Yamada had seen countless traditional Chinese medicines in his life.
He had even seen two An Gong Bezoar Pills from the Qing Dynasty, part of a museum collection in Tokyo.
But even those two pills, revered as national treasures, couldn't compare to the one before him in color and scent.
This pill was a rich, oily reddish-brown, its texture as fine and smooth as jade.
Just one sniff seemed to clear the mind and even calm the heart rate a little.
"This... is this Natural Bezoar? And... Rhino Horn? And the scent of Musk..."
Yamada was utterly shocked. "Dr. Li, this... how is this possible? How can an An Gong Bezoar Pill of this quality still exist today?"
Li Xu didn't explain.
This was, of course, no ordinary pill you could buy on the market.
He had used intelligence he acquired last year to obtain a top-grade Natural Bezoar from Song Sisi's hometown.
He also bought legally extant Rhino Horn and Musk at a private auction held by the collector Ye Shihui.
