Combing Hair, Heading to the Breaking Clan
"Brother Xuan, I'm dirty!"
Xiao Wu collapsed into Lin Xuan's arms, feeling as if she had been corrupted by the Fallen One.
They were now riding on Dragon Scale Horse, continuing their journey.
Lin Xuan had no interest in contacting the Spirit Hall personnel.
And these were just minor roles.
So after dealing with the attacking Fallen One, Lin Xuan took Xiao Wu and ran away before the Martial Soul Hall Enforcer arrived.
As for cleaning up the mess, just leave it to the Spirit Hall; they're the professionals.
"Who told you to want to fight? Getting into close combat with a bunch of trash, serves you right!"
Lin Xuan's lips curled up slightly.
It wasn't as serious as Xiao Wu made it out to be; she just had some blood on her clothes.
"I don't care, Brother Xuan, I want to take a shower!"
Xiao Wu said pitifully.
"Alright!"
"Let's find a place."
Lin Xuan's Dao Heart trembled slightly, then he quickly steadied it and pretended to be indifferent.
After arriving at a secluded corner, Lin Xuan directly released a huge tent from his Storage Soul Tool (which he had obtained from the Godwind Academy).
Then they brought out two wooden barrels and some water stored in Soul Tool.
"Go ahead and wash up however you like, I'll keep watch outside for you."
Lin Xuan straightened his clothes and spoke righteously.
Then he turned and walked towards the door.
Xiao Wu now possesses fire attributes, allowing her to heat the water herself.
Outside the tent, Lin Xuan took out some fine horse feed from his Soul Tool and fed it to the Dragon Scale Horse, while also grooming its mane.
Under Lin Xuan's caress, the Dragon Scale Horse narrowed its eyes slightly, displaying an expression of great enjoyment.
Lin Xuan's mind was clearly not on the Dragon Scale Horse.
Hearing the sound of flowing water, Lin Xuan's heart was also Sisi.
Soon, Xiao Wu finished washing up and changed her clothes, appearing in front of Lin Xuan looking very refreshed.
"Brother Xuan, would you like me to comb my hair?"
Xiao Wu tilted her head slightly to one side, a sly smile appearing on her face.
At the same time, he held a wooden comb in both hands and handed it to Lin Xuan.
"Alright!"
Lin Xuan glanced at the wooden comb, his expression barely changing as he casually took it.
Soon, a rather unrefined ponytail appeared on Xiao Wu's head.
Lin Xuan and Xiao Wu continued their journey towards the Star Luo Empire.
Perhaps because they had already gone through a trial, Lin Xuan and Xiao Wu encountered almost no danger in the time that followed.
Upon entering the territory of the Star Luo Empire, it became clear that the situation was completely different from that of the Heaven Dou Empire.
The people of the Star Luo Empire are more simple and honest, or in other words, more martial.
Although its economy was not as prosperous as that of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Yet its national strength is visibly formidable.
Honestly, if it weren't for the Spirit Hall's intervention, Lin Xuan really couldn't imagine how the Heaven Dou Empire could have held on until now.
Besides its strong national power, the Star Luo Empire also had a much better living environment than the Heaven Dou Empire.
The Star Luo Empire operates on a dog-eat-dog world principle.
This meant that the nobles of the Star Luo Empire could not possibly be a group of pleasure-seeking playboys.
While nobles were risking their lives, commoners were given a lot of living space.
I bought a map within the Star Luo Empire that only showed its general location.
Lin Xuan quickly located the locations of Star Luo City and Longxing City on the map.
Both Star Luo City and Heaven Dou City are located in the center of the country.
However, Longxing City is located on the opposite side of Star Luo City and the Spirit Hall.
Centered on Star Luo City, it faces Spirit City across the distance.
It's almost reached the point of being biased towards the countryside.
It feels similar to Nuoding City.
Because we started early, there are still about twenty days until the start of the competition.
Therefore, Lin Xuan decided not to rush to Star Luo City.
