Huo Yao rummaged through the box and took out a book called, 'Shennong God's Materia Medica'. She pulled up a bench to sit down.
The monograph came from the Shennong clan. It contained detailed descriptions, medicinal properties, and toxicity of over 300 Chinese herbs. It was one of the most detailed ancient Chinese medicine texts handed down through the generations.
Even though many versions of the book were available in the market, they only came with basic introductions. The original text was lost in translation or incomplete, so these modern versions were no good.
Huo Yao's copy was the most complete original of the ancient text that was handed down for generations in her family. Last year, she stole the book from her family through a lot of hard work.
Her family was located in such a remote place that not even courier service was available.
