Lei Xiao coughed and didn’t harp on the subject. He lowered his head and looked at the data on the paper. A few minutes later, he said, “This plan looks fine. I will help you make the dicine now.”
But then he paused and asked, as if reconforming with her. “Do you really not know how to use lab equipnt?”
“I don’t.”
Huo Yao contemplated and said, “Maybe I will figure it out in the future.”
Lei Xiao touched his nose before putting down the paper. He walked up to the cabinet by the side and retrieved two sets of laboratory gloves, and handed one pair to Huo Yao. “I can teach you how to use the equipnt while I’m at it.”
Huo Yao put on the gloves but rejected him calmly. “It’s fine. Just focus on the ds.”
Lei Xiao thought that Huo Yao was worried that he might get distracted and end up wasting ingredients.
So he dropped the topic. He took the dicine box and walked up to the refining apparatus.
Regardless of ancient or modern refining thods, the sa law applied. The prescription and dosage had to be accurate, right down to the milligram. The slightest variance could make the end product a lot less effective, leading to a failure.
So it was imperative to stay completely focused when refining dicine. Since Lei Xiao rarely did it and Huo Yao was standing right beside him, he felt himself tense up.
Even though Huo Yao claid she did not know how to use the equipnt, he felt the performance pressure building up inside him.
Making dicine was a tedious affair to begin with. Moreover, purifying it was a ti-consuming task. Eventually, they could only finish one-third of the process that afternoon.
At 6:00 pm, Huo Yao noticed how exhausted Lei Xiao looked. He was clearly suffering from ntal fatigue. “Go rest. I will wrap this up.”
After spending all afternoon standing there, she had attained a certain degree of familiarity with the equipnt, so it won’t be hard for her to manage this much.
Lei Xiao looked at Huo Yao. “Forget it. Let do it. These herbs don’t co cheap...”
Before he finished his sentence, Huo Yao had already taken over.
She deftly used the equipnt to refine the dicine. Then she placed the liquid into the filter and removed its sedint. After watching her do it, she did not resemble a newbie, except for being slightly slow in her movents.
Lei Xiao instantly shut up. He had forgotten that Huo Yao was a quick study.
No wonder she told him to focus on refining the dicine. She was actually trying to be nice.
He felt like he was a smart robot, only capable of carrying out instructions.
Two hours later, Huo Yao removed the dicine they had refined. Light radiated off her cold face after she removed her mask, making her fair complexion look translucent. She held the end product next to her nose and took a whiff.
“How did it go?” asked Lei Xiao hurriedly.
Huo Yao poured the dicine into a glass bottle she had prepared and replied with slight displeasure. “Average.”
Although the dicine was a little less effective than the ones made using ancient thods, it ought to be enough to neutralize Huo Xiang’s poison.
She put the lid on and placed the bottle in her pocket.
A complicated expression erged on Lei Xiao’s face when he heard Huo Yao call it average.
He had only refined one-third of the dicine. The rest of the steps were done by Huo Yao, who had claid earlier that she never touched laboratory equipnt before this day. Also, she only spent half the ti required to make it. No one would believe if she still claid to be a rookie.
Despite the 100% success rate, Huo Yao was dissatisfied with the outco.
Oh God! He could not bear thinking about it.
