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

Chapter 635: Kung Fu

He chose to oppose Nangong Ao because he was certain of victory, but unfortunately, he was still one step behind.

Xu Yao returned to the house, locked the doors and windows, and then sat cross-legged to begin practicing his internal energy cultivation technique.

As he practiced his technique, the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) surged forth, and powerful forces rushed towards him.

After an incense stick had burned for a while, Xu Yao opened his eyes and revealed a relieved smile.

Although he has not yet reached the Refining Spirit Realm, he is already able to absorb the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

With enough time and effort, one can naturally reach the Innate Realm, and may even advance to the Legendary Realm in the near future.

Xu Yao did not get up immediately, but stood there quietly with his eyes closed and mind focused.

After a moment, he slowly extended his right hand, his five fingers clenched tightly, and his internal energy rapidly circulated throughout his body, eventually converging in his palm.

With a crisp sound, a white light appeared on Xu Yao's right hand.

"This is innate true qi? I actually cultivated innate true qi? How did I do that?"

Looking at the white light emanating from his palm, Xu Yao muttered to himself in surprise.

He knew that the Nine Yin Profound Meridian he cultivated belonged to the extreme cold attribute. According to ancient records, if he cultivated it to the perfect level, he could cultivate the Ice Soul Divine Fist, which was extremely powerful.

The Ice Soul Divine Fist has extremely demanding cultivation conditions, requiring the absorption of the most yang and powerful flames between heaven and earth to reach its full potential.

To cultivate this skill, one must possess a type of fire-attribute true qi.

But now he has mastered innate true qi! No wonder a white light suddenly appeared in his palm just now!

Xu Yao took a deep breath to calm his turbulent emotions. Next, he needed to consider how to improve his strength.

Although he has now mastered innate true qi, he still cannot use it.

Because although this innate true energy is powerful, it consumes too much energy.

If he relied solely on his innate true energy, he would probably have died before even reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, as his true energy would have been drained.

"It seems I need to find something to replenish my innate true energy," Xu Yao said after pondering for a moment.

He is currently at the third level of martial arts, so he should be learning how to refine pills.

However, the current social environment does not allow it, since alchemists are not as easy to recruit as ordinary people.

Unless he possesses exceptional medical skills or alchemy talent, he cannot attract the attention of an alchemist.

"It seems I'll have to look for materials from other sources," Xu Yao said with a wry smile, shaking his head.

Although he was a time traveler, the materials here were so scarce that he had no choice.

After a long pause, Xu Yao sighed, "Forget it, let's figure out a solution later."

In the following days, Xu Yao began his frantic cultivation again. Although his cultivation speed was relatively fast, he dared not let his guard down.

After all, he was now not only responsible for himself, but also for the safety of his entire family, and he absolutely could not allow himself to make any mistakes.

It wasn't until evening that a scene suddenly flashed through Xu Yao's mind.

The two jade pendants are bronze and golden yellow, respectively.

Xu Yao's heart pounded violently after seeing this message.

Although we don't know what the purpose of this jade pendant is, the fact that it can be mixed with bronze and gold means it must be an extraordinary treasure.

He originally intended to keep these two jade pendants for his family's survival, but now he has changed his mind.

"Since that's the case, then let's exchange these two jade pendants for cultivation resources," Xu Yao muttered to himself.

Thinking about it, Xu Yao went to the commercial street near the Demon Dragon Mountain Range to buy materials.

Xu Yao continued his stroll, and the first plant he noticed was called Crimson Blood Grass.

This Crimson Blood Grass is a plant that grows in magma, and its sap can be used to make elixirs.

However, it is very expensive, requiring 50,000 spirit stones to purchase.

"Looks like I need to get some money first," Xu Yao muttered, frowning.

He only had two hundred spirit stones left in his storage ring, which was clearly not enough to buy the Crimson Blood Grass.

"Huh? Is that a place selling talismans over there?"

Just as Xu Yao was hesitating about whether to continue exploring, he suddenly heard someone shout from the side.

Xu Yao raised his eyebrows slightly, then looked to the side.

Not far to his left was a stall, which was filled with all sorts of talismans that looked rather messy.

"What would you like to order, sir?" a cultivator asked as he approached.

Xu Yao glanced around the room, then nodded slightly and said, "I want to buy something."

"What do you need? Let me introduce it to you."

Upon hearing this, he immediately spoke enthusiastically, and led Xu Yao to a table to the side.

The table was covered with all sorts of talismans, making it look a bit like a general store.

However, it is quite different from a general store.

There were only runes and spells on this guy's counter, nothing else.

"Sir, everything here is specially provided for cultivators to use in their cultivation. You can choose what you need," the cultivator explained.

"Okay, then give me one." Xu Yao said.

After saying that, he took out a spirit stone from his storage bag and handed it to the cultivator.

This spirit stone is of very good quality; it is a low-grade spirit stone.

Upon seeing the spirit stone, the cultivator's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly took it.

"Alright, here's a thousand spirit stones, please accept them." The cultivator respectfully handed Xu Yao a box.

Xu Yao took the box, opened it, and found it was full of spirit stones.

"Hmm, not bad, quite valuable," Xu Yao praised.

This spirit stone is about the thickness of a thumb, and its surface is crystal clear, clearly indicating that it is no ordinary item.

"Of course, everything in our shop is top-notch," the cultivator said, flatteringly.

Xu Yao smiled and put away the spirit stones before leaving the talisman shop.

After returning to his room, Xu Yao carefully kept the brocade pouch containing the spirit stones close to his body.

He plans to go to the market tomorrow to see if he can find any suitable materials.

It was late at night, but Xu Yao lay in bed unable to fall asleep. The cultivation he had undergone in the past few days had not been of any help to him.

He couldn't help but sigh and said, "It seems I must improve my cultivation as soon as possible, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to live much longer."

Xu Yao made a decision in his heart, then sat cross-legged on the bed and began to practice the Nine Revolutions Devouring Heaven Technique.

The next morning, Xu Yao got up early, intending to go into the forest for some training.

Xu Yao arrived at the city gate and lined up to enter the forest to hunt monsters.

But while Xu Yao was queuing on the city wall, he suddenly saw a familiar figure.

"Isn't this Wang Peng? What's he doing here? Didn't he already join a sect?" Xu Yao wondered.

"Junior brother, do you want to enter the forest? I can take you there." Just as Xu Yao was thinking, this familiar figure approached him.
