Evil Emperor's Wild Consort - chapter-551

Ye Nuo curled his lips and was just about to make a retort when he was
interrupted by the old man.

“Damned b*stard, you better learn from the Gu girl. Once you reach the
rank of a Martial Emperor like her, I will not restrict your freedom.
Otherwise, you’re not allowed to leave the protection of the Ye family
home!”

Ye Nuo immediately raised his lowered head when heard this. His wide,
glassy eyes stared in astonishment at his grandfather, “Grandfather, what
did you just say? Bodyguard Gu is at the rank of a Martial Emperor?”

A Martial Emperor!

Even though being at this rank doesn’t really count as a peak cultivator
in the Banished Lands, she already had a right to assume personal
responsibility!

Especially since Gu Ruoyun was only nineteen years old!

A nineteen-year-old Martial Emperor… What kind of a concept is this?

Murong Yan and Lu Shaochen were equally stunned.

From the beginning, they had both considered Gu Ruoyun to be a high-level
Martial King and that already shocked them completely! Yet they never
imagined that this girl would turn out to be such a young Martial Emperor!

Lu Shaochen laughed bitterly, “Before I met these two, I’ve always
considered myself to have outstanding talent and that no one in Black
Rock City would be a match for me. Now I understand what it means to be a
frog at the bottom of the well. My master was right, the number of
geniuses in the world is too many to count. It’s only that we haven’t met
them yet.”

How funny, I never gave much thought to it, thinking that my own talents
were strong enough.

Now I finally understand that things may appear to be perfect but there
better ones will always come along!

“Ladies and gentlemen, the next item on auction is the heavyweight item
of our auction this round — a fragmented pill formula which had been
handed down from ancient times! Even though a part of this pill formula
is missing, I’m sure all of you know that in this current age, pill
formulas have been completely eradicated. Hence, I’m sure that everyone
knows the value of this fragmented pill formula!”

It was nearing the end of the auction when the booming voice of the
auctioneer rang aloud from outside the box, “The auction price begins at
a million gold pieces, every bid cannot be less than a hundred thousand
gold pieces. Now, let the auction begin!”

Boom!

Once he had finished speaking, the crowd immediately went into a
sensation.

“A fragmented pill formula?” A glint flashed across Gu Ruoyun’s eyes as
she laughed wordlessly.

“Oh?” Ye Lan looked at Gu Ruoyun with surprise, “Miss Gu, are you
interested in this pill formula?”

“That’s right,” Gu Ruoyun nodded, “I am indeed interested.”

Even though she had not managed to discover any news of the Hell’s Lotus
in the auction, she did manage to uncover substantial benefits!

This pill formula, I must have it no matter what!

“Hehe,” Ye Lan laughed quietly, “I didn’t think that you would be
interested in these things as well, Miss Gu. But based on my observation,
even if you did manage to obtain this pill formula, it would be useless.
Pill refinement is a lost art and no one can refine pills in this day and
age. Since that’s the case, what’s the point in obtaining this pill
formula?”

Hearing this, Gu Ruoyun merely smiled and replied calmly, “I am simply
interested in collecting thee kinds of things. As long as one fancies an
item, it doesn’t matter if it’s useful or not. Don’t you agree, Senior Ye
Lan?”

“Haha!” Ye Lan stroked his white beard as he laughed candidly, “That’s
right, that’s right. As long as it is what your heart desires, so what if
it’s useless? Little girl, you’re getting more and more up to my
standards.”

Of course, Ye Lan, who didn’t know Gu Ruoyun very well, couldn’t possibly
know that if she ever takes an interest in anything, it was because it
will bring her great benefits.

Such as this pill formula, for example!

To anyone else, perhaps this pill formula would be nothing but a piece of
waste paper. However, in the hands of Gu Ruoyun, who was getting more and
more matured in her pill refinement skills, this will be a priceless
treasure!

“Pill formulas, finally. I’ve been waiting for this!”

In a separate box, Bai Xin took a deep breath and clenched his fist,
“Father had sent me here today for the sake of obtaining this pill
formula. No matter what, I must have it!”
