"One hundred thousand gold soul coins, this is yours. This is the land deed. Pay with one hand and deliver with the other." The old man took out a sheepskin scroll from his arms, opened it neatly, and showed it to Li Xuan .
It seems that this old man should be the lord here. Li Xuan looked at the old man carefully. Looking at the old man's clothes, he could see that the fabric of the clothes was very high-end, but a little shabby. Come to think of it, This outfit must have been worn for a long time.
However, Li Xuan took a closer look at the old man. His face was haggard and his eyes were dim, as if his energy had been drained away.
Li Xuan glanced past the old man at the yard behind him. The yard was spacious, but desolate and dilapidated, with worn floor tiles and worn-out walls everywhere.
Besides the old man in front of him, there was no one else in the yard. Li Xuan was also curious about what happened here.
Looking back, Li Xuan took a closer look at the scroll in the old man's hand.
This is not the land deed here, but also the reward certificate for this title.
With this sheepskin scroll, Li Xuan is the new baron, and this land will reasonably become Li Xuan's territory.
Although the titles of the Star Luo Empire cannot be traded, they can be inherited. Of course, this is just another way of saying it. The essence is still buying and selling land, but generally the price of titles is relatively high.
Compared with purchasing land, purchasing a title is really not worth the gain. After all, the title is not cost-effective.
The land here is too barren. One hundred thousand gold soul coins are not too expensive, but not expensive. This place is really not worth one hundred thousand gold soul coins.
It’s not that Li Xuan can’t afford it, he really doesn’t want to waste money.
As a young man in the new era, even if he didn't know how to bargain, Li Xuan knew that it would never go wrong to cut him in half, so he cut it in half!
"Fifty thousand gold soul coins, if you agree, leave the certificate. If you don't agree, there's nothing I can do." Li Xuan thought for a while, and then said to the old man.
Li Xuan's eyes were calm and firm, staring at the old man steadily, waiting for the old man to continue bargaining.
"Deal!" The old man stuffed the sheepskin scroll into Li Xuan's arms without hesitation.
Li Xuan thought to himself, damn it, what a loss!
"Forget it, a gentleman's words are hard to follow. These are fifty thousand gold soul coins. I leave them to you." After speaking, Li Xuan took out five of the Kongming Pearls containing ten thousand coins. The bag of gold soul coins was placed on the ground.
“How cool you are!” The old man’s eyes lit up and he quickly put these gold soul coins into his soul guide.
As a noble, although his talent is not very good, his bloodline still allows him to have an innate soul power level and become a soul master, and this soul guide is also passed down from his family.
"Come on, give me the scroll and I'll sign it for you. Then you can go to Xingluo City to handle the inheritance of the title." The old man stretched out his hand and waved to Li Xuan.
Although Li Xuan was confused, he still returned the scroll in his hand to the old man.
"What's your name? I need to sign here." The old man asked Li Xuan.
"My name is..." Li Xuan was about to say his name, but suddenly he thought that his identity had been exposed, so when the words came to his mouth, Li Xuan swallowed them back.
The Qibao Glazed Sect has probably found out his real name and Li Feiyu’s nickname.
"Is your identity insecure?" The old man glanced at Li Xuan doubtfully. Li Xuan didn't speak, but nodded secretly.
“This is the identity tag of my late son. Just think of it as giving you a new identity. I don’t have to sign for you. With this identity tag, you can inherit it directly. In the land here." The old man sighed, then took out a token from his arms and handed it to Li Xuan.
"What are you...?" Li Xuan looked at the old man with confusion and asked.
"You gave me fifty thousand gold soul coins, what can I do for you by doing a small favor?" the old man said with a smile.
Li Xuan lowered his head and glanced at the unexpected thing in his hand. It was the size of a palm, completely black, and had the word "Ande" written on it.
"Old man, why don't you stay here and work for me here?" Li Xuan raised his eyebrows and asked. This old man was lonely and helpless, and he felt compassion for him.
"I want to go out for a wander. I already have 50,000 gold soul coins, why should I work for you!" The old man said angrily, then turned and left.
"Don't worry, kid. Everyone here has left, and no one knows the identity of my child. You should be more careful in the future, and you can go out again in a few years." The old man sighed. He said with a tone of despair.
"By the way, old man, what happened here? Why is it so desolate? Where are the people here?" Li Xuan frowned and asked.
"This is the residence of the Ander family. Originally, the Ander family was the baron stationed in Ladi Canyon. Later, Ladi Canyon suddenly turned into a barren land. Seeing the hard work of our Ander family, Emperor Xingluo rewarded this place. Gave it to us. Originally, crops could still grow here, but in recent years, it has become more and more barren. No plants can grow here. People in the territory have moved away one after another. In the end, I am the only old man left to guard this place. Now you Come on, I can go." The old man smiled heartily, and then he was ready to leave.
Li Xuan did not stop the old man anymore, he just nodded to the old man and watched him leave.
The old man’s legs and feet were so fast that he didn’t know where he was going after a while.
Li Xuan also smiled and shook his head. Then Li Xuan glanced at the sheepskin scroll in his arms. The old man did not fool him. With this thing, he was recognized as a baron by the Star Luo Empire, although he was not They are dukes and counts with real power, but they are also considered nobles.
After putting the scroll into his arms, Li Xuan glanced at the surrounding houses. They were already empty. The place was completely desolate, and there was indeed no one left.
Moreover, Li Xuan entered the lord's mansion and took a look. There was nothing inside. I guess this old man had wanted to leave a long time ago.
“But fifty thousand gold soul coins bought me a formal noble status, so it’s not a bad loss.” Li Xuan shook his head helplessly. If he had known better, he would have lowered the price even more.
After putting away the sheepskin scroll, Li Xuan left here directly. The place was already in ruins, and nothing of value was gone.
The next step is to knock down the entire place and rebuild it.
After all, this place is no longer suitable for living.
As for what the old man said about the land problem here, Li Xuan also slowly frowned. It seems that there must be something wrong here, and he has to find a way to solve this problem. Otherwise, it will be easy to fail to grow crops here. thing.
Getting on the carriage, Li Xuan returned directly to the outside of the canyon. At this time, the Yellow Turban Warriors had built a large camp, and all the Yellow Turban Warriors were coming and going in a lively manner.
Looks like everyone is busy.
