Chapter 815 - 816: Go Home and Pay Tribute
With Sun Yiyi by his side, for Song Xiaodong to still focus on the medicinal recipe, it truly required immense concentration. Fortunately, Sun Yiyi also took this matter very seriously and maintained her distance from Song Xiaodong, fearing that he might succumb to her allure.
Fortunately, Song Xiaodong had received sufficient practice with Sun Yiyi around, and at this moment, without intense physical contact, he could also stabilize his mind.
The prescription that Sun Yiyi brought was definitely a very ancient one, which Song Xiaodong could tell at a glance, because the sequence of mixing the various herbs and the required heat had extremely stringent demands. The last time Song Xiaodong prepared medicine, he had already deeply experienced this.
In terms of pharmacology, Song Xiaodong could still understand the normal herbs, and the configuration was indeed very exquisite. However, after thinking for a long time, it seemed like he could make some sense of it, but there were many aspects that he couldn’t see through, unable to deduce what kind of effects would appear from the prescription.
"How is it?" Seeing Song Xiaodong raising his head, Sun Yiyi immediately asked.
Song Xiaodong shook his head and said, "This prescription is indeed very profound, but to be successful, it requires numerous trials, and I’m not very confident."
"Even you’re not very confident?" Sun Yiyi frowned.
Song Xiaodong said solemnly, "Yes, preparing this kind of medicine mainly requires a tradition. If we could practice it frequently, then of course the success rate would be very high, but such methods have been lost for many years. Even now with the prescription, we have to research anew. This involves differences in current drug properties compared to the past, and many other factors. It’s definitely not something as simple as just throwing the herbs in."
Sun Yiyi nodded and said, "I know, it must be someone very strong in both pharmacology and the nature of herbs who can do this, only such a person can truly master the timing of the herbal materials. These herbs are hard to find; I don’t have many at hand,"
Song Xiaodong shrugged and said, "Then I have even less certainty, so you must prepare for the possibility of failure, and it’s best to have more materials ready."
