The younger sister mistakenly identified her brother when visiting relatives and was kissed by the c

The seed counter was also a holographic screen, displaying various plant seeds and seedlings in categories. Qiao Xinxin typed "blood coagulation grass" into the search box, and the screen immediately flashed, displaying a row of seeds in small glass bottles with white labels on them, indicating the name and quantity of the seeds.

"Blood-clotting grass seeds, buy! Green spirit vine seeds, buy!"

Qiao Xinxin muttered to herself as her fingers flew across the screen. In addition to these two items, she also bought seeds for three other auxiliary medicinal herbs used in the preparation of the medicine, enough to plant an entire large field.

At this moment, another line of green notification text popped up on the screen:

"The host has been detected to have purchased the relevant seeds. Do you wish to activate the planting guidance function immediately?"

"Yes, hurry up!" Qiao Xinxin hurriedly poked it.

A 3D planting diagram immediately appeared on the screen, clearly indicating the optimal sowing depth, row spacing, watering frequency, and light requirements for each type of seed using dotted lines and text.

Qiao Xinxin had an excellent memory. She went through the information twice in her mind and memorized it firmly. Then, carrying the heavy bag of seeds and the book "Ancient Prescriptions, New Methods", she turned around and walked quickly out of the shopping mall building.

Arriving at the patch of black soil that had already been cultivated in the space, she directly used the space's automatic planting function to plant the seeds.

"...You guys need to grow up quickly."

Qiao Xinxin muttered to herself as she worked with utmost seriousness.

Once these medicinal seeds are developed, my brothers will have an extra layer of protection if they get injured!

After finishing her work, Qiao Xinxin walked to the spring, scooped up a handful of cool spring water to wash the dirt off her hands, and then gulped down several mouthfuls of the spring water.

The sweet spring water slid down my throat, and my body, which had been sore and tired from working, was instantly invigorated. Even the slight soreness in my fingertips disappeared without a trace.

She stayed in the space for a while longer, sitting on the grass and flipping through a few pages of the book "Ancient Prescriptions, New Methods," memorizing the harvesting and processing methods of Blood Clotting Grass and Green Spirit Vine until she knew them by heart. Only then did she leave the space with a thought.

Back in her somewhat shady little room, Qiao Xinxin was utterly exhausted after all that commotion. She burrowed into bed, pulled the covers up, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

……

For the next two days, Qiao Xinxin was like she was possessed. Whenever she had free time, she would make an excuse to rest, go into her room, lock the door, and then immerse herself in her virtual space.

She lay on the small wooden table in the room and copied down all the dozen or so useful prescriptions from "Ancient Prescriptions with New Methods".

From how to quickly stop bleeding and promote tissue regeneration in the wild, to how to detoxify and remove blood stasis without tools, she meticulously marked each prescription with the name of the medicinal materials, dosage, processing method, and storage conditions in her elegant handwriting, for fear of missing a single word.

Meanwhile, in that patch of black soil, the Blood Clotting Grass and the Green Spirit Vine had already sprouted. According to the book, their growth cycle is about ten days. Currently, only two tender green cotyledons have just emerged from the shiny black soil; it will be quite a few days before harvest.

As for the auxiliary medicinal materials used in the prescription, Qiao Xinxin went to the state-run pharmacy in the county town two days ago to inquire about them. The old doctor who dispensed the medicine wore reading glasses, turned the drawers under the counter upside down, and finally shook his head, saying that he had been a traditional Chinese medicine doctor all his life and had never even heard of these medicine names.

Qiao Xinxin had no choice but to buy seeds from the space store and plant them in the space's soil, hoping they would grow quickly.

Meanwhile, on the southwestern border, thousands of miles away...

"Splash—"

The torrential rain poured down relentlessly, as if the sky had collapsed, drenching the entire primeval forest in a misty haze. Gale-force winds whipped the raindrops against the leaves, creating a terrifying roar.

Lu Baizhou stood upright under a large banyan tree, letting the icy rain stream down his resolute face and chin. His training uniform was already soaked through, clinging tightly to his body and outlining the contours of his strong, muscular body.

He didn't even blink, his eyes fixed on the military map in his hand, a corner of which was already soaked by the rain, his brows furrowed into a knot.

"Old Lu! This damn weather is absolutely awful!"

A shout, accompanied by heavy breathing, pierced through the rain.

Bai Zhengyuan trudged through the ankle-deep mud, hurrying over. He wiped the rain from his face and shouted impatiently:

"The mountain road below has completely collapsed! The brothers have to use machetes to carve a path through the mountains. Several soldiers have worn their fingers raw, and our marching speed is almost a third slower than we expected!"

Zhou Liguang emerged from the nearby bushes at that moment. He was covered in even more mud than Bai Zhengyuan, his military cap pulled low, and his face appeared somewhat pale from the rain, but his eyes were as cold as knives.

"These foreign militants are incredibly cunning. They know the terrain well, and this heavy rain has washed away all their footprints and traces. We've been trekking through these deep mountains and forests for four days. If we can't stop them now, they'll really slip across the border once they cross that river!"

Lu Baizhou slammed the map shut, his knuckles turning slightly white from the force. He slammed his fist heavily against the rough trunk of the banyan tree, causing the raindrops on the canopy to splash down with a loud "whoosh."

He raised his head, his sharp, eagle-like eyes filled with icy killing intent, his voice hoarse yet carrying an undeniable force:

"They're not getting away! I'll turn this mountain upside down and nail these bastards to our border! Send the order down: everyone, check your equipment, and move on!"

These foreign armed militants are like wild monkeys in the forest.

They had been roaming and entrenched in this area for who knows how long, and knew every gully and every bush like the back of their hand. When the group moved through the forest, they spread out, carefully clearing away the weeds and branches they stepped on, leaving very few traces, their cunning making one grit their teeth.

Three days ago, in the afternoon, Lu Baizhou personally led the elite team to search the forest. They finally discovered what appeared to be the ruins of a camp halfway up the mountain, but by the time they trudged over, the fire on the ground had long been extinguished by the torrential rain, leaving only a few piles of black ashes and a few gnawed pieces of wild animal bones. The men had already packed up and moved on.

"Damn it, we're too slow again!" The soldiers of the Sharp Knife Team stomped their feet in anger.
