Moments later, dozens of manuals from the Treasure Pavilion of Tianwu Sect were completely sold out by Xu Que, leaving large empty slots in his storage space.

And this recovery also caused changes in his personal information list.

"Ding, consumed ninety points of cultivation essence, 'Nine Transformations of the Soaring Dragon' successfully upgraded, current progress 100%."

"Host: Xu Que

Xu Que immediately felt as if a volcano had erupted within him. His meridians swelled, as if something was rushing through them.

Realm: Foundation Establishment Stage, Level One (Slightly Accomplished)

But everything had already returned to calm, his body felt no different, and no dragon roar emerged from within him again.

Experience Points: 600/2000

Xu Que furrowed his brows in suspicion.

Pretentiousness Level: 15 points

"Sir... Immortal, I..." Xiao Rou became instantly reserved upon seeing Xu Que, seemingly unsure of how to address him.

Cultivation Technique: "Ancient Five Elements Art" Beginner Chapter

A good person? He never considered himself to be a good person!

Skill: Dragon Soars Nine Transformations (Progress 01, First Transformation Mastered)

He simply knew clearly which things should be done and which should not.

Essence: Cultivation Method (530 points)

For instance, he would never bully these kind and simple villagers.

Occupation: None

Xu Que was immediately stunned: "What happened?"

Status: Prince Consort of the Fire Yuan Kingdom in the Eastern Wilderness Continent

Xiao Rou, anxious and distressed, said, "Brother Da Zhuang just came back from town and said that many immortals are holding your portrait and hunting you down. On the way, he even saw people from Beishui Village going to inform on you. After the village chief found out, he sent me to tell you to leave quickly, or it will be too late."

I'm sorry, but it seems like the source text you provided is incomplete. Could you please provide the full text you would like translated?

Damn it, it must be someone from Tianwu Sect.

The data shows an additional "highlight."

Xu Que hurriedly held her small hand and shook his head, saying, "Xiao Rou, I can't leave. If I leave, what will happen if those people take their anger out on you?"

Those dozens of manuals thus became five hundred and thirty points of cultivation essence.

"It's alright, the village chief said the immortals wouldn't hold it against us, and everyone has already taken shelter in the cellar. Come with me first."

But Xu Que didn't know whether this number was considered a lot or a little.

The thatched cottage was quite dilapidated. As soon as Xu Que walked in, he was immediately hit by a musty smell, like that of an old house that had been vacant for many years.

So, after pondering for a moment, he operated the system and applied ten points of cultivation essence to the "Nine Transformations of the Soaring Dragon." Instantly, a system notification sounded in his mind:

But Xiao Rou walked towards a cabinet, skillfully pushed it aside, and a passage leading underground appeared before her eyes.

This content has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

"Ding, consumed ten points of cultivation essence, 'Nine Transformations of the Soaring Dragon' successfully upgraded, current progress 10."

Xu Que heard her say that the villagers were all inside, so he didn't object and followed her forward.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully mastering the second transformation of 'Dragon Soars Nine Changes'."

He hurriedly asked.

Holy crap, so ten points of cultivation essence increase the progress by ten points?

"That's right! Immortal Master. I went to town and saw those wanted posters saying that anyone who sees you can kill you on the spot, as long as they bring your body to the Tianwu Sect," Da Zhuang hurriedly advised.

Moreover... he directly mastered the second transformation of the Dragon Soaring Nine Changes. Damn, this time he really hit the jackpot.

The remaining villagers also earnestly pleaded, urging Xu Que to leave quickly.

Xu Que was overjoyed.

Xu Que remained indifferent. He possessed the system and had cultivated the Dragon Soaring technique to its peak. By activating the ninth transformation, he could even slay cultivators at the Core Formation stage, so there was no need for fear.

Immediately, he used ninety points of cultivation essence, all of which he added to the "Nine Transformations of the Soaring Dragon."

