My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage-Chapter 65 - Sensation Throughout the Venue

Before he could respond, an irate voice rose from the crowd.

“Zhang Xu, get down here! You’re just a tester! Let everyone compete fairly!”

“Exactly! Zhang Xu, you scoundrel! Stop playing tricks.”

The alchemist, standing in the corner, watched the scene unfold in a daze.

In all his years at Xuanbao Pavilion, he had never seen an auction for a Hemostasis Pill turn the place into a marketplace.

Absurd…

Truly absurd.

Zhuang Lin also froze momentarily, then couldn’t help but burst internally with joy. He quickly calmed the crowd, and when only he was left on the auction stage, he began speaking slowly.

“I presume everyone is now aware of the formidable efficacy of the Hemostasis Pill and has gained a preliminary understanding of the pharmacist’s skills. Allow me to introduce her; this pharmacist is exceptionally young, even a few years younger than myself, hailing from the south and named Liuli. Miss Liuli truly does not concede to men.”

As Zhuang Lin finished, the place exploded into commotion once more.

“Younger than Owner Zhuang? Owner Zhuang is twenty-five this year, even younger… What kind of prodigious alchemist is this!”

“Wait! The pharmacist is a lady?!”

The hall filled with voices in disbelief, each expression more incredulous than the last.

Zhuang Lin watched this unfold and couldn’t help but laugh smugly in his heart.

Tsk, let them experience the shock I felt back then.

Thinking this, he lifted his eyes and stealthily glanced at the private room where Chu Nanli was.

Chu Nanli noticed his gaze and worried about being revealed, she subtly leaned back to remain inconspicuous and hidden.

“Alright, everyone, the auction for the Hemostasis Pill starts now! The starting bid is one hundred silver, with each increment no less than ten silver,” announced Zhuang Lin.

“What? Only a hundred silver? Is Owner Zhuang casting a long line to catch a big fish?” Although the comments flew, the bidding speed did not slow down at all.

In the corner, the alchemist’s face turned red with embarrassment.

One hundred silver was his set price. In the market, a top-quality Hemostasis Pill as a consumable was only worth that much.

But, if a top alchemist were involved, he would definitely price it much higher.

Ultimately, after an intense “battle”, the Hemostasis Pill was purchased by the burly man for three hundred fifty silver.

“Three hundred fifty silver might not seem high, but this is already a record price for a Hemostasis Pill,” the alchemist murmured, bowing as he presented a small square box, “Inside is a twenty-year-old Snow Lotus, and I hope Miss Liuli will not mind my previous demeanor.”

He had quietly left the bidding during the first round to retrieve the herbs, heading straight for Chu Nanli’s private room.

“A twenty-year-old Snow Lotus?” This was excellent for beauty and maintaining good health, and she exactly needed it to refine pills to improve her complexion.

Chu Nanli raised an eyebrow, accepted the box, and opened it to look inside before smiling broadly, “I accept your apology; we’ll let bygones be bygones.”

The alchemist exhaled in relief, bowed again, and then left.

As he closed the door, his expression was a bit complex.

Prodigious alchemists tended to be very proud, and he thought he had seriously offended her, but she turned out to be surprisingly easygoing.

Alas, his suspicions were unfounded.
