As Abel made his way to the village, he began to think about what he needed right now.
"According to what that young man told me, the villagers go out to hunt beasts and bring them to the village, so there should be a place of exchange or something similar, also if they have injuries, the village should have some herbs and medicines and even pills, although the latter I don't need."
What Abel hoped to find was a place where he could start to earn some money, or at least learn how the exchanges worked in the village, his goal was to be able to obtain a pair of swords that he could use.
"Also, although I don't have high expectations, maybe I will find some other spiritual plant that benefits me, like the protagonists of the novels in my previous life."
Abel while staying in that mansion in Kunlun, he had learned a lot about the different herbs and spiritual fruits, from the most common and useful to the rarest and mysterious, the problem was that what he learned was valid for Kunlun, not for this Azure continent, Still, at least he decided to go and see.
"I also need a backpack or something similar, *sigh*, a pity that neither Daniel nor Fillia gave me a space ring, otherwise I would not have this problem."
Although Abel did not know how rare these items are here on the Azure continent, he did notice that old Ben did not have one, or at least Abel never saw him wearing one, so his expectations of this were nil.
Thus, while reflecting on this, Abel quickly arrived at the village, and noticed that the guards guarding the entrance were not the same as yesterday.
Abel didn't think much about this and he rushed into the village and as he walked away from the guards, he didn't notice the peculiar looks on his faces.
"Hey, isn't that the kid you told us about?"
"Partner, you must be completely blind, clearly they told us that the child was a mortal who has just arrived, and that child who has just passed is already in the first level of refinement of the body, in addition to its stable base, it seems that it is wearing a time at that level."
"But based on what you're saying, then we don't let a complete stranger into the village?"
The guard, seeing the fearful look of his companion, could not help but shake his head and curse inside him before answering:
"You really are an idiot, right? Do you think that a child of your age with that cultivation base could create some kind of problem for the village? I also heard that in the morning some guests came to the village and stayed at the village chief's mansion, surely that boy is one of those guests, so you shouldn't worry."
The other guard nodded, completely convinced by his partner's words, then heaved a sigh saying:
"From his aura, that child must be one step away from reaching the next level, it also seems that his base is solid and his physical body resistant, surely he is a promising young genius of some sect."
Hearing this, the guard was shocked, giving his partner a strange look.
"How is it that you use your head for that? Besides, if he is a special guest of the village chief, obviously he must be a young genius, I think only the young master of our village is capable of comparing him."
"You mean the village chief's grandson who has the rare affinity for fire? If so, I totally agree."
Obviously, this conversation was foreign to Abel, who was asking some villagers about important places in the village.
At first, Abel didn't want to be so direct in asking him, but he didn't find a better way to address his doubts, so he ended up being direct in asking.
Perhaps because they sensed his cultivation base, they were very kind to Abel, answering all of his doubts quickly.
"It's just as I thought, they have a small pharmacy and an exchange room, luckily the villagers pointed out where they are, *sigh*, the difference in their treatment is too abysmal."
Remembering the expressions and looks of him only yesterday, it would seem that this was all a lie because of how he was treated today just because he was no longer a mortal.
"Although I may still be an ant in their eyes, at least now they see me as a fellow cultivator, *sigh*, the cultivation world can be quite cruel at times."
As he pushed these thoughts away from his mind, Abel prepared to go to the exchange room first, although he now had nothing to exchange, at least he could ask how the system worked exactly, so he could prepare for the future.
"The exchange room is not very far from the mansion on the edge of the village I was in, only a couple of houses from it."
Following the directions of the villagers, Abel reached a rather bustling area, where he found several villagers gathered, some of them carrying quite large furs.
At this, Abel observed them in more detail, recognizing them as the villagers who went hunting the other day.
"Wow, I didn't expect to run into them again, I suppose they're here to deliver their loot and claim some rewards."
Just as Abel thought, soon, from the exchange room, which Abel could differentiate due to its appearance and the agglomeration of the hunters, a young lady of about 20 came out, who, from what Abel perceived, should be in the 7th level of refinement of the body.
"Welcome back, dear hunters, I am glad to be able to see you again, please join me inside, my uncle is already present to be able to correctly evaluate the articles that you brought today."
Hearing the young woman's words, all the villagers cheered, but still in an orderly manner, they prepared to enter while arguing amongst themselves.
"*Sigh*, today little Lucy looks as beautiful as ever."
"And you say it brother, too bad I'm not a few years younger but..."
"HAHAHAHAHA, but what do you say mate, haven't you seen yourself in a mirror? Do you think little Lucy would go out with a guy like you?"
"What did you say! I dare you to repeat it to my face, you bastard!"
This conversation shocked Abel, who was looking from the side, in his mind, the cultivators were proud people who walked on a path of bone and blood towards the great Dao, seeing this exchange greatly astonished him, but it also made a smile escape. of his face.
"After all, we are still human huh."
Seeing how the villagers in front of him entered laughing, shouting and cursing, made Abel think that it would be better to return at another time, after all, the room would not move.
"Forget it, I'll be back another time, I don't want to ruin that jovial atmosphere."
And saying this, Abel turned around as he walked in the direction of the other place he wanted to know.
"I guess my next stop is the little pharmacy, I hope it identifies some useful plants for me, even if the odds are low."
With this thought, Abel quickly left the area, heading to the small pharmacy.
According to what the villagers told him, the small pharmacy was in a somewhat remote area of the village, as some herbs needed a special environment to store them.
Soon, Abel found himself in front of a not very big house, it was far from the town, and it had a sign with the name of "medicine" written on it.
"This must be the place, I'll go in and ask what they have, *sigh*, I hope to get at least one surprise."
With this thought in mind, Abel was about to enter when he heard screams coming from within.
At that point, Abel stopped in his tracks, hand on the handle, of his instinct as an avid reader in his previous world, deduced that if he walked in, he would most likely get into trouble, after all, not just anyone. He would come to shout in his own house to the one in charge of distributing spiritual herbs and medicines.
"But what the hell is going on today? At first, almost by being confused, I create an uproar in the village with my cultivation level, then I run into the hunters who have just returned and, now this? Is it a damn thing? joke?"
Abel could not help but curse his luck, (or destiny?) That led him to this situation, he was still in time to take a step back and return another day, after all, with the commotion inside, he doubted they had felt his presence for the moment, but if he delayed, he might get into more trouble.
"Ummm, to enter or not to enter, that's the question, well, I'm sorry, but I'm not a problem finder, obviously this matter has nothing to do with me, and even if I go in, I doubt that I can solve something, and even They could take it out on me, so I think I'd better go to the library to read."
Having made his decision, Abel turned around, walking quickly away from the door, and just as he was about to leave, it was violently opened, from which a boy of about 9 years old came out, quite enraged, shouting curses towards the pharmacy.
The boy looked at Abel for a moment before ignoring him, when suddenly another boy, this time his age, also ran out of the pharmacy in the direction of the boy who had left before.
Abel did not pay much attention to this, wanting to get away from the area, but unexpectedly and without anyone expecting it, that child who came after the boy saw Abel and with a surprised tone, shouted:
"Are you!"
