Chapter 765 The Treasure Of Ancient Medicine

Tyrael was in shock after hearing Yates account of his life.

Many knew that Yates was an illegitimate son of the Leighton family but were unaware of his past

It was not like Yates had said it to anyone either; Tyrael was the first to hear his story.

Ever since he was brought into the Leighton family at the age of six, he had been on the receiving end of constant insults and looks of disdain."

His family members treated him poorly-his biological father, Nicholas, his mean stepmother, and the brother who hated him, Callum. They had always beaten him up and humiliated him at every chance they

came acTOSS.

They would say that his mother was a country bumpkin or a wh're who deserved to die earlier and that he was nothing but a bastard who did not deserve to stay in the Leighton family. Those were the curses he had grown up listening to.

Yates had been holding out against the constant maltreatment in hopes of a day where he would get the chance to escape the horrendous life.

Coincidentally, the Leighton family was facing a tribulation, and Nicholas declared that the one who solved the crisis would become the chairman of Leighton Pharmaceutical. Therefore, Yates took out the thousand-year-old snow ginseng he had been keeping for decades in an attempt to turn his life around and rose triumphantly within the Leighton family. The thousand-year-old snow ginseng was priceless.

A hundred-year-old snapdragon had an average price of thirty million; David's incident had been an outlier.

On the other hand, the thousand-year-old snow ginseng would sell for around one hundred million. It might even surpass three hundred million if someone were to bid for it.

By offering it to Alex willingly so that the latter would help the Leighton family get through their crisis, he would be able to become the chairman of Leighton Pharmaceutical. It would be, more or less, a form of revenge against those who had wronged him.

Tyrael was already stunned to his core when he found out that the thousand-year-old snow ginseng existed. He knew how well Alex was capable of making medicine, so he was sure that the snow ginseng would surely be of great help to the latter.

Therefore, without wasting another second, he fished out his phone to call Alex.

When Alex received the call from Tyrael, he was still at home, playing with his son.

"Dr. Jefferson, Yates of the Leighton family seeks your help. If you can help the Leighton family get past their current crisis, he's willing to give you a thousand-year-old snow ginseng, Tyrael explained, his tone respectful.

Alex stiffened, unable to believe his cars. A second later, he uttered, "Are you sure that it's a thousand-year-old snow ginseng?"

It was rare to come across a hundred-year-old snapdragon, let alone a thousand-year-old snow ginseng. Snow ginsengs were much more useful than snapdragons, especially thousand-year-old ones. They were truly the treasure of ancient medicine.

Alex was interested in the thousand-year-old snow ginseng. There were records of snow ginseng in the book, Empyrean Scripture. In it, it was stated that snow ginsengs older than a hundred years were infused with Mana. If he could get his hands on one, it would greatly help with the growth of his powers.

Alex then patted Stanley's head before saying dotingly, "Stanley, go on and play by yourself for a while. Daddy has something else to do."

Once Stanley left, Alex spoke into the phone excitedly. "Are you sure that it's a thousand-year-old snow ginseng? That thing is just too rare!"

Tyrael replied, "Honestly, Dr. Jefferson, it's my first time seeing one too. I'm not sure if it's really a thousand years old, but at the very least, it's five hundred years old."

Alex trusted Tyrael, so he praised, "Dr. Skyworth, you've done well this time. I've just come up with a kind of pill that will make you a lot younger. I'll give one to you when we meet."

Hearing that, Tyrael began shaking in excitement. "Dr. Jefferson, you're being too courteous! It's what I should do."

A half-smile hovered on Alex's lips. "It's fine. Why don't you bring Yates over now? I'd like to see for myself whether the thousand-year-old snow ginseng is authentic or not."
