Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

Zhang Haoxuan said, "I\'ve converted it all into Elemental Coins, which are easier to use. A total of one thousand and twenty Elemental Coins."

Tang San gasped, "That much?"

Tang San didn\'t know exactly how many Winged Tigers Zhang Haoxuan had hunted. He only knew about the King of Winged Tigers. Now it seemed, his teacher, the town\'s Elder, must have hunted quite a few adult Winged Tigers, if not wiping them out entirely! No wonder it took him so long to return.

Zhang Haoxuan said, "Mainly because the Ninth-stage Winged Tigers are quite valuable."

More than a thousand Elemental Coins, that was definitely a huge sum of money. The purchasing power of Elemental Coins was extremely strong. Tang San was very clear about this. Even among the Monsters, the common currencies used were the Spirit Rhinoceros Coin and Monster Coin. Only great nobles used Elemental Coins. Over a thousand Elemental Coins could already be exchanged for top-level currency.

"When are we going to the auction?" Tang San asked.

Zhang Haoxuan said, "In six more days, there will be a grand auction in Jiali City. It\'s held only once every three months and it\'s the highest level auction. I\'ll take you there. Think ahead about what kind of things you want, so we can target our efforts when we\'re there."

Tang San said, "I don\'t really want anything for myself. Teacher, this time let\'s try to buy some items that can enhance cultivation for Brother Du Bai, Sister Chengzi, and Senior Brother Gu Li. To help them break through as quickly as possible."

"Hmm?" Zhang Haoxuan was stunned, obviously not expecting Tang San to say that.

Tang San said, "Of course, we\'ll also look around for anything I need and naturally buy it. Don\'t forget, their advancement in cultivation is equivalent to mine. I\'ve already made up my mind, to wait until I raise all of my Demon God Transformation Imprints to the Sixth-stage Peak before breaking through, which will be more secure."

Zhang Haoxuan said, "That makes sense. Your cultivation method is truly unique, and you have to figure everything out on your own, so nothing is more important than safety. You can never be too careful. And there\'s no need to rush at your young age. Reaching the Sixth-stage Peak at your age is already quite exceptional. I support your plan."

Even after Zhang Haoxuan left, Tang San couldn\'t help but be shaken by the thought of those more than a thousand Elemental Coins.

There were certainly many good items in the Jiali Academy\'s store, but under the premise of not arousing suspicion, he couldn\'t take anything away, and he had to be very careful even to borrow them for cultivation, to avoid killing the goose that laid the golden eggs.

And more than a thousand Elemental Coins, that was a tangible and immense fortune! If that money were invested in their cultivation, one could imagine how much it would help.

The idea of spending money to accelerate cultivation was indeed quite appealing. His brothers and sisters were in luck.

Lately, the food in the academy had noticeably improved, frequently including Demon Beast Meat and bone broths. This had a lot to do with the hunting expeditions. As a result, the pace of advancement for all the students in the academy was increasing.

In addition to cultivating and being Sweeper Li Tang, Tang San continued to craft his hidden weapons. The fusion of hidden weapons and magic arrays, along with the integration of the features of Demon God Transformation, had led to many new ideas for Tang San, especially after the last expedition.

Different Demon God Transformations matched with different hidden weapons had different effects.

For example, the hidden weapons that suited the Heavenly Fox Transformation were those with immense power but relatively simple.

The biggest problem with simple yet powerful hidden weapons was that they\'re easy to dodge. However, with the blessing of Luck from the Heavenly Fox Eye, dodging them becomes impossible. Combined, they could maximize the destructive power of the hidden weapons.

The Golden Peng Transformation, Time Variation Seal, and Ice Spirit Change all have unique hidden weapons suited for them.

Tang San was conducting research in this manner, continuously improving the magic arrays on the hidden weapons and the weapons themselves, and he recently gained some insights.

The Pretty Girl has been keeping a low profile lately, and no one knows what she\'s been up to. Tang San rarely saw her, which made him a bit anxious. Since their conversation a month ago, they hadn\'t spoken again.

Six days passed in the blink of an eye.

The grand auction in Jiali City, held once every three months, is one of the grandest events in the city. Whenever the grand auction takes place, not only do the great monster families of Jiali City participate, but nobles from several nearby main cities also attend.

The focus of auctions in different regions varies. After all, the origins of natural treasures differ from place to place.

Jiali City, being closer to the coast, produces some treasures unique to the Endless Blue Ocean. Therefore, to obtain such treasures, attending the Jiali City auction is the easiest way.

The Jiali City grand auction is held in the Grand Animal Fighting Arena, which is the largest venue in Jiali City.

This Grand Animal Fighting Arena is usually used for demon beast fights. One of the greatest pleasures of the nobles is to gamble on beast fights as a form of competition.

The entire Grand Animal Fighting Arena in Jiali City can accommodate ten thousand Monsters to watch the fights. Naturally, it\'s perfect for holding an auction. The more people there are to participate in the bidding, the higher the price of the auction items tends to be.

Whenever the grand auction is held, the prices within Jiali City soar, which causes the nobles with various industries to earn a killing.

Early in the morning, the area around the Grand Animal Fighting Arena is already bustling. A large number of Monsters with the qualifications to auction are flocking here.

Outside the Grand Animal Fighting Arena, there are various shops and temporary stalls, creating a somewhat chaotic scene. They sell not only food but also auction catalogs, slaves, and so on.

Tang San followed Zhang Haoxuan closely, walking on the edge of the street.

Today, only the two of them, master and disciple from Redemption Academy, came to attend the auction.

The status of human vassals is low, and they are normally not allowed to participate in auctions. Tang San didn\'t know where Zhang Haoxuan had obtained the qualification to auction. They also disguised themselves to look like the Ape Clan Demon, the closest in appearance to humans.

From a distance, they could see the majestic Grand Animal Fighting Arena. The giant arena itself exuded a fierce and imposing aura. From afar, it looked like a huge beast lying there.

Zhang Haoxuan said in a low voice, "The Animal Fighting Arena is the favorite entertainment venue for the Monsters. Not only do they let demon beasts fight for bets here, they even personally enter the fights to bet. The Monsters are warlike, and strength is the only standard for measuring status. A Monster that can defeat a strong opponent in the Grand Animal Fighting Arena will be heavily rewarded and obtain a higher status. The nobles among the Monsters are usually inherited through bloodline, and those races with powerful bloodlines are naturally nobles. For ordinary Monsters to become nobles, the only way is to participate in beast fights at the Grand Animal Fighting Arena. If you can win ten consecutive fights in such a main city-level arena, you can qualify for nobility."

Tang San\'s heart stirred, "What about us, the human vassals? Can we also participate in the fights and obtain noble status?"

Zhang Haoxuan said, "In theory, yes, but you need to win a hundred consecutive fights."

"A hundred fights?" Tang San\'s mouth twitched slightly.
