After a pause, as if she had thought of something, Mo Zhu rubbed her palms and continued thoughtfully, “There’s no hurry. Since Old Man Guo is also at home, he must have seen more things than me after roaming around all these years. Let’s go back and ask hi

After saying this, Mo Zhu didn’t stay any longer. She immediately left the hospital with Huo Xuan.

After meeting up with Xu Huan and Mo Zhu downstairs, they returned to the Huo residence.

Once she entered the house, as Mo Zhu had expected, Old Guo was sitting in the living room, drinking tea and watching television happily.

Seeing that the few of them had returned after a busy day outside, he raised his head and glanced at Huo Xuan angrily. He grumbled, “Why did you work outside for the entire day? I’m not used to the food sent by the servants. You have to cook tomorrow!”

‘When Huo Xuan heard this, he gently took off his coat and placed it on the sofa. He smiled respectfully and politely and replied, “Sure, Master. I have something today and I went out. I’ll definitely cook for you tomorrow.”

Seeing how obedient Huo Xuan was, Old Guo also shook his head and laughed loudly. It seemed like he was very satisfied with the man’s obedience.

Before he could say anything else, Mo Zhu had already changed into her slippers and walked in from the entrance. Seeing that Old Guo was chatting with Huo Xuan casually, she walked to the kitchen and said to the old man, “There’s a problem with the pill I developed yesterday. Come with me to the

Kitchen to look at the dregs of the pill and help me analyze what the problem i

Once he heard the word analyze from Mo Zhu, Old Guo raised his eyebrows with interest. He immediately stood up and followed the girl into the kitchen excitedly. “I haven’t heard you talk about researching pills for a long time. Now that I suddenly hear it, I’m very curious about this pill.”

As Mo Zhu had not cured the poison in Feng Yu’s body, she was not in a good mood and she did not have the mood to chat with Old Guo. She brought the old man straight to the pill furnace where she had refined the pills yesterday.

Raising her finger to point at the pill furnace, Mo Zhu lowered her eyes and said anxiously, “That’s the furnace I use to refine medicine. As I’ve never refined the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb before, I was afraid that I would fail yesterday and directly refined three bottles of pills. I didn’t expect that

although the refinement process was fine, but after I had given it to the patient today, it triggered him to vomit blood.”

After saying this, Mo Zhu frowned. Although Feng Yu was poisoned with the same poison as her grandmother, she knew very little about this poison and could only explore and study it bit by bit. In addition, her grandmother had been poisoned early, and the poison was far inferior to the one in Feng Yu’s

body. Therefore, she really did not know what went wrong with this pill.

After listening to Mo Zhu’s detailed explanation, Old Guo did not speak. He took two steps forward to the pill furnace, squatted down, picked up the dregs of the medicine and quietly observed them for a few minutes. Then, he placed them under his nose and smelled them.

After a while, as if he had discovered something wrong, Old Guo frowned and said, “There’s indeed something wrong with the refinement of this pill, but if you ask me about the exact problem, I really pinpoint it straight away.”

Ever since he taught Mo Zhu medical skills, this girl had self-studied acupuncture and pill refinement techniques. Now that her skills in all aspects were so high, it was no longer something he could continue teaching her.

Old Guo calmed his heart and carefully pondered over the reason. Then, he looked up and asked Mo Zhu, “What do you make the pills according to? Tell me.”

When Mo Zhu heard this, she bluntly reported the dosage of the pill she had developed for Feng Yu.

Upon hearing her words, Elder Guo put down the dregs in his hand and touched his chin thoughtfully. “From the looks of it, the types and doses of the herbs are all correct. Then what exactly is the reason for the poor effect of the antidote?”

“Could it be that there’s too much poison left in the patient’s body and he had been poisoned for too long, causing the various organs in his body to fail seriously? He’s unable to support the medicinal properties of the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb.” Mo Zhu guessed lightly.

Elder Guo nodded and echoed, “It’s not impossible. To be able to make you use the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb, this poison must not be simple. Since we can’t figure out the reason why the pill can’t be cured, why don’t you use the Soul Returning Herb to refine the antidote pill? The effects of the

Soul Returning Herb are much better than the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb..”
