With Xu Jin's matter resolved, Qi Zhiheng began to focus on his own health issues.

Qi Zhiheng didn't have much money left, so he could only plant more medicinal herbs in his spatial storage to meet his daily needs. He also needed to plant more spiritual herbs, since the higher the grade of the spiritual herb, the longer it took to mature.

Qi Zhiheng was busy in the space, wielding a small hoe to dig holes and plant herbs!

Although there were agricultural tools available, young Qi Zhiheng was truly poor! He could borrow the tools, but to use them, he needed to use a spirit pearl! He was a poor man! How could he bear to use a spirit pearl? Helpless, he had no choice but to do it himself.

Before he knew it, it was time for the second medicinal bath. This time, Qi Zhiheng's technique was much more skillful, and the amber-colored medicinal soup was clearer. Qi Zhiheng felt that if he were given another chance, he would be able to refine a transparent, top-quality medicinal soup.

Qi Zhiheng immersed himself in the medicinal soup and cultivated for another day and night!

When Qi Zhiheng climbed out of the medicinal soup, he had gained a little weight and it took him some effort to put on his clothes.

"This won't do!" Qi Zhiheng muttered.

Qi Zhiheng felt it was time to change his clothes.

Qi Zhiheng went to the fabric shop he used to frequent and had a tailor make him a few sets of clothes. The shopkeeper looked at the rounder-figured Qi Zhiheng and said in disbelief, "Young Master Qi...?"

"Hmm? What's wrong?" Qi Zhiheng was a little puzzled as to why the shopkeeper was stammering today.

After confirming that the person was indeed Qi Zhiheng, the shopkeeper couldn't help but mutter to himself, "This young master Qi has grown up too fast. He seemed quite normal when I saw him on the street a few days ago, but now he's grown so much!"

The shopkeeper quickly had the tailor take Qi Zhi's measurements. Qi Zhi selected the fabric and was stunned when he was about to pay the deposit! He didn't have enough money to pay the deposit...

He bought a lot of seeds a while ago, but seeds don't mature in a short time after being planted! With only expenses and no income, Qi Zhiheng is now penniless.

Qi Zhiheng quickly came up with a plan and said, "Shopkeeper, you forgot to bring enough money when you went out. I'll write you a note and you can take it to the Qi residence and have someone give it to the steward so he can give you the remaining money. When the clothes are finished, send them there as well."

The shopkeeper agreed. Madam Qi often brought Qi Zhiheng to the shop to have clothes made, so the shopkeeper wasn't worried that Qi Zhiheng would renege on his debts.

Qi Zhiheng left a note and was about to leave the cloth shop when the shopkeeper saw him off at the door.

Qi Zhiheng returned to the herb garden, sighed, and realized that he was so poor that he couldn't even afford clothes. He had to think of a way to make a living.

Qi Zhiheng rummaged through his belongings and found his most valuable item: a medicine stove.

This medicine furnace was the one Qi Zhenhe bought for him with the spirit pearl last time! The reason was still that he wanted to learn medicine making.

Pawning it? That's out of the question. Selling things isn't a long-term solution. We need to find a stable way to make money.

Qi Zhiheng hugged the medicine furnace, touching it left and right, when suddenly it dawned on him! He could refine medicine and sell it! It's not easy to sell pills from the cultivation world, but doesn't the Xuanling Continent have its own spiritual herbs?

His grandfather was also a pharmacist in the province. In his spare time, he would make some medicinal powders and spiritual liquids, treating it as a hobby. If he didn't need to make medicine, he wouldn't be tending a medicinal garden.

Qi Zhiheng secretly ran into Qi Dong's study and searched through the rows of bookshelves for the alchemy books he wanted, but after searching for a long time, he still found nothing.

That's really strange. Where did this book on alchemy go?
