The next day, Bai Ruozhu began to prepare for leaving Beiyu City. She filled porcelain bottles with sterilized mud from the pond and sealed them, handing them over to Fang Guizhi.
"The production process is really complex. Without knowledge of medicine, it's hard to get a grip on it. So, I made more, enough for a two-month supply. But you must hide it well and not let anyone take it." Bai Ruozhu made up a lie since she herself didn't know how to make the white jade cream. How could she possibly teach Guizhi?
To avoid raising suspicion, she didn't teach Guizhi the making of Pearl Jade Cream either, citing its overly complex production process. She prepared many bottles of Pearl Jade Cream for Guizhi and instructed her to take good care of them.
Guizhi very carefully stowed everything away. However, she didn't feel entirely at ease. She decided to take only one bottle to the Hot Spring Mansion and return for more when it was almost used up.
