Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 973 - 971: Blind Auction? Seven-Colored Gemstone

Tang San's smile deepened a bit more, but there was not a trace of amusement within his divine consciousness, an impenetrable cloak even to the Tianyang Spirit King.

The second night passed, and the auction entered its final day. Undoubtedly, it would be the most critical day.

When the Emperor responsible for today's auction appeared on the stage, all the bidders couldn't help but inhale sharply. Because this was no other than the strongest in the Rihchen Empire, the naturally-groomed Tianyang Spirit King himself.

His visage remained somewhat ethereal, his true appearance unclear, but his aura, as compelling as the blazing sun, dominated the entire venue.

Tianyang Spirit King stood on the auction stage and said indifferently: "Today's auction will be hosted by myself and the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox. You should understand the importance we place on today's grand auction. Yesterday, some petty thieves attacked the bidders, which we are aware of. I now truly hope for their audacity to reappear. Today, fewer items will be auctioned than in the past two days, and the event will not take as long. Each half will feature ten auction items. What I can tell you is that all of today's twenty items possess powers at least equivalent to artifact level and are treasures long cherished by Ancestral Court."

As soon as he appeared on the auction stage, he had already garnered the attention of all the bidders, undeniably more invigorating than anything else. The most powerful Spirit Monster Emperor acting as the auctioneer, could there be any greater emphasis than this?

Twenty items on par with divine artifacts? Throughout the history of the Ancestral Court, and perhaps even the entire Demon Monster Land, such an event is truly unprecedented! This undoubtedly signifies the level of this auction.

"Present today's first auction item," said Tianyang Spirit King solemnly. For some reason, he seemed to glance towards the VIP rooms.

Tang San, currently in VIP Room No.8, instantly felt a divine consciousness connection and unconsciously twitched the corners of his mouth.

The first auction item gradually ascended, its gentle seven-colored halo giving a marvelously unique sensation. It was a gemstone roughly the size of a fist. Yes, just a gemstone. The gem emitted a strange brilliance, the light itself was not intense, but the splendid seven colors resembled a condensed rainbow.

The gentle halo did not disperse outward, hence, the bidders couldn't sense its true essence. The only thing they could see was its vibrant multitude of colors.

Tianyang Spirit King indifferently said, "Today's first auction item will be sold in an interesting manner. You all have been here for two days and must be somewhat weary. Therefore, we will use a blind bid for this item. You will bid without sensing its energy and without any introduction. The starting bid is one Purple Crystal Coin, and the highest bidder wins. As for its function, you can guess. Now, let the bidding start, increase the price at will."

Is that capricious?

A blind bid?

For a moment, all the bidders were somewhat dumbfounded. In such an important auction, and after the Tianyang Spirit King had already announced that all of today's twenty items were at least equivalent to artifacts, to have a blind bid with no introduction and energy being sealed?

How would one bid, even one Purple Crystal Coin is significant! Especially not knowing the function of this gem comparable to a divine artifact. If it's just rare and aesthetically pleasing, that could be a big problem.

Even some veteran powerhouses did not recognize the purpose of this gem. Suddenly, the entire venue plunged into noisy discussions.

"Five thousand Purple Crystal Coins, from VIP Room No.8." The first bid appeared at this time.

The bid, incredibly, came from the Blue Golden Tree Clan's VIP Room. Of course, that was Tang San.

Before the bidding for this item started, Tang San had received a divine consciousness from Tianyang Spirit King, who only said one sentence, "I must be sufficiently respected."

Is paying a lot of money not just about giving face? Blind bids require shills, and there's always a bottom line.

Tang San did not hesitate and made a move immediately. Yesterday, the Tianyang Spirit King supported him, and today he came directly to return the favor. What choice did he have? He was just a member of the Blue Golden Tree Clan.

So, he placed a bid right away.

Five thousand? Are you crazy?

When this price appeared, the entire venue was in an uproar. Almost all eyes were fixated on VIP Room No.8. Even the Tianyang Spirit King did not expect Tang San to give face so resolutely.

After all, this was a blind bid, and everyone was unaware of what the item was. Moreover, as he had just said, it was at least equivalent to a divine tool, which is not the same as a real divine tool. Who could be sure that this wasn't the lowest quality? And if it wasn't the lowest, why have a blind bid?

The value of an ordinary divine tool under normal circumstances would barely reach one thousand Purple Crystal Coins. A better one might cost two or three thousand. To reach the price of five thousand Purple Crystal Coins is already for a very top-tier divine tool. At least it was at the level of the Light Dragon Spear. This is still considering the premium of a super auction. Otherwise, it might even be lower.

With Tang San's bid, the five thousand Purple Crystal Coins immediately elevated this unknown seven-colored gemstone to such a price. For a moment, his role as a "shill" seemed immediately confirmed.

The Tianyang Spirit King was speechless. Really, money makes the world go round! The money spent on the Blue Gold Fruit should now be almost depleted. This Jin Miaolin really is a remarkable character.

"Five thousand Purple Crystal Coins. Is there a higher bid?" When the Tianyang Spirit King asked this question, he felt completely unconfident.

Why was this seven-colored jewel brought to a blind auction? Why no introduction? The reason was simple! Because they didn't know how to introduce it. Even the Emperors had no idea what it was.

This seven-colored gemstone has been in the Ancestral Court for a long time. The Emperors could only feel its very high energy level, which was definitely at the level of a divine tool. However, the problem was, the energy it emitted had no practical use. Being near it, the most one could feel was a mental and physical pleasure, but it didn't help with Cultivation base or divine consciousness at all. It was a bit like the Time-space marker that Tang San previously acquired. But at least the Time-space marker had a delaying effect, whereas this seven-colored gemstone showed no effects whatsoever.

Five thousand, it seems I might really have tricked Jin Miaolin. Who knows if he will want to cry without tears when he gets this item. The Tianyang Spirit King couldn't help feeling a bit apologetic inside. Five thousand Purple Crystal Coins is not a small sum!

As for a higher price, naturally, there was none. Who would want to pay a stupidity tax?

"Five thousand Purple Crystal Coins, the first time."

"Five thousand Purple Crystal Coins, the second time."

"Five thousand Purple Crystal Coins, the third time. Sold. This item is awarded to VIP Room No.8," declared the Tianyang Spirit King.

However, at this moment, he couldn't see Tang San's expression.

Tang San's face remained very calm, even quietly telling the elders of the Blue Golden Tree Clan that the Tianyang Spirit King had communicated with divine consciousness, insisting on giving him this face.

But in his eyes, there was an indescribable excitement.

What was he looking for by attending this auction? Certainly not the Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox blood essence, Light Dragon Spear, Ice Sealed Throne. Although these items were desirable, none of them were decisively helpful to him. He hoped to try his luck at this super auction, to see if he could find items like the Time-space marker, that were extremely valuable even to a Godking, yet unrecognized by the strong beings of this realm.
