Chapter 11 Refining Potion
Seeing that Zachary had remained silent, the teacher on duty said awkwardly, “Zachary, if Mr. Yan didn’t make a special application, I’m afraid…”

Zachary snapped back to his senses and quickly waved his hand with a smile, “I was negligent. I don’t need Snow Ginseng and dried antler. Please change them to White Ginseng and China root, and increase the dose by three taels and two taels respectively.”

“White Ginseng and Hasbrouck root?” The teacher muttered. He looked down at the prescription and said to Zachary worriedly, “The Snow Ginseng and dried antler are the herbs of warm nature. Although White Ginseng also belonged to that type, Hasbrouck root is the herb of cold nature, which would have the opposite effect. Are you sure about this?”

Although the teacher on duty was just in charge of the herb storage for the School of Chinese Medicine, he was very clear about the basics of Chinese medicine. Seeing that Zachary had casually changed the prescription into other ingredients with a different dosage, the teacher couldn’t help feeling a little confused, and even concerned.

Zachary was clear about the usage for each ingredient. However, the mechanism of action for the refining potion was not as simple as merely nourishing the body. It involved the interaction between ingredients in order to achieve various pharmacological effects, such as strengthening the body and enhancing the pneuma.

Although it would seem unsuitable to replace the Snow Ginseng and dried antler with White Ginseng and China root, the pharmacological effect of the refining potion would only be slightly affected based on the mechanism of action in the refining potion. There would be no problem with the overall pharmacological effect as a result.

Of course, it would be very troublesome to explain all that to the teacher on duty. Therefore, Zachary smiled and said, “I’ve copied the formula wrongly. So, I changed it to the correct formulation.”
