“I stood up… Father! I can stand, I can stand!”
Song Family’s second young master was wild with joy, tears in his eyes. Both of his legs were trembling as they gradually adapted to supporting his body once more.
Three years.
More than 1000 days.
He had passed them all lying in bed.
For a martial artist, especially one with rare talent, that was suffering worse than death.
But today, the Song Family’s second young master stood up! He could feel the weight of the earth beneath his feet, feel that his body belonged to him!
What made him even more excited was that after his meridians reconnected, his cultivation was at Meridian Opening Stage Seven, just as it had been before his accident!
Shua! Shua!
He clenched his fists and seven rings of light appeared.
Agitated, excited…
Various emotions flooded his heart, making the Song Family’s second young master find it hard to control himself and tears flowed down his cheeks.
Men did not easily shed tears, as they were saved only for times of extreme sadness.
Seeing his son stand, watching color return to that pale face, looking at the halos of light, Patriarch Song’s hands were trembling, his own eyes also brimming with tears.
Every person present at the auction was staring, not believing their eyes.
Second Young Master Song had been bedridden for three years, but after eating one healing pill, not only could he stand up, his cultivation base had even been restored! If they hadn’t witnessed it with their own eyes, it was definitely difficult to believe!
Ai Shangni secretly relaxed.
He had been slightly worried that the healing pill couldn’t cure a person’s long-time afflictions, but now that it had been confirmed by Second Young Master Song, then the following auction would definitely…
Right.
Very frenzied, super frenzied!
Various families and sects had witnessed the pill’s earth-shaking effects, their eyes gleaming.
“Ladies and gentlemen!” Ai Shangni walked to the auctioneer’s platform and called out, “The healing pill my Ai Family has developed is suitable for Martial Apprentices and Meridian Opening. As for the effects, I believe you have seen them for yourself. The auction begins!”
Only suitable for Martial Apprentice and Meridian Opening?
Many martial artists felt regretful. But then they thought that if it didn’t have a limit and could cure anyone’s wounds… that would be too terrifying!
Must buy!
Those with sufficient resources came to the same decision.
Ai Shangni’s voice resonated through the space, “The first healing pill, starting price is 10,000 taels!”
“20,000 taels!”
“30,000 taels!”
“35,500 taels!”
“40,000 taels!”
The auction had just started, but the various sects and families were bidding intensely.
The martial artist with less money could only obediently shut their mouths, forgetting any dreams of bidding.
…
After an intense bidding war, the first pill was sold for 100,000 taels to the sixth-grade True Origin Gate!
That was a sky-high price!
The reason the True Origin Gate was so ardent was not because they had the money to spare, but because they had a direct disciple who, like Second Young Master Song, had been severely wounded for many years.
But nowadays, which sect or family didn’t have a few sick youngsters?
Could you guarantee a lifetime of perfect health?
When the True Origin Gate took the pill for 100,000 taels, the others helplessly realized that this type of rapidly effective healing pill was doomed to become a luxury good!
Correct, a luxury good.
Because the other seven healing pills were bought after a life and death struggle between the noble families and extravagant sects, all of them reaching the 100,000 tael mark.
The last one was sold for 120,000 taels!
A healing pill was as expensive as 12 spirit stones, an absolute shock.
However.
After the auction ended, the matter did not end.
The news about the healing pills and Second Young Master Song rapidly spread, sweeping through Qingyang Commandery like a violent storm.
“Is that true?”
“Second Young Master Song has been paralyzed for three years. They’ve searched for innumerable famous doctors, who all said it would be hard to cure. But a healing pill cured him in several breaths? Isn’t this fake?”
“I went to Sunyang City two days ago and witnessed Second Young Master Song walking on the streets, head in the clouds. That was not the look of a bedridden patient!”

If the recovery of Second Young Master Song still caused people to doubt, then the news about the sixth-grade True Origin Gate’s wounded direct disciple descending the mountain could not be ignored!
The matter regarding the healing pill caused a tremendous sensation, even spreading outside the commandery, as everyone rushed towards Huyang City.
