No one believed him, so Zhao Yuan didn’t press the issue. Instead, he turned and asked, ”Ancestor, you’ve seen the effects of the Marrow Cleansing Pill with your own eyes. Do you have any objections?”

”No objections, no objections at all,” the Ying Family Ancestor said with a chuckle.

In her opinion, the effects of the Marrow Cleansing Pill were surprisingly good!

She had initially worried that after relying on an elixir to break through to the Marrow Cleansing Realm, Ying Zhi’s cultivation would be unstable, or that there would be some sort of side effects. But after a careful examination, she found that Ying Zhi showed absolutely none of the symptoms she had feared!

’It’s simply miraculous! It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call the Marrow Cleansing Pill Zhao Yuan made an Immortal Pill!’

The Ying Clan Members gathered around Ying Zhi all stared at Zhao Yuan with fervent eyes.

They were all at the Peak of Muscle Strengthening, cultivators who had been blocked by the gate to the Marrow Cleansing Realm for years, even decades.

This group had originally thought that breaking through Muscle Strengthening to enter the Marrow Cleansing Realm was a distant, unattainable dream. This was especially true for the older ones, who felt they had no hope of ever reaching the Marrow Cleansing Realm in this lifetime.

But now, the Marrow Cleansing Pill from Zhao Yuan had allowed Ying Zhi to instantly shatter that insurmountable gate and step into the Marrow Cleansing Realm! This event not only shocked them to their core but also gave them hope—it showed them a future!

At this moment, they were all desperate to obtain a Marrow Cleansing Pill!

But a great family was a great family; no matter how much they craved it, they had to follow the rules.

The Ying Family Ancestor was currently speaking with Zhao Yuan, and people of their station had neither the right nor the courage to interrupt.

The crowd’s reaction was exactly what Zhao Yuan had expected.

’Of course. The Marrow Cleansing Pill was developed by Wu Peng; how could its effects be anything but excellent?’

”Since there are no objections, please name your price, Ancestor,” Zhao Yuan said with a chuckle. His expression and tone were just like the common MMO phrase: ’Selling top-tier gear. Send offers. Will not respond to ’how much?’’...

He wasn’t afraid of the Ying Family Ancestor trying to lowball him. The Marrow Cleansing Pill was a seller’s market—he was the only one in the entire world who had it! He believed the Ying Family Ancestor was well aware of this fact.

After a moment of consideration, the Ying Family Ancestor named a price. ”Twenty million... per pill!”

Zhao Yuan was stunned by the price at first, but on second thought, he understood why the Ying Family Ancestor was so generous.

Twenty million per pill seemed like a very high price, but one mustn’t forget its miraculous effect: it allowed someone at the Peak of Muscle Strengthening to break through directly into the Marrow Cleansing Realm!

For those who had been stuck at the Peak of Muscle Strengthening for years or even decades, a Marrow Cleansing Pill with such a miraculous effect was worth trading their entire fortune for!

For the Ying Family, with its thousand-year legacy, spending twenty million to gain a Marrow Cleansing Realm cultivator was a deal that was not a loss in the slightest!

”Well, Zhao Yuan, are you satisfied with this price?” the Ying Family Ancestor asked in a low voice.

Zhao Yuan was quite satisfied with the price of twenty million per pill. He replied with a chuckle, ”Since you’ve named the price yourself, Ancestor, what more is there for me to say? That price is fine!”

With that sentence, he essentially sold another favor to the Ying Family Ancestor.

How could the Ying Family Ancestor, who had lived for over 120 years, not understand his hidden meaning? She let out a laugh, shook her head, and said, ”You sly little fox.” Her tone was full of affection.

Then she asked, ”How many Marrow Cleansing Pills do you have?”

Zhao Yuan took out the medicine vial. ”For now, just this bottle. Ying Zhi just took one, so there are three left.”

”We’ll take them all!”

The Ying Family Ancestor reached out and snatched the vial, as if afraid something unexpected might happen.

