Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

Chapter 954: Chapter 952 Substitute Lotus Seed

It is such a race, yet it possesses such an extraordinary ability. The Substitute Lotus Seed, this thing is not a divine tool but it is superior to a divine tool. Although it can only be used by those below the Emperor level, its level of rarity is already extremely terrifying. Especially in the upcoming competition for the Emperor’s throne, its effect will be exponentially magnified.

As we all know, whether it is the Monster Clan or the Spirit Clan, the core power lies in the bloodline power. To unleash one’s strongest power, igniting the bloodline is the best method. However, the downside of igniting the bloodline is that it is unsustainable, and once activated, it can cause severe self-harm, impacting the origin and making recovery extremely difficult. Moreover, to save one’s life, no one would completely burn their own bloodline.

However, with this Substitute Lotus Seed, it is a different story. With this item, what does it matter if you truly ignite your bloodline and die? You can be resurrected! Fully resurrected. Although it requires a process, it surely will not affect the next fight.

For those peak rank 11 powerhouses, if they ignite all their bloodline power, some strong races might be able to unleash a strength not inferior to those of Emperors, thereby producing extremely terrifying capabilities. This point is beyond doubt.

Putting this Substitute Lotus Seed up for auction at this time, its value can at least be doubled from the usual, and even more, because having it is like securing a victory. For stronger Demon Kings, this item’s effect is even greater as it may relate to the outcome of the last few critical battles in the fight for the throne.

So, how could the bidders present at the auction not be excited? Even within the VIP rooms, intense blood vigor fluctuations have risen, reflecting the unrest of those with first level bloodlines and various main city lords.

In Tenth VIP Room, Tang San’s eyes also flickered while the Elders beside him stared at him with shining eyes.

“Go for it, brother. Spare no expense, we must secure it! This thing is too good. Although our Blue Golden Tree Clan is not skilled in combat, who can burst forth more powerfully than us when it comes to igniting bloodline? Our life force is so robust, even the heavens could be pierced through once ignited. With this Substitute Lotus Seed, there’s no worry about how you burn! Moreover, our specialty is in bloodline restoration, it’s only necessary to use it unless the bloodline is utterly exhausted, this item will add an important assurance.”

Tang San nodded slightly; how could he not be moved by such a great item? He didn’t think much about himself, in fact, this thing, including for Pretty Girl, is not of much use. Although good, can the Substitute Lotus Seed match the innate bloodline ability of Nirvana and rebirth of the Undying Fire Phoenix lineage? This Seed is actually best suited for arena-style competitions, Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor did not say explicitly, but Tang San guessed that there must be a process needed for resurrection after death, not an immediate revival during combat. Phoenix Nirvana, however, can take place during combat, which highlights the difference between the two.

However, it would not be good news if this item fell into the hands of other races. It’s equivalent to allowing the opponent to dare to unleash full power! Full ignition of bloodline for a full blast is capable enough to rival Emperors, and such opponents are indeed the most difficult to deal with.

However, the price of this Substitute Lotus Seed will probably be extremely terrifying.

“One thousand Purple Crystal Coins as the starting bid, with each increment not less than one hundred Purple Crystal Coins,” announced the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor. From the starting price, it is equivalent to a divine tool, which is not too exaggerated. But the increments during the actual bidding are no less than one hundred Purple Crystal Coins, which is terrifying. It’s meant to encourage competitive bidding.

Indeed, as soon as the base price was announced, a frenzy of increments instantly started.

“One thousand five hundred Purple Crystal Coins!”

“One thousand six hundred Purple Crystal Coins!”

…

The price quickly soared, and in less than a minute, the bid had already surpassed two thousand Purple Crystal Coins.

By Tang San’s own estimation, the real value of this item is actually no less than one thousand Purple Crystal Coins, and barely reasonable within one thousand five hundred. But appearing in this special period, its value has indeed been greatly enhanced. Using this item as one of the first three auction items, the Ancestral Court really put much thoughtful effort into it!

Tang San did not rush to bid because he was aware that this auction item was different from the previous ones; it was something almost all races could use, except the Undying Fire Phoenix, which had less need for it. And for other races, there was almost a must-win mindset.

Another reason he did not rush into the auction was to observe. To observe which forces were aggressively bidding, thereby estimating their bidding capabilities. This is very crucial for the later stages of the auction. Knowing both yourself and your enemy ensures victory in every battle!

Soon, Room Ten, which had been quite active with the previous two items, started bidding again. Their first bid raised the auction price to two thousand Purple Crystal Coins.

Because each increase required a hundred Purple Crystal Coins, the pace of increase slowed down after surpassing two thousand. However, slowing down did not mean it stopped; the price continued to steadily rise.

Soon, the price of the Substitute Lotus Seed surpassed that of the second item, the Ice Sealed Throne, reaching an astonishing two thousand six hundred Purple Crystal Coins. It was at this point that the bidding truly began to slow down.

The bidders participating in the auction were almost all from the top echelons of the Monster Clan and Spirit Clan; everyone knew very well what the item was worth.

The Substitute Lotus Seed, this item, had already far exceeded its actual value at two thousand six hundred Purple Crystal Coins.

“Two thousand seven hundred!” Room Ten raised the price again, setting the new highest bid.

With this bid, the audience fell into a brief silence.

The Dragon Clan, this was a bid from the Dragon Clan. One could imagine how terrifying the power a Great Demon King from the Dragon Clan could unleash if they fully ignited their bloodline.

“Two thousand eight hundred!” Room Six, positioned even closer to the front, placed a bid. This was their first bid of the day.

Tang San had already investigated the composition of each VIP room; Room Six was from Sky-breaking City, home to the Behemoth Clan. Previously, the owner of Sky-breaking City had personally visited Jiali City and had proposed to Pretty Girl, who had rejected him then. His timely bidding now was probably not just to compete for the Substitute Lotus Seed but also to prevent the Dragon Clan from obtaining it.

“Three thousand!” At this moment, Room Two also placed a bid.

Room Two, Sun City Lord, patriarch of the Sunflower Spirit Clan of the One Branch, one of the top Great Demon Kings. Also, a clansman of the Tianyang Spirit King.

Apart from the Emperor’s VIP room, the first among these city lords’ VIP rooms was Heavenly Fox City, where Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox resided, followed by Sun City, then Dark Moon City, and in fourth place, Phoenix City.

By now, even Sun City had made a move, underlining the high importance placed on this auction item. It wasn’t just about money or the item itself anymore. This was a matter of strategic significance; even if not for personal use, one must not let the opponent acquire it.

After crossing three thousand, Tang San, who had initially been about to press the button, stopped. It wasn’t that the Blue Golden Tree Clan lacked the capability; in terms of resources, Tang San was absolutely confident in competing against any race, as the foundation of the Blue Golden Tree Clan in Purple Crystal Coins was profoundly deep. The key question was whether it was necessary and meaningful to compete with the others.

Moreover, competing for such strategic resources, if the Blue Golden Tree Clan made a move and eventually succeeded, then, how would these strong races, which did not originally consider him a competitor, view the Blue Golden Tree Clan? They would certainly start paying attention. What should you do after buying the Substitute Lotus Seed? Compete for the throne of the Emperor?

Therefore, Tang San did not rush to make a move but instead fell into deep thought.
