Old Mr. Pei inhaled deeply and told himself not to be calculative with someone who did not know what was good for him. "Let me ask you something. Did the patient get poisoned recently?"
Poisoned?
What was that?
Tong Yu looked perplexed before he shook his head. "No. My friend only suffered from nerve damage."
Old Mr. Pei frowned when he heard this. "That's impossible. This Clear Jade Pill is specially used to prevent toxins from spreading. It can also temporarily protect the nerves from being invaded by toxins. Why would he take it if he wasn't poisoned?"
Tong Yu scratched his head. All he wanted to know was if the pill was edible. Why did he have to talk about being poisoned?
It was not like they were living in ancient times. The more he talked about it, the more unreal it sounded!
Moreover, medical science was much more advanced now. If Huo Xiang had really been poisoned, he would have detected it a long time ago. Why would he have waited until now?
Tong Yu's friend cleared his throat. "Tong Yu, this is Old Mr. Pei, whom I mentioned to you earlier. Old Mr. Pei is very skilled in Chinese medicine. You can say that there is no one else in City S who is as skilled as him."
Tong Yu was shocked to hear this. He instinctively put on a respectful expression and hurriedly nodded to Old Mr. Pei. "Sorry about that, Old Mr. Pei."
Tong Yu paused before he answered Old Mr. Pei's question solemnly. "My friend's younger sister gave me this pill. I didn't know if it was edible, so I brought it here for a consultation. My friend has been checked many times at the hospital. Apart from the damage to his spinal nerves, he is fine."
Tong Yu looked at the hospital director. "I remember you looking at my friend's test results."
The hospital director naturally remembered Tong Yu and nodded. "That's right. The patient only has a spinal nerve problem."
Old Mr. Pei went silent for two seconds before he said, "Let's put it this way. This pill is considered S + grade in the Apothecaries' Association. Very few apothecaries can make it, so it's not an exaggeration to say that it's priceless."
Tong Yu was not in the medical industry, so he did not know how rare S + grade medicine was. However, the hospital director knew. He was shocked when he heard Old Mr. Pei's words.
The medicine produced by the Apothecaries Association was divided into four grades: A, B, C, and D. Grade A was the most precious, followed by Grade BC, and Grade D was the most common medicine. Although it was classified as common, it was still a high-grade medicine that ordinary people could not come into contact with.
S-grade medicine belonged to the special category of ancient prescriptions. Currently, there were only a handful of pharmacists in the Apothecaries' Association who specialized in ancient prescriptions. Their statuses were higher than other traditional Chinese medicine pharmacists, and they were respected wherever they went.
S-grade medicine was already extraordinary. As for S + grade medicine … it was unimaginable.
No wonder Old Mr. Pei was so excited when he first received the medicine.
Tong Yu was dumbfounded. Old Mr. Pei had said that he was priceless.
Although he didn't know what the Apothecaries' Association was, he knew that there was no market for it.
It was just like how Huo Xiang's albums were sold out the moment they were released. In the end, no one could buy them even if they had the money.
Hence, Tong Yu touched his nose. "Is this medicine... that expensive?"
Old Mr. Pei glanced at him with obvious disdain. "A thousand of you can't even compare to one pill."
Tong Yu: "..."
