Oh no! I, the weakling, have become the villain!

He chose a long spear, a suit of armor, a pair of boots, and two pairs of cloth shoes.

Although these weapons are low-grade spiritual artifacts, their quality is quite good.

"Huh?" Just then, a surprised exclamation rang out.

Xu Yao frowned and looked in the direction from which the sound came. A man and a woman were talking there.

"Did you just hear that? Someone bought a low-grade spiritual weapon with forty-six spirit stones?"

"Yeah, I heard that too. Looks like he must be a tycoon."

"I wonder which one he bought? It must be that purple robe, I remember it very clearly."

"Hopefully we'll find some good stuff; we're really short on cash lately."

"This time, let's search carefully and try to earn more spirit stones, otherwise we won't have enough to eat."

Xu Yao frowned as he listened to their conversation. Why were these two saying such things? Weren't they cursing him?

Thinking this, he walked towards the two people.

"Uncles, do we have anything here that we can sell?" Xu Yao asked with a smile.

"Young man, what would you like to buy?" the man asked.

"Oh, I'd like to buy some medicinal herbs and materials needed for alchemy," Xu Yao said.

Materials for refining Foundation Building Pills and Barrier Breakthrough Pills.

"There are 360 ​​portions of these two types of pills in total, while the other pills will cost 12,000 spirit stones," the man said.

"Three hundred and sixty sets of materials cost thirty-eight thousand spirit stones." Xu Yao was somewhat taken aback; this price was indeed quite expensive.

"Master, can't we buy it?" Xu Yao asked.

“We can buy it, but I’m worried we don’t have enough spirit stones. If you want to buy it, you’ll have to pay more,” Xu He said with a smile.

"It's alright, Master, you can pay for it for me." Xu Yao said with a grin.

"You little rascal!" Xu He shook his head with a smile.

He then took out a bag of spirit stones and handed it to the man, putting away the pills.

"Master, where are we going now?"

"Let's go to the Xuan Tie Tower," Xu He said with a smile.

Xuan Tie Lou is the only shop in Yunzhou City that specializes in Xuan Tie.

"Mysterious Iron? Could there be Spirit Iron there?" Xu Yao said with some surprise.

He had read in a book that ordinary iron ore contains iron ore essence.

Xuan Tie is a type of iron containing essence, but it is difficult to polish and therefore very expensive.

"Probably not, Xuan Iron isn't as easy to find as Spirit Iron," Xu He said with a smile.

"I see, no wonder I hadn't seen it in books before," Xu Yao said with a sudden realization.

"Let's go check out the Xuan Tie Tower. Maybe we'll find some Xuan Tie if we're lucky," Xu He said.

When the two arrived at the Xuan Tie Building, Xu Yao discovered that it was much larger than he had imagined, and that it contained all sorts of Xuan Tie.

"Hello, sir. Our Xuan Tie Lou specializes in handling these Xuan Tie materials," a waiter greeted him respectfully.

“We’d like to buy some black iron,” Xu Yao said casually.

"Then please follow me, both of you." The waiter said, turning and walking towards the back.

"Young man, take whatever you like," Xu He said with a smile.

Xu Yao nodded and followed the waiter to the backyard.

The backyard was a mess, clearly indicating that a lot of things had been smashed.

"Things here are quite expensive," Xu He said, looking at the devastated backyard.

“Then let’s buy a bunch of scrap metal. I don’t mind,” Xu Yao said without hesitation.

Xu He sighed helplessly, and then accompanied him to another room on the other side.

"Shopkeeper, these are the materials our boss ordered," the shop assistant said.

"Alright, please wait a moment," the shopkeeper said.

The waiter then left, while Xu He stood in the room carefully observing.

Suddenly his eyes flashed, and he looked towards the corner.

There was a parchment next to the wall with a map drawn on it.

Xu Yao hurriedly picked up the parchment.

"A map?" he exclaimed.

Xu He took the parchment and examined it carefully. He discovered that it was indeed a treasure map.

"Master, have we found the treasure?" Xu Yao asked excitedly.

“Indeed, this is a treasure map, but we don’t know who left it behind,” Xu He said after pondering for a while.

"Master, do you know the origin of this treasure map?" Xu Yao asked in confusion.

"I'm not sure." Xu He shook his head.

"Forget it, it has nothing to do with us who left it behind," Xu He said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yao stopped worrying about it.

"Since it belongs to someone else, let's not force it. Let's continue buying materials," Xu He said.

Over the next few days, Xu He and Xu Yao strolled around Yunzhou City, but did not buy anything.

After all, they don't have that many spirit stones on them right now, so they can only slowly accumulate points.

"Master, look over there! There are two people openly robbing people. They're really not afraid of death!" Xu Yao suddenly said.

"Hmm? Let's go take a look." Xu He followed Xu Yao's finger and looked over.

Not far from Xu Yao and his group, a man in black was seen chasing a group of people.

"Hmph, this world is really chaotic. Someone actually dares to do such a thing in broad daylight," Xu He said with a cold snort.

"Of course, this world is a dog-eat-dog world."

"The rule here is survival of the fittest, and elimination of the weak," Xu Yao said with a smile.

"You seem to know quite a lot," Xu He said admiringly.

Xu He led Xu Yao straight to the battleground, where they searched the cultivators.

They discovered that the group didn't have many spirit stones on them, so they had no choice but to leave disappointed.

"It's ridiculous that my master and the others don't have a single spirit stone on them, yet they claim to be from some kind of family."

Xu Yao glanced at those people with disdain and said.

"Let's go, let's find a talisman master guild first," Xu He said with a smile.

"Master, what is this?" Xu Yao asked, pointing to the object on the ground.

Those were several storage rings, all filled with spirit stones.

There were more than five hundred spirit stones in total, and they were all put into storage rings.

“These are all storage rings,” Xu He said.

"A storage ring?" Xu Yao's eyes widened.

"Yes, this storage ring has a lot of space inside; it can be used to store things or pills," Xu He said.

"So this is a storage ring," Xu Yao exclaimed.

He had never imagined that such a thing existed; storage rings were legendary.

It is said that only those who have reached the Nascent Soul stage can use storage rings, which can be used to store items.

However, he is only at the peak of the Qi Refining stage and does not meet the requirements for using a storage ring.
