The Evil Emperor's Beloved

"Hiss!" After the price was shouted, there was a whisper downstairs.

"He is really rich and powerful, worthy of being the second young master of the Leng family."

"You're right. The Second Young Master doesn't lack this little money."

"Hey, I can't grab it!"

.......and so on.

At this time, Luo Yan on the stage shouted, "Is there anyone else who wants to raise the price?"

Luo Yan looked around and saw that no one was raising the price. Then he heard her say

"Ten thousand taels for the first time, ten thousand taels for the second time, ten thousand taels for the third time. Deal. This star feather fan belongs to the gentleman in room number three on the second floor."

Luo Yan picked up the feather fan and showed it again. There were patterns of stars painted on the fan. The moves he performed were elegant and swift, and the wind from the fan was like a sword. It was a top-grade magical weapon, suitable for cultivators below the Jindan level, and indeed very suitable for this show-off.

Then, Luo Yan put the feather fan into a brocade box and arranged for a servant to deliver it to room number three on the second floor.

The servant left quickly with the brocade box in his hand.

After a while, I heard someone knocking on the door of a private room on the second floor. The door opened and a waiter walked in. I heard the waiter's voice, "Sir, this is item number three that you took. Please keep it."

When the servant left the private room again, he saw a silver note on the tray in his hand. It should be the ten thousand taels. Both parties handed it over in person.

In Room No. 3, Leng Tianchang couldn't let go of the feather fan and played with it twice. Then he nodded frequently and said, "Not bad, not bad, this price is worth it!"

Xuanyuan Chen didn't say anything when he saw him like this. There's a saying, "Money can't buy you what you love."

Besides, it’s only ten thousand taels, which is not a drop in the bucket for Leng Tianchang.

......

Luo Yan's voice was heard again on the auction table below, "I believe everyone knows that this time our Treasure Pavilion obtained a very unexpected bottle of medicine, the Body Tempering Pill." After he finished speaking, the audience exploded and began to discuss.

It turned out that everyone outside had received the news that the Treasure Pavilion had obtained a bottle of elixir with similar effects to the Marrow Cleansing Pill, commonly known as the Body Tempering Pill.

Jing Yueli was also surprised. She thought her elixir would appear at the very end, but she didn't expect it to show up now.

And this hairpin...it's simply the modern version of hype.

Luo Yan on the stage continued to introduce, "This pill can not only improve the physical quality of the person who takes it, so that it can strengthen the body and improve the body's ability to resist blows, but also this pill contains a kind of natural spiritual liquid when it is refined. Although it is not as powerful as the Marrow Cleansing Pill, it is precisely because of this that the pill can achieve the effect of tempering the body of the practitioner. It can be said to be a low-level version of the Marrow Cleansing Pill."

When Luo Yan said this, someone jumped out and said, "This is the first time we've heard of the Body Tempering Pill. You said it's almost as good as the Marrow Cleansing Pill. How can we believe it? We haven't seen any effects, so we have to doubt it."

"Yes, yes, this gentleman is right. We have never heard of the Body Tempering Pill. It is hard to convince everyone without seeing its effects."

Seeing that everyone in the audience was talking at the same time, Luo Yan raised her hand and gestured to the audience, signaling everyone to be patient, then waved to the servants in the audience.

A man dressed as a servant came onto the stage.

Luo Yan gestured for him to pour out a Body Tempering Pill from the jade bottle containing the Pill on the auction table, placed it on the tray next to him, and spoke.

"I don't need to tell you what kind of place the Treasure Pavilion is. I'm sure everyone knows it. Although the reputation of our Treasure Pavilion is unquestionable, the alchemist who made the Body Tempering Pill also thought of this and felt that everyone would have such concerns. In order to dispel this concern and to guarantee the reputation of the Treasure Pavilion, this alchemist is willing to take out a Body Tempering Pill and show you its effect. Now we will select a lucky person from among those present to experience this pill."

As soon as these words came out, all the bidders present exploded once again, even more fiercely than before. They all stared at the Body Tempering Pill on the stage, their eyes began to glow green.

It was completely different from the look of disbelief he had just now. He couldn't wait to rush onto the stage and take the pill.

Jing Yueli saw the expressions of the people below and smiled widely, "Oh, her medicine pill will definitely fetch a sky-high price today."

She had told Master Mo and Master Lin before that she could take out a Body Tempering Pill and let the bidders try it, so that they could feel the power of the pill firsthand.

Otherwise, who would be willing to pay a high price for a bottle of unknown elixir? Although this is an ancient elixir recipe, how many people have seen it except for those alchemists with keen eyes or old guys from aristocratic families with some background?

Soon, the lucky guy appeared. He was a middle-aged uncle, with a cultivation level of the late intermediate stage of foundation building. He carried a long sword on his back and was dressed in a black long gown. He walked up to the stage, bowed to Luo Yan and the servant, and said, "I am a casual cultivator, known as Uncle Hong," as a greeting to the two people on the stage.

The servant turned around and saw Luo Yan. After receiving her signal, he handed the tray with the Body Tempering Pill to Uncle Hong.

I saw him pick up the pill with his right hand that had been holding the sword for many years, and put it under his nose to sniff it. A refreshing medicinal fragrance went straight into his nose. He was slightly startled, but only for a moment, and then he threw the pill into his mouth without hesitation.

When the pill entered his mouth, everyone watching below held their breath, waiting to see the effect of the pill. About ten breaths later, Uncle Hong's exposed skin turned red, as if it had been poured with boiling water. His slightly weathered face had begun to twist. He clenched his teeth and clenched his fists, not doubting that he could kill a monster with one punch.

Upon seeing this, Luo Yan immediately stepped forward and asked him to sit on the ground to fully absorb the medicinal power of the Body Tempering Pill.

In just a few dozen breaths, the Body Tempering Pill continued to melt in his body. Uncle Hong felt a trace of warmth gushing out from his dantian, and he saw more and more spiritual energy gathering around him. As the blood flowed around him, the spiritual energy spread throughout his body, and the color of his skin gradually faded from like a cooked shrimp.

The spiritual energy in his body was extremely strong, rushing everywhere, and he felt a burning sensation from the inside out.

"Ah!!" It hurt so much that Uncle Hong growled.

"What a powerful spiritual energy! A body-tempering pill has such a powerful effect!"

"I feel like the spiritual energy around me has become purer!"

Uncle Hong didn't care about the pain and immediately circulated the spiritual power around his body to flush his meridians. The more he did it, the less pain he felt. Instead, he became more and more excited. He could feel the benefits of the spiritual energy flushing his meridians.

With a "pop" sound, Uncle Hong knew that he was about to advance.

The spiritual energy around the Treasure Pavilion rushed towards him.
