Chapter 635: Longevity Fruit
Big shots like Demon Kings and Stone Kings looked at each other in confusion. However, the Golem Square had a gold-studded reputation and wouldn't auction ordinary items.
One Demon King curiously asked the auctioneer: “What is this thing?”
“This little one is not exaggerating, this item is truly rare.” The auctioneer explained: “I’m afraid not too many people here today know about it. This is our Golem Square’s first time seeing this thing, and the second time our boss has seen it.”
One Stone King lost his patience and urged: “Okay, don’t keep us guessing, just tell us what it is.”
The auctioneer smiled and said: “This is an incredible King Medicine, and it could even be called an Immortal Medicine! Fellow great alchemists, please take a careful look. You will be able to recognize it immediately.”
Eventually, one alchemist as old as a fossil stood up. His clouded eyes opened up wide as he emotionally stuttered: “No…! Can… this be the legendary Longevity Fruit?”
“What! Longevity Fruit?” The speculation of this old alchemist left the venue in shock.
All the other alchemists stood up and focused their eyes for a better look.
One alchemist whispered: “Longevity Fruit — although it is a fruit, the fruit appears at the area of its roots. With the shape of a potato, it has a shade of purple in the dark…”
He then lost his voice and shouted: “This really is the legendary Longevity Fruit!”
After hearing the confirmation, the ancestors hiding in their private rooms all cried out: “Longevity Fruit!”
Inside these dark rooms came burning bright glares.
“Elder Li’s vision is quite keen, truly worthy of being a renowned alchemist in our Alchemy Realm.”
The auctioneer praised the old alchemist who was the first to recognize the fruit: “Fellow guests, this is correct, this is indeed a Longevity Fruit.”
One old alchemist emotionally muttered: “Longevity Fruit… I have been an alchemist for five thousand years, but this is my first time seeing one.”
The auctioneer said: “Fellow guests, a Longevity Fruit has one root and two fruits; this is one of the two fruits. Our Golem Square is auctioning this in place of its owner.”
All the buyers were breathless, especially the ancestors from the great powers. Just prior to this was the Difficult Dao Era, so new Virtuous Paragon didn’t appear. Thus, all the current Virtuous Paragons ancestors were those who had slept for tens of thousands of years or even longer. They relied on Blood Era Stones to seal themselves deep underground for their slumber.
These characters had limited lifespans. A few of them were even on the verge of dying and didn’t want to come into being until the very last moment. They desired medicines that could prolong their life more than anyone else. Influential great powers, especially imperial lineages, tried their best to buy these longevity items for their ancestors.
Although these Longevity Medicines had exorbitant prices, they were the most common form of life prolongment and had always been greatly sought after.
Imperial ancestors ate these medicines like meals, but it was not an everlasting panacea. Eventually, the ancestors would keep using them until the effects diminished to the point where they would have to find rarer spirit gra.s.ses and immortal medicines to prolong their lives.
The auctioneer spoke unceasingly: “Fellow guests, I know that there will always be someone in need of this Longevity Fruit. In fact, even if fellow guests do not need it, you can still buy it as a gift for your elders. It would be an amazing and filial offering…”
The auctioneer talked and talked, but the buyers were mesmerized by the Longevity Fruit so they didn’t mind his constant ramblings. This fruit was far too rare, so just looking at it a bit longer was a fortune in and of itself.
In fact, the Golem Square was working to increase the impact of this matter. The auctioning of an item like this Longevity Fruit was prohibitively rare since owners of them would normally never put them up for sale.
If the square had the ability to auction such an item, then its prestige would rise substantially and it would have even more customers in the future. This Longevity Fruit would become a source of fame to them, so they even waived the usual entrance fee.
“Honored guests!” The auctioneer finally arrived at the main point: “Our boss has personally appraised it, this fruit can increase one’s lifespan by six hundred years!”
“Six hundred years!” The ancestors could no longer sit still, and all the buyers felt their hearts beating faster. Everyone present had one or two elders or an ancestor back in their clan. Nothing could be better if they could give this fruit to their ancestor.
