My Evil Imperial Wife is Too Arrogant

an Initial-Phase Sword Apprentice to an Initial-Phase Great Sword Master.

“I’m sure everyone here knows that it’s 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 couldn’t 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: “There’s 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 won’t need to say much more as I’m 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 didn’t have the strength and financial resources, so he could only adjust his mentality, put on a smile, and start the auction according to Elder Ye’s instructions.

The Ming Alliance of Merchants didn’t stipulate that their members couldn’t 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 qi’lin 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 won’t say much more now.
Let the bidding begin.
The starting price is ten million ink-gold coins.”

As soon as Ni Jun’s 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 didn’t 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 didn’t 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 Ye’s 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 country like Yan’zhou Country, 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 didn’t bring enough ink-gold coins and decided to enquire about the origin of the pill after the auction.

1it’s so rare it’s practically unobtainable for the majority of the population.

2popular idiom meaning something is very, very scarce or rare.
Qi’lin is often translated as ‘unicorn’, but it’s not quite right, because a unicorn is a separate creature in China (独角兽) so I’m leaving the original pin’yin.
The idiom is 凤毛麟角, but if I just said ‘lin horns’ it doesn’t quite make sense so yeah.
