“We’ll get Dad treated at any cost,” Wang Zecheng said.

“OK,” his wife said. She noticed her husband had changed, which was a good thing.

...

Wang Yao opened the control panel that night when he was on Nanshan Hill. He had received a prompt from the system telling him that he had met the criteria for upgrading.

I can upgrade!

Wang Yao opened the system to check the medicine shop. Three more licorice roots were available. One of them was feilaifeng, but it cost a lot. He needed 100 points to buy it.

So far, he had gotten all the herbs required to make Connection ointment. He could start to brew the decoction.

Wuteng, bajiaotong, feilaifeng, guiyuan... The decoction contained four licorice roots. Three of them were available from the herbal field. He just needed feilaifeng.

...

In the evening, Chen Ying arrived in Beijing. She called Song Ruiping to report Wang Yao’s plan to visit Beijing. The next morning, she went to Su Xiaoxue’s house.

“Good morning, Ma’am,” Chen Ying said.

“Good morning. Take a seat and tell me what Dr. Wang said,” Song Ruiping said.

Chen Ying repeated what Wang Yao had said to her. It was pretty much the same as what she had told Song Ruiping the previous night.

“Mr. Wang said he’s coming to Beijing?” Su Xiaoxue asked.

“Yes,” Chen Ying said.

“That’s great!” Su Xiaoxue was thrilled.

Cheng Ying thought, She is really into Wang Yao.

...

In the village, Lin Sitao and Hao were having a walk down the street. Lin Sitao had recovered faster than Hao. He was almost fine. However, Hao had recovered slowly. It would still take some time for him to fully recover.

“Shall we take a walk on Nanshan Hill?” Lin Sitao suggested.

“Good idea,” Hao said. “I haven’t been to the hills, especially that Nanshan Hill, since I came here.”

Lin Sitao had mentioned Nanshan Hill to him more than once. Hao had always wanted to take a look.

They followed the path on the hill from west to south. The windy road was relatively smooth. They walked slowly. No one was on the hills at this time of the day. Thirty minutes later, Nanshan Hill appeared in front of their eyes. The hill was covered by green trees and plants.

“Amazing,” Hao said with a sigh.

All the hills in the surrounding area were deserted except for Nanshan Hill, which was like an oasis in the desert.

“It is amazing,” Lin Sitao said.

As they got closer to Nanshan Hill, the path soon came to an end. The disorganized rocks blocked their way. The rocks were different sizes and heights. Some groups of rocks contained several rocks. Some contained a dozen. The lowest rock was about 3-feet tall.

Some of the rocks had existed on the hill for a long time. Some were transferred by Wang Yao from elsewhere when he had spare time. He initially wanted to use the existing rocks to build another battle array to block the entrance at the southwest side. This idea was inspired by the Stonehenge described in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which could block a big army. Zhuge Kongming almost trapped the talented captain Lu Xun from the east of the river.

Although Stonehenge was probably made up in the novel, it inspired Wang Yao.

In actuality, the rocks had already started to function as a battle array.

Hmm! Lin Sitao and Hao found something was wrong as they got closer to the rocks.

At the beginning, there were no rock in front of their eyes. They were only on both sides. However, they soon saw rocks in front of them, as well as on both sides. This place is weird!

“Uncle Lin?” Hao was confused.

“This place is strange,” Lin Sitao said. He remembered clearly that there were not many rocks the last time he had been there. “This should be a battle array set up by Dr. Wang.”

He had witnessed the amazing effect of the Hallucination Battle Array outside the herbal field the other time he visited. These disorganized rocks had a similar effect.

“How can we pass this place?” Hao asked.

“Walk straight ahead,” Lin Sitao said.

He walked ahead of Hao. When he came across a rock in front, he walked toward the rock and touched it. If it was a real rock, he would cross over it and continue to walk. Hao just followed him.

Hmm? Lin Sitao suddenly stopped.

“What’s wrong?” Hao asked.

“There is a rock here,” Lin Sitao said. He couldn’t see it, but he could feel a rock in front of him.

