With the declaration of the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor, the atmosphere in the hall instantly heated up.
“Three thousand Purple Crystal Coins, VIP Room No.8.” The lively atmosphere instantly became tense.
In VIP Room No.8, Tang San was smiling as he withdrew his finger from pressing the button, while the surrounding Elders looked at him with admiration.
Even the Substitute Lotus Seeds have been sold for over four thousand, why should the Blue Gold Fruit be priced lower? Tang San was directly setting the price for this Great Demon King Level Blue Gold Fruit, and also saving everyone time.
There is no rule in the grand auction that one cannot participate in bidding for the items they provide, as long as one can truly pay the price in cash.
How outrageous! Everyone from various VIP rooms participating in the auction felt indignant.
This was a blatant price hike. All the powerful beings knew that the Blue Gold Tree Clan was inside VIP Room No.8, but they were directly doubling the starting bid. What could you do?
Had this been the first item auctioned, it might have encountered resistance from the bidders. But the Substitute Lotus Seeds were previously sold for a high price of 4200 Purple Crystal Coins. In terms of value, the rarity of the Blue Gold Fruit is even higher than that of the Substitute Lotus Seeds. After all, prolonging life by a hundred years is just too powerful. So, is three thousand expensive? Bearable, just slightly above its actual value. Of course, this is based on the premise that a Great Demon King Level Blue Gold Tree Clan Elder can only produce two to three fruits in their lifetime.
Tang San smiled faintly, inflating the price was exactly what he aimed to do. He can’t just spend money without making any!
“Three thousand one hundred Purple Crystal Coins, Room Four.” As expected, a new bid appeared immediately.
“Three thousand two hundred Purple Crystal Coins, …”
The enthusiasm for the bidding was not suppressed by Tang San’s three thousand bid, and he did not continue to bid either. That’s about enough; any more aggressive price-raising might provoke public anger, something Tang San would not do.
“Four thousand Purple Crystal Coins! VIP Room No.1.” The Heavenly Fox Clan finally made their move. And their bid not only settled the deal but in fact, increased the heat for the Blue Gold Fruit.
Could something that even the Heavenly Fox Clan, controllers of fate and luck, desires be inferior?
The price of the Blue Gold Fruit shot up with a speed even Tang San was astonished by. And those participating in the bidding were almost all from VIP rooms. These VIP rooms may well represent the will of Emperors!
“Four thousand eight hundred Purple Crystal Coins, Room Two.” The Sunflower Spirit Clan made a move?
Tang San had a bad feeling, and sure enough, right after the Sunflower Spirit Clan bid, the voice of Tianyang Spirit King followed, “I’ll help you raise the price. If you win it, give me one as well.”
Tang San’s mouth twitched slightly, feeling the swift turn of karma. The Tianyang Spirit King was indeed cunning and calculating.
“You should have eaten it already, right?” Tang San said helplessly.
Tianyang Spirit King replied, “Who would disdain good things? Eating more even after having it is beneficial for maintaining life force, although it doesn’t prolong life. After all, with the Tree Ancestor revived, the life rank of your Blue Gold Fruits has also been elevated.”
Tang San thought about the words of the Great Elder and with a thought, he said, “Your Majesty, I have something to report to you.”
“Speak,” Tianyang Spirit King said concisely.
Tang San said, “In my lifetime, I have not yet produced a Blue Gold Fruit. I plan to keep accumulating until I reach the Emperor status to produce one. Although I am not sure of its effect, I think it will definitely extend life by more than a hundred years.”
Hearing his words, Tianyang Spirit King fell silent. After a long while, that familiar divine consciousness transmitted again, “Heaven knows, earth knows, you know, I know, understand?”
“Understood,” Tang San immediately answered.
“Hmm.” The divine consciousness of Tianyang Spirit King interrupted.
