He asked her to analyze it sentence by sentence, and she did so without error.

There wasn't a single mistake throughout the entire process.

For a moment, Zhang Dayong had the illusion that he was being manipulated by his apprentice.

This was no longer him teaching her; rather, it was her tinkering with the knowledge within him, bombarding him with it at a frenzied pace.

It's all over.

He has so many skills, wouldn't she have learned them all in just one or two months?

Thinking about this, he felt a heart attack.

But this was just the beginning. Grinding medicinal herbs, processing poisonous plants, catching poisonous insects and scorpions, climbing trees to raid nests and collect bird droppings—while others needed tools, she moved with the agility of a monkey, seemingly reaching uninhabited places.

He then realized that this was not a monster, but a deity or demon.

A prodigy?

No, no, those four words can no longer encompass her abilities.

This girl can climb trees and swim in the sea; there's nothing that can stump her.

The first batch of itching powder was unearthed. He only made it once, but she made no mistakes at all and copied it perfectly. Based on that, she applied what she learned to create a different kind of itching powder...

Zhang Dayong kept his mouth open the entire time.

He was unable to describe the shock he felt.

While preparing the Five Poisonous Snake Ointment for the second time, Zhang Dayong explained the uses of the medicinal materials and various poisons one by one. The girl listened with great interest and pondered, "Master, using poison to fight poison is a good method. It can harm people, but it can also save them. But this ointment smells too bad. I want to make it fragrant."

This is a bit difficult for the master.

He's sorry, he can't do that.

Unexpectedly, Xu Manzhi succeeded.

She somehow obtained a piece of wood covered in moss, processed it into powder, diluted it a thousand times, and mixed the wood into the snake oil, giving the ointment a pure fragrance.

"Is this top-grade agarwood?" he exclaimed.

Xu Manzhi nodded happily.

"You, you, you, what a waste! Such fine material, used for making incense, so precious, and you actually used it to make snake oil! You've gone mad!" Zhang Dayong's heart ached.

The principles of fragrance are also a kind of toxicology.

These are niche categories, and few people are involved in them. Those who are good at them and understand them are usually from the aristocratic class, and they are not something that ordinary people can access.

Xu Manzhi said indifferently, "So what? It's just a piece of wood. No matter how precious it is, it's meant to be used by people. I'm happy with it."

Anyway, wood has a vast space within it, so you can use it however you want.

She didn't feel sorry for him.
