Chapter 10, Redemption and Exchange

Oh, has the progress of Longteng Jiubian changed to 0.1? Is it because I just used it once?

Immediately following this, the group from Beishui Village knelt down in unison, their faces filled with fear, trembling all over, and they cried out in despair, bowing their heads to Xu Que in a plea for mercy

Xu Que hurriedly stopped them and said: "Villagers, there is no need to go; I have already taught Pang Bao and his men a lesson. They are now kneeling at the village entrance to reflect on their actions."

Xu Que was taken aback

After going through dozens of manuals in succession, Xu Que shook his head, finding them truly unworthy of his attention

Of course it is true! Xu Que nodded emphatically

Looking at Xiao Rou again, she remained frozen in place, her eyes filled with a profound sense of fear

Especially upon seeing the look of fear in Xiao Rou's eyes, Xu Que felt as if someone had fiercely tugged at his heart

Subsequently, she informed Xu Que about the matter concerning the immortal

Just right to try that recycling function first

At this moment, Xiao Rou finally came to her senses, looking at Xu Que in a panic and saying: "You... you are an immortal..."

Ding, recycling...

He was very dissatisfied with this speed. After a moment of contemplation, he directly opened the storage space and cast his gaze over the pile of magical artifacts and techniques stolen from the treasure vault of the Tianwu Sect

Have you never resisted

"We dare not ... ..." Xiao Rou did not think Xu Que was an idiot, and she shook her head in response

Xu Que muttered to himself and began to examine the introductions to those magical formulas

"Oh dear! You flatter me too much." Xu Que also smiled with narrowed eyes, as he enjoyed this subtle sense of pretentiousness.

Occupation: None

Boundary: Foundation Stage Level 1 (Slight Progress)

Xu Que could not help but ask

Xu Que found it somewhat difficult to accept that the people of Beishui Village were kneeling before him; he did not feel that there was anything unusual about it

Skill: Dragon Transformation (Progress 0.1%, First Transformation Mastered)

... ...

Experience Points: 600 / 2000

With a turn of the eyes, the system was summoned through consciousness

Suddenly, a voice filled with dread trembled through the air

Dragon ... ... this ... ... this is a dragon!

After all, in the Fire Origin Nation, cultivators almost all possess fire attribute spiritual roots, and the techniques they cultivate are all related to flames

The people of Tianwuzong would take some strong men from the village and bring them to the mountains, after which those strong men would vanish without a trace, their lives and deaths unknown

Xiaorou, do not be afraid, I truly will not harm you. Please tell me what is going on here

Ding, the recycling of "Flame Blade Technique" was successful, and five points of martial essence were obtained

"Of course it's true, I can defeat beasts, let alone a giant leopard!" Xu Que said with a smile

Is that true? Xiao Rou said timidly

Xu Que once again gathered his spirits and sat up from the bed

Upon seeing this, Xiao Rou finally regained a hint of color in her face and managed to calm herself down with difficulty

Subsequently, the gaze continued to sweep across, various kinds of Tianwu Sect techniques coming into view

Xu Que was somewhat taken aback; he had merely intended to test the power of the Dragon Rising Nine Transformations, yet he did not expect that with just the first transformation, he could kill the naturally strong Pang Bao with a single punch

He hurriedly dispersed the spiritual energy, and the dragon-shaped radiance on his body suddenly vanished, as he shouted to the villagers of Panshan Village

Sigh, forget it, after all, it is impossible to stay here for a lifetime. Once I help them resolve the issue of tribute, I should leave as well. The world is so vast, I must go and see it.

Ding, the recycling of "Fire Cloud Fist" was successful, and three points of martial arts essence have been obtained

Xu Que was taken aback

Martial Art: "Taigu Five Elements Formula" Beginner's Chapter

Ding, congratulations to the host 'Xu Que' for defeating Pang Bao and earning 400 experience points

But as soon as he spoke, he wanted to slap himself

What is this situation again

On the way, he encountered Dazhuang and others, who arrived late with the other villagers

Pretentiousness value: 15 points

Thud! Thud!