”I’ll transfer eighty million to your bank account right now. Also, we’ll need at least twenty more Marrow Cleansing Pills... Hmm, no, we need thirty. We have to prepare a batch for the disciples who have reached the Late Stage of Muscle Strengthening, too. Zhao Yuan, when do you think you can refine a new batch of Marrow Cleansing Pills?”

’If I wanted to, I could make them for you right now.’ But he would never say those words out loud.

’I’ll only ever describe the process of refining Marrow Cleansing Pills as incredibly difficult. Only then will the Ying Family feel their twenty million was well-spent and feel indebted to me. Even if I sell more Marrow Cleansing Pills to the Ying Family in the future, I won’t give them too many at once. I have to keep them on the hook to maximize my own gains!’

So, Zhao Yuan said, ”Refining Marrow Cleansing Pills is extremely difficult and consumes a tremendous amount of Primordial Qi! However, since you’ve asked, Ancestor, and since Ying Ji and I are friends, I naturally won’t refuse. After I get back, I’ll start gathering the necessary medicinal ingredients and strive to produce a new batch of Marrow Cleansing Pills as soon as possible.”

The Ying Family Ancestor was deeply moved and thanked him again. ”Good, good, good, you’ve worked hard! The entire Ying Family will never dare to forget the kindness you’ve shown us!”

Ying Zhi bowed deeply to Zhao Yuan and said emotionally, ”Brother Zhao, from now on, you’re like a real brother to me! If there’s anything you need me to do, just say the word! If I so much as hesitate, I’m not a real man!”

The other Ying Clan Members also rushed to thank Zhao Yuan and curry favor with him.

They all knew of Zhao Yuan’s identity as a Pill Master. For a cultivator, knowing a Pill Master brought endless benefits, and they certainly weren’t willing to miss out on such a heaven-sent opportunity!

Soon, another eighty million was deposited into Zhao Yuan’s bank account.

After receiving the text notification, Zhao Yuan couldn’t help but click his tongue in amazement.

’I originally planned to come to the Ying Family for help today. I never expected that after all this, not only do I not owe the Ying Family any favors, but I’ve also made the entire family deeply grateful to me and earned a hundred million on top of it all...’

’Life is truly full of surprises!’

’But I also know that while a hundred million seems like a lot, it’s just a drop in the bucket when it comes to cultivation.’

’I have to keep working hard to make money!’

After completing the transfer, the Ying Family Ancestor smiled and said, ”Zhao Yuan, come inside and sit for a while. The Qi-Containing Jade is on its way.” She then instructed Ying Ji, ”Go get my best tea to serve Zhao Yuan.”

Zhao Yuan followed Ying Ji inside to wait for the Qi-Containing Jade to be delivered. Ying Zhi came in too. The kid was full of curiosity about Zhao Yuan, and since they were close in age, they quickly struck up a conversation.

As for the others, they surrounded the Ying Family Ancestor outside, all talking at once as they vied for the Marrow Cleansing Pills.

”Ancestor, these three Marrow Cleansing Pills... who do you plan to give them to?”

”Give one to me! To me! Ancestor, you know I’ve been stuck at the Peak of Muscle Strengthening for over thirty years! Without a Marrow Cleansing Pill, I’m afraid I’ll never be able to break into the Marrow Cleansing Realm in my lifetime!”

”You think thirty years is a long time? I’ve been stuck at the Peak of Muscle Strengthening for forty years! This Marrow Cleansing Pill should be mine! Ancestor, just take pity on me and grant me one!”

”If you ask me, all you elders shouldn’t be fighting us for them. Your age is what it is; even if you break through to the Marrow Cleansing Realm, you won’t be able to achieve much. It would be better to leave them for us, the younger generation! The sooner we step into the Marrow Cleansing Realm, the greater our future accomplishments will be, and the more we can benefit the family!”

Everyone wanted a Marrow Cleansing Pill, and no one could persuade anyone else. For a moment, the atmosphere grew so intense it seemed a fight was about to break out...
