1o124 New Urban Farmers Chapter 169 First Update in Three Days

The days of waiting for Elder Yi to regain consciousness were agonizing. Zhang Guodong initially thought the "Hundred Herbs Rejuvenating Pill" wasn't quite right for him, but then realized he had been too anxious. Although Elder Yi didn't immediately regain consciousness, his complexion was gradually becoming rosy, and his breathing was becoming steady and much longer, indicating that he had passed through the most dangerous period.

He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He could only wait for the prayer...

It was three hours after taking the "Hundred Herbs Rejuvenating Pill".

"Elder Yi is recovering. It seems the pill is working. Xiao Hu, let's go out first!" Zhang Guodong wiped his sweat, thinking to himself that, judging from the current situation, the pill was working and was continuing to work. He couldn't be of much help anymore.

Xiao Hu wanted to stay, but Zhang Guodong said he couldn't disturb Yi Lao's rest and recovery, so he went out with him.

The sun outside was already setting in the afternoon.

Yi Xiangyun, Zhang Baoshun, and Xiaohu's mother waited anxiously in the courtyard. When Zhang Guodong and Xiaohu came out of the side room, there were many more people in the courtyard. They were villagers from Shiya Village, who remained solemn and silent.

"They're out!" Everyone perked up and looked at Zhang Guodong and Xiaohu.

Zhang Guodong looked exhausted, while Xiao Hu's face was flushed.

Yi Xiangyun hurriedly threw away her cigarette and walked anxiously to the front.

"Brother Zhang, how is my father?" Yi Xiangyun's voice trembled as she asked, afraid of hearing bad news.

Zhang Guodong could understand his feelings.

"Brother Yi, don't worry, Old Master Yi is recovering. It seems he has passed the critical period. As long as we don't disturb him too much in the coming days, he should be fully recovered!" Zhang Guodong said with a smile.

"Really?!" Yi Xiangyun, a man, was so excited that she burst into tears. Xiao Hu nodded vigorously beside her, his face flushed with excitement.

The crowd's low cheers were a sign of their joy.

Zhang Baoshun then addressed the crowd, saying, "Listen to Brother Zhang, everyone be quiet. Uncle Yi is recovering. We need a quiet environment, so please disperse!"

Zhang Baoshun was a very prestigious person, and as soon as he spoke, everyone dispersed on their own. The possibility that Old Master Yi might wake up was good news for everyone!

In an instant, only five people remained in the courtyard: Yi Xiangyun, Xiao Hu's mother, Zhang Baoshun, Zhang Guodong, and Xiao Hu.

"Brother Zhang, please sit down and tell us what's Uncle Yi's condition and when he'll wake up?" Zhang Baoshun asked eagerly, pulling Zhang Guodong to sit down on a bench in the courtyard.

Zhang Guodong was a little tired; he had been too nervous earlier, so he sat down without ceremony while everyone else stood.

“I gave Elder Yi a medicine that can be described as one of the most unique in the world. Judging from the changes in Elder Yi’s pulse, breathing, and complexion just now, the medicine has had a great effect. Elder Yi is recovering further. It’s just that I can’t say how long it will take for him to wake up,” Zhang Guodong said regretfully.

It's already quite remarkable to have achieved this much. After all, even if Zhang Guodong knew the recipe for the Hundred Herbs Rejuvenating Pill, he couldn't concoct or refine it because he didn't have those rare, thousand-year-old medicinal herbs, especially those of the "Nine Great Immortal Herbs of China."

Not to mention the "Millennial Rejuvenating Herb." Zhang Guodong had never even heard of it.

"Brother Zhang, thank you! My father has many medicinal herbs in his herb garden. If you need any, feel free to dig them up!" Yi Xiangyun said gratefully.

Zhang Guodong gave a wry smile and shook his head, saying, "Brother Yi, the three main ingredients in this prescription include a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, a thousand-year-old snow lotus, and a thousand-year-old rejuvenating herb. I have checked Elder Yi's medicinal herb garden, and there are many precious medicinal herbs, but there are no thousand-year-old snow lotuses or rejuvenating herbs, let alone any!"

He already has most of the medicinal herbs in Old Master Yi's herb garden. Unless Old Master Yi adds any new herbs.

"A thousand years?!" Not only was Yi Xiangyun surprised, but even Zhang Baoshun, who knew nothing about medicine, felt that the medicinal materials needed were extremely precious, and these might not even exist in the real world.

"By the way, Brother Yi, have you ever heard of the Rejuvenating Grass? If we have this herb, we might have a chance to concoct that medicine again in the future!" Zhang Guodong asked with a sudden thought.

Yi Xiangyun has lived in the mountains her whole life. Naturally, she has been influenced by Master Yi's knowledge of pharmacology and medicine. Perhaps he even knows about the Rejuvenating Herb.

