At this moment, the grand elder was lying on a wicker chair, enjoying tea and listening to music.
“Little Monkey, refill my tea,” the old man called out.
Philip walked over with a few steps, refilled the old man’s teapot, and sat next to him.
The old man glanced at Philip and asked with a faint smile, “Something on your mind?”
Philip squeezed out a smile and said, “Nothing…”
The old man chuckled, looked at the flowers and plants in the yard, and said, “I watched you grow up. I can tell at a glance that you have something on your mind. If you tell me, perhaps I can help.”
Philip thought for a while, got up, and sat down next to the grand elder. He refilled the old man’s teacup before asking, “Grand Elder, I want to ask you something.”
The old man hummed and said, “What is it? Why are you so secretive and why do you look so serious?”
Philip pondered for a moment and asked, “Do you know about the Multidew Herb?”
“Multidew Herb..?”
The grand elder suddenly repeated and sat up from the wicker chair. He looked at Philip very seriously and asked, “Little Monkey, how did you hear about this thing?”
“From Dr. Garfield Gates,” Philip said honestly.
“Why did he tell you about this?” The old man frowned, somewhat puzzled.
Philip grinned broadly and said, “Grand Elder, don’t worry about that. Do you know anything about it?”
The old man lay down again, looked at the birds in the sky, and thought for a while. Then, he reached out and tapped on the wooden coffee table.
Philip understood and immediately refilled his teacup.
“This is a long story. The Multidew Herb is a rare medicine. According to the legends outside, it’s the most important ingredient to produce the elixir of life. It takes 3,000 years to produce one.”
