Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

"One thousand Elemental Coins!" The Blue Fox Auctioneer\'s voice obviously contained a hint of astonishment; a sudden significant increase in bidding often signifies the bidder\'s determination to win, causing other participants to back down, recognizing the difficulty of competing.

"One thousand and ten Elemental Coins." After a brief pause, another bidder continued to make an offer.

"One thousand one hundred Elemental Coins," he added another hundred directly.

This time, the entire venue grew quiet. The Golden Winged Roc\'s blood essence was indeed valuable, considered quite good among Level 2 Bloodlines, but this was only from a Ninth Stage Golden Winged Roc, not of divine rank. The price of one thousand one hundred Elemental Coins had already exceeded its intrinsic value. Nearly all bidders possessed avian bloodlines, and the true Golden Winged Roc Clan had no need for their own clansmen\'s blood essence.

In the end, the gavel fell at one thousand one hundred Elemental Coins!

Zhang Haoxuan\'s breathing was slightly rapid, but when he truly secured the item, he felt somewhat relieved. At last, they had acquired what was truly their first item of the day, an item of great significance. This meant that Cheng Zicheng\'s path to advancement had also been opened. But the cost was enormous.

How powerful was the purchasing strength of one thousand one hundred Elemental Coins—a small clan\'s annual income was about the same.

Zhang Haoxuan and Tang San had gathered a total of three thousand Elemental Coins this time, which was the result of Zhang Haoxuan selling Array Plates, combined with Tang San\'s personal savings and the advance payment from the Spirit Rhinoceros Commerce Center after supplying them with Array Plates.

Three thousand Elemental Coins; before coming to the auction, both Tang San and Zhang Haoxuan thought it was a substantial amount. The Redemption Organization couldn\'t earn this much in a year. But after obtaining just one auction item, they had already spent more than one third, leaving them with only nineteen hundred Elemental Coins.

Despite the significant expenses, at this moment, Tang San\'s expression was one of contentment. His goal in coming to the Ancestral Court this time was to at least give two of his partners a chance to enhance their bloodlines. Now, he had not only achieved but exceeded this task.

Through Hell\'s Garden, both he and Du Bai had advanced their Heavenly Fox Transformation to the Seventh Stage, an unexpected boon. And now, both Gu Li and Cheng Zicheng\'s bloodline enhancements were assured. The mission had been completed beyond expectations. Moreover, his divine consciousness had increased by more than a third, and he had also obtained the insignia of three Great Demon Emperors. If it weren\'t for the potential trouble brought by the Crystal Great Demon Emperor\'s gift, the trip could be deemed perfect.

The remaining nineteen hundred Elemental Coins might not be enough to purchase a clearly valuable item that everyone could appreciate. They could only hope for the chance to pick up a bargain.

And the next good item that appeared was indeed one that made Tang San\'s eyes turn green with envy.

It is rare for blood essence to be auctioned; when it appears, it continues in succession.

The second item of the afternoon was still blood essence, but this time it was not from the Monster Race but from the Spirit Monster Race.

"The next item up for auction is ten drops of peak Ninth Stage Earth Spirit Tree blood essence. As everyone knows, in the Rihchen Empire, the Earth Spirit Tree is a Level 2 Bloodline, but its characteristics are not even found in Level 1 Bloodlines. The Earth Spirit Tree\'s innate ability is spirit communication, which enables it to connect with any plant, earning it the title of spirit messenger in the Rihchen Empire. The Earth Spirit Tree\'s blood essence can be absorbed directly to enhance the strength of similar bloodlines. It can also be used as a spirit messenger, with each drop of Earth Spirit Tree blood essence granted one chance to communicate with divine botanicals. There\'s no need to elaborate on the benefits. The starting price is one thousand Elemental Coins."

Spirit communication, spirit messaging?

Upon hearing the Blue Fox Auctioneer\'s description, Tang San almost instantly felt envious. The reason was simple; his current Bluesilver Emperor was at about a Level 3 Bloodline, not very strong. One of the issues was the lack of Aura, far from being the plant king.

