Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Mysterious Heavy Ruler

Chapter 12 Heaven Dou City and the Auction (Part 1)

After parting ways with Mu Yun and the others, Xiao Yi thought about going home to pay respects to his mother, since two years had passed.

half a month later.

Xiao Yi returned to his home in Nottingham City and tidied it up, since he hadn't been home for two years and the house was covered in dust.

By the time he finished tidying up, it was already evening. After taking care of his own food, he thought about going to pay respects to his mother the next day.

The next morning, Xiao Yi arrived at his mother's tombstone. He spent some time clearing away the weeds and told his mother about his experiences over the past two years.

After the worship ceremony, it was already afternoon. Xiao Yi returned home and planned to rest at home for half a month before going to Tiandou City.

Half a month later, Xiao Yi finished his rest and embarked on his journey to Tiandou City.

His journey to Tiandou City was far from peaceful, as he was ambushed several times, which annoyed him greatly. In a fit of anger, he wiped out several bandit dens in the mountains.

After wiping out several bandit dens, his wallet got a little fuller.

They changed carriages several times along the way due to bandits, and it took them two months to finally reach Tiandou City.

Two months later.

Heaven Dou City is one of the two largest and most prosperous cities on the Douluo Continent. Its city walls are hundreds of meters high, entirely constructed of the hardest granite. Numerous patrol teams constantly pass by, each fully armed, clad in gleaming silver full-body armor and wielding sharp spears. The chilling aura emanating from them speaks volumes about their elite status.

The towering city gate was ten meters high, and its width on both sides was also ten meters, wide enough for six riders to ride abreast. Above the main gate was a huge plaque with three large characters, "Tian Dou City," written in a flowing, elegant script. Next to the main gate were two side gates, each five meters high and wide.

However, the main gate in the center was tightly closed at the moment, and pedestrians could only enter and exit through the side gates on both sides.

Xiao Yi stood not far outside the city, gazing at the magnificent city.

"This is Heaven Dou City. It's really grand. Although those nobles aren't very capable, they still know how to enjoy themselves."

Xiao Yi sighed inwardly.

Passersby were drawn to Xiao Yi's aura and cast curious glances at him. Seeing Xiao Yi's white hair and aloof demeanor, they wondered in their hearts whose young master this was.

"I'll be living here from now on," Xiao Yi thought to himself.

After pausing for a while at the city gate, Xiao Yi walked into the city.

The guards at the city gate looked at Xiao Yi respectfully, not daring to make things difficult for him, and quickly let him pass.

Xiao Yi had a cold and aloof demeanor, giving people a feeling that strangers should not approach him. Only scions of prominent families could possess such an aura, and he was someone that should never be offended. The guard never expected that Xiao Yi was a commoner.

After entering the city gate and walking forward for a while, the number of pedestrians on both sides of the road gradually increased. There were all kinds of shops around, and many shops had shop assistants calling out their wares, creating a lively scene.

As Xiao Yi walked down the street, his demeanor and appearance attracted the attention of many women, who gathered around him one after another.

Xiao Yi was quickly blocked by the crowd, which made him flustered. Finally, the patrol team came and dispersed the congestion.

After the crowd dispersed, he looked up and saw the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace.

The Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace is the most prestigious place in the entire Heavenly Dou City, and its buildings are also the tallest.

The Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace was built within Heavenly Dou City. Its walls were entirely constructed of white marble, and their height was no less than that of the Heavenly Dou City walls. In fact, its gates were much more imposing and magnificent. The Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace was like the inner city of Heavenly Dou City.

"If I remember correctly, Qian Renxue should be Xue Qinghe, the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, by now," Xiao Yi muttered to himself.

"But that's none of my business. The most important thing now is to find a place to rest and buy a house tomorrow."

Xiao Yi found the hotel after searching for a while. It has to be said that the prices in Tian Dou City are indeed expensive. A room costs twenty gold soul coins per night. You should know that one gold soul coin is enough for a family of three to live on for several months. However, Xiao Yi is not short of money now, so he doesn't care.

……

The next morning, Xiao Yi got up and started looking for a house. By the afternoon, he had his eye on a house in a good location. The house originally belonged to a nobleman, but it seemed that he had committed some mistake and was punished by Xue Qinghe. The house had been left vacant. Of course, in Tian Dou City, where land is extremely valuable, Xiao Yi spent one million gold soul coins.

After buying the house, the salesperson also told him that there would be an auction that night, where soul bones would be sold.

After tidying up the room, it was almost time for the auction.

The Tian Dou Auction House is uniquely constructed, perfectly round, like half a sphere placed on top. There are no signs on it, only a hammer symbol.

When Xiao Yi was in the Soul Hunter Group, he talked about auction houses with Mu Yun. When his father died, the soul bone was also sold from an auction house. Soul bones are highly sought after in the outside world. Unlike soul rings, which can only be used when advancing in rank, soul bones can be absorbed as long as you have soul power. Moreover, soul bones can be passed down. As the saying goes, "one bone can be passed down for three generations." Even after a person dies, the bone remains. Therefore, most soul bones appear in auction houses.

Although the Spirit Hall explicitly forbids Spirit Masters from hunting Spirit Beasts and obtaining Spirit Bones on a large scale, many Spirit Masters who are confident in their strength still take the risk. Of course, most Spirit Masters exchange them with each other, and not many people bring them to the auction.

Xiao Yi slowly walked towards the auction house.

Only when you get close can you truly appreciate the scale of that circular building.

According to Xiao Yi's estimation, the semicircle on the ground has a diameter of at least 500 meters and a height of at least 80 meters. Although its level of luxury is incomparable to that of a royal palace, it should be noted that this is an auction house, and it does not need to be built so luxuriously.

Moreover, this is the capital of the Heavenly Dou Empire. In this place where every inch of land is precious, the status of an auction house of this size is extremely important, and the background of the auction house is also unfathomable.

The auction house's main entrance was also semi-circular, and like the rest of the building, it was milky white. Four tall young women stood in front of the entrance.

These girls were clearly carefully selected. Not only were they all around 1.75 meters tall, but they also had extremely well-proportioned figures. Although they could not be considered stunning beauties, their pretty faces were still very attractive, and they looked to be no more than twenty years old.

They wore floor-length dresses that covered even their arms, revealing not a single inch of skin, but the dresses were very form-fitting, perfectly outlining their graceful figures.

The snow-white dresses were embroidered with silver patterns, which vaguely formed words, but Xiao Yi couldn't make out what they were. The four girls moved in perfect unison, their hands clasped in front of them, their faces smiling. Although it was a professional smile, it still made them very likable.
