"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.

"That would be…" The old man hesitated slightly.

After a brief thought, Katherine took out something from her pocket and tossed it over to him.
