Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

Chapter 950: Chapter 948: The Auction Begins

The strong ones above are as such, and naturally, there are even more strong ones with a Fire Attribute. Therefore, treasures with a Fire Attribute are undoubtedly one of the most popular existences among all types of attributes.

The Ancestral Court using such a treasure to start the auction is undoubtedly setting the tone for this grand auction, aiming to create an unprecedented grand occasion.

The voice of the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor had just fallen on the stage, and the bids were already coming in.

“Tenth VIP Room, fifteen hundred Purple Crystal Coins.” Bidding isn’t something the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor needs to do himself, as the auction’s staff reported the price immediately.

There were definitely not only the Tenth VIP Room bidding; surely many other bidders had also placed their bids. A thousand Purple Crystal Coins was without a doubt an extremely high price, but the bigger races could still afford it. However, in the process of simultaneous bidding, it was probably only the Tenth VIP Room that had bid so much more. Thus, other prices naturally didn’t matter, and only this one thousand five hundred price was reported.

Is it worth it to buy the Eternal Sunflower for fifteen hundred Purple Crystal Coins? Of course, it is. This thing can’t be measured by value in the first place. Normally, as the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor said, it would not enter the market for circulation. Treasures like the Sunflower Spirit Clan would be kept for their own descendants to use. Even if it somehow ended up outside, would the Sunflower Spirit Clan not pursue it?

They are different from the Blue Golden Tree Clan. The Blue Golden Tree Clan is frail by nature, while the Sunflower Spirit Clan is the strongest race of the Rihchen Empire. There’s an essential difference. That’s why the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor emphasized earlier that this auction item could be used directly without being held accountable by the Sunflower Spirit Clan, as it was specially authorized by the Tianyang Spirit King.

“Sixteen hundred!” The next bid did not take too long to come in. The auction that was supposed to go up by tens had suddenly jumped by a hundred.

The bid didn’t come from a VIP room but was instead a bid within the auction ground. For the sake of convenience and the safety of the bidders, those outside the VIP rooms would only call out prices, not bid numbers. After all, the auction hall would keep records, and after the end of the bidding, they would naturally go to settle the account directly.

“Brother, should we bid?” Jin Miaosen appeared eager to try, she already knew that their clan now had money.

The Great Elder said irritably, “Why should we? To burn ourselves?” If there’s a race that dislikes the fire attribute the most, it would surely be the Blue Golden Tree Clan.

Inside the Tenth VIP Room were the members of the Dragon Clan, presumably, the fiery dragon that had been somewhat disrespectful to Pretty Girl earlier was participating in the bidding.

Tang San smiled and said, “No rush, let’s watch a bit longer and see. Let’s see the degree of premium in today’s auction.”

After sixteen hundred, the pace of the price increase started to slow down, mainly because the first bid was too steep. These are Purple Crystal Coins, not Elemental Coins; they are entirely different concepts. A single Purple Crystal Coin is already equivalent to nearly ten thousand Elemental Coins. And there’s even Tianyu Coin in between.

Purple Crystal Coins are the most valuable existence, even divine tools that are worth more than a thousand Purple Crystal Coins are definitely not numerous. They have to be especially practical to be possible.

“Seventeen hundred and twenty!” The price increased again, and the number of participants in the bidding began to decrease.

Just then, a voice came from the highest level VIP room, “Eighteen hundred.” This person didn’t even press the button to bid but spoke the price directly.

Through divine consciousness, Tang San already knew the source of the voice. Hearing this, a faint smile couldn’t help but form at the corner of his mouth.

Because the person speaking was none other than the Eternal Heaven Burning Immortal Monster Emperor, the most powerful in real combat within the Tianyu Empire.

