In addition, refining the Terminal Lucidity Pill proved to be quite manageable.


    All that was required were some readily avable medicinal ingredients.


    Since the auction for the purple ginseng had not yetmenced, Charlie seized the moment to find Graham. He handed Graham a list of a dozen medicinal herbs and materials he needed.


    Graham quickly gathered all the necessary herbs and materials for Charlie.


    Following this, Charlie headed to the lounge that Graham had previously rented, where he proceeded to refine four Terminal Lucidity Pills right on the spot.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Chinese medicine typically involves various medicinal herbs and materials. As a result, regardless of the purpose or variety of the medicine, the color after boiling the herbs remained a deep brown.


    This was also true for pills.


    The Terminal Lucidity Pill’s color closely resembled that of the magical pill he had concocted earlier. Charlie intentionally crafted the Terminal Lucidity Pill to match the size of the previous magical pill, ensuring that it would be indistinguishable to the naked eye.


    Once hepleted the process, Charlie returned to the auction hall and discreetly handed Anthony the four pills while no one was watching. He also retrieved the remaining one and a half magical pills from Anthony for safekeeping.


    Atst, the moment arrived for the auction of the rare three-hundred-year-old purple ginseng.


    The host took the stage and announced, “Now, we will begin bidding on our final medicinal herb: the three-hundred-year-old purple ginseng! Before we start, we invite the esteemed Dr. Simmons toe onstage to personally appraise this extraordinary purple ginseng for us!”


    Anthony had already epted the organizer’s invitation to appraise the purple ginseng before attending the expo. Therefore, when the host called for him, he promptly strode to the center of the stage, taking the remarkable purple ginseng in his hands.<fn8fd9> Find the newest release on F?nd-Novel</fn8fd9>


    After a careful examination of the purple ginseng, Anthony dered, “Ladies and gentlemen, I believe that this superb purple ginseng is actually around three hundred and fifty years old, if not more. I can confidently say this is indeed the best of the best! So, you can all bid with confidence today!”


    The crowd erupted in astonishment upon hearing Anthony’s assessment.


    Initially, they thought the purple ginseng was merely three hundred years old. Who would have guessed it was actually over three hundred and fifty years? This revtion was nothing short of extraordinary!


    Charlie couldn’t help but admire Anthony at that moment. He hadn’t anticipated that Anthony would urately determine the age of such high-quality purple ginseng. Clearly, Anthony possessed exceptional knowledge and skills in Chinese medicine.


    At that point, the host smiled and added, “Dr. Simmons is a renowned physician with expertise in both ancient and modern medicine. Just a few days ago, he performed a medical miracle by curing a patient with high paraplegia. Therefore, I believe everyone can trust Dr. Simmons’ honest appraisal of this superb purple ginseng.”


    As Anthony returned to his seat, he suddenly heard a voice behind him. “Dr. Simmons, high-level paraplegia is a terminal illness that neither Chinese nor Western medicine can cure. How did you manage to do it? I find it hard to believe you actually seeded. Was it just luck?”


    Turning around, Anthony recognized the speaker and smiled. “Chelsea Fox! What brings you here instead of at the National Medical Center?”


    The mention of the National Medical Center left those nearby in shock.


    The National Medical Center holds a prestigious reputation, and any representative from there is considered a top medical expert in the country!


    Chelsea chuckled at Anthony’s words and replied, “I came today to see if you could truly cure high-level paraplegia. With such a mysterious im, I’m skeptical!”


    Anthony smiled softly and said, “It might just be rumors, so you really don’t have to believe it.”


    Chelsea was taken aback by Anthony’s humility. She had expected a more assertive response. Since he had outright denied curing high paraplegia, she found herself at a loss for words.


    At that moment, the host announced, “We will now begin bidding for the three-hundred-year-old purple ginseng. The starting price is set at five million dors, with each bid increasing by no less than one million dors. Let the biddingmence!”


    The host then stepped aside with a smile.


    As soon as he finished speaking, Jeffrey, sitting in the back row, quickly raised his paddle and shouted, “Ten million dors.”


    Everyone was left stunned, as they did not expect the price of the three-hundred-year-old purple ginseng to double with the very first bid.
