The Devil King? No, Please Call Me The Immortal King Xiaoyao.

"A Yuan Stone, hand it over," Fang Yuan said, holding out his hand to Yi Xin.

Yi Xin rubbed his shoulder as he stood up, reluctantly taking out a Yuan Stone from his coin pouch. After hesitating for a moment, he could only place it in Fang Yuan's palm.

This was the tenth consecutive day that Fang Yuan had obtained a Yuan Stone from him.

In recent days, Fang Yuan would wait at the school gate after school, collecting Yuan Stones from every student who passed by.

Initially, some people resisted, but after discovering that they could only be beaten up by Fang Yuan, many chose to give up. They could only hand over the Yuan Stones with a look of grief and indignation, avoiding him like the plague, and hurrying away, afraid that Fang Yuan would come looking for trouble again.

However, there were 4 exceptions: Gu Yue Chi Cheng, Gu Yue Mo Bei, Gu Yue Fang Zheng, and Gu Yue Yi Xin.

These 4 could be considered the toughest bones in the class, going up to fight every day, only to be beaten black and blue every day.

Coming to school each day, they would gain new 'badges of honor'.

Of course, this was nothing to Gu Yue Chi Cheng, Gu Yue Mo Bei, and Gu Yue Fang Zheng. After all, their families were well-off, making it easy to buy bandages or medicine.

But for Yi Xin, this was a real problem. After all, he was truly poor. Poor kids are like this. Yi Xin only needed to obediently hand over the Yuan Stones and spend money on healing, while Fang Yuan had many things to consider when exploiting his classmates.

After school, Yi Xin didn't go home immediately but went to the market.

Nothing much, just here to buy medicine, medicine for bruises and injuries.

"Hiss~ Boss, do you have any medicine for bruises and injuries here?" Yi Xin asked the boss, rubbing his sore shoulder.

"Yes, yes, young man, you must have fallen, right? Don't worry, apply my medicine, and you'll be fine tomorrow," the boss assured him with a confident look.

"How many Yuan Stones?" Yi Xin opened his coin pouch to check the amount.

"Young man, five taels will do," the boss placed a porcelain bottle in front of Yi Xin.

Yi Xin smiled slightly and took out a few Yuan Stone fragments from another coin pouch, handing them to the boss.

After the boss took it and weighed it in his hand, feeling that the weight was correct, his smile became even more amiable: "Young man, if you want to buy anything in the future, you can come to me. The quality is guaranteed to satisfy you."

"Naturally, naturally," Yi Xin put away the porcelain bottle, smiled calmly, and responded softly.

Suddenly, the sound of several people discussing came from behind him: "Brother Kuang said that this time, we must teach this brat a good lesson."

"Yes, yes, that brat doesn't know what kind of luck he had. That day, Brother Kuang personally led people to chase him, and they were about to catch him, but unexpectedly, a Gu Master jumped out to protect him."

"What Gu Master? Just a little kid, he doesn't even have a Gu Master's belt on him. He's not worth mentioning."

"I remember Brother Kuang was scared and ran back, wasn't he?"

"How can you call it running? It's clearly a strategic retreat!"

"Oh, right, right, a strategic retreat."

"In short, Brother Kuang has called Gou Si and the others. Tonight, they will go and kill those two little ghosts."

"Damn, those four are animals."

"Really? Just two kids, is it necessary to call so many people?"

"Hmph, you know nothing. Those two little ghosts have treasures on them. Okay, have you guys eaten enough? It's time to go to Brother Kuang's place."

"Yes, Brother Leng She."

Yi Xin turned his head slightly, staring in the direction where those people left, his eyes deep.

"Kuang Ao, does that little ghost really have Gu worms on him?"

The one speaking was a man with a scarred face.

"Why do you care so much? Gou Da, I'll give you money, and you just do what I tell you," a burly man stared at him with ill intentions.

Gou Da chuckled: "I'm just asking, no other meaning. Don't be angry, haha."

"Brother Kuang! The brothers are ready."

A gloomy-looking man walked over as the voice sounded.

"Very good, Leng She, make sure the news hasn't spread," Kuang Ao asked Leng She.

"Don't worry, Brother Kuang, the brothers are very tight-lipped. Moreover, we've been messing around here for so many years. Apart from Gu Masters, no one dares to provoke us."

"That's right, what are you afraid of? The two of us working together, what can't we handle?" Gou Da also echoed.

Kuang Ao snorted coldly: "Then dare you fight a Gu Master?"

Gou Da immediately shook his head: "I'm crazy, not stupid. How can a mortal like me provoke a Gu Master?"

"Alright, you guys go ahead first, I'll be there in a while."

"Hmph, in this world, power is everything," he muttered to himself. Suddenly, he thought of the Gu Master teenager who had killed his beloved dog that day, and those cold and sharp eyes fiercely ripped open his scars.

Kuang Ao used to be from the Xiong Clan Village. He was strong and sturdy since he was a child, far exceeding his peers. The neighbors all praised him for having the posture of a hero and that he would definitely become a powerful Gu Master in the future.

And he was quite proud of this, bullying others among his peers and even daring to openly violate some of the clan's rules.

Because he knew that no one dared to punish him, after all, he was going to become a powerful Gu Master.

Everyone even said that he would definitely become the clan leader, and he sneered at this, claiming that he would destroy the Gu Yue Village and the Bai Clan Village and unify Qing Mao Mountain.

As long as he wanted to do it, there was nothing he couldn't do, because he would definitely become the only Grade A genius in Qing Mao Mountain in the past 40 years!

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.

When he was fourteen years old, he participated in the Xiong Clan Village's Awakening Ceremony.

Before he was tested, the elders in the clan came to encourage him, discussing whether he was Grade A eight or nine.

And before he came to the spiritual spring, the expectant eyes of the crowd made him feel like he was in heaven.

Just as he was fantasizing about his great career in the future, fate played a joke on him.

Three steps, he only took three steps.

"No Gu Master aptitude," the elder's cold voice came.

"Oh, why did he only take three steps?"

"He's so big, but he's just a show."

"Hahaha, look at him trembling, like a beaten dog."

"There's no such big dog!"

"Yes, there is, a mastiff."

"We are the Xiong Clan Village, we don't want mastiffs."

…

"Gu Master! Gu Master!" Kuang Ao's teeth gnashed.

"As long as I become a Gu Master, that's enough, hahaha"

"Impossible, but you can choose to be reborn, maybe you will be in the next life," Leng She glanced at Gou Da.

Gou Da grinned, looking helpless: "No, buddy, I'm just fantasizing, can't I even dream? Don't tell me you don't want to become a Gu Master, a Gu Master, hahaha, do you understand…"

Leng She turned his head, closed his eyes, he didn't want to listen to Gou Da's madness.

"What are you barking about? Gou Da!" Kuang Ao's voice came.

"All day long, yelling non-stop! I heard that you went to trouble a widow before, but were beaten away by her child"

"Don't bring up what I don't want to talk about. If you have the ability, don't come to me, you can solve those two little ghosts yourself."

Kuang Ao didn't answer him, but he sneered in his heart.

He looked up at a dilapidated bamboo house in front of him, his eyes full of madness.
