“I have to bring water to try my parents.”
He filled the bottle with ancient springs, leaving a little water in the kettle.
“What should I do with the rest of the water? How about watering medicinal plants?” Wang Yao thought hard.
He poured water into the water sprinkler tank. Then, he brought the bucket from earlier to the dam on the low-lying hillside to mix with the river water. He sprayed the outside of the medicinal plant.
He hoped it would be effective! Among the herbs in the field is a plant called sealwort. It is called sealwort because it can absorb the most nutrients from the soil and air. Its roots grow casually like soft ginger and the leaves are large and pointed at the ends. The leaves also resemble bamboo leaves and the flowers are white. The stem is straight and upright—both the root and the stem can be used as medicine.
Sealwort is an herbal remedy that can be grown anywhere. The sealwort planting method has been refined and the market demand is high, so the price continues to increase. Therefore, Wang Yao chose this herb as a test subject.
Actually, sealwort is easy to plant, but it is only easy for those who know how to do it. Some can grow 20 thousand, at least, an acre of land in just two or three years. Wang Yao, however, had lost over 30 thousand sealworts on several acres of land in the past three years.
The amount of money lost will be much higher if the cost of the hill contractor is included.
“I hope I will lose less money this year,” murmured while watering.
New mission accepted. Check the taskbar for details.
At this moment, a mechanical voice spoke again.
“Mission, what mission?”
Wang Yao clicked on the system after seeing that he had one mission on the taskbar.
Mission: Harvesting 3000 kilograms of fresh sealwort.
Gift: One pack of herbaceous seeds.
Punishment for failure: An ancient spring kettle will be taken.
“3000 kilograms? How is it possible!?" Wang Yao was stunned at that moment.
According to the information he knew, the average productivity of dried seaweed per hectare is 300-400 kilograms. Productivity can be higher if there are more than 400 kilograms, however, 4 kilograms of fresh sealwort can only produce 1 kilogram of dry sealwort. According to the percentage, if the amount of fresh sealwort exceeds 2000 kilograms then it is considered very fruitful. This can only be done by a good master and land. There was no way Wang Yao could produce 300 kilograms of dried sealwort on a barren slope like Nanshan hill. That's not possible!
Wang Yao walked around the herb field after he finished watering it. He got rid of some weeds and tested the soil moisture, then he returned to his room to record the information. Using his phone, Wang Yao tried to find online the method of harvesting sealworts in a short period of time.
It is late August; the harvest season for sealwort is approaching. Wang Yao thought it was impossible to be able to produce a potion worth 3000 kilograms in such a short amount of time.
He spent half a day searching for solutions but did not find any worthy ones. Answers on the internet suggest rational fertilization and reinforcement of management of herbal fields. There is even one unbelievable answer that says that special hormones can cause plants to grow quickly in a short period of time or even in a short period of time.
“No solution!”
Wang Yao got a notification that his phone battery was running low and stopped looking. He then scratched his head helplessly.
“I have to keep thinking of ways!”
He marked out some reliable methods and then packed his things. He prepared to leave the hill and lock the door. He looked into the fields and saw something spectacular.
Huh huh? Why did the leaves suddenly turn green!
Wang Yao went to the herb field and surprisingly, he found that the leaves of the sealwort plant looked much greener.

“Am I going crazy?”
“San Xian, you should pay attention to the field of herbs,” Wang Yao said to the dog.
Woof, woof! San Xian replied as if he could understand his point.
“Bu, the sealwort I planted is almost entering the harvest season, so it's a pity to hand it over now. I'll talk to Uncle Li about the shrinkage of the hill when I finish the harvest in the fall, ” said Wang Yao.
He was unwilling to give up his dream and he was even more determined to continue growing herbs after receiving the mysterious apothecary system.
He wanted to be healthier and stronger than before. As for his parents, he had to buy time. He believed that his parents would change their minds when he started to benefit from medicinal herbs.
“Oke, don't forget.”
Zhang Xiuying agreed with his son so he did not push him any further.
“Understanding. Ah, Mom, you should try this water I brought. Drink,” said Wang Yao.
“Only water, what's special?”
“Sweet and better than the springs on the hill. Just try some.”
He put down the bottle filled with ancient springs when he finished speaking. Wang Yao returned to his room and checked his herb documents. He was still looking for ways to increase his herb harvest time quickly.
Zhang Xiuying started to feel a little thirsty as he was busy in the kitchen, so he poured water for himself from the bottle his son had left behind. He drank it and found that the water was sweet. It was delicious, so he decided to drink again.
“This water is really sweet.”
Wang Yao's father, Wang Feng Hua, entered from the outside for a while. Zhang Xiuying finished cooking and she, her husband, daughter and son all ate together.
“Drink, your son brought this water.”
Zhang Xiuying poured a cup of water for her husband. Wang Feng Hua, who was tanned, did not say anything as he picked up the cup in his hand. The spring water was sweet and clear and she felt refreshed after drinking it. His fatigue working all day had diminished.
“Freshing.”
It was only one word, but Wang Yao knew that one word was rare because her father was not a talkative person.
“Yao, where did you get this water?” Zhang Xiuying asked.
“A classmate gave it to me. He said that it is pollution-free water.”
Wang Yao had thought of a different explanation. He couldn't tell his parents that he got a magical pharmaceutical system that rewarded him with a mysterious ancient spring kettle.
“Dad, Mom, I'll go to town tomorrow.”
“Yes. You should get there early. ” Zhang Xiuying is happy to hear it.
“OK,” Wang Fenghua replied while drinking all the water in the cup.
Wang Yao did not go to the city to find work, but rather to visit a nearby family who also grew herbs. He wanted to learn from their experience and see if they had a good planting method or not. He will also try to find biofertilizers to encourage sealwort growth. Of course, he would not say that he went to learn to plant plants because his parents would not be happy.
Just then, there was a squeaking sound from the outside door. There was a girl when the door opened. She is very beautiful—she seems to be in her late twenties and has a slender body.
“Dad, Mom, Yao, are you okay?” he asked as he rushed into the room.
“Kak, why are you here?”
This woman was Wang Yao's sister, Wang Ru. She was one year older than him; she worked for the agricultural bureau in the city.
