Douluo Continent: The True Body and Blood Soul, Starting from Blacksmithing

Although Lin Yu lost two matches, experienced people in the Soul Arena knew that the newcomer "Dragon Blood" lost to the adults' development and application of Soul Skills.

This young man has good talent and potential.

That evening, as Lin Yu was leaving the Soul Arena, someone extended an invitation to him.

On one hand, the Soul Arena, after learning that Lin Yu had a Soul Saint-level teacher behind him, abandoned their intention to win him over and instead hoped that Lin Yu would visit the Soul Arena more often in the future and occasionally help them with matches.

I will definitely be coming to the Soul Arena often in the future, so the cooperation with the Soul Arena can continue, but it will only be limited to helping the Soul Arena fight some matches and receiving a commission.

Besides the Soul Arena, there are also some forces in Tiandou City: local academies and families. They have also offered conditions and hope that Lin Yu can join them.

Lin Yu rejected all the invitations. This was because he had a teacher who was a Soul Saint, and his teacher's martial soul was the most violent Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex mutated martial soul.

Therefore, those who had feelings for Lin Yu could only give up in disappointment.

After cooperating with the Soul Arena, Lin Yu found that his opponents had become much "simpler".

They are either beast-type spirit masters or ice-type spirit masters or low-level dragon-type spirit masters whose attributes are countered by themselves.

Under the covert manipulation of the Soul Arena, Lin Yu's assets grew from two or three gold soul coins to thirty gold soul coins in less than a week.

A week passed quickly, and the Tiandou Auction was held as scheduled.

With Liu Erlong clearing the way, even though Lin Yu didn't have enough money for an admission ticket to the Tian Dou Auction, he still swaggered in.

The layout of the Heavenly Dou Auction House is similar to that of the audience seating in the Soul Arena, with a platform below and dozens of rows of chairs around it.

The only difference between this place and the Soul Arena is that the chairs in the auction house are divided into five colors: white, yellow, purple, black, and red.

Five colors, progressing layer by layer from the outside in.

As a Soul Saint, Liu Erlong was able to sit directly in the black area on the second floor.

However, Lin Yu didn't want to attract too much attention, so she chose a relatively secluded spot against the wall.

It would be a lie to say I wasn't a little excited about attending an auction in this world for the first time.

According to the plot of the novel from my previous life, the appearance of an auction scene often means that the protagonist will find a bargain or discover some big secret.

A few minutes before the auction was to begin, five figures entered the auction hall through a side door, taking an unusual approach.

The other party didn't seem to want to attract attention either, and immediately prepared to sit in the corner of the red chairs by the wall as soon as they entered the venue.

They were clearly taken aback when they saw someone sitting in the black seats two rows away from them.

Among the five, a burly middle-aged man with a fierce look was about to step forward to drive them away, but was stopped by an elderly man with graying temples and an air of nobility.

The eight- or nine-year-old boy standing next to the old man smiled at him and then fell silent.

The other two, however, included a middle-aged man with a gentle appearance who recognized Liu Erlong and greeted him.

"Dean Erlong? I didn't expect you to be back at the auction. Are you here to bid on an item, or just to relax?"

Liu Erlong and the other party seemed to know each other, but they weren't very familiar with each other, and Liu Erlong responded somewhat shyly.

"I came to the auction house mainly to accompany my disciple. He wants to buy some dragon-type soul beast meat to nourish his body. He can't get that stuff through regular channels, so he can only try his luck at the auction house. I didn't expect to run into Sect Master Ning here."

Since they had encountered the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School here, Liu Erlong casually introduced his disciple to everyone and also introduced the identities of the five people to Lin Yu.

The one with a gentle and humble demeanor was Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and the old man in black standing beside him was Bone Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

As for the noble-looking old man, he was Emperor Xue Ye of the Tian Dou Empire. The young man beside Emperor Xue Ye was his most beloved prince: Xue Qinghe.

The person following Emperor Xueye was a Soul Douluo-level guard from the Heaven Dou Empire.

After Liu Erlong's introduction, everyone's attention turned to Lin Yu, who was standing next to Liu Erlong.

Unlike others who only noticed Lin Yu because of Liu Erlong's mention, the old man in black beside Ning Fengzhi focused his attention on Lin Yu the moment he entered the auction.

After learning about Lin Yu's martial soul and talent, Emperor Xueye invited Lin Yu and Liu Erlong to the red seats in the first row.

The auctioneer, being quite perceptive, did not interrupt the conversation between Emperor Xueye and the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

He only began to preside over the auction after the corner had quieted down.

Having lived two lives, Lin Yu may not understand social etiquette, but his acting skills, ability to read people's expressions, and reasoning skills are quite good.

He wasn't surprised that Emperor Xueye and Ning Fengzhi could get together, but the fact that Emperor Xueye and Ning Fengzhi appeared together in public was clearly not a simple matter.

In addition, this is a sensitive time. The Clear Sky Sect was just suppressed by the Spirit Hall, and it seems... there's some gossip going on!

He couldn't interfere with the development of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Heaven Dou Royal Family; he could only give a brief report later when the Spirit Hall sent someone to exchange information with him.

While I was pondering, a new item was brought out for auction.

"The next item up for auction is a portion of the finest meat from a hundred-year-old soul beast. There are fifty portions in total, each weighing three jin. The starting bid for each portion is fifty silver soul coins, and the bid increment cannot exceed one silver soul coin."

The auction is still in its initial stages, and the items offered aren't very expensive, but they still cost Lin Yu dearly.

Damn it, if I could go to the intermediate soul master academy in Wuhun City, I wouldn't have to worry about a few pieces of soul beast meat.

When Ghost Douluo from the Spirit Hall comes this month, I must mention to him that I'm not getting enough nutrition here and need to apply for a meal allowance.

Noticing Lin Yu starting to raise the price, Ning Fengzhi, who didn't have much to say because of the presence of outsiders, started a conversation: "Didn't you need the meat of dragon-type soul beasts? Why are you raising the price for this ordinary soul beast meat?"

Lin Yu, who was about to add another silver soul coin, was momentarily speechless when suddenly asked this question.

Lin Yu turned her head and looked at Liu Erlong, who had been lying motionless since arriving at the auction and had no intention of buying anything. She then looked at her own clothes, which were almost white, and gave an awkward but polite smile.

"The meat of dragon-type soul beasts is too potent for my body to absorb, so I buy some meat from ordinary soul beasts and eat the two kinds of meat alternately."

Emperor Xueye, who was standing to the side, understood the hardships of ordinary people. When Ning Fengzhi began to ponder the rationality of Lin Yu's words, he directly tried to win her over.

"My Heaven Dou Empire will not mistreat any genius, child. If you are willing to join the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, I promise to provide you with three catties of meat from a hundred-year-old dragon-type soul beast and ten catties of meat from other hundred-year-old soul beasts every month."
