Chapter 254: Auction News for the Maid with a Body Soul Spirit, Heading to the Heaven Dou Auction House
After the twenty-fifth live stream ended.
In the following days, Lin Yu first used the connections of the Jiuxin Haitang and the Bilin Family to search for any special Soul Guidance metals that could be used to manufacture the Fixed Soul Guidance Cannon.
Meanwhile, Lin Yu's main focus was on refining medicinal pills and stockpiling them.
As for the three families that had not yet arrived in Heaven Dou Imperial City—the Yu Clan, the Po Clan, and the Min Clan—Lin Yu's plan was not to arrange a base for them within the Imperial City.
That would be too expensive and wasteful!
He knew that, just like the capital of China in his past life, the land prices in Heaven Dou Imperial City were absurdly expensive.
Trying to arrange a base like the Li Clan had done in the Imperial City would cost too much money.
Since Lin Yu was planning to establish a force, he thought it would be more cost-effective to establish a sect outside Heaven Dou Imperial City and house the three families within that sect.
Of course, it wasn't just the Po Clan, Min Clan, and Yu Clan. If the Li Clan, the Bilin Family, and the Jiuxin Haitang Family wanted to, they could also be moved to the sect.
However, creating a massive sect, because Lin Yu's goal was to establish one on the scale of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, would still require more money than he currently had, even with the help of the Yu Clan's expertise in construction and the wealth of the Jiuxin Haitang Family.
Therefore, Lin Yu still needed to figure out how to raise enough money.
In Lin Yu's view, the best way to make money was still through alchemy!
With half a year until the next live stream Q&A, Lin Yu planned to use the Qiankun Ding Martial Soul during this time to refine enough medicinal pills.
Then, after the next live stream Q&A, he would advertise in the live stream, announcing to the entire Douluo Continent that he was going to establish a market outside Heaven Dou Imperial City to sell medicinal pills.
At that point, Lin Yu was confident that this news would explode across the continent!
Afterward, he would just wait to collect money!
During the process of refining medicinal pills, the Po Clan, Yu Clan, and Min Clan all moved their families to Heaven Dou Imperial City. Once Lin Yu had arranged matters with the three families, he summoned Yang Wudi, Niu Gao, and Bai He.
He then shared his plans with them.
Yang Wudi, Niu Gao, and Bai He naturally agreed with Lin Yu's arrangements.
After all, a family's base wouldn't compare to the resources of a large sect. As for whether Lin Yu could establish such a sect, the effects of the medicinal pills had already been demonstrated in the live stream. Even if a single bottle of pills cost a million Gold Soul Coins, there would still be plenty of people eager to buy.
So the three of them had no doubt that Lin Yu could establish such a large sect.
Under Lin Yu's guidance, the four major clans and the Jiuxin Haitang Family quickly selected an area outside Heaven Dou Imperial City and began constructing the market there.
Although for Lin Yu, selling medicinal pills could be done anywhere—even in the Dugu Mansion—it would be too crowded there if he were to announce that he was selling medicinal pills. It was better to have a dedicated space for that.
Moreover, Lin Yu planned to establish a large sect, which would include courses on teaching disciples how to refine medicinal pills. If any disciples ended up refining low-quality pills, these pills couldn't be sold to major forces, as they wouldn't accept them.
So, a dedicated location for low-quality pills was necessary, and this market could serve as a large trading hub in the future.
It wasn't a loss anyway!
However, while refining the pills, one day Lin Yu suddenly received shocking news from Dugu Yan.
Heaven Dou Auction House had somehow gotten its hands on a batch of maids with Body Soul Spirits, and they were about to auction them off!
"Yan Yan, are you serious? The Heaven Dou Auction House has obtained a batch of maids with Body Soul Spirits to auction off?"
After hearing this news from Dugu Yan in the alchemy room, Lin Yu immediately stopped refining pills and frowned slightly.
"Yes, it's true. The Heaven Dou Grand Auction House has sent invitations to many prestigious forces within Heaven Dou Imperial City," Dugu Yan replied, nodding. She then handed Lin Yu an invitation letter.
Taking the invitation, Lin Yu briefly glanced through it, his eyes widening in surprise.
The Heaven Dou Auction House had really gotten a batch of maids with Body Soul Spirits from somewhere. Although they didn't specify how many, since they said a "batch," it certainly wouldn't be fewer than three!
In the original story, the Heaven Dou Grand Auction House had only auctioned off a single cat-eared maid. Now, they had obtained more Body Soul Spirit maids than in the original story.
Could it be because the live stream exposed the potential of Body Soul Spirits?
But if they knew the potential of these maids, why hadn't the forces behind the auction house just taken them for themselves?
Was it because these maids with Body Soul Spirits had low innate soul power?
Lin Yu rubbed his chin thoughtfully, considering this possibility.
But regardless of what other forces thought, he was certainly interested in acquiring these Body Soul Spirit maids.
After all, he knew how Body Soul Spirits evolved, and he had the ability to help these maids' Body Soul Spirits evolve. Plus, he was about to establish a force and was in desperate need of manpower.
"Three days from now?" Lin Yu muttered as he looked at the date on the invitation.
"Yan Yan, I plan to attend this auction. What about you?" Lin Yu asked, turning to Dugu Yan.
"Well, grandpa certainly won't go, so I'll accompany you. I'm curious to see what kind of Body Soul Spirit maids they're auctioning off this time," Dugu Yan replied with a smile, shaking her short purple hair.
Three days later, the Heaven Dou Auction House's auction was held as scheduled.
Lin Yu arrived early and took Dugu Yan with him to the auction house.
When they reached the Heaven Dou Auction House, Lin Yu looked up at the building in front of them, which was shaped like an inverted hemisphere, snow-white with a hammer-shaped sign at the top.
He led Dugu Yan inside.
