Huge Haul

Li Xuan murmured to himself, feeling that this trip to the treasury had truly been a massive harvest. He had taken away countless treasures and wealth.

Of course.

"Clearing it out" was relative. After all, time had been limited, and Li Xuan could not possibly take everything.

Most importantly, the Experience Card only lasted ten minutes.

He had spent half a minute smashing the Auction House, one minute smashing Blue Tyrant Academy, and one minute beating up Qian Renxue. The remaining time had been used for traveling and looting the treasures in the treasury.

Therefore.

There were still many things left in the treasury. Even after entering it, immediately blocking the entrance, and summoning the soul beasts from Natural Space to help loot it, he had not managed to take everything.

The Heaven Dou Empire's treasury was simply too enormous. Natural Space had been crammed full, and even the area where he used to grow vegetables had been occupied.

"Fortunately, everything I took this time was valuable. Of the things left behind, either their value was relatively low, or the soul beasts trampled them."

Li Xuan muttered, preparing to return to Natural Space. Of course, he first needed to check his condition and look at his status panel.

"I have more and more abilities, and the status panel is such a mess. System, organize it."

Ding! Command received. Adjustment complete.

Ding! Li Xuan:
4 Experience Cards
Physique: 27
Soul: 13
Martial Soul: 1% Silver Dragon King Martial Soul

Soul Power: Level 7 Spirit Scholar
Soul Ring: None

Passives: 15% Super Defense, 5% Super Stamina, 5% Super Toxin Resistance, 5% Super Recovery
Abilities: God's Perspective, Natural Space, Underwater Breathing, Night Vision, God-tier Cooking, Advanced Forging, God-level Archery

"This looks much better. And my physique has risen to 27, I've gained Super Recovery, and I have four Experience Cards. I really made a killing this time."

Li Xuan happily examined his condition, feeling better and better the more he looked.

He even felt that.

The people of the Heaven Dou Empire were warm and hospitable. They had just met him and already given him so many things. They were truly friendly.

"Since the Heaven Dou Empire is so friendly, I'll visit their treasury again in a few years."

As soon as Li Xuan finished speaking, his figure flashed, and he arrived in Natural Space.

But when he saw the space packed to the brim with items, Li Xuan felt a headache coming on.

"There's way too much stuff. It's taking up so much space."

Li Xuan let out a breath, found some clothes to put on, then began carefully inspecting the entire space.

The little spring was well protected and had not been occupied. The Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were also fine, growing brightly and vibrantly. Only the area for growing vegetables had been taken over by a huge amount of Gold Soul Coins.

"There are too many Gold Soul Coins. They've even crushed my vegetables. Those were fresh vegetables. What a waste."

Li Xuan complained, then looked over the countless rare treasures, Soul Tools, gleaming weapons and armor, rare cultivation materials, all kinds of ancient Soul Tool records, Martial Soul books, rare and strange stones... In short.

The entire space was packed full. There was not even room left for the soul beasts, so they had all squeezed into the area where the small animals were raised, stacked together like human towers.

Li Xuan clearly saw it.

The Ten Thousand Year Earth Demon Spider, whose mind had gone dull, stood there stupidly and motionlessly, its body covered in pearls and treasures. Several small animals trembled beneath it, too afraid to move.

The White Wolf King had a huge black pot perched on its head, wore an unknown suit of multicolored glowing armor, and had a weapon curled around its tail as it stood motionlessly atop the Scale Armor Beast.

There was no helping it. The space was completely full, so it could only stay on the Scale Armored Beast's back, managing the living creatures in the entire space and keeping them from running around.

"Good grief, Little White, you look ridiculously edgy like this. Forget it, let's organize the space first. Put all the Gold Soul Coins into Spatial Spirit Tools, then spend them like crazy later. There's too much of this stuff, and it takes up too much room."

As Li Xuan spoke, he sorted the many items into categories and stuffed them into the Soul Tools. The twenty-five Soul Tools were eventually filled to the brim, leaving only Qian Renxue's and Bibi Dong's Space Rings untouched.

"As expected of mother and daughter. Even the arrangements inside their Space Rings are so refined, and their tastes are so alike. The similarity between their things is incredibly high."

Li Xuan inspected Qian Renxue's Space Ring and was surprised by how similar the items were. Of course, that was not the important part. The important part was that he had found another Soul Power cultivation method.

"Angel Spirit Power Cultivation Method."

This was clearly Qian Renxue's cultivation method, and it was exactly the same as the one inside Bibi Dong's ring.

"Tsk tsk, this is good stuff. It should be a cultivation method specifically suited to a Martial Soul. Unfortunately, it's useless to me."

Li Xuan shook his head, placed the cultivation method back into Qian Renxue's ring, and turned to inspect Natural Space again.

At this point, Natural Space had finally recovered more than half of its former openness and was no longer so crowded. The soul beasts also had room to move around.

