Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Wei Cheng, tell Aunt Song and the others we can open some shops around the border. For example, we can open a dumpling shop specializing in making and selling dumplings.
“We can also set up a stall to sell various pancakes and another for selling noodles.” Su Binglan had taught everyone here to make noodles, so the villagers had a new skill. Since that was the case, they should use it to make a good living.
Everyone needed money, so Luo Jin’an gave them some silver notes. However, silver notes were not enough in places like the border. They still needed to make some things to exchange for food. The villagers here bartered with each other.
Wei Cheng was grateful to Su Binglan when he heard her words. “Thank you,
Madam. I’ll tell everyone about it.”
He did not expect the young lady to think about everyone constantly. He also knew his master wanted to return to Su Teng Village with Su Binglan. Hence, Wei Cheng willingly stayed behind to help his master care for everyone.
Moreover, Wei Cheng possessed excellent medical skills, which could greatly help, especially in these troubled times.
Then Su Binglan took out some of her medicine, saying, “I’ve written the contents on these bottles. Some are for colds, those are for stomach aches, and that’s for headaches.’
She had prepared and packed these medicines in her pocket dimension when she left Su Teng Village to come here. At that moment, she took it out for everyone to use.
That way, anyone with a headache or fever could take the medicine to treat themselves. There was no need to write a prescription and buy medicine. Su Binglan knew Heishao Village was relatively remote, making it inconvenient for its people to buy medication.
Now that she had given them a steady supply of medicine, the villagers could use them in a time of need.
Wei Cheng was stunned when he looked at the medicine bottles and their contents. “Madam, did you make all this medicine?”
He opened one of the bottles and smelled it. He realized the medicine did not smell bitter, only carrying a slight medicinal fragrance.
Whenever Wei Cheng treated his patients and made medicine for them, he would boil herbs for them to drink. He had never seen pills before. However, he had heard that the earliest members of the Legendary Medicine Valley had invented pills. Still, the pill-making method had gone missing long ago.
Wei Cheng was utterly shocked as he looked at the pills.
To Su Binglan, using medicinal ingredients to make pills was relatively easy, so she could not relate to Wei Chengs shock.
Wei Chengs heart was in turmoil, thinking, ‘Is Madam some god-like genius?! No wonder Master values Madam so much. Madam is a treasure to all of humankind!
‘This is even more exciting than digging up lost treasure. Madam also cured Master’s cold poison.’
Wei Cheng was grateful to Su Binglan and genuinely acknowledged her as a genius. Previously, he respected Su Binglan mostly because his Master told him to, but now, he genuinely respected her.
After all, such a genius like Su Binglan deserved everyone’s respect. Still, just looking at those pills, Wei Chengs admiration for the young lady surged like a river. He felt he should bow and worship her.
Su Binglan said, “Yes, I made those pills. They’re more convenient to store and distribute. Take these and keep them as backups.”
Wei Cheng said lowly, “Madam, I don’t even know how to use medicinal ingredients and turn them into pills.”
Wei Cheng was too embarrassed to say he wanted to learn these techniques from Su Binglan, primarily because he felt he had discussed too many medical terms with the young lady and learned a lot from her, even though she had only been here for a few days.
Logically speaking, most doctors would not spread their knowledge like Su Binglan. However, Wei Cheng felt he was undeserving to be Su Binglan’s apprentice. After all, the young lady had said that she already had apprentices.
Su Binglan was astonished when she heard Wei Chengs words. She suddenly noticed something when she saw his eager and expectant eyes. Indeed, most doctors in this era did not know how to make pills.
“The most commonly used method is utilizing honey.”
Wei Cheng was confused and did not quite understand her. “What’s that, Madam?”
“Get the herbs according to the prescription first,” Su Binglan patiently explained, “Then crush all the herbs and make them as fine as possible. Afterward, add honey to the herbs and prepare some clean water.
“Next, add the honey and herb mixture into the pot, add the clean water, and boil it. The following steps should be to place the medicinal ingredients into a different pot and stir it over a medium fire.
“Then add the honey mixture into that pot and fold them together. After all that, you will have pills.”
Although Su Binglan made it sound easy, the actual process was not. It required a lot of practice, and Wei Cheng would only become proficient in it after much effort.
Wei Cheng felt enlightened. “So, that’s how you make pills. Thank you,
Madam! Thank you so much!”
“There’s no need to thank me. The process isn’t as simple as it sounds. You need to figure some things out yourself. If you have any questions, you can ask me.’
Su Binglan could not teach Wei Cheng in person since she hurried to set off for the deceased royal’s mansion with Luo Jin’an.
Wei Cheng said gratefully, “Thank you for everything, Madam.”
Su Binglan shook her head. “There’s no need for that. You cared for Jin’an previously, but I’ve yet to repay you.”
Wei Cheng was flattered and said, “Taking care of Master was my duty. How can I bear for you to repay me, Madam?”
He felt Su Binglan was approachable. She did not put on airs with anyone and treated them well. Wei Cheng did not know how to thank her for that.
‘We can all rest assured with such a person by Master’s side. I can feel how sincere Madam is toward Master.’
Over a hundred people from different places gathered in Heishao Village after Luo Jin’an sent out the signal. Everyone was stunned when they saw their master standing there with a powerful aura.
They were excited but wondered if their Master had gotten better. They could no longer sense any traces of the cold poison. It was as if the man before had reclaimed his former glory.
These people would feel like they had returned to the past if it were not for Luo Jin’an’s scar reminding them of what had happened three years ago.
Luo Jin’an looked at everyone and said, “My wife has cured me of the cold poison. This time, we will go to the deceased royal’s mansion and protect it.”
Although there were tiny remnants of the cold poison within him, it could not affect him. Furthermore, Su Binglan possessed the Purple Spirit Ginseng. Since Luo Jin’an did not want his people to worry, he told them he no longer had the cold poison within him.
Everyone was ecstatic after hearing the news. Many wanted to shout but were disciplined and stood rooted, facing their master and awaiting his orders.
“Master, we are ready!”
“Excellent,” Luo Jin’an said seriously.
Su Binglan looked at the more than 100 people standing in an orderly formation and saw everyone’s intense fighting spirit. She could not help but sigh with satisfaction.
‘So this is what the feared and mighty Wei family army looks like.’
The Wei family’s army would cause any enemy to tremble in fear. Moreover, the army always defeated their enemies, although outnumbered. They made many legendary achievements in the past, creating history for future generations to learn from.
Not only did the Wei family army rely on Wei Jin’an’s perfect commanding abilities—they also relied on their intense fighting spirit. After all, a potent fighting spirit was the father of formidable strength..
