Chapter 423: Chapter 422: Fox Tail Relic

The giant egg was finally auctioned off for a high price of two thousand Elemental Coins.The rarities that were brought to the Grand Ancestral Auction House were indeed selected carefully and contained many fine items. Among them, Tang San was particularly interested in some rare ores, some of which even the Monster Clan and Spirit Clan who sent them for auction did not recognize. Among these items were the ones Tang San liked. He and Zhang Haoxuan bid themselves and acquired several pieces of ore at reasonable prices. These items were his primary targets for attending this auction.

"The next item we have up for auction may be the smallest in size at this event, but its value is quite considerable. Honestly, if possible, I would very much like to obtain it myself because for us of the Fox Tribe, it holds an extraordinary significance," the auctioneer said.

The cart was wheeled up, and from the bulging state under the red cloth covering it, it seemed there was only a tray beneath, and the object within did not protrude above the surface of the tray, clearly indicating it was very small.

The expression of the Blue Fox Auctioneer was somewhat complex. From its eyes, one could tell that what it had just said indeed came from the heart. What kind of rare object related to the Fox Tribe could it be?

Instead of directly pulling off the red cloth from the auction cart, the Blue Fox Auctioneer first bowed deeply towards it. After reverently paying respects, it carefully grasped both sides of the red cloth and gently lifted it to reveal what lay underneath.

Faint colorful halo light blossomed outward from the tray on the auction cart, the rainbow-like aura radiating an extraordinary feeling.

From the mountainside, if one didn't have Tang San's sharp vision, it was almost impossible to see what the item on the auction cart was, as it indeed was incredibly tiny.

Tang San also activated his Purple Demon Eyes, coupled with the enhancement to vision provided by the Spirit Rhinoceros Eye, to barely make out the details.

What was revealed on the auction cart were three spike-like objects. They were transparent and as slender as needles but radiated a faint seven-colored gleam, giving off a very peculiar feeling.

Even with Tang San's knowledge, he couldn't immediately recognize what exactly these objects were.

The Blue Fox Auctioneer, with a complex expression, said, "These three are the treasures of all our Fox Tribe. They were put up for auction by the Red Fox Tribe. If there are any bidding guests of our tribe present, I urge you to do your best to bring them back to the Fox Tribe."

As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to sense something, his facial expression subtly changing, his gaze flickering with a touch of helplessness and melancholy, and continued, "This item is known as the Fox Tail Relic. Among our Fox Tribe, only those with great power and virtue can produce such upon their death and cremation. The Fox Tail Relic holds immense symbolic significance for our tribe. Any ancestor capable of producing a Fox Tail Relic has made significant contributions to our tribe. The Red Fox Tribe, due to financial hardships in recent years and in order to prevent more clansmen from becoming playthings, has put these three Fox Tail Relics up for auction to improve the lives of the tribe. Possessing the Fox Tail Relic can bring peace of mind and protect the owner from Heart Demons and Bloodline Backlash during cultivation, especially when absorbing blood essence, it serves as an excellent aid, truly being a rare and wondrous treasure. The starting bid is one thousand Elemental Coins."

From within Auction Room No. 336, Tang San's gaze remained fixed on the three Fox Tail Relics. They gave him a very peculiar feeling. Observing their Luck aspect, it surprisingly presented as a faint gold color. Tang San knew that such a gold color he had seen only on himself, except his was a white gold pillar soaring to the heavens, whereas the Fox Tail Relic was inherently a light gold tint, with this glow subtly contained within it. In that light gold hue, Tang San could even discern a tinge of red. Although he dared not probe with his divine consciousness, he could clearly sense that these three Fox Tail Relics were incredibly divine.

Of course, quality items also came with correspondingly high prices. Up until that point, these three Fox Tail Relics were the highest-priced items.

The starting bid of one thousand Elemental Coins was quite expensive. Being immune to Bloodline Backlash and unaffected by Heart Demons was not a trait useful to all within the Monster Clan and Spirit Clan. Tang San's first thought was that if the Lion Tiger Beast lineage had obtained it before they met him, it probably would have been greatly helpful, at least in controlling their own bloodline conflicts.

"One thousand one hundred Elemental Coins." There was a bid made immediately. Clearly, the value of the Fox Tail Relics, combined with the Blue Fox Auctioneer's plea to the Fox Tribe, had an effect.

"One thousand two hundred Elemental Coins." The price began to climb.

Fox Tail Relics must be rarely seen, or perhaps they might never have appeared before. While the bids continued, they were not rising particularly fast, as the bidders seemed somewhat hesitant.

"Teacher, do you know what Fox Tail Relics are?" Tang San said to Zhang Haoxuan through a voice transmission.

"Unheard of," Zhang Haoxuan replied without hesitation. "There are some doubts about this thing. Is it really useful? Demons like these seem plausible in the Spirit Clan's cultivation, but I haven't really heard of the Monster Clan having such issues—after all, their cultivation is all about direct evolution through bloodline. And as for bloodline backlash, as long as the bloodline is strong enough and doesn't recklessly devour other essences, it shouldn't be a problem, right? This item seems rather superfluous."

Tang San's eyes narrowed slightly. His opinion on the three Fox Tail Relics differed considerably from Zhang Haoxuan's.

The true value of this item was likely far greater than what the Blue Fox Auctioneer had described. Otherwise, it wouldn't start at such a high bidding price.

"One thousand eight hundred Elemental Coins." The price was nearly doubling.

"Two thousand Elemental Coins, thank you guest number three-three-six."

Yes, Tang San had bid again. Moreover, at this moment, his gaze was filled with determination. He had made up his mind to win the three Fox Tail Relics.

"Two thousand one hundred Elemental Coins," the Blue Fox Auctioneer said nervously after Tang San's bid was placed. After all, guest number three-three-six was the one who had acquired the God-killing Sword yesterday, implying that he might belong to the Lion Tribe or the Tiger Clan, not the Fox Tribe! He genuinely didn't want the Fox Tail Relics to fall into the hands of outsiders.

"Two thousand three hundred Elemental Coins," Tang San bid once more. Sёarᴄh the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Two thousand four hundred Elemental Coins." There were still competitors bidding. At this price, only one voice continued to challenge Tang San.

"Two thousand six hundred Elemental Coins," Tang San steadily added two hundred more to his bid.

"Two thousand seven hundred Elemental Coins," the other side matched the bid once again.

"Three thousand Elemental Coins," Tang San entered the bid calmly.

When the bid of three thousand Elemental Coins appeared, the entire place fell silent. This had set the record for today's auction. Were the three Fox Tail Relics really worth three thousand Elemental Coins? It was akin to saying that an existence as small as a fine needle was worth a thousand Elemental Coins each! It was simply incredible.

The entity competing with Tang San finally gave up, not raising the bid any further. Clearly, the price of three thousand had exceeded its affordable range.

"Three thousand Elemental Coins, any more bidders?" the Blue Fox Auctioneer energetically searched for more competitors.

Alas, it seemed that the price had reached its limit for the three Fox Tail Relics, and no further bids were made.

"Going three times, sold," the Blue Fox Auctioneer sounded as if drained of all energy at the moment of the gavel strike, somewhat dispirited.

The three Fox Tail Relics were taken off the stage, and the auctioneer was promptly replaced. Still a member of the Blue Fox Clan, but with a noticeably better spirit, essence, and energy.

Inside bidding room three-three-six, Tang San also breathed a sigh of relief. The relics might not be so useful in the hands of others, but in his, they were truly of great use.
