"Hmm?" When the indifferent old man heard the names of the herbs Katherine was searching for, his eyes twinkled with amusement.

There weren't many that would use a Millennial Gentiana Scabra and a Green Dribble Gramineae. At the very least, it would be impossible for the named herbs to find their place in the local modern era of medication. However, the olden days were different.
