Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 968 - 966: Securing at a Sky-High Price
"Bro, is this thing really useful?" Jin Miaosen couldn’t help but ask. Eleven thousand Purple Crystal Coins, that’s quite a sum, though we made a lot yesterday. But isn’t this spending a bit too fierce?
Tang San smiled slightly and said, "Let me ask you, what do trees need to grow? Sunlight and water, right? Isn’t light the best nourishment for us? And that Light Dragon Spear can also enhance my power. I learned some spear techniques while I was out for training, and they’re quite good. Just so happens that I’m lacking a weapon for the upcoming competition, and I think this Dragon Lance suits me well."
"As long as you think it’s good." Jin Miaosen said with a grin. After all, the money was just earned yesterday. When he saw that several Blue Gold Fruits were sold for tens of thousands of Purple Crystal Coins yesterday, he was already thoroughly convinced. Others may not know how Blue Gold Fruits come about and what they need, but how could he not know? Even though he isn’t rank 11.
"Eleven thousand one hundred Purple Crystal Coins, Tenth VIP Room." Xu Anyu bid again.
Tang San pressed the number twelve thousand with utmost calmness.

At this moment, Jingjing’s voice came from within him, and she couldn’t help but comment, "Dad, you’re doing this on purpose, right? Just because he was flirting with Pretty Girl?"
"Right! What about it? Feeling sorry for your disciple?" Tang San said with a chuckle.
"Dad, I didn’t expect you to be so petty-minded. This Light Dragon Spear is very important to the Light Dragon Clan. If you really buy it, I’m afraid it will cause quite some trouble," said the Crystal Great Demon Emperor.
Tang San smiled and said, "No worries, I’ve got you. Why would the Dragon Clan trouble me? I can be petty about other things, but not when it comes to Little Beauty."
Yes, he is indeed a man who is extremely petty when it comes to his emotions, and also prone to jealousy!
In the Tenth VIP Room, Xu Anyu grabbed Tang Mohuang, who was about to rush out, although he was so angry that his breathing became heavy, reason still prevailed. How could he aspire to become the City Lord of Crystal City if he was to act impulsively before all these Emperors?
Twelve thousand, it’s twelve thousand now. This has completely exceeded his budget.
"Continue to bid, Brother An Yu. I can lend you the money first," Sun Honghao suddenly said.
Xu Anyu was stunned for a moment. Sun Honghao didn’t lend him money when he was bidding for the Ice Sealed Throne. He didn’t expect that Sun Honghao would offer help in a critical moment.
Taking a deep breath, he finally shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "I can’t be that selfish. This money isn’t mine alone, it belongs to the Light Dragon Clan. Though we all wish to take back this divine tool, if we continue to bid, it just wouldn’t be worth it. Forget it, I give up."
He really wanted to continue bidding, to use the several thousand Purple Crystal Coins offered by Sun Honghao, giving him a competitive edge. But is it really good for the Light Dragon Clan to win this divine tool at an exorbitant price? Especially if he still couldn’t win in the battle for the position of Emperor under such circumstances, he might never get the chance to become an Emperor. He would face immense pressure within the Dragon Clan.
At the critical moment, reason overcame emotion, and he gave up with great reluctance.
"Twelve thousand Purple Crystal Coins, any more bids?" The Soul-Stealing Spirit King on stage was also filled with shock at this point.
This isn’t just driving up the price! They really want to get this divine tool! This Jin Miaolin from the Blue Golden Tree Clan is fierce!
If others believe that the Diamond Elf King died at the hands of the Tree Ancestor, then he, who was actually present at the scene, didn’t see it that way.
Before Tang San engaged in combat with the Diamond Elf King, Jin Miaolin appeared very calm. And indeed, in the subsequent confrontation, it was the Tree Ancestor’s projection that arrived, bringing a vast amount of life force. But the Soul-Stealing Spirit King knew the Diamond Elf King very well. In its powerful divine consciousness, that life force, despite being colossal, should not normally be enough to kill the Diamond Elf King.
