Chapter 32: His Highness
In a secret room on the third floor of the Ming Alliance of Merchants, a red-clothed man who wore a silver mask sat languidly on the main seat. Before him stood two people, reporting on the situation of the Alliance of Merchants.
[DONG DONG DONG!!]
A series of knocks sounded from the door, and the man nodded to an enchanting woman who stood beside him. Understanding, she walked over to open the door.
Guardian Lan. Shopkeeper Lu addressed respectfully. The woman glanced at him coolly, then returned to stand behind the man.
Your Highness! Shopkeeper Lu entered the secret room and discovered that there werent just the two elders sitting inside, but even their Highness was present, so he immediately bent down and greeted respectfully.
Ming Xiu said lazily: What matter is so urgent?
Just now, a distinguished guest from private room number nine took out a pill to ask our Alliance of Merchants to auction. However, this subordinate had never seen such a pill, and could only determine that it was a Grade 2 pill. Then he held out the white porcelain bottle in his hands, The distinguished guest said that this pill is called the Marrow Cleansing Pill. Even though its only a Grade 2 pill, but its effect is not lower than the average Grade 3 pill.
Marrow Cleansing Pill. Ming Xiu murmured softly.
Yes! The distinguished guest said that the Marrow Cleansing Pill can wash the marrow and cleanse the body, change ones constitution and expand the meridians. Shopkeeper Lu repeated Lou Mu Yans words.
Let me see. Ming Xiu stretched out his hand.
Upon seeing this, Shopkeeper Lu handed the porcelain bottle over quickly. Ming Xiu opened the cap, and a familiar pill scent filled his nose. His eyes grew darker, asking: Who wanted to auction this pill?
It is Young Miss Lou Mu Yan from the Imperial Capitals Generals Mansion.
Ming Xius eyes revealed an understanding, then an arc rose on his lipsit really was that little woman.
This pill does indeed have the effect of washing ones marrow. Elder Ye1 can go and discuss this matter with Lou Mu Yan in private room number nine. Ming Xiu fell silent for a while, then tossed the bottle he was playing with back to Shopkeeper Lu.
Then, as if remembering something, he said to Elder Ye telepathically: Give her a Silver Ming Alliance Token.
Yes, Your Highness! Old Lus pupils constricted and he supressed the astonishment in his heart. He stood up and nodded respectfully to Ming Xiu.
You can all leave too. Ming Xiu waved at the several people in the secret room to signal them to leave.
The people respectfully withdrew from the secret room, and only the enchanting woman known as Guardian Lan stayed still.
Mo Lan, leave as well. Ming Xiu wore a devilish smile, but there wasnt much warmth in his eyes.
Mo Lan bit her lower lip lightly, and her pretty face revealed slight seductiveness before she stepped forward gracefully and bowed. Yes! Then she took a long look at Ming Xiu and left the secret room.
After leaving the secret room, she concealed the seductiveness she displayed, and there was a chill in her enchanting temperament. Her seductiveness and tenderness would only be left for her master.
Even if her master wasnt interested in her right now, but she believed that one day her master would definitely see her charms and fall for her.
The thick powdery smell that lingered around his nose gradually dispersed after Mo Lan left, and only then did Ming Xius furrowed brows relax. He didnt like to be close to others, but he discovered that the natural, soothing medicinal fragrance that the little woman exuded made him feel rather comfortable.
Not long after, a series of knocks sounded on the door of private room number nine.
Shopkeeper Lu walked in respectfully, bringing with him a sturdy old man with a head of silver, then introduced to the several people: This person is the person in charge of the auction of our Ming Alliance of Merchants here at Yanzhou Kingdom, Elder Ye.
Elder Ye. Lou Mu Yan and company stood up in the private room and addressed.
This old man exuded the aura of a Sword King, so even Yun Lan and the other imperial children didnt dare underestimate him and was very respectful.
No need to be so polite, you can all sit. Elder Ye nodded with a gentle smile on his face, but the faint pressure he emanated still made people afraid to be presumptuous.
