Chapter 274

Bai Xiaoyu felt his heart racing. If this were the case, couldn't they quickly train a batch of healers? With a bit of training, wouldn't that quickly increase the number of pharmacists?

However, what about the other leaders?

Bai Xiaoyu pointed to the fighting leaders and asked, "What about them?"

The Little Prince sighed. This guy really doesn't recall a thing.

He replied resignedly, "They also have various assimilation skills, but none as extraordinary as Huang Yu's."

Bai Xiaoyu: "So that's how it is."

At that moment, his optical brain flashed, and Bai Xiaoyu answered, "Hao Qiao, what's going on?"

On the other end, Hao Qiao was frowning at some documents, and upon hearing the beastly growls, he reflexively looked up to see a little white tiger, "Bai Ji, no, boss?!"

Bai Xiaoyu nodded and continued the growling conversation, "It's me, what's going on? I'm very busy right now."

Bai Xiaoyu found it amazing that beastmen or half-beastmen could understand each other's growls and chirps.

So these days, he had been communicating with those around him in this manner.

Hao Qiao stared at him for a while, thinking that his boss was so powerful that nothing that happened to him would be surprising, and then said, "Our medical team has been having trouble recruiting people recently. Those noble families are inexplicably targeting us, using threats and offering high prices to poach people. We can't get any students from the pharmacy and medical professions."

Both professions demand extensive knowledge, and training someone requires significant time, money, effort, and talent.

Therefore, students in these professions are highly sought after.

Their medical team hasn't been established for long and is just starting out, with only a few classes.

But it's far from enough.

Just the Huang Family alone has medical teams spread across their star systems, with numbers totaling at least over a hundred thousand. And that's just the tip of the iceberg; there are even more behind the scenes.

This is the foundation of the noble families, able to recruit so many medical students for their own use.

Among the noble families, the Huang Family doesn't even rank in the top three.

There are noble families stronger than the Huang Family, and their medical teams might be even larger.

So if they were to go on strike, it would bring catastrophic disaster to the warriors during wartime.

Their Spark Medical Team only has a few hundred people, which is incomparable.

Now they can't even recruit people, which is really stressing out Hao Qiao, the person in charge.

Bai Xiaoyu: "I'll think of a way."

After comforting Hao Qiao a bit, the two hung up.

If the students are afraid of the noble families, they can recruit under the royal family's name. After all, he is now an acknowledged royal heir, so maybe this title will work?

They can try it first.

Also, he once again turned his gaze to Huang Yu, who was giving injections to the cubs.

If his guess pans out, even though his medical team is just starting out, with a treasure apprentice like Huang Yu, he wouldn't have much to worry about.

If you give someone a shot, even ordinary people would gain enlightenment, right?

Bai Xiaoyu thought so and asked, but Huang Yu shook his head.

The Little Prince rolled his eyes, "How much have you forgotten? Don’t you remember such basic stuff?"

Bai Xiaoyu: "I haven't forgotten. I'm familiar with human common sense. I just don't know much about the Bugs'."

The Little Prince scoffed, "Then didn’t you notice he doesn’t need to force anyone? Never mind, you explain it to him."

The last sentence was clearly directed at Huang Yu, who was giving a shot to a nearby Bug cub while speaking, "Not all Bugs can take on my ability and pass it down. They need to have the right kind of body themselves, with attributes leaning towards water or wood, especially wood attributes are the most suitable."

Hearing this, Bai Xiaoyu understood.

Isn’t this just like the water and wood spiritual roots from the cultivation realm? The five elements, he's familiar with that.

So this is pretty much like the healing powers during the apocalypse, requiring a special physique to awaken.

So, Huang Yu’s shot kinda acts like a catalyst, a unique awakening agent for healing abilities.

In this way, he is still more comprehensive. As long as their mental energy is strong and they’ve got the knack, he can teach the other party to refine medicine.

Seeing Bai Xiaoyu's sudden realization, Huang Yu added, "I’ve only tried it on my own people, not on humans. But humans seem to have these two types of bodies too, I just don't know if it will work."

