Due to their concerns, Shanyang and the others calmed down after the initial shock and excitement.
Shanyang even said, "Lord Yusuo, this is not beneficial to your prestige. We can't do this."
"Yes, Lord Yusuo, allowing us to stay in the village is already your kindness. If we become those doctors, it will violate the village's rules."
Yusuo didn't immediately interrupt their words. After listening to their various concerns, he said, "I understand your point of view. However, this medical facility must be established. Not only you, but in the future, I will also cultivate more talents in the medical field to become doctors."
Shanyang and the others were surprised. Cultivate more people?
Is Yusuo crazy?
Medical knowledge is something only witch doctors can master. Cultivating more people means dispersing the power originally belonging to witch doctors. This doesn't seem like a good thing.
"Lord Yusuo, I know you are kind and benevolent, but doing this is extremely disadvantageous for you." Shanyang couldn't help but advise Yusuo again to dispel such thoughts.
Yusuo: "Hold on, listen to me first."
He continued, "After the medical facility is established, I plan to build a Mountain God Temple on the mountaintop behind the village. In the future, my identity will transition from a witch doctor to the chief witch of the temple."
"After becoming the chief witch, I will gradually hand over the responsibility of treating the villagers to the doctors in the medical facility. Unless it's severe injuries and difficult cases, I won't personally intervene in medical treatments."
"Doing this is not about dispersing prestige; it's precisely for future considerations."
Shanyang and the others listened to Yusuo's words, waves of surprise followed by waves of realization in their hearts.
Once a village has a temple, its significance differs from an ordinary village.
Not to mention such a special identity as the chief witch.
This was an open and ambitious plan.
Shanyang excitedly clenched his fists. There was no wooden staff around this time, so he could only squeeze his palm.
In the vague understanding, he also grasped Yusuo's intention.
Sure enough, Yusuo continued, "In the future, Yusuo Village will grow larger and the population will increase. At that time, just a few witch doctors won't meet the needs of the entire Yusuo Village."
"I can't train a large number of witch doctors to compete for my job. Therefore, I can only cultivate pure doctors to meet this demand."
"In this way, can you understand?"
Yusuo's words were already clear. What more could Shanyang and the others not understand?Shanyang said, "Lord Yu Su, we understand your intentions. It was my short-sightedness earlier. Since that's the case, I support your decision."
Several other witch doctors also agreed. Yu Su smiled, "Good, now I need several of you to assist in establishing the medical facility."
They all agreed.
Soon, the villagers learned about Yu Su's plan to establish a medical facility. However, they didn't know Yu Su's deeper intentions yet. Yu Su hadn't officially transformed Shanyang and others from witch doctors to physicians. He simply told everyone that they could visit the medical facility for health issues.
This gradual approach aimed to make the villagers accept the idea. Before establishing the medical facility, Yu Su provided the first phase of training to Shanyang and others. He shared advanced medical knowledge step by step, starting from basic medical concepts.
This was the first time Shanyang and others encountered such medical knowledge, and they were astonished. Yu Su, considering their enthusiasm, continued with more training.
Yu Li was allowed to join the learning along with two village girls, Yu Xiang and Yu Jiu, who showed talent in identifying herbs. They were part of the gathering team, and Yu Su noticed their exceptional skills.
Yu Su warned them, "If you can't surpass Shanyang and others and fail my assessment, you'll have to leave the medical facility." Motivated, they focused on learning.
Yu Su's schedule included teaching children in the morning, instructing Shanyang and others at the medical facility, and managing village affairs. Occasionally, he discussed village matters and the situation with the barbarians with Qingze.
Concerning the recent calmness among the barbarians, Yu Su felt puzzled. Qingze, however, seemed indifferent and implied it had no time for such matters.
Yu Su sighed, "Mountain God, you're truly a homebody." Qingze, aware of the term, expressed its displeasure.
Yu Su asked about the northern region of the barbarian forest, but Qingze revealed it was a vast wilderness unsuitable for human habitation.
In the barbarian forest, the Beast God's temple, the chief witch doctor, after a divination, warned tribal leaders not to harass Yu Village near the northern foot of Deer God Mountain. They were not to seize their food either.
Although reluctant, the tribal leaders dared not defy the Beast God's will and left the temple. The chief witch doctor pondered, sensing complexity in the situation but decided to postpone investigation due to increased disturbances from northern monsters.
