Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

Chapter 958: Chapter 956 55,0005

After saying that, he bowed deeply to the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor once again before returning to his VIP Room No.8.

In VIP Room Number Eleven, Pretty Girl looked at the crystal screen in front of her, her eyes reflecting a hint of confusion.

In the previous auctions, she had not participated because she hadn’t found the right items yet. The Peacock Demon Clan was wealthy, but today’s bidding prices for the treasures were somewhat exaggerated; she needed to save her money for the best items.

Did she want the Blue Gold Fruit? Of course, she did! Who wouldn’t want such a treasure that could significantly enhance life force and be used directly in battle? But the price was just too high. Five thousand Purple Crystal Coins, that was indeed a terrifying figure. With that purchasing power, she could buy an entire small city.

The speech just now by the new Clan Leader of the Blue Gold Tree sounded passionate, but Pretty Girl somehow felt it was familiar. The convincing tone seemed strangely reminiscent.

“He really knows how to talk. This new Clan Leader of the Blue Gold Tree Clan is no simple character!” The Peacock princess coldly said, “Five thousand Purple Crystal Coins already, yet he talks about not wanting to see the price climb further. Who was it that raised the bid to three thousand directly? He then throws in four more, yet doesn’t mention how rarity affects the value itself. What a big profiteer! Five pieces mean twenty-five thousand Purple Crystal Coins. That amount could buy a top-tier divine tool later.”

Su Qin smiled lightly and said, “It is said that the Blue Gold Tree Clan has recently risen and gained momentum in the Rihchen Empire. Especially after the Tree Ancestor defeated a Heavenly Spirit Emperor, now all major races are trying to get on their good side, including the Tianyu Empire. Didn’t you hear what he just said? He himself hasn’t produced any Blue Gold Fruits yet. That statement was meant for Emperors. What if he becomes an Emperor and then produces Blue Gold Fruits? What would their value be? Who could resist? He is positioning himself as a critical resource that even Emperors would compete for.”

At this moment, Tang San, who had just returned to VIP Room No.8, almost immediately encountered an angry divine consciousness, “What happened to ‘only Heaven and Earth and you and I shall know’?”

The Tianyang Spirit King was truly angry! He had only just cautioned Tang San, yet Tang San’s words had openly revealed his situation. This could undeniably attract the covetous look of other Emperors!

However, Tang San pretended to be shocked, “Ah? Is that what you meant? I thought you were referring to my promise to give you the first Blue Gold Fruit I produce. After I become an Emperor, whether I produce Blue Gold Fruits is still my business, right? I didn’t say I would produce them! But actually, I plan to go into seclusion immediately to nurture the Blue Gold Fruits and then present them to you as a surprise. I thought that was the ‘only Heaven and Earth and you and I shall know’ we were talking about. Your Highness, please calm down, my mistake.”

Tianyang Spirit King: “…”

“Your Highness, you still have to help me; let me take advantage of this occasion to sell a few more at high prices. You should quickly agree with what I just proposed to the Fierce Sunflower Essence Clan.”

“Hmph! Two, don’t forget.” The Tianyang Spirit King grunted angrily, and Tang San could sense a slightly disgruntled tone in his voice.

He had dared to speak like that, obviously having figured out how to deal with this Emperor beforehand, naturally not fearing his reproach.

“As for the proposal just made by the Clan Leader of the Blue Gold Tree, do the various VIP rooms participating in the auction agree? If not, we will continue the auction,” the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor said gravely.

“Room Two agrees.” From the Fierce Sunflower Essence Clan, a voice rang out immediately.

Following that, “Room One agrees!”

“Room Four agrees!”

“Room Six agrees!”

“Room Ten agrees!”

All five participating VIP rooms agreed. Thus, the auction for this item came to an end. Tang San, by raising the price with one Blue Gold Fruit, ended up selling five, while actually giving up six. Undoubtedly, this sale had been hugely profitable for the Blue Gold Tree Clan. Normally, a Great Spirit King level Blue Gold Fruit selling for fifteen hundred was already considered a very good price.