Bai Xiaoyu: "I'm wood and fire, a good seedling for alchemy, and I also have wood attributes. Why don’t you give me a shot and see?"

Little Prince Xiao Bao and Huang Yu: "..."

Bai Xiaoyu touched his tiger face, "What, did I say something wrong?"

The Little Prince was almost speechless, "Awakening is a gift from the superior to the subordinate, where the superior has absolute command over the subordinate. So what are you thinking, letting him command you? This is invalid, you know?"

Bai Xiaoyu: "But I'm not the Bug Emperor, I'm human, maybe it won't work on me."

The three suddenly looked at him very seriously, their tone firm, "You are."

"Alright."

Bai Xiaoyu couldn't argue with them and felt a bit disappointed.

After all, he was under immense pressure, and the medical team was severely understaffed.

At this moment, Huang Yu walked over, seeing him frowning, and couldn't help but speak up, "But I have another method to try."

Bai Xiaoyu's disappointment vanished, and he asked excitedly, "What is it?"

Huang Yu: "The blessing of the Tree of Life."

After saying this, Huang Yu transformed into the complete form of the Tree of Life. Compared to the two small sprouts before, it had now grown into a small sapling as tall as an adult's waist. The branches bent down, touching the little white tiger's forehead, and a green light representing life enveloped the entire little white tiger, gradually shrinking and disappearing into the little white tiger's brow.

The small sapling swayed its branches in the wind, "This way, you can share part of my abilities. But you don't have branches, you can't bloom flowers..."

The little white tiger quickly waved its paws, "That's not necessary."

He touched the medicinal herb he had just taken out, and as soon as he touched it, detailed effects of the herb flashed through his mind, more detailed than what he had learned so far.

Excited, he randomly touched various plants around him, all with the same result.

This...

Has he turned into a walking plant encyclopedia?

Is this the blessing of the Tree of Life?

That's amazing!

Facing the excited little white tiger, Huang Yu didn't want to ruin his good mood, but he still spoke up to burst his bubble, "White Papa, this is my energy. Usually, once you use it up, the ability will fade away."

Bai Xiaoyu was stunned. There's a time limit?

Bai Xiaoyu: "How long can it last?"

Huang Yu: "It depends on my strength. I'm relatively weak now, so it might last about ten minutes. But if you use it a lot for identifying herbs, the energy might run out sooner."

Bai Xiaoyu: "I've already felt it."

He touched the grass again, but couldn't read any data. It seems he has already lost that ability.

Well, it seems we can't rely too much on external help.

Bai Xiaoyu: "By the way, is this harmful to you?"

Huang Yu: "Not really, just a small loss of energy, but I can only bless once a day."

It's already quite miraculous.

Bai Xiaoyu made it clear that he's not greedy.

But he hasn't given up yet. He immediately went back and found three parents with water and wood affinities. One ordinary person, one beastman, and one beastman. After hearing about the benefits and possible risks, they all expressed their willingness to give it a try.

After all, they're just ordinary families. The fields of pharmacy and medicine are highly competitive, requiring extremely high scores. They didn't get in back then, but now they have a chance to get involved, and there's a possibility of instantly becoming skilled, so they're determined to try no matter what.

Even though they might be controlled in the future and lose their freedom.

But their cubs have also become subordinates of these great leaders, so adding one more parent wouldn't be a problem.

Besides, a family should stick together, united and moving forward as one.

Huang Yu had already prepared the syringes, and Bai Xiaoyu asked once more, "After all, you're not cubs, you might not adapt to this dominant relationship. This injection might only guarantee your lives, nothing else. Are you really sure?"

The three nodded in unison, they had already prepared themselves mentally.

Bai Xiaoyu nodded to Huang Yu, and Huang Yu directly gave each of them a shot.

After the injection, Bai Xiaoyu kept staring at the three, not willing to look away for even a second.

The first to react was the ordinary person, then the beastman, and finally the beastman.

The three reacted just like the cubs, rolling on the ground, and soon the same branches and leaves grew on their backs.

