After coming to this world, Yang Ze never really needed the money. He ate fasting pills that kept him full for seven days. His clothes were rather simple, and he didn't actually need all the resources and pills that other cultivators needed.

In a sense, money was the most worthless thing to him.

And yet, now this worthless thing was his biggest headache.

He didn't think he would be lucky enough to just roam around and find these materials. Not to mention whether it was even possible, and if by any miracle he even came across these items, how was he going to recognise them? And moreover, just how much time would it cost?

The more he thought about it, the more he realised just how dire his situation was.

Because of the urgency, he could only buy those items. As for how he was going to get all that money...

"Should I ask Cang Yue?" This was the first thought that came to his mind. Since she was the Grand Elder of the Sword Sect as well as the Saintess of the Demonic Sect, she might have money. Besides... the two of them were going to be husband and wife soon, so he could use her money without any guilt. After all, he was merely saving the life of his dear demonic pet.

But before he could take a step forward, he thought about Xiao Ruolan's words and how Cang Yue was extremely busy. He was afraid that he might disturb her, and with her unpredictable personality... he didn't dare to think about it further.

"Screw it... I will just try to find a way to make money."

Since he couldn't rely on someone else, he was going to make money by himself.

"So..." He focused back on the plump shopkeeper in front of him. "Where can I find them?"

------------------------

"You are leaving!" The moment Yang Ze reached the bottom of the sword cliff, he was greeted by Xiao Ruolan, who seemed to have been waiting for him.

"Umm..." Yang Ze was still feeling a bit awkward around her due to her confession, but he still nodded in response, acting as if nothing happened.

"Where are you going?" Xiao Ruolan asked again while looking at him with a gentle gaze that almost sent a shiver down his spine.

But thinking about how it could be his misunderstanding, he didn't think too much about it.

"To the Tianxu Trade zone."

"Oh!" Xiao Ruolan merely raised an eyebrow before nodding in understanding.

"How much do you know about that place?"

"Other than the fact that it is a place strictly for trading... nothing else." Yang Ze replied to what he had learned from the plump shopkeeper.

"In that case..." Xiao Ruolan merely nodded in understanding before speaking further. "There are a few things you need to know."

Taking a deep breath, she began to explain to him.

"Tianxu Trade Zone isn't a single power, but different sects have poured their resources into it. It is more like a free trade zone where people could exchange resources. Even though it is almost three thousand miles away from here, Heavenly Sword too had a share."

"There, three Soul Tempering experts oversee the safety of the place and any offence, regardless of its severity, would only have one outcome..."

"Death."

At this moment, Xiao Ruolan's voice turned serious.

"If you want to go there, do not cause any trouble and just exchange what you want."

"You do have the money, right?"

Her question instantly made Yang Ze lower his head in embarrassment.

"You..." Looking at his expressions, how could Xiao Ruolan not understand what it meant?

"Hmph!" With a cold snort, she reached inside her robe before pulling out a purse of gold coins and throwing it towards Yang Ze.

"It contains a thousand gold essence. One gold essence is one thousand gold coins."

"I believe it should be enough for whatever you want to buy."

Xiao Ruolan didn't even ask him what he wanted to buy or what he needed the money for. She just threw a large sum that was enough to put greed in the Core Condensation realm experts, as if it were nothing.

Fortunately, Yang Ze had no concept of money; he would have fainted from nervousness.

"Thank you..." Holding the pouch, which was still carrying the heat of Xiao Ruolan's body, Yang Ze merely muttered softly. Even if he didn't have an idea about how much money it truly was, it didn't stop him from thanking her.

"Don't fret over it." Xiao Ruolan merely waved her hand in dismissal as if it were something insignificant.

"Oh! That's right." She suddenly clapped her hands if she remembered something important.

"Do not..." Her voice grew incomparably serious as her eyes gazed deeply into Yang Ze's.

"Under any circumstances... DO NOT SHOW YOUR FACE TO ANYONE."

