Chapter 744 – The Medicine's Significance

The Sacred Hospital was utterly silent—not even the sound of breathing could be heard within the room at the very back. It was even possible to hear that someone was intentionally holding their breath. A few people lowered their heads, a few people nervously looked around, and the atmosphere was oppressive and tense as if someone was spying on this place.

In this tense atmosphere, a person was finally unable to suppress a cough. The general glanced at this person, then asked, ”Ten more days?”

This question somewhat lightened the mood in the room.

An Hua walked with the cleric to the window and whispered, ”Just what is going on here?”

The cleric responded, ”No one can have the herbalist give out the recipe, because up to now, no one even knows who's been making this medicine.”

An Hua was so astonished at this answer that she forgot about the strange mood pervading the room. In a somewhat louder voice, she asked, ”How can this be possible?”

Since this medicine existed in the world and was already in use, there was clearly someone sending it to the various army headquarters. How was it possible that the maker of the medicine had not been found out?

The cleric raised his right hand to hint that she should pay attention to her emotions, but did not give an explanation.

”Even if we don't know the origins of this medicine, what can't we imitate the refining style? Even if there's no recipe, we can infer the ingredients from the composition of the pill.”

Seeing the hesitant expression on the cleric's face, An Hua thought that she knew what he was apprehensive about and persuaded, ”This is for helping the dying and healing the injured, not for business. The lives and safety of the soldiers on the frontlines are far more important than those banal morals and ideals. I'm confident that whether it's the archbishops or you, all of you understand this point.”

The cleric shook his head and said, ”You don't understand. This matter is very complicated, and this medicine is also very complicated. It's incredibly difficult to find the refinement process.”

”From its name, we can guess that this pill's primary ingredient is cinnabar, with the other ingredients complementing it. If it really is so miraculous, the importance should rest on the complementing ingredients.” An Hua stared into the cleric's eyes and then continued, ”But please do not tell me that those complementing herbs are so precious and rare, because that won't convince me.”

There was no such herb in the world that the Orthodoxy or the Imperial Court could not find, but this fact could not make the cleric fall speechless. With a bitter smile, he replied, ”Don't even talk about finding those complementing ingredients. Right now, no one has even been able to distinguish what sort of complementing ingredients were used in it in the first place.”

An Hua was stunned once more, thinking to herself, with all the priests and scholars the Orthodoxy and the Imperial Court have, how could they fail to identify what complementing ingredients make up the medicine and how much is used?

The cleric whispered, ”There are too few pills available for research, and the person providing the pills clearly stated in advance that researching it was forbidden.”

An Hua's interest was piqued by this statement. She asked, ”Just where did this pill come from?”

”As I said earlier, no one knows where the medicine came from. Everyone only knows that one year ago, a bottle of these pills appeared at Blue Pass.”

The cleric's eyes suddenly turned bright as if they were glowing, not out of greed or desire, but yearning and respect.

There had been twenty pills in the bottle that had appeared in Blue Pass. Perhaps because their injuries were too severe or because the mysterious pill refiner had arranged things ahead of time, several soldiers on the verge of death took the pill and survived.

Such incidents continued to occur. No matter how severe the injuries, as long as the patient did not die on the spot, they would recover upon taking this pill. Although the wounded were not able to completely recover every time, with the damaged Ethereal Palaces or fractured meridians of some cultivators unable to recover, they had at least been able to distance themselves far away from the shadow of death.

Everyone who personally witnessed the sight of this pill saving patients all acclaimed it as a miracle.
