Myth Beyond Heaven

Cloud Village's atmosphere was harmonious and full of joy. Everyone would greet each other whenever they met, and children were running around with carefree smiles on their faces.

It was a pure land Yun Lintian had never seen before after coming to this world.

"Where are you going, Little Lintian?" An aunty in her forties greeted Yun Lintian with a smile while carrying a basket of vegetables on the way home.

"I'm going to visit Uncle Sun, Aunty Si." Yun Lintian smiled and glanced at the plump cabbages in the basket. "They look delicious."

"Do you want some? You should eat more. Your wounds can heal faster." Aunty Si said while pushing the basket forward.

"Thank you, Aunty. We have them at home. We will go first. See you later." Yun Lintian politely declined and walked toward Uncle Sun's house at the end of the street under Aunty Si's kind gaze.

Uncle Sun's real name was Yun Sun. His late parents were powerful folk doctors. Yun Sun naturally inherited their practice after they had unfortunately passed away a few years ago.

When Yun Lintian and Yun Niu arrived at a large bamboo house, they were immediately attracted by the strong scent of medicines. Obviously, someone was concocting medicines right now.

Yun Lintian and Yun Niu didn't enter the house. They walked around and went to the backyard.

Soon, they saw a middle-aged man in a coarse robe carefully checking the fire while stirring a medicinal liquid in a clay pot. His expression was serious and extremely focused to the point Yun Lintian and Yun Niu didn't dare to disturb him.

A while later, the originally pleasant medicinal scent suddenly turned bad and black smoke began to float.

The middle-aged man quickly took the pot out of the stove and placed it on the ground before throwing a bunch of dirt into it. The black smoke gradually disappeared afterward.

He sat back in his chair and let out a disappointed sigh. "Failed again."

Yun Lintian glanced at some stalks of herbs on the ground briefly and seemed to figure out what kind of medicine the middle-aged man wanted to concoct.

He smiled and said. "Uncle Sun."

The middle-aged man, Yun Sun, wiped the sweat off his forehead and turned to look at Yun Lintian. "Oh, Little Lintian? Little Niu? Come, come. Take a seat first."

Yun Lintian pulled nearby bamboo chairs over for Yun Niu and himself before asking. "Are you making a potent healing pill, Uncle Sun?"

A surprise appeared on Yun Sun's face when he heard this. "Yes. How did you know?"

Yun Sun had met Yun Lintian a week ago when he went to see Yun Xia. After that, Yun Lintian asked whether he could follow him to learn medicine.

Yun Sun didn't think about it much and was happy to teach. After all, he always taught a bunch of children in the village. Adding Yun Lintian wasn't going to change anything.

However, Yun Lintian rarely expressed his opinion during the class, and Yun Sun had no idea whether he was talented or not. Who would have thought that Yun Lintian could identify the pill he was trying to make with a glance?

Yun Lintian didn't reply but explained. "In fact, the method you used earlier wasn't wrong. It is just that the temperature of the fire is not enough to get rid of the impurity of the herbs… Can I try?"

"Temperature is not enough?… Sure." Yun Sun touched his chin and nodded slightly.

Yun Lintian walked to the earthly stove and added more firewood to it. After the fire was settled, he turned to Yun Niu and said. "Come, Niuniu. Big brother will teach you how to select the herbs."

"Okay!" Yun Niu happily rushed to Yun Lintian's side and squatted down, listening to his teachings attentively.

Yun Lintian picked the herbs up and began to explain what to keep and what to remove, including how to discern the quality of herbs.

On the side, Yun Sun had an astonished expression when he listened to Yun Lintian. The more he listened, the wider his eyes became.

Although what Yun Lintian said was basic knowledge, his methods and details were easier to understand. Any children would understand what he said one or two times, which was entirely different from what Yun Sun had taught them.

Yun Niu listened to Yun Lintian in relish while noting down her small book from time to time.

Later, Yun Lintian began to put the herbs into the clay pot and stirred the pot in a circle, letting the herbs spin inside.

A moment later, a pungent smell of the impurity gradually flew out. Yun Lintian used his other hand to fan the fire as fast as possible, increasing the temperature to the limit.

Soon, the pungent smell was replaced by a fragrant scent of the medicines, causing Yun Sun's eyes to widen in shock. Although his talent was far inferior to Yun Lintian, he still knew the quality of the herbs in the pot currently. It was definitely more than ninety percent of purity!

Looking at the herbs that were without impurity, Yun Lintian frowned in dissatisfaction. Because the earthly stove couldn't provide enough fire, he couldn't make these herbs reach one hundred percent purity. As a top spirit doctor, this was a failure for him.

Yun Lintian put his dissatisfaction aside and poured a small amount of water into the pot while stirring nonstop. At the same time, he didn't forget to teach Yun Niu the techniques and principles behind his actions.

Twenty minutes later, Yun Lintian took the pot out of the stove and placed it on the ground, letting it cool down.

"After everything cooled down, we can scoop it out and make a pill by hand." Yun Lintian wiped the sweat off his forehead and said with a smile.

Yun Sun stepped forward and looked at the thick but not too sticky medicine inside the pot in astonishment. "Little Lintian, this…"

Yun Lintian nodded gently. "This is a potent healing pill you are looking for, Uncle Sun."

Yun Sun didn't hesitate to dip his finger in the pot and taste the medicine. His eyes lit up as he said. "This is it!"

Yun Lintian was about to say something. Suddenly, an anxious shout rang out from the front yard, along with hurried footsteps sounds.

"Uncle Sun! Are you there? Please save my brother!"
