Omnipotent Mrs. Finn

Chapter 79 The Marrow Cleansing Pill

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

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 already come 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 particularly 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, "Welcome 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 was lamenting 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 plant with its roots intact, a bare pole beneath, without a single

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 to come 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. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

"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 placed 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 glance, not expecting Ruby's computer 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 glanced at Ruby, turned around

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

"Congratulations to this friend number seven, the owner of the Seven Leaf Lotus invites you to come

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 black clothes, was sitting

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

Ruby knew from just one glance 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."