"Rejuvenating Grass?" Yi Xiangyun asked, puzzled. Then she shook her head.

Zhang Guodong was a little disappointed. What exactly was this "Rejuvenating Grass"? Did it have any other names?

"Never mind if I don't know. I'm a bit tired. I'll go rest in Elder Yi's room. Xiao Hu, come with me. Oh, by the way, I was thinking of using Elder Yi's alchemy room. Is that alright?" Zhang Guodong said wearily as he stood up. This was weariness in his heart!

"Go ahead and use it, Xiao Hu. You take Uncle Zhang with you," Yi Xiangyun said hurriedly.

"It's better if you still call me Brother Zhang. Let's keep to ourselves, haha!" Zhang Guodong chuckled awkwardly, feeling very uncomfortable asking Xiao Hu to call him Uncle, since he wasn't much older than Xiao Hu.

“Xiangyun, you don’t need to go to the fields these days. I’ll help you irrigate your land. Uncle Yi needs someone to take care of the fields, so don’t worry! Also, Brother Zhang, why don’t you come to my house for dinner tonight? Tiezhu caught a rabbit. I heard that people outside the mountains love to eat wild game. You must come!” Zhang Baoshun said.

This person is just too honest and straightforward!

"Brother Baoshun, Brother Zhang, please stay at our house for dinner today. Don't leave yet, we brothers can have a few drinks tonight!" Yi Xiangyun said hurriedly.

During this period, everyone was downcast. Zhang Guodong's rescue gave everyone hope, and their mood gradually improved.

Speaking of drinking, Zhang Guodong slapped his forehead and realized that his large travel bag contained a lot of things.

“Brother Baoshun, I’ll call you that too. I brought a lot of gifts from outside the mountains this time. It’s afternoon now, so if you’re not busy, let’s sit down and chat!” Zhang Guodong said.

Then he picked up the large travel bag guarded by Dahei, Erhei, Daqing, and Erqing. The bag contained a hundred or two items, but Zhang Guodong handled it as if it were nothing.

Big Black, Two Black, Big Green, and Two Green also came over. Little Tiger wanted to touch them, but he became timid when he saw the look in their eyes.

When they entered the rocky cliff, Zhang Guodong sent Lao Qing and the others back to Taoyuan, while Dahei and the others remained outside.

"This must be the Tibetan prize! How majestic! It really looks like a lion!" As the others wept, they noticed the large-winged creatures again. Looking at them, one of them secretly wondered, "What about those two?"

Although Zhang Baoshun could recognize Zang Fen at a glance, Daqing and Erqing gave him a dangerous feeling, as if he were being watched by bloodthirsty beasts, giving him a somewhat creepy feeling.

They resemble wolfhounds, but their coat color is different; bluish-green fur is extremely rare and comes without any other colors. Furthermore, the large and small blue-green hues have long, pointed muzzles and slightly upturned eyes, making them appear more ferocious. They are quite different from regular dogs.

"Wolves?!" Zhang Baoshun suddenly stood up, his eyes wide with surprise, and took a few steps back.

Yi Xiangyun and Little Tiger's Mother, puzzled by Zhang Baoshun's strong reaction, glanced at Daqing and Erqing and asked, "Brother Baoshun, this isn't a wolf, is it? You can't keep wolves as pets, can you?"

Zhang Guodong was also shocked to see Zhang Baoshun's actions. Many people couldn't recognize Daqing and Erqing as wolves, but Zhang Baoshun recognized them at a glance.

"Brother Baoshun, Brother Yi, don't be afraid. They won't hurt you! Little Tiger, I brought a lot of things in from outside the mountains this time, let's share them now, hehe!" Zhang Guodong restrained Big Black and the others. Then he steered the conversation to the travel bags.

Zhang Baoshun glanced at Daqing and the others again, wondering if he had really mistaken them for someone else. But the way he looked at Zhang Guodong was very different; Zhang Guodong had become much more mysterious.

I brought two or three flashlights this time. Also, I brought several hundred pairs of chemical batteries. There's no electricity in the mountains, only kerosene lamps at night, so these flashlights, if used wisely, will be incredibly useful.

"Great stuff. I can go out tonight!" Zhang Baoshun said, holding the item with obvious delight.

"These chemical batteries need to be stored in a dry place. It's best to separate them and seal them tightly before taking them out to use!" Zhang Guodong explained. "Brother Baoshun, how many of these can you choose?"

The gifts were mainly for the Yi family, but since it was a coincidence that Zhang Anshun was a decent person, Zhang Guodong wasn't too stingy.

