The female doctor who had been called “sister” felt quite pleased. She was in her thirties, and being called “sister” by such a beautiful young girl certainly made her happy. She took the prescription from Gu Yingying’s hands and noticed that it was filled with common Chinese herbs likely for beauty and skincare, though there were quite a few different types of ingredients.

“These medicines are all available in our pharmacy.” She said, “but they aren’t cheap. Do you have the money with you? I’ll take you to the payment counter. Once you pay, someone will help you get the medicines.”

As they walked toward the payment area, the doctor explained that Chinese prescriptions were usually very specific, and only prescriptions from a licensed doctor could be filled. However, the herbs on Gu Yingying’s list were all harmless and had beauty-enhancing effects, so they could be sold freely without issue.

Soon, they reached the payment counter. Gu Yingying decided to start by buying fifty sets of the prescribed medicines. Since each prescription added up to over a thousand yuan, purchasing fifty sets was a large order, which surprised the female doctor. It quickly became clear that this was a big customer.

“Little sister, are you buying all of this for your family?”

The doctor asked making sure to clarify the situation. After all, if the child’s family came looking for trouble, it could get awkward.

“Yes, Sister, I’m currently learning to make Chinese medicine pills, so I want to buy some herbs to make them myself. Is that alright?” Gu Yingying replied, a bit nervously. She had the money, but what if there was a problem with the medicine?

When the doctor heard that Gu Yingying wanted to make pills, she wasn’t surprised. In traditional Chinese medicine, making pills from herbs was considered a very wasteful use of medicine. With fifty sets of herbs, she likely wouldn’t be able to make many pills, and since these herbs were all for beauty, they weren’t harmful.

“Of course, no problem. Since you’re buying so much, our hospital offers a discount.” The doctor said with a smile.

The total cost for the prescription was over 1,300 yuan per set, and with fifty sets, it amounted to more than 60,000 yuan. This was the kind of bulk order usually given to clinics.

“Really? Thank you, Sister!” Gu Yingying immediately looked at the female doctor with gratitude. Although she had five million yuan, money didn’t last forever, so it was always best to save whenever possible.

With Gu Yingying’s sweet words, constantly calling her “Sister,” not only did she get the medicines for just 60,000 yuan, but the doctor also promised to deliver them directly to her villa. Gu Yingying even exchanged contact details, leaving the doctor her phone number and WeChat, saying she would come back to buy more Chinese medicine in the future.

The pharmacy’s young worker unloaded a large cart of herbs at the villa, following Gu Yingying’s instructions. Upon seeing how wealthy this young girl was, he quickly unloaded everything into the villa’s storage area, where Gu Yingying planned to refine the medicine in the future.

After the pharmacy workers left, Gu Yingying eagerly went to the kitchen and pulled out two large pots. That’s right—since she didn’t have an alchemy furnace, she decided to use pressure cookers for the time being to refine the medicine!

Carrying the pots to the storage area, Gu Yingying laid out the materials she needed. Although the process was time-consuming she was happy as she worked. It felt just like the joy she had found in Anlan Continent.

After preparing the ingredients, she placed them into the pressure cookers. Standing nervously in front, her hands quickly formed the Medicine Sect’s gesture in front of her chest, murmuring words of incantation. As she pointed at the pressure cooker with her slender, graceful fingers, a wisp of pink smoke swiftly entered the cooker causing it to start spinning rapidly.

This was her first time refining medicine in the modern world, and Gu Yingying was anxious. After five minutes, she withdrew her hands, and the pressure cooker landed on the ground, she hurried over and opened it.

Inside the cooker, instead of raw herbs, there were more than twenty pink pills, each one a beautiful, rosy color. They looked particularly lovely, and their effects would be even better.

These were beauty-enhancing pills called Huan Yan Dan, which, as the name suggested, gave the user a radiant, glowing appearance. Long-term use would improve the skin making it more vibrant and lustrous.

Gu Yingying pinched one of the pink pills and popped it into her mouth. It had a sweet taste, and a satisfied smile spread across her face.

“Success!”

Gu Yingying quickly grabbed the small porcelain bottle she had prepared earlier and placed the pink pills inside. She planned to give a bottle to Gu Xuezheng when she went to school the day after tomorrow. Xuezheng’s skin had become rough from years of doing household chores, but with Huan Yan Dan, her skin would definitely improve over time.

In the past, Gu Yingying had been fascinated by the idea of using medicine to enhance beauty which had puzzled her sect. After all, in the strength-based world of Anlan Continent, lacking power meant death but now, in the modern city, Gu Yingying thought this was actually a great thing.

Besides Huan Yan Dan, she had many other pills that could enhance beauty! Once she sold these pills, wouldn’t that be a great source of income?

Dreaming of a future where she could rise to the top of life by selling medicine, Gu Yingying excitedly spent the entire afternoon refining the herbs. She turned an entire warehouse of herbs into pink pills. Since she had to take the pills every day anyway, she didn’t see anything wrong with making so many. By the end of the afternoon, she had over two thousand Huan Yan Dan. At first, the pill yield had been low, but as she got the hang of it, the success rate improved, and she felt more confident.

Now that she had the pills, of course, she wanted to share them!

With newfound courage, Gu Yingying finally opened the WeChat chat her older brother, Ji Ran, had left her, and sent a message.

[Xiaoyinghua]: Brother Ji Ran, I made some delicious sugar-coated beans. Do you want to try them?]
