Moreover, he had been researching medicine for decades. If he could develop it, he would have done so long ago. He would not be holding onto an ancient book helplessly.
The old man sighed and said, "You can show this book to the Apothecaries' Association. They might be able to learn something from it."
Zhuo Yun's eyes landed on the old man's book. Just as he was about to take it, Min Yu said calmly, "A gentleman doesn't take what others love. Since it's Old Mr. Pei's ancestral heirloom, how can I lend it to someone else?"
Zhuo Yun was furious and anxious when he heard his boss's words. "But the thing in your body..."
Min Yu raised his hand and interrupted him. "Didn't Old Mr. Pei say that it could be contained for the time being? That's good enough. "Min Yu looked calm and gentle.
"If we can find the rumored descendant of the Shangguan clan, Young Master Min's problem will be easily solved." Old Mr. Pei sighed. He paused before he continued. "But... no one from this clan has ever appeared, so it's still a mystery whether they exist or not."
Zhuo Yun recalled the information he had gathered. He clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, "No matter what, I will find them even if I have to dig three feet into the ground."

Huo Yao shopped around the Chinese medicine market. She was rather lucky and managed to buy the last medicine.
After she bought the medicine, she took out the name card given to her by the middle-aged man. She searched for the address of the spices on the name card and went over.
Since the production of Laoshan sandalwood was low, it was relatively rare. Therefore, it was very expensive in the market and there were many fakes.
When Huo Yao arrived at the spice shop, the shopkeeper initially thought that she was a young girl, so he tried to fool her with spices from other places. However, after Huo Yao exposed him, the shopkeeper realized that he had met a connoisseur, so he took out the real thing.
Huo Yao took a look at it. Although the quality was not up to standard, it could be used to make incense. She did not waste her time arguing with the shopkeeper, nor did she ask him to wrap it up. She paid for it and left.
It was completely dark outside, and Song Ning had already called her twice. Huo Yao hailed a cab from the roadside and headed home.
It was almost 8 pm by the time she reached home.
Song Ning looked at the shopping bags in her daughter's hands and felt gratified for the first time. She helped her daughter carry the bags and said, "Girls should go shopping and buy some clothes and jewelry …"
However, when she accidentally glanced at the bag containing a piece of wood, her words came to an abrupt halt.
Huo Yao changed into slippers and turned to see her mother in shock. She could not help calling out to her. "Mom?"
Song Ning raised her head and opened the bag with both hands. Her heart ached as she said, "Don't tell me you bought a piece of rotten wood when you went shopping."
Other people's daughters usually bought clothes and jewelry. At the very least, they would buy some food and bring it home.
Look at her, she was actually carrying a piece of wood????
Was this even proper?
Huo Yao's lips twitched before she corrected him. "It's sandalwood."
The kind that was worth a fortune.
Song Ning couldn't care less about the sandalwood. All she knew was that her beautiful, adorable, and intelligent image had been completely destroyed by the rotten wood.
Song Ning refused to believe it, so she opened the other two bags and rummaged through them. In an instant, she looked even more hopeless.
Not only was it a piece of rotten wood, but the other two bags were also filled with strange things.
