A four-year-old medical prodigy descended to the mortal realm, and the entire capital sought her tre

Later, Zhou Ruo told Zhao Jinzhong about the pattern of spiritual power growth that she had discovered.

After listening, Zhao Jinzhong nodded thoughtfully and said, "Yes! That's pretty much what I guessed before."

But after you said that, it feels clearer now.

That seems to be the case, and let's not even discuss the magnitude of the merit, since ordinary people cannot judge the magnitude of merit.

It seemed that the higher the official rank of the person being saved, the more spiritual power Zhou Ruoneng would gain.

Thinking about this, an idea flashed through Zhao Jinzhong's mind.

"If that's really the case, Ruoruo, if you were to cure the current emperor's illness, how much would your spiritual power increase?"

Zhao Jinzhong frowned and pondered for a moment, then exclaimed with delight as if he had made a new discovery, "Could it have filled up completely right away?"

"Brother, is the emperor you mentioned the most powerful person in the world?"

Zhou Ruo had read about emperors, kings, and generals in books...

She viewed the emperor as being like the greatest sect leader in her cultivation world.

"Yes!" Zhao Jinzhong replied, "The Emperor is much more capable than my father."

Zhou Ruo's eyes sparkled. "Yes, yes, brother, let's go treat the Emperor!"

Zhao Jinzhong gave an awkward smile, "But the current emperor isn't ill..."

"Hmm—what a pity..." Zhou Ruo was slightly disappointed.

Zhao Jinzhong was both amused and exasperated. He realized he shouldn't have guided Zhou Ruo like that. "Ruo Ruo, you shouldn't say things like that!"

Zhou Ruo nodded obediently and shut her little mouth.

For the next few days, Zhou Ruo, accompanied by Zhao Jinzhong, collected poisonous herbs in the woods and on the mountain.

All the poisonous plants that Zhou Ruo sensed were drained of her energy.

From now on, we no longer need to worry about our soldiers being accidentally poisoned by poisonous plants.

That day, Zhou Ruo was tired from collecting poisonous herbs in the mountains and forests, so he and Zhao Jinzhong sat on a tree branch and picked fruit to eat.

Zhou Ruo held a fruit in her hand, chewed on the pulp, and nodded her little head rhythmically.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up.

"Wow—that's so poisonous—"

Zhao Jinzhong paused for a moment, then followed Zhou Ruo's gaze to look down at the tree.

A dark black snake was being entangled by something, twisting and writhing on the ground.

Zhao Jinzhong looked at his and Zhou Ruo's location and confirmed that they were safe.

Then he leaned forward a little to see what had made the snake look like that.

"It's all dark, and it looks like something is biting the snake?" Zhao Jinzhong couldn't see clearly.

"They're centipedes and scorpions!" Zhou Ruo calmly ate her fruit while watching the battle, her eyes full of excitement.

Zhao Jinzhong instantly got goosebumps all over his body. "If...if...they're...very poisonous, right?"

He himself didn't realize that his voice was trembling slightly.

"Of course! The poison of all the poisonous herbs we've collected these past few days combined isn't as potent as that snake's venom!"

Zhou Ruo said with great pride.

"It...it's so poisonous, why is it being attacked like this by other things?" Zhao Jinzhong could see that the snake was struggling desperately.

"Because centipedes and scorpions are more venomous than snakes!"

Zhou Ruo had a very satisfied expression on her face, watching the three little ones fight fiercely with a smile.

Zhao Jinzhong was so startled by Zhou Ruo's explanation that the fruit in his hand slipped and fell to the ground.

He was so nervous that he unconsciously gripped the branch tightly, worried that he would fall off the tree and disturb the three "kings" from their duel.

"Why are you... so happy?" Zhao Jinzhong asked, puzzled by Zhou Ruo's proud expression.

Zhou Ruo exclaimed as if she had found a treasure, "Hehe! After they've finished fighting, they'll all be mine!"

