"Father, please try the lotus leaf-wrapped roasted chicken that your daughter made for you, as well as the osmanthus rice wine that I prepared for you." Bai Pingping poured wine for Bai Yan while warmly inviting her to serve the dishes.

"Father, I really want to inherit your medical skills! After I finish learning, I want to be like you, traveling all over the world, saving lives and helping those who are seriously ill. Father, please promise me, okay?" Bai Pingping tightly grasped Bai Yan's clothes with both hands, her big, watery eyes looking at him expectantly, her face full of pleading and longing.

At this moment, Bai Yan was sitting leisurely at the table, holding a plump chicken leg in one hand and constantly putting chicken meat into her mouth with the other. Hearing his daughter's request, he looked up, a few drops of oil still on his lips, and stared at Bai Pingping suspiciously, saying, "Hmph, you little brat, what mischief are you up to now? Don't think I don't know what you're plotting!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Pingping quickly feigned a wronged expression, pouting slightly as she muttered, "Father, what do you mean! I genuinely want to learn medicine. Just think about it, your extraordinary medical skills would be such a pity if no one were to inherit them! Besides, I can only gather some common herbs right now; I know absolutely nothing about how to treat and heal people! I'm just diligent and eager to learn, hoping to inherit your superb medical skills. Please don't misunderstand my good intentions!" As she spoke, she would occasionally steal glances at Bai Yan, observing his reaction.

Looking at his daughter's pitiful appearance, Bai Yan's heart wavered. He sighed softly, shook his head helplessly, and said, "Fine, fine, I'm really afraid of you, you clever little devil. Alright, since you're so eager, then you can learn medicine with Xia Mu and me! But let me make this clear: learning medicine is not an easy thing, you'd better be prepared to endure hardship!"

"Don't worry, Father, I will definitely study hard." Bai Pingping kept putting food on Bai Yan's plate, as if afraid that he would change his mind.

As night deepened, Bai Pingping, exhausted from a long day, returned to her boudoir, lay on the bed, and lazily drifted off into a daze.

"Little scum, little scum, show yourself quickly!" Bai Pingping said weakly.

"Host, I'm here." Xiao Zha slowly lit up his panel and answered from deep within Bai Pingping's mind.

"Is there a pill that can quickly improve memory? I need to learn medicine in a short time," Bai Pingping said earnestly.

"Yes, host, there is an item in the shop called the 'Photographic Memory Pill.' After taking it, you will be able to remember everything you see, even complex written records. No matter how difficult the medical book is, you can quickly memorize it after taking the pill," Xiao Zha said unhurriedly.

"How many points do I need to redeem this item?" Bai Pingping asked.

"Host, because you completed the mission excellently in the previous world, you now have two hundred points. It will cost 10 points to exchange for this pill. Would you like to exchange it?" Xiao Zha replied.

"I really need it, please exchange it for me quickly!" Bai Pingping's face showed a hint of urgency.

"Okay, host, exchanging it for you." With that, a flash of light appeared, and a red pill appeared in Bai Pingping's hand. Bai Pingping swallowed it without hesitation.

After taking the pill, Bai Pingping felt a sudden clarity in her mind, as if her previously confused thoughts had been instantly straightened out. She couldn't wait to open a difficult-to-understand medical book. The words that used to give her a headache after reading just a few lines now seemed as clear as if they were imprinted in her mind.

The next morning, Bai Pingping arrived at the study early, much to Xia Mu's surprise at her energetic appearance. When she began studying medical books, Bai Pingping displayed an astonishing memory; she could quickly memorize and accurately recite both the symptoms and the prescriptions.

This prompted even the usually composed Xia Mu to praise, "Pingping, you seem like a completely different person today, so intelligent." Bai Pingping was secretly delighted but responded modestly on the surface.

However, overusing this ability also brought side effects. In the afternoon, she suddenly felt dizzy. Xiao Zha hurriedly reminded her, "Host, while the pills enhance memory, they also put a heavy burden on the body. Don't overuse them." Bai Pingping then realized the drawbacks of being too hasty and decided to adjust her pace, learning medicine slowly according to her own capacity. After all, the road to becoming a doctor was long, and she couldn't ruin her long-term plan because of momentary impatience.

In order to master medical skills as soon as possible and start her revenge mission, Bai Pingping began to study medicine day and night without stopping.

As dawn broke, soft light filtered through the dense foliage, illuminating the secluded path of White Bird Valley. Bai Pingping, dressed in a neat and tidy outfit, carried a bamboo basket on her back and clutched a slightly worn but precious medical book in her hand. Beside her stood the tall and upright Xia Mu. The two, their gazes resolute, embarked on their journey to gather herbs.

Arriving at a lush patch of land, Bai Pingping bent down and sniffed the air. Drawing on her knowledge from medical books and past experience, she keenly sensed that there might be useful materials here. She crouched down, carefully parted the grass, and pointed to a plant with slender leaves, clear veins, and serrated edges. "Look," she said happily, "this should be Anemarrhena asphodeloides. Medical books say its roots and stems can clear heat and purge fire, nourish yin and moisten dryness." With that, she gently dug away the soil, carefully unearthed the roots and stems, placed them in a bamboo basket, and then carefully compared them to the medical books. After confirming it was correct, she nodded slightly, her eyes filled with the joy of her harvest.

Xia Mu observed attentively from the side, sometimes helping to clear away the surrounding weeds, sometimes handing over tools, and occasionally asking questions: "Pingping, if Anemarrhena asphodeloides has such medicinal effects, how can we distinguish it from Fritillaria cirrhosa, which is similar to it?" Bai Pingping smiled and opened a medical book, pointing to the illustrations to patiently explain: "Fritillaria cirrhosa has wider leaves and a unique flower shape. Although both have the effect of relieving cough, Fritillaria cirrhosa is more inclined to moisten the lungs, relieve cough, and resolve phlegm. The symptoms it is used for are different..." As she explained, the two continued on their way.

Not far away, several plants with pale purple flowers and thorny stems came into view. Bai Pingping looked thoughtful, recalling what was described in the medical book, and then leaned closer to examine the shape of the flowers and the details of the leaves. After a moment, she affirmed, "This is Viola yedoensis, which has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, cooling blood and reducing swelling." She carefully avoided the sharp thorns on the stem, picked the flowers and tender leaves, gently placed them in the basket, and checked the characteristics against the medical book again.

Along the way, Xia Mu was accidentally scratched by thorns. Bai Pingping quickly took out a few herbs she had collected earlier from the bamboo basket, crushed them with a stone, and applied them to Xia Mu's wound, saying, "This is Agrimony. It can stop bleeding and reduce inflammation, which is beneficial for wound healing. It's a good opportunity to put what I've learned into practice."

As the sun rose higher, their bamboo baskets were filled with various herbs. The two found a shady boulder and sat down to rest. Bai Pingping opened her medical book again, and together with Xia Mu reviewed the properties, meridians, effects, indications, and contraindications of the herbs they had collected that day. They also asked each other questions and discussed, deepening their understanding and memory of the pharmacology. Their clear voices echoed through the valley, reflecting their passion and pursuit of medicine.

Seeing Bai Pingping diligently studying medicine recently, Bai Yan's face was full of worry. He once again came to the cave where he had secluded himself. Looking at the person on the ice bed, he began to mutter to himself, "Ling'er, our daughter is studying medicine recently. She wants to go out and make her way in the world. I don't know what to do. Should I stop her?"
