Chapter 378 Little Fairy Doctor

Jing Chen, who had vanished from the battlefield, reappeared in Qingshan Town, but this time he didn't intend to show his true face. It wasn't that he was afraid of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group; Jing Chen had already planned to wipe them out first after leaving the Monster Mountain Range. To Jing Chen, the Wolf Head Mercenary Group was nothing more than trash he could easily kill.

As for Xuan Yuan Yi and Cai Die, Jing Chen had arranged for them to do other things. Cai Die was now considered a Great Dou Shi, and it was time for her to go out and gain some experience. Where Xuan Yuan Yi would take Cai Die for training was not Jing Chen's concern. With Xuan Yuan Yi, a Dou Di, around, Jing Chen was quite at ease.

Wandering aimlessly, Jing Chen returned to the entrance of Wan Yao Zhai's pharmacy, only to find a commotion breaking out. Jing Chen was puzzled; it had been peaceful when he left. What had happened?

Out of curiosity, Jing Chen went over to take a look. As soon as he got close to the crowd, he heard the conversation of the people closest to him.

"Wow, it's actually Little Fairy Doctor!"

"So beautiful! Wow, that waist is so slim!"

"Fool! Do you want to die? Most of the mercenaries in Green Mountain Town have been treated by Little Fairy Doctor. Be careful someone hears this and cuts out your tongue!"

Jing Chen was used to such flirtatious discussions. Most men, upon encountering beauty, never think before they speak. However, Jing Chen suddenly felt a little curious about this Little Fairy Doctor.

"I'm just talking nonsense. Hehe, hehe." Seemingly sensing the malicious gazes coming from around him, the man's face turned slightly pale, and he was pulled away by his companion with a face full of embarrassment, and quickly fled out of the pharmacy.

If there hadn't been so many people around, that brother might have already been torn to pieces by those mercenaries. Anyone would be outraged to hear someone speak to their savior like that. However, Jing Chen noticed that several people had followed the two brothers away. Without a doubt, those two brothers, even if not dead, were crippled. Jing Chen could roughly gauge the cultivation levels of those who left; they were all around the first-star Dou Zhe level, one of them being particularly burly.

Jing Chen shook his head helplessly. You really have to think carefully before you speak in a place like this, otherwise you won't even know how you got yourself into a deadly mess.

"What's wrong? Are you curious about this Little Fairy Doctor?" the old doctor suddenly asked.

Jing Chen smiled and said, "Of course. To have such a reputation in a place like this shows that this Little Fairy Doctor is no ordinary person."

One of the guys standing next to Jing Chen heard what Jing Chen said and leaned closer to him, saying, "Brother, judging from your attire, you must be from out of town, right?"

Jing Chen glanced at the man and then nodded: "Yes, I came from Wutan City. I passed through Qingshan Town and thought I'd come in to see if there was anything I could use."

"No wonder, in Qingshan Town, practically everyone knows Little Fairy Doctor," the man said.

"Brother, could you tell me about this Little Fairy Doctor?" Jing Chen asked.

The man looked around, then leaned close to Jing Chen and whispered, "These words mustn't be heard by those mercenaries, or we'll be in serious trouble!"

Jing Chen nodded in understanding, and then continued in a low voice, "Little Fairy Doctor is a pharmacist at the Myriad Medicines Hall. Those mercenaries who enter the Monster Beast Mountain Range, no matter how strong they are, will inevitably get injured, right? Little Fairy Doctor has used her medical skills to save many mercenaries, most of whom are still in Qingshan Town. It's also said in Qingshan Town that the Myriad Medicines Hall has a pharmacist who is not only as beautiful as a fairy, but also has remarkable medical skills."

Jing Chen appeared to be listening attentively, but his mind wasn't really on it. He was merely curious about Little Fairy Doctor; he figured he'd encounter many people like her in the future. The man spoke at length, but Jing Chen barely heard what he said after that.

Jing Chen was only slightly surprised by Little Fairy Doctor's reputation here. He knew those mercenaries were ruthless killers; for money, they'd kill even their own masters. But Little Fairy Doctor seemed to be an exception, enjoying considerable prestige among the mercenaries.

In the end, out of curiosity, Jing Chen went in for a look. He had to admit, Little Fairy Doctor's charm was truly remarkable; Jing Chen could even see his brothers, who had been pushed aside, crashing to the ground only to immediately get up and continue pushing their way through. As the crowd dispersed, Jing Chen finally got a clear look at the woman surrounded by the crowd.

The woman was dressed in a pale white outfit. While not conventionally beautiful, she was undeniably a rare beauty. Her serene smile and ethereal hair exuded a unique charm that amplified her allure. A casual glance was enough to bring Jing Chen's gaze to her slender waist, bound by a green ribbon. The waist, so delicate it seemed a handful could encircle it, still evoked a flicker of amazement in his eyes.

She chuckled softly and shook her head, but then she heard the shop assistant's low laughter: "Little Fairy Doctor is a specially hired physician at our Wan Yao Zhai. Countless people in the entire Qingshan Town admire her. Whenever they go to the Monster Mountain Range to collect herbs, if Little Fairy Doctor goes with them, those mercenary groups will drive the price down to the lowest possible level, and they often almost fight over the remaining spots."

"Physician, alchemist, only one word difference," Jing Chen couldn't help but exclaim.

"While physicians can be considered alchemists, their status is far lower. After all, physicians cannot actually refine pills; they can only use ordinary flames to combine medicinal herbs to achieve a healing effect. However, this is indeed much inferior to the pills produced by alchemists. It can be said that every physician has dreamed of becoming an alchemist, but many spend their entire lives without ever crossing that threshold. Ultimately, this is mainly due to their own lack of talent and the absence of guidance." At this moment, the old physician stepped forward to explain this to Jing Chen.

Jing Chen shrugged. The old physician's words were indeed the most objective view of the medical profession. To become an alchemist, one must possess two things: talent sufficient to meet the requirements, and guidance from someone. With just one glance, Jing Chen realized that Little Fairy Doctor wasn't lacking in talent, but simply lacked guidance.

Looking at the woman in the white dress who was already sitting down and treating the wounded, Jing Chen rested his chin on his hand and had to admit that the kind smile that this little fairy doctor showed when treating the wounded was indeed very touching. No wonder these usually fierce mercenary men were as docile as lambs when facing her.

After watching for a while, Jing Chen left Wan Yao Zhai and strolled around the streets for a bit. Looking at the sunset that had been dyed red by the afterglow of the sun, he casually found an inn on the street, booked a room, and checked in.

"That's enough for today. We should set off tomorrow to explore the Monster Mountain Range," Jing Chen said, lying on the bed with his arms wrapped around the back of his neck, looking at the ceiling.

"Yes, when we enter the Monster Mountain Range tomorrow, I will teach you another fighting technique that complements the Xuan Heavy Ruler."