Cigarettes, alcohol, salt, soap, laundry detergent, a mirror, a lighter, a lighter refill pump, and also six waterproof electronic watches and several batteries. In the mountains, time is mainly determined by the sun and sky; with watches, timekeeping becomes much more accurate.

Xiangyun received a tracksuit and a pair of leather boots, while Xiaohu's mother received fabric hair accessories and such. After all, Zhang Guodong couldn't really choose what women needed. Buhu received two tracksuits and two pairs of sturdy sneakers, more suitable for hiking. He also received sweaters, underwear, and woolen pants.

In addition, Zhang Guodong also brought a lot of candy and toys.

Last time I visited the village, I saw that the children were very simple and lovely, so this time I brought them along and asked Xiaohu to distribute the food to them.

"Brother Zhang, the things outside the mountains are truly abundant. These things are very useful!" Zhang Baoshun, despite his advanced age, grinned broadly as he saw the things from outside.

He also received a considerable amount, especially several bottles of Moutai and two cartons of 20-year-old Zhonghua cigarettes from Zhang Guodong—truly fine liquor. Although the mountain village also had its own homemade rice wine and yellow wine, the taste was far inferior to baijiu. The cigarettes were high-quality cigarettes costing several hundred yuan a carton, much healthier than homemade ones.

Xiao Hu, clutching his tracksuit and sneakers, grinned foolishly. He'd probably never seen such beautiful clothes and shoes before. His mother, on the other hand, was more interested in the soap, laundry detergent, and mirror. Mountain village women are adept at managing daily life.

Like Zhang Baoshun, Yi Xiangyun was more interested in tobacco and alcohol than anything else.

After emptying most of the items, Zhang Guodong had only a few left and put them away. Since he couldn't take anything out of the Space Paradise, he simply used this method to get through the ordeal.

Zhang Guodong checked on Old Yi's condition that evening and put him on an IV drip. The IV bags and needles they'd brought back from outside the mountains, along with a lot of alcohol, came in handy this time. There were no IV bags left in the mountains; Old Yi had almost used up the ones he'd bought.

Zhang Guodong, Yi Xiangyun, and Zhang Baoshun were drinking. They finished two bottles of Moutai with peanuts, mixed rabbit meat, and even a whole old hen. Since Old Yi's incident, they hadn't been in such a good mood. So Yi Xiangyun and Zhang Baoshun got quite drunk. In the end, Zhang Guodong and Xiao Hu had no choice but to take Zhang Baoshun home.

Zhang Guodong and Xiaohu stayed in Yi Lao's courtyard at night, while Dahei and the others were taken back to Taoyuan by Zhang Guodong.

For the next two days, Elder Yi remained unconscious, but his complexion was rosy, his breathing was steady and strong, and his condition did not worsen; his life had been saved. It's just unknown when Elder Yi will regain consciousness.

While Elder Yi remained unconscious, Zhang Guodong took the opportunity to use Elder Yi's medicine furnace, spending all his time in the alchemy room without coming out. With Dahei and the other two guarding outside, he was generally undisturbed except during mealtimes.

On the third day, Zhang Guodong rubbed his messy hair, reluctantly putting away the last batch of pills and ending the alchemy session. He was running out of medicinal herbs! Otherwise, he would have liked to refine more pills.

Over the course of three days, he refined eighteen azure "Long Ox Pills" with a century-old black oyster as the main ingredient, fourteen of which were of superior quality and four of medium quality. When placed together, they were as green as jade.

Twenty-two pale yellow "Health-Strengthening Pills". Among them, twenty are of superior quality and two are of medium quality! The main ingredients are ginseng and isatis indigotica.

Bright red "Blood-Nourishing Pills". Twenty-six pills. Top grade: twenty-four pills; Medium grade: two pills! Main ingredient: Dong'e donkey-hide gelatin.

The Water Blue "Qi-Boosting Pill" contains 15 pills of superior quality, 10 of medium quality, and 5 of medium quality. The main ingredients are ginseng and red dates. High-quality ginseng is not required.

The product contains eleven high-grade Bletilla striata pills and two mid-grade pills. The main ingredient is Bletilla striata.

Bright green "Snake Spirit Pills". Fourteen high-grade pills, thirteen medium-grade pills! Snake Spirit Grass is the main ingredient.

The reason there were basically no low-grade pills was that Zhang Guodong moved Elder Yi's medicine furnace to the Peach Blossom Paradise Hundredfold Zone. The extremely high pill-forming rate and sufficient spiritual energy for pill condensation improved the quality of the refined pills. It's just a pity that currently only these six types of pills can be refined; many other pills lack the necessary ingredients to be refined.

"Brother Zhang, Brother Zhang, come out quickly!" Just then, the sound of running footsteps and the roars of Big Black and the others came from outside. It was Little Tiger calling him.
