Douluo Dalu: Shooting the Sun

My mother smiled when she heard this: "Son, who told you that we are staying in a hotel? Our Poyi clan is at least the number one clan in the outer sect of Haotian Sect, and our medicine refining is also world-famous, so we still have some industries in various cities. Even in Tiandou City, we have several houses."

Yang Podi was speechless: So this is how big families play, and they even started real estate. In the original novel, the Haotian Sect hid for 25 years, and its strength not only did not decrease, but increased significantly. However, it also survived in this way. It is impossible for the people of the Haotian Sect to farm by themselves.

Suddenly thinking of something, he quickly asked his mother, "Mom, have we bought a house in Tiandou City?"

The result was a roll of the eyes from his mother: "Son, what are you thinking? Don't you see who your mother is? Do you need to buy a house?"

Yang Podi suddenly felt annoyed. His mother was a Soul Emperor of the Yu clan. If she wanted a house, wouldn't it be easy to buy a piece of land? There was no real estate on Douluo Continent, let alone rising house prices.

"Mom, I see that you and dad are not young anymore, so don't you have any property or something like that?"

After hearing this, Niu Jinfeng, the mother, said earnestly, "Don't worry, son. When you grow up, your father and I will prepare a generous gift for you and ensure that you have a grand wedding."

Yang Podi was speechless again: Is this what I am talking about? Is it necessary to say this? Don’t I just want to know how much savings you have?

The father Yang Zhentian next to him seemed to be trying hard to suppress the smile on his face.

After driving in Tiandou City for more than ten minutes, the carriage finally arrived in front of a large courtyard. Although the courtyard was a bit old, it was relatively clean and it was obvious that someone cleaned it regularly.

After some arrangements, everyone was arranged to move into the house. However, due to the limited number of houses, many of them were multiple-person rooms. However, considering that most of the people on this trip were children, they could still be accommodated. And judging from the second grandfather's appearance, it seemed that he had some other plans?

After dinner, Yang Podi returned to his room alone, lay on the bed and began to think.

The first small task has been completed. My parents and I have arrived in Tiandou City. Our lives should not be in danger in the short term.

The next thing is to wait for the Haotian Sect. Once Tang Hao injures Pope Qianxunji, it basically means that Qianxunji is about to die, and it also means that war is about to break out.

As for the Po Yi Clan, he was powerless. He could only hope that Grandpa and his men could minimize the losses and come to Tian Dou City as soon as possible after the war. This would also reduce the impact after the war, and the subsequent development would not be constrained by the Spirit Hall.

The next step is to start the second goal. After the martial soul awakens next year, we will have to consider the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire. That is the place that can truly change the fate of the Poyi Clan.

According to the original novel, Dugu Yan should be about the same age as himself, and Dugu Yan's parents died of poisoning. We can judge whether Dugu Bo has already occupied the Yin-Yang Eyes of Fire and Ice by checking whether Dugu Yan's parents are dead now. If Dugu Bo has not occupied them yet, then we will occupy them first. If Dugu Bo has already occupied the Yin-Yang Eyes of Fire and Ice, then we have to think of other ways.

It can also be judged by whether Dugu Bo has become a Titled Douluo. If Dugu Bo is already a Titled Douluo, it means that he has occupied the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, and he needs to make long-term plans.

As he was thinking, Yang Podi fell into a deep sleep. Perhaps because his life was no longer in danger, he slept particularly soundly and deeply this time.

Niu Jinfeng and Yang Zhentian came into the room and saw their son falling asleep. As Yang Zhentian was about to speak, he was interrupted by Niu Jinfeng.

Immediately afterwards, Niu Jinfeng quietly came to Yang Podi, touched Yang Podi's sleeping face, helped cover him with the quilt, and then called her husband and quietly left the room.

"Husband, have you noticed that our son is sleeping particularly soundly today?"

Yang Zhentian shook his head: "No, why didn't I feel it?"

Niu Jinfeng kept complaining: "What do you know? In the past, when my son was sleeping, his brows were always a little furrowed, as if he was afraid of something, and he was very vigilant. Now that he has come to Tiandou City, he seems to be completely relaxed, so he sleeps more soundly."

"Wife, is that so? Logically speaking, our family is quite powerful, so what can our son worry about? Just like this time, I always feel that our son is making a big fuss."

Niu Jinfeng suddenly got a little angry: "You can't even feel the changes in your son's sleep, how can you be his father? Since my son thinks Tiandou City is good, then we can just live in Tiandou City in the future. It will save my son from being always worried."

