"If the High Priest believes me, she can use dodder seed, mulberry mistletoe, teasel root, and donkey-hide gelatin to decoct and treat her. This can invigorate qi, nourish blood, and stabilize the pregnancy. Of course, ginseng, atractylodes macrocephala, angelica sinensis, white peony root, eucommia bark, and tangerine peel can also be used as a tonic to replenish vital energy and stabilize the pregnancy."
After speaking eloquently, Jiang Cha noticed the two were stunned and immediately realized that these were all names of modern medicinal herbs, which did not exist in the Beast World.
She carefully recalled the medicinal herbs she had seen before and finally found a few substitutes, which she then told them using the names of the herbs from this place.
"What you're describing is too complicated. I have the simplest pregnancy-preserving medicine that works much faster."
Ragu listened to her endless stream of suggestions, gave her a deep look, then casually grabbed a handful of herbs from the stone table, crushed them into juice, and fed it to Acai.
Before Jiang Cha could even see what kind of medicinal herbs they were, Ah Cai had already poured the bright green, raw medicine into her stomach.
So hasty?
However, the high priest was indeed quite powerful.
Not long after Ah Cai finished drinking the medicine, she let go of the hand that was covering her stomach, got up and slowly got off the stone bed, and her gaze toward Jiang Cha became more intriguing.
Orcs' physiques are still somewhat different from humans'. A pregnant woman who was just in excruciating pain can immediately get out of bed and walk after taking a pregnancy-stabilizing medicine.
Ah Cai was fine and was about to leave. As she passed Jiang Cha, she stiffened her neck and whispered a thank you.
Jiang Cha didn't seem to mind, and simply smiled in response.
How did you suddenly learn so much?
The high priest cleaned up the dirt on the stone bed, and as he stood up, his sharp gaze shot towards her, "Are you really that girl Jiang Cha?"
She had already prepared an excuse before coming, and just as she was about to explain her knowledge of pharmacology, the curtain at the cave entrance was rudely lifted.
"Sister, so you really came here! Your little brother has been looking for you everywhere!"
It's Jiang Lu!
"Greetings, High Priest."
He greeted the high priest respectfully.
"Get out!"
Ragu had no liking for this ungrateful little male and pointed towards the cave entrance.
All the tribespeople wore robes made of animal hides, except for the high priest, who wore a long linen skirt over his robe.
Her dry, gray hair was adorned with tricolored feathers, and she had a strange red mark between her brows. Her deeply furrowed face was filled with anger.
Such a high priest did indeed instill some fear in Jiang Lu.
He involuntarily shrank back, his eyes flickering as he looked at Jiang Cha. "High Priest, I'm here to see my sister, I didn't mean to bother you."
Ever since the High Priestess Ragu was betrayed by her apprentice, everyone knows that her temper has become increasingly eccentric.
He also refused to take on any more apprentices.
But she was already quite old, and the priesthood had to be passed down. The chieftain had recently started urging her to take over, and even recommended his own daughter. Ragu couldn't refuse directly, which made her even more upset.
"What do you want with her? To sell your sister into the Pit again?"
Ragu snorted coldly, grabbed a cane from the corner of the wall and swung it at the enemy. "If it weren't for your extremely high combat talent, I would have had the clan leader kick you out long ago for violating the clan rules like this. How dare you come here?"
Unexpectedly, the news of what happened in the morning reached Lagu's ears so quickly. Jiang Lu immediately thought that Jiang Cha had come to complain. He ran away crying, but his eyes were full of resentment towards his sister.
"My sister is already impotent. I just want to send her to the Pi Cave as soon as possible. The clan leader knows about this. I haven't violated any clan rules!"
The clan chief's daughter has taken a liking to Lin Bei, but Lin Bei absolutely refuses to become one of her ten beast husbands. After it was discovered yesterday that Jiang Cha is a barren woman, the clan chief will naturally be even less likely to stand on Jiang Cha's side and will continue to turn a blind eye to Jiang Lu's behavior.
Jiang Cha felt a chill in her heart. Even the clan leader wasn't on her side. Even if she escaped from the Pi Cave, her future would be difficult.
Ragu stopped after hitting her twice, panting heavily, and asked, "Did the chieftain order you to sell my sister to another male?"
Jiang Lu dodged easily, leaning against the wall as he rolled his eyes.
The clan chief merely acquiesced, but did not give any instructions.
"No, I didn't sell my sister. It was her own choice."
Ragu asked knowingly, "Jiang Cha, did you willingly offer yourself to the orc Ral?"
Jiang Cha immediately retorted, "I didn't!"
Jiang Lu: "It seems that my sister has changed her mind, but it's better not to go back on your word. Sister, come back with me."
Jiang Cha gained a new appreciation for his shamelessness. She pointed to her forehead and said, "Jiang Lu, are you blind to the injury on my forehead? Even in this state, you can still say that I did it voluntarily. Do you think everyone is as stupid as you?"
Jiang Lu didn't want to give up on that big bamboo rat. Ruan Ruan hadn't spoken to him for three days. She said she wanted to eat bamboo rat meat. He couldn't even fulfill such a small request. He definitely wouldn't consider him for the position of beast husband in the future.
He started using the same tricks he'd been using since he was a child: making a scene and crying, begging Jiang Cha to go back with him.
"Sister, please help me! You're my only family in this world. If you don't help me, there's really no one else who can. I really love Ruan Ruan, and I can't live without her!"
"My only family member, so it's okay to sacrifice him, right?"
Jiang Cha quickly hid behind the high priest, refusing to listen to the bastard's chanting!
"Alright! If you're really a man, go hunt and feed the Holy Mother yourself. Don't sacrifice your sister to satisfy your pathetic vanity."
Lagu lashed Jiang Lu with his cane, making him wince in pain, but he dared not retaliate. "Let's leave it at that. Don't bother your sister anymore. If I were to pursue this matter, do you think your sister would be the first to enter the Pi Cave, or you would be the first to be expelled from the tribe?"
The high priest's threat was effective. Jiang Lu was unwilling but helpless, and could only leave resentfully.
The high priest knew that Jiang Lu had violated the clan rules, but chose not to pursue the matter because of his strength.
Watching the boy's departing figure, Jiang Cha felt an even stronger urge to become stronger.
She needs to find Lin Bei to share a room with as soon as possible to obtain the space reward.
"Now can you tell me why you know so much?"
There were no other orcs in the cave at this time, only High Priest Ragu and she were inside.
Jiang Cha composed herself, peered around the cave entrance, and, finding no orcs passing by, sat down solemnly at the stone table.
"Actually... it was the Beast God who taught me."
There is a legend in the Beast World that the Beast God brought lightning and heavenly fire, as well as food and supernatural abilities. The Beast God granted the orcs the ability to survive, and the Beast God is their faith.
However, no one knows whether the Beast God is male or female, or what it looks like.
Jiang Cha wanted to attribute all his pharmacological knowledge from his previous life to the legend of the beast god.
