Elder Chen was stunned, even more distressed than before.
He had read through the herbal compendiums, but he only remembered a few names of the herbs. As for their effects... most of it had slipped his mind. Because they were alchemists, following the alchemical recipes of the great Pill Cultivators was the most time-efficient and effortless method. Over time, he had gotten used to relying on others' formulas, forgetting the specific properties of herbs, and never really considering whether the formulas were correct or if there was room for improvement.
After Nanli, a younger generation, pointed this out, he felt even more guilty.
"You are right. I have much to learn," Elder Chen sighed. "I need to start over and carefully study the herbal compendium again."
Nanli breathed a sigh of relief. "You're not being stubborn anymore, that's good."
Otherwise, the entire external hall might have collapsed by now.
