Chapter 522 - 372: Red Gold
Xiu Xiang saw the silver-colored mutant fruit passed by Li Yi, couldn’t help but show a hint of surprise: "This is a Divine Fruit, grown only in the burial grounds of the divine, borne by an unknown ancient tree that has absorbed the power of divine remains. Consuming it can grant a bit of the vitality of life, and it is said that some Divine Fruits can even awaken one’s Divine Bloodline."
"However, the Divine Fruit grows in forbidden lands, and even though I often pass by the Divine Canyon just outside Shoushan Village, I dare not step into it, fearing it might provoke the wrath of the divine and lead to endless calamity."
He was experienced and recognized the origin of the mutant fruit in Li Yi’s hands.
However, for Merchant Master Xiu Xiang, the Divine Fruit was not considered particularly valuable. In Beihuai City, such a Divine Fruit would only be worth ten gold coins, but if it could help awaken someone’s Divine Bloodline, then it was precious, worth more than ten thousand gold coins—a true treasure.
Because awakening a Divine Bloodline meant there would be an additional Divine Blood Family, passed down through generations.
The one given out by Li Yi was just an ordinary mutant fruit, certainly not the larger kind that could awaken bloodlines, but his gesture of kindness made Xiu Xiang very happy.
This showed that Li Yi was someone who was eager to repay kindness.
For Merchant Master Xiu Xiang, he liked dealing with such people, because it meant that his support would never be in vain.
"Alright, Da Yi, I accept your goodwill."
Xiu Xiang took the few silver-colored mutant fruits, then gestured for a servant to come over, and took a brand-new leather armor from the hands of the servant: "As compensation for my inability to help you this time, I hope you can take this piece of leather armor."
The leather armor was covered with black dragon scales, layered and indestructible, and it looked very familiar—it was the same one previously bought, made from the skin of an 800-year-old Jiao dragon.
