Miracle in Shennong's Forest: A Tale of Love, Determination, and Healing

Shennong was moved by the story of Fu Bao's grandfather's kindness and selflessness. His own mission of gathering herbs to aid others made him empathize deeply with the old man's plight.

Furthermore, Fu Bao's earnest plea and adorable demeanor made it difficult for Shennong to refuse her request.

Ultimately, he agreed to help, but with a condition.

"Let's make a deal," Shennong proposed. "In exchange for my hundred herbs Liquid, I ask for your blessing. As a little lucky star, can you grant me good luck? I need it to find the specific herb I've been searching for. Despite my efforts, I haven't been able to locate it."

Fu Bao's eyes sparkled with hope. "Uncle, just tell me what you need!"

"I need good luck charms," Shennong explained. "Draw me a few, will you?"

Fu Bao's eyes shimmered with gratitude and excitement. "Thank you so much, Uncle Shennong! I'll make sure to deliver this to my grandfather right away!"

With the promise of hundred herbs liquid, Fu Bao felt a surge of hope for her grandfather's recovery.

Shennong nodded with a smile. "Remember, use it wisely. It's potent medicine."

Fu Bao nodded eagerly, clutching the bottle tightly. "I will! Thank you again, Uncle Shennong!"

With that, Fu Bao bid farewell to Shennong and Old Fuxing, her heart brimming with determination to save her grandfather. She returned to the mortal world, carrying the precious hundred herbs liquid and the hope of her family's future.

"Can I have more bottles, Uncle Shennong?" Fu Bao asked with hopeful eyes.

"No chance! This medicine is incredibly hard to produce. It's nearly as precious as the elixir of Supreme Lord Lao! It took me centuries to craft just three bottles. I've already given you one. What more could you possibly want? You mustn't push your luck!"

"Thank you so much, Uncle Shennong!" Fu Bao exclaimed happily. "With this good luck charm, you'll surely come across the exact herbs you need, and they'll practically find their way to you!"

Shennong was momentarily puzzled by Fu Bao's words.

"Herbs finding their way to me? How peculiar," he thought.

Accepting the good luck charm from Old Fuxing, Shennong watched as Fu Bao departed and then resumed his search for medicinal plants. Soon after, he spotted several herbs not far ahead, causing his eyes to widen in surprise.

"Could it be... that's the thousand-year wild ginseng?" Shennong's eyes widened in astonishment. This was the very herb he had been seeking!

The wild ginseng, having absorbed abundant spiritual energy over centuries, had become akin to a fairy. The tiny doll-like ginsengs bounced around energetically, circling Shennong without him needing to reach out. They seemed almost eager to be gathered.

Shennong couldn't contain his joy. He had never expected to stumble upon such a treasure!

Meanwhile, within the Mind Space, time flowed at a different pace compared to the Celestial Realm. It moved much slower, affording Fu Bao ample time to act.

As they journeyed towards the county seat with Old Man Li on the bullock cart, Fu Bao regained consciousness. Despite the doctor's grim prognosis that there was little hope for Old Man Li's survival, she refused to give up. Even the slimmest chance of saving him was worth pursuing, even if it meant pleading with the doctors at the county hospital and begging on her knees.

While Grandma wiped away her tears and Li Xiaolei looked ahead, Fu Bao seized the moment. With determination in her eyes, she reached out her little hand, gently opened Old Man Li's mouth, and swiftly administered the herbal liquid from the small bottle.
