only giving you these few medical herbs. Why are you still giving them back to me? Could it be Mr. Cheng feels that all these herbs are useless?” When Old Fu saw the bag of herbs being returned to him, he was immediately stirred up.

“Old Fu, please don’t misunderstand my intention. I already took the medical herb I needed and Nana also knows about this. I am here today to inquire if you still remember that inside this bag of herbs there was this very unusual ginseng?”

“A very unusual ginseng?” Old Fu wrinkled his eyebrows and was quite confused, ”All these years, I was bedridden. All these medical herbs were plucked by Qiang Zi from the mountains.”

“Uncle Qiang Zi, do you still remember the unusual ginseng in the bag?” Cheng Yu turned around and asked Qiang Zi.

“This…” Qiang Zi touched his head as if he was trying very hard to recall, ”At that time, I found a very weird stem of ginseng. Is it the very tiny one?”

“Yes, yes, yes! That’s the one. Uncle Qiang Zi, do you still remember where you dug it up from?” Cheng Yu asked happily when he saw Qiang Zi had managed to recall it.

“Er…I think I plucked it from a very steep cliff. I remembered that I was gathering some lingzhi. Incidentally, I found this stem of ginseng. At that time, I also felt very strange. However, I didn’t bother about it. Over there, there was three stems of it and the other two were just too small. So I did not pluck them and only plucked one of them.”

“Oh? You are saying that there are still two of them?” Cheng Yu said surprisingly. During that time when Cheng Yu saw the Tianyuan Grass in the bag, he felt strange. Usually, Tianyuan Grass would grow in a pack. Why did Qiang Zi only pluck one of them? It turned out that the other two were too tiny. This was really an enormous boon for Cheng Yu!

“If it hasn’t been plucked, I think it should still be there. However, the place it grew on is very steep. Normally, no one would dare to go over. If Mr. Cheng wishes to obtain it, I can bring you over to take a look. Since this was done several years ago, I think the other two stems should have already grown as big as the plucked one.”

“Sure! Bring me over now,” Since there was news, Cheng Yu did not wish to delay. He wished he could actually fly there instead as he pulled Qiang Zi with him.

When they saw Cheng Yu being so anxious, everyone in the house was puzzled. It’s just an unusual looking ginseng. Why was Cheng Yu treating it as if it was a treasure? As their village was behind the mountain, to pluck ginseng from the mountain was a normal thing for them, so what was there to be feeling strange for?

“Cheng Yu, I also wish to go!” Yao Na ran forward. When she heard the ginseng grew on a steep cliff, Yao Na became worried.

“For what? It’s the wild! There will be worms, mosquitos, snakes and more wildlife.”

“I don’t dare. I just want to follow along!” Yao Na acted like a spoiled child. Cheng Yu was stunned as this was the first time he saw Yao Na display such a weird bearing.

Cheng Yu liked Yao Na being like this. He chuckled and agreed as he held onto her hands and advanced towards the mountain.

Although Yao Na intended to struggle, when she saw everyone smiling ambiguously, her heart approved of it instead. Actually, Yao Na also liked this kind of feeling. However, her face reddened. After all, she felt it was very unnatural to hold hands with her student in front of her family and neighbors, although everyone did not know that Cheng Yu was her student.

After entering the mountains, Cheng Yu felt that he had become one with the nature, as if he had returned to his past. Previously, Cheng Yu’s world was not so bustling. Besides, as a cultivator, he had basically stayed in the mountains the whole time to cultivate bitterly.

To be able to feel the smell in the mountains, Cheng Yu’s heart turned peaceful and comfortable. Although he had stayed in the city for so long and had gotten used to the life, when he entered the mountains, Cheng Yu still felt that he had as if returned to his old world.

“Ah! Snake!” While Cheng Yu was immersed in his feelings, he heard Yao Na shrieking painfully behind him.

Cheng Yu and Qiang Zi turned around and saw that a white and black coral snake was biting Yao Na’s leg. Qiang Zi was shocked! He knew that this kind of coral snake was very poisonous. If the bite wasn’t handle properly, it would be very fatal.

Cheng Yu went forward and pulled the snake away from Yao Na’s leg. He pinched it flat and threw it on the ground.

Cheng Yu carried Yao Na and placed her on his lap. He placed his index and middle finger on the side of Yao Na’s wound as he slowly forced the poison out of the wound. A moment later, a thick flow of black blood spattered out. Cheng Yu then placed his hand on top of the wound. Immediately, white lights flickered on top of the wound. After 10 seconds, the wound had already disappeared, and all that was visible was only a patch of white and delicate skin that no one would be able to tell had actually been bitten by a snake before.

Originally, Qiang Zi was extremely worried. After all, when they ascended the mountain, they did not bring anything with them. The coral snake poison spreads throughout the body very quickly, and if they were not able to find the cure as soon as possible, Yao Na would die easily.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Yu had handled it so decisively, and the way he handled it was so mysterious. It could be said that it was simply a miracle. No wonder Brother Cheng Jian’s wife had always elaborated that when Brother Cheng Jian was in the hospital, Mr. Cheng had actually miraculously cured all the patient in a flash. At that time, Qiang Zi had only treated it as a joke and did not expect this to actually be real!

“Mr. Cheng, are you a god?” Qiang Zi couldn’t help getting excited.

“Haha! It’s just some insignificant talent. Nana, it’s fine now,” When Yao Na was bitten, her whole body started to shiver as she laid in Cheng Yu’s bosom. Her complexion turned pale due to the pain and she bit her red lips. Even her forehead was also filled with cold sweat. Now that she was fine, she still had no idea what happened. Perhaps, it was due to the pain, causing her to react like that psychologically.

Yao Na lifted her head up and saw Cheng Yu was looking at her with tenderness, she looked at her legs once again. To her surprise, the wound had actually disappeared! As she had long known about how mystical Cheng Yu was, she still felt inconceivable! She stretched out her and touched the wound’s spot and found out that there was not even a single hint of pain!

“Come. Let me give you a piggyback up the mountain,” Cheng Yu ignored Yao Na’s astonishment as he turned Yao Na over and carried her on his back.