This Great Demon Emperor, who once ranked third but now second, had seen his status in the Tianyu Empire rise to an incredibly high level ever since the Crystal Great Demon Emperor fell. Especially since the Heavenly Fox Great Demon Emperor’s cultivation base weakened after Tang San’s Tribulation, the influence of the Undying Great Demon Emperor had grown even greater. Moreover, he was the current Phoenix Lord of the Phoenix Demon Clan; before a Dragon Master emerged, even the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor of the Dragon Clan could not compare to him.

Hearing that the Undying Great Demon Emperor actually made a bid, the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor, acting as the Main Auctioneer, couldn’t help but be slightly taken aback.

Although the Ephemeral Sunflower was excellent, it wasn’t of much significance for an existence at the level of the Undying Great Demon Emperor. The Undying Fire Phoenix Domain of the Undying Great Demon Emperor was in some aspects even stronger than the Sunfire Domain, only comparable to the exclusive Domain of the Tianyang Spirit King.

But in the next moment, the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor understood. Of course, the Undying Great Demon Emperor didn’t need the Ephemeral Sunflower, but his descendants did! Why hold this auction, if not for the main reason of preparing for the upcoming grand contest? To get a better ranking in the battle for the throne during the Martial Contest for a Royal Consort, not only personal strength mattered, but also the gains from this super auction were extremely important.

“Tenth VIP Room, nineteen hundred Purple Crystal Coins.”

Just as the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor was considering whether to push the bid or not, the Tenth VIP Room had already declared a new price.

The Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly and kept silent. He was currently the stand-in patriarch of the Dragon Clan, but in reality, after the fall of the Crystal Great Demon Emperor, the Dragon Clan internally didn’t acknowledge him as their interim Dragon Master. One reason was that he did not have absolute strength, not even ranking very high within the Tianyu Empire; the other was due to his Dark attribute. The majority of the Dragon Clan held a certain aversion to the Dark attribute.

He knew that the Tenth VIP Room was the Dragon Clan bidding, but those dragons participating in the auction did not only lack any relation to him but in some sense could be considered his opponents. Led by the Light Dragon King, An Yu, this branch was a powerful contender for the succession as City Lord of Crystal City.

From the perspective of both being part of the Dragon Clan, the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor naturally should stand on their side. But internally within the Dragon Clan, it was another matter.

However, in comparison to the words of the Undying Great Demon Emperor, he would, of course, be more inclined to side with the Dragon Clan. Watching the Tenth VIP Room and the Undying Great Demon Emperor’s bidding war undoubtedly represented a conflict between the Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Demon Clan. Although the Undying Great Demon Emperor himself was extremely powerful, An Yu represented the Dragon Clan, and the Competition between the Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Demon Clan was inherent.

“Two thousand!” The voice of the Undying Great Demon Emperor appeared once again. The price of two thousand Purple Crystal Coins had begun to exceed the value of the Ephemeral Sunflower itself, especially considering the Sunflower Spirit Clan was not causing trouble.

“Two thousand one hundred!” Faced with a monarch, the Dragon Clan side also appeared very generous, not increasing by tens of Purple Crystal Coins each time but by a whole hundred. This also displayed the Dragon Clan’s robust foundation.

The Dragon Clan was known for their love of collecting treasures and hence were considered extremely wealthy.

“Two thousand one hundred!” The Undying Great Demon Emperor continued to bid steadily.

“Two thousand two hundred!” The Tenth VIP Room was relentless.

At this point, apart from these two, the other bidders had already withdrawn. With the price reaching this level, even if there were those who could still participate, they wouldn’t want to get involved in a dispute between the two strongest races – the Dragon and Phoenix clans. After all, it was a matter of mutual suppression between these two dominant races.

Sitting in VIP Room No.8, Tang San slightly furrowed his brows. Was the Ephemeral Sunflower good? Of course, it was. But to say it was irreplaceable wasn’t quite accurate. Tang San believed that the Phoenix Demon Clan surely had even better things.

However, when it came to the dispute between the Dragon and Phoenix clans, it was no longer just a matter of money. It was very likely that the price of this treasure would be driven up to an astronomical figure.
