Chapter 272: Longevity Fruit Appears
Something as precious as the longevity fruit cannot remain on the auction block forever.
After just a brief display, Guli walked down the auction table with the jade box containing the longevity fruit.
At the same time, Shui Xin's voice resounded throughout the auction house.
"My fellow Taoists, what I just showed you is the Longevity Fruit."
"I believe that fellow Taoists have already seen that this time, our Liuxian City Auction House will auction off a total of two longevity fruits."
After a pause, Shui Xin continued, "Also, these two longevity fruits will be auctioned together!"
"Wow!"
Shui Xin's words immediately ignited the atmosphere of the entire venue.
The monks in the box upstairs all had different expressions in an instant.
Although the monks in the hall on the first floor could not afford to take pictures, they were also very excited.
It turned out that two longevity fruits were auctioned together, which meant that the cultivator who finally obtained these two longevity fruits could add twenty years to his lifespan at once.
That’s twenty years of life.
In twenty years, there may be more opportunities and hope to enter the next level.
What the cultivators didn't know was that this was the result of a joint discussion among the entire Liuxian City Auction House, the City Lord's Mansion, and the Loose Cultivator Alliance. Only in this way could the two longevity fruits be sold at the highest price.
Only in this way can their Liuxiancheng Auction House obtain greater benefits.
If there was only one chance to bid, wouldn't the families hoping to win the Longevity Fruit have to reveal all their cards at once?!
Very satisfied with the reactions of the cultivators below, Shui Xin continued, "It's worth mentioning that the appraisers at our Liuxian City Auction House have already verified that these two longevity fruits were picked no more than four months ago."
"I believe all of you fellow Taoists know that the longer the longevity fruit is preserved, the more its spiritual energy and medicinal properties will be lost, and the lifespan it prolongs will be reduced. However, these two longevity fruits have lost almost no spiritual energy or medicinal properties."
"This also means that in addition to gaining longevity, it is very likely that the cultivators who eat these two longevity fruits can also gain other benefits."
This last sentence is a bit exaggerated.
Lin Xia and Su Linghan had all eaten the longevity fruit, so they naturally knew that the effect of the longevity fruit in increasing lifespan was worth talking about.
As for strengthening the body, it is definitely not as good as the body-refining exercises. Besides, there is no cultivator who is not physically strong.
The spiritual energy inside is really rich.
If a cultivator's cultivation level has just reached the limit of breakthrough, it is possible that I can help him break through.
"Then, the next item to be auctioned is the last item of this auction - two longevity fruits."
"The starting price for these two longevity fruits is 100,000 mid-grade spirit stones! Each bid must not be less than 1,000 mid-grade spirit stones."
As soon as Shui Xin finished speaking, the noisy atmosphere on the field stagnated.
In the box on the second floor, Lin Xia, who had been sitting upright due to the appearance of the longevity fruit, could not help but sit up straight again.
Did she hear it wrong? This was the starting price. The starting price was 100,000 mid-grade spirit stones?
This is equivalent to 100 million low-grade spirit stones, right?
How can this be sold?
Moreover, each price increase cannot be less than one thousand medium-grade spirit stones.
The people at the Liuxian City Auction House are probably planning to make a killing!
Just as Lin Xia was struggling with her conscience, Shui Xin at the auction table opened her red lips and began to bid for the monk in the box upstairs.
"Box No. 5 on the third floor offers one hundred and one thousand medium-grade spirit stones."
"Box No. 30 on the fourth floor offers one hundred and two thousand mid-grade spirit stones."
"Box No. 13 on the sixth floor offers 103,000 medium-grade spirit stones."
……
"Box No. 3 on the second floor is offering a price of 120,000 medium-grade spirit stones."
"Box No. 11 on the second floor is offering 130,000 medium-grade spirit stones."
Shui Xin's voice trembled with excitement as the bidding price continued to soar.
……
After dozens of rounds of bidding, the cultivators in the box upstairs raised the price to 150,000 medium-grade spirit stones.
At this moment, Lin Xia was no longer worried that the two longevity fruits could not be sold. Listening to the bidding sounds coming from outside the box, she couldn't help feeling a little jealous.
Haha, there are really a lot of rich people in Tianyan Continent!
She was previously feeling complacent about the spirit stones she earned from selling elixirs and monster corpses. This little bit of spirit stones is really nothing.
However, thinking that he was the one who took out the longevity fruit, Lin Xia felt strangely happy again.
Haha, no matter how high the price these people offer, in the end, doesn't it all end up in my storage ring?!
Thinking of this, Lin Xia also joined the bidding.
"Box No. 10 on the second floor offers 153,000 medium-grade spirit stones."
Shui Xin's excited voice was clearly heard in the private room. Xiao Chu, who had been sitting in a row waiting for Su Linghan to peel melon seeds, turned around and looked at Lin Xia, somewhat puzzled. "Huh? Mother, aren't we in private room number ten?"
The old mother who secretly raised the price was exposed by Xiaochu. She became angry and said, "Don't meddle in adult affairs, little kid!"
Seeing his mother like this, Xiaochu suddenly understood and turned around and laughed secretly.
Even Su Linghan couldn't help but chuckle.
Fortunately, other cultivators raised the price, and Shui Xin's voice was heard outside the box again, which relieved Lin Xia's embarrassment.
At this moment, Lin Xia thought of the Shangguan family again, and didn't know which floor and which box the Shangguan family's cultivator was in.
If what the two female cultivators of the Ji family said was true, the Shangguan family should be determined to obtain these two longevity fruits.
The competition in the field is becoming more and more fierce, and the price has been raised to 300,000 medium-grade spirit stones.
After the price reached 300,000 medium-grade spirit stones, only the cultivators on the second and third floors continued to bid higher.
After a few more rounds, only three monks in the boxes were still bidding.
They are Box No. 3, Box No. 7, and Box No. 11 on the second floor.
Moreover, the monks in each box followed closely, and the price was soaring.
After two more rounds, only the monks in Box No. 3 and Box No. 11 on the second floor were still bidding.
The monk in box number three bid decisively, as if he was determined to win.
But the cultivator in Box No. 11 was somewhat unhurried. He would not continue to follow until Shui Xin at the auction table asked twice if there were any fellow Taoists who wanted to raise the price.
Lin Xia even thought that this was a shill arranged by the Liuxian City Auction House, who, like himself, just wanted to raise the price of the two longevity fruits.
After all, the higher the auction price, the more profit the Liuxian City Auction House will make, right?!
Of course, Lin Xia was not the only one who thought so, many people on the scene also had this idea.
Even Shui Xin, the auctioneer, was somewhat suspicious and wondered if that was a shill arranged by their auction house.
But, for such an important matter, why didn’t you inform me in advance?