In his previous life, his Bluesilver Emperor could communicate with all plants, borrowing the power of all plants to assist itself. It was the true king of the plant world.

```

In this world, it evidently was very difficult to achieve this since the Spirit Monsters themselves were too powerful. Nonetheless, if he could endow the Bluesilver Emperor with a powerful aura, then, using the memories of his past life, he would be able to exert abilities akin to a domain. By doing so, it would be enough to be considered as having a Second Level Bloodline.

```

```

But when the starting bid for the Earth Spirit Tree was announced, Tang San knew he couldn\'t win it. He didn\'t have enough money.

```

```

If he went all in, perhaps there would still be a chance. But that also meant he would have to give up bidding on the other rare treasures later on.

```

```

It really is a case of not appreciating money until it\'s needed!

```

```

Tang San clenched his fists, Earth Spirit Tree, Earth Spirit Tree! He etched the name deeply into his memory. Although he couldn\'t win it this time, he could think of a way to request this type of bloodline from the Spirit Rhinoceros Commerce Association, and of course, the reason would be to create an Array Plate.

```

```

The blood essence of the Earth Spirit Tree was eventually sold at a high price of two thousand nine hundred Elemental Coins, and with two types of blood essence put on the auction, the grand event was once again whipped into a climax.

```

```

Fortunately, the third item up for auction wasn\'t essential for Tang San; otherwise, he really would have spat out blood from frustration.

```

```

Even though he had known it was impossible to acquire every good thing, to actually face such a situation still left him feeling somewhat unwilling.

```

```

Tang San laughed wryly at himself and continued to watch the auction.

```

```

The next few items up for auction were all pricey, but they weren\'t truly top-tier.

```

```

After that, items of God Level finally started to appear.

```

```

The first were materials of God Rank: bones, skin, sinew—the parts from Demon Kings and Spirit Kings started to emerge one after another. Becoming a God Rank was something that could be achieved by Monsters or Spirit Monsters, and for their body parts to appear at an auction, naturally meant that these God Level Demon Kings or Spirit Kings didn\'t belong to powerful races; otherwise, those who brought these items to auction would need to weigh their significance carefully.

```

```

Of course, these were all treasures, particularly for forging weapons and equipment or as materials for crafting divine tools. But for these, Tang San\'s interest was limited.

```

```

It would have been a different story if it were the tail of the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox. However, the body parts of a Great Demon Emperor of this level appearing at an auction would probably only be possible on the final Divine Object bidding day.

```

```

As dusk descended, the bidding for the day finally neared its end. The successive climaxes of bidding not only emptied the participants\' wallets but also resulted in a certain degree of mental exhaustion.

```

```

Even those who had spent all their money did not choose to leave; usually, they would stay for the entire three days of the auction. After all, this was an event that happened only twice a year, and with so much deposit paid to enter, even if they were out of money, it was still worth watching, to broaden one\'s horizons.

```

```

"The next items are the last three of the day, and they are the finale of today\'s auction. Bidders with sufficient strength should get ready," announced the auctioneer, still from the Blue Fox Clan, but a different one, equally stunning.

```

```

The mention of the last three items instantly revitalized the many participants who had come to bid that day. They all knew that anything that could serve as the finale over the three days had to be the most elite treasures. These were items that could only possibly be seen at the Grand Auction of the Ancestral Court. The records for highest bids were also usually set during these moments.

```

```

The level of the spiritual item bidding day was roughly on par with the rare treasures bidding day. Although it wasn\'t as high as the final Divine Object bidding day, being the finale, the quality was likely at the level of Divine Objects.

```

```

Tang San involuntarily straightened his posture, anticipating the arrival of these last three grand items up for bid.

```

```

A bidding cart was slowly pushed into the Grand Animal Fighting Arena. The moment the cart entered the arena, Tang San distinctly felt that the overwhelming aura of misfortune and the scent of slaughter that filled the entire arena seemed to fade a bit, as if dimmed.
