Qin Lan nodded once more, retrieved the antidote formula, and placed it on the nearby table. "Is having a master apothecary really all that surprising? Here is the formula. Lingxiao Hall has already prepared the spiritual herbs, leaving only the brewing process. All that remains is for the city lord to issue an order so the townspeople can come and collect the antidote."
The city lord picked up the formula from the table and looked at it, but lacking any knowledge of pharmacology, he could only read the names of the herbs listed. He glanced back at the Huayang Sect disciples behind him, then asked Qin Lan with a trace of awkwardness, "Hall Master... would it be permissible for these disciples of Huayang Sect to take a look at this formula?"
Sensing the city lord's discomfort—after all, since the formula was provided by Lingxiao Hall, many apothecaries kept their recipes strictly confidential—Qin Lan generously waved a hand in a welcoming gesture. "Please go ahead, City Lord. Lingxiao Hall has no intention of keeping this formula under wraps, especially since it is meant to detoxify the city's residents. The city lord is welcome to inspect it however you wish."
