Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 984 - 982: Securing the Bridal Gifts
In an instant, the bids were substantially increased, even those of tens of thousands of Purple Crystal Coins continued to be placed. A simple calculation would reveal that the Blue Gold Tree Clan was no longer merely spending the profits from the sale of Blue Gold Fruits; this was their foundational wealth.
Many strong races have always retained their competitive strength for the final few premium auction items. Everyone knows that the items placed at the end are the real treasures, and might even be crucial in determining rankings in the battle for Emperorship; thus, they have all gathered their full energy. Indeed, the fifth item from the last once presented was a top-tier existence. Then, what about the ones that follow it? Wouldn't they be even more exceptional?
Twenty thousand Purple Crystal Coins; this could certainly be described as an astronomical figure.
Upon hearing this bid, Pretty Girl in VIP Room Number Eleven, despite the indications from the Peacock princess beside her that they could continue bidding as Jiali City had the means, decided to give up. She was the Lord of a City, the patriarch of the Peacock Demon Clan; she could not deplete her race's savings for personal desires. Although Jiali City's Spirit Rhinoceros Commerce was wealthy, she could not be too selfish.
In this regard, Tang San faced no psychological pressure, as the money being spent was not his own.
"Twenty thousand Purple Crystal Coins. VIP Room No.8. Does anyone offer a higher bid?" Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox on stage said with a faint smile. He had expected the final few items to fetch sky-high prices, but to see the Blessing Life Necklace reaching such a level was surprising, and the auction wasn't even over yet.
This necklace was indeed something he desired, to pass on to future generations. But it all depended on its value. Twenty thousand Purple Crystal Coins could buy how many regular divine tools? The greatest power of the Blessing Life Necklace lay in its ability to allow mutual teleportation and life-sharing. However, it wasn't something that could definitely make someone become an Emperor, so there was a certain value range. Twenty thousand was already the upper limit of the valuation given by Ancestral Court before.
"Twenty-one thousand Purple Crystal Coins, Room Six," the Behemoth Clan surprisingly seemed set on winning the bid, continuing even after a twenty-thousand bid.
"Twenty-five thousand Purple Crystal Coins, VIP Room No.8."
The crowd was once again astonished. Since when were Purple Crystal Coins so worthless? Bidding in increments of five thousand? For a moment, the bidders had a completely new understanding of the Blue Gold Tree Clan's wealth. This didn't look like a strategy to hike up the price; such high increments weren't normal, and if the bid was successful, the payment was due. Nobody dared to cause trouble in such a grand auction, which meant that at least the Blue Gold Tree Clan must be capable of producing this sum to participate in the bidding.
"Twenty-five thousand Purple Crystal Coins, are there higher bids?" Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox also showed his surprise and while issuing another inquiry, he involuntarily looked in the direction of VIP Room No.8.
Tang San sat very calmly inside the VIP room, determined to get the necklace regardless of the cost. Little Beauty, this time, no matter what, I will not let you leave me again.
As for his bidding, the Elders didn't offer any opinions; in fact, they were somewhat excited. In their view, the Blue Gold Tree Clan needed this divine tool! The biggest difference between Tang San and the other Main City Lords was that he was relatively young and had only recently assumed the role of patriarch, also the Blue Gold Tree Clan was known for their longevity. If he could establish an equal life-contract with a strong individual, it would greatly enhance his own survivability, and thus, lead the Blue Gold Tree Clan to greater heights in the future.
Is twenty-five thousand expensive? For the Blue Gold Tree Clan, it's affordable.
"If there is no higher bid, then for twenty-five thousand Purple Crystal Coins, going once," Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox began the countdown.
Inside VIP Room Six, Lan Moqian from the Behemoth Clan was fuming, clenching her fists tightly. Just before the auction of this item started, the Great Demon Emperor of Sky-breaking City had communicated to them that they could try bidding; if they could secure the auction item within twenty-five thousand Purple Crystal Coins, they should go for it, for Lan Moqian and Ning Chenen's use.
Following the orders of the Great Demon Emperor of Sky-breaking City, Jin Anguo, the patriarch of the Behemoth Clan, and the Owner of Sky-breaking City dared not oppose. They could only participate in the bidding, but now that the price had reached twenty-five thousand Purple Crystal Coins, they would not continue bidding. After all, although Lan Moqian was related well to him, being his cousin, the idea of such a high price not being for himself made him somewhat unwilling. In this battle for Emperorship, couldn't he himself be determined to win? Who doesn't want to become an Emperor?
"Twenty-five thousand Purple Crystal Coins, for the second time."
"Twenty-five thousand Purple Crystal Coins, for the third time. All right, the Blessing Life Necklace belongs to VIP Room No.8."
With the hammer falling, the auction ended. Tang San successfully acquired the divine tool, which held extraordinary significance for him.
Silently retracting his divine consciousness, Tang San's lips curled into a faint smile. In order to prevent being detected by the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox, he had even utilized the power of godhood to quietly probe the Blessing Life Necklace with his divine consciousness just now.
He had to be certain of the extent of the contract that could be born from this necklace. It was only after confirming that the power of the contract contained a trace of the law of the universe that he became determined to acquire it. Inclusion of the law of the universe meant that even God King tier beings would be affected by its contractual effects. That was enough.

Tang San had no plans to use this necklace with Pretty Girl right now, as it wasn't the right time. If given to her now, their relationship would be exposed, and he could no longer hide his identity as the Clan Leader of the Blue Gold Tree Tribe from Pretty Girl. It would be used later.
The twenty-five thousand Purple Crystal Coins had taken the bidding at this superb auction to a new height, undeniably filling all the bidders with even greater expectation for the upcoming auction items.
There are still four top-tier auction items to appear. Until now, all the strong races have been holding back, just waiting for the final burst.
Without a doubt, these last five highlight items could all directly influence the grand battle for dominion to some extent. The later the item, the greater its influence should be.
"Next, please bring out our second highlight auction item," announced the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox on stage.
A gentle white halo slowly rose from beneath the auction stage. The halo didn't stop directly on the stage but ascended gradually, hovering in mid-air after rising about ten meters.
It was a child who looked like a human, yes, alive. Seemingly carved from jade, the child appeared to be around two or three years old in size, yet already looked somewhat like an adult. It was a little girl, dressed in a delicate outfit, radiating a soft golden glow all over her body. In her hand, she held a wand that resembled green jade. Behind her were six transparent wings gently flapping.
As soon as she appeared, she flapped her wings vigorously, trying to soar even higher into the sky, but she seemed to be restricted by some power and couldn't fly away. For a moment, the sky seemed infused with a breath of freshness.
There was obvious anger on her face as she waved the green staff in her hand. Ripples of milky-white haloes emanated from her body, making the lights on the auction stage a few shades brighter.
This is...
Upon seeing this being, the venue immediately became noisy as most of the bidders didn't recognize what it was. That certainly couldn't be a human, for humans don't have wings and wouldn't have such a small body resembling an adult's form.
