High School of Demon Hunting

Chapter 1974: Chapter 195: The Little Witch Reciting Her Lessons

”So you mean, in the future only let the fatty sit at the core of the battle formation?” Zhang Ji Xin reopened, his tone softer than before.

The Fat Wizard puffed out his chest proudly, glancing around arrogantly.

Dylan looked at Zheng Qing, ”Aren’t you going to try? It’s your turn to be at the formation core this time... Don’t worry, even if you transform into a giant woman, nobody will laugh at you.”

Looking at Mr. Blood Werewolf’s small fangs showing between his lips, Zheng Qing felt a surge of impulse to pull them out with pliers and grind them into dust.

”Need any help? I happened to bring a bottle of garlic extract.” The diviner of the Atonement Hunting Team considerately reminded.

”No need.”

The captain of the Atonement Hunting Team chose to suppress the fuse of an internal conflict, muttering, ”Our most urgent task at the moment is to fully grasp the essence of deploying the Second Rank battle formation... As for expanding it to make every hunter skilled, that’s the next phase’s task. This phase, being able to transform into a qualified Giant of the Bo Fu Clan with solid flesh and standard size is the most important thing.”

The other hunters nodded slightly, expressing agreement.

”Since that’s the case.” Zhang Ji Xin said seriously, stuffing the rolling dark red Bo Fu Clan’s essence blood in a glass container into the Fat Wizard’s hand, ”I’ll leave this to you... Be careful, the bottle has only a cork, I didn’t add a new sealing spell, just pull out the cork and let out a wisp of breath when you use it...”

”Alright, alright, I’m not Li Meng.” The Fat Wizard waved dismissively.

From a distance, Li Meng, stuttering in front of Jiang Yu while reciting the properties of magical botanicals, sneezed heavily. She rubbed her reddening nose, enviously glancing at the two companions not far away who were playing with the Little Fox.

”Digitalis!” Jiang Yu knocked on the textbook in his hand, reminding the stuck Little Witch.

Li Meng immediately snapped back, humming and reciting, ”Digitalis is a poisonous herb... Poisonous... Can be used to prepare heart-strengthening medicine... Heart-strengthening medicine, Digitalis... Rehmannia Pill! Take 24 grams of cooked Rehmannia, 12 grams of Cornus and dried Yam each, 9 grams of Alisma and White Poria each, grind into powder and use honey to form pills, take with warm wine, can treat early whitening of hair, slow development, liver and kidney yin deficiency, dizziness, blurred vision and deafness...”

Jiang Yu sighed as she listened to this and finally couldn’t help but interrupt, ”Mainly treats blurred vision and deafness... Do you also need a dose of Rehmannia Pill to try?”

Li Meng, with her train of thought cut off, paused, hesitantly replied, ”A dose of Rehmannia Pill has fifty pills, can I finish it?”

Jiang Da Headmaster took a deep breath, looking up at the moonlight.

At this point, the moon had already hidden away, above was just the deep night sky and a piece of illusory starlight. A few light spheres summoned by the ’Little Star’ lighting spell hid in the starlight, scattering a small patch of broken glimmer, much like the witch’s mindset at this moment.

She retracted her gaze, slowly exhaling the anger inside.

”Is Digitalis the same as Rehmannia?” She asked kindly.

”Oh!” Li Meng smacked her fist into her palm, seeming to realize something, ”I was wondering why it felt wrong reciting just now... Yes, Rehmannia and Digitalis are different! Rehmannia can be prepared into Rehmannia Pill, Digitalis is used for heart-strengthening medicine!”

”What characteristics do Rehmannia and Digitalis have respectively?” Jiang Yu interrupted her cleverness.

Li Meng sneezed again, sniffled, hesitantly answered, ”Rehmannia, because its underground roots are yellowish-white, is called Rehmannia... Digitalis... Digitalis is called that because it looks like Rehmannia covered in hairs.”

It’s impressive she managed to articulate such a tongue-twister clearly.

”You really are a little genius.” A voice interrupted Li Meng’s analysis, interjected with some humor, ”If Digitalis is Rehmannia with hairs, does that mean Rhizoma Aconiti is Aconite with albinism?”

”Hmm? That’s quite possible.” Li Meng thoughtfully nodded.

”Possible my foot!”

Jiang Yu finally couldn’t bear it anymore, smacked the Little Witch on the head, angrily said, ”Rhizoma Aconiti is the dry tuber of Pinellia in the Araceae family, Aconite is the tuber of Ranunculaceae family Aconitum... They’re not the same herbs, what’s this got to do with albinism?”

The Little Witch, struck, held her head, teary-eyed but dared not resist her cousin’s tyranny, choosing instead to target the outsider who had just stirred trouble.

”Then explain the difference between Rehmannia and Digitalis,” she glared at Zheng Qing who suddenly appeared, rolled her eyes, throwing the problem that had troubled her at him.

Inwardly, Zheng Qing first thanked Doctor Xiao’s ancestors.

”Ahem,” the Warlock cleared his throat, quickly recited, ”Rehmannia, also known as Earth Marrow, a perennial herbaceous plant from the Rehmannia genus in the Scrophulariaceae family, stem can grow up to 30 cm high, about 5 cm in diameter, rhizome fleshy, yellow when fresh, stem purplish-red, blooms in early summer, corolla purplish red on the outside, yellow-purple inside, capsule elliptical and elliptic, flowering and fruiting period from April to July, named Rehmannia because its underground roots are yellow-white... Fresh Rehmannia is for clearing heat and cooling blood; cooked Rehmannia is for nourishing and replenishing.”

Pausing here, he looked at Li Meng.

Upon seeing the Little Witch with her small mouth slightly open, a dazed expression, he couldn’t help but chuckle, ”...Want me to continue? This is just the basics.”

Jiang Yu watched this scene with a merry smile, not stopping it.

Li Meng closed her mouth, swallowed, grudgingly rebutted, ”I just asked about Digitalis... I was originally reciting Digitalis... Why did you say so many details about Rehmannia?”

”Digitalis is also called Fox Glove or Death bell, named for its furry stems and leaves and leaves similar to Rehmannia,” Zheng Qing continued, picking up Poseidon who had just appeared at his feet, glanced at Zhu Si and Su Ya who followed, adding, ”Speaking of Digitalis, there’s an interesting legend... It’s said there’s a witch living in the English countryside who was friends with a fox, she gave the fox Digitalis blooming at home; and the fox, in turn, put these bell-shaped flowers on its paws, thus making almost no sound while hunting for food...”

”I know that! I know that!” Su Ya’s voice chimed excitedly, ”I thought you were talking about something else, turns out it’s Fox Glove... Greenhill Mansion’s garden has lots of them, the flowers can really silence our footsteps! Digitalis? That name is really ugly!”

Li Meng gave the intruding Little Fox Lady a fierce glare before turning to Zheng Qing, emphasizing, ”I asked about characteristics! Don’t you understand characteristics...”

”Enough.”

Jiang Yu pressed the agitated Little Witch, scolding, ”With your level, how can you judge others... Can you determine right or wrong if he says it?”
