These ancient books exude a faint scent of ink, seemingly containing the accumulated wisdom and mysteries of countless ancestors.
At this moment, the white-haired old man bowed slightly and greeted Ye Ying and the little white fox Tianyao with a gesture of welcome.
Then, in his deep and soothing voice, he slowly said, "I have lived in seclusion here for many years, spending my days with the rare flowers and herbs in this vast forest. Over time, people have come to call me 'Old Herbalist'."
After saying that, the old man smiled and looked at Ye Ying and the little white fox.
A look of confusion appeared on their faces simultaneously.

Then, the old man pointed to the strong, pungent smell of medicine that filled the air and slowly explained:
"The rich, fragrant aroma you are smelling is actually the unique scent of a mysterious elixir that I just carefully brewed. This elixir is exceptionally effective, a rare and miraculous medicine. It is said to have unimaginable magical effects, capable of overcoming all kinds of stubborn diseases."
"Some people have even boasted that this elixir can cure all the difficult and complicated diseases in the world."
Upon hearing this, Ye Ying's heart was filled with a surge of emotions, and she was filled with boundless longing and intense curiosity about that mysterious pill.
Unable to contain her surging emotions, she blurted out, eagerly asking the learned elder:
"May I ask, senior, is this legendary elixir truly as people say, possessing miraculous effects that can cure all diseases?"
"Or does it possess some kind of miraculous ability that is astonishing, like being able to bring the dead back to life or make flesh grow back on bones?"
At this moment, Ye Ying's eyes shone with a thirst for knowledge, as well as reverence and awe for the miraculous medicinal power.
The old herbalist smiled slightly, a faint smile playing on his lips, and replied, "That's an exaggeration, but it does indeed have remarkable effects, and it's quite effective for many difficult and complicated diseases. However, this merit should be attributed to the rare herbs produced in this dense forest. The creation of heaven and earth is a gift that is endless, and I simply gather them at the right time and make good use of their properties."
The little white fox was bewildered and only vaguely understood.
Ye Ying was captivated by what she heard, feeling that the person before her was like a celestial being descended to earth, and she felt great admiration for him.
So he secretly made up his mind to stay here for the time being and learn some knowledge about herbs from the old man.
She had a strong intuition that this herb would bring her great benefits in the future.
That night, as the little white fox was going to sleep, it blinked its bright, large eyes and asked, full of curiosity:
“Young master… the old man we met today, he said, ‘It’s an exaggeration, but it does have remarkable effects and is quite effective for many difficult and complicated diseases. However, this effect should be attributed to the rare herbs produced in this dense forest. The creation of heaven and earth is infinitely generous, and I only picked them at the right time and skillfully used their properties.’… What exactly does this mean…?”
Ye Ying shook her head with a wry smile, reached out and gently pinched the little white fox's fluffy ears, and softly scolded it with a laugh:
"You little rascal, how can you be so stupid... I told you to read more books to broaden your knowledge and experience, but you just wouldn't listen! All you do all day is cause trouble, run around and play around."
