——————-
The Wu Family received the medicine and saw it was exactly one bowl’s worth, giving each other headaches with a look.
This Yan Family’s daughter really calculated it down to a perfect flat bowl of medicine!
Moreover, since neither the father and son had a good understanding of traditional Chinese medicine, even if they tasted it themselves, they wouldn’t be able to discern the ingredients!
The Wu Family indeed invited two old Chinese medicine practitioners in advance, but when these practitioners saw the small amount of the medicine decoction, and that the bowl did not contain even a bit of residue or powder, they could at most identify the common ingredients. As for any powder or granules in the medicine, they truly had no way of identifying them.
Nowadays, many of the surviving old Chinese medicine practitioners had suffered a lot during the sixties and seventies. Not only have their bodies suffered harm, but their sense of smell and taste have also been dulled to some extent.
With such a small bowl of medicine, even if they finished tasting it, they likely wouldn’t be able to identify 70 to 80 percent of the medicine ingredients!
"Don’t bother checking, just drink it," Wu Youbai lifted his old eyelids, didn’t make it difficult for others, and directly instructed the house guards to send the two old practitioners away before slowly feeding the medicine to his eldest grandson.
It must be said, with age comes cunning. If he really had both of them take a sip or two to taste the medicine, well, we can only say that the amount of medicine decoction that Commander Wu would end up drinking would definitely be less by a small half.
And indeed, if that small half were missing, Commander Wu’s health would still improve, but certainly not as effectively as drinking the entire bowl.
Moreover, the amount of medicine Yan Jinsu had prepared was precisely calculated based on the degree of detoxification she estimated for Commander Wu!
If they saw that Commander Wu’s recovery was not as expected, Yan Jinsu didn’t need to investigate to know that the Wu Family had tampered with something behind the scenes.
However, although Wu Youbai gave strict instructions, Wu Huaimin was ultimately overcome by his medical addiction. Even though he didn’t take much, just two small sips reduced Commander Wu’s recovery by twenty percent.
Of course, the Wu Family didn’t know this at the time.
After all, Yan Jinsu had provided the full required amount for each dose; once the medicine was in their hands, how they used it was none of her concern.
The decoction was indeed made from genuine Chinese medicinal ingredients; she did not add a single drop of Spirit Core Water, as a precaution against becoming ’soft-hearted’ and ending up with dire consequences for herself again.
For Yan Jinsu, the lesson from Liu Dongzhu was enough for a lifetime.
This prescription is, in fact, the original formula for what would be known as ’Security Pills’ in future generations [do not directly correlate], capable of neutralizing most physical toxins.
The efficacy, frankly speaking, didn’t even reach half of what was developed in later generations.
Even if Yan Jinsu was helping out of a sense of justice, she wasn’t foolish enough to expose her trump cards all at once to outsiders.
After all, Xie Jingchen was still present.
Although Xie Jingchen was loyal to the state, he never failed to profit personally from opportunities, and he certainly wouldn’t relinquish such gains under the guise of morality! Otherwise, how could he provide for his family? He still had to take care of many former brothers from the Rong Army!
Although taking it alone was not as quick-acting as the future generation’s version, if used in conjunction with Yan Jinsu’s Spirit Core Water or Spirit Core Liquid, the effects would definitely be immediate.
However, once bitten, twice shy.
In the end, all these cycles of causality can just be blamed on ’fate’.
