Chapter 38 The Farmer's Path
"Although she switched from being a vampire to a doctor, Tamayo did not escape Muzan's curse. However, unlike demons, she does not need to devour flesh and blood. She only needs to drink a certain amount of blood to maintain her survival."
"Therefore, Ms. Tamayo believes that true vampires only need to drink a certain amount of blood, and although they are somewhat afraid of and disgusted by sunlight, they will never die from being exposed to sunlight."
Yoriichi also said, "Muzan has always longed to become a real vampire and live in the sunlight. He usually disguises himself in various identities in order to research such a method."
Unohana then asked, "Can this kind of healing power be passed down like vampire power?"
This is what interests her the most.
After all, she came here to learn the essence of life.
Tamayo did not answer immediately, but turned her gaze to Yoriichi with a hint of inquiry.
Yoriichi met her gaze, then slowly nodded, and she said:
"I call this medicine a 'magic potion,' which is a drug with strange magic that grants special powers once ingested."
At this point, she changed the subject, adding a hint of warning to her tone:
"But not everyone is a good match; you need to have the corresponding traits. If you're not a good match, the person who drinks the potion is very likely to lose their mind."
"Lost their mind...?" Unohana frowned slightly upon hearing this. If that were the case, then the risk was indeed quite high.
"Given the strength of your soul, there's not much to worry about," Yoriichi said. "As long as you can successfully digest the potion's power, there shouldn't be any problems."
"Digestion?"
"Yes, that's one of the reasons I call him a doctor," Tamayo nodded.
"Just as vampires devour the flesh and blood of others, doctors also heal the sick and save lives. Every time a doctor treats someone, he further digests the power of the potion. I call this the 'acting method'."
"Acting method? This seems interesting." This was the first time Unohana had heard of such a training method, and she became even more interested.
"Can I gain the abilities of a doctor simply by playing the role of one?"
Tamayo nodded first, then shook her head: "It's not just about being a doctor. The healing potion I concoct can currently advance four levels, but it needs to be improved step by step."
"The most basic potion, I call it 'The Cultivator,' then 'The Healer,' followed by 'The Harvest Priest,' and finally, my current title, 'The Biologist.'"
Yoriichi said, "Retsu's soul foundation far surpasses that of ordinary people, and theoretically he might be able to withstand the impact of higher-level magic potions. However, to be on the safe side and avoid any unpredictable risks, proceeding step by step is the best strategy."
"Of course, I'm just giving you a suggestion. After all, this concerns your future, and you'll have to make the decision yourself."
Unohana smiled faintly: "Now that I've come here with you, what's there to hesitate about?"
Since she chose to go with Yoriichi Tsugikuni, it naturally means that she has made a decision.
Although we haven't known each other for very long, following behind Yoriichi Tsugikuni always gives me the feeling that he is a trustworthy person.
Following his guidance and venturing into the unknown was not an adventure for her, but rather a gateway to a wider world.
Seeing that Yoriichi and Unohana had both said so, Tamayo said, "If Miss Unohana needs it, I can concoct the corresponding potion for you."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Ms. Tamayo," Unohana said. "I've studied some medicine before, so there shouldn't be any problems."
"No, before the doctor, we need to digest the 'Cultivator' potion. Even if Miss Unohana's soul strength is sufficient, it is safest to proceed step by step."
"The cultivator..." Unohana murmured the title, a strange look flashing across her face.
If she has to play a role, does that mean she'll have to go... farm the land next?
Seemingly sensing her confusion, Yoriichi said, "If you want to understand the essence of life, let's start with the seeds of various plants."
"The cultivator, as the name suggests, begins with crops, or plants. Then comes the physician who understands the human body, the harvest priest who promotes the reproduction and growth of organisms, and the biologist who has a deep understanding of the characteristics of various organisms. This is a process of continuously deepening our understanding of the essence of life."
Unohana seemed to ponder this, finding Yoriichi's words quite reasonable.
This path does indeed subtly align with her initial intention to understand the essence of life, and it is more systematic and profound than she originally anticipated.
She picked up the teacup in front of her and took a small sip.
The tea was warm and smooth, with a unique herbal fragrance on the palate. After swallowing, one could feel a refreshing energy flowing through the body, which greatly relieved the fatigue from the past few days of travel.
"Mr. Yoriichi, you still haven't found Muzan Kibutsuji?" Tamayo gently shifted the topic to another matter that she had always been concerned about, her tone filled with concern.
Yoriichi sighed almost inaudibly, shook his head, and said:
"He has never appeared before me since that meeting five hundred years ago. Just like you said, as long as I am alive, he should never reappear."
"However... after hiding for five hundred years, he eventually couldn't bear the loneliness any longer, and he transformed a nobleman in the Soul Society into a demon."
Zhu Shiwen's tone became more serious as she said, "He has a strong obsession with living in the sunlight, which is his greatest weakness. So even if he hides, he will definitely be looking for a solution in the dark."
"Yes... I've alerted him." Yoriichi said with some regret, "I wonder if my intervention this time will frighten Muzan so much that he will never appear again."
"It's not your fault," Tamayo said. "So, are you still going to continue searching for Muzan Kibutsuji?"
"Yes," Yoriichi said. "My main purpose in bringing Unohana here this time is to... after a short rest, I will embark on my journey to find Muzan again."
"Retsu, how about you stay with Ms. Tamayo until the situation outside stabilizes?"
He then looked at Mao Zhihua.
Unohana finished the remaining tea in her cup, put it down gently, and said, "I came here to learn, so of course I'm staying."
Yoriichi's gaze lingered between Unohana and Tamayo for a moment before finally settling on Unohana, his tone solemn:
"I entrust Miss Tamayo's safety to you. The world is in turmoil right now, and I'm worried..."
"If the chaos escalates further, this place will no longer be safe."
