Chapter 9: Finally meeting Master Fei, teaching him how to make medicine

Two years have passed, and the seven-year-old Lin Yi has grown a lot taller. Compared to when he first came, Lin Yi has obviously become stronger and his skin has become shiny, mainly because of the good food and the regular exercise.

He has not seen Mr. Fei for two years, but Mr. Fei's image is deeply imprinted in Lin Yi's mind.

Lin Yi can already quickly identify hundreds of herbs, and his sense of smell for herbs is relatively sensitive. I believe that in the near future, he will truly step into the hall of herbs.

Gentiana, with short rhizomes and yellowish color, is mainly used for...

When Lin Yi remembered the last herb in Yaofeng, he let out a long breath. At this time, he was already nine years old. He finally knew every plant and tree in Yaofeng. He was very excited. All these years of hard work have not been in vain and finally paid off.

In the past few years, Lin Yi only knew Senior Brother Liu Ren and Senior Fei, who he had never met. However, Senior Brother Liu Ren couldn't wait any longer half a year ago, so he asked him to pass a letter to Senior Fei, left Yaofeng, and walked alone in the world to explore his pharmacology.

When Lin Yi first entered Yaofeng, he heard from Senior Brother Liu Ren that when he had learned something, he would leave Yaofeng and continue to pursue pharmacology. He just didn't expect time to pass so quickly.

Over the years, Lin Yi is really grateful to Senior Brother Liu Ren, who taught him to recognize medicine and read bit by bit. When he first came to Yaofeng, he was only five years old, and it was Senior Brother Liu Ren who took care of him meticulously.

Although Lin Yi was very reluctant to see Senior Brother Liu Ren leave, he did not stop him, but only wished him well, hoping that he could realize his wish, but he didn't know when he would meet again after this separation.

Lin Yi walked into the bamboo house and took out the book. It had been lying there quietly for these years, and it also witnessed the whole process of Lin Yi from unknown to knowledge.

Turning to the first page, Lin Yi carefully compared the herbs he had learned with the book, and circled any mistakes in time. When he read the whole book, he found that there were more than a dozen discrepancies. Lin Yi compared them with the herbs on Yaofeng in time and corrected the wrong judgments. At this point, the process of identifying medicine was also considered complete.

That night, Lin Yi slept the best since he came to Jiuqingmen. He dreamed of getting married, having children, and having many grandchildren.

At some point, when Lin Yi opened his eyes, he found that it was already daybreak. As usual, Lin Yi got up and tidied up. When he opened the door, he saw a strange yet familiar figure. Lin Yi rubbed his eyes vigorously, and then he was sure that it was Master Fei who came back.

This figure felt so kind, Lin Yi ran up quickly and called out naturally.

"Master Fei!"

Master Fei smiled, feeling very familiar, and said: "Xiao Yi, you have grown up and become much stronger."

After hearing this, Lin Yi touched his head stupidly, and was a little confused.

"Have you encountered difficulties in these years?"

"Master Fei, I have completely understood that medicine book."

Master Fei looked kind and smiled and said: "Xiao Yi, come over with the medicine book later."

Lin Yi estimated that Master Fei was going to test him, and it was time to test the results, so he agreed.

Then he said: "Old Fei, wait a minute!"

As he said that, Lin Yi walked towards the bamboo house and returned quickly with a letter and a medicine book in his hand.

Lin Yi handed the letter to Old Fei and said: "Old Fei, Senior Brother Liu is not sure when you will come back, and has left Yaofeng first. Before leaving, he asked me to give you this letter."

Old Fei took the envelope, opened it and read it, nodded, and said: "I am very happy that your senior brother is pursuing the path of pharmacology. I hope he can achieve something on this path."

"Xiao Yi, come with me."

Lin Yi came to Old Fei with the medicine book and handed it to him. Old Fei opened a page at random and mentioned a medicinal herb at random. Lin Yi answered fluently.

"Saxifrage grass!"

"Crawling branch..."

The two asked and answered each other like this, and there was no mistake in the process. Sometimes, Old Fei only showed Lin Yi pictures and then answered the medicinal herbs, constantly changing in various forms, but Lin Yi still answered fluently.

