Chapter 412: Chapter 411 Lucky Indeed
Tang San watched as a Tianyang fruit from the Tianyang Tree lineage, capable of helping the fire attribute Spirit Monsters break through their barriers to ascend to God level, was auctioned off for the horrifying price of ten thousand Elemental Coins.
Soon, half a day had passed. Although he didn\'t gain anything, the auction proved to be a real eye-opener for Tang San, greatly enhancing his knowledge of the treasures in this world.
From the auction, it was evident that the Rihchen Empire was wealthier than the Tianyu Empire. Spirit Monsters were not as skilled in battle as Monsters, but they had an unparalleled advantage in cultivation, producing a bounty of heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Most of the treasures participating in the day\'s auction were from the Rihchen Empire.
The half-day passed swiftly, and there was an intermission. The auction would continue in the afternoon.
Zhang Haoxuan\'s voice transmission followed, "We didn\'t buy anything this morning except for that God-killing Sword. Actually, there were a few good items. If there\'s something you need for your cultivation, don\'t hold back. After all, this money is all earned by you. What I\'m most looking forward to now is for you to break through to God level as soon as possible."
Tang San said, "Don\'t worry, teacher, if it\'s truly what I need, I won\'t be polite. Our funds are limited, so we must find something particularly suitable before making a move."
What he didn\'t say outright was that among these heavenly materials and earthly treasures, he was more interested in blood essence. While medicinal plants of spiritual nature were good, they offered non-specific improvements and were relatively easy to obtain. For him and his companions, however, the most important thing was blood essence that could help them break through their bloodline limitations.
The limitation of their bloodlines was the most crucial issue tormenting the Shrek squad\'s potential for further improvement. This was particularly true for Du Bai and Gu Li, who possessed powerful bloodlines.
The Ninth Stage blood of the Time Crocodile he obtained from the Spirit Rhinoceros Commerce was an unexpected delight, but there was no solution yet for the others\' bloodlines. Given their current bloodline talents, only Wu Bingji with his Ice Spirit change could sustain his cultivation to the Ninth Stage. Aside from him, it would be difficult for the others to break through to the Ninth Stage, not to mention the even higher demands of God level. The reason Tang San insisted on attending the auction at the Ancestral Court was precisely to address this issue.
As for what could be obtained, it really depended on luck. Tang San had no doubt about his own luck. After leaving Hell\'s Garden, he discovered that his luck was soaring, almost like the aura opposite the Grand Animal Fighting Arena. Although it couldn\'t compare to its grandeur, the soaring luck was something Tang San had rarely seen in his Aura Observing Technique.
He once tried to use the Aura Observing Technique to observe the imperial palaces. Most of the imperial palaces\' luck was concealed, but he could still perceive it subtly, a result of combining God King-level divine consciousness with the Aura Observing Technique. It seemed that even Emperors didn\'t possess the kind of luck he had.
Tang San didn\'t know the origins of this luck, but even receiving a message from Jiali City\'s Pretty Girl today convinced him of his good fortune.
The target for this auction had already been set by Tang San before it started. The primary goal was blood essence, top-notch blood essence. He would not limit it to the needs of just a few people; if there were other First level blood essences compatible with his abilities, he would consider it, since he had an extra Mark to spare.
Next would be the oddities auctioned the following day. He wouldn\'t dwell too much on Divine Objects, as without nation-rivaling wealth, there was no chance to vie for them, and the risks were too high. But oddities were different. From the first auction he attended in Jiali City, it was clear that there were many valuable items in this world whose uses were unknown to others, like the Earth Shattering Hammer forged from Heavenly Fire Fine Iron, and the Golden Wood that later formed the Golden Tree.
If you want to pick up a bargain at the Ancestral Court\'s grand auction, it is very likely to occur during the auction of these rare items. And it is likely to happen in the morning because the items auctioned in the morning are definitely not as outstanding as those in the afternoon.
The auction continued in the afternoon on the first day. Soon, the first item was brought up again. When this item appeared, Tang San\'s expression immediately became peculiar.
Blood essence, it had finally appeared. Moreover, the first type of blood essence to appear was precisely what they needed—it was the blood essence of the Golden Winged Roc.
There were a total of ten drops, Ninth Stage peak Golden Winged Roc blood essence, with a starting bid of three hundred Elemental Coins.
This price was undoubtedly extremely high, but as an extremely rare blood essence, the mere fact that it appeared at the auction was enough to surprise everyone.
Tang San almost immediately conveyed his determination to obtain it to his teacher.
He had bid one Elemental Coin for the God-killing Sword in the morning; it was best to keep a low profile in the afternoon if possible.
While they were exchanging messages, under the announcement of the host from the Blue Fox Clan, the bidding for the Golden Winged Roc\'s blood essence began.
Almost instantly, the price was raised to five hundred Elemental Coins.
Cheng Zicheng\'s bloodline intensity was relatively stronger than that of Du Bai and Gu Li, but it was only a slight advantage, supporting her ascent to the Eighth Stage was already the limit, something Cheng Zicheng herself had realized. That\'s why she had been so desperate to cultivate recently in the imperial palaces of the Undying Great Demon Emperor and the Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor, hoping to stimulate her bloodline to progress.
However, the potential of bloodline power is limited, and advancing purely through stimulation is no easy task. But with these ten drops of Ninth Stage peak Golden Winged Roc blood essence, it was different. With Tang San\'s years of research on bloodline power, these blood essences could completely purify her bloodline, allowing Cheng Zicheng to not worry about bloodline intensity issues at least until the peak of the Ninth Stage. As for how to advance to the God rank in the future, it would probably require killing a God level strong from the Golden Winged Roc clan and forcibly seizing their bloodline.
When the price exceeded seven hundred, Zhang Haoxuan\'s voice transmission immediately came again, "Tang San, it\'s too expensive. We have limited funds; if we spend too much here, what will we do if there are other items you want later?"
However, Tang San was unhesitating in his response, "Teacher, we\'d rather play our best hand in one decisive action than give up easily. We don\'t know what will come later on, but right now we can be entirely sure that the blood essences appearing before us are essential for Sister Chengzi. Even if good items appear later and we can\'t buy them, we mustn\'t give up on our necessities. Go ahead and bid."
He was very decisive in this matter, not only because Cheng Zicheng\'s improvement would also allow him to climb higher. One person\'s strength is ultimately limited. On the other side, Jiali City\'s Pretty Girl had already finished her seclusion. The City Lord competition she would face, even the immense pressure coming from the Ancestral Court, all required strong support. Now that he could directly enhance his companions\' strength, he absolutely couldn\'t miss this chance. Even if the blood essence of the Heavenly Fox Clan appeared later, he would have no regrets. Moreover, given the power of the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox, the likelihood of the Heavenly Fox Clan\'s blood essence appearing here was close to zero.
"Alright then." Hearing his words, Zhang Haoxuan could only agree helplessly.
"Eight hundred Elemental Coins!" While they were talking, the price had already risen to eight hundred, nearly tripling from the initial starting bid.