"What?!" Zhao Jinzhong stared wide-eyed at Zhou Ruo.

Zhao Jinzhong accepted the offer to collect poisonous plants for his own use, but these were poisonous snakes, scorpions, and centipedes! How could this little kid accept them?

"Wow..." Zhao Jinzhong shuddered after processing the thought. "The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind."

He stared at Zhou Ruo and said to himself, "Poisonous centipedes and scorpions catch poisonous snakes, so what is Ruo Ruo behind them?"

Zhou Ruo casually said, "You can call me 'Poison Fairy,' hehehe!"

Zhao Jinzhong: "Hehe...hehe..."

"Hey! Stop it! Stop it!" Zhou Ruo, who was watching with great interest, suddenly spoke up to stop them.

Then quickly slide down the tree trunk to the ground.

"You!" Zhou Ruo pointed at the centipede and scorpion on the ground and said, "Stop fighting! Don't kill the black snake!"

She needs to collect live ones, so that the toxic energy is strong enough.

As if they understood Zhou Ruo's command, the centipede and scorpion quickly released the venomous snake.

The venomous snake struggled several more times before finally calming down, barely clinging to life.

"Alright! Let's do it now!" Zhou Ruo circulated her spiritual power to collect the toxic energy from the three poisonous creatures one by one.

Zhao Jinzhong stood under the tree, keeping a distance of about one meter from the three poisonous creatures.

His legs felt weak, but he wanted to protect Zhou Ruo, so he forced himself to stay by her side as much as possible.

In just a short while, the three poisonous creatures on the ground quickly turned into dried corpses.

After a while, it turned into powder, and a gust of wind blew it away.

Zhao Jinzhong looked at the scene on the ground, then looked up at Zhou Ruo.

Zhou Ruo exhaled a large puff of smoke, startling Zhao Jinzhong.

"Ruoruo! What's wrong with you?"

Zhou Ruo exhaled, clearing the smoke, and then said to Zhao Jinzhong with satisfaction:

"I'm fine, brother, it's just that it's too cold."

Zhao Jinzhong pondered for a moment, "What you just exhaled... was frost?!"

"Hehe." Zhou Ruo nodded, a layer of frost forming on her eyebrows.

However, as she quickly mobilized the fire element within her five elements to balance the energy within her body, the frost on her face soon dissipated.

Zhou Ruo felt a strong energy within her body, and confidence quietly grew in her heart.

"Young General—Young General!" Zhao Yucheng's guards ran quickly towards them from a distance.

"Young General, the General wants you to return to your tents immediately; it's urgent!"

Zhao Jinzhong led Zhou Ruo back to the military camp as quickly as possible.

"Father, what's wrong? What happened?" Zhao Jinzhong rushed back, carrying Zhou Ruo in his arms.

Zhao Yucheng looked worried. "A letter just arrived from the manor saying that your mother is unwell."

Zhao Jinzhong: "What?!"

Zhou Ruo: "Huh?"

Zhao Yucheng composed himself and said to the children, "Zhong'er, Ruo'er, hurry up and pack your things, we're heading back to the capital immediately!"

Zhao Jinzhong didn't have much stuff, so he just packed up and that was it.

He went to Zhou Ruo's tent to see how Zhou Ruo was packing.

As soon as the tent flap was lifted, Zhou Ruo was seen sitting on the ground.

She hesitated, unable to make a decision, as the soldiers brought her several baskets of fruit.

Because Granny Wang reminded her that she needed to hurry and shouldn't bring too many heavy things on the carriage, otherwise the horse wouldn't run fast.

Each time, Zhou Ruo would randomly pick out two fruits from the basket, "Apples, we have them in the backyard, so let's keep the lemons."

She put the apple back and put the lemon in a separate cloth bag.

He picked up two more fruits. "Oranges, we have them at Wudeyuan, so let's keep the lemons."

"We have pears in the backyard, so let's keep lemons."

"Cantaloupe...it seems there aren't any in the manor, so let's keep the lemons instead."
