"Little master, you're just wandering around like this, haven't you thought about where to go first?" the Heavenly Dao Brush asked in the starry sky.
For the past month since leaving the Nanyang Continent, Li Xuan had been completely lost. Even the Heavenly Dao Brush couldn't help but inquire.
Li Xuan sighed helplessly, "I do want to see Yao'er, but I have no idea where the Ghost Realm is. Besides, after so long, have you seen a single continent?"
The Heavenly Dao Brush fell silent. Li Xuan was right. Ever since leaving the Nanyang Continent, Li Xuan had been flying east. Yet, in over a month, despite Li Xuan's speed, no continental planet had appeared.
"If I had known, little master, you should have asked Sister Li Yao for a four-dimensional map. But speaking of which, little master, your luck is truly terrible. Over a month, you could have made a round trip from the Land of Chaos to the Vast Continent by now," the Heavenly Dao Brush said speechlessly.
"Didn't those guys say I was some fated one? How can a fated one have such bad luck? Little Brush, do you think this 'fated one' thing might be fake?" Li Xuan asked.
"The fated one is not fake, little master, you truly are. However, your luck is indeed abysmal," the Heavenly Dao Brush replied.
Li Xuan's face darkened. Just as he was about to speak, his eyes suddenly lit up. A continent brimming with spiritual energy appeared before him.
"Little Brush, didn't you just say my luck was terrible? Look at this continent. The spiritual energy outside is so dense, there must be many strong individuals on this continent!" Li Xuan said smugly.
Heavenly Dao Brush: "Little master, aren't you afraid of getting beaten up after going in? Judging by the density of the spiritual energy, you might soon be reduced to a mere subordinate."
Li Xuan: "..."
A quarter of an hour later, Li Xuan moved and landed on a grassland. The surrounding spiritual beasts, startled, quickly disappeared.
Seeing this, Li Xuan scratched his head. The commotion had been a bit too much.
*Hiss!*
Li Xuan took a deep breath, and instantly felt his entire being become lighter. The richness of the spiritual energy here truly lived up to its reputation as a four-dimensional space. Even the rear regions of the Land of Chaos couldn't compare to the spiritual energy on this continent.
The next moment, Li Xuan closed his eyes slightly, and his divine sense rapidly spread out. Soon, Li Xuan opened his eyes and headed straight for the northwest.
Ten minutes later, a massive city appeared in Li Xuan's vision.
"Jinxi City."
Li Xuan glanced at the city name, observed for a moment in place, and then walked towards Jinxi City.
"Entrance fee, ten mid-grade spirit stones." The soldier at the city gate glanced at Li Xuan and said indifferently.
Li Xuan said nothing, having noticed this during his observation. With a thought, twenty mid-grade spirit stones shot into the soldier's hand.
The soldier was stunned and looked at Li Xuan with some surprise.
"Brother, you've worked hard. Consider this extra as my treat for a drink," Li Xuan said with a smile.
The soldier nodded in satisfaction and then, without a trace, pocketed the ten mid-grade spirit stones before saying to Li Xuan, "Brother is quite sensible. I shall not refuse your kindness."
Li Xuan smiled and nodded, "It's my duty. May I ask, brother, are there any rules in the city? As a newcomer, if I inadvertently break any rules, it would be a disaster without cause."
The soldier chuckled, "In the city, there aren't many major rules. Besides prohibiting flying and fighting, there's not much else. However, brother, you should still be careful not to provoke the enforcement team."
"Thank you, brother, I will keep it in mind!" Li Xuan clasped his fists.
"It's nothing, just a small matter. Here is your identification token, be sure not to lose it. Alright, you may enter," the soldier waved his hand.
Li Xuan nodded, took the token, and turned to enter the city gate.
"Little master, why didn't you go to a tavern or teahouse to gather information?" the Heavenly Dao Brush asked.
Li Xuan smiled, "When I was observing earlier, I noticed that there's an entrance fee to Jinxi City. And everyone entering Jinxi City receives a token representing their identity. These tokens are not all the same. More importantly, do you think it's easier to spend ten mid-grade spirit stones for a good identity token or to spend tens of spirit stones on drinks and tea to gather information?"
The Heavenly Dao Brush remained silent for a moment, then said, "Little master, when did you become so stingy?"
Li Xuan's face darkened, and he directly silenced the Heavenly Dao Brush.
Heavenly Dao Brush: "..."
Wantian Business Firm.
Li Xuan glanced at the plaque and walked in directly.
There was no other reason; Li Xuan's primary task upon arriving at this continent was to understand it. Secondly, he needed to purchase a map of known continents in this four-dimensional space. Only then could Li Xuan find Li Yao.
Furthermore, Luo Xuan had been away from the three-dimensional space for a long time, and Li Xuan missed her.
Besides that, Li Xuan also wanted to purchase a batch of spirit swords. Although he could now absorb spiritual energy from heaven and earth to cultivate, Li Xuan was fundamentally a sword cultivator, and he wouldn't abandon his previous methods of cultivation.
"This way, honored guest." After Li Xuan briefly explained his needs, a maid led him to the second floor.
As Li Xuan entered the room, a woman arrived at the door.
"I am Hong Shuang, an executive of the Wantian Auction House. I can handle the honored guest's requests," the woman said, bowing to Li Xuan after entering the room.
"Thank you, Miss Hong Shuang," Li Xuan nodded, satisfied with the efficiency of the Wantian Business Firm. He had barely entered the room, and the person in charge had already been informed and arrived.
"This is a map marked with all the continents currently known to our Wantian Business Firm, priced at twenty million. As for the situation of our Sacred Spirit Continent, it is all in this jade slip. The price is five million." Hong Shuang nodded slightly and placed two jade slips in front of Li Xuan.
With a thought, Li Xuan took out a spatial ring from the Zhenyu and placed it on the table.
"Deal," Hong Shuang said with a smile after picking up the spatial ring and glancing at it.
Li Xuan smiled and then asked, "From what you said earlier, Miss Hong Shuang, does the Wantian Business Firm have more than one location?"
Hong Shuang nodded slightly, "We have Wantian Business Firm branches on various continents. Is the young master looking for someone?"
Li Xuan's heart stirred, and he nodded, "How much does it cost to look for someone?"
Hong Shuang became even more enthusiastic, "The price for finding someone is slightly higher. For renowned strong individuals, the price is uniformly twenty million spirit stones. Of course, we only provide a general location. The specifics will require the guest to handle themselves."
"Twenty million mid-grade spirit stones?" Li Xuan frowned. If that was the case, the price was too low.
Hong Shuang shook her head and smiled, "Twenty million high-grade spirit stones."
Li Xuan was stunned and gave a wry smile. Twenty million high-grade spirit stones were equivalent to two hundred million mid-grade spirit stones. However, for Li Xuan, it was a way to find Luo Xuan and Lian Qiao. But Li Xuan wasn't sure if Luo Xuan and Lian Qiao would change their names.
"Miss Hong Shuang, does your firm have any high-level spirit swords?" Li Xuan asked.
"What level of spirit sword does the young master require?" Hong Shuang asked back.
Li Xuan pondered for a moment, "Spirit swords of the divine sword level, the more the better."
Hong Shuang was taken aback, then gave a wry smile, "We do have spirit swords of the divine sword level in our Wantian Business Firm, but... young master, you might need to go to the Xingyao Business Firm for that."
