34 Shadow Grass 1 (1/2)
There was not much information could be found on Shadow Grass.
According to the herbs record that Han Zhengting kept for years, Shadow Grass is a miraculous herb that can help to dispel any poison in one's body.
It comes at a height range of 3 to 50 inches. It looks like any common tall grass.
But, when it grew to 10 inches, the herbs will produce a red flower with a yellow rim. This flower is what one would use to identify the herbs. Unless the flower starts to bloom, it would be hard to locate this herb.
Because of its rarity, Shadow Herbs was sold at a higher price. Its price is even higher than the high-grade ginseng! However, no one knows why it was called Shadow Grass.
Han Zhengting was one of the lucky people who get to see the herbs in its dried form. When he was younger, he had seen his master used the grass to cure a patient. It was how he knew about this miraculous herbs.
But in the old record that her grandfather had, there was something else written on it. It says that the Shadow Grass required a sacrificial.
Mingyue and her grandfather thought about this for a long time. They discussed with all renowned physician in Da Cheng, and at the end, they concluded that there might be something poisonous around the herbs.
The poison is what protecting the herbs. They assume that a lot of people had died in the process of harvesting the herbs. That is what the old record meant by sacrificial.
Jiang Mingyue rushed out of the Imperial Infirmary as her shift ended and headed straight to her grandfather's place.
When she arrived, Mingyue saw her second brother and a few others helped their grandfather to hold up a lady as she was struggling around and speaking gibberish.
