"Then come over and watch carefully. I'll teach you how to brew the medicine."

Wu Ruilan beckoned Huang Yu to her side and then laid out the medicinal herbs for him to see.

Good heavens, these are mostly highly nourishing medicinal herbs, such as ginseng, astragalus, deer antler, and many other herbs that Huang Yu doesn't even recognize.

This pot of medicine is quite valuable.

Wu Ruilan explained, "The Tengshan medicinal bath was originally intended to guide disciples to acquire their abilities, but it was accidentally discovered that highly talented disciples can naturally stimulate their body's potential and gain innate superpowers during the process."

"Essentially, it is during the process of gaining something that the spirit and the body reach a deep resonance. Tengshan medicinal bath amplifies this resonance, thus having the potential to stimulate the human body!"

Huang Yu frowned and said, "But I've already obtained it, can I still achieve this kind of resonance?"

"There's a chance my medicine can amplify that chance, but the final result depends on your luck."

Wu Ruilan threw the medicinal herbs into the pot one by one, occasionally adding real ingredients to guide the interaction of the various components.

Huang Yu looked at it carefully. In fact, he thought that alchemy and weapon crafting were very similar, except that weapon crafting was about giving objects special abilities, while alchemy was about giving medicine special effects.

The process of decocting the medicine was lengthy, but neither of them was in a hurry; in fact, they quite enjoyed the feeling of the rising steam.

"What did you mean when you said last time that you wanted to do something great that would benefit all people and leave a lasting mark on history?"

Wu Ruilan suddenly asked.

Upon hearing this, Huang Yu's lips curled up slightly; the fish had finally taken the bait!

"Aunt Wu, you are a top-notch pharmacist. How many people in the world do you think can afford your medicine?"

"Even if you do your best, how many people can you save in a day?"

Wu Ruilan frowned and said, "Even if I do my best to refine medicine, I can only refine medicine for a little over thirty people a day."

"That's the problem. No matter how powerful our superhuman abilities are, they have nothing to do with ordinary people. They can't benefit from our abilities!"

"In this world, only what belongs to the masses is eternal."

"If you want to achieve great things, you must make your methods impact the most people! Only then will the world remember you!"

Chapter 31 The Barefoot Doctor's Manual

Hearing Huang Yu's words, Wu Ruilan seemed to understand something: "You mean, you want me to reveal the formula for the secret medicine?"

"Of course not. Your methods are too sophisticated. Even if they were made public, not many people would be able to learn them, and even if they did, most people couldn't afford to use them..."

"What the public needs is not these profound things, but the simplest and most practical things!"

"Ideally, just one look at it will tell you how to treat the illness and the wound. Even if the treatment method is not accurate, it is better than nothing!"

Wu Ruilan seemed to have grasped something, a flash of inspiration struck her, but it was still vague and she couldn't quite pinpoint the exact point.

Her heart couldn't help but pound with excitement. She hadn't felt this way in so many years, except when she was learning alchemy in her youth. As she became more and more involved in worldly affairs, there were fewer and fewer things that could excite her.

"Tell me more, stop keeping me in suspense!"

Huang Yu said, "Tengshan is a sect in Fujian, and it mainly focuses on medicine refining. They should be very familiar with various medicinal herbs in Fujian."

"You have traveled the world for many years and have seen all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases. You should be very familiar with the various ailments in Fujian."

Wu Ruilan murmured, "Yes, I know exactly which medicinal herbs can treat which ailments and how to treat them."

"Then why don't you compile all this knowledge into a book?"

"Let's compile a medical manual based on the knowledge of Fujian. Anyone who can read can use this book to perform simple medical treatments!"

"The methods used are mostly local, low-cost therapies, such as readily available herbs and some effective folk remedies."

Wu Ruilan trembled uncontrollably: "Good, good, your idea is exactly what I want!"

Huang Yu laughed and said, "I think this book should be called 'The Barefoot Doctor's Manual'."

Wu Ruilan asked in confusion, "Why is it called the Barefoot Doctor's Manual?"

"Because this book mainly serves rural areas where people cannot afford medical care, most of those who learn this book are literate farmers who work barefoot in the fields when they are not seeking medical treatment, and carry their medicine kits to practice medicine when they are seeking medical treatment."

"Okay, 'The Barefoot Doctor's Manual,' that's a good name, let's call it 'The Barefoot Doctor's Manual'!"

Wu Ruilan nodded repeatedly, and despite her excitement, her hands remained perfectly focused as she prepared the medicine.

Immediately, she looked at Huang Yu and asked seriously, "Why entrust such a good thing to someone like me from the Quanxing Sect? Can't you do it yourself? You can enjoy the fame and recognition for yourself."

Huang Yu shook his head and smiled, "Actually, this is something I'd like to do too, but I have more important things to do..."

"But things always have to be done by someone. So whether I do it or you do it, it doesn't really matter, as long as the task gets done."

At this point, Wu Ruilan's expression gradually became serious, and she solemnly said, "Don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter well!"

"I will use all my knowledge, even shamelessly going back to Tengshan to research materials, to compile this book that will benefit the public!"

"Furthermore, I will write your name in the book! This book owes a debt to you!"

At this point, Wu Ruilan glanced at Huang Yu, seemingly a little dissatisfied: "Nameless brat, can you tell me your identity now? Is it fun to keep hiding it all this time?"

"I'm about to pass on all my skills to you, so it's time to be honest with me."

"How about I write your name as 'Nameless' in the barefoot doctor's manual?"

Huang Yu laughed loudly, not caring at all about revealing his true identity to Wu Ruilan.

His purpose in disguising himself was simply to better infiltrate various sects and learn their true skills. Beyond that purpose, he still preferred to travel the world under his own identity.

