“Unbelievable, unbelievable!”
"Who has a container? I want to fill it up and give it to my son to drink!"
"I want a whole ladle, and our whole family will drink it!"
The crowd rushed in, like customers eagerly waiting in front of a zero-dollar store.
"Hey, hey, don't worry, there are plenty," Qi Ji said hurriedly to maintain order, "If it's not enough, I'll get more, no need to rush."
Copying the antidote to the fever was not a spur-of-the-moment act on her part.
She had the idea of preparing her own antidote for the fever last night, but before she started experimenting, she realized it wouldn't work.
Because after analyzing the ingredients, she found that in addition to spirituality, the antidote also contained some other powers.
She knew nothing about this kind of power, and if she wanted to copy it, she would have no way to do it in a short period of time. However, this power happened to be the core ingredient of the antidote, and there was no way to reproduce the effectiveness of the antidote without overcoming this hurdle.
Fortunately, when she went to church this morning, she just happened to find a "fellow" of this power.
That’s right, it’s the “anti-reconnaissance force field” that protects the church from being spied on by the outside world!
Despite their very different uses, these two forces are essentially the same, just like helium and neon are both rare gases with similar properties and structures.
The church's "anti-reconnaissance force field" is complex, large, and organic enough, and contains a higher amount of information. For Qi Ji, there are more breakthrough points, which makes it easier for her to analyze its composition and master its rules.
Therefore, after analyzing the church's "anti-reconnaissance force field", it would be easy to copy the "core ingredients of the antidote" that share the same origin.
It is no longer difficult to prepare the antidote for fever on your own!
She poured the original antidote into the water in order to disperse the spirituality and "mysterious power" in the antidote. Although this would destroy some of the ingredients of the antidote, it would make it easier for her to operate.
Just like a set of incomplete building blocks, it is obviously much easier to just make the missing and damaged parts than to completely reset them from scratch.
Of course, it is not necessary to do so. She can also use clean water to turn it into medicine out of thin air, but the efficiency is not that high.
"In this case, can I change my career and become a 'pharmacist'?" Qi Ji suddenly thought.
This was no joke. After learning the tricks of preparing drugs, she could do much more than just replicate extraordinary drugs.
As long as she is willing to spend a little more time thinking about it, she can freely make medicines with any effect, whether it is a special medicine for a certain disease, a poison that can kill any creature, or a supplement that greatly enhances a person's ability...
All within easy reach!

Second update
=======================
As soon as Qi Ji showed up, the fanatical crowd immediately calmed down.
She easily produced a large basin of antidote, and her image in everyone's mind instantly elevated. She was simply a savior, and no one would have the idea of disobeying her.
Everyone tried their best to get containers of suitable size, and lined up one by one to scoop the medicine from the wooden basin.
Most people only take one or two persons' portions, but some people are greedy and get a large wooden ladle from somewhere and take away a large spoonful.
No one else cared, and Qi Ji didn't care either, because there was a full basin of antidote, which was more than enough for ten servings for everyone present.
If it's not enough, she can just make another pot and doesn't have to worry about not having enough to share.
The distribution of the antidote was carried out in an orderly manner. Before leaving, everyone bowed deeply to Qi Ji and thanked him sincerely. The scene made it look like some strange religious ritual, which made Qi Ji feel uncomfortable.
Soon the distribution of the antidote was halfway through, and Qi Ji suddenly said to Lun Xi: "You stay here and watch, I have something to do."
"okay!"
To be honest, even Lun Xi, who had seen the most of Qi Ji's magical powers, was shocked when he saw that she could prepare the antidote for the fever so easily.
Lunxi understood one thing: never think that you are "used to" Qi Ji's actions, because no one knows whether she will give another shocking performance in the next second.
She was intoxicated by the feeling of endless surprises ahead, and she couldn't wait to continue her adventure with Qi Ji.
She had a premonition... this mysterious girl who seemed to appear out of nowhere would definitely do countless earth-shattering things in the future!
And she wants to be the first witness of all this in the future!
Qi Ji had no idea of Lun Xi’s expectations. After giving her instructions, she disappeared in a flash.
In the dark and damp alley, three people were running away in panic.
