Elf: Re-employment of retired champion of Padiya

Chapter 798 Joey's Medical Skills Devastate the World!

"That's good."

After applying the medicinal paste he had prepared, Luo Mu wrapped a clean white gauze tightly around the injured right leg of the cat in front of him and said softly with a gentle expression.

"Meow~"

Knowing for the first time that treatment could be so comfortable, the cat couldn't help but meow gratefully at him.

"Big Cat~ Good boy~ Come on, drink this again."

A smile appeared on Luo Mu's face. Without the slightest hesitation, he skillfully scratched the chin of the Leccat.

Luo Mu's smile deepened, especially when he heard the purring that the Lecter cat couldn't help making.

This combo was so satisfying that even though Lekcat was somewhat reluctant to take the medicine, it still chose to trust Luo Mu this time.

Well, then this cat will reluctantly drink a little!

The leuk cat raised its head, looking as if it were about to be slaughtered.

"Do you really hate taking medicine that much?"

Helpless, Luo Mu symbolically dripped a little medicine into the open mouth of the Leccat cat, letting it taste it first.

The moment the medicine touched Luccat's tongue, Luccat was startled at first, then its eyes widened instantly.

It's not bitter at all!

It actually tastes strangely good?
If it's this kind of potion, I could drink another whole bucket of it!

"Drinking too much is actually bad for your health."

Luo Mu, who inexplicably understood what the Lux cat in front of him was thinking, helplessly flicked its wet nose.

It's probably because of the emotional attachment I had when I first met my Luccat and then witnessed it grow into a Röntgen.

Luo Mu always had a considerable fondness for this race, whether it was the Lurkcat from Citron that he had met at the Butler Academy or the Lurkcat that a member of the Pearl Team was paired with.

After interacting with the Lekcat, Luo Mu looked up at the Pearl Team members who were waiting anxiously to the side and said in a reassuring tone, "Don't worry, it will heal completely."

"The rule that it takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone doesn't apply to Pokémon. In its case, it should be fully recovered in a week at most."

"But during this time, remember to restrict the Luccat from strenuous exercise and feed it some nourishing food as much as possible."

"I understand, thank you!"

The Pearl Team members, carefully picking up the Lecter cat, bowed repeatedly, their eyes filled with gratitude and admiration as they looked at Luo Mu.

It's likely that the companions or their Pokémon who just received treatment from Luo Mu also had the same thought.

If they previously thought Luo Mu was just a "connected person" sent by the leader, now they are completely convinced by Luo Mu's abilities.

In this era, people who are proficient in medicine are few and far between.

Grandma Yupu, who was skilled in medicine making, was respected by everyone in the Pearl Team. Even when Pearl Shell succeeded as the leader of the Pearl Team, he had to obtain her approval before he could go to the Royal Field!
And considering the quality of Luo Mu's current abilities...
Even though treatment and recovery take a long time to reach a conclusion, we cannot jump to conclusions.

However, based on some immediate feedback from the Pokémon, they also came to the conclusion that "Luo Mu definitely has some skills."

not to mention--

At this moment, behind Luo Mu.

Grandma Xipu originally cherished her large collection of bottles and jars and wouldn't allow anyone to touch them.

At this moment, she was standing next to Lei Guanwang, who was assisting Luo Mu, as if she were studying some kind of century-old problem, and occasionally she would mutter something while looking down.

"I never knew herbs could be combined like this."

She personally prepared the medicinal herbs needed for Luo Mu's on-site treatment.

The purpose was simply to learn from Luo Mu's experience.

Grandma Xi Pu's abilities are unanimously recognized by everyone in the Pearl Team.

It's true that the medicine she made tasted terrible, but it was indeed effective.

Whether it's a common illness like a fever or various ailments affecting Pokémon, she can always find a way to treat or alleviate them.

Even the Vajra Team, who usually doesn't get along with the Pearl Team, would often lower themselves and seek help from Granny Xipu if they encountered any difficult problems they couldn't solve.

But even this same Xi Pu, at this moment, put herself in the position of a student, setting aside her stubborn and inflexible personality and insistence, and followed behind Luo Mu to do odd jobs—

God knows how surprised they were when they saw this.

No, I should say there were signs of it a long time ago.

