Medical and Martial God

Chapter 143: Chapter 143: Storm is Coming

Ye Xiu continued, ”Of course, the Marrow Cleansing Pill isn’t just a great temptation for Martial Artists; it’s even more alluring to ordinary people.”

”It can flush out all impurities from the body, reforming their physique to its optimal state.

”Moreover, if a sick person takes it, as long as they aren’t handicapped with missing limbs, any disease can be cured. It can even kill cancer cells.

”If an elderly person on death’s door were to take it, the pill could rejuvenate their body and regulate its functions. Even a centenarian could live for another ten years.”

After hearing Ye Xiu’s description of the Marrow Cleansing Pill’s effects, Qin Qing was stunned. The pill was nothing short of a miracle elixir.

She asked, ”Doesn’t that mean Martial Artists and the wealthy from all over the world will be fighting over the Marrow Cleansing Pill?”

”Exactly!” Ye Xiu nodded. ”However, Yunxuan Auction House just obtained the pill and is eager to sell it, so Martial Artists and wealthy patrons from abroad probably won’t make it to the auction in time.”

”What price do you think the Marrow Cleansing Pill will fetch?” Qin Qing asked.

”That’s hard to say. The Marrow Cleansing Pill is a priceless treasure, incredibly rare on the market. I estimate it will start at a minimum of one hundred million,” Ye Xiu said.

Qin Qing grew coy, tugging on Ye Xiu’s arm while pouting playfully.

”Um, I want one.”

The fact that the Marrow Cleansing Pill could accelerate one’s cultivation speed was enough to make Qin Qing deeply covet it. Right now, she dreamed of becoming a powerful expert as soon as possible so she could help Ye Xiu, and the Marrow Cleansing Pill was a shortcut.

”Just focus on your swordsmanship. Once you’ve mastered it, I’ll perform a Cleansing Essence and Marrow for you. You won’t need a Marrow Cleansing Pill,” Ye Xiu said with a smile.

Qin Qing was startled. ”Are you really that incredible?”

”Are you kidding? I’m the Divine Doctor, after all. A mere Cleansing Essence and Marrow is nothing to me. Besides, if the ingredients for the Marrow Cleansing Pill weren’t so hard to find, I’d whip up a whole sack for you to eat like snacks,” Ye Xiu boasted.

If anyone else had heard this, they would have mocked him for bragging. The prescriptions and refinement methods for the Marrow Cleansing Pill had been lost to time; no one in the world could produce it. Although Ye Xiu had created one before, nobody knew.

”Haha, oh Xiu, I adore you!”

Qin Qing happily jumped onto Ye Xiu’s back, resting her chin on his shoulder and saying joyfully, ”Marrying a wonderfully capable husband like you is the absolute best!”

”But of course.”

Feeling a sense of accomplishment from his wife’s admiration, Ye Xiu said, ”Even though we don’t need the Marrow Cleansing Pill, I still have to attend the auction tonight. Do you want to go?”

”No, I want to go home and practice my swordsmanship.”

At that moment, all Qin Qing could think about was quickly mastering her sword techniques. Then, she would have Ye Xiu perform the Cleansing Essence and Marrow, pass on his Internal Cultivation Methods to her, and once her cultivation was accomplished, she could help him fight his enemies.

The thought of herself and Ye Xiu, each with a sword, roaming the world side-by-side, made Qin Qing’s smile stretch from ear to ear, her heart brimming with anticipation.

...

「Yuelan Grand Hotel!」

Inside the presidential suite.

After finishing her call with Ming Yue, Kuroki Suzu turned to Dragon Hollyhock and Miyamoto Satoshi with a grim expression.

”Our plan failed.”

”How is that possible? Our surveillance confirmed that Ye Xiu took the Seven Deadly Pill. There’s no reason the plan should have failed,” Miyamoto Satoshi questioned.

”Kidnapping the Qin Family members and luring Qin Qing to force Ye Xiu to surrender... the plan was perfect, and it was going smoothly. But we never anticipated that Ye Xiu would be immune to all poisons, nor did we expect Qin Qing to escape on her own. Hah...” Kuroki Suzu said, her voice laced with frustration.

”Don’t lose heart. I already paid two days ago. Tonight, Ye Xiu is all mine. As long as I can get pregnant, we won’t have to keep racking our brains to deal with him,” Dragon Hollyhock said with a smile.

”That could work,” Miyamoto Satoshi nodded. ”In that case, let’s put Ye Xiu aside for now and talk about the Marrow Cleansing Pill.”

”I’ve already reported the matter to my master. He has ordered me to acquire the Marrow Cleansing Pill at any cost, and the Rongfu Consortium is giving us their full support,” Kuroki Suzu said.

”If that’s the case, the Marrow Cleansing Pill is as good as ours,” Miyamoto Satoshi laughed.

”Don’t celebrate too early,” Dragon Hollyhock cautioned. ”Even though Yunxuan Auction House’s haste is keeping international Martial Artists and tycoons away, the local Martial Artists and wealthy families in Xuanse won’t let you walk away with the pill so easily.”

”All the Martial Artists in Xuanse who have reached the War God Level are in Sang Jing for the War God Ranking assessment. Right now, there’s no one in Xuanse who is my match. I’ll kill anyone who dares to get in my way,” Kuroki Suzu declared confidently.

”You may not need to worry about the others, but you should still be wary of that guy with the lame name and the woman with a black plastic bag over her head,” Dragon Hollyhock reminded her.

At the mention of those two, Kuroki Suzu’s composure vanished. She gritted her teeth and said, ”The guy with the lame name is weaker than me, and the woman with the bag on her head is only faster than me. If she truly had the power to fight me, she wouldn’t have fled. Once we win the Marrow Cleansing Pill at the auction, I won’t fear them even if they team up.”

”Since you’re so confident, I’ll be taking my leave, then.” Dragon Hollyhock stood up and stretched lazily, her expression softening. ”I have to go back and get ready. I’m going to make Ye Xiu mine tonight.”

...

News of the Marrow Cleansing Pill auction dropped like a bombshell, sending shockwaves through the Martial Artist and affluent circles of Xuanse. In an instant, large numbers of Martial Artists and tycoons began flocking to Jin Ye City.

Not all of them were coming for the auction. After all, ninety percent of the nation’s lone wolf Martial Artists, Ancient Martial Families, and Sects were too poor to afford a bid. They were heading to Jin Ye City either because they had struck a deal with a wealthy family or because they planned to seize the Marrow Cleansing Pill by force.

A storm was brewing. The air in Jin Ye City grew thick with tension and instability.

Far away in Sang Jing, Qing Luan received the news and immediately ordered the Red Flame Army to block the roads surrounding the Yunxuan Auction House. She wanted to prevent anyone from attempting to rob the auction house before the event and was also concerned that a fight for the pill would break out afterward, endangering ordinary civilians.

After taking Qin Qing home, Ye Xiu went to the Saint He Medical College, where he discovered that many classes were without instructors. Upon asking, he learned that the 108 instructors from Sang Qiuyu’s Red Flame Army unit had all been redeployed by Qing Luan to protect the Yunxuan Auction House.

”Little bro...”

Ye Xiu was sitting in the stadium stands when An Dongye came running over excitedly.

”Little bro, I just snagged a huge deal. Want in on it?”

”You’re not planning to rob the Marrow Cleansing Pill, are you?” Ye Xiu asked.

An Dongye froze. ”How did you know?”

Ye Xiu just chuckled.
