Changbai Mountain is the natural treasury of traditional Chinese medicinal herbs in the East! It grows all kinds of rare and precious medicinal materials. The Three Treasures of Changbai Mountain—ginseng, gastrodia, and everlasting grass—are famous all over the world!" In his haste, Wu Hua lumped all three treasures of Changbai Mountain together as medicinal herbs.
George was a veteran researcher in the field of medicine and knew his herbs inside and out. He was well aware of the properties of ginseng and gastrodia, especially wild ones, which were exceptionally rare.
So he asked, "Wu Hua, you said Changbai Mountain is a base for Chinese medicinal herbs. Does that mean ginseng and gastrodia are very abundant there?"
