Looking at the data panel that had suddenly appeared, delight flashed through Li Xuan's eyes.
Besides these abilities, he had gained many other things as well.
For example, Advanced Archery, Advanced Forging, Advanced Soul Tool Crafting Knowledge, martial soul knowledge surpassing that of a master, and knowledge of five thousand medicinal herbs.
This knowledge of five thousand medicinal herbs was not merely being able to recognize them.
It covered their appearance, harvesting, cultivation, medicinal effects, and many other aspects.
The amount of knowledge was incredibly extensive.
Of course.
What Li Xuan was most curious about was Soul Tool crafting.
After all, in the future Douluo Continent, many extraordinarily powerful Soul Tools would appear, each with remarkable might.
Although the Advanced Soul Tool Crafting Knowledge Li Xuan had just obtained was somewhat incomplete and leaned toward material identification, with very few methods for crafting Soul Tools.
However.
That did not mean there were no crafting methods. As long as he had the materials, he could now make Spatial Spirit Tools and defensive Soul Tools.
Li Xuan even decided to try crafting something tonight.
After all, his Natural Space contained many Space Rings and all kinds of materials.
Even if he did not have enough, he could buy more with money. What he lacked least right now was money.
Having encountered so many "good" people, his money could already be piled into a small mountain, so he did not care about the expense at all.
"Big Sister, Li Xuan, what are you doing?"
A soft, sweet voice rang out as Shui Yue'er poked her head out from the living room and looked at the two of them.
When she saw Li Xuan and Shui Bing'er standing by the window, staring outside, she hurried over in confusion.
But when she saw the empty view beyond the window, Shui Yue'er turned her little head toward Li Xuan and her sister, her big eyes filled with puzzlement.
"Is there something outside? Why are you both looking out there?"
"Nothing. I was thirsty, so I went to get some water."
Li Xuan waved his hand and walked toward the living room.
Her sister, Shui Bing'er, also quickened her tiny steps and followed after him.
Shui Yue'er was left behind, blinking her large eyes in confusion as she looked left and right, then puffed out her little cheeks.
"They must be hiding something from me. Hmph."
Shui Yue'er followed after them with small steps as well. Although nothing happened afterward, she still felt that something was off.
But she could not figure out what was wrong, so she could only foolishly let her imagination run wild.
Elsewhere, in the interrogation basement.
After learning the full extent of the schemes, the Family Head said with a solemn expression, "The Qin Family is truly insidious. Their schemes came one after another. If not for Li Xuan, I might really have fallen into their trap."
"Yes, my lord. Li Xuan truly is extraordinary. At the same time and place, we would not have discovered anything, yet Li Xuan easily caught the crucial clues. We have no choice but to admire him."
The Guard Captain praised him repeatedly. Thinking of how Li Xuan had rescued Shui Bing'er alone, he admired him from the bottom of his heart.
"What do you think about taking Li Xuan as my godson?" the Family Head suddenly suggested.
"This... it would be good, but the one thing we need to be careful about is that Li Xuan's origins are unknown. We do not know which family he comes from," the Guard Captain said with a frown.
"That is indeed something we need to consider. Come on. I was planning to thank him anyway. Bring out some Spirit Power Wine specially made for children and elders. I'll have a few drinks with him and get him drunk, then ask for some information," the Family Head said confidently.
"Family Head, your tolerance is so great that none of us can compare to you. And Spirit Power Wine is expensive. It only benefits the body, but it also makes people more likely to get drunk. If you drink with Li Xuan, he will probably be passed out in no time," the Guard Captain said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"Hehe, I really am bullying him a bit. I'll give him more gifts afterward as thanks. I can't let him help me for nothing."
After thinking it over, the Family Head made his decision. He had people prepare many gifts and instructed the kitchen to make a lavish feast.
Only then did he invite Li Xuan over.
What followed was naturally an outpouring of gratitude toward Li Xuan, along with a large pile of gifts, leaving Li Xuan rather helpless.
Unable to refuse such hospitality, Li Xuan had no choice but to accept the gifts. After all, there was no reason not to take them.
Then came the meal, with wine flowing freely as both sides drank to their hearts' content.
However.
The Family Head had originally intended to get Li Xuan drunk and learn his exact background.
In the end, after drinking for three hours, Li Xuan was not drunk at all, while the Family Head himself got drunk and collapsed onto the floor without any regard for his image.
"Father, why did you drink so much? Honestly, you were far too careless."
Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er looked at their drunken father, then at Li Xuan, whose face was not red and whose breathing was steady. At that moment, they felt utterly humiliated.
The dignified Family Head of the Shui Family had actually been drunk under the table by a child. It was simply too embarrassing.
With no other choice, Shui Bing'er called over the guards to carry her father back, but she felt deeply depressed inside.
The Guard Captain was equally depressed. He had originally waited outside, expecting to see Li Xuan get drunk so they could learn about his background.
But after waiting three hours, Li Xuan was completely fine. Instead, the Family Head was dead drunk and carried out by others. It was far too unexpected.
One had to know that the Family Head had an exceptionally high alcohol tolerance. None of the guards could compare to him.
Yet unexpectedly.
A Family Head with such a powerful tolerance had been drunk unconscious just like that. The key was that Li Xuan was perfectly fine and had even asked after him with concern.
Everyone was left speechless.
Just as the Guard Captain was preparing to leave, Li Xuan spoke again.
"Shui Bing'er, does your family have a workshop? I need one."
"A workshop? We do. But it's already dark. Do you still need to use it?" Shui Bing'er asked in confusion.
"Yes. I want to make something small." Li Xuan spoke as he winked at Shui Bing'er.
"Th-then, all right. I'll take you there."
Thinking of the secret between them, Shui Bing'er agreed without hesitation and led Li Xuan away.
"I'll come too."
Shui Yue'er followed after them with small steps, leaving the guards standing where they were.
"Sigh, who would have thought that a Family Head with such a strong tolerance would be drunk under the table by a little brat? What in the world is going on?"
The Guard Captain shook his head and left.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, the next morning arrived.
The Family Head's bedroom.
After sleeping through the night, the Family Head slowly woke up. Enduring his headache, he began washing up, but his mind was still muddled.
It was not until he went outside and let the cool breeze blow over him that he recovered somewhat.
"Family Head, are you feeling better?" the Guard Captain hurried over and asked.
"Much better. Guard Liu, did I really end up lying on the floor drunk last night?" the Family Head asked somewhat incredulously.
"Yes, Family Head. Yesterday, you drank too much Spirit Power Wine. The effects of that wine are too strong, so you got completely drunk—dead drunk," the Guard Captain said quietly.
"Then what about Li Xuan? Did he get drunk?" the Family Head hurriedly asked.
"No. His face was not red, and his breathing was steady. He even spent the entire night working in the workshop," the Guard Captain could not help saying.
"What? His face wasn't red, his breathing was steady, and he spent the whole night in the workshop? He's so young, yet his alcohol tolerance is that high? He even drank me under the table. There really is no justice in this world."
