As Ding Yun finished sorting through the original host's memories and digesting all of them along with her skills, the host page of her so-called "Wuxia Divine Doctor Plus System" immediately showed new changes, with skills added.
【Host: Hu Xing'er (Ding Yun)
Skills: Poison Arts lv3, Medical Arts lv4
Embroidery lv4, Health Cultivation Technique lv5
Literacy lv5, Tree Climbing lv5
Skill Points: 0】
The medical and poison arts were self-explanatory, purely a result of the original host becoming a doctor through her own long illness and self-teaching by reading medical books.
Furthermore, medicine and poison were inseparable.
It was reasonable to gain insight into poison arts through mastery of medical arts.
Embroidery was taught by the original host's mother in her spare time before she followed her father to serve in another county. The original host also practiced it often, so it was decent. It couldn't compare to master artisans, but it was on par with ordinary embroiderers.
The Health Cultivation Technique was taught to the original host by the valley master of the Divine Doctor Valley. It wasn't a martial art but a breathing technique for health and conditioning, a form of Daoist breathing cultivation. Its primary purpose was to assist in treatment and help the original host recover her health as soon as possible.
It was rumored that achieving mastery could prolong one's life.
However, in this wuxia world, those with talent practiced martial arts. No one was willing to practice this kind of cultivation for decades without guaranteed results, nor did it possess any offensive power, purely for its supposed health benefits.
Even if some individual Daoists claimed to have lived for over a hundred years by cultivating this breathing technique, no high-ranking officials were willing to spend decades practicing it.
They would rather find someone to refine elixirs and risk dying from them.
Than to bother practicing this breathing technique themselves.
As for the Literacy level 5 that followed, it was even simpler, referring to the original host's level of education. Ding Yun wasn't sure if it was considered high, but the original host had no problem reading medical books and understood most uncommon characters, so her cultural level was definitely not low.
It was evident that level five should be considered a good level.
The final level 5 in Tree Climbing was mainly because the original host was alone in the valley with no one to play with, and she learned from the monkeys in the nearby forest, basically achieving mastery.
Climbing trees and picking fruit was effortless.
This was also why Ding Yun could easily climb trees; she had inherited the original host's tree-climbing skills.
These skills were practically muscle memory.
Even without sorting through the memories, she would still be able to do it to a large extent.
"The original host is only sixteen years old. Knowing so many things is quite good. She's not a genius, but she's definitely hardworking. However, the original host's understanding of Jianghu knowledge is too limited, and she knows nothing about those black-clothed individuals.
She only knew that they were likely from the Demonic Sect.
But she had no idea which specific sect it was.
It seemed this matter needed long-term planning. The immediate priority was to escape, preferably to return home. Additionally, her body needed conditioning; previously, stimulating her potential had further damaged her foundation. At the same time, she needed to find a way to learn some martial arts.
Being a doctor in a normal, safe world was quite dangerous.
Let alone in this wuxia world.
Everyone knows Huang Feihong is a martial arts master, but how many remember that he actually ran a medical clinic.
Whether martial arts were a hobby or a necessity to run his clinic well.
It's hard to say if one couldn't defend themselves!
The Divine Doctor Valley was destroyed because its martial arts were insufficient, and its Qinggong was also poor. Their internal energy was mainly for conditioning the body, and they strictly forbade disciples from specializing in poison arts. They thought by not interfering in Jianghu affairs, they could remain safe, but they still intervened to help the righteous path during the war between the righteous and demonic factions. How could that be considered not interfering in Jianghu affairs?
It was reasonable for them to be wiped out early as a "healer."
Never mind, let's not dwell on it. The first priority is to fill my stomach and find a way to leave this desolate wilderness."
After reviewing the skills the original host possessed, Ding Yun immediately, based on the original host's memories, carefully sorted through and speculated on why the Divine Doctor Valley met its demise. She also roughly outlined her short-term and long-term plans.
Whether it was revenge or rebuilding the Divine Doctor Valley, there was no rush.
The most important thing was to lie low and develop.
It wouldn't be too late to do these things once she had the ability.
Then, Ding Yun stayed on the treetop for a while longer. When it was dawn, she quickly descended.
She began to gather wild fruits while searching for small wild animals like rabbits and pheasants, hoping to fill her stomach before leaving the forest.
Otherwise, she was afraid she wouldn't even last until she could sell things before starving to death or collapsing from exhaustion.
The process was, of course, not very smooth.
After all, the original host had no hunting skills, and wild pheasants and rabbits weren't foolish enough to come to her. One was cunning, and the other could even flap its wings and fly a short distance. Ding Yun was truly helpless against them. In the end, she could only find more wild fruits and, cruelly, raided a squirrel's nest for some nuts to fill her stomach.
The most shameless thing was that before leaving, Ding Yun followed the squirrel's nest and found two more squirrel nests nearby, completely emptying their larders.
She took them along to eat on her journey.
Regardless of how heartbroken the squirrels must have been to find their homes ransacked upon returning, Ding Yun, after eating her fill, used her tree-climbing skill to ascend to the treetop, found the correct direction to leave the forest, and began to make her way forward.
However, since it wasn't a time for escaping for her life, Ding Yun wasn't in too much of a hurry. She ambled along, while also dodging various dangers that appeared in the forest. It took her five days to reach the edge of the forest, and along the way, she also collected a good amount of medicinal herbs, relatively valuable ones.
There were indeed many medicinal herbs in the forest, but herbs like honeysuckle, which sold for only a few cents a jin when dried, were not worth the effort for Ding Yun to collect or carry. She only bothered to pick and carry the more valuable ones.
And before leaving the forest.
To ensure her safety, Ding Yun specifically disguised herself. For instance, she made a relatively rough modification to her female attire to resemble male clothing, and also made some changes to her hairstyle, generally modeling her appearance after the hunters in the original host's memories.
Then, she felt at ease and headed towards the nearest city.
Although traveling in ancient times required a travel permit, that was for long-distance journeys, not for casual strolls. Generally, unless a major incident occurred, not everyone entering the city would be checked for travel permits. Moreover, Ding Yun's hunter attire suggested she wasn't traveling from a distant region. So, after she offered a few handfuls of nuts,
She successfully entered the city.
And found a pharmacy to sell her herbs.
The process went smoothly. She encountered no one who looked down on her, nor any other troubles. The shopkeeper, perhaps because Ding Yun spoke knowledgeably about the herbs,
Didn't try to cheat her and offered market prices.
Over ten taels of silver were easily earned.
The so-called valuable medicinal herbs were merely relative to those selling for a few cents a jin; they weren't so precious as to be hundred-year-old ginseng or thousand-year-old reishi mushrooms.
Selling for over ten taels was already quite good.
With money in hand, Ding Yun's next step was naturally to buy clothes, soap, and other necessities, then find an inn and pay for lodging and a bath.
She hadn't bathed in days, and her clothes were stained with blood. If she hadn't disguised herself as a hunter and people assumed the blood was from animals, she might have been handed over to the authorities. She lacked the conditions in the forest, but now that she was in the city with resources, she naturally had to bathe and change her clothes immediately.
Her clothes remained male attire, as she still couldn't fight. It was slightly safer to wear male clothing when traveling alone.
After bathing, she naturally had to go out for a good meal, then return to her room to sleep and rest well.
For the past few days, she hadn't eaten or slept well.
Ding Yun was physically and mentally exhausted.
Now that she could relax, she had to take the opportunity to do so.