Because the wasteland base was previously attacked by a large number of wild Pokémon, there are many injured people and Pokémon.

So yesterday, Luo Mu arrived at the wasteland base before dark and joined the treatment team shortly after meeting Granny Xi Pu.

At first, Grandma Xipu kept a close eye on him, afraid that he would harm his patients.

But gradually, Luo Mu's patients and Pokémon left like flowing water. While his efficiency was outstanding, Xi Pu couldn't find any mistakes in his treatment.

While Xi Pu was still having her patients pinch their noses and being forced to take medicine, Luo Mu was using a two-pronged approach, applying medicine both externally and internally, and mixing different medications on the spot according to different symptoms, so that every patient and Pokémon left the medical tent with a smile.

In the end, even Grandma Xipu put down what she was doing and came over to observe how Luo Mu was treating the patient.

Then, after a night, Xi Pu was completely convinced.

As soon as the last Team Pearl member left the tent with his Pokémon, Yuu placed the pestle in the mortar and pestle and appeared behind Luo Mu with almost teleportation speed.

"Where did you learn all this from?"

Xi Pu stared at Luo Mu with a complicated expression.

The image of a tall man in a high-necked shirt flashed into her mind.

Even though he himself disliked training Pokémon and making them fight like that, it was a barbaric act.

However, it cannot be denied that even though the other party has amnesia, their talent and insights in this area far surpass those of ordinary people.

In the letter that Zhubei sent via Pokémon, it was mentioned that Luo Mu was likely from the same place as Bei Shang.

—And he hasn't lost his memory.

Due to the limitations of her time, Xi Pu was unaware that she was experiencing a "dimensional reduction attack" in her own field of expertise.

All she knew was that the words she had jokingly uttered without any real hope were about to come true.

Given Luo Mu's demonstrated medical skills, perhaps he really does have a solution?
Luo Mu was unaware of the thoughts churning in Xi Pu's mind.

But the other person's question brought to mind the image of a pink-haired woman with immense strength and unparalleled power.

A smile appeared on Luo Mu's face.

"He is a senior whose medical skills are far superior to mine, and who treats all kinds of Pokémon every day."

It's no wonder that Xi Pu felt like she had been subjected to a "dimensional reduction attack".

Who is standing behind Luo Mu?
Was it Joey Rin, who taught her medicine?

Yes, but not all.

Behind him truly stood the culmination of years of categorization, organization, innovation, and practical application by the vast Joey family. In the world of martial arts, it would be the undisputed "Nine Yang Divine Skill" in the realm of medicine.

It's not shameful for Grandma Xipu to lose to such an opponent, even though she figured it out on her own.

This is also a limitation of our times.

Luo Mu was simply using the experience accumulated over generations, standing on the shoulders of giants.

In fact, there were several kinds of herbs in Xipu that Luo Mu did not recognize. Most of them were ancient limited varieties. It was only after the Queen of the Buds directly analyzed the effects of the herbs that Luo Mu was able to make a combination on the spot.

"Although I would love for you to introduce me to that 'senior,' it would probably be a very difficult thing."

"But it doesn't matter, you've already given this old woman enough inspiration for a whole new world in this field."

"In a sense, the changes you brought to me perfectly align with the principles of the 'Sinnoh Grandmaster's' creation and expansion of space."

"Right now, I, your old woman, can take you to Wangchang right away without any problem."

What's your opinion?

If Pearl were here, she might be so shocked by the kind and gentle expression on Granny Xipu's face that her heart might tremble.

She might even suspect that Luo Mu had given Granny Xi Pu some kind of spell.

—This scene is truly terrifying.

But Luo Mu was completely unaware of this.

He exhaled, paused for a moment as if thinking, and then said, "Well, if possible, I would still like to hear you tell me about the Lizhi Lake that you mentioned before, Grandma."

That's right, Lizhi Lake.

If Granny Xipu hadn't mentioned it, Luo Mu might have taken a stroll around the West Peat Plateau and the Bear Arena before heading back to Pearl Village to wait for the opening of Fire Island.

But it's different now.

Lake Tadashi is home to the legendary Pokémon of the lake.

Or perhaps it's a legendary Pokémon that governs willpower and is feared as a god of will—

Arknom.

