Actually, these are the finished products. Perhaps my father was deceived by the taste and momentarily thought he had failed.

Using herbs with spiritual energy to make prescriptions, in fact, they all look pitch black. Only a few display special colors.

Because herbs have internal spiritual power, their taste is amplified by spiritual energy during the refining process, making them extremely pungent.

This is all normal and not a foul smell. Experienced physicians are well aware of this.

"How should I remind Dad...?"

Little Yuehan muttered, her pink little hand placed on her lips, quietly contemplating.

"Little girl, go back to the house with your mother."

"Your father is in a sorry state now, let's not make fun of him."

Gu Qingxue covered her mouth and chuckled, intending to leave with her daughter.

Chu Qianqiu also shook his head with a smile and continued to be busy on his own.

"Well, Dad is going to refine something even more powerful later. Even a gas mask might be useless."

"You two should go and take cover..."

He lowered his head and, with a smile, wiped the black medicinal residue off his face with his arm, looking like a laborer who had just come out of a coal mine.

"Dad... I'll eat... look."

Little Yuehan had a sudden realization. In the blink of an eye, she rushed to her father's side, reached out her hand towards a porcelain bowl filled with "medicinal residue" on the ground, pinched a small piece of black residue, and put it in her mouth.

"What?!"

"That's the carefully refined Clear Heart Powder, used to treat the invasion of evil energy. Children shouldn't eat it randomly!"

"No, that's medicinal residue!"

Chu Qianqiu shouted and immediately turned his daughter's body upside down, shaking her frantically.

"Good daughter, spit it out quickly!"

He was anxious, even Qingxue approached anxiously, constantly scolding.

"Little girl, why did you eat something randomly?!"

"Husband, is there something wrong with eating this?"

"Um... I don't know. If it's a finished medicine, there shouldn't be a problem, but what I refined..."

Chu Qianqiu answered nervously, continuing to shake his daughter, trying to make her spit out what she had eaten.

Little Yuehan was about to faint from being shaken, but she refused to open her mouth.

It wasn't until a while later, fearing that she would be murdered by her own father and ruin her reputation as the Empress, that she finally opened her mouth.

"Dad, I'm fine..."

She said and was slowly put back on the ground.

Both parents stared at her, checking for any changes in her expression.

After a few seconds, Chu Qianqiu finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

"Oh my, it's a finished product!"

"It's fine."

He relaxed, and Gu Qingxue also relaxed her brows. The two of them looked at each other and then looked at their daughter.

"Dad, bye."

Seeing her own success, Little Yuehan finally smiled and happily ran back into the house.

Gu Qingxue gave her husband a look, a mix of encouragement and blame, and followed their daughter out.

After being dumbfounded for a while, Chu Qianqiu finally came back to his senses and looked at the several bowls of "medicinal residue" prepared to be discarded on the ground, feeling overjoyed.

"So, did I misjudge before? Are all of these finished products?"

"I've become a master pharmacist, is it really that simple?"

"I see, I'm a genius!"

From the outer courtyard came excited laughter.

Little Yuehan returned to the house and saw her father's hearty laughter, and she laughed along.

...

In the blink of an eye, another month passed.

Chu Qianqiu, with his fruitful results, pushed a small cart and arrived at Clear Pond Town, intending to help the world with his skills.

First of all, in this month, he has already attempted to refine more than ten basic prescriptions.

The prescriptions were wrapped in high-quality paper, with precise medicine names written on them to avoid confusion.

These medicines, if taken to the market, could fetch a great price.

However, considering that this is his first attempt at refining so many medicines, it is inevitable that there may be some problems.

What if he sells the medicine to someone and they end up dying from it?

Therefore, he pushed a small cart and planned to give away the medicine for free, anyone who volunteered to try it would receive it unconditionally.

Currently, no one in the Chu family is sick, everyone is full of energy and vitality.

As a result, he could only use a small cart to go to Clear Pond Town to promote it.

"Helping the world with a hanging pot, helping the world with a hanging pot!"

"Dear neighbors, elders, and fellow villagers, I have recently refined some medicinal materials to treat various difficult and miscellaneous illnesses. If I can't cure it, it's free, and if I can cure it, you can come and thank me."

"It's free for everyone, first come, first served, come and take a look."

With a mischievous smile, Chu Qianqiu walked on the street, pushing a cart. Those who didn't recognize him thought he was a swindler from somewhere.

"Oh... isn't this Young Master Chu from the Chu family?"

"No, he is already the head of the Chu family!"

"The head of the Chu family rarely goes out, I almost didn't recognize him."

People gradually gathered around Chu Qianqiu on the street.

These common people all knew the young man and had no taboos towards him. They had watched him grow up in the town.

Because of this, everyone also knew his character and was willing to get close to him, and some even took the initiative to approach him.

"Qianqiu, do you still recognize me? I'm Aunt Wang, the one who used to sing and make candied haws for you when you were a child."

A middle-aged woman holding a candied haw stick walked up.

Chu Qianqiu looked and found that it was Aunt Wang, whom he had known since childhood, and greeted her.

"Aunt Wang, long time no see, you still have your charm."

"By the way, have you remarried? Are you still single after all these years?"

Curiously, he asked, and Aunt Wang's face, which still had some charm, suddenly became embarrassed.

"You brat, Aunt Wang is old, who would still be interested in me?"

"By the way, are you going out to deliver medicine today? The smell of the herbs in your cart is really strong."

"It's even... a bit stinky."

Aunt Wang pinched her nose and said, although she wanted to give the young man face, the medicine packages in his cart were indeed too smelly.

The crowd gathered one after another, wanting to say something, but for a while, they covered their mouths and noses, unable to speak.

It wasn't until everyone took a few steps back that they started discussing.

"The head of the Chu family is actually giving away medicine, he's really a good person."

"But, the smell of this medicine is so strong, ten times stronger than what I usually see!"

"I understand, he is planning to become a physician, refining his own medicinal materials and giving them away today."

"We should help him test the medicine."

After reaching a conclusion, the crowd began to look at the medicine packages on the cart, feeling a bit hesitant.

Chu Qianqiu saw that although they were common people, they were not fools, so he straightforwardly explained.

"Everyone, that's indeed the case."

"I recently wanted to become a physician and refined some medicine."

"The reason why the taste of these medicines is so strong is because I used rare herbs and other precious materials, not the ordinary goods found in the market."

"If anyone in your family is suffering from an incurable disease and has no hope, you might as well try my prescriptions."

Chu Qianqiu said sincerely, every word filled with genuine intention.

Everyone looked at each other, still hesitant to reach out.

Among them, there were indeed people whose family members were seriously ill and bedridden.

But the burden on their minds had always held them back, preventing them from taking this step.

If they were hanging by a thread, they might live a few more days. But if they took the prescription and died on the spot...

"Cough, let me try."

Just as everyone hesitated, an old voice came, and an old man appeared, leaning on a cane and walking unsteadily.
