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

"An A-grade aptitude, with ample Primeval Essence, filling eighty to ninety percent of the Aperture, such a person naturally possesses the highest talent and is most suitable for Gu Master cultivation, capable of reaching even higher realms..."

In the Gu Yue village's family academy, the elder was explaining in detail the differences between the aptitudes of Gu Masters.

Upon hearing the description of an A-grade aptitude, the people present couldn't help but look towards two young boys.

One was Gu Yue Fang Zheng, sitting in the first row, and the other was Gu Yue Yi Xin, sitting by the window in the back row.

Their gazes wandered back and forth between the two, each person's eyes revealing emotions of envy and jealousy.

The two protagonists under the spotlight, however, displayed different reactions. Gu Yue Fang Zheng held his head high, trembling slightly with unease, the corners of his mouth betraying his immense joy.

Gu Yue Yi Xin, on the other hand, remained calm, holding a pen and seemingly drawing something.

After looking at these two, their gazes shifted to Fang Yuan, who was fast asleep in the last row, eliciting occasional snickers.

Whispers and gloating filled the air, comparisons to Fang Zheng were made, and some couldn't help but burst into laughter.

However, there were two people who didn't care at all, seemingly oblivious to the various sounds in the room:

Fang Yuan, still buried in sleep, and Yi Xin, continuing to wield his pen.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the sun was nearing the western mountains.

Yi Xin, carrying a package of herbs, hurried towards home.

"It's getting dark, time to brew medicine for Mother."

"Wait, who's there?"

Suddenly, he stopped, looking ahead with suspicion. Four men stood before the wooden door of his home, their faces displaying lewd smiles and狰狞 expressions, the leader bearing a deep scar.

Yi Xin felt a sense of foreboding. These guys were probably here to cause trouble for his mother. He quickly ran towards his house.

"Who are you? What are you doing here!"

Just as the four men were about to kick down the wooden door, a figure shot in front of them.

It was a slender young boy, even somewhat frail, his delicate face filled with alertness, his bright eyes revealing a hint of ferocity.

"Yo yo yo, where did this little brat pop out from?" One of them said, shaking his head with disdain.

"Ah, this must be that pretty widow's son. This little guy is quite handsome."

"Yeah, yeah, I wonder what his mom is like... hehehe."

"Hehehehe." The four of them erupted in obscene laughter, the kind that made it clear they were nothing but animals.

"Don't even think about touching my mother!" Yi Xin clenched his fists, staring intently at these brutes.

Seeing Yi Xin's eyes, which seemed to be spitting fire, the scarred leader let out a strange cry, "Aiyo~ What's wrong, little brat? You think you can beat us?"

As he spoke, he kept approaching Yi Xin, his lewd gaze gradually turning malicious. He suddenly reached out his hand, about to touch Yi Xin's head.

Yi Xin reacted instantly, his eyes hardening, and he immediately struck out. He gritted his teeth, slamming his clenched fist hard into the man's abdomen. With that punch, the man seemed to turn into a cooked lobster, bending over with a red face, drooling.

The other three were even more surprised. They didn't expect this frail young boy to attack directly, and they were stunned for a good while.

Their confusion didn't mean Yi Xin was confused, because he deeply understood that in the Gu world, might makes right.

It took a while for the three to regain their senses. As soon as they did, their faces turned fierce, their cruel eyes seemingly wanting to flay Yi Xin alive.

But before they could take further action, the man who had been heavily struck by Yi Xin slowly retreated, and this retreat caused the three who had rushed up to freeze in place, dumbfounded.

In their line of sight, Yi Xin was still in the stance of throwing a punch. There was nothing special about this stance, but at the end of this stance, on Yi Xin's fist.

At this moment, it was emitting a bronze-colored glow. This was the color of Primeval Essence possessed by a Rank 1 Gu Master.

"You, you wouldn't be..." One of them stammered.

"I'm telling you, don't let me see you again."

Yi Xin's tone was cold, and his eyes flashed with icy light.

"Get lost!"

His voice wasn't loud, but it sounded deafening, making people tremble.

Hearing this low roar, the few men no longer had their previous arrogance, and they were all scared out of their wits, turning around and running. As they ran, they shouted, "Run, he's a Gu Master!" as if they had seen some terrifying monster.

Yi Xin stared fiercely in the direction they were running, and after he could no longer see them, he rushed back into the house with a worried expression.

"Mom! Are you okay?"

As soon as Yi Xin opened the door, he found his mother standing by the door.

"I heard everything at the door." Gu Yue Qing Yao affectionately stroked Yi Xin's hair, comforting his nervous emotions like soothing a kitten.

"Mom, I'm a Gu Master now, I can protect you. When I earn more Primeval Stones in the future, I'll cure your illness."

"I know, I know, Yi Xin is the best."

......

After serving his mother medicine and putting her to sleep, Yi Xin went to the vegetable garden, looking at the gradually sprouting green vegetables, his thoughts drifted away.

Two weeks had passed since he transmigrated, and he had completely understood his situation. In addition to his rather poor family situation, he also understood his surrounding living area.

Gu Yue Yi Xin's home was located on the edge of this Gu Yue village. Generally speaking, most of the people who lived here were those without power or status.

It was close to the mountains, located in a remote area, and the people who came and went were complex. Gu Yue Qing Yao was beautiful and was a well-known beauty in the area, so from time to time, some hooligans came to make trouble.

But all of this would change because Yi Xin became a Gu Master.

Of course, what worried Yi Xin wasn't his and his mother's current life, but the future that was about to happen on Qing Mao Mountain.

As a transmigrator who knew the story of the Great Love Immortal Venerable, Yi Xin understood how dangerous the future was.

Beast tide, Gu Yue generation, Bai Ning Bing, a small Qing Mao Mountain, "wonderful" constantly, how many lives are enough to live? Even forced Fang Yuan to start the Rascal Cicada.

Even if Yi Xin was lucky enough to become an A-grade, he wasn't sure if he could survive in this copy, let alone his mother was a mortal, could he protect her?

"But he had just become a Gu Master, his strength was limited, even if he had more ideas, he was unable to do what he wanted."

"Take one step at a time, the first thing now is to improve his strength, he happens to be an A-grade aptitude, can obtain resources through the family."

"With resources, he can cure his mother's illness. When his mother is healthy, it will be more convenient for me to take her away from Qing Mao Mountain."

In short, I must live, I must live!
