177. Chapter 176: The Seven Treasures Glazed Sect Arrives

Then, Li Xuan directly summoned one hundred and fifty burlap sacks filled with golden Soul Coins and threw them into the Courtyard.

One of the sacks burst open, and the bag full of golden Soul Coins scattered all over the ground.

"Wah—la—la..."

The golden Soul Coins lay scattered on the ground, glittering brightly under the sunlight.

"WTF..."

"WTF..."

"WTF..."

One-key triple combo, the three—Lou Gao and his master and disciple—said in unison.

"Brother Si Yu, this is one million five hundred thousand golden Soul Coins. If it's not enough, ask me for more; if it's too much, give these brothers some benefits," Li Xuan said with a smile to Si Yu.

Si Yu nodded, then, not daring to delay, hurriedly loaded the sacks into his Soul Guide Device.

"By the way, Brother Si Yu, there are fifty Soul Guide Devices here to give to those brothers, so it'll be more convenient when they shop for me," Li Xuan handed a large pile of Soul Guide Devices to Si Yu.

At that moment Si Yu's eyes went vacant, his movements stiff as he reached out to take the items Li Xuan handed over.

"Xuan Ge'er, you really are wealthy..." Lou Gao exaggeratedly gave Li Xuan a thumbs‑up.

As the Guild President of the Blacksmith Guild and also a Divine Blacksmith, Lou Gao's fortune is not small, but to produce over a million golden Soul Coins without blinking an eye, Lou Gao admits he couldn't do it.

Li Xuan chuckled sheepishly, scratched his head, and said nothing more.

"Alright, Xuan Ge'er, enough talk. Someone's handling your purchases, so just rest here for a few days, recuperate, and wait for the auction in a few days. Don't go out for the next two days, otherwise you'll be easily spotted by the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect members," Lou Gao said, nodding at Li Xuan.

"Got it, got it, Lou Lao," Li Xuan smiled at Lou Gao.

"Si Long, take Xuan Ge'er to the side chamber to rest," Lou Gao said to Si Long.

"Yes, teacher, Xuan Ge'er, follow me," Si Long bowed respectfully to Lou Gao, then gestured to Li Xuan and led him toward the side chamber.

"Thanks, Brother Si Long," Li Xuan said with a smile, then rested in the side chamber together with Si Long.

These past few days Li Xuan had been exhausted from travel, already worn out, but now that someone else handled the procurement, he could finally rest properly.

After returning to the side chamber, Li Xuan freshened up briefly, then lay down on the bed and fell asleep quickly.

……

Li Xuan slept from the afternoon until early the next morning.

"Ah, that was so comfortable. A high bed with a soft pillow is indeed cozier than a carriage trunk. If I get a chance, I'll have someone craft a comfortable carriage compartment, so travel rests can be nicer," Li Xuan yawned, thinking that.

Li Xuan got up from the bed, freshened up briefly, changed into new clothes, and left his room for the Courtyard.

At that moment Si Long and Si Yu were sitting in the Courtyard, cultivating soul power.

Li Xuan didn't disturb them; he found an empty table in the Courtyard, took out a book and began reading. After a short while, Si Long and Si Yu stopped their cultivation.

"Brother Si Long, Brother Si Yu, good morning," Li Xuan set down what he was holding and greeted the two.

"Xuan Ge'er got up early," Si Long laughed in reply. "Xuan Ge'er, when they returned last night they already brought back the quotations. After I personally examined the prices and quality, they started formal procurement today, so the first batch of supplies will be back by noon," Si Yu told Li Xuan, explaining the purchase status.

"Thanks for your hard work, Brother Si Yu," Li Xuan nodded gratefully at Si Yu.

"By the way, the teacher said that for the next two days, Xuan Ge'er, you should stay here in the Courtyard and be honest, because members of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect entered Starry City yesterday," Si Long shrugged helplessly at Li Xuan.

"What a narrow road for enemies, fine then, I'll just rest here for a few days," Li Xuan snorted coldly, then said to Si Long.

After a while, Si Yu arranged for breakfast. After the meal, those who needed to cultivate did so, those who needed to design blueprints did so, leaving Li Xuan as the only idle person.

Bored out of his mind, Li Xuan returned to his room and began transcribing the books he obtained from the Killing Treasure Vault.

After Li Xuan's repeated processing, the books, though fragile, were now barely readable.

However, these books will probably only be readable once, given their great age and high oxidation.

……

At noon, Li Xuan rubbed his slightly sore eyes and stepped out of his room.

Just as he left his room, Li Xuan saw over fifty people standing in the Courtyard listening to Si Yu's lecture.

"Brother Si Yu," Li Xuan waved at Si Yu.

"Xuan Ge'er is here, perfect. They've already brought back the first batch of supplies for you," Si Yu handed over the fifty‑plus Soul Guide Devices to Li Xuan.

"Brother Si Yu, the Soul Guide Devices are already given to the brothers, why give them to me?" Li Xuan quickly declined Si Yu's Soul Guide Devices.

"Soul Guide Devices are so valuable, better not. Keep them safe, don't lose them," Si Yu said nervously to Li Xuan.

"Brother Si Yu, once something is given away there's no reason to take it back. I've taken the items out, and the Soul Guide Devices are yours," Li Xuan thought, then took the Soul Guide Devices from Si Yu, emptied all the contents, and tossed the devices to the youths.

The youths, flattered and astonished, stared at Li Xuan; the fact that such valuable Soul Guide Devices could be handed out so freely made them even more awed by his strength.

"Well... okay, thank you, Xuan Ge'er!" Si Yu looked at Li Xuan as if about to say something, but finally said nothing, and pointed at the youths ahead.

"Thank you, Xuan Ge'er!" the youths chorused, then happily wore the Soul Guide Devices.

"Alright, go eat quickly; after the meal, continue procuring supplies," Si Yu said irritably.

"Yes, thank you, Third Brother!" the youths replied in unison to Si Yu, then scattered like birds and beasts, leaving the Courtyard to find food.

Li Xuan went to the piles of supplies on the ground, examined them carefully; indeed there were many, including medicinal herbs, building materials, and a large amount of grain.

Li Xuan tallied them, then one by one loaded the supplies into his Kongming Crystal. (End of chapter)
