Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

There was no doubt that the skeleton of this Star Moon Earth Dragon was valuable, but at the great auction in Jiali City, such items, although present, were definitely among the latter good finds. Yet at the Ancestral Court auction, it was merely used as a door-opening item.

Did Tang San want it? He did want it! The resentment emanating from the bones suggested that its spirituality was not lost, and it probably hadn\'t been dead for too long, so the bone marrow within its bones should be able to refine a good amount of blood essence. However, a price of five hundred Elemental Coins was already too expensive, and the blood essence of the Star Moon Earth Dragon was not essential to him.

Soon, the bidding began!

Not just Tang San recognized that the skeleton of this Star Moon Earth Dragon was a good find, there were certainly no shortage of discerning eyes among the bidders. The bidding price rapidly escalated.

Six hundred, six fifty, seven hundred, seven fifty...

In the end, this Star Moon Earth Dragon skeleton was sold at the high price of nine hundred Elemental Coins, prompting admiration for the wealth of the Ancestral Court.

The massive skeleton could be used to refine and make armor, refine blood essence, and if used properly, a profit of at least double was definitely in reach, but this required sufficient confidence in crafting and refining. Without question, the Star Moon Earth Dragon skeleton was bought by a large commercial firm, as only they had the confidence to maximize its value.

This single auction item made Tang San realize that finding a bargain here wouldn\'t be easy. While there were many good items available, the prices were also very transparent, and all those who came to participate in the auction were discerning. To find a bargain among these would be extremely difficult.

"The second auction item is something I believe will interest everyone even more. This spiritual item comes from the Rihchen Empire. Named Sunset Fruit, there are a total of nine. Sunset Fruits can stimulate latent potential, allowing the consumer\'s latent potential to be fully stimulated in an instant, unleashing an attack at twice the level of their own cultivation base. Although one will immediately enter a weakened state after use, the aura from the Sunset Fruit ensures no damage to one\'s foundation. It is a Divine Object for protection for those below deity level. As the saying goes, having a Sunset Fruit is like having an extra life. Remember, though, that as wonderful as Sunset Fruits are, your own cultivation base is still more important. After using a Sunset Fruit, one cannot use another for seven days."

What a treasure! Tang San clenched his fists subconsciously. With his current cultivation base, if he could suddenly double his burst strength, he would definitely be comparable to a ninth-stage peak. Unfortunately, the Sunset Fruit was only effective for those below the god level. Naturally, if it weren\'t for this restriction, the item wouldn\'t be a spiritual item but a Divine Object. Imagine, a Great Demon Emperor or a Heavenly Spirit Emperor being able to instantly unleash two hundred percent of their power—what a terrifying prospect that would be.

Moreover, this was a set of nine, which, whether for self-preservation or for desperate struggles, was definitely a great thing.

Of course, the value of such an exceptional item was certainly not low.

The starting bid was six hundred Elemental Coins! However, compared to the previous Star Moon Earth Dragon skeleton, Tang San felt that this item was even more worthwhile, its greatest advantage being that it was not restricted to any race, with any species able to consume it for effect.

And the auction\'s reality also affirmed Tang San\'s view. After the bidding started, within just a few short minutes, the price for these nine Sunset Fruits had doubled, and it was still climbing steadily.

The Golden Lion Auctioneer continually called out new prices, his face adorned with a rich smile. Good items are always in demand, and here, treasures never struggle to find a buyer. This is why many merchants are willing to bring their precious items to the Ancestral Court for auction. Despite the higher commission taken by the Ancestral Court, the chances of treasures remaining overlooked here were extremely low.

Zhang Haoxuan sent a message to Tang San, asking him if he wanted to secure these Sunset Fruits, which could be quite useful for their Shrek squad. However, Tang San declined.

They were too expensive. Although the fruits were of good quality, they were not indispensable. With the group battles in the Grand Animal Fighting Arena already over, Tang San preferred to keep his companions\' actions low-key for the time being. They wouldn\'t necessarily need these Sunset Fruits. In a few years, everyone should be able to strive towards the Ninth Stage. Once at the peak of the Ninth Stage, the value of the Sunset Fruits would be nonexistent. His primary goal this time was suitable blood essence, which would undoubtedly be very expensive to bid for. Good steel must be used on the edge of the blade.

In the end, the nine Sunset Fruits were taken down for the steep price of 1,800 Elemental Coins, a sum that was surely jaw-dropping.

Spiritual items included not only natural treasures but also weapons and equipment, provided they met the criteria of being \'spiritual.\'

The third item to be brought up for auction was a weapon.

Generally speaking, armor is rarely seen at auctions because the various shapes and sizes of the Spirit Monster and Monster tribes mean that armor is typically only suitable for one Race rather than all. Weapons, by contrast, have a much broader appeal, making them far more valuable than armor.

It was a sword, a Heavy Sword, its length a full four meters—clearly not intended for smaller-statured Races. The blade was uniformly dark gold and half a meter wide, resembling nothing so much as a door panel.

When this Heavy Sword was brought forward, the eyes of the Golden Lion Auctioneer responsible for the bidding betrayed his strong desire to possess it.

"This Heavy Sword has a resonant name, the God-killing Sword. Under its edge, nine God-rank strong individuals have fallen, including one Great Demon King. Its previous owner was the former patriarch of our tribe. It has ended up here because our patriarch was defeated by his opponent and lost the sword. Today, it appears at this auction. With special approval from the Ancestral Court, there is a condition for bidding: the holder must, within ten years, challenge and defeat the Great Demon King who defeated our patriarch—in a fight to the death! Only members of our Lion Clan or the Tiger Clan may participate in the bidding. After consultation between our two clans, whoever possesses this sword and defeats the formidable enemy will be the patriarch."

There was no doubt this was a special auction item. It was not aimed at all bidders but only at the real Lion and Tiger Clans, and it was clearly targeted at the two great Golden Families. It was meant to motivate the younger generation; obtaining this Heavy Sword would also mean assuming the important responsibility of avenging the former patriarch.

The bidders from the three mountain peaks remained calm. For other Races, it was naturally enough just to watch the drama unfold. But for the Lion and Tiger Clans, this was undoubtedly a matter of great importance.

To be able to defeat the patriarch of the Golden Lion Clan, though not a Great Demon Emperor, would certainly be among the top ranks of those at Demon King Level. The peak of rank 11!

The patriarch of the Golden Lion Clan was also at the peak of rank 11, and even equipped with the God-killing Sword which was almost no different from a divine tool, he had been defeated by his opponent and had even lost his weapon—such was the power of the adversary. How challenging it would be to defeat such an opponent?

The Lion and Tiger Clans were branches of the same family; clearly, this adversary was a formidable enemy for both clans. The fact that today\'s auctioneer was this Golden Lion was very likely related to this matter.
