Xingyao Merchant House!
Upon hearing Hong Shuang's words, Li Xuan was stunned. This Xingyao Merchant House, wasn't it founded by his parents? Moreover, Li Xuan knew very well that Luo Xuan was someone his parents had left behind to manage in the three-dimensional space.
Could it be that there was a Xingyao Merchant House in this four-dimensional space as well?
For a moment, Li Xuan became uncertain. Was this Xingyao Merchant House a case of a similar name, or was it truly founded by his parents?
If it was a mere coincidence of naming, then it would be nothing. But if it was the latter, Li Xuan would have to seriously contemplate what kind of beings his parents were.
"Young master, why do I feel like you're starting to resemble a rich second-generation heir?" The voice of the Heavenly Dao Brush echoed in Li Xuan's mind.
Li Xuan smiled wryly and then looked at Hong Shuang, saying, "Miss Hong Shuang, how does this Xingyao Merchant House compare to Wantian Merchant House?"
Hong Shuang looked at Li Xuan with some surprise and said, "Young master, have you never heard of Xingyao Merchant House? Let me put it this way, our Wantian Merchant House is merely a member of the Xingyao Merchant House guild."
"Holy cow, young master, I think you can just lie flat now!" The Heavenly Dao Brush spoke again.
"Cough, cough, little brush, your perspective is too limited," Li Xuan said with a slight cough.
The Heavenly Dao Brush: "..."
"Miss Hong Shuang, may I ask where Xingyao Merchant House is located?" Li Xuan asked Hong Shuang.
Hong Shuang was silent for a moment before replying, "Young master, Xingyao Merchant House has only one branch on each continent, but even so, its foundation is unfathomably deep. Although our Wantian Merchant House also has divine swords, their quantity absolutely cannot compare to Xingyao Merchant House."
Li Xuan nodded slightly. Since that was the case, he would wait until he went to Xingyao Merchant House first. If it really was the Xingyao Merchant House founded by his parents, why would he have to spend money to buy them?
Sometimes, if you could lie flat, why would you foolishly stand your ground and resist?
"Young master, do you have any other needs?" Hong Shuang asked.
Li Xuan thought for a moment and shook his head. Now that he had the star map of this four-dimensional space, Li Xuan was not in a hurry. As for the matter of spiritual swords, since Li Xuan knew of the existence of Xingyao Merchant House, he would naturally have to visit. Thinking of it this way, there was nothing else he needed.
"If that's the case, then I shall not disturb you further, young master. There are many affairs in the merchant house, and I hope for your understanding," Hong Shuang said as she stood up.
Seeing this, Li Xuan also stood up and cupped his fists, saying, "Thank you, Miss Hong Shuang. If I have any further needs, I will trouble you again."
Hong Shuang smiled and nodded. Li Xuan then turned and left.
"Young master, since Wantian Merchant House is so widely established, why is it so troublesome to sell even a divine sword?" the Heavenly Dao Brush asked, puzzled.
Li Xuan smiled wryly and said, "How would I know? Perhaps it's because of Xingyao Merchant House. But regardless of whether it's because of Xingyao Merchant House or not, I have to visit the Xingyao Merchant House on the Holy Spirit Continent."
"Young master, when do you plan to set off?" the Heavenly Dao Brush asked.
Li Xuan smiled and said, "I originally planned to stay here for a few days to observe the situation. Now that I have information about my parents' whereabouts, the sooner the better."
Soon, Li Xuan walked towards the city gate.
After leaving Jinxi City, Li Xuan's mind moved, and he instantly vanished from his original spot.
In the void, Li Xuan traversed while examining the purchased star map. After roughly memorizing it, he then opened the information jade slip about the Holy Spirit Continent.
Soon, Li Xuan locked onto his destination.
Holy City.
Several days later, Li Xuan arrived above the Holy City where Xingyao Merchant House was located.
Looking at this incredibly vast and magnificent city, Li Xuan's expression was somewhat moved. A city, in mid-air, the end of which was difficult to see with the naked eye. One could imagine how large the Holy City was.
A few breaths later, Li Xuan arrived outside the city gate. According to the information in the jade slip, the Holy City held a prestigious position on the Holy Spirit Continent. This was not only because the Holy City was the largest city on the Holy Spirit Continent, but also because there were Saints within the Holy City.
Saints, according to Li Xuan's information, were essentially cultivators at the Dao Accomplishment realm. According to the information, after the Void Breaking realm came the Dao Voiding realm, the Dao Proving realm, the Dao Control realm, and finally the Dao Accomplishment realm.
Those who reached the Dao Accomplishment realm could be called Saints. And the peak of the Dao Accomplishment realm was referred to as Great Saints. Naturally, there were no Great Saints in the Holy City, but there were five Saint-level existences. This fact greatly shocked Li Xuan.
Li Xuan knew very well that the further one advanced in cultivation, the greater the resources required. Take Li Xuan himself as an example, the spiritual swords consumed to reach this point were countless. And each breakthrough, the quantity almost doubled.
"Young master, you must be careful. Saints are not beings that you can contend with," the Heavenly Dao Brush's voice echoed in Li Xuan's mind.
Li Xuan's face darkened, and he said, "Do you think I'm going to fight Saints?"
The Heavenly Dao Brush said helplessly, "Anyway, I just feel that you might end up encountering a Saint. Young master, can you truly contend with a Saint right now? So, my suggestion is, the more low-key you can be, the better."
Li Xuan shook his head speechlessly. He was only here to visit Xingyao Merchant House, could that possibly attract the attention of a Saint?
Thinking this, Li Xuan then walked towards the city gate. The Holy City did not charge an entry fee, which somewhat surprised Li Xuan. However, considering that the Holy City was the symbol of the Holy Spirit Continent, he understood.
If even the Holy City charged an entry fee, it would undoubtedly annoy some incoming powerful cultivators. Moreover, by not doing so, the Holy City also demonstrated the demeanor of the Holy Spirit Continent. Compared to a negligible entry fee, an image of magnanimity was undoubtedly more important.
"My goodness. Young master, are you sure you want to go in?" After Li Xuan inquired about the location of Xingyao Merchant House, he quickly arrived in front of its entrance. Upon seeing the appearance of Xingyao Merchant House, even the Heavenly Dao Brush couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
The Holy City was already extremely vast, and Xingyao Merchant House was as large as Quanzhou City, which Li Xuan had seen before. Such a scale indicated the immense power behind it. At this moment, Li Xuan finally understood why Hong Shuang had mentioned Xingyao Merchant House.
"Yes, why wouldn't I go? Even if it's not founded by my parents, I can still purchase a batch of divine swords. Little brush, why do I feel like you're more expectant than I am that this is my parents' merchant house?" Li Xuan said, shaking his head, and then walked directly in.
"To purchase a batch... of divine swords?" Upon hearing Li Xuan's intention, Huang Lian also showed a brief moment of stunned silence. Divine swords were not ordinary spiritual swords. For ordinary people to buy one, it would be an exorbitant price. Yet, the man before him was asking for a batch?
It had to be said that even Huang Lian, who was experienced in business, felt a sense of shock at this moment.
Li Xuan smiled and nodded, "Naturally, a batch. Miss, your establishment wouldn't be without them, would it?"
Huang Lian's chest puffed up, and her words were filled with pride: "If our Xingyao Merchant House cannot produce them, then I'm afraid no one in this world can. Sir, please proceed upstairs."
A flash of surprise crossed Li Xuan's eyes. It seemed that Xingyao Merchant House truly had profound foundations. Otherwise, how could the people in the merchant house be so confident?
