Wasting no time, Director Zhu repeated Li Xu's earlier analysis—"a floating, large, and forceful pulse," "fever recurring with every bout of sweat," and "Yang Qi escaping to the exterior"—word for word.
There was a long silence on the other end of the line.
After a long moment, Elder Zhang finally spoke, his voice slow. "From the sound of the symptoms, it is indeed the Yin-Yang Exchange described in the *Inner Jing*. This doctor's diagnostic skills are incredibly sharp; he saw to the heart of the matter at a glance. Tell me the prescription."
Director Zhu had made a point to memorize the prescription, so he now recited it fluently: "Sixty grams of Aconite, dried ginger..."
Once he heard the full prescription, Elder Zhang fell silent again.
After a good while, his excited voice came over the phone. "This formula... is brilliant. Truly brilliant."
