My Evil Imperial Wife is Too Arrogant

Chapter 31: Wish to Auction the Marrow Cleansing Pill

Upon hearing such a request from the Sword Monarch expert in the private room, Yun Lan and the others expressions changed.

Shopkeeper Lu, I dont have enough ink-gold coins on me right now, can I use an item to auction to deduct from the price instead? Lou Mu Yans expression was natural, but the look in her eyes deepenedit was impossible for her to yield the Spirit Devourer Beast.

Shopkeeper Lu was slightly taken aback, then quickly realised that Lou Mu Yan had plans to continue, so he couldnt help but remind her: Naturally its possible, but this old man still wants to remind Young Miss Lou that if that Demonic Beast isnt that important to you, then it was best to concede it to the Sword Monarch. His temper is extremely weird and is not recommended to offend.

I thank Shopkeeper Lus reminder, but that Demonic Beast is very important to me. Even if its a Sword Monarch expert, they dont have the right to force me to concede to him here in the Ming Alliance of Merchants right? Lou Mu Yan ponderedso what if that person had a weird temper and shouldnt be offended. If a cultivator was afraid the moment they met an expert, then how could they achieve greatness.

Since Young Miss Lou chose such, then this old man will not say anymore. Here on the territory of the Ming Alliance of Merchants, this old man can promise that even if a Sword Sovereign expert arrived, they would still not be able to force our distinguished guests to concede our auction items to someone else. What items do you wish to auction and use to deduct from the price, take it out as you wish. Shopkeeper Lu felt even more appreciation for Lou Mu Yan. Whether it was because she was ignorant or bold, her courage was worthy of praise.

Lou Mu Yan exuded confidence, then spoke to the private room opposite: Apologies, this Demonic Beast is also important to me, so forgive this Junior for not yielding.

Her attitude could be regarded as respectful, but it implied a sense of assertiveness. It was her inherent manner. Her aloofness had long been ingrained into her bones, and she wouldnt change just because she was weaker now, and it was even more impossible for her to succumb to anyone.

Humph. You do not know how to appreciate kindness. The person on the other side snorted coldly, evidently unhappy. Sixty-three million.

Sixty-four million. Lou Mu Yan stroked the edge of the tea, then increased the price. She guessed that the money brought by the other party was already reaching its limit.

As expected, the moment her voice fell, the private room opposite them fell silent.

Ni Jun also didnt expect that someone would dare oppose that Sword Monarch expert, but he retracted his attention, then began to announce the auction results, The distinguished guest of private room number nine bid sixty-four million ink-gold coins. Are there any higher bids?

Seeing that no one bid anymore, he continued: Ill count from ten, if theres no higher bid, then this Fire Cloud Mink cub will belong to the distinguished guest of the private room number nine.

Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three

When Ni Jun arrived at three, the innermost private room on the opposite side announced: Seventy million.

[Gasp!!] Just when everyone thought that the person in private room number nine would win, another bid came out.

With the price so high, many people felt their flesh hurt¹what a prodigal. But many also held the mentality of wanting to watch a nice show as they waited for a response from private room number nine.

That private room belongs to the King of Zhenxi? Yun Lans expression changed as he asked Yun Jin beside him.

Yun Jin also didnt expect that the King of Zhenxi would suddenly interfere, frowned, and said: Yeah, thats the private room of Royal Uncle.

The King of Zhenzi was the younger brother of the Emperor from a different mother, and had the strength of a Sword King. He held a third of the military power of Yanzhou Kingdom, was arrogant, overbearing, presumptuous and unrestrained. With him competing against Lou Mu Yan, the price could be doubled.

Lou Mu Yan knew who the King of Zhenxi was. The relationship between this King and her father had been rather strained. A few years back, they even fought against each other regarding the northwest war. Eventually the Emperor sent the King of Zhenxi to supress a beast tide a foreign race initiated.

But in only one years time, the King of Zhenxi was gradually retreating and the beast tide flooded several border cities. It was only because the Emperor sent Lou Mo Yu that they were able to turn the tide, and in the end, they were able to kill all the foreign races that invaded Yanzhou Kingdom.

This, however, also made the King of Zhenxi resentful, antagonising the Lou Clan everywhere, and was also very unwelcome of Yun Lan who was born to the Empress. This time, he probably knew that it was Yun Lans private room, so he deliberately wanted to compete for the Fire Cloud Mink.

Eighty million. Lou Mu Yan remembered the King of Zhenxi in her heart. However much more money he made her pay for the Fire Cloud Mink, she would be sure to have him vomit out in the future, multiplied.

Ninety million. The King of Zhenxi also directly raised the price by ten million.

Lou Mu Yan narrowed her beautiful eyes and a trace of danger flashed in them, One hundred million.

