Douluo: One Thought of God and Demon, Inheriting the Dual God Positions of Good and Evil

"Uh, they... might be..."

Bibi Dong was at a loss for words.

Of course, she knew what kind of services those female attendants provided.

On the surface, they merely offered ordinary guiding services, but in reality, once one picked one, they could do anything they wanted as long as no lives were endangered.

Of course, even if something really happened, they would most likely just pay a few Gold Soul Coins in compensation.

Not only that, the Heaven Dou Auction House specifically selected exceptionally beautiful women and brainwashed and trained them from childhood to sell to certain nobles and Soul Masters.

The slave system had already been abolished by the two great empires, but that was only on the surface.

Naturally, these trained beauties came at a high price, reaching tens of thousands of Gold Soul Coins. They were not something ordinary people could afford; only those nouveau riche nobles would indulge in them.

"Xue, hurry over and pick a mask."

Qian Renxin picked up several masks, changing the subject.

At the auction house, one could choose whether to wear a mask to conceal their identity.

After all, some nobles who fancied themselves refined certainly would not want others recognizing them while they were getting handsy with the female attendants.

"Mm, I want this cat one."

Qian Renxue's attention was successfully diverted. She picked up a black-and-white cat mask and put it on.

Qian Renxin, Bibi Dong, and the others each chose masks of their own.

Yue Guan, Gui Mei, and Ling Yuan did not wear masks.

After all, anyone capable of recognizing them could probably identify them just by sensing their Soul Power.

The young female attendant walked up to Qian Renxin.

When she saw the red ribbon on Qian Renxin's chest, she was slightly startled.

The auction house's customers were also ranked. A red ribbon represented proof of assets worth at least one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins, making him a premium customer.

"My lord, the auction is about to begin. Would you like to head there now?"

"No. I have some items to auction. Take me to the appraisal office."

Qian Renxin spoke indifferently.

"Yes."

The young woman nodded slightly and led the way to the appraisal office.

At the same time, a hint of anticipation arose in her heart.

As Qian Renxin's attendant, she would receive a certain commission if he bought or sold any valuable items.

On the way to the appraisal office, many display cabinets lined the sides of the auction house, filled with precious porcelain, calligraphy, and paintings to flaunt its wealth.

Qian Renxin, however, remained utterly unmoved and even found it a little amusing.

In a world with supernatural powers, there were actually people willing to spend enormous sums on such meaningless things.

It was clear just how useless these nobles who held power and wealth had become.

The attendant stopped in front of a room and turned to ask Qian Renxin, "May I ask what kind of item you wish to auction, my lord? Our auction house's appraisers are divided into different specialties."

"Rare medicinal herbs," Qian Renxin answered.

The young woman brought them to Room Three.

Upon pushing open the door, they found a middle-aged man sitting on a sofa, wearing a monocle and studying medicinal herbs in his hands.

"Master Appraiser, this distinguished guest has rare medicinal herbs to sell."

The appraiser looked up. When he saw the red ribbon on Qian Renxin's chest, his interest was piqued, and he sat up straight.

"Young man, you may take out the herbs you have prepared."

"Mm."

Qian Renxin casually selected a red herb and took it out of his Spatial Soul Tool.

The appraiser rose to his feet, adjusted his monocle, and unconsciously leaned forward.

He examined the herb back and forth, yet his furrowed brows did not relax. Instead, they drew tighter and tighter.

"This herb... I've truly never seen it before. Its scent and appearance resemble Fire Spirit Grass, but Fire Spirit Grass could never grow this large, and its leaves would not bear Fire Cloud Flower patterns..."

"Of course, it is definitely not a fake. The rich medicinal fragrance does not lie. This must be a rare, high-quality treasure herb."

The appraiser placed the red treasure herb into a wooden box and respectfully asked Qian Renxin, "My apologies, distinguished guest. My knowledge is shallow, but there is an esteemed senior at today's auction with profound expertise in medicinal herbs. He may know what this is. I just wonder if you would be willing to spare a little time."

"No matter."

Qian Renxin nodded.

His attitude was decent, so there was no need for Yue Guan to put on airs.

"There's no need to look for anyone else. I'll explain what's going on with this Fire Spirit Grass."

Yue Guan stepped forward with a snicker, and casually released his soul rings as well.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black!

The young Soul Elder girl stared wide-eyed in shock.

Although she worked at the Heaven Dou Auction House and had seen many powerful nobles, the guest she had just guided turned out to be a Titled Douluo. That was more than enough to leave her stunned.

"A Titled Douluo?"

The appraiser was startled. He also recognized the other man's martial soul. "Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum... Are you Chrysanthemum Douluo of Spirit Hall?"

Although he had never met Yue Guan, Immortal Herb martial souls were rare to begin with. Coupled with the cultivation of a Titled Douluo, it was enough for him to guess Yue Guan's identity.

"That's right."

Yue Guan snatched the Fire Spirit Grass over and explained it point by point. "What you said earlier was correct. This is indeed a Fire Spirit Grass, except it has reached an age of ten thousand years and undergone some changes in appearance."