However, what surprised Li Xuan was that Natural Space had actually grown somewhat larger than before.

"System, what caused the space to increase?" Li Xuan asked in confusion.

Ding! Your soul has become stronger. Natural Space has gradually expanded under the influence of your soul.

"Soul?"

Li Xuan was slightly stunned upon hearing this, then said with delight, "So as long as my soul continues to improve, can the space expand infinitely in the future?"

Ding! Yes.

"Good, good, good. This is wonderful. It looks like I need to drink more Emotion Water in the future. This stuff also helps the soul, and I need to take on more soul-related missions."

Li Xuan suddenly thought of the count mission. Its reward was Advanced Sword Technique plus 3 Soul, and he was about to complete it.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this is fantastic. When the time comes, Natural Space will definitely grow again."

Li Xuan thought happily, looking forward to the scene of the space expanding once more in the future.

"Woof~"

The White Wolf King barked, pushing its large head over adorably. A little black beetle remained motionless on the bridge of its nose.

"Huh? Soul Power is actually emerging from this little beetle's body. It has already become a soul beast!"

Li Xuan was overjoyed. He had not expected the little beetle to become a soul beast so quickly. Even if its cultivation was very low, this was enough to prove the powerful effect of Emotion Water.

Moreover, Li Xuan had long noticed that the Emotion Water had completely turned purple, and faint golden specks had even appeared within it.

Clearly, after all the destruction he had caused in the Heaven Dou Empire, Li Xuan had absorbed a massive amount of emotions, causing the Emotion Water to undergo a transformation.

"Good, good, good. What a huge harvest."

Li Xuan spoke excitedly, rubbing the White Wolf King's head as he smiled. "Little White, you did very well. From now on, drink as much Emotion Water as you want and evolve as quickly as possible."

"Woof~"

The White Wolf King barked excitedly, hopping about happily and even doing a somersault.

"Alright, go play. I'm going to take a bath and get some sleep. Tomorrow, I still need to go find Poison Douluo."

After speaking, Li Xuan filled a bathtub with Emotion Water and happily took a bath.

Then he took out a wine gourd and gulped down a large amount of Emotion Water before returning to his exquisite soft bed and falling asleep.

Elsewhere.

Heaven Dou City, Poison Douluo's residence, study.

"Grandpa, you must remember his features clearly. He's a silver-haired little boy named Li Xuan. He told us that name himself, so you must remember it." Dugu Yan reminded him.

"Don't worry, I remember it perfectly. I'll give the order shortly. Once the steward sees Li Xuan, he'll report it immediately," Poison Douluo said seriously.

"Mm, Li Xuan may come tomorrow. Grandpa, come back from the palace early tomorrow."

"Alright. Tomorrow, Xue Ye will definitely reward me in front of all the officials. At that time, if I ask for the title of count for Li Xuan, I'll certainly get it. I'll also hurry back right away."

"Mm, then I'm relieved."

Dugu Yan nodded, finally putting her mind at ease. However, whenever she thought of the term "grandson-in-law," she could not help glaring at her grandfather. He was far too good at setting up his granddaughter.

"Alright, go back and rest. You'll be meeting Li Xuan tomorrow, so make sure to treat him well. Don't make him angry," Poison Douluo instructed.

"Got it."

Dugu Yan nodded and returned to her room.

The next morning, sunlight shone over the land, bringing vigorous life to all things.

Poison Douluo and his granddaughter woke early and waited. Even after Poison Douluo went to the imperial palace and obtained the title, he immediately returned home to wait.

However.

Li Xuan had overslept and only slowly woke around noon.

But it did not matter. He did not care about oversleeping at all. He even carried a wine gourd as he leisurely headed toward Poison Douluo's residence.

Elsewhere.

Outside Poison Douluo's residence, the scene was bustling.

A large number of nobles and wealthy Big Bosses had gathered there.

Because Poison Douluo had turned the tide and saved the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace with his brilliant achievement, these people had come to curry favor and bring gifts.

Unfortunately.

Their status was not high enough for them even to enter the gates, so they could only wait outside.

One Fat Boss had grown impatient from waiting and turned to look at a blond man nearby.

"Zhao Boss, has anyone gone in from this morning until now?"

"No. Not a single person has entered. From ordinary businessmen to nobles, even renowned High-level Spirit Masters have been turned away."

"They were all turned away? It's actually this hard to get in?!" Fat Boss widened his eyes in shock.

"Yeah. Even the Notting City lord came bearing valuable gifts and was turned away. Look over there, he's still waiting." The blond man pointed to the side.

"I never expected even the lord of a city to be refused. It's far too hard to get in. I wonder who is qualified to enter," Fat Boss sighed.

"I don't know, but anyone below the rank of duke probably can't get in. I'm afraid only a Prince can enter."

"A Prince? That makes sense. Only a Prince would be qualified."
