Chapter 288: Immortal of Medicine and Immortal of Herbs (3)
“Oh, you mean the Immortal of Herbs? I’ve heard about him through my father-in-law.”
“Yes. He’ll arrive this evening—he’s my disciple.”
If he was the Immortal of Herbs, then he was the one my father-in-law mentioned whenever he brought up the Immortal of Medicine.
Judging by the way he was always referenced alongside the Immortal of Medicine, he must be of comparable skill, which meant he wasn’t a bad choice, at least in terms of qualifications.
However, there was something that concerned me, so I asked the Immortal of Medicine again.
“Then are you saying we need to use decoctions?”
“Yes. Pills or decoctions would be best. If it’s really urgent, you could try using medicinal acupuncture like you said, but treating it with pills or decoctions would be more appropriate. That’s the usual treatment for pulmonary inflammation.”
Though not entirely sure, it was true that even in my previous life, pneumonia was typically treated with antibiotics—either taken orally or injected.
But what I was most concerned about was whether Elder Geumdo could ingest anything at all.
Considering that most spirit beasts don’t eat food, it seemed wise to check if Elder Geumdo could actually consume food or medicine.
After all, spirit beasts usually don't eat.
When Cho, Hyang, and Bini’s biological mother entrusted them to me, she had said they might eat, but even if they didn’t, it didn’t matter.
