Chapter 48: The Injured Myna Bird and the Hunter Vine
As he picked out the medicines, he spoke quickly to Bok Taejin and briefly explaining the names and basic properties of each herb.
Once he had gathered everything, he wrapped the herbs together and added, "These medicinal plants are quite special. Different dosages and methods of use can produce opposite effects. So when using them, you must be extremely careful."
From what Second Uncle had said earlier, Bok Taejin already understood that the principles behind using these herbs were similar to traditional chinese medicine.
Many of the medicinal plants used in this world naturally bore strong resemblances to those in traditional chinese medicine from his previous life.
In his past life, he had always been curious about traditional medicine and had read several ancient medical texts and case studies.
Although he had never studied the subject in depth, he had some knowledge of the basics.
Because of this, he did not question how the same herb could produce different effects like Im Beomhyeon did.
Seeing Bok Taejin nod in understanding, and noting that his expression was not one of forced agreement but genuine comprehension, Second Uncle became even more pleased.
He secretly praised Bok Taejin, thinking that he truly was a child from an immortal sect.
Even if he failed at cultivation, his ability to grasp new concepts far exceeded that of ordinary people.
Before Bok Taejin came along, Second Uncle had tried to pass down his medical knowledge to other villagers, fearing that once he grew old, the village would no longer have a skilled doctor.
