Chapter 68 Chapter 1 Herbal Medicine Lesson

The second period on Wednesday morning and the first period in the afternoon were both herbal medicine classes, which made Yang Tian complain. Why did he split a big class into two small classes? How troublesome it was? But after thinking about it, it was not a big deal. After all, herbal medicine was his family's craft.

When a group of friends passed through greenhouse No. 3 and were about to go to greenhouse No. 1 for class, the familiar mandrake, jumping toadstools, biting cabbage in the medicinal field they passed by... actually made Yang Tian's heart surge with long-lost nostalgia.

He was stunned. It had only been a few days. Why was he so emotional? Was he homesick? The more he thought about it, the more Yang Tian lingered in the greenhouse.

However, he was surprised to see a medicinal field in the distance.

In the medicinal field, a dark green plant had several leaves turning yellow. After seeing the situation clearly, Yang Tian hurried over.

After seeing his reaction, Hermione and other friends hurried forward to see what was going on.

Yang Tian raised his hand to stop everyone behind him and said, "Everyone stay away. This is a poisonous tentacle. It looks gentle, but it is actually a thorny green plant. Its vines can move and will try to grab nearby living prey. The young branches of the poisonous tentacle will secrete venom, and its thorns are also highly toxic. Being bitten by a poisonous tentacle can be fatal."

Upon hearing this, the friends were so scared that they stepped back one after another; Hermione even hurried forward and tried to pull Yang Tian away.

Yang Tian calmly took out a pair of dragon-skin gloves from his white jade ring and put them on. He gave Hermione a reassuring look and said, "Didn't I tell you? I have been dealing with these herbs since I was a child. Do you see these withered yellow leaves? They should have been eaten by Banjul bean worms."

"This bean worm usually hides deep in the soil under the rhizome and only comes out when looking for food. Of course, before catching these troublesome little guys, you have to make the poisonous tentacles obey you."

As Yang Tian spoke, he had already extended his left index finger with the dragon leather glove on it. After the dark green poisonous tentacles sensed the approach of a foreign object, they quickly began to coil like an octopus and soon completely wrapped around his index finger.

Seeing that the time was right, Yang Tian immediately opened his palm and gently grasped the entire poisonous tentacle in his hand. His movements were extremely smooth, obviously to prevent the poisonous tentacle from being injured.

He quickly picked up a wooden stick with his other hand and began to search in the soil around the poisonous tentacle.

After a moment, Yang Tian's eyes lit up. He inserted the wooden stick half an inch deeper into the soil and waited quietly.

About 20 seconds later, he pulled out the stick, only to find that 3 or 4 bean worms as thick as thumbs had come out of it.

Yang Tian carefully released the poisonous tentacles and placed the Banjul bean worms into a transparent container.

Next, Yang Tian carefully used a knife to cut off the already yellow leaves on the poisonous tentacles, and applied a layer of the Free family's special protective potion. This was considered a complete success.

The whole process lasted for 5 minutes. All the young wizards present dared not breathe, for fear that any loud noise would affect Yang Tian's operation.

Seeing that the poisonous tentacles had regained their vitality, Yang Tian stepped back one meter with relief and took off his dragon leather gloves.

But at this moment, a burst of extremely loud applause came from behind the crowd.

Everyone looked back and saw a short, fat, old witch with messy hair walking towards them, clapping her hands.

Although she was wearing a dirty wheat-colored wizard robe full of patches and mud spots, her generous temperament still made the little wizards feel good about her.

Seeing everyone's attention focused on her, the old witch did not stop clapping. Instead, she clapped her hands and said, "Textbook-level precise handling methods, rich practical experience, and..."

As she spoke, the old witch sniffed carefully around the poisonous tentacles before continuing, "There is also a protective potion unique to the Free family. Are you a child of the Free family?"

Yang Tian replied with a smile on his face, "Yes, Professor Sprout, Sophie Foley is my mother and Rosalind Foley is my grandmother. They often mentioned you to me."

Hearing Yang Tian's answer, Professor Sprout said even happier: "So it's you, little guy. Your grandmother mentioned you in the letter. Sophie is my best student and Rosalind is my best friend. There is no doubt that they have successors."

After a pause, the professor continued, "If you like to take care of herbs, you can come to the greenhouse often. After all, I lack an experienced helper. Now, follow me to Greenhouse No. 1, after all, our class is about to start."

When Yang Tian and his friends surrounded Professor Sprout and walked into Greenhouse No. 1, it was time for the Herbology class.

The Herbology class is still taught by the Slytherin snakes and the Ravenclaw eagles.

There are no seats in the greenhouse, so the little wizards have to stand during class, or they can sit on the floor if they don't mind.

Of course, Yang Tian was an exception. He sat cross-legged on his somersault cloud, feeling extremely comfortable.

"Hello, young wizards! I am your Herbology professor, Pomona Sprout. The plant we are going to study today is called Dictamni. Can anyone give a brief introduction to Dictamni?"

Professor Sprout only gave a brief opening statement and then went straight to the point and started teaching.

The little eagles naturally raised their hands one after another, but as for the little snakes, only a small half of them raised their hands.

Professor Sprout pointed a finger at Daphne and said, "You answer."

Daphne raised her head proudly and said, "Dittany is a plant with magical properties. It can be used to make potions, such as Dittany essence. In addition, Dittany itself has a strong healing effect. Direct use of this plant can also help heal shallow wounds."

"By the way, Dictamni essence is a therapeutic drug extracted from the Dictamni plant. It can almost instantly heal cuts, lacerations and other injuries. If used promptly, it may not even leave scars." Daphne thought for a moment and added.

"That's a good answer, Miss Greengrass, +5 points to Slytherin. Does anyone have anything to add?" Professor Sprout continued to ask gently.

This time Hermione was the only one who raised her hand, and Professor Sprout nodded for her to add.

Hermione immediately replied, "A mixture of distilled water and silver powder can be used to treat werewolf bites."

"Very good, Miss Granger, +5 points to Ravenclaw," Professor Sprout said appreciatively.

Hermione was not too excited about getting extra points. Instead, she looked at Yang Tian with a complicated expression.

She clearly remembered that once when Zhang Qiu asked Yang Tian questions, he asked a series of questions related to werewolves. She still remembered Yang Tian's answers at that time!

He clearly knew the answer but didn't raise his hand. Was he trying to leave the opportunity for himself? This made the proud Hermione a little at a loss...
