Chapter 113 Soto City
On the open ground outside the Stone Forest.
Seeing that Tang Hao and his son had made arrangements for their next destination, Dugu Bo grabbed Dugu Yan's wrist and prepared to take his leave.
He wanted to hurry to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and use his savings to buy a soul bone.
I hope to exchange for the Crimson Pearl Immortal Herb with Tang Chuan as soon as possible.
But after taking only a couple of steps, Dugu Yan couldn't take another step. She tugged at Dugu Bo's sleeve and shook it, saying, "Grandpa, I don't want to go back!"
"I want to go to Soto City with Tang Chuan and the others, okay?"
"Yan Yan?"
Dugu Bo frowned, wanting to refuse, but then he noticed Tang Chuan and Tang San discussing the plans for Soto City not far away, and he started to make his own plans.
It's good that Yanyan stays.
She wouldn't have to follow him around, and she could also maintain a good relationship with Tang Chuan.
Thinking of this, he walked up to Snake Granny Chaotianxiang, lowered his posture and cupped his hands, saying, "Snake Granny, I have some private matters to attend to later and it is inconvenient for me to bring Yanyan with me. Could you please take care of her for a while?"
"She's about the same age as Yiran, so she can keep me company."
Dugu Bo chose to entrust Dugu Yan to the Dragon and Snake couple instead of Tang Hao and Tang Chuan because, unlike Tang Hao and his son whose whereabouts were uncertain, the Snake couple had the Dragon and Snake family and the Academy to back them up.
It's safer than having them run around with me, and I'm not afraid they'll mistreat Yan Yan.
Moreover, it would make Tang Chuan feel that he trusted him, so that Yan Yan would have a good relationship with him in the future, and he would be more willing to ask for the Crimson Pearl Immortal Herb when exchanging the soul bone for it.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured."
Chao Tianxiang smiled and agreed, "We will take good care of her."
Dugu Yan beamed and waved to Dugu Bo: "Grandpa, hurry back! I'll be waiting for you in Soto City!"
Thank you!
After thanking Chaotianxiang, Dugu Bo gave Dugu Yan a few more instructions before turning and leaving. His figure transformed into a streak of green light as he sped off towards the direction of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.
He wondered if all his savings would be enough to buy a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone.
The group split into two groups here.
Tang Hao, Tang Chuan, Tang San, along with the Dragon Duke and Snake Granny, led Meng Yiran and Dugu Yan on their journey towards Soto City.
We traveled along the way, stopping and starting frequently.
Several days later, the towering walls of Soto could be seen in the distance.
The words "Soto City" are engraved on the gray-blue city bricks.
As one of the two most important cities in the Kingdom of Barak, Soto was far more prosperous and bustling than Notting.
People were coming and going at the city gate.
The flow of carriages and people was endless, with caravans pulling horse-drawn carriages, groups of soul masters traveling together, and children jumping and skipping, making it very lively.
As soon as you enter the city gate, a wave of lively atmosphere hits you.
The street food stalls were steaming, the sweet aroma of sugar cakes mingling with the oily fragrance of roasted meat, and various signs hung on the shops on both sides of the street.
There were weapon shops selling weapons, pharmacies buying and selling herbs, and wooden boards with advertisements that read, "[The Windwalker Soul Hunter Team is recruiting two support-type soul masters of the Soul Elder level or above. Excellent benefits offered]..."
Various signs and flags fluttered in the wind.
"It's so lively!"
Tang San was dazzled by the sights and occasionally exclaimed in quiet surprise, "Brother, Soto City is much more lively than Notting City!"
Meng Yiran held Dugu Yan's hand and strolled around with great interest.
Pointing to the sugar cake stall, she asked her grandmother to buy her some sugar cakes, and didn't forget to share some with Tang San and Tang Chuan.
Tang Hao remained silent, habitually scanning his surroundings to ensure there were no potential dangers.