When they finished evolving, Bai Xiaoyu rushed over, pressing his little paws on their wrists to check the situation inside their bodies.

After checking all three, he gave them different herbs, and they all identified them correctly.

The little white tiger grinned, his tail stiff with joy.

Success!

The three were also stunned by their newfound superpowers.

They now share the same thoughts as Bai Xiaoyu had before, constantly experimenting with various plants, beaming with joy, each believing they have become plant experts.

Bai Xiaoyu is overjoyed. During his communication with them, his inherent Tree of Life aura can help accelerate the growth of plants.

Great, there's a large area of newly developed medicinal fields here. They spend most of their time studying medicine, and then take some time to touch the herbs in the fields.

Bai Xiaoyu's mind is buzzing with clever plans. With Qin Lie and Qi Yanhuan ensuring the herbs are in the best growing environment, he can throw these people in as growth boosters.

He ponders for a moment, then suddenly turns to look at Huang Yu. If those guys are so powerful, wouldn't this Tree of Life reach divine status?

The little tiger swings its tail and jumps onto Huang Yu's shoulder, patting the tiny buds sprouting from his head.

Facing his paw, the buds dodge repeatedly, and Bai Xiaoyu almost gets carried away playing and forgets the main task.

It's not until Huang Yu asks him what's the matter that he comes back to his senses.

Bai Xiaoyu: "Disciple, do you mind sleeping in the form of the Tree of Life?"

Huang Yu: "I don't mind. Actually, I'm more accustomed to sleeping in dragon form, as I haven't been in plant form for long."

Bai Xiaoyu: "Plants are great, you should try more, maybe you'll get used to sleeping in plant form in the future."

Huang Yu: "That makes sense, I'll try."

Bai Xiaoyu: "Then do you mind sleeping outdoors?"

Huang Yu: "I don't mind, I can sleep in the wild in either dragon or plant form."

The little tiger is delighted, wraps its small tail around the precious disciple's ankle, and pulls him to a newly opened medicinal field. "See that spot? Right in the middle of the field. From now on, you can plant yourself there every night."

Huang Yu looks at the bare little hill: "..."

At night, the little tiger dreams of herbs, sometimes even a medical team.

Big Black gently pats the little tiger cradled in his arms, thinking, "Wow, recent events have really worried Bai Bai, even dreaming about them while asleep."

Then he turns to look out the window, a deep blue tentacle slithers in, heading straight for the little tiger.

But before it gets close, Big Black grabs it and casually throws it out.

This must be the umpteenth time tonight.

Knowing that the Little Prince won't settle down, Big Black, unable to bear it any longer, uses his mental energy to tie the deep blue tentacle into a dead knot, hanging it on the window to sway back and forth.

The little tiger wakes up in the morning and sees this, finding it both amusing and frustrating.

It seems Little Breaker was up to no good again last night.

Not sure if Big Black stayed up all night, he just thinks of getting up, and the next second the little tiger disappears.

Bai Xiaoyu touches the blanket, good news, he has transformed into human form.

Bad news, he has no clothes, and Big Black comes out.

Their eyes meet.

After a while, Big Black takes out a bathrobe and hands it over, "Put it on."

Bai Xiaoyu takes it and puts it on, asking, "Your face isn't red, your heart isn't racing, is it because the chiseled abs I worked so hard to develop aren't good-looking?"

Big Black Egg: "Not bad, do you want to see mine? Eight bucks."

Bai Xiaoyu suddenly laughed, "There's still one hanging over there, let's do it another time."

The Little Prince's tentacle transmitted everything it saw to the Little Prince, who said, "What are these two scheming now?"

Little Bai: "What's up with White Papa? Spill the beans."

The Little Prince didn't care about what should or shouldn't be said and vividly recounted their conversation.

Little Bai gave the Little Prince a knowing pat, "You need to learn more about human behavior, they're courting."

Yang Teng, who had come to find Bai Xiaoyu, stopped to eavesdrop and was completely floored after hearing everything.

Damn, two old-timers falling in love, it's enough to make your teeth hurt.