Xu Que turned his head to take a look and was stunned

Xu Que was anxious and looked at Xiao Rou, saying: "Xiao Rou, what is going on here? Quickly wake up the villagers! I mean no harm"

"What kind of immortals are you! I am just like you, a human!"

The villagers were instantly delighted, shouting: "Well done, young man."

He knows that once Dazhuang and the others become aware of his identity, it is likely that only fear will remain. Even if there is no fear, they certainly will not chat with him as casually and joyfully as they did just now

Upon hearing this, Xu Que was immediately filled with rage

"Yes, I believe you!" Xiao Rou nodded emphatically, finally feeling less afraid

Thus, the villagers are deeply afraid of the cultivators

"Lightness Technique, huh, it seems I can use it myself, I'll keep it for now." The first spell that caught his eye was the foundational spell of the Heavenly Martial Sect, the "Lightness Technique." Xu Que realized that he had not yet practiced any body movement techniques, and he immediately became interested.

Before he could grasp the situation, several muffled sounds unexpectedly came from behind him

"We are blind and ignorant, please grant us a chance at life, esteemed immortal..."

I... I have killed someone

The system notification sound echoed in my mind

Status: The son-in-law of the Fire Elemental Kingdom in the Eastern Wasteland Continent

Both Panshan Village and Beishui Village, along with other villages within a radius of one hundred miles, have always been under the protection of the Tianwu Sect

This made Xu Que let out a sigh of relief, glance at the group of people from Beishui Village, and then said: "By the way, Xiao Rou, let those people from Beishui Village continue kneeling, and tell them they are not allowed to leave until the sun sets"

However, Xu Que felt that these techniques appeared somewhat too ordinary and were not the truly precious skills of the Tianwu Sect. He decided to keep only one book on lightness skills and returned all the others to the system.

The simple villagers of Keshan Village worshipped him, and he could no longer bear it

After giving his instructions, Xu Que stepped forward and headed towards the village

Upon seeing him, everyone hurriedly asked, "Young man, are you unhurt? What about Pang Bao and his group?"

However, once there are no demon cores and the food supply is insufficient, the village will face punishment

Host: Xu Que

Yet the faces of the villagers were still filled with fear, kneeling on the ground, not daring to utter a single word

Returning to Xiao Rou's home, Xu Que directly lay down on the small wooden bed and sighed deeply, looking up at the sky

Several villagers from Panshan Village, despite their injuries, knelt before him pleading for mercy, their faces equally marked by panic

Ah! Immortal, please spare my life!

It turns out that to the east of Panshan Village and Beishui Village, there is a sect of immortals, which is none other than the Tianwu Sect

... ... ''

Because this issue is quite foolish, even if the people of the Tianwu Sect are weak, they at least possess the cultivation level of the Qi Refinement stage and have their own techniques. How could these villagers possibly be their opponents

Villagers, what are you doing? Get up quickly! I am only dealing with these bad people and will not harm you

Ding, successfully recycled "Dark Fire Sword Technique", obtained 8 points of martial arts essence

Emperor Tianwuzong is simply too overbearing, relying on his accomplished cultivation to oppress ordinary people, causing such unrest among the villagers.

However, every month, each village is required to pay tribute of grain to the Tianwu Sect. If a village kills a wild beast, it may use the demon core found within the beast's body as a substitute for grain

Immediately, a personal information interface popped up before me

Xu Que exclaimed in surprise, as if the progress of the spell could also be increased through the number of times it was used, although this method seemed a bit slow

Xu Que was very surprised. Are cultivators really that terrifying? Why do they all seem to see a deity, filled with such reverence

Ding, congratulations to the host 'Xu Que' for defeating Pang Bao, successfully showing off, and earning 10 points of show-off value

Ah! Really?" The crowd exclaimed in astonishment

Xu Que fell silent for a moment, leaned towards Xiao Rou, and said softly: "Xiao Rou, I will go home first. Please explain to the villagers that I am different from those from the Tianwu Sect. Tell them not to kneel and not to be afraid of me; I will not harm the people of our village."

... ...

How could this happen

"The Fire Cloud Fist, the Leaving Flame Sword Technique, the Dark Fire Sword Art... none of them are of any use!"
