After so many days, the old woman's illness has improved a lot.

When Nanzhi entered, Sun Zheng was carrying some things and was about to leave.

"Oh, isn't this Miss Nan?" Sun Zheng exclaimed in surprise as he picked up the things in his hands.

"I was just talking to your aunt about sending you some things."

Two chickens, plus a basket of eggs.

Farmers rely on their hens' eggs for a treat; a single egg can sell for a penny, so you can imagine the price of two laying hens.

Nanzhi waved her hand, knowing how valuable the gift in Uncle Sun's hand was.

"What is Uncle Sun doing?"

Sun Zheng placed two chickens in front of her: "Girl, I don't have much, just these. Your aunt's health hasn't been good for so many years, but thanks to you, after taking your medicine, she can sit up now."

Namzhi was very happy to know that the situation was improving.

It seems the system's medicine is quite effective.

Seeing that she hadn't accepted it, Sun Zheng was so anxious that he was about to kneel down.

"Uncle Sun." Nanzhi quickly helped the man up.

Having no other choice, Nanzhi said, "I'll accept it."

Sun Zheng then broke into a smile.

Nanzhi explained her purpose: "I came here today for two reasons: first, to check on my aunt's health, and second, to ask Uncle Sun to take me to the city."

After arranging a time with Sun Zheng, Nan Zhi returned home and immediately entered her spatial dimension to pack the medicinal herbs she would sell the next day.

The next morning, Nan Zhi planned to tell Song Hanyan, but when she woke up, she found he was gone again.

Nanzhi had no choice but to pack her bags and set off alone.

When they arrived at their destination, Sun Zhuanzeng was already waiting for her by the roadside in his car.

There were several other people traveling into the city with them in the carriage.

It took them two hours to reach the county town by horse-drawn carriage. The others went out to buy things and arranged to meet Sun Zheng at the city gate.

Nanzhi didn't know any of the people on the bus, but she did recognize a few of them.

"How can this person still have the nerve to go out?" Chen Yan said, looking in the direction Nan Zhi had left.

Li Moran gazed at the retreating figure ahead and pondered, "Don't you guys think Nanzhi seems prettier than before?"

She had been observing her the whole way in the car and noticed that not only had her skin become fairer, but her eyes were also more expressive than before.

Zheng Zhiyi: "When you put it that way, it does seem to be true."

Although she's still as thin as a stick, this time she looks just the right amount of thin.

Chen Yan: "How good-looking can a poor beggar be? Are you all blind? Alright, hurry up and get the things ready, or Uncle Sun won't wait for you."

Zheng Zhiyi glanced at her again, and for some reason she felt that the girl had changed. Her aura gave people an indescribable feeling, as if she was much better than before when she was timid and submissive.

The county town is bigger than the village, and there are more things there. Nanzhi spent a long time looking for several pharmacies, planning to ask them one by one and buy from whoever offered the highest price.

"Liu Family Pharmacy." As soon as Nan Zhi walked in, someone came over.

Seeing Nan Zhi's coarse linen clothes, he lowered his head and said lazily, "Do you want to see a doctor or buy medicine? If you want to see a doctor, go next door. If you want to buy medicine, bring me the prescription."

Nanzhi stepped forward and whispered, "Do you buy herbs?"

Liu Sanhui looked up at Nanzhi, then turned and called inside, "Uncle Qin, collect the medicine."

His voice was weak and feeble, and he thought that the girl probably didn't have any medicinal herbs to offer, so there was no need to call the shopkeeper.

Immediately afterwards, an older man wearing a cotton-padded coat walked out from behind the door.

Qin Hongren: "Young lady, what kind of medicinal herbs do you want to sell?"

The uncle in front of her was quite kind. Nanzhi took out the package behind her and placed it on the table, then took out the contents of the package and bundled them up on the table.

As Nan Zhi made her movements, Qin Hongren gradually became alarmed.

"Purslane... Bone-Setting Pill, Polygonum multiflorum!"

After taking the east, west, and south branches, he clapped his hands and said, "That's all."

The others were all common medicinal herbs, but Qin Hongren couldn't take his eyes off this last one.

"Little girl, did you pick all of these?"

Nan Zhi was in a hurry and didn't have time for small talk: "Uncle, do you want to buy it? If not, I'll go ask at another store."

Qin Hongren immediately said, "Buy it, of course. Sanhui, go and call the shopkeeper."

The herbs that Doctor Qin called "shopkeeper" must be extraordinary. Liu Sanhui came over to take a look.

His sullen expression vanished instantly. Although he was a pharmacist, he had never seen such high-quality He Shou Wu before, and it was clearly very valuable.

A short while later, a man with a goatee hurriedly came out from behind the pharmacy.

Before I could even look at the people around me, I was immediately drawn to the herbs on the table.

"A century-old He Shou Wu (Polygonum multiflorum) of excellent quality."

It's very well preserved. Regardless of how it was preserved, its condition alone suggests it's at least 300 years old and could fetch at least 200 taels of silver.

Liu Zhiqian looked at the little girl in front of him; she seemed quite young.

"Young lady, I'll take all of this for one hundred taels of silver, how about it?"

Qin Hongren looked up in shock; the shopkeeper's old habit had resurfaced.

Although Nanzhi did not know the price of these medicinal herbs, the He Shou Wu plant was at least three hundred years old, and this one plant alone was worth more than one hundred taels.

“If the shopkeeper is dishonest, then I’ll have to find someone else.” Nanzhi snatched the he shou wu from his hand and put it back in the package.

The little girl tossed a century-old He Shou Wu (Polygonum multiflorum) into her parcel in a tattered burlap sack, a sight that pained Qin Hongren to see.

Such quality is among the best in the entire Qinghe County. He could easily sell it for three hundred taels of silver. How could Liu Zhiqian miss such an opportunity?

Liu Zhiqian stepped aside to block Nan Zhi's path: "Young lady, one hundred taels of silver is no small amount. It's enough for you to buy dozens of acres of fertile land in the countryside."

Nan Zhi sneered. The shopkeeper was certain that she, a country girl, had never seen a hundred taels of silver before.