Regardless of whether the test Xi Pu mentioned was related to Arknom, Luo Mu felt that going there for a while wouldn't make any difference.

If I don't encounter it, so be it. But if I do, maybe I can get the item "Arknom's Fang" from it?

The so-called "Azelf's Tooth" is not actually an Azelf's tooth, but rather a vessel that carries its power—a testament to it.

By combining "Uxie's Claw" and "Emrido's Wings", you can synthesize the "Mythical" item "Red Chain".

If we had this thing...

When Luo Mu returned to his own time and arrived in Baiyang Town, he encountered the two gods of time and space fighting. He could directly expose them and personally take charge, treating them like spinning tops.

Previously, Luo Mu couldn't try to obtain it because of the tight schedule, but things are different now.

Wu Si told him when he would return, and it was like riding Doraemon's time machine, directly returning to the very next second after he left.

If he doesn't even give it a try, wouldn't he be wasting such a great opportunity?
"Well, fine. Since you're interested and your abilities are impeccable, then this old woman will personally take you on this trip."

Xi Pu sighed, but did not refuse Luo Mu.

After all, that's what she said herself.

But she still didn't quite understand why Luo Mu insisted on spending time completing the test.
He himself had said that if he wanted to go to Wangchang, he didn't need to be tested, and he could take him there immediately.

"But if we're going to leave, let's do it tomorrow."

"You've been busy all night. You young man aren't tired, but this old woman can't take it anymore. Let's rest for today."

Xi Pu waved his hand, making a gesture to drive Luo Mu away.

Luo Mu is quite considerate of the elderly.

Naturally, she didn't insist that Xi Pu take her there immediately, but instead chose to rest for the time being.

No matter what, he's not made of iron. Although he has Victini to recharge him at any time, he still prefers to let his body recover naturally.

Not to mention the mental strain, which even Bictini couldn't compensate for.

Go back and rest, get some sleep, and set off early the next morning – that's the right thing to do.

The next morning.

The sky was just beginning to lighten with the first hint of dawn.

Luo Mu was woken up by Xi Pu, who was standing with her hands on her hips and carrying a large bamboo basket on her back.

Although I can't see the time, judging from the sky, it's probably no later than six o'clock.

Luckily, he went to bed early last night, otherwise he would definitely be sleepy now.

"Old woman, I'll be waiting for you outside. Come out when you're ready, we'll go straight to Lizhi Lake."

After leaving those words, Xi Pu left the house.

Luo Mu rubbed his eyes, exchanged a glance with the calmly looking Rachel, and each picked up Shaymi and Victini, who were sleeping sprawled out, and then tapped the shell of Bagogo, who was curled up in its tortoise shell in the backpack.

Seeing that they couldn't wake them up, the two of them could only act as a mobile cart.

There wasn't much to pack; the food at our accommodation was all provided by the Pearl Team.

Luo Mu's luggage was all piled up in the shadowy area of ​​Lingyouma. Apart from the bag containing Baggogo and the waist bag given by Zhubei, he was basically traveling light.

I left the house and went outside.

Luo Mu raised an eyebrow when he saw the two Pokémon behind Granny Yupu.

Isn't that Moon Bear?
"They came to help us get around today, since this old woman's legs aren't strong enough to walk that far."

"This child is Xiong Da, and this child is Xiong Er. They are brothers."

Xi Pu stroked the "clouds covering the moon" on the foreheads of the two moon bears and gave Luo Mu a brief explanation.

After all, she is the manager of the royal farm, so she naturally has the ability to mobilize Moon Bear for transportation.

In no time.

They made their way towards Lake of Aspiration amidst the dust kicked up by the Moon Bear as it ran.

Meanwhile, outside the wasteland base.

A young man dressed in a blue robe with medium-length hair resembling a wolf's tail paused, his gaze fixed on their departing figures, and he couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

As the leader and captain of the Kongo Team.

After receiving the news from Team Galaxy to Team Pearl, his first thought was to observe the person who had brought about such a huge change to Team Pearl and investigate their background.

But now it seems that, with the Divine Lord who controls the vastness of time above, I, Golem, am late this time?
I'm truly ashamed. As the team leader, I not only wasted the opportunity but also wasted precious time.
