829 Reviving Mankind (1/2)

Before this, it was as though the two of them had seen a ghost. They had been running scared as the color drained from their faces. Now, however, they obediently followed behind him like good children.

”Big Brother Mo, I am sorry!” Wan'er whispered as she lowered her head.

Wang Qian also lowered her head in embarrassment. She had a look of shame on her face. If she was not so superstitious and had not run away like a lunatic, dragging Wan'er with her, there most likely would not have been so many issues.

From the looks of it things now, Mo Wen did not seem to be a ghost. Even if he was, he was a friendly ghost.

Having been saved by Mo Wen, Wang Qian's impression of Mo Wen immediately skyrocketed. Suddenly, she was not afraid of him at all, even if he was a ghost.

”Before this, as you have seen, I was an ancient martial art practitioner. I fell into the mountain forest due to my injuries. I come from an ancient medical family, and I began to study medicine at a young age. I have been gathering medicinal herbs in the mountains since I was three, so naturally, I am skillful at it. So, you can stop being suspicious or imagining things,” Mo Wen said calmly.

He felt the need to explain his situation now so that in the future, there would not be any misunderstandings like this again.

”Of course you are a strong ancient martial art practitioner! I have eyes but failed to see. Please pardon me for my earlier attitude and behavior.” Wang Qian's face was red as she hurriedly curtsied. Actually, without Mo Wen saying it, she had also roughly guessed the situation. How could an ordinary person crush Cheng Shuangjiang below their feet and kill him? Not only was Mo Wen an ancient martial art practitioner, but his cultivation was at least at the later stage of the Sea of Qi Realm. He was most likely an incredible ancient martial art practitioner at the pinnacle of the Sea of Qi Realm.

Before this, she had indeed overreacted and had unjustly offended him. Her preconceived thinking had led her to assume that Mo Wen was just an ordinary person. She had not considered that he might be an ancient martial art practitioner, and so had been stunned by Mo Wen's actions. However, if Mo Wen was an ancient martial art practitioner and also came from an ancient medical family, it was not impossible for him to have mastered some highly advanced techniques for gathering medicinal herbs.

Wan'er felt very guilty. She lowered her head and did not say a word. How could she have not believed in Big Brother Mo?

”That's alright. It was just a misunderstanding. Let's continue gathering medicinal herbs. There are many medicinal herbs on this mountain. We don't need to travel so far.”

With a smile, Mo Wen moved on to another topic to stop the girls from feeling guilty. He took the lead and continued to walk up the mountain. There were many medicinal herbs there which had yet to be collected. The amount was enough for Wan'er to hit her target.

Since Mo Wen took the initiative to move on to the topic of gathering medicinal herbs, which was their biggest concern at the moment, their mood livened up. They followed behind Mo Wen excitedly. They believed that with Mo Wen around, Wan'er would be able to complete her task easily.

They spent the whole morning busy plucking medicinal herbs. However, they felt exhilarated instead of being tired. It was Wan'er and Wang Qian's first time experiencing such a plentiful harvest.

When Mo Wen saw the satisfying smile on Wan'er's face, he felt joyful too.

At noon, the three of them started a campfire beside a cliff wall to roast some wild animals. The location that they chose was strategic. The cliff wall could block the wind and thus ensure that the roasting was done well. Besides that, they could enjoy the distant scenery.

Mo Wen held a fish on a stick, turning it continuously over the fire. The aroma of the meat filled the surroundings. The fish brimmed with golden-colored oil, dripping into the campfire.

”Big Brother Mo, you are incredible.”

Wan'er's face was red as she looked at the bamboo basket full of medicinal herbs. Her face revealed a happy and contented look. The number of medicinal herbs that they had gathered in the morning was equivalent to five days' worth of tasks. For the next five days, she would not need to worry about the medicinal herbs gathering task.

The gaze that Wang Qian gave Mo Wen was also full of adoration. Right now, she no longer doubted Mo Wen and no longer took his words for boasting.

In the surrounding mountains, almost all the medicinal herbs had been picked clean in the spring by the Five Tigers Sect disciples. Right now, finding a single stalk of medicinal herb was rather difficult. Even some of the sect seniors who were proficient in gathering medicinal herbs did not want to search for them in that region.

It truly was seemed as though Mo Wen could pick up the scent of medicinal herbs from ten kilometers away. Every time they dug, they would strike gold. On what they originally thought to be a mountain that had no medicinal herbs, they actually managed to dig up so many in one morning. Right now, even if Mo Wen said that he could see medicinal herbs from ten kilometers away, Wang Qian would absolutely believe him.

”Wan'er, after we've had our fill, let's go to a mountain slightly further away and see whether we can find spiritual medicines.”

Mo Wen passed the roasted fish to Wan'er and continued roasting a hare that had been skinned and cleaned. Even though the number of medicinal herbs that they had gathered was equivalent to five days worth of Wan'er's task target, Wan'er still had more than twenty days of medicinal herbs gathering to be done. It was impossible for Mo Wen to bring Wan'er out for medicinal herbs gathering every day, so he planned to settle this once and for all.

There was a rule in the Five Tigers Sect: any disciple who found a spiritual medicine would not need to gather any more medicinal herbs within five years. Besides that, they would receive a huge reward from the sect. If they were ordinary disciples, they would surely be able to level up to become Inner-Sect disciples.

The rule was rather tempting; however, spiritual medicines were rare. The value of a stalk of spiritual medicine was unfathomable for an ordinary sect.
