“Sir Vice City Lord, may | ask if this Spirit Pill came from the Five Colored Treasure Pagoda?” Someone among the audienceasked aloud.
Drunkard nodded and replied, smiling, “Exactly! And this Spirit Pill isn’t one placed inside by the major Sects just after it opened,it is a true Ancient Spirit Pill. Everyone can also see that the medicinal efficacy of this Spirit Pill had been perfectly preservedbecause of the Pill Veins. If this was not the case, even the most potent of Spirit Pills would have been reduced to ashes after somany years.”
After a Spirit Pill had been refined, it would be stored in a jade bottle to preserve its medicinal efficacy.But even high-grade Spirit Pills would have their medicinal efficacy dissipate with time, becoming useless eventually.
But if the Spirit Pill formed Pill Veins, there was no need to worry about this issue. Pill Veins could absorb World Energyautonomously, thereby maintaining the pill’s medicinal efficacy. Pill Clouds, which were above Pill Veins, were even moreremarkable. Spirit Pills with Pill Clouds would have their medicinal efficacy grow stronger over time.
The longer such a pill was preserved, the more terrifying its medicinal efficacy would become.
If an Origin King Grade pill formed Pill Clouds, its medicinal efficacy might even be comparable to an Emperor Grade pill afterthousands of years of accumulation.
Yang Kai had even seen such a pill before.
When he obtained the Purple Origin Furnace in the Emperor Garden, there was a Purple Veins Dragon Flame Pill that formedPill Clouds inside. This pill was refined by the owner of the True Alchemy Enlightenment Scripture and only the Heavens knewwhy it was still in the Purple Origin Furnace. Ultimately, Yang Kai had picked up a bargain when he obtained it.
The Emperor Garden had been sealed off for over ten thousand years, so this Purple Veins Dragon Flame Pill was nourished byits Pill Clouds for an equal length of time. As such, even though it was only an Origin King Grade Mid-Rank pill, even an ordinaryEmperor Grade pill could not compete with it in terms of medicinal efficacy.
Such a pill was extremely useful, even to Emperor Realm masters.
This was the reason why Yang Kai didn’t dare to take it; he was worried its medicinal efficacy was too powerful and he could notwithstand it.
He dared not make its existence public either as such a pill was extremely unique. There could be no more than ten such pills inthe entire world, so one could imagine just how valuable it was.
Even with his current strength, Yang Kai didn’t dare to take this Purple Veins Dragon Flame Pill easily and could only wait for hisstrength to improve until he could withstand its potency.
“Sir Vice City Lord, what is the grade of this Spirit Pill? What are its uses?” A cultivator on the lower floor asked the question thatwas running through everyone’s mind.
Drunkard smiled and replied, “You don’t have to ask, this old man was about to explain. After many Alchemists studied this pilltogether for several days, they finally came to the conclusion that this Spirit Pill is a Dao Source Grade Mid-Rank pill, and itsfunction is very attractive.”
Having heard Drunkard’s reply, the cultivators in the auction hall suddenly grew energetic and looked up at the stage with raptattention.
“What the exact name of this pill in ancient times was, no one knows for sure, and its pill recipe has long been lost. Sir City Lorddecided to name it the Marrow Washing Pill, and as for its specific purpose... heh heh, you can tell it by its name. It can washone’s marrow and cleanse their physique, allowing one to be reborn and thereby enhancing that cultivator’s aptitude.”
Just as Drunkard’s voice fell, many cultivators in the audience suddenly exclaimed, all of their gazes turning sharp and hot.Even the masters in the various private rooms released their Divine Senses to investigate this Spirit Pill.
It was no surprise everyone showed such a reaction, though. After all, how rare and valuable was a Spirit Pill that could washone’s marrow and cleanse one’s physique to increase one’s aptitude? Besides a few legendary pills and treasures, no such pillexisted in the Star Boundary.
But this Marrow Washing Pill indeed had such a Heaven-defying effect.
Who would dislike having better aptitude? This was something all cultivators dreamed of. Why were some Third-Order OriginKings unable to break through to the Dao Source Realm? Some might be unable to because of their Secret Art, or due to oldinjuries, or some other reason.
But the most common reason by a large margin was simply because their aptitude was insufficient!If they could improve their aptitude just a little bit, they might be able to remould themselves and reach the Dao Source Realm.And the Marrow Washing Pill before them obviously represented hope for such a future, so everyone coveted it.
“No, something's wrong, isn’t it, Sir Vice City Lord?” A man’s voice suddenly spread from a private room. It was the Jiang Familymaster who had bid many times before. “If this pill really had such a magical effect, how could anyone be willing to put it up forauction instead of just taking it for themselves? This Jiang does not believe that any cultivator with even the slightest bit of brainswould make such a decision. Sir Vice City Lord, there’s more to this pill than that, isn’t there?”
Hearing this, those coveting cultivators with fiery eyes were instantly shocked as they felt that the Jiang Family master made alot of sense. If this Marrow Washing Pill really had such amazing effects, which fool would put it up for auction? It could even besaid that City Lord Duan Yuan Shan would immediately have taken it upon learning of its effects.
