Global Lords: Me and My Calabash Kiddos

Chapter 86: Chapter 78: Yin Yang Giant Panda

Spirit Spear, Piercing God has been mastered!

An incredibly satisfying force wrapped itself around my mind.

Not even when I got Seven-Aperture Exquisite did I feel like this.

For the first time, Yi Tian sensed the spiritual power within his Sea of Consciousness—an invisible energy, yet connected to body and soul.

After mastering Spirit Secret Skill, Yi Tian’s essence, qi, and spirit became even more abundant. At a single thought, he could unleash Piercing God to ambush his enemies.

Enemies with weak physiques and no spiritual power for protection would have their divine souls utterly destroyed after a sneak attack.

”Congratulations, Lord, for cultivating Spirit Secret Skill. Spiritual Power increased by 20.”

Celestial Dao Coin balance: 31.65 million.

Summer, day eleven.

Temperature still holding at 55°C. Countless Lords lost sleep, sighing at the endless long night...

Yi Tian kept up his daily routine of body refining, qi refining, and martial skills, come rain or shine.

Strength +1, Constitution +1, Spiritual Power +1.

Strength: 384.

Constitution: 385.

Agility: 383.

Spiritual Power: 415.

Spirit: 330.

After breakfast, Yi Tian headed to the western grain grounds.

”Reporting to Lord! The grain harvested last night has all been piled up nearby.”

Fire Dragon trotted over to Yi Tian, reporting in.

”Nice! Good job.”

Yi Tian patted Fire Dragon’s shoulder, grabbed a Celestial Dao Stone, and walked over to a pile of wheat.

”Three hundred thousand kg.”

Yi Tian swept the pile with the Celestial Dao Stone and instantly knew its weight.

Put it all on the shelf!

The price was still 100 Celestial Dao Coins per kg.

After a flurry of operations, he sold a total of 16 million kg of grain, and 1.6 billion Celestial Dao Coins arrived in his account.

The machines roared nonstop; the night shift rested while the day shift picked up the work.

Yi Tian saw gold still at 200 in the auction house. He didn’t care about anything else, just wanted to buy 35 million units of gold.

Preparing to make Elemental Warriors.

1.6 billion Celestial Dao Coins, exchanged for 8 million units of gold.

Plus the previous 15 million units, 23 million units of gold now piled up in the manor.

Lake One shore.

The Yu has been lurking in the lake all this time—a provocation to a Lord’s authority.

Yi Tian was confident in his Seven-Aperture Exquisite. If what the Gui Strategy Manual said was true, the Yu’s 400 Spiritual Power couldn’t hurt him.

”Pop...”

After Yi Tian arrived at the lake, a Yu poked its head out and spewed a stream of black mist at Yi Tian’s silhouette.

Seven-Aperture Exquisite!

On Yi Tian’s shadow, a rainbow-colored light appeared and ground away the Yu’s black mist.

”Spirit Spear, Piercing God!”

Yi Tian’s pupils turned even blacker, pure as ink.

A small spear condensed at Yi Tian’s brow.

This little spear appeared only for a split second—catching its outline—then was impossible to see again with the naked eye.

At Yi Tian’s will, the small spear crossed space and shot into the Yu’s head.

The Yu suddenly emerged from the lake, all body revealed—pitch-black, spiked on the back, only a foot long, looking like an eel.

After being hit by Yi Tian, it reflexively bounced up. For a moment, Yi Tian thought it was going to counterattack.

But to his surprise, the moment the Yu bounced, it shattered into bits—the way it died was just different, that’s all.

”Pop pop pop...”

More Yu poked their heads out of the lake, spewing black mist at Yi Tian.

Seven-Aperture Exquisite took all comers, grinding away everything.

Yi Tian repeatedly sent out Spirit Spear, hunting down the Yu in the lake one by one.

Until finally, no movement from the Yu...

It took a full 33 uses of Spirit Spear, plus the first one, 34 times in total to wipe out all the Yu in Lake One.

