Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

"VIP Room Number Eleven bids 5,100 Purple Crystal Coins." Pretty Girl continued to raise her bid to assert her stance.

Inside VIP Room No.8, Tang San felt somewhat helpless, but even more gratified. You really live up to your name!

The other party in Room Six did not continue to bid. After all, a price of 5,100 had vastly exceeded the inherent value of the Shadow Demon Sword.

Naturally, Tang San would not continue to bid either.

"5,100 Purple Crystal Coins for the first time!"

"5,100 Purple Crystal Coins for the second time."

"5,100 Purple Crystal Coins for the third time, sold. Congratulations to VIP Room Number Eleven." The Mammoth Great Demon Emperor also felt a bit incredulous when announcing the final auction result.

How could such a divine tool fetch such a price?

The Peacock Demon Clan must be rich! But shelling out over 5,000 Purple Crystal Coins in one go must have dealt a major blow to their finances, right?

Right now, Pretty Girl's complexion was indeed a bit unsightly. She had to secure the Shadow Demon Sword no matter what. With a cold snort, she bitterly said, "Jin Miaolin of the Blue Golden Tree Clan, you just wait. Don't let me run into you in the competition."

In VIP Room No.8, Tang San touched his nose in resignation, and sitting beside him, Jin Miaosen whispered, "Bro, did the Ancestral Court specifically send you here to act as a shill? You have to be careful not to offend too many people. Don't you also want her to be my sister-in-law? It seems tough for you this time."

"I really wanted to gift it to her," Tang San said helplessly.

Jin Miaosen chuckled and said, "Gifts won't do the trick. After all, if you can't win the martial contest for marriage, it's hopeless. You might as well look for another sister-in-law; you definitely have no chance with Pretty Girl. If there wasn't this martial contest, maybe we could've had a shot if we splurged with money. But with the competition, sigh, brother, you need to face reality."

Although Tang San knew that what Jin Miaosen said sounded quite reasonable judging from Jin Miaolin's situation, why did it still feel so uncomfortable to hear?

5,100 Purple Crystal Coins; this was a new climax. The fervor of the whole venue was aroused once again. They had just rested and were in their best state for bidding.

"The next auction item," the Mammoth Great Demon Emperor announced in a deep voice.

The previous Shadow Demon Sword sank away and disappeared. A new platform slowly rose, presenting a new auction item.

"Originating from the Diamond Elf Clan, this is the Diamond Heart Mirror, a defensive piece of equipment. Although it is not a divine tool, the protection it provides for the covered area is comparable to the defense power of Artifact-level items. It can also enhance the overall defensive power of the body by at least twenty percent. When activated with bloodline power, it adds a Diamond Shield layer on the skin's surface."

It looked like a crystalline existence, emitting a soft glow—half of a spherical shape, indeed resembling a heart-protecting mirror, although quite large.

"The starting bid is 300 Purple Crystal Coins with each increment no less than ten Purple Crystal Coins. Let the bidding begin."

Upon hearing this starting price, for some reason, many bidders felt like they could breathe a sigh of relief. At last, it was not such an exceedingly precious item. If it were always like that, their hearts might not be able to take it.

"310 Purple Crystal Coins!" The bidding started.

As for such an item, Tang San naturally had little interest in it. A single part's defense is relatively more significant for warriors who mainly rely on their bodies for combat. The piece from the Diamond Elf Clan was indeed quite good. However, it still wasn't significant enough to warrant his attention.

In the end, the Diamond Heart Mirror was auctioned off at a high price of six hundred Purple Crystal Coins.

Subsequent items were all weapons and equipment that could somewhat rival divine tools in certain aspects, and these were very practical and useful for those in need; they quickly found buyers.

The Mammoth Great Demon Emperor gave minimal introduction, only briefly describing the basic characteristics of the items. But the uniqueness of this auction was irresistible! Almost every item was of exquisite quality, and they came at a time when they were in urgent demand, so the bidding was determined, commanding quite high prices.

Tang San realized through his divine consciousness that most of the emperors had already left the VIP rooms on the upper level once the second round of the auction started that evening. From this, he deduced that there likely weren't any major items in this round. After observing the bidding for a while, he began to meditate in his room. There was nothing particularly appealing for him.

The only item that somewhat surprised him was that Shadow Demon Sword. It was capable of triggering the Asura God's Sword, an artifact of a level that was definitely extraordinary. Even if it wasn't a super divine weapon, it would be related to one, but it seemed the emperors didn't value it much—obviously unaware of its specific function. Of course, it was precisely for this reason that Tang San and Pretty Girl were able to pick up a bargain.

The auction continued late into the night. All the bidders were tired, and most chose to meditate and rest in their seats to wait for the next day's auction to begin.

The VIP rooms offered much better facilities, at least a place to wash up, as well as plenty of food and water. After a day of auctions, Tang San's primary gains were the Ice Sealed Throne and two Substitute Lotus Seeds, items he had no use for. Nevertheless, the money provided by the Blue Golden Tree Clan not only didn't decrease but actually increased. After all, he had sold so many Blue Gold Fruits for the sky-high price of thirty thousand Purple Crystal Coins. He even felt that he wouldn't be able to spend all this money even if he tried at the auction.

A night passed without incident. Early the next morning, the Grand Ancestral Auction House was already bustling. After all, it was packed with people, and the entire place became noisy before the auction started.

However, according to the rules, it was also time for yesterday's bidders to go and settle their accounts and collect their items.

Settling accounts daily was a rule established by the Grand Ancestral Auction House for this event.

Tang San simply washed up and then proceeded to the transaction area of the Grand Ancestral Auction House, accompanied by several Elders of the Great Demon King Level. Even though this was the Grand Ancestral Auction House, before the emperors arrived, no one could guarantee that there wouldn't be any problems. The Shadow Demon Clan and other thieving races were everywhere, and now there were too many good items in the auction house. While the items were in the hands of the auction house, their safety was the auction house's responsibility, but once the transaction was completed, it became the holders' concern, and the auction house would not be responsible. Therefore, even Tang San was very careful and cautious.

Tang San chose a later time to pay and collect the items to avoid queuing. The VIP room bidders had a special place to retrieve their items and pay, separate from the general bidders.

When he arrived at the settlement area of the Grand Ancestral Auction House, he saw two groups of people in line, one of which was Pretty Girl.

At that moment, Pretty Girl was accompanied by her mother and stepmother, as well as two Great Demon King Level powerhouses of the Peacock Demon Clan. Their lineup was quite impressive.

Besides them, the other group was the powerhouses from Room Six of the Behemoth Clan.

The Owner of Sky-breaking City, Jin Anguo, along with Lan Moqian and several Behemoth Clan powerhouses were also there. They were in line in front of the Peacock Demon Clan and had just collected their auction items, running into Pretty Girl and her group.

Lan Moqian's gaze fell on Pretty Girl, and her eyes instantly turned a few degrees colder, "Your Peacock Demon Clan doesn't have an Emperor, but you seem to have plenty of money."

Pretty Girl glanced at her, obviously understanding why she was being provocative, and simply smiled, "Our Jiali City is located on the frontier, how could it compare with Sky-breaking City?"

Lan Moqian chuckled and said, "You should be careful at the upcoming martial competition. It'd be embarrassing if one of the top three female champions chooses you."

Pretty Girl smiled slightly and replied, "Are you referring to yourself? I'm afraid that's unlikely."

Lan Moqian's eyebrows raised, "You're quite confident, aren't you?"
