Chapter 82: The Fruit of Life
After Fei Lun harvested this thunder demon core, he didn't make another move, he was already satisfied today, he was originally here to play soy sauce at an auction that actually allowed him to gain something, and it was not a worthwhile trip.
The rest of the things were auctioned off smoothly, and the auction was over, it was already an auction item in zuihou, a waiter was holding a crystal tray, and the things on it were covered with a piece of silk, and after being placed on the auction table, the auctioneer gently took away the silk, and the people present instantly took a breath of cold air at the same time, it turned out to be this thing.
"Ladies and gentlemen, now is an auction item in our auction, this is a very precious auction item, the fruit of life, that's right, it is a life fruit that will mature in a hundred years on the elf life tree, I don't need to say much about the efficacy of the fruit of life, but I have seen it hundreds of times in my dreams, this fruit of life comes from the right way, don't worry about the elves coming to find trouble, so I won't introduce much, there is no reserve price, you can bid at will. β
An auction item on the tray is the famous fruit of life on the mainland, a fist-sized emerald green almost transparent fruit, and a trace of color flashes from time to time inside the translucent fruit, making the fruit look like a work of art.
Fei Lun is no longer a stunned young man who has just arrived in the Red Earth Continent, he has read so many books on the Red Earth Continent, especially the anecdotes, and he has a lot of understanding of this fruit of life.
The elven clan, the ruler of Zeng Jing's continent, there is a tree of life in their clan, it is said that the tree of life is a treasure that has been there from the time of the dragon god, each tree of life has a life span of tens of thousands of years, a height of 100 meters, and at the end of each life, the tree of life will quickly wither, turn into a seed, and then take root and sprout again, growing, so from ancient times to the present, it seems that there is only one tree of life, in fact, the continent is constantly fighting, leaving only one.
The elves worship the tree of life as a sacred tree, believing that the ancestors of the elves were born from the tree of life, so since the appearance of the elves, they have guarded around the tree of life, and have ruthlessly attacked any life that dares to peep at the tree of life, but this still can't stop wave after wave of life plotting against the tree of life.
There is no other reason, just because the tree of life is a treasure from head to toe, the trunk of the tree of life is the best material for making a magic wand, there is no one, no material can compare to the amplification of the trunk of the tree of life, leaves are the material for making high-grade potions, no matter what kind of potion it is, as long as you add a leaf of the tree of life, you can increase the success rate to one hundred percent, and most importantly, the fruit of the tree of life will only mature in a hundred years, and eating it can increase the lifespan of a hundred years out of thin air, the sap of the tree of life, the most haode healing and poisoning elixir, one drop can be curativeγ
Every tree of life is equal to a treasure in the eyes of people, as long as you steal the same, you can be prosperous and rich for a lifetime, but it is a pity that the elves regard the tree of life as more important than their own lives, not to mention the fruit, even the leaves on the tree are counted, there are four or five holy magic masters stationed under the tree of life all year round, and it is not so easy for any thief to get close, even if it is successful, steal something, but as long as the elves find out who uses it on the continent, then whether it is innocent or not, it will be ruthlessly attacked by the elves, which is also the weishenme auctioneer wants to explain the right wayγ
In the past, several big setbacks of the elven clan were caused by the tree of life, a large number of strong people and races attacked the elven clan together, for the sake of the tree of life, if it weren't for a few elves at the level of the law saint who burned their lives and repelled the enemy, I am afraid that today, it would be difficult to save a tree of life on this red earth continent.
People with a lot of energy have already known in advance that the finale item of this auction is the fruit of life, so they have already prepared the money, just to make a move in this zuihou, a hundred years of life, those rich nobles are not professionals, either have no qualifications, or are unwilling to endure hardships, so they do not have a long life, this kind of treasure that can increase life expectancy is definitely the treasure they want the most.
Many people have sat up straight and want to fight here, even if they can't be auctioned, they can boast after they go out, they have participated in the auction of the fruit of life, you know, in history, only a few times to talk about the auction of the fruit of life, you can count it with a slap, these fruits are given by the elves to those who are of great help to the elves.
"Five hundred thousand gold coins. β
A little quiet, the people who came to their senses in the shock of the appearance of the fruit of life began to quote, a rich man came up and quoted a price that he thought could deter everyone, and wanted to get the fruit of life, but unfortunately, he was too naΓ―ve.
