Chapter 926: Find Some Other Way


Pei Rong turned to look at the piece of paper and remained thoughtful.


If it were any ordinary Chinese physician, he would not know how to use these herbs. Even his own father rarely used them.


He was an apothecary, so he had a keen grasp of these rare Chinese herbs and their intended application.


Despite Pei Rong’s curiosity, he knew Lin Shuwen would never tell him the truth, so he did not keep probing the guy.


After all, considering his accomplishments and status at the Apothecaries’ a.s.sociation, he could not be bothered with such minor details.


Pei Rong and Lin Shuwen parted ways after dinner.


Pei Rong went straight back to the Apothecaries’ a.s.sociation after seeing him. He handed the piece of paper containing the Chinese herbs Lin Shuwen needed to his disciple and instructed him to collect them from the inventory manager.


In the past when he was an intermediate apothecary, he only had the right to request rare Chinese herbs once a month. He also needed to indicate details of the medication he intended to produce.


After he became an advanced apothecary, he had free access to the herbs and was no longer bound by all this red tape.


Despite the change in Pei Rong’s status, he was keen on being friends with Fang Chen.


After all, he was transferred to the capital at such a young age, so he was bound to have a bright future in the political scene.


“Oh yes. There’s a package for you. I think it was sent from home. I have left it in the cabinet for you.”


Just as the disciple was about to leave, he recalled something and turned to point at the cabinet and spoke reverently.


Pei Rong paused when he heard this. He waved at his disciple for him to leave before walking over to the cabinet to retrieve his package.


The package was sent from City S.


Pei Rong narrowed his eyes before he opened it.


The package consisted of an old yellowed book filled with prescriptions and medical theory.


Pei Rong cautiously opened the book and took a look at the prescriptions inside.


He had been researching ancient prescriptions of late.


The Pei family came from a line of doctors, many of them used to be renowned, so a lot of medical texts had been handed down through the generations.


In the past, he had tried reading this medical book as well, but he could not grasp it. Also, there were plenty of medical books at the Apothecaries’ a.s.sociation, so he eventually lost interest in the book.


Since Pei Rong kept hearing the deputy chairman talking about ancient prescriptions recently, he recalled the book belonging to his family, and told someone to send it over.


He was always strong in medical theory. By the time he was 20 years old, he had joined the Apothecaries’ a.s.sociation. Over 20 years have pa.s.sed since then and he had finally become an advanced apothecary.


It was probably very hard for him to keep advancing from now on at this level, so he had to find some other way to do it.


Before long, his disciple came back with the Chinese herbs.


“Master, are you planning to make more medicine?” asked his disciple as he handed a box to Pei Rong.


“Nope,” answered Pei Rong mildly.


He took the box, opened it to check its contents briefly, closed the box, and handed it to his disciple. He said, “I will give you an address tomorrow. I need you to send it over.”


The moment his disciple heard his instruction, he was a little surprised, but he did not dare to probe. Instead, he nodded and said, “Oh yes. Master, I b.u.mped into the deputy chairman on my way back. He would like to see you.”


“Hmm?” Pei Rong looked at his disciple. “Did he mention why?”


“No.”


“Okay.” Pei Rong stood with his hands behind him. He mused briefly before heading out.

The next day, Lin Shuwen received the Chinese herbs from Pei Rong. After calling to check if Huo Yao was free, he sent the Chinese herbs to Tsing University without wasting any time.
