Being scolded by Ruben Hong, Li Xuan himself felt embarrassed.
How did the dignified Luo Jinxian get to this point?
But a penny stumps a heroic man, what can Li Xuan do?
He smiled awkwardly at Ruben Hong and said, "Old sir, you don't understand. I'm very tight on money recently and want to do something, so I need money very much."
"how much money do you need?"
Rubenhong asked.
"Well..." Li Xuan sighed, "At least... I need a hundred spiritual stones... No, fifty is enough!"
Li Xuan found that when he said the number "one hundred", Lu Benhong's face suddenly became very long, as if he was very unhappy, and he quickly changed his words and said a lower number.
In fact, Li Xuan only needs twenty or thirty spirit stones as principal, which is enough to start working and make money.
He was confident that he could double this principal ten or even twenty times within a month! But what he didn't expect was that Ruben Hong's face turned even more ugly, as if he had swallowed a dead mouse.
"Is fifty too many..." Li Xuan smiled bitterly, "Actually, any less..." Lu Benhong interrupted him with a wave of his hand, took out a crystal card and stuffed it into Li Xuan's hand.
He said in his hand: "This is the crystal card of Damo Bank. Its face value is 10,000 spirit stones. You can redeem it at any time at any branch of Damo Bank."
"What...what!"
This time it was Li Xuan's turn to be shocked, "Ten thousand! Are you kidding me?"
The crystal card has the words "10000" written on it, and it is also stamped with the authentic seal of Damo Bank! "Old sir, why did you give me so many spiritual stones!"
Although Li Xuan has also been rich, wasn't that in the past? Now money is too tight, and it was a bit shocking for a while.
Lu Benhong gave Li Xuan a blank look and said word by word through his teeth: "Don't be so hopeless, okay?
Don’t say ten thousand, as long as you want it, one hundred thousand or one million spiritual stones is no problem!”
Li Xuan blinked a few times and suddenly said warily: "Sir, old man, if you gave me so much money, do you have some intention against me?
Let me tell you, I am a performer and not a prostitute!"
"Bah, why do I want your body!"
Ruben Hong said angrily.
"Anyway, I can't accept such a large sum of spiritual stones. I'm afraid I won't be able to pay it back."
Li Xuan shook his head and said.
Daluo Jinxian cannot owe such a favor, lest he cannot afford to repay it later.
Perhaps this is the dignity and troubles of the strong... Lu Benhong looked at Li Xuan: "I can't tell that you are still a very principled person. In this case, let's make an agreement. This ten thousand spirit stones will be regarded as a deposit.
, if you refine higher-level immortal talismans in the future, you need to give priority to selling them to me.
Of course, our friendship is friendship and business is business, and we will all trade according to the market price, how about it?"
"In this case...it's a deal!"
Li Xuan thought for a while, then nodded solemnly and agreed.
With the friendship of Ten Thousand Spiritual Stones, Li Xuan and Lu Benhong have become much closer, and they can finally ask questions that were inconvenient before.
"Old sir, if you are so strong, why are you hiding in a small place like Chiji Town where birds don't poop?
What is your plan? Can you tell me a little bit, otherwise I won't be able to sleep at night."
Li Xuan asked.
Ruben Hong scratched his gray hair, looked around for a few times, and then lowered his voice and said, "I'm here to find a group of people. They call themselves Black Cloud Thieves. Have you heard of them?"
"You're looking for them too!"
Li Xuan was taken aback.
"Why, are you looking for them too?"
Ruben Hong was equally surprised.
Li Xuan hurriedly told what happened to the Li family. Lu Benhong frowned and said, "I heard about the attack on the Li family, but I didn't expect that it was them. In that case, Li Yunyan also investigated
Got some clues, do you know that the Black Cloud Thieves once operated here?"
"Yes, that's why grandpa sent me here to investigate."
Li Xuan said, "By the way, who are these guys?"
"I don't know what kind of people they are. These guys seem to have suddenly popped out of the stone. They are large in number, strong in strength, and the organization is even more secretive and strict."
Ruben Hong said, “Since last year, this group of people has committed several major cases in the southern provinces, causing panic.
I have been following their traces, but these guys are so cunning, they often change places after just one shot, leaving no trace at all."
Hearing what Lu Benhong said and thinking about the sneak attack on Kuixing Castle that day, Li Xuan couldn't help but nodded and said: "They are indeed not simple."
"I have been hiding in Chiji Town for two months, and I have found some clues.
If I'm lucky enough to catch one or two important people this time, I might be able to reveal the secret of the Black Cloud Thief."
Lu Benhong said again.
Li Xuan said: "Old sir, since we have the same goal, how about we join forces?"
"Join forces?"
Lu Benhong glared at Li Xuan for a few times, then suddenly showed a sly smile, "Okay, but you have to teach me a few more tricks!"
Li Xuan nodded without hesitation: "No problem!"
Another seven or eight days passed in the blink of an eye. During this period, Li Xuan still maintained his dissolute image, but no one knew that he went to Lu Benhong's courtyard every night.
The two of them became each other's teachers tacitly, and Li Xuan taught Lu Benhong's talisman formation techniques. The old man and the young man became friends forever, and they had a lot of fun every day.
Of course, they did not forget their mission. In the past few days, the two of them found some traces and basically locked in a family.
The owner of this family is named Wang Di. On the surface, he is a businessman who travels between Chiji Town and Xianyun City. He makes a living by selling some daily necessities.
However, after careful observation by Li Xuan, he found that strangers often sneaked into his home, and there seemed to be something wrong with the goods he sold, as there seemed to be some items other than daily necessities hidden inside.
Once the target is locked, it is easy to handle. All that remains is to close the net, but before that, Li Xuan must go home and ask Li Yunyan for instructions.
After another night of running around, Li Xuan returned to the outskirts of Xianyun City on a skinny horse.
When he was in Xianyun City, he didn't think anything of it, but when Li Xuan returned from that small place in Chiji Town, he realized that this place was so prosperous! Li Xuan went straight back to Kuixing Castle to meet Li Yunyan.
After meeting Li Yunyan, Li Xuan returned to his small courtyard, but did not see Chen Meina.
Chen Mina appears and disappears. God knows where she has gone. Li Xuan is used to her routine and is not too surprised.
Since Chen Meina was not found, Li Xuan left the house. He came back this time not only to report the news, but also with the intention of making the first pot of gold.
