Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

Chapter 955: Chapter 953: Substitute Lotus Seed Takes Over

“Three thousand three hundred Purple Crystal Coins, VIP Room No. 4.” The auction staff announced another new highest bid.

Phoenix City also made a move, even though they knew that the Substitute Lotus Seed was of no use to the Undying Fire Phoenix.

The Phoenix Demon Clan already has two Emperors, theoretically, having another Emperor is not that crucial. However, it is very crucial for the Phoenix Demon Clan to prevent the Dragon Clan from gaining another Emperor, and they must make an effort to achieve this.

Thus, the Phoenix Demon Clan joined the fray for the Substitute Lotus Seed.

“Three thousand four hundred Purple Crystal Coins, Tenth VIP Room.” The Dragon Clan bid again, showing their determination to win.

And it seems that other Monster and Spirit Clans coincidentally stopped bidding, not continuing any further.

At the current price, it has already exceeded the true value of the Substitute Lotus Seed by more than double. Tang San even suspected that the Tianyang Great Demon Emperor must have something similar, as after all, the origin of this item is the Rihchen Empire. This clearly seems like watching a fight from the sidelines. Having spent too much in earlier auctions, they would obviously have to give up a lot in the upcoming ones.

“Raise the bid for them, and if you really win it, I will compensate you,” just then, a faint yet very clear fluctuation of mind passed through Tang San’s mind.

No need to think, Tang San knew whose divine consciousness this was. A very familiar presence, isn’t it just the Tianyang Spirit King whom he just thought of?

Compensation? This is indeed a commanded auction. A smirk formed at the corner of Tang San’s mouth; this is exactly what he had been waiting for.

Other Emperors might not know the strength of the Blue Gold Tree Clan, but Tang San believes that as the ruler of the Rihchen Empire, the Tianyang Spirit King definitely knows. Therefore, Tang San did not rush to bid for the Substitute Lotus Seed himself; he was waiting for the Tianyang Spirit King. This kind of situation is appropriate for causing trouble for the Demon Race, aligning with the interests of the Rihchen Empire. There are three positions for Emperors, and this time the Rihchen Empire will definitely strive to secure two.

“Four thousand Purple Crystal Coins, VIP Room No.8!” The bidding voice suddenly soared. With this price, VIP Room No.8 undoubtedly became the center of attention.

While the Dragon Clan and Phoenix Demon Clan were competing, VIP Room No.8 made another bid, shooting the price up so dramatically. This was definitely intentional! Who is in VIP Room No.8?

The Blue Gold Tree Clan? The race that isn’t adept at fighting? How dare they? Oh, the Tree Ancestor just showed its power by killing an Emperor, then it’s fine…

Discussions erupted everywhere, the price of four thousand Purple Crystal Coins truly shocked everyone, tripling the inherent value of the Substitute Lotus Seed.

Both the Dragon Clan and Phoenix Demon Clan hesitated at this price. The Substitute Lotus Seed might be good, but not to the extent that it cannot be forsaken, four thousand Purple Crystal Coins is a bit too high.

Time ticked by, and the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor on stage had started the countdown.

“Four thousand Purple Crystal Coins, for the first time!”

“Four thousand Purple Crystal Coins, for the second time!”

“Four thousand one hundred Purple Crystal Coins. VIP Room No.10.” The Dragon Clan finally made another move.

The importance of the Substitute Lotus Seed to the Dragon Clan was evidently incomparable to that of the Phoenix Demon Clan. This time, however, the Phoenix Demon Clan remained silent. For them, the Substitute Lotus Seed was of little use; spending this item to significantly drain the financial resources of the Dragon Clan was also a sound choice.

Even the Tianyang Spirit King was quite satisfied. Letting the Dragon Clan spend so many Purple Crystal Coins would surely have a substantial impact on the later part of the auction.

Unexpectedly, a new bid emerged, “Four thousand two hundred Purple Crystal Coins, VIP Room No.8.”

Tang San still wore a smile, as he entered this new bid.

He and Pretty Girl might have no use for the Substitute Lotus Seed, but it wouldn’t be good if it fell into the hands of his opponents. And just because it’s not useful for them, doesn’t mean it’s not useful for someone else!

Tianyang Spirit King had already made it clear if he actually won the bid, he would be compensated. So what was Tang San hesitant about? This was an order from the Tianyang Spirit King, and the compensation would at least be half the total price. Then what was there for him to worry about?

The Blue Gold Tree Clan Elders by his side also showed a usual expression, as they were hoping for Tang San to secure this auction item, which they considered very meaningful.

Ultimately, the Dragon Clan did not continue bidding. Inside VIP Room No.10, Xu Anyu’s face looked extremely unpleasant at that moment. Although the Dragon Clan was wealthy, Xu Anyu knew of more precious items yet to come in the auction, which he was determined to obtain; they couldn’t afford to overspend in the early stage. Four thousand two hundred was already way beyond the Dragon Clan’s budget.

This Substitute Lotus Seed was something Xu Anyu intended to purchase for himself. Despite the majority of the Dragon Clan in Crystal City being supportive of him, each Dragon with differing interests couldn’t allocate all funds to him, and while the Light Dragon Clan was indeed the wealthiest, even their wealth had its limits.

“Four thousand two hundred Purple Crystal Coins for the first time, Four thousand two hundred Purple Crystal Coins for the second time, Four thousand two hundred Purple Crystal Coins for the third time, sold. Congratulations to VIP Room No.8.”

After announcing the final transaction, even the gaze of the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor involuntarily lingered a while longer on VIP Room No.8. Among the first three auctioned items, VIP Room No.8 had secured two. The cumulative spending had exceeded six thousand Purple Crystal Coins! That truly was a colossal price.

Tang San was not in a hurry, what is depth of resources? The storage ring in his hand containing over a million Purple Crystal Coins was his base. Just over six thousand, what was that? This was the depth of the Blue Gold Tree Clan.

The auction continued, and as the fourth item was presented, all the bidders felt a sense of relief, for the value of this item was significantly lower compared to the previous three. Truly, not everything can be at the divine tool level.

But even so, it remained a very precious item—a Longsword, with quite a high starting price of two hundred Purple Crystal Coins.

The bidding continued fervently, with numerous participants involved. However, the major VIP rooms stopped their bidding as this level of item wasn’t worth their intervention.

Tang San’s face carried a faint smile; he was not worried at all. The first two items had satisfied him. Besides, the Blue Gold Tree Clan’s money wasn’t his, was it? Moreover, the path he paved for the Blue Gold Tree Clan was much more important than these coins. Once the Tree Ancestor’s brilliance spread across the entire continent becoming the life core of all cities, it would greatly benefit the concentration of life force in the whole plane. After all, too much Luck had already been gathered in Demon Monster Land. As for what sort of consequences this accelerated pace might lead to, Tang San didn’t know, but this was exactly what he, a proponent of acceleration, wanted to see. You want to gather Luck? Then I will help elevate it to the highest level, to a degree that even the laws of the universe cannot tolerate. By then, when prosperity turns to decline, the ruling Monster Clan and Spirit Clan might not be able to continue controlling the whole world, allowing humans a real chance.
