Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

Chapter 953: Chapter 951: Legend of the Joined Lotus

But somehow, perhaps because the speed was too fast, the originally intended number 2510 was mistakenly entered as 2501. The numbers 1 and 0 were swapped; it could even be said they were entered without priority.

“2500 for the third time, sold!”

“Bang!” The gavel fell.

Inside the Tenth VIP Room, the Ice Dragon was instantly dumbfounded. What happened?

Xu Anyu also looked at it with a face full of surprise, “Not bidding anymore?”

“I… I think I pressed the wrong button,” said the Ice Dragon, trembling as if it had swallowed a fly.

It had finally made up its mind, even if it was 2500 Purple Crystal Coins, but it had never imagined that it, a Great Demon King of the Dragon Clan, could press the wrong button when entering a bid. If this were told to others, no one would believe it; it was simply an inconceivable situation.

“Pressing the wrong button, how could that be?” Tang Mohuang almost laughed out loud, quickly covering his mouth and turning his head away. The other Dragons in the room also had strange expressions.

A Great Demon King pressing the wrong button? They are beings with divine consciousness! Such a situation should be impossible.

Of course, Tang San did not use the Field of Fortune and Misfortune to control his Luck, especially since the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox was there. If he used the Spirit Rhinoceros Eye, the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox would discover it immediately; that would be big trouble for him.

But, he himself was a being whose Luck soared to the skies, especially since his Cultivation base had increased again, integrating several of his Super Bloodlines, further enhanced by a vast life force, his Luck had become even more profound. At this crucial moment, mystically, Luck somehow interfered, causing the Ice Dragon, who was prepared to continue bidding, to lose its eligibility to bid.

VIP Room No.8.

Tang San subconsciously thought that it was the effect of his drastic price increase. In reality, if the other party had continued to bid, he wouldn’t have increased by 500 each time. No matter how rich, one should not spend recklessly; he would opt for increasing in increments of 100. The Ice Sealed Throne was something he must acquire at any cost. It was not only for the Elder Brother but also to accumulate more for Humanity.

“Congratulations to VIP Room No. 8 for winning the Ice Sealed Throne. This divine tool is indeed the best ice attribute divine tool I know of. It’s worth continued development.” Perhaps because he saw that VIP Room No.10 failed to secure this divine tool, the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor added a few words.

“Present the third item for auction.” The auction continued.

The first two items were divine tools! This is an unprecedented situation in any auction. Technically, there’s no doubt it’s meant to boost the popularity of this super auction, and in fact, it really did.

Both divine tools were finally auctioned off at prices far exceeding their own value, fully igniting the atmosphere at the venue.

Inside VIP Room No.10, the expression on the Ice Dragon’s face was grim and somewhat unpleasant; it ultimately hesitated.

The Light Dragon King, Xu Anyu, consoled it, saying, “Brother Sun, don’t be too concerned. The occupant of VIP Room No.8 comes from the Clan Leader of the Blue Gold Tree Clan. The Blue Gold Tree Clan is of the life attribute, which does not align well with the ice attribute. Although we don’t know their purpose for the auction, it probably isn’t of much use. After the auction concludes, I will see if I can resolve this matter through communication with them. Even if we have to offer a higher price privately, we’ll try our best to help you obtain the Ice Sealed Throne.”

Upon hearing this, the mood of Sun Honghao, the Ice Dragon Demon King, improved slightly, and he nodded, saying, “It can only be so. However, the fact that they drove the price so high is truly…” At this point, a hint of fierce light flashed in his eyes.

Xu Anyu immediately noticed this and said, “Brother Sun, now is a critical moment for us, we cannot afford to make more enemies. The Blue Gold Tree Clan used to be insignificant, but everything changed after the Tree Ancestor awakened. This Clan Leader of the Blue Gold Tree Tribe has officially passed the Ancestral Court’s appraisal, becoming a formal City Lord. Even we haven’t managed to achieve this. Don’t forget the death of the Diamond Elf King, who was an Emperor, known for his defenses.”

The Ice Dragon Demon King, Sun Honghao, changed his expression slightly and nodded lightly.

While they were discussing, the third auction item was already brought onto the stage.

When this auction item appeared, the majority of the bidders were clueless because they did not know what it was.

What rose from the auction table below was an oval entity that resembled a seed, about the size of a pigeon’s egg. If one did not look closely, those bidders far away could hardly make out its details.

Tang San, in VIP Room No.8, magnified the image on the crystal screen. What could be seen was a pristine, jade-like pigeon egg-like entity. He vaguely felt that it was not an animal’s egg, but a plant. Its appearance was somewhat like a lotus seed, with a jade-like body, and inside it seemed to have two halos intersecting, flickering with strange brilliance. It was unclear what this item actually was.

Not just Tang San, even the elders of the Blue Gold Tree Clan present didn’t know.

Although they had already investigated the auction items participating in this auction beforehand, they only knew a part of it. The first item of today was known, but the Ice Sealed Throne’s appearance was unknown. Some auction items might have been delivered to the auction house just in recent days, and the order was constantly being adjusted. Hence, there wasn’t a final list of auction items available before the auction started.

Typically, an auction would provide a list to let bidders prepare mentally and target certain items, but this super auction didn’t have such provisions. The reason is easy to deduce: because the enthusiasm for participating in the auction was too high, there was no need for such preparations, and it also maintained better mystery. Just like this third auction item, recognizing it could be said to be extremely rare.

The Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor did not introduce it immediately but waited while the noisy bidders discussed for a while before slowly speaking up, “I believe everyone must feel unfamiliar with the auction item before you. Not to mention you, even I couldn’t recognize it the first time I saw it. This is a lotus seed, a special lotus’s lotus seed. The Lotus Clan, as everyone knows, is not particularly powerful in the Rihchen Empire. They have their unique traits, but because they are relatively peaceful, they lack strong combat abilities or special powers. However, there exists a special type within the Lotus Clan known as the Joined Lotus, which means a bi-entity joined from birth. The cases where a Joined Lotus cultivates to a spirit are even rarer, because energy is dispersed, and they must become spirits simultaneously, making it all the more uncommon. Moreover, since their innate bloodline isn’t particularly powerful, they are not well known.”

“But, the Joined Lotus has an extremely special Lifebound Talent. When the Joined Lotus cultivates to a spirit, and can reach the level of a King, if one of the lotus spirits dies and the other immediately follows through with a death of sorrow, such a lotus seed will be born. This type of lotus seed is called a Substitute Lotus Seed. For those below the level of Emperor, it can substitute one death. No matter how thoroughly they die, they can be reborn on the lotus platform that bore it.”

As soon as this statement was released, the whole venue was in uproar.

Just as the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor had stated, the Lotus Clan wasn’t powerful, and even the Monsters didn’t know much about this race. Even within the Rihchen Empire, they were just very ordinary.
