"So this is what the Shy Miss plant looks like… its petals are like that… and this one is the Bell Less plant? Whoa! Now that Dandan sees it, it really looks like this… and this must be the horn from a Horn Rabbit that Dandan has smoothed out; it's white like Big Sister’s hair… and this…"

Seeing all the plants and animal body parts Gu Dandan had gathered in the herb preparation room made her so happy. But as she was marveling at the shapes of each dried plant and animal part in her hands, she heard her sister's voice, pulling her attention away from the items.

"Ahem, Gu Dandan, are you happy now that you can see this world with your own eyes, healed from blindness?"

"Of course, Big Sister! Dandan is so, so happy to see everything! Dandan never imagined that everything Dandan have touched would look so different from what Dandan thought, especially the colors—there are so many different colors in the plants that I didn’t even know the names of!"

"Oh, I see. I'm glad you're happy to be able to see… Besides, with your eyes able to gather information from all the plants and animals, it should make it easier for you to mix medicines. Will you still use that ability to treat all your patients for free as usual?"

"Of course, Big Sister! Dandan will definitely heal everyone for free, after all, Dandan loves helping anyone in need!"

"Hmm, I see... little Dandan, besides ordinary people, would you also be interested in healing a cultivator if you could?"

"Healing a cultivator? What do you mean by healing a cultivator, Big Sister? And what exactly is a cultivator like? Wait, I remember now! If I'm not mistaken, Grandpa Healer once told me that a cultivator is a magical person who can do anything. So why would someone like them want to be healed by an ordinary person like Dandan?"

“W-well, the reason sister said that was…”

As Gu Dandan listened to her sister speak, she suddenly fell silent and turned away from her, leaving her puzzled. She then noticed her tilting her head up toward the ceiling, as if looking at something, which left Gu Dandan unsure of what she was doing by turning away like that. Then, with her head slightly turned back in her direction, she spoke to her again.

“…Actually, Sister lied to you, Little Dandan.”

‘Sister lied? Why would sister lie to Dandan?’

“Sister lied to Dandan? About what? Besides, Dandan has never felt like sister have lied to her before.”

“Big Sister lied to you about… being lost at the edge of the forest… In truth, I was never lost; I just pretended to be lost to test your character.”

“Test Dandan’s character? What do you mean by testing character, Big Sister?”

“Hm? Well, what I mean is, I wanted to know if you’re a good person or a bad person.”

“…Why would Big Sister want to know if Dandan is good or bad? And why are you talking to Dandan with your back turned? Are you feeling guilty for assuming Dandan might be a bad person?”

“W-well, o-of course not—ahem, actually, I was testing your character because I want to take you as my disciple.” Vheena smiled as she turned back to face Dandan, reaching out to gently pat her head.

“My disciple? C-could it be that you’re also a healer!” Gu Dandan replied excitedly.

“No, silly—ahem, I’m not a healer. Can’t you see—I mean, I’m a cultivator... Seeing that you have a rare physical body, of course, I wanted to make you my disciple. But before that, I needed to test your character by pretending to be someone in distress so I could see your true nature. And it turns out, after testing you, you really are a good person, which is why I wanted to recruit you as my disciple right away.”

“Ooh, I see, but why do you have to lie if you want to make Dandan your disciple? Isn’t lying a bad thing? Besides, after you considered Dandan a good person, you immediately wanted to make Dandan your disciple by a bad way like lying. Isn’t that wrong?”

“O-oh, y-yeah… uh…... Little Dandan, do you want to become a very powerful cultivator so you can take revenge on those who have belittled you? Or do you want to be an emperor commanding humanity with your strength? Or do you want to destroy this world with your power?”

The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

‘Hearing what my sister said about cultivators, isn’t being a cultivator a very bad thing? Why would Dandan want to take revenge on those who belittled her? Wouldn’t it be better to do good to them so they won’t belittle Dandan anymore? And why would Dandan want to be an emperor? After all, Dandan prefers being a healer. As for the last thing my sister said, why would Dandan want to destroy this world? If the world were destroyed, where would Dandan live? With all that negativity, it’s better for Dandan to refuse to become a cultivator because nothing good comes from it.’

“Big Sister, Dandan doesn’t want to be a cultivator. From what you just said, it’s clear that being a cultivator is a bad thing. It’s better for Dandan to remain an ordinary healer who can save many people.”

“Eh? W-why are you rejecting it?”

“Of course Dandan refuses to be a cultivator. Just hearing about their nature from you has convinced me that being a cultivator is an evil deed. Besides, Grandpa Healer taught Dandan to be a good person, while being a cultivator is not a good thing. So of course Dandan will refuse.”

