Chapter 771: Chapter 769: Going Up the Mountain to Gather Herbs

Chirp chirp.

The eagle brother called out twice, indicating that he was indeed asking for the body-strengthening pill.

Chen Yang was stunned when he saw that the eagle brother really wanted the body-strengthening pill, and immediately he wanted to put the pill away.

This thing isn’t something to be eaten carelessly, if something went wrong after eating it, it would be serious trouble.

But before he could put it away, the eagle brother suddenly stretched its neck and pecked the body-strengthening pill away.

"You can’t eat this!"

Chen Yang was startled, reaching out to grab the eagle brother’s neck, trying to stop it.

However, after the eagle brother pecked at it, without the slightest hesitation, it swallowed it down into its stomach.

Chen Yang was dumbfounded on the spot.

The body-strengthening pill, eaten by the eagle brother?

This won’t kill it, will it?

"Spit it out quickly, you silly eagle!" Chen Yang was somewhat panicked inside; as a doctor, he knew better than anyone the concept of every medicine having its side effects.

So he directly grabbed the eagle brother and started patting its back forcefully.

He wanted to make it spit out the body-strengthening pill, but not only did the creature refuse to spit it out, it even found an opportunity to slip away from Chen Yang’s hands and flew out.

"You come down right now, that thing wasn’t meant for you to eat! Spit it out quickly!" Chen Yang stood up and shouted anxiously.

But the eagle brother just kept flying in the sky, refusing to come down.

Chen Yang was terribly gloomy, but he had no way to deal with it; it stayed up in the sky and wouldn’t come down, so what could he do?

"I hope this guy will be alright."

Seeing that it wouldn’t come down, Chen Yang simply stopped caring about it and went back to his original seating position, quietly observing.

After watching for a while and seeing that the eagle brother showed no reaction and didn’t seem uncomfortable, Chen Yang was slightly relieved.

"This guy really dares to eat anything. He didn’t learn his lesson at all from the last time he got poisoned by a snake." Chen Yang shook his head and stood up.

Then he left the forest directly, heading towards the village.

When he came to a small hill, Chen Yang suddenly saw several jeeps on the village road, driving straight toward the village hall, and finally stopping in front of it.

"The documents have arrived so quickly?"

Seeing the convoy, Chen Yang immediately thought of the document about the school construction, guessing that it must be the county delivering the documents.

So he didn’t pay much attention to it, thinking that it was just a few approval documents, and it would be the same if he went to get them after eating.

Therefore, he didn’t go to the village hall but went straight home to prepare lunch.

At the same time Chen Yang arrived home, the eagle brother also flew back to its nest.

Seeing that it was in good condition without any problems, Chen Yang didn’t bother about it.

After preparing and finishing lunch, he went straight to the village hall, wanting to check out the school construction approval documents and to take a couple of photos to send to Li Han, which might help their design work.

Thinking this way, Chen Yang arrived at the entrance of the village hall.

At the entrance, he was surprised to find that those vehicles were still parked in front of the village hall.

"Is it really necessary to take this long just to deliver some documents?"

Chen Yang was puzzled, but didn’t give it too much thought, and directly entered the village hall.

As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he saw several distinguished-looking young people walking out of Wu Kexin’s office.

Seeing people coming out, Chen Yang slowed his steps for a moment, standing in the courtyard without moving, and watched those people coming down from the second floor with Wu Kexin.

They are not simple, these people are all somewhat notable.

This was Chen Yang’s first reaction upon seeing these individuals.

"Uh... Chen Yang, you’re here." At this moment, Wu Kexin, who was coming down from upstairs, saw Chen Yang standing in the yard and spoke.

At the same time, those few people also saw Chen Yang. However, they didn’t say anything. They just gave Chen Yang an extra look, walked past him, got into the car parked outside, and left.

Only after hearing the sound of the car fading away did Chen Yang look up at Wu Kexin and ask, "Who are those people?"

"They’re my family members. They came here to handle some things recently, so they stopped by to see me," Wu Kexin replied without thinking, knowing that Chen Yang would ask.

Hearing Wu Kexin’s explanation, Chen Yang harbored no further doubts in his heart.

He had long known that Wu Kexin’s background was not simple, so the imposing manner of those people from earlier made sense.

"I see, I thought they were from the county delivering the approval documents," Chen Yang said with a smile.

Wu Kexin, hearing this, also smiled and said, "The documents won’t arrive until this afternoon. Why the rush?"

After speaking, she asked with a smile, "Have you eaten yet? If not, shall we have something together?"

"I’ve already eaten. I just came to check on the documents. Since they haven’t arrived yet, I’ll leave first; there are still things I need to do," Chen Yang said with a smile.

"Okay, go ahead with your work then. I’ll bring the documents to you when they arrive this afternoon," Wu Kexin said.

"Alright."

Chen Yang nodded and then left the village office straight away without lingering.

After leaving the village office, Chen Yang returned home.

He had intended to continue training the Elixir Brother in the afternoon since there was nothing else to do, but for some reason, the bird stubbornly refused to come out of its nest.

Chen Yang was startled when it wouldn’t emerge, wondering if it was sick from consuming the Body Fortifying Elixir.

Going upstairs to check, he found nothing unusual about it.

Unable to figure out the bird, Chen Yang didn’t dwell on studying it.

Assured that there were no health issues, he left it alone.

He went directly to the storage room, took a basket and a hoe on his back, and headed up the mountain. It had been a while since he gathered herbs, and he was running low on Body Fortifying Elixirs and such.

Thus, he decided to take advantage of the free time to go up the hill and collect some herbs to make some elixirs.

Chen Yang headed up the mountain alone with his basket on his back.

Once on the mountain, he started earnestly searching for herbs.

The wilderness of the mountain was truly rich with wild herbs.

Common herbs used to treat colds or simple ailments were so plentiful, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say they were everywhere.

However, such herbs were of no interest to Chen Yang. He mainly collected the rarer ones, as the elixir recipes from the Elixir King’s Scripture required better-quality herbs.

Ordinary herbs simply would not suffice to achieve the desired effects.

"With so many common herbs, if I were to collect them all and then process them into medicine, they would definitely sell well."

Looking at the sea of herbs around him, Chen Yang was reminded of his previous plan to open a pharmaceutical factory.

He had always thought it would be extremely profitable, and now, seeing all the common herbs, he felt even more eager.

But that was all he could feel—eager. Without a production line or technical talent, starting a pharmaceutical factory was out of the question.

"Damn Gu Family, why must they oppose me? Isn’t it better to earn money together?"

Chen Yang shook his head helplessly, not getting carried away with his thoughts.

He focused on collecting his herbs.

That afternoon, Chen Yang returned home with a full basket, having gathered plenty of herbs.

Satisfied at heart, he descended the mountain, ready to go home, wash up, and process them all into elixirs in the evening.

But when he was passing by the Gu Family’s large building, Chen Yang suddenly noticed that there were several big trucks parked outside the entrance.