For him, identity is merely a garment that can be changed at any time; when he wears it, he plays the role wholeheartedly, and when he takes it off, he reveals his true self.

All the pretense was just for efficiency, to reduce trouble, not because he was afraid of trouble!

"That's only right! Mother Wu taught me these skills and is my mentor; she has the right to know my true identity!"

Huang Yu immediately removed his disguise: "Disciple Huang Yu greets Mother Wu!"

Wu Ruilan suddenly realized: "Who do we have here? It's Old Liu's disciple!"

"Then you are destined to be with my Quanxing Sect!"

Huang Yu asked in confusion, "You know me?"

Although he had met many members of the Quanxing sect while working with Liu Xueyi, and intelligence agencies from various factions were interested in him, surely Wu Ruilan knew about his existence?

Wu Ruilan laughed loudly: "What do you think?! Master Liu is an old man of Quanxing. I know him well, so naturally I will pay attention to his disciples."

"Moreover, so far you are the only disciple who has mastered his techniques! I was worried that his techniques would be lost!"

"So that's how it is." Huang Yu nodded slightly, then reminded her, "Aunt Wu, please don't tell anyone about this for now. The fewer people who know about my ability to disguise myself at will, the better in the short term."

Wu Ruilan's lips curled up slightly: "Hey, thinking of doing something bad?"

"I could tell from the first moment I saw you that you're not a conventional person, but that's exactly my type."

"It's a pity you're not a member of Quanxing, otherwise you would definitely have a place there!"

Huang Yu smiled but didn't say anything. There was no way he would join Quanxing. Not only was there Liu the Dough Man's request, but he also looked down on Quanxing.

Joining Quanxing offers virtually no benefits, but it brings a whole host of troubles.

Seeing this, Wu Ruilan didn't say anything more. She turned around, tapped the big pot, and said, "The medicine is ready. Bring over a big bucket, pour in hot water, and we can prepare for the medicinal bath."

Huang Yu curiously leaned closer to take a look. The aroma of medicine was intoxicating, a blend of various herbs that was refreshing and pleasant.

A wisp of breath churned in the medicinal soup, and Huang Yu could feel the violent medicinal power contained within it.

Is this the Tengshan medicinal bath that can stimulate the body's potential?

"Alright, stop looking. I'll teach you our sect's core technique first, called 'Abstaining from Grains and Nourishing Qi,' which can help you better absorb the medicinal power and develop your body's potential."

Wu Ruilan explained: "Quegu means not eating grains and removing impurities, but you can take herbs as an energy substitute; Shiqi refers to the method of breathing and exhalation, which can be guided and can also adjust and strengthen the innate one."

"The original text of 'Quegu Shiqi' originated from the Taoist health preservation techniques. It was later obtained by my ancestors in Tengshan and has been improved by generations of people. It is now quite different from the original version."

"The most unique thing is that while taking the Tengshan medicinal bath, learning the 'Quegu Shiqi' (a traditional Chinese medicine method) can greatly increase the chances of getting the medicine, and at the same time, it can better absorb the medicinal power and stimulate the body's potential."

"It seems that this kind of stumbling practice can better stimulate the resonance between the soul and the body, but I don't quite understand why."

After saying that, Wu Ruilan began to dictate the art of "Abstaining from Grains and Eating Qi," helping Huang Yu master the technique in the shortest possible time.

After Wu Ruilan finished speaking, two pieces of professional information quietly appeared in the consciousness panel.

【Abstaining from Grains and Nourishing Qi (Beginner 0/100)】

[Acquired a Qi Consumption Technique, triggering the class advancement to Qi Consumption Alchemist (Tier 2)]

Chapter 32 Advancement to [Qi Consumption Cultivator]

Looking at the advancement information for [Qi-Eating Refiner], Huang Yu was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected that Tengshan's cultivation technique could also trigger the [Refiner] class advancement.

Advancing as a cultivator is not easy. Judging from the previous advancement requirements for the [Five Elements Cultivator], one must learn the corresponding Daoist techniques.

These high-level cultivation methods are generally the core inheritances of famous sects, such as the Golden Light Mantra and Five Thunder Orthodox Method of the Celestial Master's Mansion, the Tai Chi of the Wudang Sect, and the Inner Alchemy of the Quanzhen Sect.

Huang Yu had thought that the next advancement to [Refiner] would be at the Sanyi Sect, but he didn't expect to have an unexpected gain from Aunt Wu.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. After all, Tengshan is a major sect in the world of supernatural beings, with a long history, so it's reasonable that it has some high-level inheritances.

Next, Huang Yu quickly scanned the advancement requirements for the [Qi-Eating Refiner] class.

[Extraordinary Profession - Qi Consumption Cultivator (Tier 2)]

[Job Change Requirements: Learn a method of Qi Consumption and practice it to a high level of proficiency]

After changing jobs:

1. Attribute growth

2. Acquire a professional talent: Nine Breaths of Breath

3. Obtain special bonuses:

(1) A more acute perception of the energy of heaven and earth

(2) It is easier to draw upon the energy between heaven and earth.

The conditions for this advancement are quite simple, far less complicated than those for the [Five Elements Refiner]. He will soon be able to master the [Abstaining from Grains and Nourishing Qi] technique.

Huang Yu was more concerned about the professional talents and special bonuses gained by the [Qi-Eating Refiner] class, which seemed to be abilities from the "Saint Thief" lineage.

The so-called "Sage Thief" is someone who absorbs the creations of heaven and earth for his own use. Techniques like the Six Treasures Immortal Thief and Stepping the Dipper are all part of the Sage Thief lineage.
