Chapter 13: Recruiting
a Disciple So the Little Medical Fairy described the medicinal properties of the herb, where it grew, and the effects after taking it.
Then Gu He asked about a few more herbs, and the Little Medical Fairy answered them all fluently.
"It seems that you are very familiar with herbs. Next, I want to test your talent, that is, your soul power and physical attributes. By the way, I don't know your name yet?" Gu He said, looking at the Little Medical Fairy.
The Little Doctor grabbed the corner of his clothes and said nervously: "Senior, everyone calls me the Little Doctor. What do you need me to do to test your soul power and body attributes?"
"First, I will test your soul power. I will put a finger on your forehead and use it to apply pressure to your soul. The longer you can hold on, the higher your soul foundation is. The better your talent for the soul power of a pharmacist is. If you can hold on for a stick of incense, it means you have the qualifications to become a pharmacist." Gu He raised a finger to explain.
"Are you ready?" Gu He took out a stick of incense and asked the Little Doctor.
The Little Doctor nodded nervously.
Gu He lit the incense with a flame on his finger, injected fighting spirit into the incense and thrust it into the ground. The incense easily penetrated the ground that was already as hard as fine iron and slowly burned.
Gu He tapped his finger directly on Xiao Yixian's forehead, mobilizing a small part of his soul power to simulate pressure on Xiao Yixian's soul. Xiao Yixian frowned a little uncomfortably when he first encountered this strange power, but thinking that he had to hold on for more than an incense stick, Xiao Yixian closed his eyes and tried his best to resist the heavy feeling that seemed to be constantly adding things to his mind.
After one stick of incense burned out, a thin layer of sweat broke out on Xiao Yixian's forehead. Gu He took out another stick of incense, lit it, and continued to put pressure on Xiao Yixian's soul. After two sticks of incense burned out, Gu He shook his head and retracted his fingers, and at the same time retracted the power of his soul. The
pressure from the soul disappeared and Xiao Yixian fell to the ground uncontrollably. Gu He gently held Xiao Yixian's waist, laid her flat on the hillside, and fed her a fifth-grade soul-awakening pill.
Under the effect of this supposedly weakened version of the soul-clearing pill, Xiao Yixian quickly woke up.
Seeing herself lying on the ground sweating profusely, Xiao Yixian blushed and sat up and said, "Thank you, senior. Have I passed?"
At the same time, she tightened her clothes with her hands.
"Your soul power has passed the test. You can hold on for two incense sticks. Your talent can be considered average. Next, we will test your physical attributes. The physical attributes of alchemists are all fire attributes with a trace of wood attribute. If this trace of wood attribute is missing, then the violent flames will not be able to help the final pill, but will cause the alchemy to fail." Gu He explained patiently to Xiao Yixian as if he saw a talented young man.
"Then how to test the physical attributes?" Xiao Yixian said a little anxiously. As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Having passed two levels, the last level of the attribute talent test made Xiao Yixian a little anxious.
"You haven't reached the level of a fighter yet, so I can't know your physical attributes through your fighting spirit. But there is another way. I can directly input a little fighting spirit into your body and sense what kind of physical attributes you have and whether you are suitable to be an alchemist." Gu He thought that this was like swinging a hoe to dig into Xiao Yan's corner, and he licked his lips excitedly.
"Give me your hand, I will test it for you now, and the result will be known soon."
It has come to this last step. Although Xiao Yixian is very afraid that her path to becoming an alchemist will end before she even starts due to her physical talent, she cannot avoid this test, so she extends her hand to Gu He like a child who is afraid of injections, and then silently prays for her fate.
Gu He holds Xiao Yixian's soft and boneless hand, injects his fighting spirit into her body, and carefully senses her body to see how her unawakened body of evil poison is different from that of ordinary people.
Gu He first sensed that Xiao Yixian's body contained water-attribute energy, but the energy was quite chaotic, and then he carefully searched and found weak energies of other attributes. In other words, Xiao Yixian has no talent for being a pharmacist, and her talent for cultivation is also very poor. No wonder in the original novel, she is a few years older than Xiao Yan, and Xiao Yan has become a fighter, but Xiao Yixian is still a one-star fighter. If it weren't for her physical awakening, it would be difficult for her to cultivate to the level of Fighting Emperor, and now she is only at the seventh level of "Fighting Power".
Then, we went deeper into Xiao Yixian's body and found that there was a strange energy hidden in her cells, but the energy activity was very low at this stage. It seems that we need to activate their medicine to exert their terrifying power.
Gu He knew that these energies were the cause of the formation of the "Evil Poison Body", and he did not stimulate them. Now he let them stay quietly in Xiao Yixian's body to see if he could find a way to erase these energies in the future, or let Xiao Yixian control them, so as to completely solve the "Evil Poison Body" time bomb.
Gu He let go of Xiao Yixian's hand and said to the nervous Xiao Yixian: "You don't have the talent of a pharmacist. Your main attribute is water, which is completely opposite to the fire with wood required by the pharmacist."
Xiao Yixian's face turned pale when she heard Gu He's words. The fatigue left by the test of soul power seemed to become even heavier at this time.
Looking at Xiao Yixian's appearance, Gu He's eyes flashed with pity, but Xiao Yixian's natural attributes were not suitable for becoming an alchemist, and even the Emperor of Fighting could not help her, so this must be made clear to dispel Xiao Yixian's unrealistic ideas as soon as possible.
"But you are lucky. My cultivation and alchemy skills have reached a bottleneck, and I just happen to have some free time. Although your physique is not suitable for becoming an alchemist, it is extremely special. It is relatively rare even in the entire continent. So I can accept you as a registered disciple and teach you the skills. Of course, if you are still interested in alchemy, I can teach you some knowledge that does not involve fire control, but only common medicine knowledge and the effects of different combinations of medicines." Gu He added, as if he couldn't bear to see the little medical fairy.
"Thank you, senior. I hope you can teach me the knowledge of refining medicine. I will plan my time well and will not let this hinder my practice. I will also practice well and will not bring shame to you in the future." The little medical fairy was stunned at first and then knelt on the ground with an excited look.
Gu He helped the little medical fairy up and said, "There are more rules when you enter my school, but there are not so many rules after you enter."
"By the way, I have accepted you as my apprentice, but I don't know who else you have in your family! You have to live in the valley for the next few months, and I will arrange your family for you."
"My parents died a long time ago, and there is no one else in my family. Now I work as a pharmacist in Wanyaozhai." Perhaps thinking of some of the sad experiences in the past, the little doctor said in a low voice.
