Chapter 352: High-Value Acquisition

"It seems that this withered branch is truly a highly valuable item. With three thousand low-grade spirit stones, plus the previous ten thousand low-grade spirit stones from the sale of his mid-grade spirit stone, Fang Chen's performance is indeed terrifying."

"The Immortal Origin District has been around for many years, and only a few people can consistently increase their wealth like this. Is he really just lucky? Or is he an Immortal Origin Master?"

The crowd whispered among themselves.

Qian Jiuye's expression was full of excitement.

Fang Jue looked at Fang Chen with a thoughtful gaze, curiosity flickering in his eyes.

Could they have all been mistaken? They had all thought that Fang Chen had been merely lucky. But what if this hadn't been Fang Chen's first time dealing with Immortal Origin Stones and he had in fact been exposed to them a long time ago?

Was Fang Chen pretending to be the pig to eat the tiger?

Fang Jue wasn't the only one with this thought.

Qian Feng's face turned green as if he had tasted something unpleasant. He glanced slowly at Master Wu and noticed that the latter's expression wasn't any better either, which eased his feelings.

Fang Lingxing stared unblinkingly at Fang Chen. Is this guy really just relying on luck?

Beside her, Jue Wudi appeared calm on the surface, but his gaze kept shifting between the withered branch, Fang Chen, and the elder as if he were evaluating something.

"Lifespan Peach?" Tong Hu murmured to himself, then bowed respectfully. "Fellow cultivator, may I ask what a Lifespan Peach is? Why have I never heard of it before? Is it really worth three thousand low-grade spirit stones?"

The elder chuckled lightly, plucked a peach, and threw it to the girl beside him. The girl caught it swiftly and ate it in a few bites.

The elder smiled and explained, "The so-called Lifespan Peach grants ten additional years of lifespan after it is eaten. It’s not strange that you have not seen this treasure before, as not everyone has had the chance to encounter it in their lives."

Sharp breaths were drawn as everyone exchanged looks filled with shock and disbelief.

Were their ears playing tricks on them?!

Was there a peach that could actually increase one’s lifespan by ten years?

One had to know that any treasure that could lengthen one’s lifespan was priced exorbitantly and extremely hard to come by. Even Golden Core Realm experts might not be able to get their hands on one!

In the hands of those who really need it, a peach that can add ten years to one’s life could be worth ten thousand low-grade spirit stones!

Even if one wasn’t worried about their lifespan at the moment, they could purchase the treasure and keep it for future use. Three thousand low-grade spirit stones really did seem like a small price to pay.

They would have never imagined that something so valuable could be cut open from an Immortal Origin Stone before Fang Chen appeared.

Since this price was set by Tong Hu, no one doubted his assessment of the item's value.

Qian Feng's face turned from green to blue. But fortunately for him, they had already sold the treasure for three thousand spirit stones. They could only record the initial price it was sold at, not the subsequent price.

"Fellow cultivator, I'm planning on planting this spiritual tree myself, so I won't be selling it," said the elder with a smile.

It was at this moment that a woman suddenly walked in from outside. "Fellow cultivator, since this treasure appeared in my Grand Qian Empire, it should have a connection with us. Can you do me a favor and leave it here?"

Qian Feng and Qian Jiuye hurriedly got up and saluted, "Qian Feng (Qian Jiuye) pays respects to the ancestor."

"That's the Golden Core Realm Ancestor of the Royal Family!”

"That’s Princess Shenlong. I heard she is the emperor's aunt and has lived for more than four hundred years..."

The surrounding cultivators were full of doubts and surprise.

A Golden Core Realm Ancestor from the Royal Family actually came!

The elder shook his head with a smile that wasn't quite a smile. "I've already said that I'm not planning to sell this spiritual tree. For a mere twenty thousand low-grade spirit stones, you want to buy this tree of endless prospects?"

Just as he finished speaking, several auras appeared at the entrance.

First, a strong scent of alcohol filled the air, and then everyone saw an old man carrying a gourd sauntering in.

Next came a middle-aged man in loose robes, with a naturally gloomy expression.

The members of the Fang Family and the Jue Family present quickly saluted upon seeing them. One of them was a Golden Core Realm Ancestor from the Fang Family and the other was from the Jue Family.

If they included Princess Shenlong and Tong Hu, there were already four Golden Core Realm cultivators present, not to mention the old man whose cultivation level was unknown.

The crowd's expression turned odd, but they couldn't help but start feeling excited.

They were here to watch the exciting bet between two members of the royal family. Who would've thought that the situation would turn out in this way?

Normally, they wouldn't have the opportunity to admire those Golden Core Realm ancestors who were legendary figures in the Imperial Capital from this up close.

The Golden Core Realm ancestor from the Fang Family stared at Fang Chen with a strange expression. "Young man, I heard you found something good again. Looks like you actually obtained the root of a spiritual tree?!"