"Eight hundred thousand. β
Almost as soon as his words fell, a new offer was made, he was also a rich man, but he was not so naΓ―ve, he was ready to fight, 800,000 was too little for the fruit of life, and he had decided to gamble his net worth.
"A million. β
"One and a half million. β
The predators who have been hiding and not making a move have begun to act, they don't want to let those who don't know the so-called big money waste the fruits of life with pitiful prices, the rich man who made the first offer has despaired, 500,000 yuan is already half of his family property, and he thought he was very sure, even if he paid all the family property, but unfortunately the price rose to the point where he couldn't afford it in two clicks, and his face instantly became the same as his dead father.
"Two million. β
"Two and a half million. β
The price has been rising, and Val, who has not moved, has also joined the scramble, the purpose of his coming to participate in the auction this time is this fruit of life, he wants to give it to his father, to regain his favor, he is not worried at all that his father will always occupy the throne after eating the fruit of life, and there is an unspoken rule for the throne of all human empires on the Red Earth Continent, that is, after ruling for a certain period of time, he must take the initiative to abdicate and join the elder group.
Because of the existence of professionals, there has never been a fixed standard for the life span of life on this continent, if the king is a professional, then he is completely able to survive several generations of descendants, which is easy to cause turmoil, so this rule appeared, and all abdicated professionals have become the patron saints of the empire, and never interfere in the king's affairs.
Val just wanted to please his father, so that his father would pass on the throne to him in the future, and for the sake of this fruit of life, he had almost squeezed out his own families.
"Two million five hundred and fifty thousand. β
"Two million five hundred and seventy thousand. β
The rate of price increase slowly eased, millions of gold coins are a lot of money for most families, although the assets of those families far exceed these amounts, but many of them are fixed assets, such as manors, fertile land, and there is not much liquidity, and if the price is too high, these families will also weigh whether it is equivalent.
You must know that in a family, although the patriarch is the most powerful, his rights will also be subject to various checks and balances, and no family will be willing to take all the money of the patriarch in exchange for his own immortality.
Everyone present has to consider the gains and losses, although their life is precious, but compared to the whole family, they still need to make concessions, so the price began to rise little by little.
Val was secretly glad that he was so smart and didn't compete with Pheron, and Val wanted to raise the price of his several shots, but he was afraid that Pheren would suddenly stop and lose his funds, so he endured it, and he had decided that after he took the throne, the first thing he would do was to give the Anthony family a good look.
"Two million six thousand. β
"Two million six hundred and fifty thousand. β
There were fewer and fewer people participating in the offer, and among the remaining people were Mino, Quinn, Val, and three aristocratic old men who did not know Feron, and they were very cautious every time they offered, and each time they considered the gains and losses.
"Two million six hundred and eighty thousand. β
Quinn frowned, this was close to his limit, as a professional, he didn't care about this life fruit at all, but the life fruit has an extremely long shelf life, and Quinn is ready to keep it in his hand as a backup, maybe future generations will be able to use it.
"Two million six hundred and ninety-thousand. β
One of the remaining three old men also reported his bottom line, if the price is raised, then he can only give up, otherwise it will hurt the family too much.
"Two million seven hundred and thirty thousand. β
"Two million seven hundred and fifty thousand. β
The other two old men also reported their bottom line one after another.
"Two million eight hundred thousand. β
Mino's offer directly kicked the three old men out, and Mino, who was the richest among the princes, also began to frown, the price is a bit high now, and a thing that is more useful to ordinary people than professionals really can't pay too much.
"Two million eight hundred and eighty thousand. β
Val gritted his teeth, squeezed some oil and water out of the dog's leg pocket, and looked at the few men behind him who looked like ashes, and knew that these people's hearts were going to hurt to death, and it was really unlucky to keep up with such a master.
Mino, and Quinn both leaned back and decided to give up, who knows what kind of madness their brother is going on today, so concerned about something that only has a significant effect on ordinary people, there is no need for him to be crazy.
Finally arrived, after paying the money, Val held the fruit of life, hoping to make his father look at him differently, and it was best to position himself as the successor, then there will definitely be more people to take refuge in him, and what he paid today is not worth mentioning.
When the auctioneer announced the end of the auction, people began to disperse, but the discussion did not stop, the topic was around the fruit of life in zuihou, they sighed, it is worth it to see the body of the fruit of life once in this life, and it was only on the books YY before, and I was addicted to it, and I held and gnawed two bites in my dreams, and today I can participate in the bidding of the fruit of life, and it is also a talking point to go out.