The only thing to worry about is if that old woman from the Tianwu Sect comes personally. In that case, he would have no choice but to use the last "Elementary Divine Escape Talisman" to take everyone away.

At this moment, a loud crash came from outside, followed by a violent shaking under Xu Que's feet, as if the mountains and forests outside were collapsing.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for mastering the 'Nine Transformations of the Dragon' to perfection, mastering all nine transformations."

Boom!

Immediately after, he vaguely heard a dragon's roar, which seemed to emanate from within himself.

Xu Que widened his eyes and quickly focused his attention to listen.

"An illusion?"

"Knock, knock!"

At that moment, the small wooden door was suddenly knocked on, followed by a slow creak as it was pushed open.

Xiao Rou had just returned.

Xu Que smiled slightly: "Xiao Rou, you don't need to be so reserved. Actually, I'm just like all of you, only with a bit more cultivation. I should be older than you, so why don't you call me Brother Xu Que from now on?"

Xiao Rou pursed her lips and thought seriously for a moment before nodding with a flushed face: "Yes, Brother Xu Que, I... I just explained it to the villagers, but..."

But they still couldn't accept it?

There was no need for Xiao Rou to continue speaking; Xu Que had already guessed what she was going to say next.

However, this was to be expected, so he wasn't surprised.

"Ah, so be it!" He shrugged his shoulders, quite helplessly.

Xiao Rou walked up to him and said earnestly, "I believe you, you are a good person."

Xu Que immediately felt guilty.

But he was quite willing to deal with the bullies from Beishui Village and even those scoundrels from the Tianwu Sect.

I'm sorry, but it seems like the source text is missing. Could you please provide the text you would like translated?

Two days later.

Xu Que still stayed in the village. Xiao Rou gave up her room for him and temporarily moved to a widow's house across the street.

In the past few days, although the villagers did not kneel before him as they did last time, their words and actions had become incredibly reverent.

Each time, he would bow to him and say, "Greetings, Immortal Master. Do you have any instructions?"

Xu Que felt completely uncomfortable, so in the end, he simply stopped going out and stayed in his room, pondering over the system.

However, on this very day, Xiao Rou suddenly ran back from outside, too flustered to rest, and with a face full of panic, she said to Xu Que:

"Brother Xu Que, you must leave quickly."

"Are you hunting me?"

Xu Que was instantly furious.

Since coming to this world, I have only offended the group from Tianwu Sect.

Moreover, having emptied their treasure vault, they would definitely not let it go.

"Brother Xu Que, you need to leave quickly. Those immortals can fly, and they'll be here soon," Xiao Rou urged anxiously, while also preparing a travel bag for Xu Que.

After Xiao Rou finished speaking, she grabbed Xu Que's hand and hurried out.

Xu Que furrowed his brows slightly and followed her to a small thatched cottage at the end of the village.

Xu Que was instantly stunned; a small village actually had something like this.

"This is the cellar that everyone dug out to avoid being taken away by the immortals, and it leads to the foot of the back mountain. Da Zhuang and the others are inside now, follow me."

Xiao Rou spoke as she pulled Xu Que inside.

The cellar was dug rather casually, but it was solid and spacious. After walking for a while, they saw a crowd ahead.

A dozen or so villagers were hiding inside.

Upon seeing Xu Que, everyone respectfully greeted him with, "Greetings, Immortal."

"Huh?"

Xu Que suddenly realized that something was off; the number of people wasn't right!

"Where are the others? Why didn't more people come in?"

Xiao Rou explained, "The village chief and the others are keeping watch outside. If the immortals don't see anyone, they'll definitely get suspicious. Brother Xu Que, you need to leave quickly, and... and don't come back."

"No, I absolutely cannot leave," Xu Que said immediately.

He knew that if he left, these innocent villagers would surely face the wrath.

Xiao Rou immediately panicked: "Listen to me, if you don't leave, they will kill you."

"Boom!"

Immediately following, a voice resembling a reprimand echoed from afar: "How dare you! Where has this person gone? Hand him over at once."