Yet the outcome was clear for all to see—the Diamond Elf King had fallen. Therefore, aside from the Tree Ancestor’s power, could it be that Jin Miaolin is that straightforward?
Narrowing his eyes slightly, the Soul-Stealing Spirit King suddenly felt that perhaps, this patriarch of the Blue Golden Tree Clan really was going all out in this battle for the throne, aiming to secure a spot. Just considering financial power, through selling those few Blue Gold Fruits, the Blue Golden Tree Clan certainly amassed great wealth!
"Twelve thousand Purple Crystal Coins, for the first time."
"Twelve thousand Purple Crystal Coins, for the second time."
"Twelve thousand Purple Crystal Coins, for the third time. Sold!"
After three calls, the final bid for the Light Dragon Spear was twelve thousand Purple Crystal Coins, a hefty sum that caused an uproar throughout the venue when it was bought by VIP Room No.8. Two consecutive auction items were sold at sky-high prices, with the buyer being the same person. How could this not stir the crowd into a frenzy?
Although the Blue Golden Tree Clan made purchases yesterday, it paled in comparison to today. They only bought the Ice Sealed Throne and the Substitute Lotus Seed, but the sum of those two does not match the price of today’s single item at all! Seventeen thousand Purple Crystal Coins were spent in direct costs. Adding yesterday’s expenditure, it felt as if the money from selling the Blue Gold Fruits was nearly depleted.
"Present the third auction item." The Soul-Stealing Spirit King’s mood was rather complicated, while the atmosphere in the Tenth VIP Room had turned sour.
Xu Anyu’s face was ashen as he sat there. The moment the final gavel was struck, he felt as if he had suffered a tremendous blow, with his insides feeling utterly hollowed out.
He had put so much effort into bringing the Light Dragon Spear to auction, only for it to be sniped by someone else. It was nothing short of a disgrace.
"Big brother, shall we..." Tang Mohuang moved closer to him, his eyes filled with a fierce light, murderously intent.
Xu Anyu glanced at him coldly and said, "This is the Grand Ancestral Auction House. And he is the Lord of a City. Do you know how many Emperors are watching over him? Don’t talk nonsense without any intelligence."
Tang Mohuang insisted, "Are we just going to let it go? Just watch as we’re humiliated by that lowlife? Is the Blue Golden Tree Clan really that rich? Wasn’t it said that the sold Blue Gold Fruits couldn’t be recovered in many years? Then why did he spend all the money at once?"
Sun Honghao sneered, "You believe whatever they tell you? The Blue Gold Fruits are indeed valuable, but the idea that there are no more after they’re sold—I don’t buy it. The Blue Golden Tree Clan is likely up to something serious. However, Brother Xu is right; they must have the support of Emperors behind them, otherwise, I don’t believe he would dare to offend us like that."
Xu Anyu took a deep breath, allowed his complexion to return to normal, and said indifferently, "Let’s see how things unfold. The auction isn’t over yet. Without the Light Dragon Spear, it doesn’t necessarily affect me much."
Inside VIP Room No.8, Jin Miaosen was extremely excited. Although there were some hesitations about Tang San’s bidding for the Light Dragon Spear, having won it over the Dragon Clan, he felt a sense of triumph. When had the Blue Golden Tree Clan ever been so prestigious?
The other Elders had no objections to Tang San’s actions. They had indeed come here planning to support Tang San with all they had. Tang San’s successful report at the Ancestral Court and his formal position as the Jianmu City Lord meant that the primary mission was accomplished. How could they not see that the Blue Golden Tree Clan could only be revitalized in Tang San’s hands after these days?
The auction continued, and the third item, while still a premium object, was somewhat less impressive compared to the first two. It was a suit of armor adaptable to any body shape, offering formidable defensive power.
Naturally, Tang San had no interest in it, letting other bidders fight over it. The auction went on, with various precious treasures continuously appearing. Perhaps impacted by Tang San’s aggressive bidding on the two items earlier, even the marked-up prices on this second day of the auction exceeded those of the first, making the Grand Ancestral Auction House positively bustling.
