Fortunately, the Douluo Continent has a relatively rich variety of medicinal herbs. Since childhood, his family has used methods such as medicinal baths to assist his training, and he has also done some research on the combination of medicinal herbs.
Since awakening the Abundant Jianmu Martial Soul, his understanding of plants has reached a new level. Through the control and perception of the Jianmu and the power of destiny, he can accurately understand the detailed functions of plants.
In other words, after Mu Ci uses the power of destiny, he can see the specific effects of each plant, just like having an instruction manual above his head.
Just then, a red meteor appeared in the sky and flew straight towards them.
Upon closer inspection, they discovered that a giant fiery kite, trailing a fiery red tail, had crashed to the ground.
A massive surge of soul power, accompanied by air currents, crashed into the ground, causing the surrounding forest to tremble violently.
Lin Ya landed, deactivated her Martial Soul True Body, and immediately saw Mu Ci standing at the front of the group. She transformed into a rainbow of light and instantly appeared in front of him.
Then, in front of everyone, Lin Ya grabbed Mu Ci by the ear with one hand and led him to the nearby woods.
"Grandma, be gentle, be gentle. You're making me lose face."
Mu Ci was powerless to resist her grandmother's domineering methods, and she wailed with a contorted face.
"Mu Ci, you're incredibly brave! You dared to do something so dangerous without informing your family. What would we do if something happened to you?"
Lin Ya initially scolded Mu Ci angrily, but as she spoke, she almost burst into tears.
Looking at Lin Ya, whose face was streaked with tears, he sighed helplessly.
Others might not know, but he certainly did. His grandmother's personality was practically a carbon copy of Ling Yuan Douluo's—both were domineering.
He's doing this only so he can get away from here.
"Grandma, I'm fine. Besides, you know my soul skills; I'm not afraid of these things at all."
Looking at the elderly man who cared about him, he didn't know what to say and could only offer words of comfort.
"That won't work either. The deacons of the Spirit Hall will be here soon. We'll leave this place to them. You and Grandma can go home."
"No, Grandma, the Spirit Hall's stewards alone can't save us from this plague. Many people will die," Mu Ci quickly interrupted.
Lin Ya, being a bishop of the Spirit Hall, was more concerned about commoners than the nobles. She frowned and said:
"Is this plague so troublesome that even a team of dozens of Soul Masters can't handle treating it?"
Mu Ci nodded solemnly and said seriously, "Yes, it's very troublesome. At least a Soul Emperor-level support-type Soul Master is needed to cure it. Even the support-type Soul Masters of the Divine Wood City Martial Soul Main Hall can only maintain the symptoms and prevent them from worsening."
Upon hearing this, Lin Ya's face first turned somewhat unpleasant, then she said seriously:
“In that case, you absolutely cannot stay here. What if you get infected with such a dangerous plague? As for these villagers, do everything you can to save them.”
"No, only I can save them now. If we delay any longer, it will be even more too late."
"That won't do either. I can't let you do something so dangerous, and your mother won't agree either."
Seeing that he couldn't persuade Lin Ya, Mu Ci had no choice but to resort to his ultimate move. He looked around and whispered.
"Grandma, this is the test that the master gave me. I really can't leave."
After treating the villagers with milder symptoms, Mu Ci's destiny power underwent a slight change, albeit a weak one, but a real improvement.
Based on the experiments conducted this month, Mu Ci can confirm that the improvement of Abundant Destiny is largely related to treatment.
This is also the most effective method so far.
In order to have a reason to practice medicine and treat patients in the future, he decided to blame it on the non-existent deity. Since he had already taken the blame, taking a few more wouldn't be a big deal.
Upon hearing that this was a test about deities, Lin Ya hesitated for a moment before agreeing, but still asked with doubt:
"Why would that person issue such an assessment?"
Mu Ci explained, "Grandma, the authority that deity holds is in this area. The test for me is to understand the true meaning of abundance while healing patients."
Hearing this, Lin Ya nodded in sudden understanding and said:
"I see. Just like the angel god that the angel family promotes, a deity who controls the power of judgment and light, right?"
Seeing that Lin Ya understood, Mu Ci nodded.
"Then what should Grandma do next? If there's anything you need help with, just tell Grandma. In Shenmu City, our family is the most important."
Next, Mu Ci told Lin Ya everything that was needed and asked her to instruct others to fetch and prepare it.
Whether it's medicinal herbs, clean clothes, or other items, a large number of people are needed to transport them from Shenmu City.
The Spirit Hall's personnel alone were simply not enough, so they had to ask Lin Ya to notify the nobles of Shenmu City to cooperate.
After a while, the two emerged from the woods and looked at the busy crowd not far away.
Lin Ya discovered that the situation was indeed as Mu Ci had said; the Spirit Masters from the Spirit Hall she brought were indeed unable to cure the villagers.
Whether it's a two-ring Great Soul Master or a four-ring Soul Grandmaster, they can only prevent the condition from worsening, but they cannot cure it.
Mu Ci then looked at Lin Ya and said, "Grandma, we need a clean open space to use as an isolation area. The whole village is probably infected with the disease, so we can't stay here any longer."
Lin Ya nodded and said, "Then Grandma can just burn the nearby woods to the ground, that should be enough, right?"
Mu Ci nodded somewhat embarrassedly, but thought to herself, "Do all those who use fire like to solve problems in such a simple and crude way?"
However, this is indeed a good idea. Burning everything down in one go can instantly create a large open space, and you don't have to worry about snakes, insects, or rodents.
Seeing that her grandson agreed, Lin Ya immediately activated her martial spirit.
