Chapter 11: Herb-picking
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
At that moment, Su Qing, whom Ji Shui Sheng had been looking for, was staggering along the mountain. After a night of rain, the roads in the mountain were not easy to walk on. The plants on the ground were covered in rainwater, and after walking a few steps, her cloth shoes were drenched and cold.
Even the heat accumulated from the bowl of porridge and the bowl of medicine could not withstand the cold.
Su Qing could not help but shiver.
In her previous life, she had been drenched in a storm for a day and a night. The feeling of hunger and cold was exactly the same as now. The difference was that her body was strong back then, but now it was as broken as a broken willow catkin.
She had to enter the mountains to find medicine. The medicine that Ji Shui Sheng had brought back could only treat her broken bones and external injuries. It had no effect on her internal injuries and concussion.
She couldn’t stand being so dizzy and constantly vomiting and fainting. This would make her feel weak and fragile, a disgrace to the God of War.
Therefore, even if there was no way to prepare the medicinal herbs for the restoration pill for the time being, she had to collect enough medicinal herbs for the brain clearing pill first. At the very least, she had to have a clear head.
“Be careful, master.”
Little seven’s heartache-filled voice rang in her ears. Su Qing’s eyes flashed with warmth. She didn’t say anything and focused on finding the herbs. The earlier she picked enough, the earlier she could go back.
She did not want to leave the group. The future that Xiao Ying had described was too beautiful. She wanted to live a peaceful life where she worked at sunrise and rested at sunset.
The reason why she came out without telling Xiao Ying was that she was afraid that she would go into the mountains with her regardless of the danger. She was a warm-hearted girl.
The thought of Ji Xiao Ying made Su Qing’s eyes warm up even more, and she picked up his pace.
“Little seven, will I be able to recover the abilities of the God of War from my previous life after I heal my injuries?” Su Qing asked little seven as he picked the herbs.
“No, you can’t. The only thing you can do is to let master’s body recover. In my previous life, the God of War’s ability disappeared with master’s rebirth. You need to complete a mission to reactivate it.”
Little seven’s voice was a little dejected. It really admired its master and felt that this was very unfair to her.
“A quest?” Su Qing asked as she straightened her back and looked coldly into the sky.
“Yes, you can activate master’s ability by completing the mission given by the system.”
“Let me see,” Su Qing frowned and gave the order.
A screen appeared in front of her. Her physical strength, spiritual power, and combat power were all zero. The interface explained that lighting up all the skills in the system would add one ability point. When the skill leveled up, the ability point would also level up. To max out the ability points to the God of War ability, one needed to be at level 100.
Wouldn’t that be a long time?
Su Qing’s heart was filled with anger. Se really wanted to destroy this garbage system.
She took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in her heart. Then, she went to check which skill points she needed.
Gathering, hunting, weaving, cooking, picking herbs, mining, smithing, medicine, sewing, and merit. There were ten main categories in total, and each category was at the maximum level of level 10. In total, there were exactly 100 levels.
It seemed that the system wanted to train her to become an all-rounded war god…
“Master, let’s light up the [herb gathering] skill first!”
Little seven kindly reminded Su Qing that her master was currently picking herbs, and it was a good time to light up the skill.
Su Qing didn’t say anything. She raised her hand and selected all the skills. She could pick wild vegetables and cattail grass to make straw sandals while picking herbs. That way, she could complete three tasks at once: gathering, picking herbs, and weaving.
When she returned to the escape team, she could help the women cook, so that her cooking skills could be upgraded too.
Hunting was even less difficult for her, but it was definitely impossible with her current body. However, once she maxed out gathering and herb-gathering, her God of War ability points would be able to rise to 30, which would be enough for hunting.
As for the other things, merit points could be triggered at any time. Additionally, she didn’t have to worry about medical skills at all. With little seven around, she could handle it. Moreover, she also knew medical skills.
Mining and forging would have to be done slowly, and she would have to wait until she reached Jing Shi Dao.
Little seven blinked her big eyes in adoration and started to boast again, “Master is so smart! Little seven didn’t think of that!”
Su Qing was already used to little seven’s flattery. After activating her skill, she began to focus on picking herbs, wild vegetables, and cattail leaves for weaving straw shoes.
When she had collected enough herbs to make the brain clear pill, she heard the system’s happy voice.
[Congratulations, host. Herb-picking has leveled up. Physical strength, mental strength, and combat power have all been increased by one. War God ability has been upgraded by one.]
With the sound of the good news, Su Qing felt that her weak body had gained a little more strength, and her mental fatigue had also decreased.
Little seven flattered her again, “Master is so awesome!”
Su Qing’s eyes flashed with a smile, but her voice was still cold, “Cut the crap and make the brain-clearing pill.”
“Yes.”
Little seven was so happy that she forgot to make medicine for her master. She quickly threw Su Qing into the system to make brain-clearing pills.
“Master, take your medicine.”
Little seven eagerly handed the medicine to her master. Su Qing put the medicine into her mouth expressionlessly. When the pill entered her stomach, her mind instantly cleared up. She no longer felt dizzy or nauseated.
She had cured her broken bones and concussions. She was only missing the last and most important internal injuries.
However, it was useless to be anxious. Little seven had just scanned the mountain and there was no Lingzhi at all. How could a mountain without any spiritual energy grow Lingzhi?
Su Qing gathered herbs and headed deep into the mountains. If she wanted to level up her medical skills, she needed herbs. Those refugees had been drenched in the rain the entire night, so many of them must have been infected with the cold wind. She had gathered herbs that could treat the cold wind. She had also asked little seven to make them into pills. If she gave them to those who were seriously ill, wouldn’t they be able to level up their merit?
When she walked into the mountains, she saw an apricot tree. Due to the previous drought, it did not bear many fruits, nor were they very big. However, the apricot meat could be eaten, the almonds could be used as medicine, and most importantly, it could be used to level up and collect herbs at the same time.
Su Qing found a long stick and hit the tree branch, causing a yellow apricot rain to fall. This was the scene that Ji Shui Sheng saw when he came over.
The emaciated woman raised her head and focused on hitting the branches with the long stick. In the yellow apricot rain, the woman’s perpetually cold eyes flashed with a touch of joy.
Thinking of what his younger sister had said, Ji Shui Sheng walked towards Su Qing.
Su Qing heard the sound of a broken branch and turned around. Their gazes met in the yellow apricot rain.
Ji Shui Sheng awkwardly shifted his gaze and coughed lightly before asking her, “Why didn’t you say anything before running into the mountain?”
“I was a little dizzy, so I wanted to go into the mountains to pick some medicine,” Su Qing explained indifferently. She then gathered her skirt into a pocket and started to stuff the fallen plums inside.
Ji Shui Sheng saw some medicinal herbs on the ground. He picked them up and saw that they were all medicine for the cold wind.
He asked Su Qing, “You’re suffering from the cold wind?”
“No, I’m saving it for the road.”
Su Qing recalled that Ji Shui Sheng also knew about medicine and told him the truth.
Ji Shui Sheng saw that she was still picking up the apricots and urged her, “Let’s go back quickly. After resting for a while, we have to leave this mountain before dark. Otherwise, it will be dangerous if there are bandits in the mountains.”
This mountain was easy to defend and hard to attack. It was a good place for the bandits to set up camp, and the victims of the disaster were good targets for them to rob.
