Chapter 950: Claiming the Throne of Frost?
The starting bid for the Throne of Frost wasn't as high as the Everblaze Sunflower. This wasn't because the throne was inferior, but rather because the Everblaze Sunflower had broader uses and appealed to a greater number of races. The difference also reflected the gap between the two sellers. After all, how could the Ice Maiden clan compare to the Blazing Sun Flower Nymph clan? In fact, the value of the Throne of Frost surpassed that of the Everblaze Sunflower, especially for cultivators attuned to ice.
Staring at the Throne of Frost displayed on the crystal screen before him, Tang San couldn't help but feel sorrow, as though the throne carried the helplessness and grief of the Ice Maiden clan.
Sighing softly, Tang San pressed the button beside him.
"VIP Room Eight, nine hundred amethystine coins," announced the auctioneer promptly.
Seeing Tang San's bid, the elders proceeded to ignore it. If the clan leader wanted something, then he certainly had something in mind. Only Jin Miaosen looked puzzled. "Big Brother, what are you doing? It's ice-attribute. What's the use for us?"
Tang San replied calmly, "Don't worry, I have a use for it."
In truth, he actually had a need for elemental artifacts like this one. The Everblaze Sunflower from earlier would have also suited him, but he couldn't bid recklessly—especially since it was clear that the Undying Demon Emperor had intended it for Mei Gongzi. Thus, Tang San had avoided participating. But this Throne of Frost was a different matter; he was determined to obtain it.
With this artifact, not only could his eldest senior brother greatly enhance his power and purify his bloodline, but it would also help humanity establish and stabilize a proper Elemental Sea rather than the ice pool they had right now, and that would significantly increase the chances of humans awakening an affinity for ice control.
Ordinary bidders didn't know the identities of those in VIP Room Eight, only that it belonged to one of the city lords. But the stronger figures were aware. Many found it puzzling that the Blue Gold Tree clan suddenly became interested in the Throne of Frost. What use could the Blue Gold Tree clan have for an ice-attribute artifact?
Nevertheless, the bidding continued.
Evidently, Tang San wasn't the only one interested. Some other people had also been eagerly awaiting this moment, and they immediately started bidding.
