The Evil Emperor's Beloved

“This...this...” The man closest to Uncle Hong couldn’t utter a complete sentence for a long time.

Someone shouted, "He's going to advance!" Everyone came back to their senses and praised the Body Tempering Pill.

As expected, half a quarter of an hour later, Uncle Hong successfully advanced and reached the early stage of the high level of foundation building.

Uncle Hong was also very excited. As a casual cultivator, he had to rely on his own experience to obtain all resources. Now that he had such an opportunity, he felt like he was dreaming.

"Ugh!" A discordant sound broke the joyful atmosphere, followed by a series of "Ugh! Ugh!..." sounds, and then someone pointed at Uncle Hong on the stage.

Uncle Hong, who was standing on the stage, then noticed that his whole body was emitting an indescribable stench, which made everyone quickly flee from his vicinity.

As a qualified auctioneer, Luo Yan could only stand on the stage as before and said, "As you can see, this is the effect of the Body Tempering Pill!" Then he pointed to the pill bottle and said, "There are ten Body Tempering Pills in a bottle. I have tried one, so there are nine left. Now I will auction them by the pill!" Luo Yan paused for a moment, looked around the audience, and raised his voice, "Body Tempering Pill, the starting price is 10,000 taels per pill! Each bid must be no less than 500 taels. Auction!"

"Hiss!" Everyone felt so painful. It was a pity for the pill. Otherwise, there would be an extra one available for competition. It was wasted like this.

Even though it hurt, people still had to fight for the pills, and bidding sounds rose one after another in the venue.

"Twelve thousand taels"

"Fourteen thousand taels"

.....

"Twenty thousand taels"

...

"30,000 taels"

The competition was quite fierce, and the bids had reached 30,000 in a short while. However, so far, there had been no movement in the private rooms on the second floor.

In a private room on the second floor, a woman's voice rang out, "Fifth Prince, we must get the Body Tempering Pill."

After not hearing a reply from the man next to her for a long while, the woman looked at him and saw that he was just staring down, his thoughts drifting somewhere else.

The fifth prince and Jing Yuehan were in this private room.

She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that the Fifth Prince had changed since she came back from the academy this time, and he would be in this dazed state from time to time.

In fact, Prince Xuanyuan Xu was just wondering whether the appearance of such a pill in the imperial capital was related to Jing Yueli's miraculous opportunity, or whether the reclusive master had come to the imperial capital. After she had that so-called opportunity, she not only recovered her memory, but also her spiritual power.

Or maybe Jing Yueli was hiding something during that opportunity.

"Fifth Prince!" Jing Yuehan spoke again and waved her hand in front of Xuanyuan Xu. Only then did Xuanyuan Xu come back to his senses and look at her.

Jing Yuehan spoke again, "We must get the picture of the Body Tempering Pill." His Majesty's birthday is coming soon, and this is the best gift.

Xuanyuan Xu simply replied with a "Yeah!" and started taking pictures of the pills.

Where Xuanyuan Xu saw, Jing Yuehan could no longer hold back the expression on her face. Her facial features twisted, her fists clenched, her nails digging into her palms.

Xuanyuan Xu must be hiding something from her, otherwise this wouldn't happen. Now his attitude towards her has changed, which is not a good sign. After the auction is over, she must investigate it carefully.

After several rounds of bidding, the first Body Tempering Pill was finally bought at a high price of 50,000 taels by Leng Tianchang, who was in private room No. 3 on the second floor.

A hearty laugh came from the private room, "Haha!...Haha! Achen, look!" Leng Tianchang was so happy holding the Body Tempering Pill that he wanted to eat it immediately and then see what the effect was and whether he could also advance like Uncle Hong.

He is doing business outside all year round, so you have to protect his life.

Seeing that he was so proud that he wanted to eat the Body Tempering Pill on the spot, Xuanyuan Chen immediately stopped him and said, "Do you want the two of us to die in this small private room together due to the stench? And become the only two people in the Xuanyuan Dynasty to die due to the stench?"

Leng Tianchang came back to his senses instantly and laughed awkwardly, "Haha, haha, you're right, I almost forgot about this matter, luckily you reminded me!"

Scene inside the private room: Yue Li saw that her first Body Tempering Pill was bid for 50,000 taels, and she narrowed her eyes in a smile, "This money is too easy to earn. Hehehe..." Looking at the dozens of bottles of Body Tempering Pills lying in her space, in her opinion, those were not pills but pure silver.

Tears of happiness flowed from the corners of his mouth, and symbols of small money appeared in his eyes.

Fortunately, she was not carried away by joy. She immediately called the servant, took out the golden token given to her by the Treasure Pavilion and whispered a few words to the servant. After the servant understood, he ran out.

After a while, the servant who had just spoken to Jing Yueli appeared on the auction table and was talking to Luo Yan. The servant saw that she had received his message and then left the auction table.

Soon, the second round of auction of Body Tempering Pills began.

On the stage, Luo Yan cleared her throat, and her oriole-like voice rang out, "I just received a request from the bidder. The remaining Body Tempering Pills will be auctioned in pairs of two. The remaining pills will form four groups."

"The starting price for the remaining four sets of Body Tempering Pills is thirty thousand taels each! Each bid increase must be no less than one thousand taels."

In Jing Yuehan's box, Xuanyuan Xu adjusted his mentality and said seriously, "We didn't take the photo just now, and we missed the opportunity once. We must take the photo this time!"

In the No. 4 box on the second floor, a smart little girl said coquettishly to the man opposite her, "Royal brother, this body-tempering pill is so effective, we must take a group photo, and you have to give me one when the time comes!"

The man opposite the little girl didn't say anything, but an old man next to her interrupted and said, "We stopped by here this time. The other countries probably haven't heard the news yet. This is an opportunity for us and we can't miss it!"

"The elder is right!" the man finally spoke. The three people were the Prince of Ziyun Kingdom, Ye Zhengzhe, who was traveling, and his twelve-year-old sister, Ye Yunxian. The old man was the royal elder of Ziyun Kingdom, Ye Hai.

The little girl curled her lips and said nothing.

Seeing her like this, Ye Zhengzhe coaxed her, "When we take the photo, we must give one to our little Xian'er."

The little girl then became happy again, and the old man next to her didn't say anything when he saw them like this.

He just shook his head in amusement, thinking that the prince doted on his sister too much.

In the special room on the third floor, Mr. Mo was playing chess and drinking tea with their young master. They also heard what Luo Yan said just now. "This little girl is really cunning." Mr. Mo shook his head and scolded with a smile.

The man opposite, wearing a half-mask on his face, held a chess piece in his hand, and looked at the chessboard with a faint smile without saying a word.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Mr. Mo continued, "The little girl came here today, young master you..." Although Mr. Mo didn't finish his words, both of them understood what he meant.

"It's not time yet!"
