An hour later, when Otsutsuki Muyan came back from shopping for groceries, he walked into the living room and saw Bai Zheng sitting cross-legged in the living room, with the thick medical book in front of him, and the medicinal materials given to him were placed right next to him.
No one moved.
"Huh? Bai, haven't you found the location of these medicinal materials in the book?"
Bai raised his head and looked at Otsutsuki Yan, his face full of self-blame for failing to complete the task: "I'm sorry, Mr. Yan, I... know only a limited number of words."
Yan reached out and touched his chin, slightly surprised.
The gentle temperament exuding from Bai's body made Yan completely ignore the fact that he was illiterate. Although it seemed a little strange. But if you think about it carefully, Bai's family had been broken up since he was three years old, and he began to wander. How could he still be recognized if he didn't even have enough to eat?
Character?
"This is my mistake. I neglected this point."
"This is not your fault. In fact, when I was three years old, my mother began to teach me how to read, but... she didn't teach me much yet."
Mentioning his mother, Bai's face did not show much sadness. Instead, he felt more disappointed because he was illiterate and could not complete the tasks assigned to him.
"Don't blame yourself. This is not a fate you can decide. I will teach you how to read after dinner. Get up at eight o'clock tomorrow morning and I will teach you physical training."
Bai nodded vigorously and replied seriously: "Master Yan, I will definitely do it well."
Otsutsuki Yan squatted down, took out two dried medicinal herbs from the bag containing the medicinal herbs, weighed the weights and handed them to Shiro together. Then he unfolded the Huangquan Hirazaka and took out a medicine pounding tube and a stone pestle.
"Crush these two medicinal herbs into powder and mix them together."
"yes."
After explaining, he took out two more medicinal plants from the bag and walked into the kitchen.
"Well...lotus seeds, old hen, hawthorn...just make more soup to avoid trouble..."
The dinner was mediocre and delicious, but not delicious. After all, Otsutsuki's cooking skills were only about that.
After finishing dinner, Yan held his chin and thought for a while, and with Bai's unconcerned eyes, he took out a copy of "Chef Mastery: From Entry to Burial" from Huangquan Hirazaka.
"This is the only book for literacy. In addition to literacy, remember to study the above things well, strive to become an excellent chef, and then cook for me!"
"good!"
When Bai heard that Otsutsuki needed him to cook, he immediately found his first job as a tool. When he felt that he was needed, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
At this moment, he is determined to become the best chef in the ninja world!
Otsutsuki turned the book to the first page, um...let me see what the first sentence is.
"Good food is food that shines."
???
Otsutsuki Muyan raised his head and stared at the air for a moment, then shook his head and murmured, "It's so weird, look at it again."

A few days passed, and Bai was diligently completing his daily physical exercises and reading and literacy. In addition to these, Bai was still trying to start cooking.
When Shiro started learning to chop vegetables, Otsutsuki even unconsciously took out the swordsmanship that Sakumo had taught him before.
Bai's talent is quite high and he can always master the key points of swordsmanship quickly.
Moreover, my body is recovering very well, and the amount of training is increasing every day, but I still have enough energy to practice swordsmanship with a kitchen knife during the day and night, and I am also quite energetic when I am learning to read after dinner.
A month later, Otsutsuki looked at the much stronger Bai Bai in the yard with some surprise, and said: "Your body has completely returned to normal. In the final analysis, it is because your foundation is very good, even after experiencing a
Years of wandering have still not caused much harm to the body."
"Maybe it's the pills my mother fed me when I was little. All that's left in my memory is the bitter taste."
"Do you still remember what your mother looked like?"
Bai shook his head and said calmly: "I can't remember clearly."
"Then, extract the chakra before the rent expires. Don't let me waste money on renewing the rent."
"yes!"
"Hmm... let me think about which method of refining chakra I should teach you." Otsutsuki held his chin and fell into deep thought.
There are many methods for refining chakra. Although they are generally the same, different versions of the methods will be developed by different families.
I can't say who is more advanced than who, I can only say who is more suitable.
The Hyuga clan's method of refining chakra is not suitable for the Haku, Uchiha, Uzumaki clan?
None of them seem appropriate.
Forget it, teach him the general version of Konoha Ninja School first, and then go to Kirigakure Village by yourself, learn the ice escape ninjutsu, and at the same time learn the Chakra extraction method of the Minazuki clan.
"I Have a Picture Book of Ghosts and Gods"
"Bai, let me start with the basics."
"Chakra is derived from the 130 trillion cells in the human body... It is the basis for ninjas to use various ninjutsu... Abba Abba..."
"And refining chakra requires...Abba Abba..."
Bai followed Otsutsuki Yan's instructions and began to try to extract chakra for the first time. Maybe it was because of his excellent talent, or maybe it was the body-nurturing medicines his mother brought from the family that laid a good foundation for him.
All in all, Bai's studies went quite smoothly.
After Bai extracted a trace of chakra from his body, Otsutsuki continued to talk about the seals.
"Zi: Thumbs overlap, right thumb on top..."
Bai followed the movements demonstrated by Otsutsuki Yan and made a "zi's seal" like a gourd.
Otsutsuki Muyan nodded and said: "Yes, the movements are very standard. Next are Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Ji, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, Hai."
Every time he taught a seal, he would clearly explain the precautions while demonstrating it. After Bai had learned all the seals, Otsutsuki began to ask him to practice forming seals.
Do it once, go backwards, and then do it again out of order.
Two days later, Bai was able to master the seals proficiently. Three seals per second was no problem, but this daily training still did not stop.
Then Yan took Bai to clean up the traces of his life, found the landlord and got back the deposit, and then left the capital of the Kingdom of Water with Bai.
Bai followed Otsutsuki Muyan quietly, saying nothing or asking anything.
No matter where the destination is, as long as it is by Master Yan's side, it is enough.
PS: Some readers have reported that, let me explain. I think that when Bai faced Otsutsuki Yan after the mission failed, he would not have the emotion of "feeling useless and worrying about being abandoned".
To be precise, Bai believes that he is a tool, and the meaning of his existence is only that he is needed. If a person no longer needs a certain tool, it is normal to throw it away.
