The dicinal recipe was finally learned, and a brilliant smile imdiately spread across Qin Fang's face.
A Three-Star Rare Prescription, this was undoubtedly an extrely rare and superior recipe, not to ntion its mythical origin. Even if Qin Fang wanted to, it wasn't possible for him not to take it seriously.
Looking at the System's annotations, the Heart Nourishing Pill was a miraculous dicine for treating heart diseases, which made Qin Fang pay it considerable attention.
In the history of human diseases, heart-related illnesses have always been a complex and variable challenge. Perhaps they hadn't reached the level of the world's top five difficult diseases, but they posed a great threat to human life.
If Qin Fang could concoct the Heart Nourishing Pill, then he would essentially have an elixir that could conquer all heart diseases. With systematic research and production, heart disease could very likely beco another mountain of human disease history that was surmounted.
Of course, as the owner of the recipe, such an achievent would not only bring him a great deal of wealth and imnse fa but might also directly lead to a Nobel Prize in dicine.
If it hadn't been for the System's validation, Qin Fang would never have believed it to be true. But, as it stood, the recipe was approved, so there was no doubt about its correctness.
And with his Pharmacopeia Skill akin to a bug, Qin Fang only needed the various raw materials for the Heart Nourishing Pill, and he could refine it directly.
A Three-Star Rare dicine was undoubtedly a high-difficulty challenge. Given his current Skill Level and Proficiency, the success rate of pill refinent would definitely be unusually low.
But as long as he had enough raw materials, Qin Fang believed he would be able to concoct the Heart Nourishing Pill. Once the pill was concocted and with specialized researchers to analyze the components and find a way to mass-produce it, there would undoubtedly be the rise of a juggernaut in the pharmaceutical industry.
"These dicinal herbs..."
However, as happy as Qin Fang was, problems arose as well, which were the dicinal herbs that gave him a headache. Almost none of the herbs' nas were familiar to him, and they resembled the nas of herbs in online gas. But the problem was, how could he find corresponding materials in real society?
As he pondered over this, Qin Fang imdiately felt an intense frustration. It was so hard to co across such a superior dicinal recipe, but it was useless without the materials—truly a devastating setback, as if all his efforts had been in vain.
"No, it can't be like this..."
Though Qin Fang was frustrated, he vaguely felt that the situation might not be hopeless. The recipe was passed down by the great dical emperor Wu Tao, whose dical skills and reputation wouldn't allow him to do sothing so trivial. What's more, the recipe was verified by the System, which ant the herbs did exist in reality, and there was still hope of gathering them.
However, Qin Fang estimated that he first had to correlate each na of the herbs on the prescription with their real-life counterparts...
This wasn't urgent; finding the herbs was going to take a considerable amount of ti. Qin Fang even considered whether he should take a trip to the primitive forest, the only place that still retained its primordial aspects and where these herbs might still be found in significant quantities.
But that would need a well-thought-out plan, and Qin Fang had plenty on his plate at the mont, leaving him with no ti to focus on this issue yet.
"Eh, this piece of calligraphy..."
Having secured the dicinal recipe, Qin Fang wasn't overly concerned about this piece of calligraphy and intended to deal with it quickly. However, when he actually took the calligraphy, which had entirely changed in appearance, into his hands, his eyes instantly widened.
The calligraphy remained the sa, but the characters on it had undergone a significant change. Qin Fang rembered the original font very clearly—it was written in a regular script, appearing very dignified. Now it had transford into running script, acquiring a touch of softness. The contrast between the before and after was extraordinarily striking.
Moreover, Qin Fang discovered that the original calligraphy had not carried any seals or collectors' marks, which could have indicated the origin of the work. But now, he noticed a colophon in the corner of the piece.
"Cai Junmo? Who is that?"
He could barely make out the na from the style of the seal. Although Qin Fang knew only a few famous calligraphers from history.
Wang Xizhi's Preface to the Orchid Pavilion was well-known, and his son Wang Xianzhi was naturally remarkable. The Yan 'Muscles and Liu's Bone' need no ntion, alongside the wild cursive of Zhang Xu and Huai Su, followed by Su Shi, Mi Fu, among others...
Beyond that, Qin Fang really didn't know who else held such a high level of calligraphy skill. Perhaps if soone ntioned a na, he might rember, but this Cai Junmo clearly wasn't among them.
Despite this, Qin Fang didn't underestimate this piece of calligraphy; if anything, he found it quite impressive. It managed to hide a top-tier dicinal recipe in such a way, and after removing the recipe, the style had completely changed.