Except, when they arrived at the Ai Family all travel-worn, the answer they received was: Due to the effects of the healing pills, the refinement process is difficult. I ask everyone to calmly wait for news about another action and purchase it then.”
Helpless, the people could only leave.
Those with grievously wounded talents chose to temporarily reside in Huyang City, waiting for the day of the next auction.
Then, were there people with crooked thoughts?
Of course.
But they were all eliminated.
After all, this was an old family in the alchemy business. Although it seemed that they had no strength on the surface, they had made broad connections. Offending the Ai Family was equal to offending Jianghu.
…
“Sect Head!”
Some day, Su Xiaomo ran over and said, “Huyang City, Ai Family’s patriarch is here to visit.”
Jun Changxiao stopped cultivating and opened his eyes, his mouth pulling into a smile. “Please invite Patriarch Ai into the main hall.”
“Yes.”
Su Xiaomo stepped out.
Jun Changxiao touched his nose. “It seems like Patriarch Ai has sold the pills.”
He had expected Ai Shangni’s visit, just hadn’t expected the man to come so soon.
…
Sect’s main hall.
Jun Changxiao stepped over and humbly greeted, “Patriarch Ai’s visit to my Ironbone Sect brings light to my humble dwelling.”
As a sect leader, let alone a business partner, there had to be pleasantries exchanged.
Ai Shangni, who had been sitting at the side, quickly stood up and smiled. “We have not met for several days, Sect Head Jun’s cultivation has increased.”
After some small talk, he directly changed to the main subject.
“Sect Head Jun, the nine healing pills have all been sold.”
“How much?”
“850,000 taels.”
The great Sect Head Jun’s face looked calm, but he was roaring on the inside. I must have been fucking stupid at that time, why did I only ask for 10,000 taels each?
“Sect Head Jun.” Ai Shangni placed a stack of banknotes on the table with a smile. “This is 200,000 taels. It can be considered as dividends, so please accept it.”
Worthy of a businessman, how eloquent.
Jun Changxiao accepted the banknotes with a wave of his hand. Smiling, he said, “Sure enough, this Lord has found a good business partner for long-term collaboration.”
Long-term collaboration?
Ai Shangni felt great happiness. “Sect Head Jun, you still have healing pills?”
Jun Changxiao rested his chin in one palm and smiled. “Patriarch Ai’s visit this time, is it not for this reason?”
“Well…”
With his thoughts directly pointed out, Ai Shangni felt quite awkward. He humbly said, “To be able to win Sect Head Jun’s trust, this Ai is honored, the Ai Family is honored.”
For a businessman, everything was about profit.
The healing pill could bring in huge profits, so he naturally would spare no effort to flatter the provider.
Jun Changxiao said, “Patriarch Ai is too serious, we are now partners with absolute sincerity.”
Saying that, he placed a bottle on the table. “This Lord has another ten healing pills here, Patriarch Ai can take them away to sell. As for the price, let’s say…”
“1 million!” Ai Shangni immediately said.
Jun Changxiao forcefully swallowed the ‘500,000 taels’ he was about to say, reprimanding himself. Jun Changxiao, look at yourself!
He said, “Deal!”
Patriarch Ai quickly took out banknotes to match 1 million taels, as well as a contract.
After the signatures were made, the business was complete.
However, before he left, Jun Changxiao reminded, “Patriarch Ai, this Lord does not want to appear in public and therefore cooperates with the Ai Family. I hope you can understand.”
“Understood, understood.”
What did he understand? Patriarch Ai understood that the Ironbone Sect Head did not want other people to know that these heaven-defying pills originated from him.
After Patriarch Ai left, Li Qingyang walked over. “Sect Head, Junior Brother Ye’s collapsed room, when will we fix it?”
Jun Changxiao conveniently tossed over a stack of banknotes. “Fuck fixing it. Directly rebuild the entire inner courtyard like the imperial palace for this Lord. Might as well expand the outer courtyard while you’re at it.”
Li Qingyang stared at the thick stack of notes, calling out in alarm: “100,000 taels!”
