Yang Xiao was walking back to the village, he planned to help the village out. Since he now discovered that the system might want to push him in the direction, he could help the villagers amd find out of his suspicions were true.
Honestly he didn’t mind being a healer, healers were very sought after. After all cultivators got constantly wounded amd a lot of those wounds couldn’t be healed by normal means. So who would be willing to offend someone who might safe your life one day.
So he definitely didn’t have anything against becoming a healer. Honestly it sounded way better then having to constantly face thousands of enemies that try to kill you because you killed their young master. Everything would be easier if he was a healer, he could just beat the yoing master to death and then heal him.
Surely if he did that the thousands of people won’t come looking for revenge, right? But he was still kinda dissatisfied, he didn’t like the idea of something trying to manipulate his life.
Of course he still had to confirm his suspicions, but after confirming what should he do? Should he follow the wishes of the system, or try to go against the system. He definitely would have an easier time if he followed the wishes of the system.
While thinking about all that he didn’t noticed that he had already arrived at the village. The villagers looked at him surprised, they hadn’t seen him in such a long time that they didn’t expect him to come back.
For him this seclusion felt very short, but for the villagers a year was a long time. After all the villagers felt already lucky if they could life for 50 years. So out of the villagers view he had just spent 1/50th of their life sitting in a forest.
Honestly he didn’t know why it was so easy for him to enter seclusion. Maybe because he spent his entire last life with reading books, or maybe because his memories combined with the ones of Yang Xiao.
But for now it was time to move his plans to work. He walked to his parents and told them that he wanted to become a healer for the villagers. If his guess was right then the system would reward him a lot for doing this.
If his guess was wrong then he still wouldn’t make a loss. With this in mind all the villagers heard soon that Yang Xiao came back and wanted to start working as healer. They were extremely excited, they were really interested in this legendary inheritance that he had apparently obtained.
Not to mention healers were very expensive, if the villagers were sick or wounded they usually would choose to treat the wounds themselves. Of course the village had people experienced in dealing with wounds and sick people. But how could a normal doctor compare to a cultivator specialized in healing people?

With this news spreading Yang Xiao received soon his first patient. This patient was an old man, he was already past 50,one of the oldest people in the village. His health wasn’t very good anymore and he had a bad cough.
With his age and his health problems that got worse day after day, it was likely he wouldn’t life till the end of the year. Bit Yang Xiao didn’t feel troubled by this patient.
„ok old man i want you to sit completely still while i treat you. I will let my qi enter your body anf you might feel a tingly feeling but i want you to ignore it.“ Said Yang Xiao.
The old man nodded and Yang Xiao got ready to treat the patient. If he cultivated another element he wouldn’t be confident in treating the old man. But wood had a trace of the element of life. Making the old man a bit healthier wouldn’t be a problem.
Of course he couldn’t completely treat the old man, his skills were not good enough to be able to reverse aging. He started to let his wood qi enter the old man’s body and let it flow through him.
He didn’t have a healing technique, but wood was a element of healing in itself. So even without technique it would have healing effects.
The old man started a recovering, and his expression looked soon a lot healthier. At that point Yang Xiao stopped the treatment. If nothing unexpected happened the old man would now be able to life atleast for another 5 years.
„thank you, i can’t believe how much better i feel. You are a true Saint, i will definitely tell the other villagers about your great powers.“
Yang Xiao just smiled awkwardly when he heard this. The old man definitely wouldn’t call him a saint anymore if he knew that Yang Xiao only did this to test the thoughs of the system.
Like this news spread quickly and all the villagers got excited. They actually had a healer in the village, and it was one of them!! More and more people askex for his treatment and he ended up treating another 20 people.
At this point the thing he had waited for finally happened. A system notification came, it would be revealed now what the intentions of the system are.
„Novice Healer
Reward : Rank 3 Alchemy, blessing of the trees technique, knowledge about the human body, knowledge about sicknesses.“
Yang Xiao didn’t even have time to be dumbfounded because an enormous amount of knowledge entered his mind. It was so enormous that his soul strength actually doubled without him even cultivating.
After calming down he looked at the rewards and thought about how right he was. Rank 3 alchemy? That meant his pills would still be sought after by gold core realm cultivators.
And the blessing of the trees technique? It wasn’t just extremely efficient in treating injuries but it was also able to treat curses. That was terrifying, healers were rare, but you would still be able to find one if you looked for one. But healers who could treat curses were extremely rare, all of them being basically a famous healer.
Not to mention with the knowledge of the human body and the knowledge about sicknesses he felt like had studied being a healer for over a decade. No matter what he thought previously he was now entirely convinced that the system wanted him to be a healer.
But what should he do now that he knew that? He could try to be a heaven defying hero and go against the system wishes. But he also could follow the systems wishes gain boundless rewards in the process and become an unrivaled healer. The question was now what did he truly want?
