Elder Wu picked up the bowl and drank the medicinal soup inside, smacking his lips a couple of times afterward, nodding in satisfaction.
Gu Jinli didn't stop him; this kind of medicine for treating cold, cough, and fever is harmless even if taken without illness, and given the cold weather today, it also helps prevent colds.
Elder Wu continued to scan the pharmacy and noticed a row of stoves by the window, with pots similar to medicine jars placed on them.
He walked over, saw some black gelatinous substance in the pot, scooped half a spoonful into his mouth, and after a moment, said, "It's the same as the pills I just took. You use these pots to boil the medicinal soup into pills?"
Gu Jinli nodded. "Yes, actually the method is similar to how malt is boiled into sugar."
After hearing this, Elder Wu turned and glanced at her: "You must be fooling an old man, you definitely added something that speeds up solidification. Just boiling couldn't produce these pills."