"Ten thousand years!"

The appraiser jumped in fright.

Ten-thousand-year medicinal herbs were things one could only hope to encounter by chance. After appraising items at the Heaven Dou Auction House for so long, he had only seen a handful.

Of course, he also knew Yue Guan would not deceive him. An elder of Spirit Hall would not ruin his reputation over such a matter.

Moreover, the medicinal fragrance of this herb truly was astonishing. He simply had not dared to consider that it might be ten thousand years old at first.

"Mm... In that case, the starting bid for this ten-thousand-year Fire Spirit Grass will be three hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins, with each increase no less than ten thousand Gold Soul Coins."

The appraiser gave a fair price.

The price of ten-thousand-year medicinal herbs was no secret. They generally sold for around six hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins. After all, they could be used to make several doses of top-grade medicine and could even aid a Soul Douluo's cultivation.

Yue Guan nodded. He was clearly satisfied with the price as well.

The appraiser respectfully said, "Come to think of it, it's quite interesting. To meet two Titled Douluo in a single day has truly broadened my horizons."

"Oh? Who was the other one? Could it be the senior you mentioned earlier?"

Qian Renxin asked curiously.

"That's right, sir. That person is also a renowned Titled Douluo—the Poison Douluo."

The appraiser continued, "He came here today to appraise five bottles of poison for this auction."

"So that's why Old Poison Master wasn't at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. He came to Heaven Dou City to have some fun."

Yue Guan chuckled. "I wonder which room he's in. When we go looking for him later, he'd better not have called in a few attendants, or that'll be awkward."

Qian Renxin became interested as well and asked the Soul Elder girl beside him, "Can you find out Senior Poison's room number? I'd like to pay him a visit while I'm at it."

Reuniting with Dugu Yan, the Auction Begins

"It can be done, but we'll need to ask Poison Douluo first. The auction house cannot casually disclose someone else's information."

The young female attendant hurriedly replied.

"Then go quickly." Qian Renxin nodded.

A short while later, Dugu Bo personally arrived at the appraisal area, his hearty laughter ringing out from the hall before he even entered.

"I never expected that a casual trip to an auction house would be such a coincidence. To think I'd run into you here, little friend."

He was in excellent spirits.

After initially forming his Soul Core, his improvement had clearly been tremendous. The poison within him was also rapidly growing under the nourishment of his Soul Power. He was no longer the disgrace of Titled Douluo.

"I think it's quite a coincidence too. I went specifically to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well but didn't see Senior Poison. Yet I ran into you while selling a medicinal herb."

Qian Renxin said with a smile as well.

"I'm usually too lazy to leave my cultivation grounds. If this girl hadn't been bored, I wouldn't have come to the Heaven Dou Auction House."

Dugu Bo nodded too. "Some of the herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well can indeed be sold. We can't use them all if we keep them there. If I weren't afraid of attracting unwanted attention, I would have sold them long ago in exchange for soul bones."

Ownership of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had long since belonged to Qian Renxin, so naturally he had no objections.

The main issue was that Dugu Bo did not dare sell certain precious herbs he recognized.

Though he was a Titled Douluo, if this supreme treasure land, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, were truly exposed to the world, he estimated that he would have a hard time defending it.

"Brother Xin!"

Dugu Yan, who had been hiding behind Dugu Bo, pounced toward him.

A year and a half had passed. She had grown quite a bit taller, and much of the childishness had faded from her face. With the support of her martial soul, she already looked like a young girl.

The seductive charm unique to Snake Martial Soul masters had begun to emerge. It differed slightly from the bewitching allure of Demon Fox martial soul masters; beneath her beauty seemed to lurk a chill, cold and breathtaking.

Yet Dugu Yan was all smiles at the moment as she threw herself into Qian Renxin's arms.

"Long time no see, Yan'er."

Qian Renxin rubbed her head. Her long green hair was tied into a ponytail, making Dugu Yan look bright and youthful. She was still too young, however, to display the charm of a long-legged Mature Woman.

At his words, Dugu Yan puffed out her cheeks and lightly punched his chest in mild anger.

"Hmph, you clearly promised to come see me often, but you didn't visit even once for over a year!"

"I've had things to deal with at Spirit Hall lately. Didn't I come to see you now?"

Qian Renxin replied smoothly.

He really had been busy lately. The Power of Good and Evil Origin could only be cultivated at Spirit Hall.

Standing nearby, Qian Renxue frowned slightly.

Seeing Dugu Yan nestled in his arms, along with that "Brother Xin" address, left her feeling somewhat intrigued.

She stepped forward, claimed one of Qian Renxin's arms, and held it against her chest as she looked at Dugu Yan with faint hostility.

"Brother, who is she?"

Dugu Yan noticed her as well.

But she was not afraid in the slightest. She rubbed her head against Qian Renxin's chest, her hands hanging around the back of his neck as her whole body clung to him. Sticking out her little tongue playfully, she said, "How can you ask someone else's name without saying your own first? That's rude."

"You..."
