He Hongchi was troubled by his apprentice who only cared about money. He looked at Wenwen seriously.
"Do you want to maximize the benefits of these wild ginseng plants and use them to pave the road?"
Wenwen understood and she pointed to the sky.
He Hongchi nodded. "That person is old. Those in power have always feared death the most. You have studied history. Some emperors even wanted to live forever."
He pointed to the wild ginseng with tooth marks and the purple Ganoderma lucidum still on the table.
"I plan to make these into pills, longevity pills, and add a box of wild ginseng. I think it will be enough."
"Master, are we going to send it up now?"
"Not now, wait until the cassava is harvested in the south." This way, even if there is no cassava harvest, there is nothing to worry about with these two gifts. It would be even better if there is a good cassava harvest.
Wenwen nodded in thought.
He Hongchi stood up and said, "Get ready to make the medicine." He wanted to cram all his skills into her head.
"Sister, this peach is delicious." Xiao Jiaolan came over skipping and holding a big peach.
You can smell the fragrance of peaches from a long distance away.
Gu Xingyu also came out with a plate of cut peaches and apples.
"Grandpa He, Wenwen, you two should take a rest and eat some fruit."
"It's delicious and sweet." Xiao Jiaolan took a bite of the peach.
"It's really delicious. I've never eaten such a delicious apple." Gu Xingyu praised.
"Indeed, both medicinal herbs and fruits are very spiritual and cannot be compared with ordinary ones. What kind of valley can produce such good plants?" said He Hongchi.
Wenwen thought of the fairy-like valley and the hot spring.
Yes! Hot springs. Yesterday I was so busy digging for medicinal herbs that I didn’t even take a dip in the hot springs. I missed out on the hot spring beauty treatments.
"I probably won't be able to find it next time. It's deep in the mountains. I was lucky yesterday that I didn't encounter any wild animals." Wenwen sighed that she was really lucky yesterday.
"That's good enough. Others never encounter such a good thing in their entire lives. I, your master, don't have such good luck."
"Yes, people should be content." Wenwen said.
"Let's go and make some medicine pills." He Hongchi left.
Wenwen hurried to catch up.
He Hongchi first carefully selects high-quality herbs, his eyes sharp and focused, as if he can see through the appearance of the herbs to their inner qualities. Then he puts the herbs into a stone mortar and gently grinds them with a stone pestle until they become a fine powder.
He then poured the ground herbal powder into a delicate copper pot, carefully added the right amount of water, and brought it to a simmer, stirring the liquid with intense concentration to ensure that all the ingredients were fully incorporated.
As time went by, the liquid medicine gradually thickened and emitted an increasingly rich herbal aroma. He precisely controlled the heat, and when the liquid medicine reached the ideal state, he quickly poured it into the prepared mold.
After the pills have cooled and solidified, He Hongchi wraps them in delicate silk and places them in an exquisite wooden box. These pills, imbued with the wisdom and essence of ancient methods, will bring health and hope to those in need.
He Hongchi looked at Wenwen and said, "It takes time to refine medicine. Today I'm just showing you the steps. You haven't reached the level of refinement yet."
Wenwen nodded, she knew her own worth.
"How's the acupuncture point map?"
Wenwen answered obediently: "About the same."
He Hongchi patted her on the head and said, "What do you mean by 'roughly the same'? We medical students must be absolutely sure of success and be responsible to our patients..." He became angrier and angrier as he spoke, and raised his hand to pat her on the head again.
Wenwen felt wronged. She had only been given a few days to study the acupuncture point chart. She felt like she was memorizing the chart even when she fell asleep.
She touched her head where she was hit. If she was hit again, she would become stupid.
"Then recite it to me." Then he threw a chopstick over: "First, press the acupoints from head to hand. If you make a mistake, you are not allowed to sleep at night. You must recite the acupoint map until dawn." He Hongchi said seriously.
Wenwen got started directly and began to press acupoints...
The temple is located at the midpoint of the line connecting the tip of the eyebrow and the outer canthus, and is in the depression one horizontal finger backward; the Yintang point is located at the midpoint of the line connecting the two eyebrows; the Baihui point is located at the center of the top of the head; the Fengchi point is located in the depression on the outer edge of the two large tendons at the back of the neck, at the same level as the earlobe; the Fengfu point is located 1 inch above the center of the back hairline.
…
In the middle of the night, Wenwen climbed onto the kang with her eyes closed and fell asleep in seconds without even covering herself with the quilt.
Gu Xingyu helped Wenwen cover herself with the quilt. Studying medicine was really hard, and she felt sorry for her best friend.
"I see Wenwen is busy every day. She is really tired. I don't know what I can do to help her." Su Anqiao whispered to Gu Xingyu.
"We all just need to do our own thing and take care of the family." Gu Xingyu said softly.
"Xingyu, sometimes I feel like I'm really useless. I don't know anything and can't help with anything." Su Anqiao was a little depressed.
"How could that be? Everyone is an independent entity. No two people are exactly alike. You can't expect yourself to live like Wenwen. There's only one Wenwen in the world, and there's only one Su Anqiao. Everyone has their own value." Gu Xingyu held Su Anqiao's hand and looked at her gently, "We can't underestimate ourselves."
Su Anqiao hugged Gu Xingyu gently: "Xingyu, thank you! Thank you for being so kind to me."
"Silly girl, because you deserve it!" Gu Xingyu patted her on the back.

Wenwen was reading the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine when Su Anqiao ran in and excitedly said to her, "Those two people went into the woods."
"Who is going into the woods so excitedly?" Wenwen didn't react for a moment.
"Ye Donghan and Zhang Laizi."
"Oh! Who saw it?" The Sea King couldn't help but go into the woods again.
"It was discovered by two newly arrived educated youth."
"When will the new educated youth arrive?" She was so busy these days that she didn't pay attention to what was happening outside.
"They have been here for two or three days. There is a man and a woman. The man's surname is Lin and the woman's surname is Song. I didn't tell you these two days because I saw you were busy." Wenwen is so busy that now her family members don't bother her with trivial matters, allowing her to concentrate on studying medicine.
Wenwen put down the book and said, "Let's go and see what's going on."
"Look how Aquaman drowns." It was Wenwen who said this about Aquaman, and I don't understand what it means.
By the time they arrived at the grove, it was already crowded with people.
Ye Donghan and Zhang Laizi were seen surrounded by the crowd in disheveled clothes.
People were pointing at the two of them. Ye Donghan looked pale and pitiful, with his head buried and tears in his eyes, looking like a complete victim.
"You little whore, who are you showing this to?" Mrs. Zhang slapped Ye Donghan in the face.
Ye Donghan's face suddenly became red and swollen, which showed how much strength Zhang Po had used.
Ye Donghan didn't say a word, just covered her face and cried quietly.
