Chapter 150
If it weren't for the spider's senses, even he himself wouldn't have noticed the subtle changes in his body.
Zhang Hao discovered that the food he ate was quickly digested and converted into energy that was absorbed by his body, and his previously shriveled cells slowly became plump.
However, I didn't eat much, so the effect wasn't particularly noticeable.
If they can eat more, others should also notice the effect.
Is this the benefit of eliminating impurities and increasing body density?
Zhang Hao never expected that fusing with dragon fire would have such an effect besides immunity to diseases.
Increased body density means that the same body size will weigh more.
Weight gain increases physical strength, but I don't know how effective this increase in density is, or what the upper limit is.
Under the current circumstances, for every 1% increase in body density, his weight will increase by 1.5 kilograms, which means his strength will increase by tens of thousands of kilograms. This kind of increase is terrifying.
If there were no upper limit to increasing body density, and it could be increased simply by absorbing energy from food, then it's unimaginable how strong he would become.
"Brother Zhang Hao, you're already hungry after just finishing dinner?"
The fat man looked puzzled when he saw Zhang Hao finish all the fruit and pastries on the coffee table: "How about we order some more food? I have to say, the food at the Crescent Moon Hotel is ridiculously expensive, but it tastes really good."
"Yes, Uncle, what impressed me most was the bean sprout dish. It was completely different from what I usually eat. I really miss the texture and the taste."
Zhang Hao smiled and said, "Order whatever you want. I'm not going to skimp on what you eat."
"That's great, Uncle! You're awesome!"
Wu Tianzhen cheered and called over Xiao Xu to start ordering.
"Order more, there won't be enough to eat."
Zhang Hao actually wanted to eat too. Although the little bit of food he had just eaten had made him feel a bit better, he still felt weak. It was that feeling of having strength but not being able to use it.
At this moment, Ding Yudie, who had been watching the auction from the balcony, called out:
"Boss, come quick! It's the last item up for auction. I see everyone on the second floor is itching to bid. They're definitely here for this last item."
"Oh?"
Zhang Hao was also very curious about what it was that made all the major forces in the second-floor private room so concerned, even to the point of ignoring the existence of other items for the sake of this one item.
He strode onto the balcony, sat down in a chair, and continued watching the auction.
Wu Tianzhen, Fatty, and the others returned to the balcony, curiously staring at the tray in the hands of the last greeter on the stage.
"Alright, thank you all for your support. Next up is the grand finale of this auction. I'm sure you're all eager to know what it is. Now, I'd like to solemnly introduce it to you: the last item in this auction is the rare and precious medicinal herb, Blood Bodhi."
Legend has it that blood bodhi beads are formed from the blood of a qilin (a mythical creature), and ordinary blood bodhi beads are believed to have the effect of prolonging life.
Of course, ordinary blood bodhi seeds will not be the final item auctioned at the Crescent Hotel.
This is a thousand-year-old blood bodhi seed. Consuming it can extend one's lifespan by at least two to three years. Like other auction items, the starting price is 500 million, with each bid increment no less than 5 million.
As the host announced the item to be auctioned, the greeter unveiled the red cloth on the tray, revealing a palm-sized jade box containing a bright red fruit the size of a quail egg.
The moment the Blood Bodhi appeared, everyone at the auction went berserk. They stared greedily at the Blood Bodhi, wishing they could rush onto the stage and snatch it away.
If it weren't for the Crescent Hotel's strength, the scene would probably have already descended into chaos.
"Holy crap, it's actually Blood Ordinary, that legendary elixir!"
"The Crescent Moon Hotel truly lives up to its name; they're even auctioning off things that can extend lifespan!"
"Anything that can increase lifespan, even by just one day, is priceless. A thousand-year-old blood bodhi can increase lifespan by two to three years, and everyone here would give it up even if it meant going bankrupt!"
"That's right. Money can be earned back, but lifespan is something that diminishes with each passing day. No wonder no one bid on the previous items; they were all waiting for the Thousand-Year Blood Bodhi!"
"I want this too, but all my assets combined barely cover the reserve price. It's impossible for me to even dream of buying the Blood Bodhi."
……
After the auction of the thousand-year-old blood bodhi began, everyone at the scene went crazy.
The sound of bells ringing for handprints filled the air.
Unlike previous auctions, this one involved ringing a bell one at a time.
After the auction of the thousand-year-old blood bodhi began, the bell rang continuously.
Each additional liter would double the base price, but at this moment, money is just a number to them.
Everyone in the private rooms on the second floor was frantically ringing the bell, afraid that if they were too slow, the thousand-year-old blood bodhi would fall into the hands of others.
"10 million!"
"30 million!"
"50 million!"
"200 million!"
……
"My goodness, today's auction really showed me what it means to be rich."
"They didn't even blink when bids reached billions or tens of billions, it's insane!"
"You don't even look at what's up for auction. It's a blood bodhi that can increase your lifespan by two to three years. Money can buy life. If it were you, you would go bankrupt for it."
"I heard that during the Republic of China era, Zhang Dafoye of Shacheng went bankrupt trying to buy a single medicinal herb, Deer Life Grass, and spent nearly half of Shacheng's wealth to finally acquire it."
It's important to know that deer antler grass is only a life-saving medicine and cannot extend lifespan.
The thousand-year-old blood bodhi, a spiritual medicine that can increase lifespan, is even more precious; it's unknown what price it will ultimately fetch at auction.
……
Zhang Hao couldn't help but sigh as he listened to the exclamations of Wu Tianzhen, Fatty, Yi Sa, and Ding Yudie.
He had always thought that the items these people were interested in were something earth-shattering, but it turned out to be just a spiritual elixir that could extend one's lifespan by two or three years.
He possesses Qilin blood, which can increase his lifespan by 400 years.
Then the Qilin bloodline unlocked its evolutionary ability, and the lifespan gained from each advancement doubled.
Now, a level 2 Qilin bloodline already increases lifespan by 1600 years.
Theoretically speaking, as long as one continues to fuse with the special item Qilin Blood, one can keep evolving and one's lifespan can be extended indefinitely.
So two or three years of lifespan really isn't much for him.
Zhang Hao smiled. If the people present knew that his lifespan could be extended indefinitely, they would probably be envious and jealous to death.
After all, what they were willing to risk everything for was insignificant to Zhang Hao.
Longevity is the most precious thing, and since ancient times, countless emperors have pursued immortality and sought elixirs to prolong life.
No matter how powerful they are, no matter how wealthy they are, they are not immune to any consequences.
But who among them actually succeeded?
At least in the publicly known history, no one has succeeded.
It's no wonder that a miraculous elixir that can directly extend lifespan has been so sought after.
