"Elder Lü, Pharmacist Yang ran into a problem while testing some medicine. He needs about half a month to recuperate, so the Pharmacist accompanying you down the mountain to Tan City will have to be replaced."
"From the Medicine Hall, three Pharmacists have volunteered for the Tan City mission: Zhang Yiqian, Duan He'an, and Xu Jingye."
"Do you have a preference, Elder Lü?"
A Steward from the Foreign Affairs Hall found Elder Lü Zhenghai to inform him of the unexpected situation with Yang Chan. Such mishaps were actually quite common for Pharmacists.
The best way to improve one's alchemical skills was to test the concoctions personally. Every year, a few would invariably end up poisoned during these tests and need time to recuperate.
"Then have Pharmacist Duan He'an accompany me down the mountain."
Lü Zhenghai paused for a moment after hearing the Foreign Affairs Steward's words before directly picking a replacement.
