This Is So Stupid, I'm Going to Die

Jiang Lan, of course, ignored the wise... that Shaman behind her. She walked over to several sickly patients and then reached out her hand to them.

Several Centipede -like Poisonous Insects crawled out of her sleeves, biting the patients' arms and beginning to suck their blood.

"This is like inhaling plague."

Li explained in a low voice, "The Plague God is going to take away her family."

Several Poisonous Insects were desperately sucking blood, looking quite terrifying. But conversely, as the Poisonous Insects sucked, the sickly-looking people actually looked much better.

"Hey, Wisdom Immortal."

Bai Qiuran examined it carefully, and said when Li wasn't paying attention, "If I'm not mistaken..."

"Hmm, that's probably the prototype of Gu Art."

Wisdom Immortal whispered, "That girl is using Poisonous Insects to treat others."

"Feudal superstition is deadly."

Bai Qiuran leisurely.

After sucking blood for a while, Jiang Lan withdrew the Poisonous Insects from her hand. The patients looked much better, and the Human Race in the crowd all showed joy, but no one expressed their gratitude to Jiang Lan.

She didn't say anything, turned around and walked back the way she came. The Lunatic -like Shaman followed behind her, chanting incantations and waving his Bone Staff.

"That's so stupid."

Seeing the Shaman's actions, Bai Qiuran felt very melancholy.

I'm going to die.

Jiang Lan probably also thought that the Shaman was an idiot, so on her way back, she quickly quickened her pace, disappeared into the Miasma Mist.

That's it.

Li Jie said, "The Plague God has been driven away, and everyone's illness has been cured."

Bai Qiuran and decided to explain the issue to Li. So he asked, "Li, tell me, do you really think that people getting sick has anything to do with that Plague God?"

"I have no idea."

Li replied honestly, "The Heavenly Gods each have their own duties. Logically speaking, the Plague God is indeed Evil Gods who controls Plague and makes people sick. But I think if that Plague God is really as terrifying as the Deity say, there's no reason why our Shaman is still so healthy... After all, even I felt like hitting him when I saw him presiding over the ceremony."

"You've got some talent, kid."

Bai Qiuran opened his mouth, but once again felt that sense of rejection from the Heavenly Dao. So he said, "Next time there's a chance, I'll tell you more about Medicine and Gu Art. Let's stop here for today. You should go home early; I need to go home and rest too."

"Huh? Master, you..."

Before he could finish speaking, a sudden gust of wind swept across the ground, blinding him. When the wind subsided and he opened his eyes again, Bai Qiuran was nowhere to be seen. Only a deep Straw Sandal Print remained on the ground.

Where have you been?

As soon as Bai Qiuran returned to the cabin, she heard Jiang Lan ask coldly.

"I went out for a walk."

Bai Qiuran replied, "Didn't I tie the prey up there?"

"Don't think you're so great just because you're a Heavenly Gods. The outside world isn't safe just because you're a Heavenly Gods. You're not Eastern Emperor Taiyi; there will always be someone in this world who can deal with you."

Jiang Lan said coldly, "Come here and help me deal with these Horned Sheep Beasts."

"Oh."

Bai Qiuran responded to the Book of Questions and followed Jiang Lan over.

The little girl led the creatures, which she called "Horned Sheep Beast," to the riverbank, used her Divine Power to lift some water to wash them clean, then picked up a long knife lying nearby, swiftly knocked one of the Horned Sheep Beast to the ground, and slashed its neck with a single stroke.

As the blood drained away, the Horned Sheep Beast's legs, which had been thrashing on the ground, quickly lost their strength. Then, Jiang Lan picked up the knife again and began to skin and cut the flesh.

She was very quick and nimble, but the knife in her hand looked dull, making her movements seem somewhat labored. Bai Qiuran watched for a while, then said, "Let me do it."

He asked Jiang Lan to step aside slightly, but instead of taking out his knife, he channeled his Sword Qi energy into his palm and easily butchered the entire Horned Sheep Beast, separating its skin, flesh, bones, and internal organs into several neat pieces.

"Huh?"

Seeing the Sword Qi he unleashed, Jiang Lan asked with slight interest, "Is this your Divine Power?"

"No, this is called Sword Qi."

As Bai Qiuran deftly grabbed the second Horned Sheep Beast, he replied, "Something that anyone can master through cultivation... Should we kill this one?"

"Kill them all. I'll make jerky from the leftovers."

Jiang Lan answered, then asked, "This kind of Superpower is something that anyone can learn?"

"Yes, if you're interested, I can teach you."

Bai Qiuran replied, "Besides, I've also studied those Poisonous Creatures you manipulate. We can exchange ideas and make progress together."

Bai Qiuran quickly disposed of the pile of things, and then, under Jiang Lan's guidance, threw the offal into the wild. Carrying the lean meat and some useful bones, he returned to the cabin.

People in this era only ate two meals a day. After eating what was equivalent to dinner, Bai Qiuran helped Jiang Lan finish processing the remaining flesh and bones. Then, Jiang Lan hesitantly asked, "You said you would teach me that move..."

She seemed eager to learn, but also a little shy about asking.

Bai Qiuran couldn't help but smile.

"Want to learn? I'll teach you."

He wasn't afraid that Jiang Lan would learn this move and use it for evil. Firstly, based on what he had just observed among the Human Race, Jiang Lan didn't seem like a vicious and evil Deity. Secondly, she wasn't invincible just because she learned Sword Qi.

At most, Sword Qi can slightly increase the attack power of Human Race of the same level; not every Human Race is like Bai Qiuran.

In essence, Sword Qi is a form of energy utilization. Theoretically, any living being can learn it. As Heavenly Gods, Jiang Lan possesses exceptional comprehension and is naturally endowed with powerful divine Divine Power. Therefore, before nightfall, under Bai Qiuran's guidance, she successfully cultivated her first trace of Sword Qi.

Seeing the Sword Light flickering from her fingertips, a hint of joy appeared on the little girl's face, but it quickly vanished, and she returned to her cold demeanor.

Thank you for teaching me this.

Jiang Lan said, "As a return gift, I'll give you this."

She went into the small house, rummaged around for a while, and then came out with a Pitch-Black Whip, which she put into Bai Qiuran's hand.

"These are relics left by my maternal grandfather, who was once a Heavenly Gods."

Jiang Lan explained, "With this, you can become immune to most of the Toxins in the world. My grandfather obtained Divine Office related to medicine because he possessed this item."

"Medicine Divine Office... Thank you."

Bai Qiuran wanted to say that the Toxins shouldn't have caused him any harm, but it was, after all, someone's kind gesture.

As he took the whip, he asked, "But why, now that medicine has been invented, do the Human Race in that Settlement still resort to shamanistic rituals to treat illnesses?"

Jiang Lan paused slightly upon hearing this, and asked, "You saw it?"

Although her tone remained the same, Bai Qiuran could tell that she was somewhat embarrassed and annoyed. Indeed, if it were him, he would also feel ashamed to speak if he were followed by a Shaman singing and dancing like an idiot every time he came and went.

Bai Qiuran nodded. Jiang Lan thought for a while in a sullen mood before saying, "There's no medicine, of course, because the Divine Office of medicine has been erased by the Heavenly Emperor. There's nothing more to say."