“Ugh, this isn’t what you think—oh, right! Actually, I was testing you to see if you would be interested after hearing that as a cultivator, we could act however we want. But since you’re not interested and even rejected me, I’m now certain that you are very suited to be my disciple. You also shouldn’t just think that being a cultivator is an evil deed, because there are many cultivators out there who are good and like to help others, just like you. Well, even though there are also some who are bad, like I mentioned. Besides, if you become a cultivator, you could become an Alchemist, whose abilities are far greater than those of a healer.”

“Alchemist? What is an Alchemist, Big Sister? You said Alchemists are better than healers? You’re not lying, are you?” Gu Dandan replied with an intrigued expression upon hearing about Alchemists.

“Of course, I’m not lying. If you don’t know what an Alchemist is... Well, an Alchemist can be said to be similar to a healer, as their job is to heal people. But the difference is that Alchemists can do much more, like regrowing severed limbs, extending a person's life, bringing the dead back to life, and so on.”

“B-bringing the dead back to life? H-how can that be? If that’s the case, doesn’t that mean Dandan could bring Grandpa Healer back to life, right, Big Sister?” Gu Dandan said excitedly.

“Y-yeah, of course, you could… but are you sure you want to bring back Grandpa Healer, who has been gone for a long time? Who knows, he might be happy with his family in the next life, and bringing him back could take away his happiness.”

“Uh, you’re right… Dandan shouldn’t be so selfish like that...” Gu Dandan replied with a sad expression, realizing she couldn’t bring Grandpa Healer back to life.

As Gu Dandan looked down, feeling sad about not being able to revive Grandpa Healer, she suddenly felt a gentle touch on her head. Raising her gaze, she saw her sister hand gently stroking her head. Still feeling sad, Gu Dandan turned her eyes toward her sister face and saw her looking at her with a sincere smile.

“Little Dandan, don’t be sad like that. Grandpa Healer would be happy to know that you’re still following his teachings by doing good for everyone. Besides, that’s just how the cycle of life is; one day, we will be left by the people we love. But if you become a cultivator, you can minimize that cycle by extending the lives of those you love or others you help, so their families won’t feel the pain of loss like you do.”

“…”

‘You’re right, Big Sister. I shouldn’t be sad about Grandpa’s death. It’s been two years since he left me, and before he passed away, he told me not to be sad about his death because he was happy to have saved many people. Maybe if I agree to become your disciple and become an Alchemist, Grandpa would be very happy knowing that I can save not only humans but also cultivators with the teachings of kindness he passed on to me.’

“Alright, Big Sister, I agree to become your disciple. Grandpa would surely be very happy to know that I’ve become an Alchemist who can save many more people, especially since I can also extend the lives of those who are dying, so their families won’t experience the same loss that I felt.”

“G-good! I’m glad you agreed to be my disciple, because you are my disciple, the student of a true expert. Of course, I will make you the greatest Alchemist known in the cultivation world! But before that, I need to teach you how to cultivate and absorb qi so that you can become a cultivator, and then you—”

As Gu Dandan listened to her sister's explanation, suddenly, a lot of voices came from outside their house, interrupting her.

“Little healer, please save my child who was bitten by a poisonous snake!”

“Little healer, please heal my hand that was burned while cooking!”

“Little healer, please heal my younger sibling’s broken leg!”

“Little healer…”

“Big Sister, can Dandan help them first?”

“…Go ahead, help them. I wouldn’t possibly stop you from doing good. Besides, it’s your kindness that made you chosen to be my disciple, and since it seems you’re busy today, I won’t be able to teach you cultivation; we can start tomorrow instead.”

“Thank you, Big Sister. Then Dandan will go help them.”

After Gu Dandan went outside from the herb preparation room, carrying the items she would use to help those who called for her assistance, she didn’t realize that her sister, Vheena, who was still inside the herb preparation room, was talking to herself about her, which she unfortunately couldn’t hear since she had left the room.

“Is that little girl too foolish, or is she just too innocent? How can all my plans be useless in front of her? I even told her all the benefits of being a cultivator, yet she still isn’t interested. I even posed as an expert in that embarrassing way, but she wasn’t fooled at all. Ugh, it’s my fault for posing like that; it’s unlikely she would understand since she’s just starting to see, but still, it’s so embarrassing for me to have posed like that… Well, whatever, at least I succeeded in making that little girl my disciple. With the excuse I made that she might be busy today, I now have time to think of a suitable training regimen for her tomorrow. She should be able to become a cultivator with her abilities, right?”
