Chapter 184

Lilac Heart Weed was a rare herb.

Its distinctive aroma was easy to differentiate.

Its herbal aroma was similar to ginseng’s but a little lighter.

Sean had been in the Northwest ever since joining the army with his adoptive father. Everything he

knew was about the Northwest.

Therefore, he was also very familiar with the unique Northwest herb.

Thud.

Sean opened the wooden box and instantly saw what was inside.

A dried herb lay quietly in the wooden box.

As the wooden box was opened, the unique herbal aroma wafted out again.

Even Homer smelled it this time.

The dried Lilac Heart Weed looked ordinary, just under ten centimeters long.

Because it had dried up, even the purple part in the middle was much lighter.

It was ordinary and nothing special.

However, that one herb was important to Sean right now.

“Mr. Lennon, are you sure it’s what you wanted?”

Homer asked cautiously as he leaned forward.

“Yes! It’s Lilac Heart Weed.

“I’m sure of it.”

Sean’s heart filled with joy.

He did not expect Homer to replace Lilac Heart Weed.

“That’s great!

“I’m so honored to succeed in doing something for you, Mr. Lennon.‘

Homer smiled with all his heart.

Sean waved his hands and smiled, but the next moment, his

“How old is this?”

Sean asked, frowning as he stared at the herb.

“Uh… I’m not sure.”

Homer paused before quickly answering.

Lilac Heart Weed was a rare herb.

It was already difficult to replace one.

eyes froze.

Homer had no idea how old it was, nor could he tell.

Sean held out his palm and measured the length of the Lilac Heart Weed with his thumb and

forefinger.

“Nine years. It’s less than ten years old.

“The efficacy… is greatly compromised.”

Sean withdrew his hands and sighed to himself.

Homer immediately got up and asked anxiously.

“Mr. Lennon, won’t… won’t it work?”

Of course, he knew the age of herbs mattered.

You need herbs of different ages for different conditions.

The older it was, the stronger the effect.

If the disease were not serious, the gains from using an older herb would not make up for the losses.

However, if it were a serious disease, a younger herb’s efficacy would be greatly compromised.

Sean shook his head slightly, picked up the Lilac Heart Weed, and put it back again.

The Lilac Heart Weed had a growth cycle of three years.

It took ten years for it to grow to maturity.

What Sean needed right now was a ten–year–old Lilac Heart Weed.

“No, it works.

“But not necessarily in the way I want.

Sean looked at the Lilac Heart Weed with great regret.

It lacked only one year.

However, the difference was significant.

The efficacy of a ten–year–old Lilac Heart Weed and a nine–year–old one had a vast difference.

If the Lilac Heart Weed was more than ten years old, Sean could start working on it right away, and he

would be completely healed in two days.

However, Sean was not sure about a nine–year–old Lilac Heart Weed.

He would be able to recover slightly, but not completely.

Sean pondered for a moment before making his decision.

“Help me replace a small room.

“I’ll work on it first.”

Homer did not hesitate and immediately sent for the other herbs.

Then he provided Sean with the tools he needed while he waited outside the door.

—

Half an hour later.

Sean slowly propelled the wheelchair outside with a square wooden box.

“How was it, Mr. Lennon? Did you succeed?

“How does it work?”

Homer was slightly worried.

There was a process involved in making herbs into pills.

Larson Pharmaceuticals had modern pill–making facilities that allowed for precise control. However, the

tools Sean needed were extremely primitive and could easily go wrong.

Once there was something wrong with a pill, it lost much of its potency at the very least or became

useless at the worst.

“Done.

“But we have to try it to replace out if it works.”

Sean put the wooden box on the table.

Homer was so curious that he could not help picking up the box. He opened it to check after asking

Sean.

Swoosh!

An intense herbal aroma instantly burst forth when the wooden box was opened.

Several herbs converged into one, and the aromas mixed to form an even unique aroma.

Homer dared not touch it. After all, it was something you consume. He only kept his distance as he

looked.

The pill in the box was about the size of a grape.

It was dark red, and the color was evenly distributed.

The color of the pill depended on the medicine, so it did not concern Homer.

However, what concerned him was how evenly the colors were distributed.

Including how even and smooth the pill was that he could not replace a flaw.

“This… this… this… this…”

Homer took a deep breath.

Even herbal pills made by modern pharmaceutical machines were not that even and smooth!
