Benjamin had already mentally prepared himself to be incensed. But after hearing this price, he wanted to curse out loud.
“Alright, 40 billion it is,” Benjamin said. For the sake of curing Travis, he had resolved to go all out. After all, money could be earned back.
However, Nelson seemed displeased. “Mr. Lloyd, my century-old white herb may not match the value of century-old dragon root. But this price difference is quite significant.”
Benjamin was at his limit. He had no choice but to add another ten billion to Nelson’s demand.
Fortunately, both Merlin and Nelson were men of their word. The medicinal herbs were delivered to Benjamin overnight.
The next morning, Benjamin brought Travis to look for Sebastian. “Dr. Miracle, all the medicinal herbs have been gathered. You can treat my son when you have the time,” Benjamin said politely.
“Bring the herbs over for me to inspect,” Sebastian said calmly.
Benjamin clapped his hands, and a group of people immediately entered. Each of them carried a box. Upon opening, the boxes contained rare medicinal herbs.
Among them, the most eye-catching ones were century-old dragon root, century-old white herb, century-old fungus, and century-old frostbloom. Each of these herbs was a true rarity, a priceless treasure.
Sebastian remained calm on the surface but was ecstatic inside. If he had to gather these herbs himself, it might’ve taken him a decade or more.
Although the Supreme Nexus and Phoenix Corporation, which he founded, were superior to the Lloyd family, they started late and lacked deep roots. It was difficult for them to compare in terms of social connections with an ancient and prestigious family like the Lloyds.
“Very well. Take me to the alchemy room, and I’ll refine them into Purple Miracle Pills,” Sebastian said.
“Dr. Miracle, can the Purple Miracle Pills really cure my son?” Benjamin asked. Despite the Lloyds’ vast health, spending a few billion on these herbs was still quite depressing.
“Of course, and it’ll cure him completely,” Sebastian said confidently.
“With those words from you, I can rest assured. Let me take you to the alchemy room,” Benjamin said with relief. As long as Sebastian could cure Travis, spending a few billion would be worth it.
The Lloyd family’s alchemy room was quite large and even had an alchemy pot. But it fell short compared to the Sanders family. Although it also had a small-scale Spirit Gathering
Formation, its effectiveness was mediocre.
Nonetheless, the alchemy pot was still decent enough to refine a batch of Purple Miracle Pills without any issues.
“Alright. The rest of you, leave,” Sebastian ordered.
“Dr. Miracle, we’ll stay nearby and just watch. We won’t disturb you,” Benjamin insisted. He was worried that Sebastian might secretly consume the medicinal herbs.
“Pill refinement requires intense concentration, and I can’t afford any disturbance. If you wish to stay, then fine. But if the refining fails, don’t blame me,” Sebastian warned.
“Dad, let’s wait outside.” Upon hearing that, Travis hurriedly pulled Benjamin out and closed the door.
“That old geezer is truly despicable. One day, I’ll tear him limb from limb,” Rainey said angrily.
Benjamin quickly reassured her, “Rainey, I know you’ve been wronged. Once he cures your brother, I’ll hand him over to you for punishment. You can exact any revenge as you see fit.”
Rainey’s mood improved slightly, and she felt relieved.
Inside the alchemy room, Sebastian picked up the century-old frostbloom and consumed it after everyone left. This was a holy medicine for healing injuries. After finishing, he sat cross -legged and began refining.
The visible wounds on his body, which had not been healed, began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye.
