Plans for the Future, Heading to Heaven Dou City

After careful consideration, Jiang Taichu decided to move to Heaven Dou City.

Heaven Dou City was the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire.

All kinds of powers were based there.

The Heaven Dou Imperial Family, the Dugu Family, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect...

The vast majority of these famous powers on the continent were based in Heaven Dou City.

It would also be easier for Jiang Taichu to obtain heavenly treasures there.

Heaven Dou City had many trade channels, far more than any other city could match.

Besides, the Dugu Family had settled in Heaven Dou City, and Dugu Yan should be studying at Heaven Dou Royal Academy by now.

If Jiang Taichu wanted to obtain the Immortal Herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he could not avoid Dugu Yan.

Only through Dugu Yan would he have a chance to meet Dugu Bo and gain access to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

"Ah Yin, let's go to Heaven Dou City."

Jiang Taichu spoke to Ah Yin beside him.

"By the way, remember to wear a veil to cover your face. You're too beautiful, and that could easily attract trouble."

As if he had just remembered something, Jiang Taichu reminded Ah Yin.

If Ah Yin appeared in Heaven Dou City with her beauty, someone would certainly come looking for trouble before long.

Without absolute strength, Jiang Taichu held to one principle: the less trouble, the better.

"Mm, Ah Yin understands."

Ah Yin answered softly.

A few days later.

A delicate, handsome youth and a blue-clad woman wearing a blue veil appeared in Heaven Dou City.

"Young master, it seems we don't have much money."

Ah Yin lowered her head and whispered in Jiang Taichu's ear.

Although they had arrived in Heaven Dou City, given their finances, they probably could not afford even one night at an inn.

Jiang Taichu stroked his chin, thinking about how to make money.

"If Ah Yin and I want to make money, we'll have to rely on the Blue Silver Emperor's abilities."

"And the Blue Silver Emperor's most powerful ability..."

Jiang Taichu's eyes lit up, and he eagerly looked at Ah Yin beside him.

"Ah Yin, I have a great idea."

"We both have the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline. Our life force is incredibly vast, and it recovers very quickly."

"In that case, we can try condensing that life force into drops of Life Essence."

"From what I can tell, the Life Essence we condense should have powerful healing and restorative effects. We can sell it for money."

"For Soul Masters, this Life Essence would be tremendously useful, no less valuable than a second life. We're sure to get a good price for it."

Hearing this, Ah Yin gave Jiang Taichu a look of admiration.

"Young master, Ah Yin was so stupid before. I never knew how to use my abilities to make money."

Just how vast was the Blue Silver Emperor's life force? It was practically endless.

In the entire history of Douluo Continent, the Blue Silver Emperor was the only kind of Soul Beast whose true body could survive after making a sacrifice.

All the people of Douluo Continent were the Blue Silver Emperor's subjects.

Not only did the Blue Silver Emperor possess an overflowing life force of her own, she could also borrow life force from Blue Silver Grass.

"You're not stupid, Ah Yin. You're a Soul Beast, so it's only natural that you don't understand how things work in the human world."

Ah Yin nodded.

"Young master, my age has now recovered to nine hundred and ninety-nine years. I'm far stronger than you, so leave the task of condensing Life Essence to me."

Ah Yin patted her full chest and smiled as she volunteered to take on the task.

"By the way, young master, you can take me into your Martial Soul."

"My recovery speed will double in there, which will let me condense Life Essence faster."

Ah Yin continued.

"Is that really possible?"

Jiang Taichu was delighted.

A contracted Soul Beast's recovery speed doubled inside the Myriad Beasts Record. That was good news indeed.

"All right, Ah Yin. I'll take you into the Myriad Beasts Record in a moment."

"Leave selling the Life Essence for money to me. Just focus on condensing it."

"Mm-hmm, I will." Ah Yin obediently nodded again and again like a chick pecking at rice, looking utterly adorable.

After that, Jiang Taichu took Ah Yin into his Myriad Beasts Record.

"I'll have Life Essence soon. Now I need to buy some containers."

Jiang Taichu wandered along Heaven Dou City's shopping streets, looking for containers suitable for holding Life Essence.

His first choice was a porcelain jade bottle, which could keep the Life Essence's life force from dissipating for no reason.

Eventually, Jiang Taichu stopped in front of a porcelain jade shop called Hundred Years of Good Reviews.

"This is the one."

Jiang Taichu walked in.

As soon as he entered, he saw nothing but white and green porcelain jade.

Some pieces were bottles, while others were jewelry...

The shopkeeper was a kindly looking old man nearing sixty.

When the kindly old shopkeeper saw a delicate little boy with handsome features walk in, he could not help feeling curious.

"Little one, are you lost?"

Jiang Taichu was momentarily taken aback.

"No, grandpa. I'm here to buy porcelain jade bottles."

The kindly old shopkeeper saw that although Jiang Taichu was as delicate as a jade doll, he was dressed in plain clothes.

"Little one, my porcelain jade bottles aren't cheap. Are you sure you can afford them?"

"I don't have any money." Jiang Taichu then added:

"But I'm a Soul Master. I can trade something for them."

When the kindly old shopkeeper heard that Jiang Taichu was a Soul Master, he found it hard to believe.

From Jiang Taichu's height and appearance, he looked like a child of seven or eight, yet he had become a Soul Master so young.

Could this be one of those legendary geniuses?

What the kindly old shopkeeper did not know was that Jiang Taichu had only recently awakened his Martial Soul.

It was just that after he fused with the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline, his height and appearance had changed somewhat, making him look like a child of seven or eight.

"All right, little genius. What do you want to trade with this old grandpa?"

The kindly old shopkeeper asked.

Under the kindly old shopkeeper's gaze, Jiang Taichu slowly held out his palm and began condensing his life force into a drop of Life Essence, which appeared in the center of his palm.

"Grandpa, this is what I'm offering in exchange."

"I can see that you're nearing sixty and that your body is evidently giving you some trouble. This drop of essence can't extend your life, but it can make you stronger and let you live more comfortably."

"Would that be enough for a trade?"

"Yes!"

The kindly old shopkeeper answered at once.

He was not a Soul Master, just an ordinary person.

Now that he was nearing sixty, his body was already frail.

If what Jiang Taichu said was true, then this drop of silvery-blue liquid was worth a great deal.

"All right, open your mouth."

Jiang Taichu looked straight at the kindly old shopkeeper as he spoke.

The kindly old shopkeeper obediently opened his mouth. Jiang Taichu circulated his Soul Power, and the Life Essence entered the old man's mouth.

After swallowing it, the kindly old shopkeeper suddenly felt strength coursing through his body, and his body grew stronger.

It felt as though he had become ten years younger.
