"Ahem, what did you say!?" The man looked at Ruby with some surprise.
He had been ill for many years, and so many doctors in the country had seen him, both Chinese and Western, and all said that his illness was hopeless and that he would not live to be twenty-five at the most.
It's just that his health has been deteriorating over the past few years and when he went to the hospital some time ago, he had just been given the go-ahead that he would die in six months at the most.
Now this girl in front of him, looking at most in her early twenties, she says she can save him?
Patrick Mccarthy pulled the corner of his mouth, feeling ridiculous. He had actually believed Ruby's words.
"Yes, I mean it. Since you agreed to trade the Seven Leaf Lotus to me, you should have believed me." Ruby nodded very seriously.
"My illness ......"
"Your illness was given since you were born, if I'm not mistaken, you were born with a weak body, plus you were poisoned at a later stage, which injured your lungs, and you haven't been properly tended to. Now the toxin in your body has invaded your heart chakra. If you have seen a Chinese medicine doctor, they should have told you that when the poison enters the heart chakra, it is difficult for the immortals to save you, right?" Ruby interrupted him directly and spoke with conviction.
Patrick looked much more cautious at his words.
Ruby took a pulse and gave a full account of his situation, so it was clear that she was indeed a person of ability.
He put away the doubt in his heart and nodded seriously, "You are right, this is what the president of the Chinese Medicine Association said to me personally, he is a titan of Chinese medicine in H Country, he would lie to me."
"He didn't lie to you, but you meet me now. If I say I can save you, I can save you. If you don't believe me, there's no need to give me the Seven Leaf Lotus." Ruby smiled as she curled her lips, but the words that came out were half-hearted.
Patrick pondered for a moment, his life was only six months away anyway, if he could be cured, it would naturally be best, if not, it was still fate.
Looking at Ruby's confident look, for some reason, he always felt at ease. After just a little thought, he came to a decision: "I'll be grateful to you for my illness."
"No worries. I need some herbs, so when the herbs are found, come to me." Ruby had a good feeling about Patrick. After asking for a pen and paper and writing down the herbs needed, and leaving her contact details, Ruby excused herself and went out.
After the seven-leaf lotus, there was quite a lot more to follow, and the atmosphere outside the auction continued to be lively.
After Ruby went out, many people's eyes fell on her.
The seven-leaf lotus, a legendary sacred medicine, is said to have the effect of prolonging life when used in medicine, and there is even a rumour that using the seven-leaf lotus crushed on the face will make the skin look at least twenty years younger.
Unfortunately, the seven-leaf lotus is extremely rare and has only ever been heard of in rumours, so today is the first time they have seen it.
Ruby returned to sit down beside Levi and watched the auction behind her somewhat carelessly.
The marrow cleansing pill was placed second to last, which was considered the grand finale of the day.
Most of the people who came were there for it, and a round of fierce bidding began just as the item came up.
Ruby looks on with a lack of interest.
In fact, the marrow cleansing pill was only the most basic and low-level pill in the elixir left behind by her Grandfather, but unfortunately many of the herbs could not be found nowadays, so it was really difficult to make a more advanced pill.
