Their king suffers from chronic chest pain and is sending people to the Great Jin to find a skilled physician to treat him.
If someone can cure the disease, they will gain the king's favor and will be appointed as a clan chief.
Upon hearing Su Wan mention the goddess, he asked with great interest, "Does Brother Su know the goddess's whereabouts?"
Su Wan knew that now was not the time to get rid of Bai Zhiyi, so she smiled and said, "I don't know the whereabouts of the goddess, but I am fortunate enough to have obtained a few of her pills. We are in the same trade, so we should share what we have... If Brother Lu needs them, I can sell them to you."
After hearing this, Luna almost wanted to curse at Su Wan.
That kid is too cunning. I haven't even seen a single coin yet, and this kid has already tried to swindle me.
But thinking of the benefits of obtaining the divine medicine, he held back and said, "Brother Su, you know I'm also a poor man. If I weren't afraid of not having anything to eat this winter, I wouldn't have brought these cattle and sheep here to sell."
This year, their king did not come to the Jin Dynasty to plunder grain during the autumn harvest. It is said that the Jin army launched a surprise attack on the military camps in the western Rong territory, and the king decided to strengthen the defenses.
With no food available, the king had no choice but to collect cattle and sheep from various tribes to feed his 100,000 soldiers.
Luna has no concept of national righteousness; on their grasslands, whoever has the strongest fist is the boss.
If there is no food and fodder this winter, many cattle, sheep and horses will starve to death here, not to mention the worthless human lives.
Besides, he hasn't gotten married yet.
Seeing his hesitant expression, Su Wan took a sip of goat milk and asked, "I'll trade you medicine. One pill costs one hundred taels of silver, and I'll give you six."
She had already thoroughly studied the medicine in Bai Zhiyi's hands. The medicine had a very strong antibacterial effect, which was indeed considered miraculous in ancient times. However, if it wasn't suitable for the condition, taking it would be the same as not taking it at all.
But with so many cattle and sheep in exchange, she can't possibly eat them all in one winter. Should she raise them?
Luna smacked her lips and made a mental calculation.
He had driven sixty head of livestock there himself; while not a grand procession, it was still a respectable number. When he returned, his pouch was empty except for six small pills…
While he was still weighing the pros and cons, Su Wan spoke up again.
“Brother Lu, I think you’re a straightforward person. This medicine is priceless… Besides, if you can cure your king, wouldn’t wealth and glory be within your grasp? How about this, I’ll give you six and a half pills!”