"Damn it... Damn it! Where did this guy come from?!" The man in the middle cursed in his heart as he fled, "He must be sent by other cities to cause trouble! We must report it immediately--"
"This is a good place, remote enough." A dark figure suddenly appeared in front of them. "No one should come to disturb our 'detailed discussion'."
"hiss!"
The man's heart felt like it had fallen into an icy cave and his intestines had turned into water.
The dark shadow in front of him was hidden in the darkness and could not be seen clearly, making people doubt whether it really existed or was just an illusion of light and shadow. However, he did not dare to take another step forward. He hurriedly stopped his running momentum, and then stepped back step by step.
"What do you want to do?" He hurriedly hid behind the two guards, but he was still stammering in panic. "You can't touch me! Otherwise, you won't be able to bear the consequences!"
"I still have a lot of things I want to do," the figure in the dark said with a playful tone, "Let's do them one by one, there's no rush."
"Stop talking nonsense! I know you are not from Stio, not even from the Holy Church!" The man realized that he could not be led by the other party, and immediately tried to take the initiative:
"You, a foreigner, actually forged an antidote for the fever in broad daylight to deceive the public! Do you know what crime this is? "
"Oh?" Qi Ji looked at him cheerfully, not rushing to explain, "What do you mean?"
Seeing her ask back, the man sneered in his heart and calmed down a little.
He thought that the other party was guilty and cowardly, otherwise why would he take his accusations seriously?
It’s because what I was told came true. I’m getting anxious!
"Haha, using lies to incite people's hearts and deceive the civilians' trust on other people's territory, isn't that an attempt to become an idol with everyone's support? Isn't that suspected of treason?" He put his hands on his waist and said sternly, "Do you know how serious this crime is?! If the news gets to the masters, it would be their mercy to let you die quickly!"
If the other party shows signs of retreating, you should press on and attack her, using exaggerated words to exaggerate the badness of her behavior and make her realize the seriousness of the problem!
The more scared she is, the more advantage she has!
"That is to say, you still think that the antidote I made is not real." Qi Ji tilted his head and asked, "Where do you get your confidence from?"
"Humph! Isn't this obvious!?" The man was disdainful, as if he had heard some huge joke:
"Your trick is too cheap! The antidote for the fever was prepared by several saints. Do you know what level of person a 'saint' is?! He is a more pious clergyman than an 'explanator'. How can a common person like you mess with him?"
Qi Ji raised an eyebrow: "Is it so mysterious? I only know that the antidote was bought by Baron Lionsmith from the inland, how could it be so powerful?"
The man laughed out loud upon hearing this: "What a joke! How can you possibly buy something like this? Which ordinary pharmacist is qualified to make it? You don't even use your brain to think about it... Ugh!"
Just as he was about to say the sarcastic words, his face froze and the second half of his words got stuck in his throat.
"Oh, I let it slip." Qi Ji's half-closed eyes flashed with a light of victory.
"You, you are trying to trick me..." The man's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
At first, he thought that this little girl who appeared out of nowhere was actually a spy sent by other cities or even countries to cause trouble. That would be a big problem, involving a power struggle among the upper classes.
In short, a small pawn like him is not qualified to interfere. The only thing he can do is to report the situation as soon as possible.
That's why I was so panicked before.
However, after discovering that the other party was actually fooled by his few words, he figured it out.
This little girl is most likely just a rich lady from some foreign power. She learned some decent magic and became a wizard, so she followed the steps in heroic novels to go out and experience adventure.
Judging from his voice and figure, he is not too old, probably in his teens, which is the age when one likes to meddle in other people's business and love to act like a hero and seek attention.
Therefore, it was normal for her to develop a childish sense of justice after accidentally witnessing the shady transaction between herself and the store owner, and she tried to embarrass herself by forging an antidote to the fever and echoing the troublemakers.
At this point, he concluded that this little girl must have no background. At most, she was the pampered daughter of a big businessman or factory owner. It was absolutely impossible for her to have any connection with the nobility or the church.
Because nobles often value their reputation more than their lives, they would rather not have enough food than not make their own homes look presentable, and they would never let their own flesh and blood go out to travel alone.
At least we have to bring dozens of guards, attendants, and servants. It has to be a grand event!
Not to mention the church, which of those mysterious clergymen would wish to be as high as heaven and live in the clouds?
All in all, he has nothing to be afraid of as he has a strong backer!
