Professor Yu shook his head, "Those assistants are indeed the top students of the younger generation, but they still fall short compared to you. The reason for the quick progress is that the Medical College has brought in three more helpers."
"There are other helpers?"
Tang Shu was quite surprised by this, especially since the helpers were provided by the Medical College.
"The higher-ups place great importance on the medicinal properties of Snow Soul Grass. It is not feasible for me to shoulder the entire responsibility alone with only five assistants."
Professor Yu was quite open-minded about it, or perhaps he had anticipated this from the beginning.
The assistants chosen from Imperial Capital Medical University were, at most, graduate students, which indeed meant that Professor Yu was shouldering the responsibility alone.
Given that the esteemed professor was now in his seventies, it was inevitable that he would have times when his energy flagged, and it seemed rather unfair to place the entire workload on his shoulders.
With this explanation, Tang Shu immediately understood.
"If the lab is busy, then I’ll join in as soon as possible to give you a hand," she said.
She didn’t quite understand some of the modern scientific instruments and could only serve as an assistant. But when it came to the knowledge of the medicinal properties of Snow Soul Grass, Tang Shu dared to claim she was the foremost expert in the world.
Those prescriptions were treasures confirmed over hundreds of years of repeated testing by our ancestors from the Tang Sect.
Professor Yu smiled and shook his head.
"It would certainly be good if you could join us. For now, there isn’t too much work, so you can take your time and focus on your studies. However, given the chance, I would like to introduce you to a few people," he said.
The ones he wanted to introduce were the three assistants brought in by the Medical College, who were outstanding figures in the field of medicine. After spending several days with them, he had high hopes for their future development.
It would be beneficial for Xiao Shu to interact more with them for her future.
Tang Shu nodded, accepting his kindness, "Thank you, Professor."
Taking a thick stack of documents home, Tang Shu began to research the component analysis of Snow Soul Grass.
Layer by layer, the chemical formulas slowly unfolded before her eyes, like strings of code.
Having spent the last semester familiarizing herself with some of the chemical formulas of this era, Tang Shu was no longer as unfamiliar with them as before and was getting progressively better at understanding the documents.
Beneath the bright desk lamp, a slender figure sat upright.
As Tang Shu read, she picked up a notebook on the side and began to ponder the prescriptions that Snow Soul Grass could be used in, planning to use modern scientific methods to analyze the reasons why those prescriptions could exert their medicinal effects.
"Indeed, combining the ancient with the modern yields the best results."
In terms of medical skills, the modern age has technology but lacks traditional knowledge; whereas Damo possesses countless prescriptions but lacks the pursuit of the truth.
Each has its strengths and weaknesses.
As a person from ancient times living in this rapidly developing era, Tang Shu felt she had more opportunities to explore areas she had never touched before, in order to further advance the Tang Sect’s legacy.
"It’s a pity, the most powerful aspect of the Tang Sect is the Poison Techniques."
In today’s society, poison is mostly deemed worthless by the majority, researched only by some specialized organizations.
However... that’s also what she was most interested in, something she couldn’t just abandon.
With that thought, Tang Shu’s eyes lit up, and she picked up her phone to call Sister Luo.
"Hey, Sister Luo, do you know some people in renovation? I want to set up a few workrooms in my new house..."
