「March 20th, afternoon.」
Li Lu once again led his men from the County Town, preparing to head south. He took the same group of men as before.
Their mission was, once again, to gather Medicinal Materials.
Two days prior, after speaking with Li Lu at his home, Cheng Zongyang had pretended to send for a formula.
Thus, the "reply" arrived this morning, providing the pretext for Li Lu's early departure to gather Medicinal Materials.
Cheng Zongyang, meanwhile, needed to use the existing Medicinal Materials and grains to produce the first batch of Inner Replenishing Pills.
The ingredients for the Inner Replenishing Pills were neither particularly scarce nor valuable.
The County Town's existing reserves, combined with the Medicinal Materials Li Lu had previously brought back, were enough to produce a sizable amount.
But to last until the summer harvest, they would need far more Medicinal Materials.
