After Wang Yao planted the seeds, he took out the Magic Potion Catalog and started reading the traits of Shanjing and Guiyuan. Both plants need to grow in areas with lots of glowing clouds. There's not much he can do about this. He could only water them with ancient springs.
The seed he planted sprouted on the third day.
Three days later, Guo Sirou and He Qisheng came to the hill again.
They're so fast! thought Wang Yao as he descended from the top of the hill. Just now, he was practicing deep breathing when he heard San Xian barking in the distance. Then he saw two people coming towards his cottage. He had to finish his breathing exercises early to meet them.
“How is everything? Do you have a way to cure my grandfather?” guo Sirou asked as soon as she saw Wang Yao.
“Not in such a short time. But if you can wait for a month, there might be a way to heal your grandfather,” Wang Yao said.
“One month?!” Guo Sirou frowned. He knew how sick his grandfather was. He's been living on loan. If he did not have a great doctor due to his social status treating him, he would not last even for one more day.
“One month is a bit too long. Is there anything I can do to help? As long as I can provide it!” guo Sirou. He was unwilling to give up because it was already very difficult to hope that his grandfather could be cured.
"Sorry," Wang Yao shook her head. In fact, he could not even guarantee that he would be able to make Regather Soup within a month.
“I think one month is fine!” He Qisheng said after some deep thought.
"Uncle Him?" Guo Sirou looked at He Qisheng in surprise.
“Nona, your grandfather should be able to last another month with the help of a doctor,” He Qisheng said.
“Good. By the way, may I ask Ms. Guo prepare the potion for me?” Wang Yao gave Guo Sirou the list of herbs needed to make the Regather Soup. Guo Sirou took it without reading it and handed it to He Qisheng.
“How much do you want?” ask He Qisheng.
“I need enough herbs to make at least three doses of Regather Soup. And preferably wild plants, ” said Wang Yao. He could get all the herbs except for Shanjing and Guiyuan himself, but the quality of the herbs in Lianshan was not very good.
“OK, we will prepare the potion for you in three days,” said Guo Sirou.
“Good,” said Wang Yao.
Guo Sirou and He Qisheng left without lingering.
“For what does he need this herb?” ask Guo Sirou.
“Creating formula” says He Qisheng. When he took over the list, he began to think about what the formula was. But there was no formula he could think of that could cure Guo Sirou's grandfather. Anyway, she's very sick.
“Can I ask you to include all herbs in the list?” ask Guo Sirou.
“No problem!” he Qisheng.
The two of them started rolling the ball while Wang Yao continued her daily routine—worked in the herb fields and practiced her breathing.
He Qisheng brought all the herbs on the list after two days.
“This is the herb you requested,” He Qisheng said.
“Thank you.” Wang Yao was surprised by his efficiency.
“What formula will you make?” he Qisheng asked out of curiosity.
“Get Soup again,” said Wang Yao. He did not intend to hide what he had planned.
“Gather Soup? Why?" he Qisheng asked in surprise. Since his name was so common, he knew at least 10 different Regather Soups in different ways to make them.
“Strengthen bones and consolidate body,” said Wang Yao calmly.
“Just like that? Very simple!" He Qisheng was surprised.
“Ya,” said Wang Yao.
It's not that simple. Those words sound ordinary and simple.
“Healthy heart and calm nerves” is just a short sentence, but Anshensan healed her aunt and Xu Jiahui, both suffering from chronic and recurring diseases. There is only one licorice root in Anshensan but two in Regather Soup, so the effect of Regather Soup is not yet known.
“Well, I won't bother you anymore. See you for now,” said He Qisheng.
Wang Yao stared at He Qisheng's back as he left the cottage.
Collect Soup? He Qisheng was still thinking about this formula as he went down the hill.
On the way home, a car came to the village. The car looks regular—it's a Volkswagen Passat.
What's?! He Qisheng was surprised to see the car because his license plate looked familiar.
A middle-aged man got out of the car. He is medium tall and in his 40s, but he looks younger. He had a box that looked good. The man was Tian Tuyuan, who had visited Wang Yao several times before.
“Qisheng?” tian Tuyuan.
“Tuyuan? Is that you? he Qisheng. “Why are you here ?”;
They have known each other for a long time.
“I came here to find someone,” said Tian Tuyuan.
“Is Wang Yao the one you are looking for?”
“Ya,” says Tian Tuyuan. He did not try to hide it from He Qisheng. After all, Wang Yao was the only person living on Nanshan Hill.
“Did you also come see him?” tian Tuyuan.
“Ya,” says He Qisheng.
“A long time ago we did not meet. Do you have time to have coffee with me?” tian Tuyuan.
“Yes, I'll wait for you to call me,” He Qisheng said.
They both said goodbye to each other. One goes up the hill and the other goes down the hill.
Wang Yao was reading Natural Classics when he heard the dog bark again. He knew someone else was coming to see him.
After a while, Tian Tuyuan walked into the herb field with a box that looked good in his hand.
“Hai, Mr. Wang, I hope I don't bother you,” Tian Tuyuan said.
“Of course not, please come in,” said Wang Yao.
“I just went to Qimen City a few days ago and I brought you tea for you to taste,” Tian Tuyuan said. He placed the box on the table inside Wang Yao's cottage.
“Alright, thank you,” Wang Yao received it after hesitating.
Actually, he didn't know much about tea. But he had heard of Qimen black tea before which had a reputation as the "Queen of tea". He believed that the tea must be amazing.
“Sama-sama. Your tea is actually better,” Tian Tuyuan said.
Wang Yao simply smiled.
“Is the patient better?” asked Wang Yao.
“He's much better now. Thank you,” said Tian Tuyuan.
Tian Tuyuan went to visit the patient after he brought him the second potion. The patient was much better and he could even speak thanks to Wang Yao. But when he asked Tian Tuyuan to bring him more stew, Tian Tuyuan did not directly say yes. He knew Wang Yao was a capable young man and what kind of person his patients were. He did not want to bring trouble to Wang Yao.
Some people are not easy to meet because they live far away, while others live nearby and are able to. He knows exactly who is more important to him.
Tian Tuyuan did not stay for long. He left the cottage after speaking briefly with Wang Yao.