I was so frightened by being fooled by such a cheap trick, and the other party was just a little kid with no backing...
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more he wanted to fight back and get some revenge. It would be best if he could just scold her until she cried and knelt down to beg him to show leniency and plead for her with the higher-ups.
So he became more and more excited as he talked, and suddenly he couldn't control himself and accidentally blurted out some words that he couldn't say.
"Don't be so arrogant, little bitch," the man spat, gritting his teeth, "You dare to fool me, your master? Today I will teach you a lesson and discipline you on behalf of your uneducated parents. I will let you know that not everyone can be offended!"

Third update.
=======================
"Can you beat me?" Qi Ji could guess what he was thinking, so he simply played along and pretended to be innocent, "To be honest, your two guards are no match for me."
"Hey, you little bitch, am I going to fight you?" The man crossed his arms in contempt, looking very confident. "Outsider! Do you know the Lionsmith family?"
"Are you talking about the local noble?" Qi Ji's heart was slightly touched, and he had a premonition that the clouds would soon be cleared and the sun would shine. "What's wrong? Why did you mention it?"
The man puffed out his chest proudly and said, "My master is the head of the Lionsmith family and the richest noble in Stio - Sir Augustus Lionsmith!"
"Do you know what this means?" Fearing that the other party would not grasp the key point, he immediately added, looking very proud, "Although his title is Baron, even Lord Stio, Viscount Double-Headed Axe, and even Lord Rosago, the priest of the church, have to show him some respect!"
"So powerful?" Qi Ji leaned back and said in a surprised voice, "How can you get close to such a person?"
"Still don't believe it?" The man laughed coldly, "I am very capable. Looking at the entire North District, no one knows how to sell medicine better than me. Sir Lionsmith came to me to find me, which shows his respect for me!"
"He asked you to sell the antidote for him?"
"I don't need to answer questions like this!" He still had some common sense. He ignored Qi Ji's questioning and warned him arrogantly and sternly:
"This kind of person can make a girl like you disappear from the face of the earth with just one word! Just think, if I tell him a few words about what you did... hehe!"
Qi Ji didn't say anything else, but lowered his head slightly to digest the information.
"What do you think? Are you scared?!" Seeing the other party's silence, the man laughed arrogantly, "If you beg me and make me feel better, I can also say a few good words to Sir Lionsmith and let you suffer less!"
After saying this, he raised his head and looked full of vigor and vitality.
So cool!
The feeling of suffering humiliation and then fighting back is so satisfying!
Although it was a bit of a pity that the other person was hiding in the shadows and his face could not be seen.
But just by using his imagination, he could imagine a shocked and terrified little face, and even her uneasy inner thoughts.
Then, thinking that in a few seconds, she would panic and beg for mercy, or even kneel down and agree to all her excessive requests, I felt even better - like riding a rocket - so happy!
"I understand." The little girl in the shadow raised her head and her voice became very cold. "Just do what you need to do."
"Uh?"
The man was confused by this cold and inexplicable reaction - this was not what he imagined?
Among the shadows, he saw the vague black shadow opposite him tremble, and then a beautiful white spot was dotted in it.
It seemed as if the other party stretched out a hand from under the pitch-black cloak, and it seemed that it was pointing towards himself!
"What do you want to do?! I tell you, if you attack me, the master will not..."
What interrupted his words was a light blue flash.
"Huh? Why am I standing here?" The man was stunned. After looking at the guards beside him who were also puzzled, he shook his head:
"He was actually in a daze... We need to speed up. That guy must have been sent by another city to cause trouble! We must report to the master immediately..."
He immediately urged the two guards who were still in a daze and ran along the dark alley into the distance.
"Big sister, can I take all the remaining things?" The ragged boy stared at the wooden basin on the ground and begged, "There are many people in our family, including dad, big brother, second brother, uncle..."
Seeing that he was only eleven or twelve years old, dirty and haggard, Lunxi knew that he was a poor man from the South District.
After looking around and confirming that everyone except the boy had taken the antidote and left, she sighed and whispered sympathetically:
"Take it, and be sure to hide it well. If someone sees it, they will miss it!"
"Thank you, thank you! Big sister is such a good person!"
The boy cheered in surprise and quickly took off his tattered shirt and covered the mouth of the basin with it to block the golden light coming from it.
