Then, he opened the box that contained the precious herbs, and a strong medicinal fragrance wafted out. These herbs looked extremely exotic, and Vice
General Yin had never seen anything like them. They looked a little familiar, as if they passed by these herbs when they were trekking through the jungle during their expedition through the different kingdoms. However, there was no way to tell if he had really seen them or not. Vice General Yin fell into deep thought.
He carefully took out the medicinal herbs and explained their functions to Vice General Yin in detail.
“If the secret medicine you mentioned has medicinal ingredients, is it possible that it could be refined by other doctors? Can it be replicated if they know the method of making this medicine that attracts poisonous creatures?” asked Vice General Yin doubtfully.
The military doctor shook his head and said confidently. “That’s impossible. That secret medicine is the secret recipe of a large tribe in the southern border. The refinement technique is passed down through the generations, and only under very strict conditions. As far as we know, only the previous leaders know the method of refining this secret medicine. It is said that even if
they are in danger, and even if the tribe is destroyed, they won’t reveal the
secret recipe.”
Vice General Yin nodded thoughtfully and asked, “So if we want to get that
secret medicine, we can only exchange it with the tribal leader?”
The military doctor nodded and said, “That’s right, but the possibility of this
is also very small. The secret medicine is the foundation of a tribe to establish
itself and maintain its ruling position. If the tribe leader is not stupid, he will
never give the secret medicine to others or offer conditions that the tribe
leader cannot refuse. As for what kind of offer, that will be up to you, Vice
General.”
Vice General Yin nodded. “An offer they cannot refuse? Alright, I understand.
I’ll be leaving first. Thank you for your help today.”
After leaving the military doctor’s residence, Vice General Yin paced around
and thought for a moment. Later, he walked toward Ming Zhiyan’s residence.
Vice General Yin thought about how to explain it to the General. After all, he
was not an expert. He also wondered if this was the right path. It seemed like
they were still searching around aimlessly like headless flies..