Instead, they headed straight for Longxing City, intending to find Yang Wudi and exchange his immortal Immortal Herb Catalog for the Yang Family's treasure trove.
Xiao Wu naturally did not object to Lin Xuan's decision.
Traveling at breakneck speed, Lin Xuan and Xiao Wu arrived in Longxing City in just seven days.
Just as Lin Xuan had predicted, Longxing City was indeed not a big city.
It's only slightly better Nuoding City, but definitely not by much.
After spending one Silver Soul Coin, Lin Xuan and Xiao Wu arrived directly at the gate of the Yang Family.
Despite being a family of Soul Douluo, the Yang Family's life isn't as good as one might imagine.
Even in a city like Longxing City, where the Soul King is the city lord, the Yang Family's location is not in the central area.
It was built next to the Outer City.
As the defeated party of the Spirit Hall, the Yang clan was naturally not entitled to receive Gold Soul Coin as compensation from the Spirit Hall.
As compensation for being taken in by the Star Luo Empire, the Yang family could sell the medicines they refined for high prices, but their profits were negligible.
That's enough to barely make ends meet.
"Something wrong!?"
Seeing Lin Xuan and Xiao Wu standing in front of their gate, the two Yang Family family members guarding the gate couldn't help but ask.
The tone wasn't exactly pleasant, but it wasn't too bad either.
Years of experience have long since smoothed out their rough edges, and at least when it comes to someone like Lin Xuan who looks like a rich kid, they don't care to know.
The Yang family can no longer afford to pay the compensation.
"Oh, hello. Please inform them that I'd like to do some business with your chieftain."
Lin Xuan snapped out of his daze, looked at the two Yang Family family members guarding the gate, cupped his hands in greeting, and said...
"Business!?"
The two Yang Family family members looked at each other with skepticism.
After all, Lin Xuan and Xiao Wu look too young; how can they possibly discuss business?
Lin Xuan didn't speak, but instead took out the Red Card that Ning Feng Zhi had given him from his Soul Tool.
These Red Card start at tens of millions of Gold Soul Coin; having that much is enough to prove one's status.
Sure enough, the two Yang Family family members were stunned the moment they saw the card.
The largest amount they had ever seen in their lives was a purple Soul Guide Card that their clan leader had once possessed.
Purple represents 100,000 Gold Soul Coin, and this red...
The two of them immediately abandoned all their contempt.
This isn't some kid causing trouble at all.
This is practically like the God of Wealth coming to our door!
Not daring to relax in the slightest, one of the Yang Family family members immediately turned around and ran towards the back of the door.
They looked as if they wanted to use their Soul Skill to enhance their abilities.
They were afraid that if they ran too slowly, their clan would miss out on this precious God of Wealth.
His family had only recently settled down when they were desperately short of money.
The Yang family's residence.
Yang Wudi looked at the account book with a worried expression.
After several years of development, the Yang Family finally weathered the most difficult period.
However, due to the start of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition, the Star Luo Royal Family suddenly requested a 50% increase in their pill supply this month.
They were barely breaking even, and even if they made a little profit, it was only enough for them to make ends meet.
Now they're suddenly demanding more pills and are unwilling to pay a deposit in advance.
Isn't this putting people in a difficult position?
Yang Wudi knew that this was yet another reminder from the Star Luo Emperor.
The reason is that the Star Luo Empire had always tried to win him over, but he had refused.
Therefore, the Star Luo Emperor would occasionally cause them some trouble.
And he can't lose his temper when faced with these troubles.
We can only swallow our pride and bear it.
If it weren't for the Star Luo Empire, the Yang family wouldn't have the chance to survive in its current precarious state.
However, it was precisely because he had the former Clear Sky Sect as a role model that Yang Wudi refused to join any faction.
No matter how tough or tiring it was, he never considered joining another faction.
"Chieftain, Chieftain, a huge business deal, a huge business deal!"
Just as Yang Wudi was frowning and wondering whether he should do some Soul Hunting quests to earn some money, the gatekeeper, a member of the Yang family, ran in excitedly.
