Next few days, Wei Zhao and volunteers worked tirelessly to keep the village safe from any incoming beast attacks. They spent their days scouting the area for any signs of danger and fortifying the village's defenses. Wei Zhao used the system to scout for beasts but they only found a few levels 8-9 beasts.
As Wei Zhao continued to cultivate at night, work as a beast tracking volunteer in the morning, and search for herbs in the forest in the afternoon, he began to notice a significant improvement in his cultivation level. His body was becoming stronger and his senses were becoming sharper.
But currently, Wei Zhao is facing a problem, Wei Zhao found many herbs with healing properties in the forest anyone can find those herbs in the forest, but they can't identify the effects like the system. If they used those herbs in raw form in the village contribution system people won't take them seriously.
"If we used the herbs as it is in the contributions system, and said those herbs have healing properties, Cultivators will turn angry mob at us." Wei Zhao thought. Those herbs are just too common in the forest.
Wei decided to create a medicine liquid with herbs as people won't be able to identify what herbs were used to create them," Also medicine liquid can give off a mysterious feeling which can bring more cultivators to the village" Wei Zhao planned by himself.
Next several days,
Wei Zhao spent experimenting with the different herbs he had collected from the forest. He tried different combinations and proportions, trying to find the perfect balance that would yield the most potent healing properties.
He also began to notice the effects of the healing liquid he had created. It had a calming effect on the body and helped to heal wounds quickly. He decided to test it on himself and was amazed at how quickly his injuries healed. the system helped a lot in this too. He was able to see the stats of the liquid through the system to figure out a way to make it better.
"I can be called the father of alchemy in this world now, right!" Wei Zhao exclaimed. He was really happy as he held a glass bottle. He revived those from the system after killing low-level Beasts doing volunteer work of beast searching along with other miscellaneous items.
"Create stats for Forest Healing Elixir", Wei Zhao told the system.

Wei Zhao used a combination of several herbs to create the healing liquid. The herbs he used included:

He carefully measured and combined these herbs, crushing them into a fine powder and adding them to a base of water and the best honey. After boiling the mixture and allowing it to cool, he strained it through a fine cloth to remove any remaining plant matter, resulting in a clear, amber-colored liquid that had a slightly sweet and earthy aroma.
"I went to drink this even while being fully healthy, " Wei Zhao drank as he talked to himself. Wei Zhao went out of his house to Liu Hao's house.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Liu Hoa's house is not far from Wei Zhao's house, As he got close to the house he saw Liu Hao's mother cooking in the outside kitchen.
Liu Hao's mother is a kind and hardworking woman who raised her two children on her own after her husband passed away while hunting. Liu Hao was yet to show his cultivation talent, Despite the difficulties, she managed to provide for her family by working as a seamstress and selling her handmade clothes in the village market. She is proud of her son's talent in cultivation and is always supportive of his endeavors.
Liu Hao's younger sister is a sweet and playful girl who is nine years old. Liu Hao's younger sister's name is Liu Mei. She looks up to Wei Zhao and admires him for his knowledge and skills. Liu Mei feels that her brother, Liu Hao, is not as talented as Wei Zhao and often compares him to Wei Zhao, which makes Liu Hao feel inadequate and creates problems with Wei Zhao. Liu Hao tries his best to impress his sister, but she seems to be more interested in Wei Zhao's company. Despite this, Liu Hao loves his sister and wants her to be proud of him.
"Hello, Wei Gege!" Liu Mei greeted him excitedly. "What brings you here today?"
Wei Zhao chuckled at her enthusiasm. "I just wanted to stop by and say hello. How are you, little one?"
"I'm good!" she replied, grinning from ear to ear. "I'm almost done with my practice for today."
Wei Zhao turned to Liu Hao's mother. "Mrs. Liu, is there anything I can help you with?"
From Wei Zhao's memories He knows, Wei Zhao would come to their house often for dinner, She treats him like her own son, and when Wei Zhao was little she and her husband also looked after him. Wei Zhao was really grateful to this family and wanted to do something for them.
Liu Hao's mother smiled, "Actually, could you help me chop some vegetables for dinner? Liu Hao is usually the one who helps me, but he's practicing in the backyard."
"Of course, I'd be happy to help," Wei Zhao replied, rolling up his sleeves and taking a seat at the kitchen table. As he worked, he chatted with Mrs. Liu and Liu Hao's sister, sharing stories.
As they were chatting Liu Hao came back from his sword practice.
"Hey, Liu Hao, you came just in time, we were about to have dinner without you", Said Wei Zhao jokingly.
Liu Hao smiled as he sits at the dining table. Wei helps carry all the dishes with food before sitting down. Everyone sits down and starts eating.
Wei asked, "How are you doing?"
Liu Hao, "I'm doing well, thank you for asking. It's good to see you again."
Wei Zhao said, " I brought a gift for you Unity. It's a Forest Healing Elixir that I made using some herbs from the forest. I heard you are been having back pain, so I thought this might help."
Liu Hao's mother said " Oh!, thank you so much, Wei. You didn't have to do that."
Wei Zhao replied, "It's my pleasure, please try it and let me know if it helps."
Liu Mei said excitedly, "Can I try it too, Wei? I want to see if it works!"
Liu Hao said, "You're too young to have back pain, little sis."
Liu Mei pouting, "That's not fair, Wei is always giving you gifts and talking to you. I want gifts too."
Wei Zhao said, "Of course, we can be friends, little one. Here, let me give you a gift too."
He hands her a small wooden figurine he carved from a piece of wood he found in the forest.
Liu Mei excitedly spouted, " Thank you, Wei Gege!, It's so pretty."
Liu Hao's mother said " You're too kind, Wei. You always think of others before yourself."
Wei Zhao smiling "It's nothing, really. I just want to help however I can."
After dinner, Liu Hao's mother tried the Elixer, as she did vitality wished over her. Liu Hao's mother was surprised at how effective the Forest Healing Elixir was. "This is amazing, Wei Zhao! My back pain has been bothering me for years, but this elixir seems to have cured it completely. How did you come up with this?"
Wei Zhao smiled. "It's a secret recipe, Mrs. Liu. I've been experimenting with different herbs and ingredients to create something that's both effective and unique. I plan on using it as a currency for the village contributions system."
Liu Hao's little sister, Mei, looked up at Wei Zhao in awe. "Wow, you're so cool, Wei Gege! You're going to be a famous cultivator someday, right?"
Wei Zhao chuckled. "Maybe, Mei. But it takes a lot of hard work and dedication to become a cultivator. Even without cultivation, everyone has their own strengths and talents that they can contribute to the village."
Liu Hao said " We're lucky to have you in our village, Wei. You're always doing good for others. I heard you have been given the title search king of the beasts by the volunteer search team and now this Elixer."
