Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 986 - 984: Bead of Misfortune
Another question in his mind is how much money does the Blue Golden Tree Clan actually have. They had already spent so much before, can they still spend ninety thousand this time? Being able to participate in the bidding meant they must definitely have that much money. No one would dare to create chaos in this situation where all the Emperors were present. Even the City Lord couldn't afford such a responsibility.
"Ninety-one thousand Purple Crystal Coins for the first time." Perhaps because he sensed that the Light Dragon King, Xu Anyu, was about to go mad, the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox quickly started the final countdown.
At this time, sitting in VIP Room No.3, the leaders of the Phoenix Demon Clan looked at one another, their expressions somewhat strange.
They naturally knew the importance of the light element spirit to the Dragon Clan, and they would not let Xu Anyu win it easily; hence, they had prepared to join in right from the start of the auction, or rather, to cause interference.

Yet before they could start, they realized they could no longer participate.
In the previous auctions, they had also acquired quite a few good items, and the entire monetary reserve of the Phoenix Demon Clan was left with only ninety thousand Purple Crystal Coins. In other words, Xu Anyu's final bid had exceeded all that they had left. Of course, they also believed that, after completing this auction, the Dragon Clan would be completely stripped of their competitiveness for the subsequent three items.
Ninety-one thousand, a figure they had never dared to imagine before! Yet, it was forced out. Their good impression of the Blue Golden Tree Clan had greatly increased, provided that the latter did not compete with them for the later items.
"Ninety-one thousand Purple Crystal Coins for the second time!"
"Ninety-one thousand Purple Crystal Coins for the third time!"
"Sold! To the Tenth VIP Room."
Only at the moment of the final hammer did Xu Anyu's body relax, he sighed and sat back in his original seat, his chest visibly heaving, and the redness in his eyes gradually fading.
"Big brother, after the auction ends, I'm going to kill that bastard," the Fire Dragon King said fiercely.
Almost all the strong members of the Dragon Clan present were furious. Ninety-one thousand! This had almost drained the resources of the Dragon Clan.
Xu Anyu, a bit weary, closed his eyes and waved his hand, saying, "Let it go. Do you really think other races would let us get the light element spirit so easily? Without the Blue Golden Tree Clan's involvement, others wouldn't have let us get it easily either, and other races would have bid as well. The Blue Golden Tree Clan's bid had some rationale; the light element spirit is indeed useful for them."
Tang Mohuang couldn't help but say, "Big brother, why are you still speaking for him?"
Xu Anyu reopened his eyes, a strong light flickering in them, "Shut up, what do you know? For us, nothing is more important than securing an Emperor's position. Compared to that, everything else is trivial. The Blue Golden Tree Clan should not be underestimated, just their financial power is already beyond most main cities. Moreover, the Blue Golden Tree Clan has expressed their intention to remain neutral; they've proposed to station clan members above King level in all main cities to refine and consolidate life force. This is also very meaningful for our clan, more important than a moment of pride and anger. Jin Miaolin is not just an ordinary being, in the future, he might very well preside over the Ancestral Court. If he becomes an Emperor, his future achievements could be comparable to the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox. The auction is originally a fair competition; we, the Dragon Clan, are the strongest race on the continent, should we still plunder forcefully? How would we stand firm then? How to fulfill the legacy of the Crystal Princess and reclaim the highest position?"
Hearing its words, the Dragon Clan powerhouses present gradually calmed down. After all, the light element spirit had finally been obtained. They all knew Xu Anyu's strength, and with the addition of the light element spirit, ascending to the Emperor's throne was almost guaranteed. Indeed, it wasn't the time to stir up new troubles.
VIP Room No.8.
"Brother, we're just giving up like this? We're not short of money, and that light element spirit is so adorable!" Jin Miaosen said, somewhat unwilling to let it go.
Tang San smiled and said, "If we really had won the bid, the Dragon Clan would likely come to our door. Haven't you noticed how determined they were to get it? Besides, I managed to secure Crystal City's support for our clan's neutrality. That's enough. They've also paid a significant price, and we will withdraw from competing for the next items."
The Great Elder nodded beside him, saying, "Indeed, the Dragon Clan is not to be offended excessively, but it's truly a pity. That was a light element spirit! An element spirit of that kind might not be born even in ten thousand years, and it was a rare match for our race. In a sense, the Tree Ancestor was originally the essence of the life element spirit, and eventually took root to form its body."
Regarding the Great Elder's words, Tang San wasn't surprised. In this dimension, void of the Divine Realm, any element spirit could be considered the most favored existence in its plane, and possessing great achievements was perfectly normal.
Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox withdrew the light element spirit, and the lighting of the auction house returned to its prior state. After these two headline auction items, the heat in the entire venue had reached its peak. Even though the true participants in the bidding for this light element spirit were just the two parties, the onlookers were still filled with surging enthusiasm. The bids incrementing by tens of thousands of Purple Crystal Coins, perhaps this was a once-in-a-lifetime event?
Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox, wearing a smile, said, "Frankly, I too didn't expect the final price of the light element spirit to reach so high. However, congratulations to Tenth VIP Room for ultimately securing it. I believe you will find it well worth the value."
Paying ninety thousand Purple Crystal Coins for an Emperor level existence did indeed seem quite worth it.
"Next, we are going to enter the bidding for the last three items. Let's reveal the third-to-last item." As he spoke, Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox waved his hand, and a white light burst forth from him, enveloping the entire auction platform—something not even done for the previous light element spirit.
Immediately after, something pitch-black like ink, resembling a mist, rose from below.
The instant it appeared, the entire auction stage seemed to resound with ghostly wails and wolf howls, and the weaker contestants even felt a bit dizzy and nauseous, their bodies trembling.
The black mist appeared and began to dart violently, fiercely trying to break through the barrier set up by Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox. But obviously, it was in vain.
Yet this entity even attempted to attack Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox, the black mist forming into a horrifying ghostly face, opening its large mouth to bite at Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox, but it quickly disintegrated. When it touched the white light surrounding Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox, it even let out a scream-like sound, causing the auction participants to feel a shock to their divine souls.
Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox's voice then resonated throughout the venue, "This is a very dangerous auction item. We put it up for auction after careful consideration. This item was brought back from the Polluted Yellow Sea by three Emperors together. My Heavenly Fox Clan, for many years, has been gathering luck for the Continent, but it's undeniable that because this luck is concentrated on our Monster Clan and Spirit Clan, the dimension has spawned many opposing entities. The inverse of luck is misfortune. And what you see before you is a Spirit of Misfortune born in the Polluted Yellow Sea. This Spirit of Misfortune is extremely powerful, already possessing the strength at the Emperor Level. Once it latches onto someone, it devours their luck until death. We took it back originally to refine it, to purify this misfortune. But unexpectedly, this Spirit of Misfortune is very consolidated, unless we significantly expend the luck of Demon Monster Land, it cannot be completely purified. After careful research, we disseminated the spirit's spiritual consciousness, retaining only its instinct. And we sealed it within a Bead of Misfortune. By using this Bead of Misfortune, one can activate this misfortune. Once the Bead of Misfortune acknowledges its master, then, the misfortune can be wielded by the user to attack enemies. Of course, this misfortune attack cannot exert Emperor Level power, but it is also an existence at the top tier of Great Demon Kings, equivalent to a powerhouse comparable to our Great Demon King of the Heavenly Fox Clan, but only capable of imposing misfortune."