After they sat own, Elder Ye looked at Lou Mu Yan and asked with a smile: So its you that used one-hundred million ink-gold coins to buy the Fire Cloud Mink, and now wants to auction the Marrow Cleansing Pill?
Elder Ye, it is indeed this Junior. Lou Mu Yans expression didnt change, keeping her faint smile and her eyes revealed only calmness. There wasnt a bit of the low profile that one would present in front of a high-level expert, but neither was she arrogant either. It was all natural.
Elder Ye cast his gaze on Lou Mu Yan and seeing that her expression was calm, neither humble nor haughty, a faint admiration flashed through the depth of his eyes.
Ive taken a look at this pill. How good is its effect in washing the marrow? Is it suitable for anyone? Elder Yes face was expectant.
This Marrow Cleansing Pill can wash the marrow and cleanse the body, as well as broaden the meridians. Its effective for people below Sword Monarch Stage, but it does vary from person to person in terms of expanding their meridians. For some people, their meridians may only double in size, while for others they may only increase by a tenth of its original size. Its most effective for those ages ten to thirty when taking, but not anyone could take it either as one must be above Sword Apprentice at least. Lou Mu Yan explained without concealing anything.
It actually has such effects. Elder Yes eyes were also burning with desire. He was a Sword King right now, so according to Lou Mu Yan, this was also effective for him. But then a thought came to him: Although you say this, but no one has taken this Marrow Cleansing Pill after all, so we cant judge its effects accurately.
Lou Mu Yan nodded with a smile: Naturally. But when you auction it, you can add one point. Just say that the trash Young Miss Lou Mu Yan, of the Imperial Capitals Generals Mansion, who was born with the Terminal Meridians constitution, after taking this Marrow Cleansing Pill, not only eradicated and improved her constitution, but also advanced from an Initial-Phase Sword Apprentice to an Initial-Phase Great Sword Master.
To think this pill is this miraculous. This old man was just wondering how Young Miss Lou advanced to the Great Sword Master cultivation base. It turns out that you eradicated the Terminal Meridians constitution after taking the Marrow Cleansing Pill.
Elder Ye had suspected that Lou Mu Yan had improved her constitution due to the Marrow Cleansing Pill, allowing her to absorb Spiritual Force and use Elemental Energy. But after hearing her say it so nonchalantly, he was still astonished.
He smiled even more amicably and asked: I wonder if, after Young Miss Lou took this Marrow Cleansing Pill and improved and eradicated your Terminal Meridians constitution, your meridians have also widened?
Of course. The meridians in my body have probably more than doubled. Lou Mu Yan didnt conceal it. The better the effects of the Marrow Cleansing Pill, the more conducive to the soaring of the auction price.
Hearing these words, even the calm expression that Elder Ye deliberately presented crackedit was far too alluring to him. He fell silent for a moment, then asked: Young Miss Lou, could you allow this old man to check your meridians? After confirming that there is one true instance of this Marrow Cleansing Pill working, then its auction price will be even higher.
If her meridians really did more than double, then that meant the speed of absorbing the Spiritual Force of Heaven and earth would also be more than doubled. This sort of pill with Heaven-defying effects would even make him scramble to it.
Sure. Lou Mu Yan nodded in agreement. Her Mental Energy was stronger than Elder Ye, so she wasnt afraid that hed secretly do anything to her.
Elder Ye stretched out his hand to probe Lou Mu Yans veins, then swept it with his Mental Energy. The expression on his face was solemn, then he couldnt help but display excitement. He let go of Lou Mu Yans hand and sighed with emotion: Young Miss Lou, this Grade 2 pill is indeed comparable to a Grade 3 pill.
Hearing what Elder Ye said, the expressions of the people in the private room changed. After Lou Mu Yan took this Marrow Cleansing Pill, not only did she eradicate her Terminal Meridians constitution, but also enlarged her meridians by more than double. Who wouldnt be tempted by such a pill?