Even though Xiao Ruolan wasn't aware of his physique, she knew just how devastating his appearance was. If he dared to reveal his face to anyone outside... the consequences would be unimaginable.

"I know." Yang Ze merely nodded in response. He didn't need Xiao Ruolan to remind him about it. He already knew about it all. Even women like Cang Yue, Xiao Ruolan, Lin Yue and Lin Wan weren't able to resist his charm. He didn't dare to imagine how a normal woman would react.

"Hmm... take care." Xiao Ruolan merely whispered softly, seeing him off like a newlywed wife who is sending her husband on duty.

Listening to her soft voice, Yang Ze's heart trembled for a moment, but he didn't dare to stay there any longer. He just nodded without even looking at her, afraid that he would do something stupid.

Looking at his departing back, Xiao Ruolan stood there in silence for a long time before turning around and heading back to her room.

She could choose to accompany him and even protect him secretly, but she knew it would be of no use. In her eyes, Yang Ze was at the peak of the foundation forging realm, with numerous miraculous skills at his disposal. It would be almost impossible to kill him unless a Core Condensation expert took action.

Besides... She couldn't interfere in certain things too much. Especially in Yang Ze's case.

"Stay safe." She could only pray in her heart as she headed to her room.

"Well, if something happens to him, there is always a next time." Her lingering voice echoed in the empty space where Xiao Ruolan stood just a moment ago.

-------------

On the other side, Yang Ze, after walking out of the sect, took out the map he got from the shopkeeper after pawning his Amulet of Life, whose effect on him was minimal before choosing a direction.

"If I keep on running at my full speed, I might be able to reach there in a few days." Even though Yang Ze said this, he wasn't fully sure in his heart. He certainly couldn't keep on running for a long time with all his strength. Even with his recovery speed, it was an exhausting task.

He thought about taking the horse that he had been riding with Cang Yue, but after realising how he didn't even know how to ride a horse, could only give up.

"Do I really need to run?" It was at this moment that he suddenly realised something before slapping his forehead. "How can I forget about it?"

Without wasting another second, he immediately turned around and entered the Sword Sect once again. But this time, his target wasn't the market; it was the stable where the mounts of the members of the sect were usually placed.

Yang Ze's arrival caused the few members on guard there to raise their eyebrows, but they didn't stop him. By now, news about four women and a man taking on some of the most difficult mission have spread far and wide in the sect. They already knew who he was.

Yang Ze merely gave them an embarrassing smile as he hurriedly gazed around at the fifty or so mounts in the stable.

The majority of them were either large oxen, which were the size of an elephant or black horses upon which he had been travelling for such a long time.

It wasn't until he looked for a while that he finally found a target.

[Duskhoof Stallion]

[Age: 5 Years]

[Talents : Shadeburst Dash(white), Earthroot Vigor(white), Echohoof Mirage(white)]

Compared to the other horses, which were all larger in size but with one talent of running, this purple horse was not only smaller in size but also had three talents.

Yang Ze merely took a glance before muttering to himself.

"Sign In to Earthroot Vigour."

Right now, his problem wasn't speed, but endurance and from the name Earthroot Vigour, he could guess what this talent was for.

And sure enough, he soon got his answer.

[Congratulations on successful sign-in]

[Received talent Earthroot Vigour (Green)

[Earthroot Vigour (Green): Sustain a 1500 Miles journey over jagged rocks without pause or sustenance, while shrugging off bruises from falls or clashes.]

This was the first Green talent Yang Ze had, not because they were rare, but because in his eyes, they were trash.

But looking at the description of the talent, even he had to admit that it was the most suitable talent for the current moment.

Now that he had gotten this talent, he could finally focus on his journey.

After taking one last look at the purple horse in front of him, which didn't even put him in the eye, he left the stable silently.

And once Yang Ze was a few miles away from the sect, he took a deep breath and used his talent to run at his full speed.

"Holy Shit." The moment Yang Ze started to run, he felt his surroundings blur. At the moment, his speed was no less than that of the supercars he had seen in his previous life. The only difference was that he could even run across the rocky path rather easily.

