Chapter 146: Priceless

Min Yu put out the incense and placed it back into the box carefully as he replied. “That’s what it smells like.”

The look of shock on Zhuo Yun’s face swiftly transformed into joy. He said, “If it’s authentic nerve-soothing incense, then it might help to improve your health.”

Min Yu contemplated for a couple of seconds and continued. “No. It’s much more special than the nerve-soothing incense I used earlier.”

Zhuo Yun was speechless because authentic nerve-soothing incense was far too rare and was considered priceless. If Huo Yao’s incense were better than that, then it would cost... Zhuo Yun gulped back his saliva. He did not dare imagine how much it was worth.

Zhuo Yun recalled how he had shockingly called it poor quality incense and shamelessly asked his master for it. Furthermore, he had wanted to use it to remove odor at home... In an instant, Zhuo Yun wanted to dig a hole and hide underneath.

Fortunately, his master did not get fooled by him. If his master really gave it to him, that would have made him a sinner.

But Zhuo Yun’s eyes landed on the box of incense once again. He thought hard about it before he said, “Why don’t we get Old Mr. Pei to authenticate it?”

He trusted Min Yu’s words, but if this incense was indeed more special than the average nerve-soothing incense, then he had to confirm whether it was good for his master’s health.

Zhuo Yun did not recall Huo Yao’s previously spoken words to Min Yu telling him that the incense would be useful to him.

30 minutes later, at the Imperial Medicine Store.

Old Mr. Pei lit a stick of the nerve-soothing incense. His expression altered when he smelled it. His hands trembled as he pointed at the incense and said, “It’s genuinely nerve-soothing incense. The incense maker is a genius. He added a lot of Chinese medicine to the incense. The sandalwood in the top note is good for nerve soothing, while the Chinese herbs in the back note can help with organ recovery. No one would dare to make such an incense without decades of medical experience.”

“Brilliant! Just brilliant!” applauded Old Mr. Pei.

Then he raised his head to look at Min Yu and said, “This nerve-soothing incense was probably custom made.”

Min Yu looked at Old Mr. Pei with a frown and asked him. “Why do you say so?”

“It’s because all the Chinese medicine added to it, were targeted towards your physical condition. Five flavor concentrate and formasan gum are strong medicines. If you consume them orally, they might harm your body, so I didn’t dare add them to your medication.”

Old Mr. Pei smiled bitterly as he shook his head before he continued to speak. “But now these medicines have been grinded into powder form and mixed with sandalwood. By using them externally, it will maximize their efficacy. That’s why I said the incense was probably custom made for you.”

Min Yu mulled over his words with a profound look in his eyes.

Old Mr. Pei looked at him with anticipation and said, “Young Master Min, could you introduce the incense maker to me?”

Min Yu shook his head and laughed. “Honestly, someone gave this incense to me, but I am sure that she doesn’t know anything about medicine.”

A look of disappointment surfaced in Old Mr. Pei’s eyes, but he did not continue to probe any longer.

Heng stood next to Old Mr. Pei. He was the middle-aged man who had sold the medicine to Huo Yao. When he heard the medicines which his master mentioned, he suddenly recalled the young lady who came by to buy the same ones yesterday. She had also asked about sandalwood before she left.

But he quickly shook his head. How could there be something as coincidental as that?

“Old Mr. Pei, do you mean that if Master continued using this incense, he would be cured?” asked Zhuo Yun.