A massive fiery spirit kite appeared behind him, with eight spirit rings rising in succession beneath his feet, and the third and fifth spirit rings lighting up simultaneously.
"Third Soul Skill, Spirit Kite Fire Wings." "Fifth Soul Skill, Spirit Kite Bathing in Fire."
With the activation of the two amplification soul skills, a pair of crimson flame wings, seemingly tangible, appeared behind Lin Ya.
The effect of the fifth soul skill is that the crimson spirit kite fire turns into a dazzling golden-red, and the temperature rises steadily.
With a flap of her golden-red wings, Lin Ya was carried hundreds of meters into the air towards a nearby valley.
Flying high in the sky, Lin Ya looked down at the valley below.
I found this place to be in a good location, not far from the village we just visited, and with a stream flowing by.
Without further hesitation, he activated his pitch-black eighth spirit ring.
"Eighth Soul Skill, Heavenly Fire Meteor".
At this moment, Lin Ya's golden-red hair danced wildly, and the wings on her back became even brighter and hotter, as if a small sun had appeared out of thin air.
Golden wings began to burst forth with countless golden light spots that floated in the air, absorbing the primordial energy of heaven and earth, growing larger and larger.
When countless golden-red meteors reached a diameter of one meter, they transformed into small, fiery kites, densely covering the sky.
Standing atop the valley, Lin Ya shouted coldly, "Go!"
Countless golden-red firebirds swooped down, fiercely crashing into the earth, transforming into towering golden flames that licked everything around them, their roar echoing across the sky.
Ancient trees turned to ashes, stubborn rocks turned to magma, and both living and dead things disappeared equally under the flames.
After watching the golden flames level everything in the valley, Lin Ya landed gracefully and found that there were countless pits all around her, with lava flowing in them. She frowned, somewhat dissatisfied with her work.
The swirling spirit rings flashed once more, and the sixth spirit skill was activated.
"Fire Barrier".
Chapter 15 Change of Soul Skills
Golden-red flames once again surrounded him, forming a barrier to protect his surroundings.
With a thought, Lin Ya caused the fiery barrier to move outward, and the uneven land began to flow like magma under the high temperature, filling in the potholes.
Once the barrier had moved two hundred meters outward, Lin Ya waved her hand to retract it, and at the same time looked at the stream in the distance, beckoning with her jade hand.
A massive amount of soul power, carrying a column of water, shot into the sky and surged towards the scorching magma.
"Bah~!"
The molten lava emitted large amounts of water vapor, which filled the sky.
Lin Ya waved her hand again, and the surging soul power shattered everything.
As the water vapor dissipated, the entire land transformed into a giant obsidian.
Looking at the masterpiece before her, Lin Ya nodded in satisfaction and transformed into a stream of light, flying towards the village.
......
Under Lin Ya's orders, the deacon of the Spirit Hall returned to Shenmu City to meet with the city lord and explain the matter.
The city lord understood the whole story as soon as he heard about the plague. He cursed Reed for being incompetent and secretly thought the Spirit Hall was meddling in other people's business. It was just a village.
However, under the Spirit Hall's strong demands, the city lord still agreed to do his best to help deal with the plague. Even though he was an imperial nobleman or a local city lord, he had no choice but to bow his head under the power of the Soul Douluo.
After all, the Imperial Army was thousands of miles away, while the Soul Douluo was right in front of them. All they wanted were some herbs and clean clothes; there was absolutely no need to go against the Spirit Hall.
An open space in the village.
With the help of the Spirit Hall's auxiliary Spirit Master's Spirit Skill, Mu Ci recovered her Spirit Power and began to continue treating critically ill patients.
Of all the Soul Masters currently available, only he can cure the plague and restore patients to health; the others can only prevent the condition from worsening.
This has led to Mu Ci being extremely busy. Her level 14 soul power is too weak to cure critically ill patients in one go. She can only stabilize the condition in the middle stage and restore her soul power for a second treatment.
As the golden-red light fell, Lin Ya appeared before Mu Ci, who had recovered his soul power.
Soul power stirred the airflow, creating ripples.
Sensing something amiss, Mu Ci awoke from her meditation.
Upon seeing Lin Ya in front of her, Mu Ci's face lit up with joy, and she asked eagerly, "Grandma, is it all better yet?"
Lin Ya nodded gently, looking at Mu Ci, whose face was somewhat pale, with heartache in her eyes, and said, "Xiao Ci, the place has been cleared, and we can go there at any time."
"You're still young, don't push yourself so hard. Besides, with the Spirit Hall deacons around, there's no need to rush."
Mu Ci shook her head and said, "It's okay, Grandma. The sooner we solve the problem, the sooner I can go back. Besides, while treating them, my cultivation speed has also increased. Apart from being a little tired, there are only benefits and no drawbacks."
As the two were chatting, Captain Reed jogged over and respectfully said, "Your Excellency, the supplies have arrived. What should we do next?"
Lin Ya nodded upon hearing this, then looked at Mu Ci and said softly, "Xiao Ci, you tell me, Grandma will listen to you."
Mu Ci nodded and said to Reid, "Cover your mouths and noses with clean cotton cloths, and then take all the patients to that cleared land. I will boil the herbs into medicine."
Upon hearing Mu Ci's words, Reed quickly saluted and turned to run to order the soldiers to prepare.
Everything was proceeding smoothly, and Mu Ci began to use the plant perception of the Jianmu Martial Soul to prepare a prescription for the large amount of herbs sent by the city lord, which she was then preparing to brew.
