Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

Luck is a part of strength, and nowhere is this adage more fitting than for the Heavenly Fox Clan. On Demon Monster Land, luck really is a force to be reckoned with. The Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox is today's strongest being in the world, thanks to his control over the Power of Luck, the one who speaks for the Ancestral Court.

This time at the super auction, this individual actually offered a drop of his own blood essence. Its value is immeasurable. This is undoubtedly a treasure.

Many strong contenders for the throne of Emperor, upon seeing this drop of blood essence, even found their breathing becoming heavier. To obtain it—putting aside one's own strength for the moment—the mere bonus effect could be as much as twenty or thirty percent.

"The starting bid is five hundred Purple Crystal Coins. Each increase must be no less than one hundred Purple Crystal Coins. Let us begin now." The starting price was very fair; as a drop of the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox's blood essence obviously could not compare with divine tools, hence, the starting bid of five hundred was quite normal. However, the issue is that the rarity of this item can't be compared with divine tools. Lavish sums may yield divine tools, but where would one find the drop of blood essence of a top-level Emperor like the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox? And one that bears his Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox Power of Luck at that.

Thus, it is rare, and all the more critical in the forthcoming battle for the throne. Therefore, how high its value will reach will be determined by the forthcoming bidding.

"One thousand Purple Crystal Coins, Room Six," the bidding began.

"One thousand one hundred Purple Crystal Coins, VIP Room No.3."

"One thousand two hundred Purple Crystal Coins, Tenth VIP Room."

...

One bid after another appeared rapidly, almoust overwhelming in their frequency, with almost all coming from the various VIP rooms. There were also some bids without VIP room mentions, peppered in amongst them, but relative to others, these were much less and quickly overwhelmed by new bids.

"Two thousand one hundred Purple Crystal Coins, Room Six," the price soared rapidly, quickly surpassing two thousand Purple Crystal Coins. This was already the value of a divine tool. Was it worth it? To all those participating in the bidding, it was absolutely worth it.

"Five thousand Purple Crystal Coins, VIP Room No.8!" Just then, a terrifying price was called out.

The whole venue fell quiet in an instant, as nearly all eyes turned in the direction of VIP Room No.8.

Here he comes again.

Earlier, during the auction of the Shadow Demon Sword, it was VIP Room No.8 that had directly raised the price to five thousand Purple Crystal Coins, before Pretty Girl bid five thousand one hundred to secure it. Now, once again, a bid of five thousand Purple Crystal Coins.

The blood essence of the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox was certainly precious, but a price of five thousand Purple Crystal Coins was indeed exaggerated. This was the price of two divine tools.

But no one would doubt whether the owner of VIP Room No.8 had the means; after all, yesterday, they openly sold five Blue Gold Fruits. That's over twenty thousand Purple Crystal Coins! Money to burn!

As to whether he's a shill for the Grand Ancestral Auction House, no one knows. But at this moment, the strong beings from the various VIP rooms couldn't help grinding their teeth in frustration.

Five thousand. To follow or not to follow? If they followed, and the other party gave up, it would mean winning a drop of blood essence at such a high price.

It should be known, how much did the Seven-colored Deer Great Demon King's blood essence sell for back then? While the blood essence of the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox is certainly more precious, it shouldn't fetch a price ten or a hundred times higher.

So there was silence throughout the venue, and in the next moment, clamorous discussions arose.

"VIP Room No.8 bids five thousand Purple Crystal Coins. Is there any higher offer?" The Soul-Stealing Heavenly Spirit King only now spoke for the first time during the bidding of this item.

As an Emperor, he obviously liked Tang San's way of auctioning. The Grand Ancestral Auction House was backed by all the Emperors of the Ancestral Court, and the profits of each year were distributed among them. Therefore, this time the Emperors also took advantage of the super auction event to bring out good stuff, all in order to make a fortune.

But five thousand Purple Crystal Coins for a drop of blood essence was still too exaggerated. The Soul-Stealing Heavenly Spirit King even thought about taking out some of his own blood right now; even if it was only half the price of the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox's, it would still be nice! His blood essence was also very beneficial for the enhancement of Spiritual Power.

