The noise Li Yi and his friends made while brewing the medicine was too loud, and the news about him and Qiao Ya had spread on the campus forum, so everyone wanted to see the "scumbag," and more and more students gathered.
Not long after, an instructor came to inspect the area and discovered that they were using eight earthenware pots to boil medicine.
The teacher came over to take a look and found that the Chinese medicine was almost ready.
"You can turn off the heat now!"
Sun Lan and Jiang Huihui turned off the heat of the medicine they were simmering in their clay pot.
Qiao Ya was about to turn off the fire, but Li Yi stopped her, saying, "Don't turn off the fire yet, it needs to simmer for another five minutes!"
Qiao Ya listened to Li Yi and didn't turn off the stove.
Instructor: "Student, you can turn off the heat now, or the water will boil dry."
Li Yi smiled and said, "Teacher, thank you for your kindness. However, this medicine is different from ordinary medicine, and it needs to be decocted for a while longer."
"Do you even know how to brew medicine? It's almost dry, why aren't you turning off the heat? What difference could there be?" the instructor said anxiously.
Li Yi: "Teacher, don't worry. I'm better at brewing medicine than anyone else!"
The supervising teacher rolled his eyes, thinking that since it was just the students fooling around, it didn't really matter.
She stood aside and watched to see if he would boil the medicine until it was dry.
The students watching also started discussing it:
"Pshaw! He doesn't know how to brew medicine at all!"
"What a waste of medicinal herbs!"
"He's just putting on an act in front of girls. Let's see how he can keep up the act once he's out of the picture!"
Soon, five minutes had passed.
Li Yi turned off the fire in all six clay pots.
But he didn't stop. He picked up six clay pots one by one, filtered out the dregs, and left six portions of liquid medicine.
Then, the six clay pots were washed again and the water inside was dried.
Li Yi then mixed the medicinal liquid from the six clay pots, pouring some of the liquid into one pot, then pouring some of the liquid into another pot, and so on...
Li Yi was like conducting a chemistry experiment, systematically mixing the medicinal liquids in the six clay pots, and finally mixing them into three clay pots in different proportions.
Li Yi placed the three clay pots on the stove, without adding water, and continued to simmer them.
The instructor couldn't stand it any longer: "Student, what are you doing? The Chinese medicine has already been brewed, and you're just pouring it around, mixing it up so the medicinal effects are unclear, it might even become poison. Is this medicine still usable?"
