If those few herbs were used to regulate the body's functions, then coupled with the old mountain sandalwood as a supplement, it would be able to perfectly stimulate the characteristics of each herb and minimize the side effects.
However... this method was rather ancient. Since it required too much attention on the pharmacist's judgment and preparation, and since the recipe and method had been lost, no one knew how to use it anymore.
The middle-aged man had only heard of it because his family was a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner.
It seemed like this young lady's family had an expert pharmacist.
The middle-aged man composed himself and spoke in a more polite tone. "I have a friend who happens to be in the spice business. He also has old sandalwood. His shop is not far from here. I'll give you a business card. You can go and have a look."
If it were not for the man in the inner room, he would have taken the young lady there personally. After all, it was hard to find a pharmacist nowadays, let alone one who knew ancient prescriptions.
The middle-aged man quickly packaged the herbs and took out his name card before handing it to Huo Yao.
"Thank you, boss."
Huo Yao was about to leave with the things when the middle-aged man stopped her. "Although we don't have a 100-year tortoiseshell, we do have a 60-year one..."
Huo Yao paused. She turned her head sideways and said calmly, "It's fine. Although a 60-year one might not be any less effective than a 100-year one, it's important to be precise when using medicine. The slightest difference can lead to a huge loss."
She pushed the door open and walked out.
The middle-aged man was startled and didn't come back to his senses for a long time. It wasn't until an old man walked out from the inner room that he was pulled back from his thoughts.
"Heng, why are you in a daze? Hurry up and lock the door outside! "
When Ah Heng heard that, he walked to the door and said, "Master, a young lady came to buy medicine just now. Her prescription is very special."
The old man took out an old book from the drawer and asked casually. "Oh? What medicine did she buy?"
Heng told him about the four herbs Huo Yao wanted. He paused before he continued. "But I told her I didn't have a 100-year tortoiseshell, and she didn't want a 60-year one. She even asked me about old sandalwood..."
The old man was a little surprised, but he glanced in the direction of the inner chamber and interrupted, "Alright, let's talk later."
After that, he took the things into the inner room.
Ah Heng grunted in acknowledgment. After locking the door, he followed her into the inner room.
In the inner room, the sandalwood fragrance was stronger than outside. Obviously, the fragrance outside came from inside.
Min Yu leaned lazily against the mahogany chair. His hands rested on the table beside him. From time to time, he would use the chopsticks to stir the incense in the burner. He looked relaxed and casual, but his face was a little too pale.
"Young Master Min, based on your current condition, I don't have any other way other than taking medicine to nurse you back to health," said the old man from earlier.
Zhuo Yun stood next to Min Yu. He looked a little gloomy as he asked. "But the medicine doesn't seem to be working. Can't we try other methods?"
