My Evil Imperial Wife is Too Arrogant

Chapter 35: Causing a Sensation Amongst the Audience

The Marrow Cleansing Pill didnt directly join the auction. There were still many things that were auctioned first.

Lou Mu Yan also won a Purple Monkey Flower that was an ingredient required to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill. As for the other manuals, Spirit Tools and Spiritual Armour, she didnt need them. But overall, she gained a lot from this auction.

The rest in the room also won the items they wanted in general, but because of the appearance of the Marrow Cleansing Pill, they werent in high spirits.

After all the items were auctioned off, Ni Jun smiled and said: The next auction is an exceptionally significant finale item that the Ming Alliance of Merchants just received. The auction of this finale product will also be personally presided over by our Alliance of Merchants high-level Appraiser and the person in charge of the auction of Yanzhou Kingdom, Elder Ye.

[Wow!!] Hearing Ni Juns words, the people below erupted.

What sort of significant finale item could personally bother Elder Ye. He wasnt just a Sword King expert, but also a middle-level Smith. It was rare to see him come out and preside over an auction.

However, it was because of the significance the Ming Alliance of Merchants placed on this that the distinguished guests were ready to make their moves. They were looking forward to this significant finale item.

Hearing the excited chatter of the people below, Ni Jun naturally stood to the side.

Elder Ye walked up onto the auction stage, and behind him was a beautiful woman holding a tray with a white porcelain bottle on it.

Seeing that the auction item was a white porcelain bottle, fierce flames of desire rose in their eyesthis sort of bottle usually contained pills.

Alchemists on Tianling Continent were scarce, and pills were even scarcer. It was already rare that a Grade 1 pill could find its way to the public. This pill must be extraordinary for a Sword King expert to personally come to preside over the auction of it, so everyone was exceptionally expectant and excited. Even those within the private rooms were on the edges of their seats, looking forward to it.

Elder Ye coughed gently, and the audience immediately silences. With a gentle smile on his face that made him appear like a spring breeze, he said: This finale item is personally appraised by this old man, and so it will also be auctioned off by this old man. I believe it will not disappoint everyone.

Seeing countless eyes staring at him fervently, Elder Ye smiled in satisfaction and continued: This time, the finale auction item of our Ming Alliance of Merchants is precisely this Grade 2 pill on this tray, called Marrow Cleansing Pill.

I believe no one has heard of this Marrow Cleansing Pill before, but its effects are Heaven-defying. Although its a Grade 2 pill, its comparable to a Grade 3 pill, and perhaps even more precious than a Grade 3 pill. Elder Ye paused, then added.

A commotion rose from below. They didnt expect that the item being auctioned was a Grade 2 pill that was comparable to a Grade 3 pill, and the name alone made people expectant.

Elder Ye, quickly tell us the Marrow Cleansing Pills effects. Finally, someone who couldnt wait shouted excitedly from below, and he also spoke what everyone was thinking.

Elder Ye laughed loudly: This Marrow Cleansing Pill can wash the marrow and cleanse the body, expand the meridians, and change ones constitution. Its effective to those below Sword Monarch Stage and has no side effects. Even this old man cant help but be tempted, so this old man will also join in on the bidding later.

[Wow!!] There was another uproar below. Everyone was stunned, then a frenzied look appeared. This pill actually had such Heaven-defying effects.

Elder Ye, weve never heard of this pill before, does it really have such an effect? A doubtful voice sounded from one of the private rooms.

Knowing the status of the people in the private rooms were extraordinary, Elder Yes attitude was rather gentle as he nodded: Indeed it does have such effects.

Everyone must know that the young lady of the Imperial Capitals Generals Mansions Lou Clan has the Terminal Meridians constitution, right?

Of course we know! Young Miss Trash from the Generals Mansion, shes so famous, who doesnt know. A young males voice sounded from the private room of the King of Zhenxi that carried ridicule but wasnt the King himself.

Elder Ye quickly concealed the unhappiness in his eyes, smiled and said: Young Miss Lou took a Marrow Cleansing Pill recently and not only did she eradicate her Terminal Meridians constitution, but she also advanced directly from an Initial-Phase Sword Apprentice to an Initial-Phase Great Sword Master.

Im sure everyone here knows that its impossible for a person with the Terminal Meridians constitution to cultivate to a cultivation base above Sword Apprentice. It was a condition even high-level Physicians couldnt cure, but the Marrow Cleansing Pill has accomplished it.

Seeing the people below show incomparably shocked expressions, Elder Ye threw out even more shocking news: Theres also a very important point, and that is, after Young Miss Lou consumed the Marrow Cleansing Pill, other than eradicating her Terminal Meridians Constitution and unblocking her meridians, she also more than doubled the width of her meridians.

This was also what this old man personally confirmed just now. The meridians in her body are indeed more than twice the width of ordinary people. So what did this mean? This meant that after taking the Marrow Cleansing Pill and improving your constitution, the speed of absorbing the Spiritual Force of Heaven and earth would also be much faster than others. This is definitely something you could ask to meet but not ask to obtain¹. I wont need to say much more as Im sure everyone knows its value now.

The news provided by Elder Ye completely stunned the audience, and even the experts in the private rooms displayed a burning desire, wanting to put this Marrow Cleansing Pill away into their own pockets.

After Elder Ye introduced the effects of the Marrow Cleansing Pill, he handed the auction back over to Ni Jun and sat down in the audience to participate in the bidding.

Ni Jun was also tempted, but he didnt have the strength and financial resources, so he could only adjust his mentality, put on a smile, and start the auction according to Elder Yes instructions.

The Ming Alliance of Merchants didnt stipulate that their members couldnt participate in the auction. On the contrary, if a member did participate, then during the transaction, they could enjoy a two percent discount. This was also a benefit for the members of the Alliance of Merchants.

There were countless Sword Masters that wanted to join the Ming Alliance of Merchants but those that were successful were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns². One needed both good resources, and naturally, the ability.

I believe that what Elder Ye said is very clear, and everyone must understand the value of this Marrow Cleansing Pill. I wont say much more now. Let the bidding begin. The starting price is ten million ink-gold coins.

As soon as Ni Juns voice fell, the bidding started one after another: Twenty million.

Thirty million.

Fifty million.

Eighty million.

The price continued to climb and when it was near the end, Elder Ye also bid: One hundred million.

But the price of one hundred million didnt stop the enthusiasm of those participating as the price was still rising wildly.

One hundred and ten million.

One hundred and twenty million.

Two hundred million. The price of two hundred million exploded from a private room.

Elder Ye cast his gaze towards that private room, and a sliver of understanding rose in his eyes, but it didnt stop his desire for the Marrow Cleansing Pill, Two hundred and thirty million.

Two hundred and fifty million.

Two hundred and sixty million. Suddenly, another person joined from another private room.

Two hundred and seventy million. Elder Ye continued.

Two hundred and eighty million. There was slight rage in this voice, probably because it had reached their baseline.

The person in the other room fell silent, then continued: Two hundred and ninety million.

Three hundred million. Elder Yes face changed slightly, but his tone was still relaxed. He had gained a lot of savings since joining the Ming Alliance of Merchants over the years, so it was fine.

The price exceeded the baseline of the other party, and in the end, the other two people in their private rooms had no choice but to stop. After all, in a small, medium-strength kingdom like Yanzhou Kingdom, there were very few people who could take out more than three hundred million ink-gold coins.

In the end, Elder Ye won the Marrow Cleansing Pill for three hundred million ink-gold coins. Several people pitied that they missed the Marrow Cleansing Pill because they didnt bring enough ink-gold coins and decided to enquire about the origin of the pill after the auction.