"Wife, this is not a good idea. After all, I am the young patriarch of the Poyi Clan. What does it mean for me to leave the family and live in Tiandou City for a long time?"

"I don't care if you're the young patriarch or something else. Nothing is more important than my son. I don't care. Just do what you want."

Seeing that Niu Jinfeng was really a little angry, Yang Zhentian quickly began to coax his wife: "Don't be angry, my wife. Since my son wants to live in Tiandou City, I will find a way."

Chapter 7 Tour of Tiandou City

Because there were too many children in the group and they were difficult to manage, Dad Yang Zhentian and five adults would take a small group of children out to play, about ten at a time, and the rest would stay in the yard, guarded by Second Grandpa Yang Wushuang himself.

I don't know who bought a lot of building materials from outside. It seems that they plan to build a few more houses around? It is said that the Poyi clan has several properties in Tiandou City, but the second grandfather has no intention of arranging people to other places.

After noticing this, Yang Podi began to understand. Perhaps this time the family had deliberately arranged for the younger generation to seek refuge in Tiandou City. Could it be that his grandfather had also received any news?

The following days were like returning to the Po Yi clan. Every morning, the second grandfather Yang Wushuang personally led everyone to practice the Pohun spear technique. The second grandfather seemed to be stimulated by something. He was very strict with everyone, making many people miserable.

Of course, everyone was very excited about going out and playing, and they all looked forward to their turn to go out and play, so they practiced more diligently and had the mentality of a child.

Yesterday it was finally his turn to go out for fun, and Yang Podi was particularly interested in Tiandou City, the largest city in the world.

Unlike other trips with a group, this time, my mom, Niu Jinfeng, took me out alone, earning a resentful look from my dad. Everyone else was out as a family of three, but why was it just my wife and son? And I was the other kids' babysitter?

Yang Podi and his mother Niu Jinfeng didn't care about all this and they both went out happily.

"Mom, did you often come to Tiandou City to play?"

Niu Jinfeng said proudly, "Of course. Don't you care who your mother is? Your mother is a powerful Soul Emperor. She was also a great beauty. Your father brought me to Tiandou City many times in order to pursue me."

"Mom, you are also a great beauty now."

"That's right, my son is more obedient. Today, I will take you to experience the characteristics of Tiandou City." Niu Jinfeng seemed a little happy when she heard this.

"Mom, what's fun in Tiandou City? It feels like nothing interesting these past few days."

"Son, you are still young and don't understand what's fun about Tiandou City."

Seeing Yang Podi's slightly puzzled look, Niu Jinfeng continued, "Tiandou City is the capital of the Tiandou Empire and also the core area of the Tiandou Empire. It is said that the population exceeds ten million, which makes Tiandou City particularly prosperous."

"In the entire Tiandou City, there are three things that are particularly interesting."

"The first is the Tiandou Great Soul Fighting Arena. It's where all the soul masters from the Douluo Continent compete. It's also the only place where non-soul masters can watch soul masters fight. Soul fighting is divided into three categories. One is gambling, which means mutual learning. Killing is prohibited. Another is life-and-death battle, used to resolve irreconcilable disputes. The last is gambling. After the two parties agree on the details of the gambling, the soul fighting arena arranges a referee to conduct the soul fighting."

"The Tiandou Soul Fighting Arena is the highest level among all the Soul Fighting Arenas, and it can support battles at the Soul Emperor level. The battle scene is very lively and exciting. Mom will take you to see it tonight."

"The second one is the Tiandou Auction House. The Tiandou Auction House is the largest auction house in the Tiandou Empire. There are many very valuable items being auctioned there, sometimes even some priceless soul bones. Even if you don't attend the auction, it can still be an eye-opener for you."

"Or maybe it's the prosperity of Tiandou City."

Yang Podi asked in confusion, "What's so fun about the prosperous Tiandou City?"

"What do you know, kid? Prosperity means shopping and delicious food. In Tiandou City, you can basically find anything you want to buy, even some rare soul guides and even soul bones. At the same time, Tiandou City's food is also famous throughout the country. No matter what food you want to eat, you can find it in Tiandou City, and it tastes very good."

Yang Podi couldn't help but complain in his heart: No matter which world, shopping and food have a fatal attraction to women.

Next, Niu Jinfeng took Yang Podi on a shopping spree. Niu Jinfeng, like a shopping maniac, bought everything she liked. From clothes of all styles to jewelry, she bought everything she liked. Gold Soul Coins, precious to ordinary people, were nothing to a high-level Soul Master, especially since her mother came from a wealthy family.

