Chapter 678: Chapter 678: Saving People

Peter Brown had just taken over the house when he heard a tumult outside.

"What’s going on?" Reece Pan furrowed his brows.

Levi West said, "It’s someone wailing from Alexander White’s family in the village."

Everyone then exited the house.

"Village Chief, please save our dear Alexander."

At this time, a woman started weeping loudly.

When Peter Brown looked towards the courtyard, there were already quite a few villagers present.

"What’s wrong?" Levi West inquired.

"Alexander climbed the mountain to hunt and got injured by demon beasts! There may be no hope for him!"

A villager quickly delivered the news.

Cedric Lee rapidly moved to the crowded place.

When Cedric Lee took a look, Peter Brown also saw a villager lying there, his whole chest crushed into large fragments, and his internal organs were shattered. Looking at the man, he was exhaling but not inhaling.

Cedric Lee took out a pill and fed it to the injured man, "I have a healing pill here, but I can’t treat this condition. He needs to be sent to County Town or needs a higher-level healing pill."

Upon hearing this, the villagers’ faces underwent a change.

A villager said, "Who can afford such good pills!"

At this moment, the women of the Wei family burst into heart-wrenching sobs.

"Prepare for the funeral."

Levi West sighed.

Peter Brown asked, "Are the Healing Pills expensive?"

Reece Pan said: "The pill that old Lee has just given cost a hundred cultivation coins, a good healing pill costs thousands of cultivation coins. How many people here can afford it?"

Only then did Peter Brown further realize the value of cultivating coins.

Levi West let out a sigh, "There’s no other way!"

After observing the situation of the Alexander’s family, Peter hesitated for a moment, but then said, "How about I give it a try?"

"You can treat him?" Everyone turned to look at Peter Brown.

Peter Brown said: "I’m not sure if it will work but my Master taught me some traditional methods."

Upon hearing Peter was willing to give it a try, the women from the Wei family all knelt before Peter and said, "Please, save him!"

Levi West said, "Everyone, bear in mind. Alexander is beyond saving already, even if Peter can’t save him, no one can blame him. Understand?"

"We won’t blame him, please just try to save him." The Wei family understood that there was little hope for Alexander.

Cedric Lee patted Peter Brown’s shoulder and said, "Just give it a try, nobody will blame you if it doesn’t work. We’ll back you up."

Peter didn’t know about the physical conditions in the Cultivation World. He had already examined Alexander and found he had no Spiritual Roots, indicating a Mortal Body.

Since it was a mortal body, Peter believed that herbs here should also work on him.

Without any more hesitation, Peter took out a set of silver needles from his person. Before everyone had the chance to react, Peter rapidly deployed his needles on Alexander’s body, which was soon covered with silver needles.

"For now, I have protected his vital energy. I need to find some herbal medicine."

Find herbal medicine?

The villagers looked at Peter and then looked towards Alexander.

"Look at that!"

Someone exclaimed whilst pointing towards Alexander.

At this time, everyone clearly noticed the change in Alexander’s condition. His pale complexion had lessened, and even his breathing became a bit more stable.

He can be cured!

Even Cedric Lee’s eyes widened in surprise at this.

It should be noted that there are very few pharmacists and alchemists in the County Town. Many commoners typically can’t afford to get treated. Now, Peter was able to stabilize the injury just by needle treatment. Whether it could save their lives or not, with this method alone, he would not have to worry about food.

At this time, Peter was also pleasantly surprised.

He originally thought that people in the Cultivation World had different physiques from Earth. Using silver needle treatments might not have much effect. Now he realized this was not the case. Even in the Cultivation World, the teachings he received could help people.

Peter now felt even more confident.

"Good lad, you’re really something!"

Even Reece Pan, who was typically not a man of many words, couldn’t help but admire him.

"What herbal medicine do you need?" Levi West asked excitedly.

"Don’t worry, I’m going to look for it around here. I saw it when I came," Peter said, and then rushed off.

Some people followed Peter.

Everyone was puzzled as they watched Peter pluck spiritual vegetables in the Spirit Field, collect some grass on the roadside, and even dig out some grassroots.

No one understood what Peter was going to do.

Peter was too busy to explain and asked a woman, "Could you please help me wash these herbs?"

As he watched the woman leave with the herbs, Peter continued searching.

"Done!"

Peter was relieved. He had pills that could save lives, and he could definitely use them. However, Peter didn’t want to reveal his identity as an alchemist prematurely. As a newcomer, he didn’t know what the consequences would be if his identity was exposed. By using common methods to save people, attention wouldn’t be drawn to him.

"Here are your herbs."

When the woman returned to the courtyard, she had washed the herbs for Peter.

Peter then asked Levi West for an earthenware pot, where he began sorting out the acquired wild grass and vegetables.

What everyone could see was Peter dropping a segment of vegetable into the pot and discarding the rest.

"Why did you only choose such a small segment?" Levi West asked, unable to suppress his curiosity.

"I’ve only chosen the sections that contain the required medicinal properties, the rest is useless."

Peter continued his work while answering.

Everyone wasn’t sure how Peter selected the herbs, but they all felt that his technique was awesome.

Soon, from a large heap of wild grass and other items, Peter selected roughly one pot’s worth, and then he began to boil the medicine with True Fire.

For cultivators like them, it was quite common to use True Fire to boil water, therefore no one was particularly surprised by the scene.

At this time, everyone was hoping, they all wanted to see if Peter’s medicine could save the gravely wounded Alexander.

The people in the Wei family were watching Peter attentively. For them, Peter was their saviour. Alexander was their main pillar of support, if he passed away, their family would collapse.

While boiling the medicine, Peter periodically inserted more needles into Alexander’s body.

At this point Peter was unsure himself whether the local herbs could really work.

However, with his powerful Divine Sense, he had investigated and found that the medicinal properties were similar; the only difference was that the herbs here, nourished by the spiritual energy, were much more potent than those on Earth by countless times.

He believed it should work.

Soon, the pot began to emit a fragrant smell of medicine.

Upon smelling the aromatic scent, everyone looked more hopeful.
