Having a Legacy means an extra layer of protection.
Then, the success rate for anything you do will be higher.
At the very least, it can eliminate some unfavorable factors.
But if the ‘Spirits’ in the Ancestral Hall, meaning the ancestors themselves, are gone, then for anyone in the village, it becomes an extremely dangerous situation.
Because that invisible protection is gone.
Then, after entering the water, the probability of drowning will greatly increase; falling from a large tree will result in severe injury if not death; and nothing will go as smoothly as expected.
In fact, something that was originally fine might turn into a problem.
Chen Yushu, familiar with his predecessor's memories and aware of some situations in this world, suddenly understood, but he still quickly asked, “How did they disappear?”
“Actually, the Liu family was not originally from our Beijiao Village.
Thirty years ago, their family was allowed to move in by the village elders.
However, the Liu family has indeed made great contributions to the village, and even owes a great debt to our entire Beijiao Village.
Mainly because, at that time, the Liu family had a Gui Po.
She was even more capable than Zhong Bo; she was truly connected to the underworld and had achieved the Dao.
Because of Gui Po, our village hardly ever suffered any calamities; she even prevented a disaster that could have wiped out the entire Beijiao Village.
The entire village is actually very grateful to her family.”
Speaking, he paused, then continued, “But ten years ago, Gui Po had an accident and died outside.
Because of this, the ‘Yin’ that her family had sealed at the time directly rioted, completely eradicating all the ‘Spirits’ in the village’s Ancestral Hall.
Later, it was Liu Yong, Liu Qiao'er’s father, who intervened to quell the chaos.
But he himself also died in that turmoil.
So, although that disaster was caused by the Liu family, it was also because her family intervened that it was quelled.
Coupled with the fact that only orphans and widows were left alive in the Liu family… the village still values righteousness and did not drive them out, but their attitude towards the mother and daughter, of course, wasn't very good either.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Yushu finally understood.
The ‘Spirits’ in the Ancestral Hall were equivalent to the ancestors of every family in the village.
With their own ancestors harmed, even if the Liu family had previously shown great kindness to the villagers, they simply could not forgive them.
But precisely because of this, Chen Yushu also confirmed that Liu Qiao'er was by no means simple.
When that ‘ghost’ appeared just now, she definitely saw it too.
Even at the very end, when the ghost was about to pounce on him, it was very likely her or her mother who intervened.
And according to what his father said, her family had a Gui Po who was ‘connected to the underworld’ and had ‘achieved the Dao,’ so does that mean her family also likely possesses the corresponding Cultivation Legacy?
And would her family’s Legacy be more profound than Zhong Bo’s?
Suddenly, Chen Yushu’s thoughts began to stir.
He was extremely curious and eager about that particular profession.
Especially since, for some unknown reason, he found himself becoming special, able to see ‘ghosts’ during the day.
He didn't know if his ‘Spirit’ was already ‘sufficient,’ but this feeling of seeing ‘ghosts’ daily yet being helpless made him feel very frustrated and powerless.
If this continued, he estimated that even if he wasn't harmed to death, he would become neurasthenic.
“I must learn the skills as quickly as possible.”
Chen Yushu sighed inwardly, his gaze becoming resolute.
As they spoke, the two also arrived at the entrance of a Pharmacy.
This was their destination for this trip, Liu Family Pharmacy.
Looking through the Pharmacy entrance, the inside was very spacious, with rows of medicine cabinets neatly arranged, and four or five Pharmacy apprentices busily working inside, dispensing and decocting medicine; from a distance, he could smell various unique medicinal scents.
Besides that, there were also doctors, shopkeepers, patients, coughing sounds, and talking voices, all mixed together.
Chen Baihe led Chen Yushu inside, briefly searched with his gaze, then quickly walked towards a middle-aged man of forty or fifty, bowing slightly and speaking politely, “Steward Zhou, are you busy?”
“Oh, it’s little Chen. Have you brought the medicine?
Still the usual rule, you can just put it in the backyard, and someone inside will help you count and record it.”
Liu Family Pharmacy is the largest Pharmacy in Jiang Huan Town; although it Cultivates its own medicinal fields, its demand for wild herbs and medicinal materials is still very large.
Moreover, there are many good things in the mountains, especially some spiritual materials and rare herbs, which are extremely difficult to Cultivate solely through medicinal fields.
Therefore, they are very polite to herbalists who can consistently deliver medicinal materials.
“Steward Zhou, may I have a word with you in private?”
Chen Baihe spoke cautiously, then, at Steward Zhou's Hint, walked to a corner before speaking, “Please take a look at this.”
As he spoke, he carefully pulled out a wooden box from his Pregnant.
He had carefully protected this box the entire way, constantly touching it to confirm it was still there, only feeling relieved once he entered the Pharmacy.
“Hmm?”
This work is organized and uploaded by ~~
Steward Zhou was momentarily stunned, then opened the wooden box, and his eyes quickly lit up, as he repeatedly said, “A hundred-year-old wild ginseng, a rare herbal ginseng root! Little Chen, your luck is good.
This rare herbal ginseng root, with its complete appearance, is worth at least thirty taels of silver.
Of course, I’ll need to ask the shopkeeper to examine it to determine the exact price.”
“Steward Zhou, it’s like this.
I heard that your Pharmacy has a rule that if one can gather a rare herb, then they can send someone to your Pharmacy to be an apprentice…”
Upon hearing this, Chen Baihe breathed a sigh of relief and then spoke cautiously.
“There is indeed such a thing.”
Steward Zhou nodded, glanced at Chen Yushu standing beside Chen Baihe, and said, “However, if you do that, you won’t have this ginseng, and we won’t give you any silver.”
“That’s good, that’s good.”
Chen Baihe nodded repeatedly, apparently already aware of this rule, and quickly said, “This is my son, Chen Yushu.
This time, I want to use this rare herbal ginseng root to exchange for my son’s opportunity to become an apprentice at your Liu Family Pharmacy.”
“Greetings, Steward Zhou.”
Chen Yushu was also very well-behaved and quickly spoke.
“He’s quite clever.
How old is he? Can he read?”
Steward Zhou nodded and asked casually.
“He’s twelve years old, and he studied at a private school for two years, so he can read,” Chen Baihe quickly added from the side.
“That’s good, saves us from starting from scratch.
Alright, I’ll agree to this matter. You two discuss it, and I’ll go inform the shopkeeper.”
Steward Zhou pondered for a moment and did not make things difficult, then walked towards the inside of the Pharmacy.
“Yu Shu, I, your father, have no great abilities, so I can only help you this far.
This Liu Family Pharmacy is famous in the town; you must be diligent and study hard there. If you learn well, you might even become a doctor, and you can also learn Martial Arts.”
Chen Baihe looked at Chen Yushu and spoke.
“Don’t worry, I will,” Chen Yushu nodded, feeling a bit expectant.
