Chapter 79 The Marrow Cleansing Pill


    The two entered one after the other, and once inside was a spacious hall with a number of disy


    cases containing antiques of great value.


    Levi seemed uninterested in all this and went straight across the hall to the inside.


    Ruby did take a few more looks before following Levi inside.


    With nearly an hour to go before the start of the auction, a number of people had alreadye by the


    time they arrived.


    Levi''s position was in the front row, and Ruby followed him there, receiving a lot of attention along the


    way.


    "Among the things I heard about being auctioned today is the Marrow Cleansing Pill, which I heard


    people say is particrly effective in enabling people to live a long life after taking it."


    "I also heard about the one that appeared two years ago. I heard that the buyer, who was terminally ill,


    was not only cured of all his illnesses after taking it, but also became more than ten years younger!"


    "I''ve heard that it''s like an immortal elixir, that you can''t get sick after eating it."


    ......


    There were quite a few people in the venue, and several people were talking to each other, not too


    loudly or too quietly, just enough for Ruby to hear.


    Listening to what they said, the corners of Ruby''s mouth twitched, very speechless at these rumours.


    The Marrow Cleansing Pill only has a little bit of body strengthening function, which is not as


    exaggerated as they say.


    "You came to the auction today also for the Marrow Cleansing Pill?" Ruby thought of something and


    went over to ask Levi.


    The woman leaned in close, her breath teasing the side of his face, and Levi coughed before nodding,


    "Yes."


    Ruby was silent and looked deeply at Levi, wanting to say something, but in the end she didn''t say a


    word.


    Forget it, she can''t spoil it for Vincent.


    Those who came to the auction entered one by one and soon filled the room, and it was time for the


    auction to begin.


    A young woman in a red cheongsam stepped onto the auction stage with a seductive smile on her


    face, "Wee to today''s auction, without further ado, we will now proceed to auction the first lot of the


    day -"


    At the sound of her voice, someone soon came up with a tray, covered with a red cloth, so it was not


    clear what it actually contained.


    The host went forward to lift the red cloth, revealing the true face of the item inside: "This is the crown


    of the Queen of Y Country. The starting price is five million, with each increase of five hundred


    thousand, and now the auction begins -"


    The corners of Ruby''s mouth twitched vaguely as she looked at the red diamond-studded crown.


    The people below have already started to raise their bids.


    The crown is made of solid gold and is set with thousands of diamonds of varying sizes, especially the


    seven rubies in the centre, which are worth a great deal of money.


    "Fifty million."


    Ruby wasmenting the greatness of Vincent''s skills when she heard the clear, breezy voice of the


    man beside her ring out.


    She looked over with some surprise, not expecting that Levi would actually be interested in this.


    In the end there was no doubt that Levi paid 50 million for the Queen''s crown.


    Ruby has attended many such auctions abroad, and most of the things that appear in this auction are


    ordinary, not many of them can interest her.


    She propped her chin on one hand and looked a little drowsy.


    At this moment, that nice voice of the host rang out in her ears again, "This next item may not be of


    much interest to many people, as it is a very precious herb, the seven-leaf lotus."


    Ruby, who was originally drowsy, abruptly straightened up when she heard the three words Seven Leaf


    Lotus, and her eyes gazed towards the auction stage.


    On a delicate silver tray lies quietly a nt with its roots intact, a bare pole beneath, without a single


    N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.


    leaf, and a flower at the top with seven leaves glowing with a luminous white light, which you can tell by


    looking at it is no ordinary product.


    Ruby really didn''t expect toe across such a superb herb as the Seven Leaf Lotus here. She had


    been looking for the Seven Leaf Lotus for a long time before, but there hadn''t been any news, and


    today it actually appeared here.


    Levi watched Ruby''s expression change and his gaze went back to the medicine on the stage, a look


    of understanding in his eyes.


    The news that the seven-leaf lotus was to be auctioned was deliberately announced, and at this point


    many people were looking at that one lotus with excitement on their faces.


    "This seven-leaf lotus is a temporary addition, the seller does not want money and wants to barter, in a


    moment guests who want to buy the seven-leaf lotus can enter the name of the item they want to bring


    to trade on the tablet at hand, if the seller sees it and is willing to trade, he will tell us." The host looked


    at the people with a smile, and after giving a general overview of the rules, she didn''t say anything else.


    Ruby stroked her chin, pondering.


    Such a superb medicinal herb as the seven-leaf lotus was not something that ordinary people could


    possess, and the other party must have known the value of the seven-leaf lotus, and was still willing to


    take it out for trade in such a situation, so he thought that he had encountered something.


    After thinking about it for a while, Ruby picked up the tablet ced at her hand, wrote a line on it and


    tapped OK.


    Levi didn''t read what she had written, there was no longer any trace of it on the tablet.


    He unexpectedly gave Ruby a nce, not expecting Ruby''sputer skills seemed to be quite good.


    Those who wanted the seven-leaf lotus had already given out the most precious things they could get


    their hands on, and a voice came from inside the host''s headset. She nced at Ruby, turned around


    and went backstage for a full five minutes before returning to the stage again.


    "Congrattions to this friend number seven, the owner of the Seven Leaf Lotus invites you toe


    backstage for a chat." The host looked at Ruby in a very respectful manner.


    Ruby nodded, and a waiter had already walked over and led her backstage.


    The auction continued, except that many people were a little distracted, prying into Ruby''s identity,


    especially the few old men sitting at the back, looking at Ruby''s back with faces full of excitement and


    thrill.


    Ruby followed the waiter to the backstage, where only a pale man, wearing ck clothes, was sitting


    inside, covering his mouth and coughing hard when Ruby entered.


    Ruby knew from just one nce that this man''s life would not be long.


    "Are you serious?" The man coughed for a while, an unhealthy flush rising to his pale face before he


    looked up at Ruby.


    When Ruby saw his features, she was stunned and did not react for a while.


    This face actually resembles the deceased Nellie at some points!


    Ruby could not help but look at him, her brow furrowed.


    "You, why don''t you answer me?" The man didn''t wait for Ruby''s response and coughed violently


    again.


    The sound of coughing pulled Ruby back to her attention. She stepped forward, reached out and


    grabbed the man’s wrist, took his pulse, and her face grew more and more grave.


    He had disease since he was born, plus he had not been well-treated and had been poisoned, so his


    internal organs were severely damaged and he had at most one month to live.


    "Sure. Seven-leaf lotus for your life. I can cure your illness."
