“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 .
