Chapter 206: The Drifting Thoughts of the Ancient Golden Tree
In his previous life's world, the Douluo Planet, the most famous academy on the entire planet was known as Shrek Academy.
And Shrek Academy was built around an Ancient Golden Tree—a legacy of Tang San himself.
Relying on this Ancient Golden Tree, Shrek Academy remained the top power in that world for tens of millenia, its life energy helping nurture countless strong individuals.
It was destroyed at one point, yet it had sprouted once more, reborn anew and growing together with the Blue Silver Emperor—originally Tang San's mother in his previous lifetime. The Ancient Golden Tree eventually evolved into the Eternal Ancient Tree, the life core of the planet.
And these pieces of golden wood in front of him were branches of the Ancient Golden Tree. Were these things everyday items in the Solstice Empire? Did they make furniture from it?!
The Ancient Golden Tree was also known as the Tree of Life. Did that mean there were numerous Trees of Life in the Solstice Empire? No wonder the aura of life in this world was so rich!
He was becoming eager to visit the Solstice Empire to obtain some golden wood.
"Does no one need it? Carved into ornaments, golden wood is precious. Exquisitely beautiful, lighter than precious metals, easier to wear, and can even help nurture one's divinity!" The Crimson Fox Clan girl continued her efforts. But still, no one responded.
"Well then, in that case..." Yuan Yinxin didn't want to waste more time, as there were still many items to be auctioned. However, at that moment, she heard a sound and the light column appeared.
"One hundred naturae coins, a bidder offers one hundred naturae coins. Indeed, there are connoisseurs!"
Her face brightened with a rich smile. Someone had actually made a bid!
These pieces of Golden Wood were offered as the first among natural treasures because it was not something highly regarded and they didn't have high hopes for it. And yet, someone was going to buy it! It wasn't a bidding war, but it was still better than nothing.
However, that was the only bid made. Thus, this batch of Golden Wood weighing sixty-eight kilograms was sold at the base price.
On the stands, Tang San let out a sigh of relief. Even with his steady disposition, he couldn't help but show a bit of excitement on his face. Zhang Haoxuan, beside him, however, furrowed his brow.
"Are you sure this thing is useful?" he whispered.
Three hundred naturae coins was a sky-high price. This only made sense, however; as Yuan Yinxin mentioned, the treasure plants and other natural treasures that enhanced spiritual power were incredibly valuable. By contrast, the final prices of the previous auction items in the same category hadn't even exceeded two hundred naturae coins.
Tang San nodded to Zhang Haoxuan. "Master, this is the one."
"Alright." Zhang Haoxuan didn't ask further. He had already bid for the Golden Wood for Tang San; this wasn't much different.
"The bidding starts!"
"Three hundred thirty, three hundred forty, three hundred fifty, three hundred sixty!" The bidding for the Purple Sun Fruits had just begun and immediately sparked a frenzy. Clearly, many among the demon races were eager for these treasures to enhance spiritual power.
In almost no time, the bid surpassed four hundred naturae coins.
Zhang Haoxuan turned to look at Tang San, finding the price incredibly high.
Tang San nodded slightly and said, "It's worth it. In fact, it's worth even twice this. And don't forget, we have a chance for a fifty percent discount."
Zhang Haoxuan's eyes lit up. Right! Tang San had won the beast fight, earning a fifty percent discount on one auction item. The higher the price, the more they saved. With that in mind, he immediately continued bidding.
"Four hundred fifty, four hundred sixty..."
After the bid surpassed five hundred, the increments' pace slowed down.
"Five hundred twenty once... Any more for five hundred twenty? Okay, five hundred thirty..." Yuan Yinxin kept calling out bids, continuously driving up the price of the Purple Sun Fruits.
"Six hundred! Thank you, we have six hundred naturae coins going once... Can we have six hundred ten?"
"Six hundred ten, six hundred ten now. Any more?"
"Seven hundred! A generous bidder has jumped straight to seven hundred naturae coins, they are clearly determined to take these home! Are there any more bidders? This batch of Purple Sun Fruits is of excellent quality, in the best state, and picked at peak maturity for optimal effect. Twelve Purple Sun Fruits can significantly enhance spiritual power, and even set a solid foundation for ascending to the god level. The rarity of Purple Sun Fruits is well-known; their annual production on the entire continent doesn't exceed a hundred. The appearance of twelve in one auction is extremely rare!"