With every step Yang Ze took, he felt like he was walking on clouds. Usually, he would have felt his strength draining or his breathing hasten, but now... he didn't even feel anything. The only thing he felt was leisure as he looked around with curiosity. But after realising that he couldnt see anything clearly due to his rapid speed, he gave up.

Yang Ze didn't know how long he had been running for.

He would occasionally stop, take out the extremely detailed map and take a look at it before calculating his current position, choosing the direction and running again.

This way, Yagn Ze kept on running for five to six hours when he stopped by the scene in front of him.

"In front of him was a small exquisite carriage that was surrounded by a bunch of wild wolves who were circling around it. The only person on the carriage was a middle-aged man who was clearly a mortal and was holding a long sword in his hand, trying to fend off the wild wolves while putting himself in the position between the wolves and the carriage.

It was clear that he was trying to protect whoever was inside the carriage.

"What's going on?" Yang Ze merely took a look. Although he found it strange that the wild wolves would attack a carriage that was travelling through the main road, he didn't think too much about it.

Scenes like these were common in this world.

He looked at the man and, after making sure that he was a mortal by viewing his personal panel, decided to help him out.

He wasn't trying to be a hero, but he couldn't ignore someone who desperately needed help.

Besides, the wolves were just wild animals, not even comparable to mortal warriors, much less cultivators.

Without any hesitation, Yang Ze simply picked up a few stones before aiming towards the wolves and throwing them.

*BANG

*BANG

*BANG

With a few consecutive sounds that were similar to firecrackers, the wolves that were surrounding the carriage died in an instant.

The middle-aged man couldnt even react for a moment. Everything happened so suddenly that he didn't even have time to register it.

One moment, he was about to die, and the next moment, the wolves around him were all dead.

This feeling of coming back to heaven after witnessing hell made him unable to stand up before he simply fell down in exhaustion, unable to even utter a single word.

"Are you okay?" It was at this moment that Yang Ze stepped forward.

"Tha... thank you." The man took one look at Yang Ze and almost kneeled in response. "Without you, my young lady and I would have died here."

"Young hero... please accept my thank you."

"No need." Yang Ze hurriedly picked up the kneeling man from the ground while shaking his head with a smile. "I just did what was right."

To Yang Ze, rescuing them was an extremely simple matter.

"Take care." Yang Ze patted him on the shoulder before turning around. He just helped him out of the goodwill of his heart and had no intention of getting to know him.

But before he could even continue his journey, a charming voice entered his ears.

"Young hero... You have saved our lives."

"Please give us a chance to thank you properly."

With this gentle and charming voice, Yang Ze heard the sound of the carriage door opening as a woman in her early twenties walked out with grace.

The woman seemed to be in her early twenties with long grey hair reaching her waist, which was tied up gracefully with the help of a jade hairpin.

Her figure was covered under a long, thick robe, but the occasional movement would slightly reveal her curves.

Even though she was wearing a veil, one could see her slightly narrowed eyes, which were enough to fill one's heart with endless fantasy.

And the most striking feature about her was her large, ample breasts, which were comparable to Xiao Ruolan and Cang Yue.

"Thank you, young hero." She once again thanked Yang Ze before bowing to him slightly.

It took a moment for Yang Ze to get out of the trance. He clicked his tongue in wonder, marvelling at the beauty of the woman in front of him.

Even though he couldnt see her face or figure, he was sure that her beauty was no less than Lin Yue or Xiao Ruolan.

Was this cultivation world littered with such beauties?

For him to come across such a beauty just after leaving the Sword Sect...

'Wait...'

Yang Ze's heart thumped for a moment as he immediately used his system to look at the woman's panel, and the moment he did, his heart almost jumped out of his throat as he almost fainted from fright.

In front of him... on the system panel, was just a name...

[Name: Lin Meilin]

[Age: ????]

[Cultivation Realm: ????]

[Physique: ????]

[Talent: ????]
