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

Chapter 543: Kung Fu

Thinking of this, Xu Yao slowly opened his eyes, a burning light shining in them.

"This technique is truly extraordinary." Xu Yao's face showed excitement; he hadn't expected it to be so miraculous.

"Alright, now it's your turn," said the shopkeeper.

"Yes, sir." Xu Yao nodded.

He then sat cross-legged on the ground and slowly clapped his hands towards the void.

A booming sound came from inside his body.

Xu Yao slowly slapped his palms toward the pyramid, and then he felt as if a powerful force had appeared in his hands.

He clapped his hands dozens of times in succession, each clapping out with tremendous force.

Xu Yao's mental strength continued to increase.

His body trembled slightly, and sweat began to bead on his skin.

Xu Yao gritted his teeth and walked step by step into the distance.

His footsteps made a thumping sound on the ground.

"Pfft!" Xu Yao spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Ouch, this hurts so much. It's really too painful." Xu Yao thought to himself with a bitter expression on his face.

Xu Yao knew that these were all the result of his insufficient mental strength and true energy.

If I could be like my senior brother, I would be able to get through any hardship or exhaustion.

Thinking of this, Xu Yao couldn't help but look at the shopkeeper.

When the shopkeeper saw that Xu Yao had stopped cultivating, he immediately asked him what was wrong.

"So, how much of this technique have you learned?"

"I don't know yet," Xu Yao shook his head.

"So there are still many places you're not familiar with, right?"

"That's right. The jade slip my master gave me only had the names of these five or six techniques written on it. I haven't practiced them yet."

"Alright then, since you still need to improve your skills in these five or six techniques, then you can practice this one for now."

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he pointed to the runes.

"What is the purpose of these runes?" Xu Yao asked.

"These runes possess a very special power that can help you enhance your mental strength," the apothecary owner said.

"I understand." Xu Yao nodded slowly, and then began to cultivate.

A smile appeared on his lips. He knew that once he mastered this technique, his combat power would experience a tremendous leap.

"Although your physical strength is relatively low, your mental strength is extremely high," the shopkeeper said.

"Of course, this is what my master taught me."

"Your master must be an extremely skilled alchemist."

"Yes." Xu Yao nodded.

"What is your master's name?" the shopkeeper continued to ask.

"My master's surname is Ye Feng."

"What?" The shopkeeper was taken aback upon hearing this.

"You mean Ye Feng is your master's disciple?"

"Yes, Master should be in the Sirius Empire right now. He is very powerful; he is a seventh-grade alchemist."

"I have already become his disciple, and I will be his only student from now on," Xu Yao said confidently.

"Your alchemist master is Ye Feng? No wonder." The shopkeeper of the pharmacy said with a sudden realization.

"However, you can only learn a few moves of this technique for now. Leave the rest to your relatives and friends and let them learn these techniques."

The shopkeeper said with a smile.

"That's for the best," Xu Yao nodded and said.

As time went by, the shopkeeper sold all the remaining medicinal herbs, and then he took out a Purple Gold Pill and handed it to Xu Yao.

"This is a miraculous healing medicine that can help you recover from your injuries quickly. This pill is my most prized possession," said the shopkeeper.

"Thank you, Master." Xu Yao accepted the pill and then expressed his gratitude.

After seeing that Xu Yao had already taken the pill, the shopkeeper immediately said...

"Alright, I'm leaving now. Keep up the good work, and I hope you can break through to the God King realm soon."

"I will definitely work hard." Xu Yao nodded upon hearing this.

The pharmacy owner then left the room.

After watching the pharmacy owner leave, Xu Yao immediately closed his eyes and began to cultivate.

He needs to improve his strength as soon as possible so that he can help his master avenge his master.

After the pharmacy owner left, Xu Yao entered the Valley of Forgetfulness again.

While cultivating, he searched for medicinal herbs, then picked some and put them into his storage ring.

Time passed day by day.

Xu Yao's clothes were soaked with sweat, and his skin was bright red.

He looks like someone who has just emerged from lava.

However, his spiritual power was still very abundant, and it continued to flow into the Golden Dragon Cauldron, causing it to continuously emit light.

Xu Yao, who was cultivating, had no idea that three years had passed in the outside world.

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Xu Yao has undergone great changes during this time.

His physical body has reached the peak of the eighth rank, and his strength has increased by a whole rank, not far from the seventh rank.

In the past three years, his alchemy skills have also improved rapidly, and he is now able to refine level nine pills.

"I have made great progress during this period. This batch of spiritual herbs and medicinal materials is enough for me to cultivate to the peak of the ninth level."

Xu Yao looked at the mountain covered with spiritual herbs, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

"It's time to participate in the auction competition," Xu Yao murmured, before leaving Forget-Worry Valley.

"Brother Xu Yao, I've been waiting for you here for half a month."

Just then, a young man suddenly appeared beside Xu Yao; he was the Chen family's butler.

"What are you doing here?" Xu Yao asked, frowning.

He didn't recognize the young man and didn't know what he was doing there.

"I am here on the orders of the head of the family to protect your safety," the butler said with a slight smile and respect.

"So it was Uncle Chen who sent this." Xu Yao was touched when he heard that it was Chen Hong who had given the order.

“Young Master Xu Yao, the patriarch said that your strength is already very great, and there is no need to protect your safety,” the butler said.

"The head of the family specifically instructed me to take care of your safety during this period."

"Uncle Chen is so kind to me." Hearing about Chen Hong's kindness, Xu Yao felt even more grateful to Chen Hong.

"Young Master Xu Yao, please follow me." The butler smiled slightly.

"Okay." Xu Yao nodded, then followed the butler.

Another month passed in the blink of an eye, and Xu Yao's strength had increased from the peak of the sixth rank to the early stage of the ninth rank in just one month.
