Chapter 334: Chapter 238: The Wizard Association Moves Capital_2

Unexpectedly, as he looked out, he immediately saw an old woman leaning on a cane standing in front of the courtyard, also looking around as if she was trying to find something. She quickly noticed Mu You in the distance, a hint of joy flashed across her face and she hurriedly waved at him, beckoning him to come over.

Mu You was a bit surprised, he still hadn’t put on the skin of a Medicinal Plant Gatherer, as he was trying to get down the mountain quickly, so he was using the skin of a vampire instead.

With questions in his heart, Mu You walked over.

"Child, you’re finally back!" The old woman looked at him with a smile, a look of relief washing over her face.

"How....How do you recognize me?" Mu You asked awkwardly.

"Hehe, you lived here for a month after all, how could I not recognize you?" The old woman laughed kindly.

Mu You didn’t delve deeper into the matter, indeed, the old woman knew he was not a real Medicinal Plant Gatherer, yet she still treated him like her own child.

"Your horn." Mu You took out the Horn of Abundance from his ring and gave it back to the old woman.

The old woman took the horn, gently stroking it with reminiscent joy, and asked Mu You, "Did it help you?"

"Of course, it was a great help." Mu You nodded. Ignoring the original function of the Horn of Abundance itself, the casting of the Black Magic ’Rapid Growth’ that was traded through the Horn of Abundance recently performed brilliantly and was unquestionably effective.

"That’s good." The old woman nodded with satisfaction, already leading him into the house, "You’ve been running around for a month, you must be tired. Come inside and have something to eat."

Mu You was pulled in by the old woman, and he sat down in the main house while she went to the kitchen.

Mu You turned his head to look around. The house was small, with simple furniture and decorations, mostly made of bamboo and wood, but everything was clean and neat.

It looked quaintly elegant, but most of the home appliances were somewhat outdated. Now, with the Space Ring, he could easily transport supplies and improve the old woman’s living conditions by bringing some supplies from Earth.

Before long, the hustle from the kitchen subsided, and the elderly woman came out with a bowl and put a bowl of rice porridge in front of Mu You.

In the white porcelain bowl was a mix of various grains and chopped dishes, which merged into a riot of colors, just like the multi-grain porridge his game character had eaten many times before.

Seeing this magical porridge in reality, Mu You realized that it looked and smelled much better than he had imagined.

He took a spoonful and tasted it. The porridge was soft and smooth, sweet and salty, fragrantly rich, and faultless in taste.

With spoonfuls of porridge being swallowed, Mu You immediately felt a surge of magical energy in his body that flowed into his limbs, not only fully restoring all his lost Magic Power but also completely dispelling the fatigue from last night’s battle.

The old lady was satisfied seeing him enjoying his meal and wore a gentle smile, but after a while, she seemed to notice something, "You have the scent of the Elf Clan... It seems you have been roaming quite a bit."

Upon being reminded of this, Mu You also thought of the previous matter and narrated his experiences of the Elf Clan and encountering Spindle Grandma to the old woman.

"Spindle... what a nostalgic name." The old woman laughed and said then turning to Mu You, she said, "If you want to learn brewing skills, you don’t have to go all the way to the Elf Clan, I can teach you right here at home."

"Oh? Can you?" Mu You’s eyes lit up, thinking that the skills taught by the Elf Clan had some rules against spreading.

"Hehe, the elves lead casual lives, they don’t have too many rules. After all, they won’t teach the truly important skills, and the ones already taught, they don’t interfere in." The old woman smiled.

This was an unexpected surprise for Mu You.

In the following time, Mu lost interest in leveling up and started studying brewing skills of the old woman at home.

The brewing process in this world, unlike the traditional method of distillation on Earth, uses magic, ultimately giving the finished alcohol various magical effects.

Learning the magic brewing is a significant and profound life profession. It’s no easier than studying Magic Potions. Because each brewing consumes quite a lot of time there is no shortcut of speed repetition with the Pocket Watch and Fool’s Card. Practically, it doesn’t take less time than studying Magic Potions.

Nevertheless, the old woman found joy in teaching, and Mu You was diligent in learning. From selecting grains, treating grains, preparing yeasts, brewing methods... each step took a considerable amount of time. The old lady said that she had spent two years in the Elf Forest to truly master brewing skills.

From morning until afternoon, a whole day passed. In the end, Mu You just learned to select grains, and the rest of the steps were still at the beginner level.

While Mu You was engrossed in learning, suddenly there came a knock at the door. Turning his head, he saw Lin Xue standing at the entrance. She gestured at her wrist.

Mu You looked at his wristwatch and realized that it was already past four o’clock in the afternoon, and in a little more than half an hour, the gate would close.

"Granny, I should go now." Mu You told the old woman apologetically.

The old woman seemed to have anticipated this. She did not stop him and simply nodded with a smile, reminding him, "Remember to come home in time for dinner in the future."