Tang San revealed a faint smile from the corner of his mouth, clearly understanding the meaning of ‘Heaven knows, earth knows, you know, I know’. By telling the other party this information, it meant that he was intending to offer it! As for the effect his Blue Gold Fruit could produce, it was for Tianyang Spirit King to imagine. And clearly, he himself didn’t have that capability!
Tang San wasn’t a true member of the Blue Gold Tree Clan. Although he had the Tree Ancestor Brand, a Blue Gold Fruit truly required one to transform into a Blue Gold Tree and cultivate over a long period to be possible. Tang San obviously couldn’t transform into a Blue Gold Tree; he only had the Bloodline Brand of the Blue Gold Tree Clan. Therefore, he simply painted a big pie for Tianyang Spirit King, a pie the latter had to be tempted by. The underlying message to Tianyang Spirit King was simple: Want it? Help me become an Emperor then!
“Five thousand Purple Crystal Coins, Room Six,” muttered Tang San, seeing that the Behemoth Giant Beast has quite some wealth.
Five thousand, satisfactory. This price had exceeded Tang San’s earlier estimates. It was much higher than the intrinsic value of the Blue Gold Fruits, even without considering promotional factors.
“Please wait a moment,” Tang San’s voice came from VIP Room No.8, interrupting the current auction.
The Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor frowned slightly and looked towards Tang San stepping out from VIP Room No.8.
Behind Tang San, eight spikes flashed with a faint blue glow, adorned in the ornate attire of the Blue Gold Tree Clan, and the rich Life Aura emanating from him signified his identity.
Tang San gave a slight bow to the auction platform where the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor was, saying, “Respected Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor, as the provider of this auction item, I have a few words to address to everyone, if permitted. It’s not to inflate the price.”
After a slight frown, the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor nodded and said, “Keep it short.”
Tang San smiled lightly, his gaze surveying the multiple VIP rooms around, and said with a smile, “I greatly appreciate the introduction previously made by His Majesty the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor about our clan’s Blue Gold Fruits. Indeed, it is very challenging for Blue Gold Fruits, particularly those produced at levels above the Great Spirit King, to be born. Typically, our Great Spirit King powerhouses are also unwilling to spend a lot of time producing these treasures that consume their own life source. Because once such a Blue Gold Fruit is produced, it means giving up the possibility to ascend to Emperor status.”
“Perhaps, you might say, aspiring to become an Emperor is an impossible task in itself. But what do we fear most? It is losing hope. If we keep hope, there’s at least that slim possibility. At least for myself, I definitely won’t attempt to condense a Blue Gold Fruit until I have achieved Emperor status. Therefore, every Blue Gold Fruit at the Great Spirit King level of our clan is an extremely precious existence. Including myself, we only have four powerhouses at the Great Spirit King level still existing in our clan. That is why the price of such levels of Blue Gold Fruits is so high.”
“Of course, is it worth five thousand Purple Crystal Coins? I believe it is worth it, and surely many friends participating in the auction might think it is not worth it, feeling it is too expensive. But with the upcoming martial arts competition for marriage proposal as a backdrop, it is in high demand. We from the Blue Gold Tree Clan are not greedy; five thousand Purple Crystal Coins is indeed a high price for us. Just now, I observed that mainly VIP Rooms One, Two, Four, Six, and Ten are still in the competition. If the competition continues, I estimate the price of the Blue Gold Fruits might even exceed six thousand. I do not wish to inflate it to too high a price, as our Blue Gold Tree Clan is already coveted enough. Thus, I have a proposal, please consider it, those five VIP rooms. We do not have many Blue Gold Fruits at the Great Spirit King level left, apart from a few we keep, we could gather four more. Why not stop competing and agree on the price of five thousand Purple Crystal Coins each? Our clan, mastering the Strength of Life, naturally hopes the radiance of life can spread to more races. However, I must regretfully inform everyone that after this auction, it is unlikely that our clan will produce any more Blue Gold Fruits at the Great Spirit King level for the next hundred years. If you do not agree with my proposal, please feel free to continue participating in the auction.”