Of course, my mother also bought Yang Podi a lot of clothes, toys and the like, and even bought him small armors of various styles, which made Yang Podi speechless.

The whole afternoon was spent shopping. It was obvious that my mother was quite familiar with Tiandou City and even bought some relatively rare items.

For dinner, I didn’t go home but went to the largest hotel nearby.

As expected of the largest hotel in Tiandou City, it is extremely luxurious both from the outside and inside. Many places are decorated with gold or jade, and there are even a lot of expensive orchids placed throughout the lobby. Although many people are eating there, it does not seem noisy, on the contrary it looks quite elegant.

It can be seen that those who enter this kind of big hotel to eat are basically some nobles or relatively elegant people, or some soul masters.

Niu Jinfeng led him directly to a private room. Yang Podi glanced at the menu and couldn't help but swallow his saliva. As expected of the largest hotel in Tiandou City, the prices were quite impressive. According to estimates, any dish would cost tens or even hundreds of gold coins, equivalent to a lifetime's expenses for an average citizen. As for the soul beast meat, the price was even more outrageous.

It seemed that considering that Yang Po Di was still relatively young, they did not order some rare soul beast meat, but instead some ordinary dishes.

Looking at the various fragrant dishes on the table, Yang Podi swallowed his saliva and finally turned into a glutton, eating without caring about his image. However, his mother was relatively conservative when eating.

After Yang Podi had a big meal, his stomach was a little bloated, so he had to drink some tea to help digest the food. Although the food at Tiandu Hotel was expensive, the taste was really good, and it was worth the price. No wonder the business was so hot.

"Mom, are we going back now?"

"Where have we got to now? You know, Tiandou City is the most fun at night."

"Let's go to the Tiandou Auction Venue first. After the auction, we should be able to go to the Great Soul Fighting Arena to watch the Soul Fighting Competition. However, I guess we can only watch the last one or two Soul Fighting Competitions."

Through this, Yang Podi realized that the Tiandou City Auction and the Tiandou Soul Fighting Arena basically start at the same time in the evening, but the auction time is relatively shorter, while the soul fighting in the soul fighting arena is more tightly arranged, with more soul fighting sessions, and often lasts until midnight.

Chapter 8 Tiandou Auction

After dinner, Niu Jinfeng took Yang Podi to the Tiandou Auction House.

When I first arrived at the auction, I saw a huge circular building, which looked a bit like the site of a large sports event in later generations. The auction venue was nearly 500 meters in diameter, and the highest point was over 80 meters. The whole thing was white, and it looked gorgeous yet solemn.

Standing at the door of the auction house were four beautiful girls. All of them had pretty faces and tall figures, each reaching a height of 20 meters. They were wearing long skirts that showed off their exquisite curves, and judging from their facial shapes, they were all under years old.

Moreover, his movements were very skillful yet elegant, obviously the result of long-term training.

One of the girls walked towards Yang Podi and the other man, and bowed slightly: "Do you two need any help?"

A black card appeared in Niu Jinfeng's hand and she handed it to the girl who came over. There was a picture of the auction on the card.

The girl took the card and examined it carefully, then immediately handed it back to Niu Jinfeng. "Dear Black Card member, welcome to our auction house. Would you like to go to the lobby or directly to the private room?"

"Go to the private room and arrange a private room for me."

"Okay, distinguished Black Card member. Please follow me."

Without saying a word, the girl led Niu Jinfeng and Yang Podi into the auction house.

Walking into the auction house, there is no sense of splendor. The floor is milky white marble, and the surrounding walls are decorated with various reliefs with few colors. It looks simple and bright, very elegant, and also shows the grade of the auction house. The girl leading the way is very professional. She would stop every ten steps or so, make a gesture of invitation, and accurately guide the direction.

Of course, there were many guards along the way, probably to maintain order at the scene and to prevent fights or robberies from happening.

Soon the three of them came to a private room. The girl said, "The most distinguished black card member, this is the private room. Please wait a moment. The auction will begin soon."

As Niu Jinfeng nodded, the girl left the private room.

Yang Podi looked carefully at the private room. The interior decoration of the room was very simple. There were only eight seats. There was glass in front of each seat. They all faced the center of the auction hall and could see the entire venue clearly. Obviously, these glasses were one-sided and the situation inside the room could not be observed from the outside.

Looking out from the private room, the entire auction venue is divided into five parts. The three rows of areas closest to the stage are red, and radiating outwards are black, purple, yellow and white. Each area is divided into private rooms and seats, which are probably chosen according to personal preference.

