It was dawn when Gu Beiyue and Qin Min arrived at Shen Nong Valley. The rising sun drove away the cold night, and the wind that blew against their faces was so cool that it made them instantly sober up. Qin Min and Ming Chen were still sleeping soundly in the carriage when Gu Beiyue got off.

At the entrance of the God Nong Valley, the old deacon and the Lord of the Crazy Valley had been waiting for a long time. Although they had never seen Gu Beiyue before, they could still tell at a glance that the white clothed man walking towards them was Imperial Tutor Gu. The descriptions that Gu Qishao and Yan'er gave them were the same. Tutor Gu was the most suitable person in the world for white clothes!

The two of them stepped forward at the same time, extremely happy. There were two reasons for such joy. Firstly, they had toyed with Gu Qishao for more than half a month and had almost lost their lives, impatient to change their master. Secondly, Gu Beiyue was the most orthodox descendant of their original owner, Gu Yunyuan, after the Gu family. If he were to take over Shennong Valley, the two of them would be the most convinced. Gu Beiyue hadn't seen the old deacon or crazy old man before, but he recognized them at a glance. The old deacon and the crazy old man hurriedly bowed.

The old deacon said respectfully, "Your subordinate, Chief Deacon Tian, greets the new Valley Master!"

The crazy old man was also very respectful. He was under the command of Hong Wangyang, the deputy deacon of the Shennong Valley. He had come to greet the new valley master!

There is no need for the two seniors to be so formal, please rise.

Gu Beiyue was modest and gentle, but his faint smile gave others a feeling of being easy to approach, but not easy to get close to. Deacon Tian and Deacon Hong were both equal. Deacon Tian hurriedly said, "Valley Master, I believe the Madam and Young Master are still sleeping. The wind here is strong, so let's hurry and enter the valley."

Gu Beiyue nodded and returned to the carriage.

After passing through a valley path between two mountains, what entered his sight was an enormous bronze statue of Shennong that towered into the skies. It was winter, and the plants were withered. The medicinal fields of the God Shennong Valley were desolate. However, the bronze statue's body was still wrapped in dense, verdant vines. Gu Beiyue, who was sitting outside the car, looked up and couldn't help but feel a sense of awe. Just like Yan'er, he only saw a few kinds of medicinal vines, and he didn't recognize any of the higher plants.

Even during the winter, the trading of medicinal herbs in Shennong Valley had always been very lively. Unfortunately, Gu Qishao wasn't short on money and despised trouble at the same time. He'd closed down all the herb markets in Shen Nong Valley, so he'd kept the auction and bounty stands open. Fortunately, after recovering his zhen qi, the demand for medicinal pills had greatly increased and the demand for ordinary medicinal herbs had greatly decreased. Otherwise, the entrance to Shen Nong Valley would have been the same as the entrance to Pill Demon Valley, full of people!

The auction house and auction house had been merged by Gu Qishao into the western mountains. The Eastern Mountain auction house had been converted into a teahouse, while the southern mountain had been transformed into three palaces. As for the medicinal herb market in the valley, half of it was converted into a pill concocting room while the other half was used to expand the academy.

It had to be said that Gu Qishao being a steward was a waste of his time. He had arranged everything for Gu Beiyue and Qin Min so that even the prescription for Gu Beiyue's medicine and Qin Min's garden were completely empty.

The mountain road was steep, and the carriage could not get on, so he had to take a palanquin. The carriage stopped at the foot of the southern mountain. Gu Beiyue peered inside and saw Qin Min and Ming Chen sleeping soundly. He carefully carried Ming Chen to the palanquin. When he turned around, he saw that Qin Min was already rubbing her eyes.

He smiled faintly. Did I wake you?

Qin Min had slept late last night and was still drowsy. If she was alone and didn't wake up to see Ming Chen, she would have panicked long ago. However, with Gu Beiyue around, she felt at ease. She woke up and said, We're here? Where's Ming Chen?

Gu Beiyue replied, "We've reached the southern foot of the mountain. Ming Chen is still sleeping, so I carried her in the sedan chair." You get out of the car, too.

Qin Min seemed to have thought of something and was stunned. She hurriedly got off the car. Qin Min and Ming Chen carried a sedan chair while Gu Beiyue walked with Deacon Tian. The group ascended the southern mountain in the early morning sunlight. After settling down in the morning and having breakfast, the weather had become warmer. The old deacon and Deacon Tian then shared with Gu Beiyue a report on the situation in Shen Nong Valley. However, Gu Beiyue pushed this matter back. He wanted to make a trip to Medicine God Valley to pay his respects to Gu Yunyuan.

The two deacons wanted to accompany her, but Gu Beiyue tactfully refused. After the two deacons left, Gu Beiyue said to Qin Min, "There are many good places in this valley. When Ming Chen wakes up, take him for a walk." You don't have to wait for me for lunch.

Qin Min nodded and accompanied him to the main entrance. She hesitated for a moment before calling out to him. Gu Beiyue!

Gu Beiyue turned around, but he didn't remember Qin Min calling him by name ever since. It had to be said, this didn't seem like Qin Min's style at all. However, when he saw her earnest expression, he did not feel that it was against his will. He smiled and asked, What's the matter?

Qin Min smiled as she asked, "Can I go with you?"

The two deacons said escort, but she didn't say the word, she said one. One meaning was that she wanted to go as well, so it was clear that she wouldn't give him the chance to refuse.

He didn't know if Gu Beiyue could tell what Qin Min was thinking, but he didn't refuse. He replied, "Okay."

Qin Min instructed a servant to take care of Ming Chen before she left with Gu Beiyue in the direction of Medicine God Valley. The Medicine God Valley is located at the back of the Valley of the Divine Nong, and can be reached through the secret passage behind the Valley of the Divine Nong.

After so many months had passed, the Medicine God Valley had been constructed according to Qin Mo's painting. It had returned to its original state as it was a thousand years ago. The only difference was that the herb fields on the stairs were still empty, without any herbs, while the waterfall beside the cliff was still dry.

Gu Beiyue and Qin Min stood in the herb fields at the mountainside, surveying the entire valley. Gu Beiyue's brows knitted slightly, as if he was deep in thought. Qin Min said, "In the spring of next year, the seedlings will be planted. No matter what, it will take two to three years before they can be restored to their original state." Why don't you leave it to me?

Surprised, Gu Beiyue turned to look back. You're alone?

Qin Min cast him a sidelong glance and said, "Even if I had ten hands, I wouldn't be able to do so much work." When the time came, he could choose a dozen or so disciples to come to Shen Nong Valley's medicine academy.

Gu Beiyue explained, "It's up to you. As long as you like it."

Qin Min was slightly surprised, but she soon joked, "When did you become so easy to negotiate with?"

Gu Beiyue hadn't expected Qin Min to say this. He looked at her, unsure of how to reply. Qin Min didn't make things difficult for him. Still smiling, she said, "Come, let's go up the mountain."

Qin Min walked in front, and Gu Beiyue quickly caught up with her. He didn't continue the previous topic. As they walked up the mountain, the wind grew colder and colder. Gu Beiyue stopped Qin Min and so forth.

He took off his cloak and helped Qin Min put it on, then carefully tied the straps for her. The two of them were very close, and Qin Min could smell the unique medicinal fragrance from his body. It was a familiar smell; she could feel his even breathing, but it was something she wasn't familiar with.

Gu Beiyue tied the tape and backed away. Are you warm? he asked.

Qin Min hesitated for a moment before she shook her head …