As Tang Chuan walked, he observed the flow of people and the layout of Soto City, and began to sketch out the locations for Tang's Takeout and Tang's Iced Tea.
"Dad, let's find a hotel to stay in!"
"In a bit, Xiao San and I will wander around Soto City to see if there are any suitable shops... preferably near the city center, so that we can serve the entire city of Soto."
"Okay, whatever you say."
Tang Hao nodded and walked along the street. Soon he spotted a hotel with a sign that read "Soto Arena".
It's quite large, and it looks relatively clean.
Tang San was constantly on the move, his sleeves filled with pre-made Blue Silver Bind seeds. He would occasionally use his hidden weapon skills to flick the seeds, which would land in the cracks and soil of the cobblestone streets.
The pale silver grass seeds took root in the soil and sprouted tender shoots.
Without Tang San unleashing his first spirit skill, their growth rate is relatively slower, but it is also more concealed.
After all, Blue Silver Bind is everywhere on the continent, so who would care?
Following behind, Long Gong Meng Shu watched Tang San's little actions and said to his wife Chao Tianxiang with a smile, "Little San really knows how to use the Blue Silver Bind in his second spirit skill."
Chaotianxiang nodded in agreement: "Indeed!"
"The Blue Silver Bind, a universally acknowledged useless spirit, is surprisingly well-developed in the hands of these two brothers. They truly deserve to be the children of Clear Sky Douluo."
Dugu Yan looked at Tang San curiously and whispered to Tang Chuan, "Tang Chuan, doesn't your brother's cultivation of so many Blue Silver Binds consume his soul power?"
"The consumption is not significant."
"The biggest advantage of Blue Silver Bind is that it consumes little soul power."
Tang Chuan smiled and explained that this was the basis for his opening of Tang's Takeout. Compared to other soul masters who would exhaust their soul power after releasing a few spirit skills, Blue Silver Bind was uniquely gifted in this regard.
The group chatted and walked around, and soon entered the hotel.
Tang Hao went forward and booked seven rooms. Just as he was about to pay, Long Gong snatched the gold soul coins and handed them over: "Your Majesty, let me do it!"
"Don't stand on ceremony with me!"
Tang Hao reached out to stop him, but Meng Shu dodged his hand and stuffed the gold soul coins into the hotel waiter's hand.
Thank you.
Since they couldn't stop him, Tang Hao didn't refuse too much, but simply thanked them, acknowledging their kindness.
Tang Hao doesn't like owing favors, but considering that the other party has been quite sensible along the way, he'll let him pay for the accommodation if he's willing to.
The waiter took the money and handed over seven keys.
He smiled and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the rooms are all on the second floor. They are very quiet. Please feel free to call me if you need anything!"
Everyone handed out keys and went back to their rooms.
Tang Chuan originally planned to invite Tang San to go out and explore Soto City together, to investigate the shops and business situation in Soto City.
As soon as I stepped outside, I saw Dugu Yan and Meng Yiran walking together from the end of the corridor.
Dugu Yan said to Tang Chuan with a grin, "Tang Chuan, Soto City is so big, wouldn't it be more efficient if we split up and explored it?"
"You and I will go to the east of the city, and Xiao San and Yi Ran will go to the west of the city, how about that?"
Before Tang Chuan could speak, Dugu Yan continued, "I just asked the hotel staff, and they said the commercial street in the east of the city is particularly bustling with a wide variety of shops. You might be able to find a suitable shop there!"
Her purple eyes shone brightly, filled with anticipation.
Meng Yiran quickly chimed in, saying to Tang San, who opened the door upon hearing the commotion, "Little San, let's go for a stroll in the west of the city. The waiter said there's a vegetable market and many residential buildings there..."
"Besides."
"The waiter said there are many blacksmith shops in the west of the city. You should be quite familiar with these, right?"
"Shall we go over there together and take a look?"
Meng Yiran, being thoughtful, found a reason that Tang San found hard to refuse: "On the way here, you said you would make a set of hidden weapons specifically for me!"
