"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Yan Shu glared at him. "How could I use you to test poison just for the sake of satisfying my hunger? What do you think of me?"
Xiao Jihan remained unfazed. "Don't forget, the heritage I received from the Medicine King wasn't limited to alchemy."
Oh right, he also learned medical skills.
Yan Shu still felt a bit uneasy. "Are you sure?"
"Absolutely." Xiao Jihan nodded. "Rest assured, medical and alchemical skills are complementary. Many alchemists struggle because they can't understand the properties of the herbs they're using. They merely follow established recipes."
"Without understanding the nature of the herbs, they can't control the temperature and timing based on the properties of the herbs, making it impossible to achieve great success in alchemy."
As he spoke, he pulled out a set of silver needles from his mustard seed pouch, dipped them into the dishes, and then carefully examined and sniffed them.
