Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 9: Take Good Supplements
"According to the system's instructions, when this herb garden was taken out of the system and placed, the first batch of herbs were already mature. After being picked once, they will return to their normal growth rate. Now it seems that the system did not lie to me."

These various herbs, big and small, have different shapes, but in Liu He's eyes they are all equally beautiful and attractive!

Liu He couldn't wait to open the material exchange interface in his mind.

"Hehe, first choose two prescriptions, one for a medicinal bath, and one for a medicinal diet. Let's take good care of my and Zhang Yong's bodies."

After choosing the prescription, the corresponding herbs were quickly picked according to the contents of the prescription.

"Well... my parents in this life have been very good to me, so I should show some respect to them."

Liu He looked at the medicine garden and remembered that he had died suddenly in his previous life. His parents must have been very sad and desperate. As the saying goes, "A son wants to support his parents but they are no longer there", he decided to make up for it in this life.

He selected a ginseng, pulled it out carefully, held all the herbs carefully in his arms as if they were rare treasures, and ran back to the back mountain.

"Yongzi, stop practicing now, come and go home with me first!"

Liu He ran and shouted at Zhang Yong.

Zhang Yong was a little confused, but since Liu He had greeted him before, he didn't ask any further questions and just followed him.

"Mother, mother..."

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Liu He shouted, which frightened Xu so much that she hurried out.

"He'er, what's wrong? Why are you so surprised? If your father knew, he would probably accuse you of being rude."

Liu He didn't care about that. He had to act surprised so that he could explain the origins of these herbs and make up for the lie.

"Reporting to mother, I found a treasure!"

Looking at her child's face full of "surprise", although Xu had no expectations for the so-called "baby" Liu He mentioned, she could not bear to disappoint the child.

"Okay, okay, my son has become capable now. Let me see what treasure it is."

Liu He quickly handed the large pile of herbs in his hands to Xu.

Xu fiddled with it for a few times, and then her face showed a surprised expression. She might not recognize other herbs, but ginseng was easy to recognize.

"He'er, where did you get these herbs? You must tell me the truth!"

Liu He looked at his mother's suddenly serious expression and knew that she was worried that he would learn bad things, so she was so panicked.

"Don't worry, mother. These herbs are not from anyone else. They belong to the old man who claimed to be his great-grandfather. He showed up again last night. He said that he saw that I was so diligent that my whole body ached, so he gave me these herbs so that I could grow up quickly."

Zhang Yong suddenly shouted, "Ah! Sir, what treasure did you say you were going to get from the mountain? It turns out it was for this!"

Xu and the others had already completely believed that Liu He had received guidance from Emperor Gaozu of Han. After hearing what Zhang Yong said, and seeing that these herbs were still covered in dirt and clearly had just been picked, she was even more convinced of Liu He's explanation!

"Thank you, ancestors! Thank you, His Majesty the Great Ancestor!"

Xu knelt down and kowtowed to the sky. Liu He didn't want to just stand there stupidly, so he kowtowed with her.

After bowing, he helped Xu stand up, but Xu suddenly frowned again. "But mother and your father don't understand medicine. If they are used incorrectly, they may hurt your two children's bodies. How about this, you go and call your father back, ask him to go to the county town, sell these herbs, and exchange them for some supplements to replenish your bodies."

In rural areas like where they live, there are only some traveling doctors who appear occasionally, and there are no regular doctors at all. Even pharmacies can only be seen in the county town.

"Mother, that's not necessary. Last night in my dream, my great-grandfather gave me some magical recipes, saying that if I use these herbs, along with this recipe, take a medicinal diet, and take a medicinal bath every night, my body will never be as sore as before!"

Upon hearing this, Xu was overjoyed. She had felt so distressed by the pain Liu He and the others had suffered before, as if she were the one suffering herself.

"Great, great! Our ancestors have thought so carefully, that's great!"

Liu He put all the herbs in his arms on the ground.

"Mother, there are thirteen kinds of medicine in total, divided into two types. The first kind is for making medicinal food, and the second kind is for taking medicinal baths. In addition, this wild ginseng is a gift from me to my father and mother."

When Xu heard this, she was stunned at first, then she was suddenly moved and tears welled up in her eyes.

"My son, you have grown up. However, since these herbs were given to you by your ancestors, you should keep them for your two children to use to nourish their bodies. Your mother and your father do not need them."

"Don't worry, mother. There are still many such herbs in the mountain stream. Besides, our ancestors also said that Yongzi and I are still young, so we should first take care of our bodies with other herbs. I think our ancestors advocated governing the world with benevolence and filial piety. He gave this wild ginseng in the hope that father and mother could also take good care of their bodies."

Liu He held Emperor Gaozu's banner and spoke in an orderly manner, and Zhang Yong, who was standing beside him, echoed him repeatedly.

"Yes, we are both in good health. I think those medicinal foods and medicinal baths are redundant. We definitely won't be able to use this wild ginseng."

Seeing that the two children were so sensible, Xu was very pleased and no longer refused.

"Well, since you two children are so filial, I won't say much. By the way, when you have time in a few days, go pick some more and send them back to the Zhang family."

The Zhang family's conditions were truly those of an ordinary farming family of that era. When the harvest was good, they could ensure food and clothing, but when the harvest was bad, they could only tighten their belts to get by, so naturally the family's physical condition was not very good.

Zhang Yong actually had this idea a long time ago, but he didn't dare to say it out loud due to his status. After hearing what Xu said, he was naturally very grateful and almost knelt down to kowtow, but was supported by Liu He and Xu.

Together, under Liu He's guidance, the three of them sorted out the herbs, chopping what needed to be chopped, grinding what needed to be ground, and cutting what needed to be cut, and mixed them according to the proportions Liu He had specified.

This matter is easier said than done. It was not so easy to do it in reality. It took me until the sun started to set before I finally prepared all the herbs.

Afterwards, Liu He told his mother Xu the method of cooking the medicine and the precautions. He and Zhang Yong each took half a piece of coarse cake and ran back to the mountain to continue training.

"Yongzi, now that we have these tonics, we won't have to worry about training in the future. Let's just double the training content starting from today."

Liu He suggested.

Zhang Yong agreed without hesitation.

"Okay, no problem, whatever you say is fine! Besides, there's nothing to worry about. Ergou, I don't feel tired at all."

The way Zhang Yong patted his chest while speaking made Liu He more and more satisfied with his first subordinate. He thought he was loyal and reliable, and not stupid. As long as his attributes were improved, he would definitely be his most capable assistant in the future.

Thinking about these dreams that were once out of reach but now seem to be right before his eyes, Liu He became more motivated and full of energy during training.