Qin Fang carefully examined the piece of calligraphy, using his Scouting Skill repeatedly for detection, finally noticing so irregularities.
"There's sothing wrong with this paper..."
The key turned out to be in the use of paper, which actually consisted of multiple layers superimposed upon each other. The topmost was a sheet of paper, the very sa calligraphy scroll that Qin Fang had initially seen, but beneath it lay a separate prescription that, once Qin Fang had studied and learned it, really disappeared, revealing the paper beneath the prescription.
Whether there were more layers below was uncertain, but the simple effect of these three sheets produced two completely different calligraphic works. Such a technically ingenious thod was definitely powerful beyond imagination, yet it was indeed a fact.
Three pieces of calligraphy had been cleverly integrated together, without appearing the least bit incongruous, nearly flawlessly impeccable, making it hard to believe that they were not one but three separate works.
Now that one was gone, the remaining two showed such a display effect, also revealing a signature that Qin Fang planned to have Qiao Zhenfei take a look at when he had the ti tomorrow.
Qin Fang's detection skills were only diocre, far less reliable than the professional knowledge of Qiao Zhenfei.
"I'm close to leveling up..."
Thinking about his detection skill, Qin Fang couldn't help but check his proficiency, which had reached 97%, just a step away from leveling up. It wouldn't be long before he could advance to an advanced detective skill, and Qin Fang was sowhat looking forward to it in his heart.
Interdiate detection skill was far more powerful than beginner level, so an advanced detective skill would certainly be even stronger than interdiate detection, yielding clearer and more accurate results. This would undoubtedly be very beneficial to Qin Fang.
There was no way around it, given the abnormal ultimate mission Qin Fang carried with him. Having an advanced detective skill would make it easier when it ca ti to complete the mission.
"Hey, Brother Fei?"
While Qin Fang was contemplating his detection skill, his phone suddenly rang. Picking it up, he was surprised to see it was a call from Qiao Zhenfei.
"Nothing major! Just wanted to tell you, those two guys were targeting you, and it seems like there's soone behind them. Be very careful!"
Qiao Zhenfei calling ant there had been so results in the interrogation of the two "robbers."
But what Qiao Zhenfei didn't realize was that Qin Fang already knew this; as soon as these two showed up, they were marked with a distinct red glow, and how could Qin Fang not have known they were coming for him?
"Thanks for your concern, Brother Fei, I understand!"
Although the news wasn't of great significance, Qiao Zhenfei was nonetheless expressing his concern, and Qin Fang naturally wanted to show his gratitude.
"Oh, by the way, Brother Fei, I wanted to ask you sothing..."
After a few exchanges of pleasantries and just as they were about to hang up and go to sleep, Qin Fang suddenly rembered the calligraphy scroll and couldn't help but ask.
"Oh, what is it? Just tell ," Qiao Zhenfei said, not feeling there was an issue, as their relationship had grown closer, especially after the events of today.
"Well... do you happen to know if there was a calligrapher from our ancient tis nad Cai Junmo?"
The na Qin Fang wanted to ask about was naturally this one. The scroll was quite extraordinary, not rely for containing a hidden prescription, but also for the skillful rging and transformation of the three pieces of calligraphy. It seed unlikely that they would use the work of an unknown; hence Qin Fang wondered if it might be a work by so famous artist.
"Cai Junmo..."
Hearing this na, Qiao Zhenfei also hesitated for a mont, "Don't hang up. Let check. I seem to have so impression of it!"
His deepest research was still in porcelain, and his knowledge of paintings and calligraphy wasn't as thorough, so he couldn't rember at once. However, a simple "I have so impression" gave Qin Fang the feeling there could be a breakthrough.
"Qin Fang, tell the truth, is it about that calligraphy scroll you bought?"
Before long, Qiao Zhenfei spoke again, but instead of telling who Cai Junmo was, he first asked this question.
"Right, it's about that calligraphy scroll. After I ca back and took a closer look, I noticed so things, and the na Cai Junmo appeared on it. I wanted to ask you about it."
Qin Fang couldn't ntion the prescription, but he had to show the scroll to soone sooner or later, so he started from there.
"You're serious? I'm coming over right now... Oh, right, Cai Junmo is Cai Xiang, one of the four great calligraphers of the Song Dynasty, along with Su Shi, Mi Fu, and Huang Tingjian!"
After saying that, Qin Fang heard a click as the phone on the other end hung up; it seed Qiao Zhenfei was truly on his way. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welco to vote for it with recomndation tickets and monthly tickets at Qidian. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
