Chapter 745 – The Rules Laid Down by That Person

The conversation between An Hua and the cleric was not loud, but the room was too silent, so everyone else could still clearly hear their words and then develop their own worries.

If the creator of the pill were to make their identity known, they would assuredly obtain the greatest benefits due to the pill that they made. It would certainly not just be wealth, but also power and authority. However, it was very obvious that this person had never desired these sorts of benefits…but why? Was it to ensure their mystery, or for their safety?

An Hua still did not understand why the Imperial Court and the Orthodoxy were incapable of finding out this person's identity. Could this medicine called the Cinnabar Pill possibly be ambrosia from the Divine Kingdom? It must be known that this medicine would be promptly distributed to the various military headquarters at set intervals, which would assuredly leave behind many clues. For instance, someone had to be in charge of distributing the medicine.

”The Wenshui Tang clan.” The cleric knew what she was thinking and answered her question. ”Delivery and distribution of the medicine is the responsibility of the Tang clan.”

The hospital was located on the broadest street of the Mount Song Army headquarters. Across from it was the most critical area of the headquarters while behind was an inn standing on a street lined with plum trees. This inn was the most famous and most luxurious inn in this fort and it was packed every day. However, many people were unaware that the most expensive room in this inn was only separated from the Sacred Hospital by a single wall.

A middle-aged man silently sat in this room upon a palace armchair, his expression rather gloomy. This was not a sign of his mood, only an indicator that he was exhausted from having far too many matters on his mind. This person was dressed very simply, but his clothes were made with the finest of materials, indicating that he was wealthy but wanted to conceal it. He was most likely someone involved in commerce.

The sound coming from behind the wall was so weak that even the best of robbers would find it difficult to hear. However, he had his head lowered as he listened with incredible focus. It was like he really could hear the details of this conversation. From this fact, one could vaguely guess that this person had quite the extraordinary cultivation. It was highly likely that he was a true expert.

The conversation in the Sacred Hospital continued.

An older doctor said, ”This is a matter that everyone on the frontlines is concerned about, so someone has always been investigating this matter. Right now, it can be guaranteed that the Wenshui Tangs are responsible for transport and distribution, but are not the actual owner of the Cinnabar Pill. We can even say with confidence that not even the Wenshui Tangs know who that person is.”

This sounded almost absurd, but it was probably true. Moreover, at the very beginning, what people cared about more was how the Wenshui Tangs would divide up the medicine.

What was the most precious thing in the world? It was naturally life, which could not be retrieved. A medicine that could bring back a life was undoubtedly a treasure that everyone desired.

One who held the power of distributing this sort of medicine essentially held power over many people's lives.

This was an extremely terrifying power and also an equally heavy responsibility.

From a certain perspective, giving this power to another was actually just pushing the responsibility on someone else, simply avoiding the responsibility.

In An Hua's view, a person that was able to make the Cinnabar Pill could only be an honest and generous person whose heart cherished all living things, so they could not be this sort of person.

”This person did not completely pass on the authority to the Tang clan. Beforehand, they laid down many rules.” The cleric smiled at her and explained, ”The first rule was to forbid them from investigating his background or asking where the name 'Cinnabar Pill' came from. They also forbid anyone from analyzing the medicine to get its composition.”
