Dialogue[]
Quest Description- (Talk to Shinong)
- Shinong: Hello there, can you hear me? Hello?
- Patient: Um... I feel terrible...
- Shinong: ...Yes, I believe it's a type of migraine.
Migraine?- Shinong: You're just in time, (Rover).
- Shinong: Based on my observation, he has a rare disease that is only documented in a pharmacopoeia.
- Can you treat him?
- Shinong: ...It's tough. The disease can't be completely cured, and can only be alleviated with medication. However...
What is it?- Shinong: I found a prescription in a medicinal book... The note says it has little effect on this kind of migraine, but I think there is a flaw to it.
- Shinong: The prescription uses Silver Lotuses as the main ingredient, but it's not effective for the symptoms.
- Shinong: I recall from the Complete Interpretation of Lost Prescriptions that regular Silver Lotuses and those that are over ten years old have opposite effects.
- Shinong: After observing the migraine's symptoms and checking his pulse, I believe Silver Lotuses which have bloomed for over ten years should be the correct remedy.
- In conclusion, the medicinal text likely mixed them up.
- Shinong: It's possible. There's a chance that a minor omission occurred during the transcription. Unfortunately, this small mistake was enough to render the disease untreatable.
- Shinong: I've administered some relieving medicine to the patient. (Rover), could you go to the nearby hill and collect some Silver Lotuses that are over ten years old? I'll wait here for you.
- You can count on me.
- Shinong: Thanks, (Rover).

- (Hand the ten-year-old Silver Lotus to Shinong)
- Shinong: This is it! It fits perfectly with the description in the pharmacopoeia. Well done, Rover!
- Shinong: I'll start concocting the medicine now... Please wait.
- After a while, the patient takes the medicine and quickly regains consciousness.
- Patient: ...Um. Wh-what happened? Did I... Oh right, I passed out again.
- Shinong: It's because of your migraine.
- Patient: Did you help me? It's an old ailment. I've been managing it with medication, but I often...
- Patient: ...Huh? But I feel so much better than before. How is that possible?!
- Shinong: I'll write you a prescription. Take the medicine as directed for a week and you should fully recover. If you still feel unwell, feel free to contact me anytime.
- Patient: Fully recover? But my doctor said my condition is incurable. Are you... some kind of miracle workers?
- Shinong: ...I'm just a regular doctor.
- Patient: Where is your clinic? I'll make a banner for you and send it over as soon as I get home!
- Shinong: No, no, there's no need for that. (Rover) is the one who gathered the herb. I just...
- Wrote a prescription?
- Brewed the medicine?
- Shinong: ...I just did what any doctor would do.
- Patient: Nevertheless, please accept my deepest gratitude and respect for both of you.
- Shinong: I've made a lot of progress recently and have finished revising the pharmacopoeias in Hongzhen.
- Shinong: I'll send them to the clinics. Hopefully, what I'm doing can benefit more people.
- Where's your next stop?
- Shinong: Next? There's a long journey ahead. The world is vast, and there are countless pharmacopoeias to rectify. I'm not sure how many I can complete.
- Shinong: But I will do my best.
- Then, good luck.
- Shinong: May our paths cross again, (Rover).