After a while, a waiter knocked on the door and a beautiful waiter came in. She served tea and snacks to the two of them.

According to Yang Podi's observation, all the waiters in the auction hall were women. They were about the same height as the four waiters at the door, but with hotter figures and more revealing clothes. Whether it was their chests or skirts, they were vaguely revealing bursts of spring light.

"Mom, how come you have the black card of the auction house?"

"Son, who am I? How come I don't even have a black card? I just haven't been here much lately, so I didn't apply for a red card. But your grandfather even has a red card."

Yang Podi ignored his mother's words and carefully observed the entire venue. Those beautiful waitresses were just as Ning Fengzhi described in the original novel, with dull expressions, and even a little dullness in their eyes. According to Ning Fengzhi himself, these beauties had lost their souls and could only be manipulated by others.

When Yang Podi first heard these words in his previous life, although they made sense, he felt something was amiss. The second time he heard them, he felt they were utter nonsense. If a person didn't even have a body, let alone a soul, what was there? Although these people looked numb now, if they were taken back and trained, who could say they couldn't return to normal? What they lacked was hope and freedom.

After a while, the auction officially began. The host of the auction was a sexy beauty in a red dress. She was extremely beautiful in height, appearance and figure. She was even more eloquent. Her ability to sensationalize and control the situation was much stronger than those so-called excellent hosts I had seen in my previous life.

As the auction gradually began, one item after another appeared on the central auction table. At the same time, the large screen at the top magnified the entire item, allowing everyone present to clearly see the item from all angles.

The host introduced the origin, function and value of the auction item in detail, even with some sensational words, and then gave a starting price. People at the scene bid according to their understanding of the product.

In short, the whole scene was very noisy. Some people were discussing the actual value of the products, some were regretting that they did not bring enough Gold Soul Coins, and even more people were discussing the transaction price of the auction items.

The products offered at the meeting were all-encompassing, with values ​​varying from high to low. The cheap ones included ancient swords and antiques, while the expensive ones included soul guides or high-vintage medicinal herbs. There was even an auction of cat-eared girls like in the original novel, and of course there were also some precious metals.

Suddenly something very interesting appeared.

The beautiful woman in red began to introduce the product: "Dear guests, the next item to be auctioned is a very rare treasure."

There was a fist-sized black object on the auction plate. There were lines on the black object, like glue.

"As you can see, the auction item in front of you is a piece of whale glue, and it is a piece of whale glue that is 10,000 years old. For men who need it, it is a great tonic and can also help men regain their virility."

As these words were spoken, many men at the scene became excited.

"Dear guests, this piece of ten thousand year old whale glue has a starting price of 1 gold soul coins."

"Eleven thousand gold soul coins."

"Twelve thousand gold soul coins."

……

Soon the price of this piece of whale glue reached 30,000 gold soul coins.

"Ah, take a picture of this whale glue."

Niu Jinfeng looked at Yang Podi with a puzzled look on her face: "How can you, a little kid, know what the effect of whale jelly is?"

"Mom, I've read a lot of books recently. Sperm glue may have other uses. You can buy it back for my dad. It will definitely be of great use."

Although Niu Jinfeng hesitated for a moment, she finally couldn't resist her son's request and directly auctioned the whale glue for 50,000 gold soul coins.

The scene fell into silence. This seemed to be the first time that a woman auctioned whale rubber. Could it be that her husband was not capable enough?

Niu Jinfeng was speechless. A woman like her, bringing her son to auction whale rubber? What kind of thing was that? If others knew about this, they would be laughed to death.

Chapter 9: Tiandou Great Fighting Spirit Arena

After the whale glue was sold, the auction continued. There were still so many items to sell, and Yang Podi was very interested in many of them. However, he was too young to use them. He also didn't have any money.

Finally, at the last moment of the auction, the finale item of the auction venue was unexpectedly a thousand-year-old soul bone.

Although Yang Po Di looked down upon the thousand-year-old soul bone, the scene became heated.

The host introduced the items seductively: "Dear guests, as you can see, today's grand finale is a thousand-year-old Iron Armored Bear right arm soul bone. The Iron Armored Bear possesses exceptional strength and defense, making it ideal for power-type soul masters. It is truly a priceless treasure."

Yang Podi looked at the red soul bone that was shining on the big screen, and a trace of desire actually arose in his heart. Soul bones are indeed extremely valuable to soul masters. It is not just as simple as providing a soul skill. More importantly, it improves physical fitness and even the speed of soul master's soul power. No wonder it is called the treasure of the Blood River.