Yi Tian’s head buzzed dizzy, struggling to cope with such intensive attacks.

Yi Tian understood—this was his limit. No way he could go take on Lake Two anytime soon.

Even the rainbow curtain of Seven-Aperture Exquisite defense was getting dim.

”Daddy, there’s a monster on the mountain stealing bamboo.”

Second Child ran over, sweating, shouting at Yi Tian.

”Bamboo? The High Mountain Purple Bamboo on Amethyst Mountain?”

Yi Tian was baffled—how did that beast get in?

It’s one thing if Celestial Dao didn’t give a warning, but the Five Tigers should be close to the mountain—none of them noticed?

Even Eastsea Falcon was chilling in a cave nearby.

”Just one? About how strong is it?” Yi Tian asked Second Child.

”Just one. It’s so ugly! Its strength must be about B-level, better than the tigers!” Second Child could use Thousand-Mile Eye and Shunfeng Ear to assess a living creature’s power.

”Let’s go check it out.”

Just one, B-level! No big deal! Yi Tian called Tiger One and dashed for Amethyst Mountain.

On the side of Amethyst Mountain, a fat black-and-white beast was munching fiercely on tender purple bamboo leaves.

It held a purple bamboo branch like a skewer, stripping all the leaves off in one bite.

When Yi Tian reached the mountain, he recognized right away—it was Earth Huaxia’s ”Prison-Bottom-Sitting Beast.”

This Prison-Bottom-Sitting Beast and the one from Earth couldn’t be said to be exactly the same—they were flat-out indistinguishable.

It was two meters tall, fuzzy-eared, jewel-like eyes, the classic panda eye circles, and the same thick, stubby limbs.

The Prison-Bottom-Sitting Beast spotted Tiger One and the Yi Tian, Second Child duo riding Tiger One.

”Rawr...”

The Prison-Bottom-Sitting Beast growled softly. Just when Yi Tian thought it was about to attack, it yanked out a High Mountain Purple Bamboo and took off running.

And, to Yi Tian’s speechless amazement, after a quick dash, the Prison-Bottom-Sitting Beast turned around, yanked out another bamboo, threw it over its shoulder, and sauntered off.

Yi Tian checked the Prison-Bottom-Sitting Beast with Celestial Dao Stone, dumbstruck.

First time seeing a beast with five talents, and it even has a beast skill. Even crazier—it knows Water Mastery.

Yi Tian originally planned to catch the Yin Yang Giant Panda, but after seeing those attributes and talent skills, he hit the brakes fast.

Fight?

Even leaving out other talents, if it popped Divine Bear Bloodline, it’d smash everyone in the territory to death.

Yi Tian also understood now why Five Tigers and Eastsea Falcon hadn’t found the Yin Yang Giant Panda.

They simply didn’t have the strength!

Good thing the Yin Yang Giant Panda was ”kind”—just stealing bamboo, not wrecking the territory or hurting anyone.

Could only watch the Yin Yang Giant Panda swagger down the mountain.

”Daddy, it’s stealing our bamboo—why don’t we stop it?” Second Child asked curiously.

Second Child could guess the Yin Yang Giant Panda’s strength, but couldn’t see its talents—so she wondered this.

In her eyes, Daddy could blast it down with a rainbow beam, easy as pie.

Calabash Sisters don’t allow cute acts!

”That’s a Yin Yang Giant Panda, super powerful. Even if I team up with your sisters, we can’t take it down.” Yi Tian had to let the kiddos know how tough it was—if they saw one again, don’t get reckless.

Tiger One, who had been itching to fight, got forcefully held back by Yi Tian.

Even if he summoned Purple Phoenix Moon Dance now, at best he could kill the Yin Yang Giant Panda. But to tame it? Yi Tian doesn’t have the chops yet.

If taming fails, it would be kill-or-be-killed.

”Okay! We’ll get stronger fast and catch it for Daddy!” Second Child nodded, raising her fist.

”Second Child is the cutest!”

