Li Mei spent several weeks diligently practicing the energy manipulation techniques Master Wei had taught her, all while tending to her growing collection of herbs and plants. Her small garden had flourished, and with the power of her mystical space, she was able to grow rare herbs that no one in the village had ever seen before. She was growing more confident in her abilities, but there was still one question that lingered in her mind: How would she share her discoveries with the world?
Her life in the village was simple, and she had no desire for wealth or power, but she knew that her knowledge could help others. With her remedies and potions improving by the day, it was only a matter of time before someone would need them. The herbs she had collected—ginseng, astragalus, and the rare golden yam—were powerful and could heal various ailments. There was an opportunity here, she realized, to share her knowledge, help others, and even create something that could sustain her.
One morning, as she finished her tasks in the garden, Li Mei found herself contemplating the next step. The village was small, and few ventured beyond its borders. But she had a small collection of remedies, herbs, and tinctures ready to go. Could she sell them?
She looked around her humble dwelling, noting the simple life she had carved for herself. But this was the perfect moment to take the first step. There was no harm in trying.
