TCM Counterattack: Daily Intelligence

Can traditional Chinese medicine truly heal? Absolutely. But the rampant adulteration of medicinal herbs is staggering. Red ginseng, which should be carefully processed from genuine Panax ginseng, is routinely swapped out by merchants for cheaper American ginseng. With counterfeit ingredients like these, it is no wonder that treatments often fail to work. Li Xu is bound to the Daily Intelligence System, which feeds him critical, actionable alerts. He learns that a reputable pharmacy in the herbal wholesale market has received a shipment of authentic Pangdahai; that a certain distributor is boiling cheap lentils worth twenty yuan per catty, then dyeing them to pass off as Suanzaoren that sells for eight hundred yuan per catty; that three wild Angelica sinensis plants of outstanding quality have matured on the ridge of Taoshan in the western suburbs and urgently need harvesting; and that his neighbor Hu Wenguang is suffering from kidney yin deficiency, requiring a precise formula of goji berries, mulberries, rehmannia, and other carefully measured ingredients. Armed with genuine herbs, masterfully crafted prescriptions, and precise acupuncture, Li Xu sets out to demonstrate to the world what it truly means to cure illness with certainty and restore health at its root.