"Is there anyone else wishing to continue bidding?" The Soul-Stealing Heavenly Spirit King asked once again.

No, no one continued to bid. The price of five thousand was indeed too high, having doubled the previous offer all at once. With the precedent set by Pretty Girl, everyone subconsciously thought that whoever bids five thousand and one at this time would be a fool. VIP Room No.8 would surely give up.

Therefore, no one wanted to be that fool, and the price of five thousand was thus settled. Another important reason was, if this drop of Power of Luck blood fell into the hands of the Dragon Clan, the Phoenix Demon Clan, and the Behemoth Clan would definitely compete fiercely. And vice versa. However, it landing in the hands of a weak, trash race like the Blue Golden Tree Clan with no competitive power seemed meaningless. Even with the favor of Luck, what could the Blue Golden Tree Clan do? Let them take it then; it wasn't going to stir up any waves.

At such a time, this drop of blood essence that represented Luck falling into the hands of Tang San was a situation acceptable to all the strong figures present. Thus, ultimately the item was settled at a price of five thousand Purple Crystal Coins.

"Five thousand Purple Crystal Coins, VIP Room No.8, sold!"

The hammer fell, and the deal was closed. Tang San successfully acquired the drop of blood essence from the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox.

Was this price worth it? Maybe not for others, but for Tang San, it was absolutely worthwhile.

When he saw this auction item appear, he even almost laughed out loud. Isn't this just like someone bringing you a pillow when you're sleepy!

Tang San had long been considering, if he were to ascend to the rank of Emperor in the future, how could he continue to enhance his Spirit Rhinoceros Eye? With the blood essence of the Seven-colored Deer Great Demon King, it completed the evolution of the Spirit Rhinoceros Eye, turning it into a Super Bloodline level existence. But to further enhance it during the breakthrough to Emperor rank, the top-level Power of the Heavenly Fox Clan was indispensable. However, he didn't dare to approach the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox, as it was too easy to be discovered. The Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox had a very keen perception of Luck and could easily spot his problem.

But now, the problem was solved. A drop of blood essence from the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox was even more valuable to Tang San than the Lucky Lotus Seed, which contained the Dimensional Luck Power, because after all, the Lucky Lotus Seed didn't contain bloodline power, yet the blood essence of the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox did! With this drop of blood essence, he could evolve his Spirit Rhinoceros Eye to the level of a Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox in the future.

So, don't talk about five thousand Purple Crystal Coins; even if it were ten thousand, Tang San would certainly secure it.

Five thousand, success directly! Tang San quickly understood why no one else continued to compete with him. Sometimes, having a weaker background isn't such a bad thing.

The Soul-Stealing Heavenly Spirit King on the stage at the moment was in high spirits. He was presiding over this auction, and the first item was sold for the high price of five thousand Purple Crystal Coins. Although it did not exceed the five thousand one hundred of yesterday, it was almost the same. And, there were still many good items to come!

As for Tang San's high bid for this auction item, the elders of the Blue Golden Tree Clan had no objections. Not to mention the fact that Tang San had earned so much money yesterday, which already amazed them greatly. Moreover, they originally intended to let Tang San arm himself as much as possible through the auction, trying to see if he could make a performance in the upcoming combat for Emperor rank. Increasing Luck was naturally also a part of strengthening power, so acquiring it was beyond reproach. Even if there was a premium, the item was definitely good.

"Present the second auction item." The Soul-Stealing Heavenly Spirit King first collected the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox's blood essence, and the golden cloud in the air also dissipated. The second auction item followed close behind, rising on the platform and presented before all the bidders.

This was a radiant golden Long Spear, radiating a rich aura of Light. Both ends of the spear had points, and down the long central shaft, there seemed to be a flow of golden light surging and rising, emitting a dazzling brilliance. The golden glow faintly took the shape of a dragon, quite extraordinary.

Seeing this Long Spear, Tang San couldn't help but be stunned. Because it was too similar to the weapon used by his daughter and son in his previous life.
