After divorcing my celebrity wife, I became the world's richest person

Chen Yu felt somewhat helpless; it seemed the old chieftain was intent on testing him.

He didn't say much more, for identifying medicinal herbs was not a difficult task for him, as his mind possessed the limits of current human medical knowledge.

But when he walked over, he was immediately taken aback. Out of the sixteen trays, there were twelve kinds of medicinal herbs he had never seen before, and there was no record of them even in the medical knowledge within his head.

"Seven-Flower Leaf, Five-Color Fragrance, Frosty Sky Root, Flying Fish Willow!"

After naming those four medicinal herbs, Chen Yu paused.

To tell the truth, these four herbs were also extremely rare, and perhaps in this world, only Chen Yu could recognize all of them at the same time.

Yet, the remaining twelve herbs made Chen Yu hesitate.

[System prompt, analyzing the category of medicinal herbs]

At the moment the system's voice sounded, Chen Yu let out a sigh of relief. It wasn't long before a wealth of information appeared in his mind.

"Sky Wolf Hemp, Black Water Fruit..."

He named the remaining eleven herbs smoothly, but then Chen Yu was stumped.

The final herb was such that even the system could not deduce its real name.

This thing looked like a giant white bug squirming slowly.

If he were to observe closely, he would find it appeared to be a liquid congealed together.

Moreover, it emitted a strange fragrance.

Chen Yu felt somewhat frustrated. What kind of rare item was this that even the system could not analyze it?

However, in his heart, a surge of excitement also blossomed. A small village was able to produce such rare medicinal herbs, which meant there must be a massive medicinal herb base here.

"Honored chieftain, forgive my ignorance. I have never seen this last herb before, and I do not recognize it."

Unexpectedly, the old chieftain burst into hearty laughter, patting Chen Yu's shoulder with some excitement.

"When that Er Gou came before, he could only identify one herb. The thought that you could identify eleven in one go! Even the people in our village may not be able to identify so many."

The other people also looked at Chen Yu with an admiring gaze, as if they were looking at a deity.

The nearby Da Hu also ran over excitedly and lifted him up in a hug.

"Do you know? That last herb is a unique man-made medicinal herb from our area called 'Ice Silkworm Tears!' Besides the people in our village, no one else can recognize it."

Hearing Da Hu say this, Chen Yu finally understood. It was a herb that had never appeared before; no wonder even the system could not determine it.

But Chen Yu had also developed a great interest in the Ice Silkworm Tears.

"Honored chieftain, may I ask what are the effects of this herb?"

The old chieftain didn't immediately answer but enthusiastically led Chen Yu into the village.

Before long, Chen Yu was brought in front of a large expanse of medicinal fields.

As the great array of medicinal herbs came into view, Chen Yu was also stunned there. There were tens of thousands of herbs intertwining in the air, and just a slight whiff was refreshing to the spirit.

"This is our medicinal field. Whatever herbs you wish to purchase, you may choose yourself! However, I must say this in advance, we here do not accept any form of currency, only goods!"

Chen Yu was taken aback, for he had never heard of such a requirement before.

However, after giving it some thought, the village is so remote that even if they were given money, there would be nowhere to spend it. Only goods would be of any practical use.

"That's easy to handle. Please, elder, write me a list of goods, and I will make sure they are delivered in the shortest possible time,"

The elder nodded in satisfaction, then waved over a few of the women who gathered herbs.

Chen Yu didn't stand on ceremony and directly led the women into the herb fields.

Before long, several large baskets of herbs had been gathered.

The herbs here were naturally nourished by the environment, giving them an exceedingly strong medicinal effect, many times more potent than those cultivated in greenhouses.

If the herbs from here were used as raw materials, the output of semi-finished herbal products would greatly increase.

The elder had meanwhile made a list of the necessary goods and handed it over to Chen Yu.

"Since you have already got your hands on the herbs, we won't see you off. The herbs you have taken can only be transported out by yourself."

Chen Yu coughed twice, realizing that even though his body was at the peak of human physical prowess, carrying so many herbs across the cliff would still be quite the challenge.

However, thinking back on the incident with Er Gou, Chen Yu came to terms with the situation.

"If that is so, then I shall take my leave. Farewell!" he said politely before packing up the herbs and hoisting them onto his back.

The enormous bundle of herbs was twice Chen Yu's size, looking like a small mountain upon his back.

Chen Yu didn't dwell on it and, with the herbs on his back, bolted for the outskirts of the village.

This sight left the villagers staring in amazement.

With so many herbs, to be able to move so freely was something only Da Hu in their village was capable of doing.

Since Chen Yu was a newly made friend of Da Hu, he did not wish to see any harm come to him and instinctively followed.

But by the time Da Hu caught up, Chen Yu had already scaled the cliff with the large bundle and was on the other side.

Da Hu breathed a sigh of relief and headed back to the village.

Now that Er Gou's true colors had been revealed, there was no longer a need for him to leave the village.

Chen Yu wandered the mountainous terrain with his bundle on his back.

The truck that had been driven there was long gone, taken by Er Gou, leaving Chen Yu with no choice but to walk down the mountain.

But just as he reached the foot of the mountain, a large group of people suddenly appeared at the road, blocking his way.

"Damn it to hell, I've been dealing herbs here for so many years without a hitch. You come along and abruptly ruin my business. If I don't chop you into pieces today, I won't be able to hold my head up in this area,"

Er Gou's annoying voice suddenly rang in his ears, causing Chen Yu to frown. Before he could react, a large group of people armed with weapons and shouting loudly charged at him.

Chen Yu sighed in resignation; he really didn't want to fuss too much with these people.

After a slight adjustment of his breathing, he deftly untied the bundle from his back and hurled it fiercely at the ones charging at the front, pinning them to the ground.

Then, like a bolt of lightning, he dashed forward, knocking the rest to the ground with a few punches and kicks, and directly lifted Er Gou up.

"You're no more than an ant in my eyes. I don't want to stoop to your level. Get lost now, or else I'll take you back to that cliff and let you hang there for a few days and nights to thoroughly appreciate the place!"
