Unexpectedly, the sage apothecary busted
out laughing after hearing her words, “Good disciple! Very ambitious! And just
like that we have removed that old thing’s title as a miracle healer! From now
out the two of us, master and disciple, sage apothecary and miracle healer,
will dominate the world! HA HA HA HA HA!!!”

“Tsk! What’s the big deal?” As far as
apothecary skills go, Gu Ye knew she was as good as anyone else. The only
problem was that the potions and powder that she had developed didn’t belong to
this world, so she couldn’t produce and use them.
“Eh?” Anyone else would come rushing over
covered in tears of joy with those words. This girl had nothing but a look of
contempt. That was unexpected!
“So you are a sage apothecary just
because you said so? Anyone can say that. And I am telling you that I am a
miracle healer!” Gu Ye still felt that his appearance right here was very odd;
naturally she wouldn’t just take his words for it.
“Who’s your disciple? What is master and
disciple with you?” Gu Ye rolled her eyes. Shouldn’t a sage apothecary be
otherworldly, sanctimonious, and enigmatic? Then why was this old man in front
of her acted just like a old big kid and didn’t exude a shred of seriousness?
Was he a fake?
The sage apothecary seemed to have read
her mind. He struggled to get up and limbed a couple steps toward her before he
said to her, “Okay, so you don’t believe me, right? Take a look at this huang
jing (no English translation) made from my very own secret recipe. You
won’t find a second place that can produce huang jing that are as
effective as mine!” That darn kid Yin Mei, he kicked me for real! My ankle was
swollen for sure!

The sage apothecary was quite proud of
his apothecary skills. One must know that the medicines that he made were well
sought after in the market; sometimes one couldn’t even buy them even if they
were willing to pay top dollars for them. Medicines made by a good apothecary could
retain all of its efficacies and the results could be witnessed by all
Gu Ye reached over and took the pack of huang
jing from him. She picked up a small slice, put it in her mouth and chewed
before spitting it back out and said, “What secret recipe? That’s just your
everyday ‘9 steam and 9 dried’ method. Everybody on earth knew that!”
The sage apothecary’s eyes widened and he
looked bewildered. Stuttering, he said, “How… how you do know about my secret
recipe? I haven’t even taught that to your First Shi Xiong yet! And what
is this “earth” you speak of? Are all earthlings master apothecaries?”
“Ugh… I haven’t said I will take you as
my master yet, how would I have a First Shi Xiong?” Gu Ye shoved the huang
jing back into the old man’s chest, turned around, picked up her own
medicine basket and was about to walk away.
“Wait… little girl! Don’t go!” The sage
apothecary wanted to chase after her, but the injury on his feet was too
painful. He almost fell and sustained even more injury.
Since he wasn’t going to be able to catch
up to her, he decided against chasing after her. He plopped down on the ground
and shouted out loudly, “Little girl, I was only going to make an exception and
take you as my last disciple because you seemed to have talents in this area
and the foundation of recognizing herbs. You better think twice about this, the
disciple of the sage apothecary could walk sideways anywhere in the world of
apothecary and will be well respected by all. Even the wealthy and nobles will
be respectful to a master apothecary….”
Not too far from them, Yin Mei and Yin Ba
exchanged a look. They never expected there would exist someone who’d decline the
opportunity to be the disciple of the sage apothecary. If it was anyone else,
just a few pointers from the sage apothecary would be beneficial to them for
life. Yet this girl was just throwing this golden opportunity out the window.
If others find out, she would no doubt be drowned in spit!
Suddenly a great idea occurred to Gu Ye
and she slowed down in her walk. Oh right! This would be the perfect excuse for
her! As long as she could find good explanation for the source and products of
her own apothecary skills, why did it matter if he was truly a sage apothecary
or not? She had nothing to use!
