Chapter 45 Lingbing City [ask for monthly ticket]
The next afternoon.
In the far north, Lingbing City.
This city, named after Lingbing Douluo, who created the Soul Contract, was built on the edge of the far north ten thousand years ago.
Various soul beasts can be seen everywhere here. Like Tiandou City, which is adjacent to the Star Dou Great Forest, the atmosphere of nature is very rich.
However, due to the temperature, Lingbing City basically only has ice-attributed soul beasts, which is still a bit different from the soul beast paradise like the Star Dou Great Forest.
Although Lingbing City is not very large, as the only city named after a person, its status and significance in the Douluo Federation are self-evident.
The weather is very good today, the sun is shining in the sky, and even if you only wear a single layer of clothes, you won't feel too cold.
At the west gate of Lingbing City, a dusty middle-aged man with two children appeared.
The middle-aged man took a deep breath and cursed in a low voice: "What bad luck!
" I've been riding soul-guided planes for most of my life, and this is the first time I've encountered an accident!
No, I have to find a place to shower and change clothes before going to the Snow Empress.
Otherwise, I'll look so dirty and people will think I'm a beggar!"
These three people were Chu Feng, Huo Yuhao, and Gu Yuena.
The three of them set off on a soul-guided plane this morning, but unexpectedly, when they were about to reach Lingbing City, the plane suddenly malfunctioned.
That's ten thousand meters above the sky!
Fortunately, Chu Feng was there, otherwise today would have been:
Lingbing Douluo dies, and this book ends!
Huo Yuhao was also quite speechless. He couldn't help but think of Tang Wulin, the soul-guided train killer.
Could it be that I'm a soul-guided plane killer?
Ugh!
This is my first time riding a soul-guided plane. This is all an accident!
Gu Yuena looked at Chu Feng, whose expression was dismal, and bowed.
"Today, I'm truly grateful to Tower Master Chu Feng."
Chu Feng waved his hand, saying, "You're welcome. It's just my job."
Chu Feng adjusted his hair and said to Huo Yuhao, "Yuhao, do you see what I said?
From now on, I'll have to accompany you personally!
If I hadn't been here today, you'd be in danger!"
Ever since Huo Yuhao led his team to victory in all four championships at the Tianhai Alliance Competition, he had become a celebrity throughout the Douluo Federation.
Although the Tianhai Alliance Competition was limited to a few coastal cities in the east, Huo Yuhao had defeated Qian Gu Zhuo Jue of the Spirit Transmission Academy in both the Soul Competition and the individual competition.
This was quite remarkable!
Therefore, Huo Yuhao naturally became a celebrity in the Douluo Federation.
Huo Yuhao also replaced Qiangu Zhuojue in the sixth place on the Young Talents List.
Anyone who can make it onto the Young Talents List will surely become a prominent figure on the continent in the future.
Huo Yuhao's appearance has extraordinary significance for the talent pool and talent education of the entire eastern coastal city.
Since then, in order to prevent anyone from harming Huo Yuhao, Chu Feng decided to personally protect Huo Yuhao.
After returning to East China Academy, Huo Yuhao also received olive branches from various forces.
Of course, he rejected them one by one. After all, he had no intention of leaving East China Academy for the time being.
Moreover, not long after the Tianhai Alliance Competition ended, a piece of news spread like wildfire.
The Soul Pagoda has developed a Dragon Transformation Pill that can allow souls to possess the blood of the dragon clan!
At the Soul Competition of the Tianhai Alliance Competition, Huo Yuhao's Ice Silkworm Soul was the best example!
This news immediately spread like wildfire throughout the Douluo Federation, with many powerful families flocking to the Spirit Pagoda to verify the results.
After witnessing the Spirit Pagoda's demonstration of its effectiveness, these families eagerly splurge on the Dragon Transformation Pill.
However, to protect Huo Yuhao, the Spirit Pagoda publicly announced that the Dragon Transformation Pill was crafted by its chief alchemist.
The fact that Huo Yuhao was the mastermind behind the Dragon Transformation Pill was known only to the Spirit Pagoda's top brass.
Consequently, Huo Yuhao had become a shining star, both publicly and covertly.
Huo Yuhao and his companions entered Lingbing City, where pedestrians and spirit beasts alike streamed incessantly.
Shops of all sizes lined the streets, with vendors eagerly hawking their wares.
Looking out at the snow-dappled city, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but exclaim,
"Lingbing City truly deserves to be called, alongside Tiandou City, the 'model city for human-spirit-beast relations!'"
"Living here feels like returning to nature!" Gu Yuena exclaimed with a sigh of admiration.
Suddenly, a sturdy young man in a hurry bumped into Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao asked in confusion,
"Excuse me, young man, are there any events happening in the west of the city today?
Why are you all rushing there so quickly?"
The sturdy young man gave Huo Yuhao and the other two a strange look.
"You're from out of town, right? It's normal you don't know. Today, the Lingbing Auction House is holding a Heaven-level auction.
The Lingbing Auction is Lingbing City's largest trading venue, and these Heaven-level auctions don't happen every few years.
Of course, auctions of this magnitude don't really concern us ordinary people.
For us ordinary people, during Heaven-level auctions, the ground floor of the Lingbing Auction House is free to enter!"
" Back then, everyone will be able to buy or exchange items freely!
And I heard there are quite a few ten-thousand-year-old spiritual objects being auctioned today!"
In the Sea of Spirits, the Evil Emperor's eyes lit up: "Yuhao, let's go and rob him!"
Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes: "Evil Emperor, this is a civilized society.
You and I are civilized people. Don't always want to steal other people's things!"
The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm also laughed: "This Evil Emperor is just a big roughneck. He's used to being barbaric. He can't change!"
The Evil Emperor frowned: "Tianmeng, I think you've forgotten your roots!
Have you forgotten who gave you the herbs to synthesize the Dragon Transformation Pill?"
Tianmeng retorted: "Didn't Yuhao give you all the prizes from the Tianmeng Alliance Competition, as well as the herbs Chu Feng gave you."
The Evil Emperor curled his lips: "You didn't give them to me! You're just a lazy guy who just sits back and enjoys the fruits of others' labor!"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm: "Hmm... that makes sense!"
Huo Yuhao said to Chu Feng, "Teacher, why don't you find a place to shower first?
Gu Yuena and I will go to this auction and browse around. Maybe we can find the precious herbs I need."
Chu Feng immediately refused, "No, Lingbing City isn't completely safe either.
I'd better go with you!"
Soon after, at the Lingbing Auction House,
Huo Yuhao slowly stopped. He looked at the largest building in the west of the city and couldn't help but sigh,
"How magnificent! This is much larger than the Donghai Auction House in Donghai City!"
Chu Feng smiled and said, "Don't underestimate Lingbing City's small size. Its status and significance in the Federation are enormous.
And with the Snow Empress personally in charge, how can Donghai City compare?"
Chu Feng turned and said to Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena,
"Come on, let's go in and see if we can find the herbs we need."
After entering the Lingbing Auction House, the noisy outside world was immediately blocked out.
Huo Yuhao and the others' attention was immediately drawn to the huge golden hall on the first floor!
