Gu Qingchen raised her head slightly, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes. She had just entered the room and was given a task so soon?

Although she was a little surprised, Gu Qingchen still asked obediently, “Please speak, Master.”

Doctor Hua pointed at the outer hall and winked at Gu Qingchen. “Help me get rid of that person outside. It’s annoying.”

Was there anyone else outside?

Gu Qingchen subconsciously looked outside. If it was just this task, it would be easy to solve.

Who knew that before Gu Qingchen could walkout, the person outside had already walked into the inner hall. Looking closely, it turned out to be Elder Yuan.

“Doctor Hua, you’re too unethical. You’ve just accepted a disciple and you’re asking her to chase me away. Isn’t this making things difficult for your little disciple!”

As he spoke, Elder Yuan strolled around the inner hall. Elder Yuan whose eyes were twitching said with a smile, “Doctor Hua, it seems that my kid’s condition worsened again. Do you want to take a look?”

Although Elder Yuan was smiling, Gu Qingchen could see that there was a deep worry in his eyes.

For some reason, when Doctor Hua heard Elder Yuan mention his kid, his whole face seemed to be constipated. It was a little strange.

His eyes rolled around, and when his gaze fell on Gu Qingchen, his eyes lit up, as if he had found a savior.

“Girl, since I have already accepted you as my disciple, you naturally have to share some of the burdens for me. Master is old, from today onwards, all external consultations will be handed over to you. Master trusts you very much, you must not disappoint me.”

What!

Gu Qingchen couldn’t even put on a smile. Why did she feel that she didn’t get the Hundred Herb Hall, but sold herself to the Hundred Herb Hall?

Elder Yuan was also very surprised. For the first time, he had the same expression as Gu Qingchen.

“This… doesn’t seem appropriate, right?”

It wasn’t that he looked down on Gu Qingchen, but it was really too outrageous. Gu Qingchen was still young and had just become Doctor Hua’s disciple. No matter how talented she was, she still needed time to learn medicine.

Moreover… that kid of his did not want to get close to women.

Doctor Hua waved his hand and said impatiently, “Do as I say. Go back and wait for the news. I still have to teach my disciple, so I won’t keep you any longer.”

It was obvious that this was an order to leave. Gu Qingchen glanced at Elder Yuan and did not expect that Elder Yuan was not angry. He only looked at Gu Qingchen a few more times before he left, and he was full of sympathy.

After Elder Yuan left, the main event began.

“Girl, I have basic medical skills and medicine books here. Take them back and read them. The Hundred Herb Hall is yours. Recently, I’m going into seclusion to research a type of medicine. When the medicine is developed, you can send it to that kid from the Rong family.”

After saying that, Doctor Hua threw a few thick medical books to Gu Qingchen. Then, he walked towards the backyard without looking back. Halfway through, he stopped. “If there are any problems that are difficult to solve recently, I will be counting on you. Remember, no matter who comes, you can’t disturb me.”

Gu Qingchen was holding a heavy book in her hand. Hearing Doctor Hua’s words, even if she had a very indifferent personality, she was still a little mad at this moment.

Although she knew some medicinal theories, it would still take a long time for her to digest these books’ information, not to mention that she still had to manage the huge Hundred Herb Hall.

Also, who was that kid from the Rong family?

Gu Qingchen stood there without moving for a long time. Finally, she let out a deep breath, lowered her head to look at the thick medical books and medicine books, and returned to the outer hall.

She was not a person who liked to complain whenever she encountered a problem. Facing difficulties head-on was the key to solving the problem.

Since the Hundred Herb Hall had already belonged to her, she naturally had to understand more about medicine. No matter what, this Hundred Herb Hall was her last resort.

Gu Qingchen found a seat and made herself a cup of tea. Fortunately, the things prepared by the Hundred Herb Hall were quite complete. After that, she began to flip through the first medical book.

Who knew that the words that should have been difficult to understand were actually very simple after she read them.

She could even read ten lines at a glance and not forget about it!

This… what was going on?

She did not think that she had the same ability in the past. It was obvious that she had changed after her rebirth.

First, she could read minds. Now, she could even remember everything she read and accept new knowledge easily!

Why?

Was it because the heavens pitied her and allowed her to be reborn and possess these extraordinary abilities?

Gu Qingchen continued to read these books in disbelief. In a few hours, she had finished reading the thick stack of books and memorized them in her mind.

Finally, a faint smile appeared on Gu Qingchen’s lips. Since the god of luck had descended upon her in this life, she would never waste these superpowers.

After that, Gu Qingchen held the “Medicinal Herb Encyclopedia” and compared it with the medicinal herbs in the Hundred Herb Hall. She began to identify them. Very soon, she was familiar with the medicinal properties and usage ratio of these medicinal herbs. She even knew which box each medicinal herb was placed in.

After doing all this, Gu Qingchen stretched lazily and felt much more relaxed.

With this Hundred Herb Hall, as long as she managed it well, her family would definitely be able to get through this difficult period.

In the afternoon, other than her being immersed in the sea of books, there were also a few customers who came to buy medicinal herbs. Because they had come here before and the prescription prescribed by Doctor Hua healed them, they only came here to get the medicine. Therefore, Gu Qingchen filled the prescription.

The two doses of medicine could actually reach 1,000 dollars.

One had to know that although people’s living standards had improved a lot, 1,000 dollars was not a small amount.

In 1996, most people’s salary was only a few hundred dollars a month. Gu Qingchen did not care about this 1,000 dollars before, but now it became a large sum of money.

No wonder people said that the medical industry made money, and it was true.

What Gu Qingchen didn’t know was that only the Hundred Herb Hall could sell it at such an expensive price. Doctor Hua was a famous Chinese medicine practitioner. Many people came to him because of this, so the price was naturally much higher than in other places.

Looking at her watch, Gu Qingchen was ready to close the shop and go home. Before she went back, Gu Qingchen went to the backyard of the Hundred Herb Hall. Seeing that her master’s door was tightly closed, she didn’t disturb him and went back directly.

On the way back, because this was a business street, there were many people.

“Brother, your luck is too good. You must have made a fortune this time. When the time comes, don’t forget about me!”

“Hahaha, today is the luckiest day of my life. Brother, don’t worry. If you didn’t insist on taking me to gamble stones today, I wouldn’t have such a good opportunity!”

“Good brother, I’m really worried that you won’t remember me after you become rich. By the way, you’re so lucky. Do you want to go and take a look tomorrow?”

“There’s one tomorrow too? Okay, then we’ll go tomorrow too. If there’s another piece of jade, I’ll really have to pay my respects to my ancestors!”

“You’re so lucky, so there wouldn’t be problems. Let’s meet at the street corner at 9 am tomorrow.”

“Okay, I’m going to prepare more money tomorrow. I’ll definitely gamble again!”

Gu Qingchen, who was walking silently on the road, subconsciously looked over when she heard the conversation between the two.

Stone gambling?