Just now, Drunkard’s elaborate description had made everyone subconsciously ignore this concern, but now that they werereminded by the Jiang Family master, they immediately woke up and asked Drunkard to give a clear explanation.
Drunkard, looking at the Jiang Family private room, grinned meaningfully and said, “Brother Jiang is correct. Although thisMarrow Washing Pill has a Heaven-defying effect, it does have some drawbacks as well!”
“Oh? I'd like to hear the details!” The Jiang Family master immediately asked.
“First, although this pill is able to wash one’s marrow and cleanse one’s physique, it can only be taken for cultivators at or belowthe Saint King Realm, becoming completely ineffective to those above the Saint King Realm. Secondly, the effects will only lastuntil its user has cultivated to the Origin King Realm. Once the consumer breaks through to the Origin King Realm, theirphysique and aptitude will return to their previous level. Of course, except for these two points, this pill has no other side effectsand will not have any harmful after-effects, of this everyone may rest assured.”
“There’s actually such a strange pill in this world?” The Jiang Family master was taken aback for a while.
Asmile appeared on Drunkard’s lips as he said, “No one knows what the ancient world was like. This old man has no idea whythis kind of pill was created in ancient times, but there are so many capable and eccentric people in history, so it’s not surprisingthat such a pill appeared.”
“This Jiang understands. Many thanks, Sir Vice City Lord, for your explanation.”
“Good, this is what this old man ought to explain. Now that everyone has understood the purpose of this Marrow Washing Pill,let's start with the auction. The starting bid is 100,000 Source Crystals and each raise shall not be less than 5,000.”
“100,000!”“150,000!”“200,000!”
Although this Marrow Washing Pill had many limitations, like being useless to cultivators above the Saint King Realm and havingthe boosted aptitude return to its original level after breaking through to the Origin King Realm, it still aroused the interest ofmany people.
This was only natural as all the cultivators participating in the auction had their own juniors and heirs. This pill might be uselessto them personally, but it could still be given to their descendants. There was a massive gap of two Great Realms between theSaint King Realm and Origin King Realm, so if one’s aptitude was improved even for that short span, it could greatly shortentheir cultivation time.
However, its various restrictions doomed this pill to not have too high a price.
The bids soared upwards, quickly breaking through the 200,000 mark.
In the B9 private room, Yang Kai's brow rose as he too began bidding.
Kang Si Ran looked at him with amazement and asked, “Alchemist Yang, do you have a little friend in need of this thing?”
Yang Kai, pondering for a moment before nodding, “You could say that. Furthermore... since | have come to this auction, | can’tjust go back empty-handed, can |?”
“En, | suppose so,” Kang Si Ran nodded. He had also bid on a few useful items before that were relatively cheap, but this wasactually Yang Kai’s first time bidding for anything.
“Alchemist Yang, don’t hesitate to bid, if you don’t have enough Source Crystals, this old master will assist you,” Kang Si Rangenerously said.
“Then | will thank Shopkeeper Kang in advance,” Yang Kai smiled and continued to raise. “250,000!”
The reason why he participated in bidding for this Marrow Washing Pill was naturally because of Zhang Ruo Xi. This ZhangFamily Young Lady just so happened to be a First-Order Saint King and was a prime candidate for taking this Marrow WashingPill.
He might have no friendship orfeelings for this little girl, but he stillwanted her help to unlock the secretsof the Space Spikit Yadeat the end ofthe day! éthaps he would be withZhang Ruo Xi for a long time in thefuture, so it wouldn't hurt him to helpher grow up quickly. It would alsolighten the burden on him if she wasstronger. The content is onNovelDrama.Org! Read the latestchapter there!
Most importantly though, Yang Kai had accepted her while having such plans for her which he had not revealed from the outset,so he felt that giving her a little compensation would relieve the guilt in his heart.
As the price soared, fewer and fewerpeople participated in the bidding aseven though it wares Ancient

When Yang Kai offered 300,000, only a single woman continued to compete with him. This woman was sitting in the lower halland didn’t seem to be too wealthy. She was also only a Second-Order Origin King.
She hesitated for a while before continuing to increase the price.
Naturally, Yang Kai did not give up.
After Yang Kai called out 320,000, the woman let out a sigh and seemed to have given up.
Seeing this situation, Drunkard immediately stepped forward and declared, “320,000 going once, going twice, going three times,and sold. Please go backstage to pay and finalize the deal!”
Yang Kai smiled upon hearing this before promptly standing up and saying to Kang Si Ran, “I'll be right back.”
“Alchemist Yang, please return as soon as possible. If I’m right, the Dao Source Fruit is about to appear,” Kang Si Ran lookedtowards the stage with great expectation.novelbin
Yang Kai nodded and left the room.Walking backstage, he paid 320,000 Source Crystals, and obtained the Marrow Washing Pill.
Spending so many Source Crystals to buy a Spirit Pill was indeed a little extravagant for Yang Kai today; after all, this was almosta third of the Source Crystals he had on hand, and more importantly, it was useless for him.
But in the long run, it was fine.
Furthermore, Yang Kai could alsostudy the ingredients of this MarrowWashing Pill himself, and if he couldderive its recipe, it wees be afgreat
