Disciple of the Alchemist Goddess

Leaving the Village

"It's been three days. Wan Tian, you can already open your eyes now. Looks like that girl is also about to leave this place." Yang Yue spoke to Wan Tian and stopped cultivating.

Coinciding with Wan Tian opening his eyes, Su Menglan had finished tidying up all of her belongings. Now it is time for them to continue their next journey.

"It's a shame I have to go back. If only I could come back here, it would be nice. Hey, you done too?" ask Su Menglan.

Wan Tian stood up undressed and picked up the clothes next to him, replying, "It's done. We can get out of here."

"Hey, your attention! Put on your clothes before you talk to a girl!" Su Menglan scolded Wan Tian who was not yet dressed but had already stood up. He closed his eyes but still peeked a little.

Wan Tian felt guilty about his naked state. He turned around and immediately put on clothes. But instead it made Su Menglan disappointed at just taking a quick look. He recalled Wan Tian's body three days ago was very alarming. But after a three-day soak, it has turned fresher and cleaner.

After putting on his shabby clothes, Wan Tian walked out of the well. Then approach Su Menglan. Although his body was already clean but the clothes he was wearing were already very unfit.

"Hmm ... do you want to dress like this in the future? I don't know why you could be here. Are you lost?" ask Su Menglan. He was curious about the origin of Wan Tian who could come to the cave.

Wan Tian did not know what to answer. Remembering his life was now far away from his village. He was banished and considered dead by his aunt. Now there is no other purpose.

"You just say, you don't know where to go. Wan Tian, there might be a good thing if that girl can take you to a decent place. You can ask her, about the path to a place where there are many herbal medicines," Yang Yue said giving a boost.

"I'm a homeless person and a kara. Does senior brother know of a place that many herbal medicines are? I think I'm still a little dizzy. But I don't have the money to buy it. Just show me the forest or something."

"really. If you say that, maybe this girl will help you. But don't expect much later either" Yang Yue said.

Su Menglan thought for a moment and went back to observing the poor boy. He felt compassion, wanted to help but did not know whether or not to.

"Maybe at my grandfather's place there's a medicinal plant. But he didn't allow anyone else to touch his plants. Worried about being stolen. Emm, but you can't cultivate. Maybe you have any hope of being accepted to take care of the plant."

Before deciding to bring Wan Tian, Su Menglan had to think twice. He cannot just invite others. Moreover, his place was very secretive and his grandfather was an old and grumpy man.

"Lately he likes to complain about not being able to care for his own medicinal plants because it is very old. What if we tried to ask my grandfather. But no promises will be accepted."

"To be a great person, there are no shortcuts. It is likely that you will get great benefits when it comes to its place. Just follow the girl for a while. Before we find anything to absorb the core of the fire in the cave."

Looking for herbs in the forest is very risky and can cause death. But when practicing while caring for plants will also be good. The aura of the herbal plant can be absorbed every day and can take its benefits. Moreover, to train both muscle and body strength, Wan Tian needed to work.

"The trip to my grandfather's house was quite far. You put on my clothes first. You take it easy, this is a robe that a man or a woman can wear." Su Menglan took out clothes from the space bag. He handed it to Wan Tian to be worn by the boy.

"Thank you. I will definitely wash and return it later," Wan Tian said innocently. His clothes are not worth wearing either. He also has to work hard to get his clothes back.

"No need to return. This is just for you. Oh yeah, your name is Wan Tian, right? I guess you'll call me Menglan's brother from now on."

"Son Menglan? Right, my name is Wan Tian. It's weird that anyone would want to talk to me so well. Then, for the gift, I thank you. I promise I'll repay you." Wan Tian felt happy that there were also people who cared about him again after Goddess Yang Yue.

"No problem, Wan Tian. Eh, aren't you used to meeting good people, huh? I think everyone's gonna be nice to you 'cause you look like a good kid, too."

However Wan Tian only replied with a smile. He doesn't have to explain what his life was like. The most important thing right now was that they had to get to their destination immediately.

Su Menglan can actually run at high speed when alone. Yet it was currently with a person who could not even cultivate. Although his body had already been soaked with Fairy Water. If ordinary cultivators would have a chance of increasing his cultivation. Another case with Wan Tian who can not practice.

With Wan Tian, Su Menglan did not walk alone anymore. But it was natural that the boy helped a lot. He will be a man who can ease the work of an elderly man who cannot do such work as when young again.

"We'll walk for two days. Think of me too while resting my strength. Let's start the road from here," Su Menglan asked.

Su Menglan and Wan Tian went hand in hand. While Yang Yue also rested for a while. He felt that the girl who took Wan Tian away was a good person.

"Since you are a good girl, then I will help you increase your cultivation. And some useful abilities." Yang Yue said casually and was heard by Wan Tian.

Hearing Yang Yue's words, made Wan Tian nod his head in agreement. He could not speak to Yang Yue at this moment. Because if he does that, he will be caught or considered a lunatic.

They walked away from the rock mountain that separated Yanshi village with other places. The moment they actually came out of Yanshi village, they would find it hard to return again. The road every day will change. Another case if people who have high cultivation. Losing track of the road is not a problem.

Basically Yanshi mountain is a formation that is installed so that people outside the village can not enter carelessly. While Su Menglan was actually unable to find Yanshi village as well if he came alone.