Mr. Fei closed the book and said with satisfaction: "Xiao Yi, not bad, you have understood it clearly. It seems that you have not been lazy in these years."

"Start tomorrow, follow me to learn how to make medicine."

After that, Mr. Fei took out another book and handed it to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi returned to the room and still felt like he was dreaming. He could finally learn how to make medicine. If knowing medicine is the foundation, then making medicine is the foundation. If you can know how to make medicine, your status will be greatly improved.

After recovering from his shock, he remembered the book in his hand. Lin Yi flipped through the first page for a long time before turning to the second page and the third page. He was so silent that he forgot the time. He didn't know when he woke up.

Looking out the window, he realized that it was already dark. Lin Yi recalled the contents of the book. This was the ocean of medicinal herbs. This book had about 100,000 kinds of medicinal herbs, and the records were more detailed, even with the combination of herbs. If he could completely figure out the herbs in this book, Lin Yi estimated that he would become the ancestor of pharmacists. Of course, that was just a thought.

But at this time, Lin Yi saw a new direction. While learning to prepare medicines, he learned the knowledge in the ocean of pharmacopoeia step by step.

The next day, Lin Yi came to Mr. Fei early, and Mr. Fei took him into the pharmacy. This was Lin Yi's first time here, and a strong smell of medicine hit him.

Fei Lao looked serious and said: "Xiao Yi, the preparation of medicine must be extremely rigorous, and there can be no sloppiness. Every medicine is of great importance. If there is a mistake, it will not save people, but harm them. Each medicine corresponds to one Don’t change the recipes at will. These recipes are finalized after everyone continues to improve them, so you must remember them.”

After a pause, he continued: "Of course it is not impossible to create a formula, but it needs to be continuously tested and it can only be used by others after there is no harm."

Lin Yi remembered Fei Lao's words deeply in his heart.

"There are two types of medicines: liquid and pills. You see, this is the liquid and this is the pill."

Throughout the day, Mr. Fei had been introducing the knowledge of dispensing. Through Mr. Fei's introduction, Lin Yi understood the rigor and difficulty of dispensing. No wonder it was so difficult to become a pharmacist.

Before leaving, Mr. Fei gave Lin Yi a potion formula, and Lin Yi held it in his arms all night long.

The next day, Mr. Fei simply repeated yesterday's content, "Xiaoyi, we will start dispensing medicine today."

"Prepare the liquid medicine first, pay attention to its heat, decoction time, and the order of placing the herbs..."

Lin Yi watched Fei Lao operate. The materials were relatively simple, with only three kinds of blue, sedum, and geranium.

Seeing Fei Lao weighing out the proportions of the three, and the subsequent steps being extremely smooth, Lin Yi thought to himself: "When will I be able to do the same?"

Today I finally saw a complete dispensing process. Lin Yi, who was lying on the bed, silently recalled the dispensing process and fell asleep unconsciously.

In the next few days, Mr. Fei has been teaching Lin Yi how to prepare medicinal solutions. There are more and more types of medicinal solutions and the number of medicinal herbs used has become more and more complex.

One medicinal solution used more than twenty kinds of herbs, but Fei Lao was still so smooth.

More than ten days later, Mr. Fei said: "Starting today, prepare the pills."

Preparing pills is even more difficult.

Fei Lao still started from the simplest one. Seeing Fei Lao so smoothly, Lin Yi felt that it was easy and he quickly refined a pill.

Lin Yi took the pills refined by Fei Lao, and Fei Lao said: "Be sure to pay attention to the proportion of water, smell, color..."

He kept explaining to Lin Yi the pills.

In the days that followed, Mr. Fei had been teaching Lin Yi how to prepare pills. After more than a month of study, he had a preliminary understanding of dispensing medicine.

Today, Lin Yi came to the dispensing room as usual, but did not see Fei Lao's figure. Lin Yi searched for it on the medicine peak, but still did not see it. It is estimated that Fei Lao went out again. After leaving, he didn't know when he would be able to return. See Mr. Fei.

Looking at the huge Yaofeng, he was alone, and suddenly felt a sense of emptiness.
