The CEO's loser wife: Rebirth of the villainous queen of alchemy Chapter 10 Herbology 102

Chapter 10 Herbology 102

"Hmm... I can't do this. These people and their medicine... They are so short-sighted..."
From the small amount of information she gathered, Su Lin felt that the medicinal field in this world was in fact not that developed.
It was still in its infancy and had a long way to go!
She closed her eyes and tried to summarize the situation she was in, from the observations that she had made.
"Some of the cells in my body have just a little bit extra energy and are expanding more than the others creating havoc. That's all it is..."
"But these people call it terminal illness ?! And they actually flush the body with harmful radiation energy waves to get rid of them ?! "
"That is something you use to attack the enemies with. This is completely insane."
"I don't have the time right now to go through and try to understand all of this useless nonsense."
Murmuring to herself, Su Lin peeled her eyes off of the computer and looked at the big parcel with all of the dried up herbs from the shop...
"Hmph... I am not dead yet! How can this measly disorder send me packing from this world!"
Slowly formulating a plan of action, Su Lin strengthened her resolve and started to work.
She gently removed all her clothes and took a steaming hot shower first. She then cleaned the bathtub thoroughly and filled it with scalding hot water.
She carefully removed all the herb packets and organized them neatly next to the tub. She then gently stepped into the tub full of hot water and seated herself in a cross-legged position.
"Agghh" She let out a moan as her body got used to the hot temperature in the tub. Slowly, it started to feel exceedingly comfortable and relaxing.
She slowly took the first herb, sprinkled a bit of water to make it into a paste, and then swallowed a small portion of the paste. She then gulped a mouthful of water and closed her eyes.
Just like in the hospital, she consciously focussed her attention on each individual cell of her body and how they responded to this medicinal herb.
For now, since she was deprived of spiritual energy and her cultivation base, this was the fastest way to get the properties of the herb.
After a few minutes, she took the next herb and did the same thing...
"So this one cleanses my digestive system and helps with the excretion. And this one improves my blood flow and keeps my organs healthier."
Analyzing the herbs one by one, Su Lin slowly went through all of the herbs which the shop keeper had provided her, mentally jotted down even the smallest effect.
Because they had already lost so much efficacy, these herbs were almost completely useless. So they had only extremely minor effects, if at all.
But one particular herb did interest her.
"Interesting. It probably makes my body cooler by dissipating some internal energy."
"Wonder if I can use it to target the cells with the excess energy..."
Drying herself and changing into fresh clothes, Su Lin got ready for bed. Since it had been a long and tiring day, she immediately drifted off to sleep.
.....
The next day, Su Lin decided to visit the herb farmers residing on the outskirts of the city.
Nothing is as refreshing as a good night's sleep, followed by a freshly brewed cup of coffee.
But Su Lin was throwing up like crazy and her eyes were buried in dark despondent circles.
This is the tenth time already!
If it was someone else, the cab driver would have dropped them off at a hospital by now and gone on his merry way. But this was Mrs. Meng!
He had to obey her orders.
Ahhhh... She looks very sick and weak though... What to do... The cab driver constantly checked on Su Lin as he hurriedly weaved through the morning traffic.
It might be better if she faints. I can just drop her off at the hospital and place a call to Mr. Meng. She does look like she is going to faint...
While the cab driver was debating what to do in his mind, Su Lin quickly washed her mouth and face with a bottle of freshwater and got back into the car.
"I am good. Let's go." She commanded without leaving room for any other alternative.
Nervously, the cab driver started driving again. Just to be safe, he was driving a "teensy" bit faster than the speed limits this time around.
He really wanted to drop her off at the destination before something serious happened.
With her head rested on the car windowpane, Su Lin watched calmly as the blurry images of the tall and flashy buildings in the city passed her.
For a second, a wave of sadness swept over her pale face, as she felt all alone in this strange new land.
Due to special circumstances, she spent most of her previous life alone, lurking in the darkness.
And now... even here, she was all alone.
Unrestrained, her mind loitered in her past memories, evoking pangs of regret and sadness in her demeanor.
Soon they reached the outskirts of the city and the roads here were especially bumpy, which caused Su Lin to be even more uncomfortable.
"Are we almost there ?" Su Lin's dull and frail voice came out.
"Yes, madam. Just 5 more minutes."
She slowly opened the car windows and a waft of fresh breeze instantly assaulted her nose, giving a wave of pleasantness to her tired body.
Her cheeks were immediately blushing red and her mood perked up as well.
"Here madam. This is the fresh farmland and garden the local herb farmers use. We have the Junpang mountain range and also a very beautiful and spectacular waterfall nearby. Please take your time visiting."
Politely bowing, the cab driver immediately got into the car and disappeared from that place in an instant.
