Angong Niuhuang Pill is a pill that can save lives at critical moments.
The older the medicine is, the greater the effectiveness of Angong Niuhuang Pills.
Because the only medicinal material used here is wild rhino horn, which has now been replaced by buffalo horn.
Compared with the medicinal properties of wild rhino horn, buffalo horn is naturally much inferior, so modern pills are much inferior to the old pills of the past.
Shen Tianhong happily accepted it and seemed to like it very much.
"Thank you very much, Lao Qiao. I will give it to Qianjun when we get back." Shen Tianhong said with a smile.
At this moment, Chu Yang, who had not participated in the conversation, said, "Mr. Shen, can you show me this Angong Niuhuang Pill?"
Chu Yang found that there seemed to be something wrong with this Angong Niuhuang Pill. He needed to take a closer look to determine where the problem was.
Shen Tianhong didn't pay attention and handed the Angong Niuhuang Pill to Chu Yang's hand.
Chu Yang looked carefully and found out something was wrong with the Angong Niuhuang Pill.
This is indeed Angong Niuhuang Pill, but it is not a real old pill. It is no more than twenty years old. It can be judged by the particle size on the surface of the pill.
The older the pills go, the more uneven the particle sizes on the surface of the pills are. After all, the tools in ancient times are not as modern as modern society. In the past, people grinding medicinal powders were purely manual. The tools were relatively simple and the productivity could not keep up. It was impossible to mix different flavors. The herbs are ground very finely and evenly.
However, Chu Yang was still very measured. He did not intend to point out to his face that the pill was new. After all, it was given to Shen Tianhong by Qiao Jiaming. If he said it outright, it would be very embarrassing.
When Chu Yang took the Angong Niuhuang Pill and looked at it, the Qiao family also cast their eyes at him.
Chu Yang felt ignored by them before, so when Chu Yang asked to see the Angong Niuhuang Pill, they started to notice Chu Yang.
Qiao Yuwei quickly warned in Mandarin with the soft language of Jiangnan Wunong: "Brother, you have to be careful, don't crush it. This is a pill that has been used for hundreds of years. If you pinch a small piece, it will be huge." The loss cannot be measured in terms of money, after all, this kind of pill is about to become extinct.”
Of course Chu Yang knew that this kind of pill was about to become extinct, because the material used in it was wild rhino horn after all. Rhinos are now protected animals, but Chu Yang had a way to improve the medicinal properties of buffalo horn to the same as rhino horn.
This is simply too simple for him.
"The old pills are almost extinct, but new ones can be refined," Chu Yang said.
When the Qiao family heard this, they immediately felt that Chu Yang was too amateurish.
Qiao Jiaming and Qiao Xingchen did not speak directly, but Qiao Yuwei was straightforward. She said bluntly: "Brother, do you understand? The medicinal materials used in refining old pills are no longer allowed to be used, such as rhinoceros horns, tiger horns, etc." Bones can no longer be used to refine elixirs, so this old pill is even rarer."
"Tell me, the raw materials are gone. Even if you refine a new one, it won't be able to achieve the same efficacy as the old pills. Let me tell you, I study Chinese medicine. I studied with a teacher from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hall at Beijing University. , so I know better than you."
Chu Yang smiled faintly and said to Qiao Yuwei: "Actually, water buffalo horns can still be refined to produce new medicines that are as effective as old pills. There are no absolutes in everything."
Hearing this, Qiao Yuwei was a little angry. She pursed her lips and snorted coldly: "Humph, little brother, you are really a layman. Don't argue with me. This is basic pharmacology. Traditional Chinese medicine has very high requirements for raw materials. This This is also one of the reasons why traditional Chinese medicine is gradually declining. If the good raw materials are gone, how can we refine good elixirs?"
Chu Yang did not continue to refute Qiao Yuwei. After all, what Qiao Yuwei said was very reasonable. One of the main reasons for the decline of traditional Chinese medicine is that there are too many differences between the current Chinese herbal medicine and the ancient Chinese herbal medicine. Moreover, Qiao Yuwei is only a freshman at Beijing University. A student, with her knowledge, will naturally not understand that some ancient methods of refining medicine can indeed make up for the shortcomings of current Chinese herbal medicine.
The crux of the problem now is that the so-called century-old Angong Niuhuang Pill given by the Qiao family is actually only about twenty years old, so it is not a precious and rare old pill.
