Chapter 1022
Kat continued nonchalantly, “I don’t really get it, but my mom is the catalyst for their incubation technique. My blood, which is basically my mother’s heirloom, has that incubation effect for medicinal herbs. Honestly, I wouldn’t have known because my father’s so overprotective, but I’m also not sure if it’d work since he’s the one who told me that.”
Frank realized with a start after Kat’s quick summary—so that was why Nash had been so careful with Kat, and why she had a seal in her body.
Still, he shook his head. “I know what you’re getting at, but I have enough herbs for now, don’t worry—”
Before he could finish, Kat had picked up a knife and pricked her finger, drawing scarlet blood.
“What…”
Her determined visage left Frank sighing. “You’re such a brat…”
“Oh, quit overextending,” Kat said solemnly. “I heard from Vicky that you have the herbs, but they’re not old enough to be as effective as before. And you know it’s not easy to get older herbs. Moreover, I have to pay you back a little after you helped me out so much when you were in Morhen. Don’t you agree?”
Seeing that she was serious, Frank had no choice but to accept her offer and gather her blood in a vial.
And he really had been overextending as Kat had said—even though he refined the medicinal herbs he obtained from the Turnbulls and the Loggins into a small, viscous bottle of herbal bath extract, he had the feeling that it was lacking.
Without a natural wonder like the Hale Marrow, the herbal bath extract was effective, but not as apparent as before.
And if it was not apparent, would the rich and powerful of Riverton be willing to part with their money just to try it? What was the point of his farm resort at all?
After a long while of thinking, Frank eventually drew a small speck of Kat’s blood and flicked it into the green extract.
Frank could sense that something was special about Kat’s blood too. It carried a special sweet scent, though he had no idea about the specific attributes—it was red like any other person’s blood.
However, he was also aware of Hundred Bane Sect’s incubation technique, and he was willing to test out the theory.
He just had to refine the herbal bath extract again if he failed—it would not take that much effort, though it would be costly when it came to ingredients. Even so, Frank had enough centennial herbs for now.
Nonetheless, the pale green extract in the bottle started bubbling, its hue turning into dark green.
As the reaction subsided, Frank took a sniff and exclaimed in shock, “What?!”
He remembered the ingredients he had refined into this extract: ginseng, snow lotus, dragonroot, and the likes… each of which were hundred years old.
