[Today's Intel: Aconite, a Pure Yang Medicine, circulates through the twelve meridians, addressing conditions both internal and external, superficial and deep. It is the foremost medicine for restoring Yang and reversing collapse. Modern herb farmers process Aconite using Daban Liquid. Daban Liquid is a substance of Yin and cold nature, while Aconite is a Pure Yang Medicine. The cold and heat cancel each other out, greatly diminishing Aconite's medicinal effects...]
Li Xu fell silent as he read the new intel for the day.
'So that's how it is.'
He knew a thing or two about Aconite.
Aconite was known as "overnight rot."
It would rot the day after being dug up, so many herb farmers would soak the freshly harvested Aconite in Daban Liquid before slowly processing it.
Gradually, this became common practice in many places.
'No wonder…'
Li Xu had an epiphany.
He remembered his teachers saying back in school that some Aconite was becoming less and less effective.
