Seems I Won't Finish Writing Again
The auction was in full swing, with each item being incredibly valuable, so valuable that everyone was eager to participate. The most popular items were weapons, equipment, and rare and precious supplies, as these could be used directly in the War of Conquest. Therefore, almost all the weapons, equipment, and supplies were geared towards use by eleventh-tier Great Demon Kings, making their value extremely high.
Other VIP rooms continued to make moves, but Tang San, who had previously been the center of attention, remained quiet in VIP room number eight, seemingly deliberately concealing his true abilities.
"Your Majesty, as you said, I obtained the substitute lotus seed. What compensation will you give me? Will you reimburse me?" Tang San, in VIP room number eight, was communicating with Emperor Tianyang through divine sense.
"Who told you to actually take it? Just raise the price and give it to them," Emperor Tianyang said irritably.
Tang San said, "Since you've already spoken, I tried my best. I was thinking that if the Dragon Clan raised the price again, I wouldn't take it. Who knew they would bid 500 in the first bid, but not this 100?" He deliberately made his voice sound a little aggrieved.
"So be it. It'll be of some use to you anyway," Emperor Tianyang said calmly.
"Then what about the reimbursement..." Tang San asked tentatively.
Emperor Tianyang retorted, "When did I say I would reimburse you?"
"Huh? Didn't you say you'd compensate me? You can't just kick me while I'm at it! I was even planning to participate in the auction later according to your wishes. We still have some funds in reserve." Tang San's voice lowered a few decibels.
Emperor Tianyang seemed to hesitate for a moment before saying, "I'll give you another substitute lotus seed as compensation, which is basically reimbursing you, right?"
Another one? That's practically half price, just as I predicted. Tang San wasn't afraid of Tianyang Tianjinghuang reneging on the deal. It was Tianyang Tianjinghuang who got him involved in the auction; if he were to betray him now, how could Tianyang Tianjinghuang continue to use him later?
Sure enough, he still had some substitute lotus seeds. Two of them would be good!
Of course, the more of this kind of good stuff, the better.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Tang San didn't press the matter further and went along with it.
"Hmm. Continue participating in the auction. Didn't you also sign up for the competition? Buy yourself some necessities. However, don't push yourself too hard while participating. All the participants this time are extremely competitive," said Emperor Tianyang.
"I understand. I'm just going through a training period. I don't have any other thoughts," Tang San said with a smile.
Two substitute lotus seeds, one Frozen Throne. Not bad.
"Next is the tenth item. This item is extremely valuable; possessing it on the battlefield is like having a second life. Even better than having a second life." The Dark Demon Emperor clearly showed some excitement as he said this. This was also the only item he had begun introducing before it even appeared on the stage.
As the platform slowly rose, the faint blue-gold light on the auction stage began to brighten. Since the item wasn't concealed, its aura could clearly emanate from it.
The extremely rich life energy emanated outwards, and even the Dark Demon King who was presiding over the auction was covered with a layer of blue halo.
It was a fruit, no bigger than a fist, its cylindrical body a deep blue, adorned with golden glints like stars. Surrounding the fruit was a deep blue halo, radiating the full glow of life. Within that halo, one could vaguely sense countless life energies constantly rising and sublimating. Most strangely, it not only emanated life itself, but also seemed to be drawing energy from the air, transforming this primal force of heaven and earth into life energy.
This bizarre scene immediately caught the attention of all the bidders.
In a normal auction, typically one of the ten items will be particularly valuable, thus igniting the bidding frenzy. This mega auction clearly followed this rule, and the tenth item was obviously quite valuable, no less so than the first three.
A glint of light flickered in the eyes of the Dark Demon Emperor as he introduced, "This item is undoubtedly extremely precious. Even for an emperor, it holds immense value. I have consumed it once in my long life, so I can assure you that the effects I describe are genuine and effective."
"Many of you bidders can probably tell that this is a Blue Gold Fruit from the Blue Gold Tree Clan. Yes, it is indeed this most precious treasure. The Blue Gold Tree Clan is a race descended from the Tree Ancestor, wielding the power of life. The Blue Gold Fruit is a fruit that only grows after the Blue Gold Tree Clan reaches adulthood. Generally speaking, a Blue Gold Tree Clan member can produce at least one Blue Gold Fruit per year. However, Blue Gold Fruits are also divided into many levels. The effects of Blue Gold Fruits produced by Blue Gold Tree Clan members of different levels are also different. In my opinion, Blue Gold Fruits below the King level are still valuable, but Blue Gold Fruits produced by Blue Gold Tree Clan members of the King level and above cannot be measured by value."
Listening to the Dark Demon King's passionate introduction, even Tang San, sitting in VIP Room No. 8, was somewhat surprised. When did the Dark Demon King become so affectionate towards the Blue-Gold Tree Clan? To praise them so highly? Without a doubt, this Blue-Gold Fruit was provided by him!
The Dark Demon King continued, "The Blue-Gold Fruit possesses immense life energy, making it a natural healing elixir. Moreover, it's a healing medicine without side effects. There are many types of medicines, with the more advanced ones stimulating the body's own life potential for self-healing. However, the side effect of such medicines is that they affect one's vitality. But the Blue-Gold Fruit doesn't; it directly infuses you with a vast and peaceful life energy, allowing this energy to heal your injuries by nourishing your body. Furthermore, the Blue-Gold Fruit itself has an extremely high life level, greatly improving physical constitution, and can be consumed by any race. A Blue-Gold Fruit at the Great Demon King level can even extend the lifespan of a ruler like us by a hundred years. Although it's only effective after one use, a hundred years of lifespan is, I think, priceless for any race. And I must tell you, the production of Blue-Gold Fruits at the Great Demon King level is extremely rare. A Great Demon King can only produce two to three in their lifetime."
Upon hearing its words, Tang San couldn't help but look at the Grand Elder beside him with some surprise. If he remembered correctly, he had dozens of Blue Gold Fruits of this level in his storage ring.
The First Elder transmitted his voice through divine sense. "Clan leader, propaganda is all about external communication. You understand. One fruit every five years, we can still manage that. However, it seems you haven't condensed a Blue-Gold Fruit yet. Then you shouldn't try. Condensing a Blue-Gold Fruit does have some impact on our life essence. If you become an emperor in the future, the first Blue-Gold Fruit you condense will definitely be an extremely rare treasure that will shake the entire continent. At that time, even emperors will probably go crazy for it."
Tang San now understood why the Blue-Gold Tree Clan was so wealthy. It was because of their resource monopoly! Monopolizing resources meant having pricing power; they could set the price however they wanted.
Jin Miaosen was standing quietly to the side, head down and face flushed. The Blue-Gold Fruit she'd taken out to sell that day wasn't at the King level or higher, but she later learned that it could extend lifespan by five to ten years and could stack with the effects of higher-level Blue-Gold Fruits. In terms of value, one hundred amethyst coins wasn't much.
Naïve and innocent comes at a price: financial ruin! Luckily, Tang San happened to be there at the time.
