Chapter 7: Ren Shan Tang

A moment later—

Ye Leng'an arrived outside a rather dilapidated-looking pharmacy.

The pharmacy appeared to have many years of history, and was the kind that had fallen into disrepair over time. A signboard hung crookedly above the entrance, where a few characters could faintly be discerned—Ren Shan Tang.

Anyone seeing a pharmacy like this would likely have no desire to step inside to buy medicine.

Just as she had observed its decay, Ye Leng'an stepped inside.

Inside the pharmacy, only an old man was tending the shop.

Upon seeing someone enter, the old man did not rise; he merely lifted his eyes to glance up, then asked listlessly, "What medicine do you need?"

His attitude was indifferent, as if he didn't care at all whether the person actually intended to buy medicine. It seemed as though he wouldn't even care if a customer walked away.

"I'm not buying medicine." Ye Leng'an placed a porcelain bottle directly onto the table. "I am selling medicine—elixirs. Do you accept them here?"

In her past life, she had known of such a place.

Of course, with the status of the Ye family, it would have been impossible for her to know much about these matters. The reason she knew was because she had attended the most famous aristocratic high school in Kyoto.

Almost everyone studying there was a child of a Kyoto wealthy family, so they naturally obtained much information unknown to outsiders.

Her knowledge of this Ren Shan Tang's existence was merely a stroke of luck, having overheard a bit of news. Although she had known such a place existed, she had never come here before. Without reaching that level of status, coming here recklessly would definitely not have been a wise move.

Hearing Ye Leng'an's words, the old man, who had been somewhat lethargic, immediately perked up. A sharp glint flashed in his eyes. "Little girl, do you know what you are saying?"

As he spoke, the aura surrounding the old man underwent a world-shaking transformation. He had just been an ordinary old man from the neighborhood, but now, a hint of murderous intent emanated from him.

An ordinary person would likely have had their legs go weak under such pressure.

Ye Leng'an remained unchanged, her expression still calm. "Old man, you only need to tell me whether you accept elixirs here or not. If you do, take a look. If you don't, I will take them elsewhere to sell."

The depth of the old man's gaze grew increasingly profound, and his aura became more piercing.

After a moment, the old man reined in his aura. When he looked at Ye Leng'an, there was a newfound sense of caution in his eyes. "Dear guest, we do accept elixirs. However, I wonder what kind of elixir you are looking to sell?"

Although he did not know exactly who this young girl was, the fact that she showed no retreat or unease even when he had released his full aura meant she was no simple character. He just didn't know when such a figure had appeared in the capital.

"This is a Beauty Pill." Ye Leng'an opened the cap directly. "If taken by an older person, it can make them look at least ten years younger. If taken by a young woman, barring any accidents, it can maintain her appearance unchanged for at least twenty years."

This was merely the lowest grade of Beauty Pill. If it were a high-grade Beauty Pill, maintaining one's appearance unchanged for a hundred years would not even be a problem.

However, bringing out such a pill would be far too heaven-defying.