At this moment, in VIP Room No.8, the elders of the Blue Gold Tree Clan were all excitedly dancing and waving, their blue spikes shaking violently behind them.

Tang San had just spent over six thousand, and now he had earned back twenty-five thousand Purple Crystal Coins in an instant. Earning such a high amount was simply insane! They couldn’t help but be filled with admiration for their patriarch.

Could the occupants of the other VIP rooms not see Tang San’s scheme? Of course not. They were all backed by Emperors, who couldn’t see through this little trick? But why did they agree in the end? The reason is simple; they were unwilling to offend a Clan Leader of the Blue Gold Tree Tribe who could potentially produce the extremely rare Emperor Level Blue Gold Fruit in the future if he ascended to Emperor status!

Although they could only imagine the value of such high-level Blue Gold Fruit now. However, as the Tree Ancestor was the source of life for the entire plane, once it’s direct bloodline reached the Emperor Level, the value of the Blue Gold Fruits it would produce is imaginable.

It was precisely because Tang San grasped this mentality that he was able to succeed in one fell swoop and make a huge profit. It was a clear case of daylight robbery, and yet they had to accept it.

The auction continued. Tang San had already let the Great Elder take the four Blue Gold Fruits to the main auction venue to ensure the completion of this transaction.

With three moves, each made all the bidders take notice. Unbeknownst to all, Tang San, the new Clan Leader of the Blue Gold Tree Clan, had already become the center of attention.

However, Tang San didn’t care. He was just playing a role.

This was also his way of laying the groundwork for his future ascension to Emperor. Such top-level resources were extremely desirable for Emperors, but only if he truly became a resource of that level.

The proposal of neutrality of Tang San’s Blue Gold Tree Clan had not yet been collectively discussed by the high-level officials of the Ancestral Court, and it was also a negotiation and consideration between the two great empires. After the martial arts recruitment festival ended, there would definitely be a decision.

The auction continued. The next items up for bid were also very impressive. The bidding frenzy surged one wave after another. Yet, Tang San again held back from bidding, quietly observing the other bidders.

Room Ten was the most frequent bidder among all the VIP rooms, securing many valuable items. The other VIP rooms were relatively calm. After all, for the major cities and top-tier bloodline races, they all had ample heritage and did not necessarily have to obtain something from this auction to be confident to attend the martial arts recruitment festival.

On the other hand, the smaller races participating in the auction spared no effort in depleting their racial heritage to arm their clansmen of rank 11 for the upcoming competitions.

The competition was fierce. Almost all the auction items were sold for at least double the price. Such prices could indeed be described as terrifying. Naturally, the biggest beneficiary was the Ancestral Court.

Soon, half a day had passed. Next was an hour of rest and adjustment. During this time, one cannot leave the main auction venue but can move around within it to eat, drink, and relieve themselves. After an hour, the auction would continue.

The advantage of the VIP rooms was fully exhibited; each one had a separate activity area guarded by the Ancestral Court’s escorts, allowing the powerful beings inside to move around. They also enjoyed ample food and drink, without needing to compete with ordinary bidders for restrooms.

Tang San left VIP Room No. 8, with the elders following him, guarding around Room No. 8 on their own.

Tang San stretched his body, as the sky had gradually darkened; evening was approaching. There would be another round of auctions in the night, which would last until late, followed by rest on site. The night’s rest would be about three hours long. The auction would continue in the morning, consistently for three days. This was definitely a bit torturous for those confined to small spaces.

At this time, the elders of the Blue Gold Tree Clan were preparing dinner. Only Jin Miaosen stayed by Tang San’s side.

Just then, a voice came from not far away, “Chief Jin, I wonder if we could have a talk?”

Tang San looked towards the source of the voice, it was Xu Anyu, the Light Dragon King with a sunny smile, from VIP Room Number Ten, directly adjacent to his own.