Humph, dont announce such a high price and be unable to afford it later, itd be embarrassing. The King of Zhenxi snorted coldly.

Lou Mu Yan said coldly: Theres no need to bother you with that.

With the price of the Demonic Beast suddenly rising by more than thirty million, naturally the Ming Alliance of Merchants was the happiest. Ni Jun smiled and asked the same question again to the rest. When he counted to one and there was no increase in price, he announced the ownership of the Fire Cloud Mink.

Meanwhile, everyone in the private room cast their gazes to Lou Mu Yan, wanting to see what she would sell to gather one hundred million ink-gold coins.

There was concern in Yun Lans eyes, thinking that if it didnt work, then he could only use the one credit opportunity that the Ming Alliance of Merchants gave to the Imperial Family and collect the money after the auction. He sure didnt know what medicine his cousin sold in her gourd².

Gu Yan Ran couldnt help but display a look of gloating. This trash, Lou Mu Yan, was indeed a troublemaker. In one auction, not only did she offend a Sword Monarch expert, but also the whimsical King of Zhenxi.

Shell see what this little trash could take out to exchange for the Fire Cloud Mink. If she couldnt take out the money, then the Ming Alliance of Merchants definitely wouldnt let her go easily.

I have fifteen million here. Yun Jin put away the playful smile he had and looked at Lou Mu Yan. His intentions were clearall the ink-gold coins he had would be given to her.

Regardless of why this woman bid for it, if she couldnt take out the money, then she would definitely be punished by the Ming Alliance of Merchants. On one hand, Lou Mu Yan was Yun Lans cousin, and on the other hand, he also had a lot of interest in her, so he couldnt just sit by and do nothing.

Ill accept your thoughts. Lou Mu Yan looked at Yun Jin in surprise, then her lips curled upas expected, one could only tell ones coldness or warmth³ when experiencing adversity.

Yun Lan didnt have anymore ink-gold coins, so his gaze swept to Yun Luo and Xiao Zi Ang. The two tacitly moved their gazes away. They wouldnt pay for Lou Mu Yans wilfulness. They reminded her already when she was bidding.

Seeing Yun Lan turn to her, Yun Xin smiled gently and shook her head, indicating that she didnt have many ink-gold coins with her.

She felt a little complicated towards Lou Mu Yan. Before, when Lou Mu Yan was trash, she didnt mind, but after she saw a different Lou Mu Yan today, it gave her a sense of crisis. She felt that, in the future, the limelight in the Empire Academy could be snatched by Lou Mu Yan, and a sense of unpleasantness rose in her heart.

Chi Yi Xuan had more than ten million ink-gold coins on him, but he didnt say anything. It wasnt that he was reluctant, but he purely felt that Lou Mu Yans temperament was too arrogant and wilful, so it was good to teach her a lesson. It could avoid her causing even more trouble when going out next time, as well as avoid her humiliating him in the future.

Lou Mu Yan paid attention to the reaction of everyone present, then sneered inwardly. She looked up to see Shopkeeper Lu looking at her with a smile on his face, yet not quite a true smile. She didnt say much and handed a porcelain bottle directly to him, Shopkeeper Lu, how much do you think this pill is worth?

Shopkeeper Lu took the porcelain bottle curiously, opened the cap, then a light, gentle pill fragrance spread from the bottle. His entire body relaxed with its smell alone.

He took out a white porcelain bowl that he specifically used to place pills from his interspatial ring and tipped the pill onto it. He lowered his head to take a careful look, then asked: I smell that the pill is a Grade 2 High-Quality pill, but I cant tell what kind of pill it is. I ask Young Miss Lou to tell.

This pill is called the Marrow Cleansing Pill, and its effect is just as its name. It can wash the marrow and cleanse the body, change ones constitution and expand the meridians. Although its Grade 2, it has the effect of a Grade 3 pill. Lou Mu Yan explained indifferently.

What? Theres such an effect. Shopkeeper Lu appeared shocked and was even more astonished inside. This sort of pill was never heard of before. He carefully put the pill back into the porcelain bottle: This old man is unable to appraise this pill. I must ask a high-level Appraiser of the Ming Alliance of Merchants to take a look in order to judge its value. Young Miss Lou, what do you think?

Shopkeeper Lu can do as you please. Lou Mu Yan played with the teacup, looking indifferent.

Then please wait a moment, Young Miss Lou. Shopkeeper Lu nodded with a smile then hurriedly left the private room with the porcelain bottle, evidently very anxious.

Meanwhile, the others in the private room looked at Lou Mu Yan with incredulity. Marrow Cleansing Pill? Why hadnt they ever heard of such a pill. But if it truly had the effect said, then that pills value would be immeasurable, and its efficacy would simply be Heaven-defying.
