A Gift from a Friend

"The fifth item is the Marrow Cleansing Pill! Although it's just a rank 3 pill, the materials are hard to find. It can cleanse the impurities on the bone marrow, increasing the cultivation speed of the person who consumed it. There will be 3 pills and will be auctioned one by one. The starting price will be 2 000 gold with 100 gold increments."

"2500 gold"

"3000 gold"

Mu Yue was about to bid for it when Xiao Yan stopped her and said," This will be my gift for you Mu Yue. Let me be the one who bid for it. Time for you to see this rich young lady in action."

"5 000 gold" Xiao Yan's domineering voice was heard by all of the people.

Seeing that the 4th VIP room bid high for the item, the other people quickly added more gold, wanting that room to spend more.

"5 100-"

"10 000 gold" Xiao Yan quickly said.

The people at the normal seats gasped. They didn't expect that room to spend a lot of money before the real event.

A rich man from one of the VIP rooms smirked and added his bid, "10 100 gold"

This time, however, Xiao Yan didn't continue her bid. The man didn't want the pill and just want the other party to spend more. Evidently, Xiao Yan is well informed about these things. She also knew the real value of the pill.

"10 100 gold, going once, going twice, sold! Congratulations to VIP room 2 on acquiring the item."

The auctioneer's praise sounded like an insult to the man's ears. He didn't expect that lady to stop bidding. When multiple quantities of an item are being auctioned, the first part will commonly have the lowest bid.

Xiao Yan smiled and said in a sarcastic voice, " Congratulations on getting it, I guess I'll just bid for the other two."

Now the other people know that the girl in the 4th VIP room is not an easy opponent. The guy that got tricked was so angry that he ordered his servant to find the identity of the girl.

"S-sir, I asked the staff and even tried to bribe them but they insist on not telling." The servant was nervous as he might get scolded by his boss.

"Interesting... It seems the identity of the girl in that room is not simple, even the auction house sided with them." The man then decided to stop messing with the girl. Offending the other party for a pill is a foolish move now.

Xiao Yan then got the 2nd pill for just 5 500 gold. When she put her bid, no one messed against her.

"Here Mu Yue, it's a good pill to consume as early as possible. I'll teach you later on how you can best benefit from it."Xiao Yan then gave the pill to Mu Yue.

"Thank you for the gift but don't you need the same?" Mu Yue asked.

Xiao Yan then just smiled at Mu Yue. Mu Yue then got the hint and put the pill to her storage ring. She now wondered how she could repay the favor in the future.

The next items were quickly auctioned. One of the items that boost the power of a Spell Cultivator was acquired by Xiao Yan. Having bought the items that they want, they then left the room with no one knowing. Deciding to watch the fight for the last item will increase the chances of their identity being exposed.

Back in their room, Xiao Yan then taught Mu Yue on how to effectively use the Marrow Cleansing Pill.

"When you consume the pill, make sure you don't faint from the pain. Once you fainted, the process will stop. I also suggest consuming the pill before absorbing the gem." Xiao Yan said.

Mu Yue then consumed the pill and started cultivating. As she started circulating her spiritual energy, a sharp pain quickly came coming from the inside of her bones. She endured the pain and did not faint. The process took an entire night to finish.

Xiao Yan was watching Mu Yue who is absorbing the pill. She became more interested in Mu Yue now that she knows that she was an orphan. As for Mu Yue's possessions, she was not that interested as she, a rich young lady doesn't lack money.

'I'm having fun being with you Mu Yue, I wonder what other secrets you hold.'
