Summary

The chapter describes a serene forest setting with a river and vast fields of medicinal herbs, particularly focusing on 'Chongcao Wu', which is vital for medicinal concoctions.

Despite the harsh conditions and their background as former mountain bandits, Shan Zhu's family supports Chu Tian, emphasizing the camaraderie among them. Shan Zhu's father encourages Chu Tian to soak up the sun for healing, reflecting their simple yet hopeful outlook on life at the Medicine King Gate, where they find better living conditions than in their village. Chu Tian, however, feels trapped in his situation, knowing that the herbs around him won't alleviate his struggles.
