Suddenly, as Xu Yi parried with his sword, he seemed to run out of strength, and the longsword in his hand dropped to the ground.
At the same time, the hovering shield that floated around him also fell.
The mustached man's eyes lit up and he burst out laughing, "Haha, kid, you've run out of Spiritual Power, huh? Let grandpa send you on your way!"
He thrust his sword straight toward Xu Yi's throat.
But at that very moment, the smile on his face froze—he saw the boy before him reach out with his left hand and grab the Magical Artifact sword he was wielding.
Not only that, Xu Yi stepped forward and struck with his right palm.
The entire motion was lightning-fast and executed while the mustached man was caught off guard in his joy, leaving him with no room to dodge.
"Smack."
A palm struck his chest, sending the mustached man flying through the air.
While airborne, he realized Xu Yi's palm had somehow grown to twice its original size.
Then came an excruciating pain from his chest as a strange force surged into his body, wrecking his internal organs.
He slammed into the ground heavily, but still stared wide-eyed at Xu Yi, muttering with all his remaining strength, "You… you're not Level Three…"
Xu Yi smiled faintly. Before entering this world, once he confirmed no one was around, he had immediately activated the Advanced Invisibility Technique to mask his aura at Qi Refinement Level Three.
He hadn't meant to bait anyone—he just wanted to keep a hidden trump card.
But now that he had encountered a robbery, naturally he would return the favor with interest.
With a cold snort, Xu Yi tossed the stolen low-grade Magical Artifact back. The sword flashed and pierced the man's throat. Blood sprayed everywhere. Dead on the spot.
Xu Yi's mouth twitched slightly—this was his first time killing someone, so it felt a little strange.
But after 700 days of hunting Demon Beasts on the deserted island, he had already gotten used to it.
If someone wanted to kill you, would you really spare their life out of kindness?
The school had long taught them how to handle such situations.
When it's time to be ruthless, don't act like some self-righteous saint.
Picking up the Magical Artifact he had deliberately dropped earlier, Xu Yi began to search the corpse. This was his first time looting a body, and he didn't expect much.
Sure enough, the robber was a pauper. He didn't even have a Space Bag.
After searching his clothes, Xu Yi found only three Spirit Stones and a book. As for that battered Earth-Rank Magical Artifact longsword, Xu Yi didn't even bother with it.
Found: 3 Low Grade Spirit Stones.
System Rewards (Optional):
1.300 Low Grade Spirit Stones.
2.3 Medium Grade Spirit Stones.
Xu Yi thought for a moment and chose the 300 Low Grade Spirit Stones.
His stock of Medium Grade Spirit Stones was already overflowing, and as a Qi Refining Stage Cultivator, he couldn't afford to use them recklessly in any world.
So, converting them into expendable Low Grade Spirit Stones was the smarter option.
Sigh… If Teacher Liu Yi ever found out that he had too many Medium Grade Spirit Stones to use, she'd probably lose her mind.
Found: Profound-Rank movement technique "Phantom Step."
System Rewards (Optional):
1. 100 copies of Phantom Step (Profound-Rank).
2. 1 copy of Ghost Shadow Step (Earth-Rank Advanced Technique).
Earth-Rank Advanced Technique?
Xu Yi's eyes immediately lit up.
His Elementary Five Elements Reincarnation Cultivation Technique and Giant Spirit Palm were both Earth-Rank techniques as well, but they were considered average among that tier.
The stronger a technique, the stricter its grading.
An Earth-Rank Advanced Technique far surpassed an ordinary Earth-Rank technique in value.
Xu Yi chose Ghost Shadow Step without hesitation.
The only thing he regretted was that this technique came in book form, not as a Jade Scroll of inheritance.
But then again, if it had been a Jade Scroll, that mustached man probably wouldn't have gotten his hands on it in the first place.
After cleaning up, Xu Yi continued toward the Large City.
This time, he encountered no more surprises.
Upon entering the city, Xu Yi returned to the place he had stayed previously and was pleased to find it hadn't been rented out.
He contacted the landlord and rented it again.
This city wasn't a small cultivator settlement—it was a massive metropolis guarded by a Nascent Soul expert.
So the resources here were extremely abundant. As long as you had Spirit Stones, you could buy almost anything.
Xu Yi set his sights on Supreme-Grade Qi Gathering Pills.
This type of pill couldn't be found in the smaller settlement from last time. There, top-grade Qi Gathering Pills were already the best available.
But here, Xu Yi found the elusive Supreme-Grade Qi Gathering Pill.
Of course, their price was astounding—over a hundred Spirit Stones for a single pill.
That was practically chugging Medium Grade Spirit Stones.
Xu Yi understood why these pills were so expensive.
It was because Supreme-Grade Pills had an extremely low production rate.
Even the Federation couldn't guarantee a steady supply.
For many wealthy families, buying a single Supreme-Grade Qi Gathering Pill was just for show.
Even if they could afford to use them, there weren't enough in circulation to make them a regular part of their daily regimen.
