Tang Min chuckled.
"Not everyone who comes here was a patient, was it? We are similar. We came here hoping to get to the world-renowned Yeonju Pills and perhaps see the medical techniques left behind by the Divine Physician."
The old man shook his head, still with a smile.
"I apologize for disappointing you, but our medicinal pills are not elixirs."
He explained in a calm voice.
"Everyone has different amounts of stagnant energy in their body, and they suffer from different diseases. We simply observe the patient's body carefully and remove the stagnant energy and disease. It's true that cleaning the blood vessels and meridians helps the internal energy circulate quickly and lightens the body, aiding external martial arts training, but our pills do not increase internal energy. In short, it's a misheard rumor."
A light laugh slipped into the old man's voice.
“Since the Tang Clan’s poison techniques are considered the best, the idea that the Tang Clan’s Master of Ten Thousand Poisons can neutralize every poison under heaven is likely just another popular misconception.”
The old man's gaze briefly shifted to So-hwa. He softened his eyes and turned his body toward the yard.
When Yeon-ah, who had been glancing over from the yard, made eye contact with the old man, she quickly turned her head away.
The old man smiled and called out to Yeon-ah.
"Jeom-chil, it's time to grind the cloth and apply the medicine. Would you do it for me?"
"Yes! I'll do it! Please, continue your conversation comfortably!"
Before the answer was fully out, Yeon-ah dashed toward the thatched hut where the scent of blood lingered.
The old man slid his gaze to the man standing next to the thatched hut and stared at him for a moment. He too reluctantly followed Yeon-ah, or rather, Jeom-chil.
So-hwa furrowed her brows.
Even hearing it again, it was a name that didn't suit Yeon-ah.
Wasn't it a name more suited to a common fortune-teller one might see in a tavern in Sichuan?
It was a name in stark contrast to the bright and radiant child.
"Why, though, does the child have that name?"
Tang Min seemed displeased as well, frowning.
The old man smiled lightly at the remark.
"They say names carry one's fate. When they leave the mountain, we give intentionally insignificant names, hoping that the children will forget the memories of this place. It's my wish that they choose a name fitting of themselves."
Tang Min frowned, seemingly unable to understand.
"Ah, then what if the children don't leave the mountain?"
"Fortunately, all the children we've taken in so far have found their own path and left the mountain."
A strange sense of pride could be felt in the old man's words.rate their eardrums.
"I would like the Tang Clan to take Jeom-chil."
