"Guangbai is willing to give his life for his master's cause!" Xie Guangbai respectfully bowed to Xu Jinhuan and said.

Xu Jinhuan smiled and nodded, "Okay, there's something we need you for now. We'll be leaving tomorrow, and we'll need you to prepare some herbs for epidemic prevention."

It's said that a major disaster is often followed by a major epidemic. For the safety of everyone in the team, we still need to make more preparations.

Xie Guangbai said with a serious face, "Okay, I have the prescription for the drink here and the prescription I carry with me. I will write down the ones with good effects, and then we will use both methods together."

After saying that, he picked up the pen on the table and began to write the prescription.

A short while later, Xie Guangbai wrote out several prescriptions and then respectfully handed them to him.

Xu Jinhuan took it, looked at it with satisfaction, and then said to Xie Guangbai, "There are quite a lot of medicinal herbs needed. I'll take you to where the herbs are stored, and you can choose them yourself."

Originally, the medicine was only prepared for Xu Youyou, and Xu Jinhuan could prepare it himself. But this time it's medicine for hundreds of people, so let Xie Guangbai prepare it himself.

After Xu Jinhuan finished speaking, he got up and led Xie Guangbai to an empty room. "Wait outside for a moment, I'll go in and take a look."

He said he was going to take a look, but in reality he was taking out the medicinal herbs he had moved from the Long residence the night before from his spatial storage.

Soon, medicine cabinets were neatly arranged in the room, and Xu Jinhuan thoughtfully provided tables and chairs, as well as several medical books.

After all, preparing traditional Chinese medicine for hundreds of people is not something that can be done easily.

If we scare away the doctor we finally managed to persuade, it won't be easy to find another suitable one.

After doing all this, Xu Jinhuan opened the door with a smile and said to Xie Guangbai, "Come and see if these medicinal herbs are enough. If not, I will send someone to buy more."

Xie Guangbai had thought that his master's previous statement that there would be enough medicinal herbs was just polite talk, but now, looking at the rows of medicine cabinets in the room, his eyes lit up with excitement.

"Beijing ink, angelica, sandalwood, dried tangerine peel, coriander..."

Xie Guangbai read out the names of the medicinal herbs one by one. After looking at each herb, he said with a bright smile, "Master, there's no need to buy any more. These are enough."

Xu Jinhuan nodded, "Can you handle these hundreds of portions by yourself? Do you need me to find someone to help you?"

Xie Guangbai thought for a moment and said, "There aren't many portions, but we're in a bit of a rush. If there are any pharmacists here, please ask them to come over."

Xu Jinhuan smiled and agreed, "Okay, I'll go ask. If they have any, I'll have someone bring them over. You can go ahead and do your work."

After saying that, Xu Jinhuan left.

She entrusted the task of finding someone knowledgeable in pharmacology to Wang Manshan, and then became a hands-off manager.

After all, if Xu Jinhuan had to personally handle such trivial matters, what kind of boss would she be? She should just retire from the business and become a housekeeper.

After giving instructions to her men, Xu Jinhuan left the mountain stronghold. With her departure scheduled for tomorrow and the talent still unaccounted for, how could she be at ease?

As Xu Jinhuan thought this, she prepared to use her lightness skill to fly to the cave where the guards were. However, before she could take a few steps, she sensed the presence of other people around her.

Is anyone here?

Xu Jinhuan pretended not to notice and quietly walked forward, then slowly circled around to the back of the group.

Seriously? Is the protagonist's halo that useful? She's only collected three-eighths of them, and she's already getting whatever she wants?

Xu Jinhuan looked on with excitement at the guards who were intently watching the doorway.

"Smack!"

"Oh dear, there are so many mosquitoes in the grass after the rain. We've been squatting here for half a day, and my arms, legs, and face are covered in mosquito bites. If I keep sucking like this, I'm going to run out of blood."

The fourth guard looked helplessly at the blood-soaked mosquito corpse in his palm and said with a sigh.

"Keep your voice down, or you'll attract the patrols. Otherwise, you might end up fighting with them, which would go against the old immortal's words," An Er said, giving him a disapproving look.

A somewhat clever bodyguard took the opportunity to flatter An Er.

"You have to admit our second senior brother is clever. He actually came up with a way to complete the mission without offending the old immortal."

An Er felt pleased by the flattery and thought to himself that there was finally someone among these guards who understood him!

The guards beside him glanced disdainfully at the sycophant, but said nothing. Upon hearing the words "Old Immortal," they immediately shut their mouths.

Even if mosquitoes suck his blood right in front of him, he doesn't care anymore.

Of course he didn't care, because that mosquito wasn't sucking his blood, but An Er's. Hahaha, serves him right, let him pretend!

Meanwhile, An Er, caught off guard, was bitten on the forehead by the poisonous mosquito. In order to set an example for his subordinates and to save face, he resisted the urge to kill the mosquito.

Some of the other guards didn't even notice what was happening, while others saw that An Er himself hadn't moved, so they didn't interfere.

So, after the poisonous mosquito had its fill, it flew away, belly bulging, right under everyone's noses.

An Er's forehead, which had been bitten by poisonous mosquitoes, began to swell slowly. An Er felt that his forehead was getting itchier and itchier. Finally, the itching became so bad that he couldn't help but reach out and scratch it.

But the more he scratched, the itchier it became, and the more it itched, the more he scratched, until the bump on his forehead grew bigger and bigger, comparable to the God of Longevity.

"Second...Second Senior Brother?!"

The fourth guard scratched his thigh through his clothes, but when he turned around and saw the second guard, he was startled by the huge bump on his head and couldn't help but shout out.

An Er frowned upon hearing the sound, but felt a headache coming on. However, he didn't bother to check and started criticizing An Wei Si Yi.

"I've told you several times to keep quiet. I knew I shouldn't have brought you out. If the mission fails because of you, you can expect the master's punishment."

After saying these words, An Er thought he had touched his forehead discreetly, but the strange sensation made him pause in surprise.

What's going on here? Where did his round forehead go?

The surrounding guards looked at An Er's large forehead, which resembled that of the God of Longevity, and his blank expression, and couldn't help but suppress the corners of their mouths from turning up.

I can't laugh, I don't want to laugh, because if I laugh, An Er will definitely make things difficult for me.

After using his invisibility ability on himself, Xu Jinhuan walked over with a smile, "Wow, that big forehead looks like it'll last a long life!"

Upon hearing this exclamation, the guards' suppressed laughter burst forth uncontrollably, causing them to burst into laughter as well.

"Haha, great minds think alike! I knew it looked like the God of Longevity!"

"That was definitely a poisonous mosquito. One bite is worth dozens of bites. Poor Pigsy, hahahahaha."

Seeing everyone laughing, An Er's face grew increasingly gloomy, and he was about to lose his temper.

Suddenly someone asked in surprise, "Who just said 'longevity'?"