Yi Tian stroked Second Child’s ram-horn braids, then seeing the Yin Yang Giant Panda emerge from the mist, asked: ”Second Child, use Thousand-Mile Eye—see where it went?”

Second Child’s eyes glowed. After looking for a bit, she said: ”It’s at our house gate, eating bamboo. As it eats, it keeps peeking over here with its little eyes.”

As she spoke, Second Child kicked a small stone, getting angrier as she looked.

This is Daddy’s bamboo!

Daddy’s always the one grabbing from others—nobody snatches from Daddy.

”Don’t bother with it! If it comes again, let it eat. We have over a thousand High Mountain Purple Bamboo—enough to feed it for a while.”

Pandas on Earth are known for being picky eaters—only munching certain kinds of bamboo leaves, not just any kind.

This Yin Yang Giant Panda probably only eats top-tier bamboo—at minimum, just the highest quality leaves attract it.

On the way down, Yi Tian kept pondering about the Yin Yang Giant Panda.

”If I can tame the Yin Yang Giant Panda, it won’t just boost our combat power. Those special talents—Lucky Beast, Auspicious Beast—would bring huge benefits to the territory.”

”Seems like the Yin Yang Giant Panda has a thing for bamboo—maybe I can work with that?”

Yi Tian was both fond of and frustrated by the Yin Yang Giant Panda, and hated his own powerlessness.

He arrived at the mountain’s High Mountain Purple Bamboo Forest, and found that apart from the two stalks yanked when the Panda left, the remaining ten-plus had only their tender leaves eaten—no other harm done.

High Mountain Purple Bamboo started out less than a meter tall.

After a month of growth, plus Spirit Rain irrigation, it’s grown into three-meter tender bamboo.

High Mountain Purple Bamboo matures at fifteen months, stands ten meters tall, and keeps growing—can reach up to thirty meters at full maturity.

”Harvest a batch of top-tier bamboo; in the inner territory bamboo grove, cater to its tastes—see if this works. The Yin Yang Giant Panda’s relatively mild, definitely don’t want to miss out.”

Yi Tian planned to give first and take later—let the Panda know his territory has tons of top-tier bamboo, get it to like the place.

As long as the Yin Yang Giant Panda doesn’t go far from the territory, wait until everyone’s stronger before capturing it.

By ten in the morning, Yi Tian officially launched iced watermelons.

Five hundred Celestial Dao Coins per kilo, hot on the shelves.

But these iced watermelons weren’t sold for cash—they were in the exchange zone: one hundred iced watermelons for one Element Core.

Or same-amount Hami melons, sweet melons, in exchange for one Element Core.

A total of 2000 batches, first come, first served.

Since the ice storage wasn’t that big, Yi Tian could only swap 2000 Element Cores this morning.

Another 1500 in the afternoon.

The remaining 1.5 million tons of vine fruit would all be auctioned for Celestial Dao Coins.

Ordinary Lords knew Element Cores were vital, but facing one hundred iced watermelons, still couldn’t help but swap with Wealthiest in the World.

Even Lords from high-level regions would trade, dignity be damned.

The Celestial Dao World has countless regions; almost every top Lord has Element Cores.

There’s always someone who can’t resist culinary cravings.

Besides, so many iced watermelons—can’t finish them all. You can list them in auctions at 500 Celestial Dao Coins per kilo, make a little margin too.

Yi Tian was sure the Lords would trade.

Within three minutes of iced watermelons hitting the shelves, a pile of Element Cores appeared at Yi Tian’s feet.

At this time, some fruit in the orchard and on the mountainside were ready to pick.

Yun Long and Yun Fei organized a crew to start harvesting fruit.

This is where manpower shows its value.

Yi Tian’s fruits grow on trees—it’s from sapling to full age in forty days, and it takes 25–28 days to flower and bear fruit.

Very few Lords in the Celestial Dao World have these kinds of fruit.

Yi Tian decided on 500 Celestial Dao Coins per kilo—the same price as iced watermelons.
