A mountain forest.
Qian Yu brandished her stone knife and walked forward.
This was his first time venturing into the mountains alone, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, fearing that a monster might attack at any moment. But when he thought of the plague, he strengthened his resolve.
"Let's test the power of this Grass Identification Whip first."
Qian Yu murmured to herself, casually plucked a leaf, and gently touched it with her whip.
The moment the whip touched the leaves, a message suddenly flashed through Qian Yu's mind. "Yuguang grass, cold in nature and bitter in taste, clears heat and detoxifies, can treat summer heat and night sweats, malaria with chills and fever..."
Qian Yu was stunned. He tried it several times and was able to get the corresponding information each time.
"This Grass Identification Whip is truly amazing!"
"I just don't know its name."
He carefully noted down the characteristics of each plant.
As the sun rose higher, Qian Yu had already memorized more than a dozen kinds of plants.
However, most of them are common weeds with no special medicinal properties, but a few herbs that can clear heat and detoxify have also been found.
Just as he was about to go deeper, he suddenly slipped and fell downwards.
"Ah--" Qian Yu cried out in surprise, frantically scratching with her hands, and luckily managed to grab a thick vine, leaving her suspended in mid-air.
He struggled to climb back to safety, panting heavily with lingering fear.
It turned out to be a hidden cliff, his view obscured by dense vines.
At that moment, he noticed a peculiar plant growing on the edge of the cliff—it was entirely purplish-red, with star-shaped leaves, and emitted a faint, exotic fragrance.
Qian Yu carefully touched it with the Grass Identification Whip, and information immediately appeared in her mind. " Purple Star Grass, warm in nature and pungent in taste, promotes blood circulation, removes blood stasis, and unblocks meridians, but it contains trace amounts of toxins and needs to be used in conjunction with licorice..."
"Great! This might help with the plague!" Qian Yu was overjoyed, carefully picking the Purple Star Grass and placing it in the vine basket.
Just then, wanting to test the true medicinal properties of the herb, he hesitated for a moment, then plucked a leaf of the Purple Star Grass and put it in his mouth.
The leaves have a slightly spicy taste upon first bite, which then turns sweet.
Shortly after swallowing it, Qian Yu felt a warm current spread from her abdomen to her whole body, and her spirits lifted.
"It really works!" Qian Yu was even more convinced of the value of the Purple Star Grass.
As the sun began to set, Qian Yu's wicker baskets were already filled with various plants.
He carefully retraced his steps, mentally reviewing what he had learned that day.
It was dusk when we returned to the tribe.
The gathering team that went into the mountains had just returned, everyone looking exhausted, but with little to show for their efforts.
" Qian Yu? You went into the mountains too?" Lin Yue looked at Qian Yu, who was covered in mud, in surprise. "What happened to you...?"
Qian Yu smiled shyly, "I... I also want to go and gather some herbs."
A young man nearby scoffed, "You've hardly ever been to the mountains, what are you picking? Don't bring back poisonous herbs and harm someone!"
Qian Yu didn't argue; she simply placed the wicker basket on the ground and began tidying up the plants inside.
"This is Purple Star Grass, which can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis; this is artemisia leaf, which clears heat and detoxifies; this is imperata root, which promotes diuresis and reduces swelling..."
Qian Yu introduced each plant in detail, precisely describing its medicinal properties.
Everyone was stunned, and Lin Yue's eyes widened. " Qian Yu, how do you know all this?"
Qian Yu hesitated for a moment, not revealing Lin Tian's existence. "I... I accidentally obtained a treasure that can identify the medicinal properties of plants."
The crowd was skeptical, but Qian Yu's accurate description left them no choice but to believe him.
Soon, the news spread throughout the entire tribe, and even the chief came to check on it personally.
" Qian Yu, are you telling the truth?" The leader excitedly grasped Qian Yu's hand. "You really can identify herbs?"
Qian Yu nodded and took out the Grass Identification Whip: "That's what I rely on."
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Qian Yu demonstrated his amazing ability to Grass Identification Whip. For each plant he identified, he had its medicinal properties and uses in his mind.
"This is divine blessing upon our human race!" The old chieftain exclaimed, tears welling in his eyes.
Qian Yu shook his head and said, "Chief, although the herbs we found today are useful, their effect on the plague is limited. I need to venture deeper into the mountains to find more effective herbs."
"But the deep mountains are dangerous..." Lin Yue said worriedly.
"I'm not afraid." Qian Yu's gaze was firm. "For my people, I'm willing to take the risk."
In the days that followed, Qian Yu ventured deep into the mountains and forests every day, using her Grass Identification Whip to identify various plants.
To his surprise, he did not encounter any powerful demonic beasts, but only some wild animals with little offensive power.
Once, he accidentally ate a poisonous plant, but luckily his strong stomach saved him from danger.
Another time, I was almost bitten by a venomous snake, but luckily I managed to identify the snake-repelling herb using the Grass Identification Whip...
The people in the tribe gradually changed their attitude towards him, from initial doubt to admiration, and many young people even took the initiative to ask to follow him to learn about herbal medicine.
At night, Qian Yu gently stroked the Grass Identification Whip in her hand, her heart filled with gratitude.
"Senior, I don't know who you are, but thank you for giving me the ability to help my people," he murmured to himself. "I will definitely find a way to eradicate the plague and live up to your expectations."
The next morning, Qian Yu packed her bags and headed to another mountain range.
"This herb is quite nice."
With a smile, Qian Yu plucked some grass from the ground and put it into her basket.
Suddenly, a beam of light appeared before him, and after a moment, Lin Tian's figure materialized.
"Senior, is that you?"
Qian Yu was overjoyed and quickly bowed respectfully, "Greetings, Senior."
Lin Tian nodded and said, "I came to see you. How's your progress lately?"
Qian Yu was overjoyed. "Senior, I have memorized more than fifty effective herbs. They can be used in various situations. I have them all in my mind."
After this period of time, Qian Yu has entered the Body Tempering Realm, whereas before he had been stuck in the Mortal Realm without making any progress.
Everything was given to me by my predecessors.
Lin Tian was somewhat surprised, "Didn't you write it down? There might be more in the future, can you remember them all?"
"Huh? Write what down?" Qian Yu, somewhat puzzled.
Lin Tian then came to his senses and slapped his forehead, "Oh no, I forgot to create a human script!"
"It's nothing," Lin Tian smiled awkwardly, flicked his sleeve, and a booklet and a pen appeared in his hand.
Then tap his forehead with your finger.
The Great Dao Rune appeared in his mind.
"Alright, what was just in your mind were Great Dao Rune. You can use this pen to write them down in this book."
"This Primordial Wilderness is so vast, with so many plants, how did you manage to memorize them all?"
Qian Yu quickly thanked her, "Thank you, senior."
With this, things will be much more convenient from now on.
"Your body has recovered, and you can now cultivate martial arts. Remember, martial arts are no weaker than other methods in the Primordial Wilderness; you can reach the pinnacle just as well."
After Lin Tian finished speaking, a golden light entered Qian Yu's mind again.
[ True Explanation of the Martial Way ]
"My human race's cultivation methods are still in their complete form."
It should be noted that their leader's highest level was only Martial Soul Realm; there were no higher levels.
"I will forever remember your great kindness, Qian Yu. May I ask your esteemed name?"
Qian Yu wanted to ask her senior's name, but when she looked up, she realized that her senior had already left.
"The senior said he was a member of the human race, and I would find out sooner or later."