Looking down from a high position, this area was not big. There were not many rocks. However, the two of them walked back and forth and couldn’t find the way out. It took them great effort to get out of the area full of disorganized rocks. By the time they got out, both of them were sweating.

“Scary!” Hao turned around and looked at the ordinary looking rocks. One had to experience certain things to know how significant it was.

“Yes,” Lin Sitao said with a sigh. “Dr. Wang is really a talented person.”

They continued to walk. They soon arrived outside the herbal field.

“Don’t look at the trees.” Lin Sitao had already warned Hao.

However, Hao was too curious not to look at the trees. While he was still quite a few feet away from the herbal field, he looked up at the trees. He thought he was still fairly far from the herbal field. He saw the shaking and running trees, which appeared to be alive. He immediately felt dizzy.

Of course, he was not the only one feeling dizzy. Lin Sitao had the same feeling. Both of them were dizzy, palpitated, and nauseous. They felt weak. It was as if something had sucked up their strength.

How come?

The two of them were breathing hard, like there was not enough air around them or someone was holding their throat.

What’s going on? Where are the bugs from?

They suddenly saw a number of bugs, horrible bugs, which looked like centipedes but with wings. The bugs were flying toward them.

“Go away!” Hao shouted.

They wanted to move but were frozen on the spot. It was like they were locked by chains.

Dr. Wang! They wanted to scream but couldn’t make any sound.

Woof! Woof! Woof! They heard a dog barking in the herbal field. It was very loud. It almost sound like it came from a lion or tiger.

Someone’s here. Wang Yao looked out through the window. He had stayed on Nanshan Hill in the morning to prepare herbs. Since he had gotten all the herbs ready for Connection ointment, he wanted to brew the decoction.

Plump! Plump! Lin Sitao and Hao fell on the ground. They were short of breath.

When they had the feeling that they were about to pass out, someone came to them and gave them something to drink. They soon felt normal again. They looked up and saw Wang Yao.

“Dr. Wang,” Lin Sitao said.

“What brings you guys here?” Wang Yao asked with a smile.

He had come out of the cottage after hearing San Xian barking. He then saw Lin Sitao and Hao lying on the ground. He knew it was because of Xianqiuluo. With the effect of the Spirit Gathering Battle Array, Xianqiuluo’s smell could travel far. Whoever smelt it would feel weak, short of breath, and start to hallucinate. They could stop breathing and die if they were seriously affected.

He took the antidote out to give Lin Sitao and Hao to take. The effects of Xianqiuluo were soon gone.

“We were just having a walk on the hill, then we arrived here. We were trapped by those rocks. It took us a long while to get out earlier. Now, we came across this. If you didn’t save us, we would possibly die here,” Lin Sitao said. “You are such a talented person.”

“Sorry about that. The rocks trapped you?” Wang Yao asked.

“Yes, for some time,” Lin Sitao said.

“I see. I set it up when I have spare time. I didn’t expect it to work,” Wang Yao said.

“We were lucky to get out of that place. If someone else went inside accidentally, they would be in big trouble,” Lin Sitao said.

“You are right,” Wang Yao said. He didn’t continue with the Stonehenge. He was worried that he might hurt innocent people. He didn’t expect a half-completed battle array could be more powerful than he had ever imagined.

He didn’t invite Lin Sitao and Hao into the herbal field. He just showed them around Nanshan Hill.

Hao took another look at the Hallucination Battle Array and felt dizzy again.

Astonishing! He decided not to look at those trees anymore.

Lin Sitao and Hao left Nanshan Hill after walking around briefly. Wang Yao continued to brew the decoction in his herbal field.

“I didn’t expect those things truly existed,” Hao said after he had left Nanshan Hill. He talked much more than he normally did.

“Did you only sense the battle arrays? Haven’t you felt anything else?” Lin Sitao asked.

“Anything else?” Hao was confused.

“You didn’t feel the change of temperature?” Lin Sitao asked.

“Oh, yes!” It suddenly occurred to Hao that he felt nice and warm when he was on Nanshan Hill. It was very comfortable on the hill. He felt much colder after left it.
