The correct indirect speech is "He prayed/wished that I might live long". This is because optative sentences (like "May you live long!") are converted to indirect speech by changing "May" to "might," and the reporting verb (said to) is often changed to a more specific verb like "prayed" or "wished".
Choose the correct Indirect speech: He said to me, "May you live long"?
