After making his plan, Wang Sheng took immediate action.
Disciplined people never procrastinate.
The first issue was the medical book. In this era, medical books were hard to come by; these were the treasures that a doctor would only pass on to their successor.
It was almost impossible for outsiders to obtain them. Of course, if you had enough silver, you could buy them, but Wang Sheng did not have that much silver.
As for making money as a martial artist?
He did not want to do that unless absolutely necessary.
The mere association with martial artists and money made Wang Sheng smell the scent of danger.
He preferred to honestly brush up on his skills and levels.
Furthermore, he had already figured out a solution for the medical book issue.
His main aim was to identify herbs, and at this stage, he didn't need a medical book for medical skills.
Obtaining such a book was much easier.
As a hunter, Li Wenguang probably had some books on herb identification at home, but Wang Sheng did not plan to go to Li Wenguang.
Qingshan Village had another best place to acquire such a medical book.
A barefoot doctor, Ji Yang.
The people in Qingshan Village generally called him Old Ji.
In his youth, Old Ji had served as an apprentice in a pharmacy in the big city, learning a bit of basic medical knowledge, buying some simple medical books, and then returning to Qingshan Village to become a barefoot doctor.
His medical skills were not exceptionally advanced, but he was proficient at treating minor illnesses, and thus, he commanded a lot of respect from the people of Qingshan Village.
Wang Sheng knew he would have a medical book because of the old scholar who named and wrote characters for the villagers.
The old scholar believed that as the people of Qingshan Village relied on the mountains, being able to recognize some herbs would be really helpful, so he planned to teach some common herbal knowledge.
Unfortunately, before he could start teaching, the old scholar could not hold on and passed away.
The medical book was naturally returned to Old Ji.
Wang Sheng's target was this medical book.
The distance from his place to Old Ji's house was considerable, and on the way there, he met quite a few people.
Almost everyone who saw him talked to him.
"Young Wang, I heard you gathered all the chrysanthemums and solved the problem, huh!"
"Ha, you almost had to go 'enjoy life' there!"
"Yun Sheng, well done! You actually managed to gather so many chrysanthemums."
Things spread quickly in small villages. Many people saw Li Da and Li Er transporting the chrysanthemums, and once the Sun Family people left, the news that Wang Sheng had made the delivery and settled the trouble spread rapidly.
Most people believed that Wang Sheng wasn't taken away because he gathered 500 pounds of dry chrysanthemums; no one knew the real reason.
Wang Sheng didn't bother to explain, just smiling and responding to everyone.
Many young girls blushed at his smile.
When they heard the Sun Family was going to take Wang Sheng away, they were secretly sad for quite a while.
Now that Wang Sheng was staying, did they have a chance?
Even though he was a bit older and could be considered an older man, he was undeniably handsome!
...
After handling all the matters and refusing the entangled girls, it took Wang Sheng quite some time to reach Old Ji's house.
Luckily, Old Ji was at home, leisurely lying on a recliner smoking a dry pipe.
Hearing footsteps, Old Ji opened his eyes.
"Steady footsteps, every step resounding, Qi-Blood full, exuding the aura of a dragon or tiger, a martial artist!"
He stood up directly, looking at Wang Sheng with some shock.
There weren't many people in the village, and they basically knew each other. Old Ji was no exception; he knew Wang Sheng.
Naturally, he also knew what Wang Sheng went through.
He thought it was just as the villagers said, that Wang Sheng wasn't taken away because he made the delivery. Now, it seemed that was only a small part of the reason.
The real reason was one only—Wang Sheng was a martial artist.
Wang Sheng was a bit surprised by Old Ji's words; he was discovered so easily?
He said with a teasing tone, "Old Ji, are you some kind of hidden master?"
Old Ji shook his head, "What hidden master, this is something my former master taught us to avoid offending people, a way to determine if someone is a martial artist."
Hidden master? He wished! But he was just an unremarkable barefoot doctor.
Thinking of this, he looked at Wang Sheng with a slightly complex expression and said, "So you're a martial artist, hidden well indeed. No wonder you could gather 500 pounds of dry chrysanthemums."
Old Ji thought Wang Sheng gathered the dry chrysanthemums as a martial artist, and then intimidated the Sun Family as a martial artist to let him off.
"Can't I just become a martial artist in a month?" Wang Sheng joked.
"Even though I'm not a martial artist, I know that's impossible. You're not from some big family with lots of resources. Or is it that your aptitude is heaven-defying?"
Old Ji didn't have much change in attitude because Wang Sheng was a martial artist.
At his age, could a martial artist make him live another hundred years?
Obviously not.
So, he was shocked for a moment, then carried on as usual.
However, he was quite curious about why a martial artist would come to him.
"People don't come without a reason, tell me, what's the matter?"
Wang Sheng didn't beat around the bush and directly stated his request, "Old Ji, could you lend me that medical book of yours? I want to identify some herbs."
"When there's no need, it's Old Ji; when there's a need, it becomes Old Master Ji. You kid know your way around, but why do you need such a useless-to-martial-artists medical book?"
Not planning to rob by force, Wang Sheng had to be respectful when seeking help.
"Actually, I just want to see if I can find herbs that may enhance my strength."
As his martial artist identity was discovered, Wang Sheng certainly didn't bother to hide it.
Old Ji chuckled at that, "Using a common person's medical book to look for resources for a martial artist? Shouldn't you be looking into those martial artist resources record books? Wait!"
Old Ji casually said that but evidently didn't intend to dig deeper, as he went directly to grab the medical book.
Soon, he came out of the house with an old book in hand.
"Here it is, once you've finished, return it, and just don't damage it."
After tossing the medical book to Wang Sheng, Old Ji lay back on the recliner, seemingly indifferent about his previous curiosity.
Since Old Ji didn't ask, Wang Sheng didn't explain, thanked him, and left directly.
Why not look for the martial artist's dedicated resource record book?
There wasn't any!
To obtain one, he would have to enter a certain circle.
But——
Entering that circle=Risk!
Unless absolutely necessary, he wouldn't engage with it.
Of course, as of now, he had no way to access that circle.
As the saying goes, staying grounded was the best choice.
On his way back, he took another route, didn't encounter anyone, and quickly returned to his house.
After entering, Wang Sheng didn't delay and immediately started reading the medical book.
No matter what, he first wanted to get the progress bar up and then slowly work on it!
