In Douluo, Wuhun holds the Tianping

Chapter 167 1 Accidentally Becoming a Noble

"One hundred thousand gold soul coins, and this place is yours. Here is the title deed. Pay the money and you get the goods." The old man took out a parchment 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 can see that the fabric of the clothes is very high-end, but it is a little worn. It seems that this set of clothes 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. He looked as if all his energy had been drained away.

Li Xuan looked past the old man at the yard behind him. The yard was spacious, but desolate and dilapidated, with worn-out floor tiles and dilapidated walls everywhere.

Besides, there was no one else in the yard except the old man in front of him. Li Xuan was also curious about what happened here.

Turning back, Li Xuan took a closer look at the scroll in the old man's hand.

This is not only the title deed of this place, but also the certificate of award of this title.

With this parchment scroll, Li Xuan became the new baron, and this piece of land naturally became Li Xuan's territory.

Although the titles of the Xingluo Empire cannot be traded, they can be inherited. Of course, this is just another way of saying it. The essence is still the buying and selling of land, but the price of titles is generally higher.

Compared with buying land, buying a title is really not worth it, after all, the title is not cost-effective.

The land here is so barren that one hundred thousand gold soul coins are not too expensive. But if you say it is not expensive, it is really not worth one hundred thousand gold soul coins.

It’s not that Li Xuan can’t afford it, he just doesn’t want to waste money.

As a young person of the new era, even if he doesn't know how to bargain, Li Xuan knows that it will never go wrong to cut the price in half, so he just cuts it in half!

"Fifty thousand gold soul coins. If you agree, leave a receipt. If you don't agree, there's nothing I can do." Li Xuan thought for a while, then said to the old man.

Li Xuan's eyes were calm and firm. He stared at the old man steadily, waiting for the old man to continue bargaining.

"Deal!" The old man stuffed the parchment scroll into Li Xuan's arms without hesitation.

Li Xuan thought to himself, Damn it, what a loss!
"Forget it, forget it. A gentleman's word is as good as gold. Here are 50,000 gold soul coins. I'll give them to you." After Li Xuan finished speaking, he took out five bags containing 10,000 gold soul coins each from the Kongming Pearl and placed them on the ground.

"You are so straightforward!" The old man's eyes lit up and he quickly put the gold soul coins into his soul guide.

Although his talent as a noble is not that good, his bloodline still allows him to possess an innate level of soul power, becoming a soul master, and this soul guide device was also passed down from his family.

"Come on, give me the scroll and I'll sign it for you. Then you just need to go to Xingluo City to handle the inheritance of the title." The old man stretched out his hand and waved at Li Xuan.

Although Li Xuan was confused, he still returned the scroll 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 remembered that his identity had been exposed, so the words were swallowed back into his stomach.

The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect has most likely found out his real name and Li Feiyu's alias.

"Your identity is not safe?" The old man looked at Li Xuan in confusion. Li Xuan did not speak, but nodded secretly.

"This is the ID card of my late son. Just consider it as a new identity for you. I don't need to sign for you. With this ID card, you can directly inherit the land here." The old man sighed, then took out a token from his arms and handed it to Li Xuan.

“What are you doing...?” Li Xuan asked the old man with a puzzled look on his face.

"You've already given me 50,000 gold soul coins, so what's wrong with me doing you a small favor?" the old man said with a smile.

Li Xuan lowered his head and took a look at the thing in his hand. It was the size of a palm, completely black, with the words "Ande" written on it.

"Grandpa, why don't you stay here and work for me?" Li Xuan raised his eyebrows and asked. The old man was all alone and helpless, and he felt sympathy for him.

"I still need to go out and travel. I already have 50,000 gold soul coins. Why should I work for you?" the old man said unhappily, then turned and left.

"Don't worry, kid. Everyone here has left. No one knows my child's identity. You should be careful in the future and go out to explore the world after a few years." The old man sighed and said with a somewhat lonely look.

"By the way, old man, what happened here? Why is it so desolate? Where are the people here?" Li Xuan asked with a frown.

"This is the residence of the Ander Family. Originally, the Ander Family was a baron stationed in the Radi Canyon. Later, the Radi Canyon suddenly turned into a barren land. Seeing that our Ander Family had worked hard, Emperor Xingluo rewarded us with this place. Originally, crops could be grown here, but in recent years, it has become increasingly barren, and no plants can grow here. People in the territory have moved away one after another, and finally I'm the only old man left to guard this place. Now that you're here, I can leave too." The old man smiled heartily and prepared to leave.

Li Xuan did not stop the old man anymore. He just nodded at him and watched him leave.

The old man walked very quickly and soon he disappeared.

Li Xuan also smiled and shook his head. Then Li Xuan took a look at the parchment scroll in his arms. This old man did not fool him. With this thing, he would be a baron recognized by the Xing Luo Empire. Although he was not a duke or earl with real power, he was also a noble.

After putting the scroll into his arms, Li Xuan glanced at the surrounding houses. They were now empty. It was completely desolate and there was indeed no one here.

Moreover, when Li Xuan entered the lord's mansion and took a look, he found that there was nothing inside. It seemed that the old man had wanted to leave a long time ago.

"But it's not a big loss to buy a formal noble status with 50,000 gold soul coins." Li Xuan shook his head helplessly. If he had known earlier, he would have lowered the price.

After putting away the parchment scroll, Li Xuan left the place directly. The place was already in ruins, and nothing valuable was left.

The next step is to tear down the whole 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 something must have gone wrong here. He has to find a way to solve this problem. Otherwise, it would be difficult to grow crops here.

Sitting on the carriage, Li Xuan went straight back to the outside of the canyon. At this time, the Yellow Turban Warriors had already built a large camp, and all the Yellow Turban Warriors were coming and going, making it very lively.

It seems that everyone is busy.
