It is surrounded by extremely dense forests, with a quiet river flowing in the middle. Every three miles, there is a straight wooden bridge across the river.

On both sides of the river are fertile, dark medicinal fields that shine brightly in the sun, probably covering tens of thousands of acres.

These medicinal fields are planted with basic medicinal materials such as 'Chongcaowu', 'Gypsophila Manxing' and 'Chuanqiongcao'. There are fifteen or sixteen kinds of medicinal materials, and each has a planting area of ​​three to four thousand acres.

Beside a square medicinal field, Chu Tian, ​​who was blue-gray in color and shivering in the hot sun, leaned weakly on a wooden stake tied to a "strong bull", watching the wild boar working in the field in sweat.

Yes, it was Shan Zhu, the young man who picked up Chu Tian from the mountains and brought him back to the village, took care of the unconscious Chu Tian for several days, and then helped Chu Tian along the forest path to come to this medicinal field. His name was "Shaan Zhu"!

How much cultural level can you expect from a group of second-rate, part-time bandits?

When this kid was born, his father had just hunted a ferocious wild boar, so he was given the more reliable name "Wild Boar" - if this kid was named "Pig Heart", "Pig Liver", "Pig Intestine" or something like that because of a pig-killing banquet, wouldn't that be very likely?

The medicinal field is nearly 100 meters long and wide, and can be as large as more than ten acres. Shan Zhu is busy working in the field with two children who are one or two years younger than him. The field is densely covered with thick, dark green leaves. This plant is five feet tall and shaped like a lotus leaf. Its rhizome is abnormally thick and poisonous. It is good at clearing the meridians and opening up blood and qi. It is Cordyceps sinensis.

This is the main herbal ingredient for making basic wound medicine and basic body-building pills in this world. It is grown in large quantities and has a wide range of uses.

The whole body of Cordyceps sinensis is poisonous, so there is no disease or insect pest. However, its rhizomes are good at gathering soil fertility. The more Cordyceps sinensis is planted in the medicinal field, the more weeds will grow. The task of the wild boar and his two friends is to constantly clean up the weeds in the Cordyceps sinensis fields nearby.

Originally, this task was undertaken by Chu Tian and his three little kids.

A 'strong man' brought three little guys and they were just clearing the weeds. The thirty or forty acres of land nearby were given to them, and the work was not hard.

However, it has been nearly ten days since he came to this sect called "Medicine King Sect". The injuries suffered by other bandits in the battles with the soldiers have almost healed, but Chu Tian is still the same, his whole body is so cold that he can hardly move.

The Medicine King Sect didn't care about this at all. They only provided these medicine slaves with food, drink and a place to live. If there was a problem with the medicine fields, they would just punish the medicine slaves severely. Apart from that, they didn't care about anything else.

Chu Tian, ​​a grown man, had to rely on the hard work of the mountain master and his two friends to get three meals a day and a thatched hut to shelter from the wind and rain at night - the wild boar's parents were still alive, and they had some complaints about this.

"What an honest bandit!" Chu Tian huddled beside a wooden stake, watching the wild boar's parents coming over carrying two buckets of water.

The weeds in thirty or forty acres of land had to be cleared from time to time, which was too difficult for the wild boar and its two friends. After all, Chu Tian, ​​as the main force, was lying in the field and could hardly move.

These days, although the wild boar's parents kept complaining behind his back that he had picked up a burden, every day after finishing their work, the couple would still come over to help their son clear the weeds in the field.

The wild boar father, who was tall and strong with a full beard, would comfort Chu Tian, ​​saying that everyone will have disasters and illnesses, and that one day they might encounter misfortunes. We are all children of the world, so it is only right for us to take care of each other.

A 'former bandit' who had no martial arts skills at all and even robbed people only as a part-time job, used the familiar underworld jargon to comfort Chu Tian in a serious manner. Every time Chu Tian heard Shanzhu's father reciting the jargon in front of him like reciting a book, he didn't find it funny, but felt a little touched in his heart.

"Brother Tian, ​​get more sun! You have a cold evil that has penetrated into your bones. There is no medicine for it, so get more sun!" The wild boar's father came to Chu Tian with two buckets on his shoulders and said seriously, "The sun can wash away all the cold evil. So, get more sun, and it's best if you can get naked!"

Chu Tian grinned with difficulty and nodded to the wild boar father.

Sunbathing, maybe it will help?

However, with the vicious power of the Yin-Yang cold soul in Chu Tian's body, Chu Tian probably has to sleep with a sun in his arms in order to effectively dispel the evil poison in his body!

"Uncle, you have worked hard!" Chu Tian shook his head again and smiled a few times at the wild boar father.

"What's the hard work?" The wild boar father put down the bucket and walked into the medicine field with a smile: "To be honest, this Medicine King Gate is a bit scary, but the food and drink here are much better than our own village. Hey, the food is a bit worse, but there is meat every day!"

The wild boar's father emphasized to Chu Tian in a serious and solemn manner: "We have meat every day! This is better than what ordinary rich people eat. Wow, those local rich people near our village, how can they afford to eat like this! It's not a big festival, who would be willing to eat meat? They just live on all kinds of fruits and vegetables. A little oil in the bowl is much better than ordinary people."

Looking up at the sky, the wild boar father sighed, "There is meat every day... In this year, in this world, here... It's really good."

The wild boar father lowered his head and began to look for weeds near the rhizomes of each Cordyceps sinensis plant.

Chu Tian remained silent.

The former bandits in the village had limited experience. Many of them had never left the mountain where the village was located for more than 50 miles in their entire lives. They were illiterate and had no idea about the world. They only knew that the years were bad, and the income from each robbery was much less than that of their ancestors. The merchants had become poor, so the harvest was very small.

The wealthy people in the small villages surrounding the village were also reluctant to eat meat.

So this year is not good, being a so-called "medicine slave" in the Medicine King Sect, isn't it just doing some work? It's just physical work, no need to fight and kill, but you have food and drink, and you have meat to eat every day. This is a fall, like a mouse falling into a rice jar, this is a good thing!

After ten days, the former bandits in the village had already identified with the Medicine King Sect. This was a good place, and everyone had to work hard, otherwise, where could they find a good life with meat to eat every day?

Chu Tian turned his head with great difficulty and looked at the herb planted in the field next door. It was shaped like asparagus fern and was covered with mung bean-sized white flowers, so it was named "Baby's Breath".

In the past few days, he has identified more than a dozen basic medicinal herbs in the tens of thousands of acres of medicinal fields nearby. With his attainments in alchemy, he has fully mastered the medicinal properties of these basic herbs.

However, it was of no use… They were just some ordinary basic herbs, which would not improve Chu Tian’s predicament at all.
