    ‘Posh, ssy, elegant, but low-key! That is it! He is the guy!’


    ‘He just looks no different from the weak and useless cultivators in the martial world, but when things get serious, he will casually show his incredible weapons, such as the Golden Soul Tower. How luxurious! How ssy!’


    ‘Oh my heavens... This is... so great...’


    The Dark Evil Spirit didn’t dare to neglect Ye Xiao. Even though Ye Xiao had been asking him all those stupid questions—the Dark Evil Spirit kept patiently answering him again and again. He was telling Ye Xiao all the details of all the answers to the questions...


    Because of that, the Dark Evil Spirit realized something about himself. ‘Holy heavens. I just realized I can be a perfect teacher if I teach people for a living... I am so good at giving lessons... Holy heavens...’


    The Dark Evil Spirit kept talking and talking on the way forward, and he started to feel light-headed.


    ‘I have done a lot of things. I fight, and I kill. However, I have never done this before!’


    ‘Am I a guard? Or a babysitter?’


    ‘Or, am I a guard who is a babysitter at the same time?’


    For several times, he gritted his teeth and wanted to quit. ‘I am not going to exin this! I don’t want to teach you anything anymore! I want to kill you instantly with a one palm hit!’


    Well, he didn’t dare to really do it...


    After all, he was an experienced cultivator in the martial world. He well understood which was more important. Although he already felt that it was extremely difficult to endure, he still did it!


    When Ye Xiao told the Dark Evil Spirit something, in the end, the Dark Evil Spirit was broken down in the heart.


    “Brother Dark, I don’t have any money...”


    The Dark Evil Spirit almost cried out in tears. He was hurt, mentally hurt. ‘What the hell? You didn’t even bring money with you? Can you even be more stupid?’


    ‘Are you addicted to be relying on somebody else? On me?’


    ‘I am your guide, your guard, and your babysitter! I don’t get paid, and I have to pay for you! What am I to you?’


    He was mentally and physically hurt, and his pocket was hurt as well!


    The Dark Evil Spirit didn’t try to cover the sad look on his face. He said, “You don’t have money? How do you live your life when you were home?”


    “I never need to spend money when I was home.” Ye Xiao was an expert in pretending to be a young lord who did not know anything about real life. He ndly said, “I just took whatever I liked. To be honest, it was my first time to see money a few days ago. Those spirit coins, I saw people using them.”


    The Dark Evil Spirit nearly passed out. ‘Holy hell... Are you telling me there actually are people who haven’t seen money in his life?’


    “When I was free at home, I always gambled with my friends. Oh, the Golden Soul Tower, I won it from Ling Wuxie. He gave it to me for a friend of his. Hmm. I can still remember how he insisted on giving me the Golden Soul Tower. I should have refused him a few more times.” Ye Xiao casually spoke out the story he made up like it was nothing.


    ‘The Golden Soul Tower!’


    ‘He gave you the Golden Soul Tower for his friend?!’


    ‘That sent out too much information!’


    The Dark Evil Spirit actually quivered.


    ‘Ling Wuxie gave this man the Golden Soul Tower to pay the debt for his friend?’


    ‘Ling Wuxie insisted giving him the Golden Soul Tower! The young lord refused it a few times!’


    ‘That is explosive!’


    ‘Are you telling me, when Ling Wuxie gave you the Golden Soul Tower, you actually refused it? You actually refused it for several times?’


    ‘Holy hell! You are an expert of showing off, aren’t you?’


    ‘Wait a minute... Gamble with your friends? Ling Wuxie gave you the Golden Soul Tower for his friend who lost in the gamble! It sends out even more information... Those friends, who gambled with this man must be some influential figures. Ling Wuxie would rather give up his Golden Soul Tower than repudiate the debt. Those friends of this young man must be in high positions in the world. They must be roughly at the same level as Ling Wuxie!’


    ‘What are those people, who are at the same level as Ling Wuxie?’


    The Dark Evil Spirit immediately stopped himself from thinking deeper about it. He didn’t dare to think any deeper. Suddenly, he felt that he was smaller than he thought now. He felt it lucky that he didn’t do anything to hurt this young man.


    “People win and lose while gambling. You may be a lucky guy, but I don’t think you always win. What happened when you lost?” The Dark Evil Spirit pretended to be curious about the gambling thing, and he knew how disgustingly pretentious he was.


    “Of course, sometimes I lost, and I would give them this... to pay off my debts.” Ye Xiao knew how valuable the metals he had refined in the Gold Space.


    In fact, nothing inside his Boundless Space was normal. Back to the days when he was in the Land of Han-Yang, Ling Wuxie once had talked to Ye Xiao about the Golden Soul Tower. Even if Ye Xiao took it as his life treasure; he wouldn’t be able to operate the Golden Soul Tower, because he was too weak. In fact, when Ling Wuxie gave Ye Xiao the Golden Soul Tower, he also gave him some special golden energy essence from the Human Realm Upon Heavens. The golden energy essence could provide energy to the Golden Soul Tower. However, he only gave Ye Xiao over thirty pieces of the essence. Once they were used up, there was nothing more left!


    However, Ling Wuxie didn’t know about Ye Xiao’s amazing East-rising Purple Qi! Ye Xiao was weak in cultivation indeed; but because of the East-rising Purple Qi, he could actually activate the Golden Soul Tower with the weak power of his. Therefore, the golden essence became decoration!


    In fact, there were more about Ye Xiao that Ling Wuxie didn’t know. Ye Xiao could use the Golden Soul Tower with his own power, and the Gold Space in his Boundless Space could absorb all metals and reforge them into new golden energy essence. However, it didn’t work well in the Qing-Yun Realm and the Land of Han-Yang. However, when Ye Xiao collected the ancient weapon scraps and put them into the Gold Space, he tried to make some new golden energy essence. What surprised him was that it went perfectly well, so he made numerous pieces of the golden energy essence. He was still weak at the moment, but because of the inexhaustible golden energy essence, he could keep the Golden Soul Tower running for a long time!


    Now, this was the best chance to show off the great treasure he had. After all, it concerned his life. If he didn’t make good use of the chance, it would waste the time he spent to ask those questions!


    He took out a few pieces of Star Trace Iron and other types of mysterious metals, then threw it in his hands. Ye Xiao half closed his eyes, and said with a smile, “People like these things...”


    What surprised Ye Xiao was that the Dark Evil Spirit was totally shocked.


    Ye Xiao turned around to look at the man and saw the man staring at the metal in Ye Xiao’s hand with saliva dripping off his lips.


    “What is it, Brother Dark? What happened?” Ye Xiao was satisfied when he saw how the metals shocked the Dark Evil Spirit, but he pretended to be curious.


    “Star Trace Iron... Initial Spirit Gold... Cloud Mist Silver... Oh... Oh my heavens...” The Dark Evil Spirit lost his mind, murmured and said, “These are... All these... are things that exist in myths, that haven’t appeared in the world for centuries... Howe all these things showed up in front of me all of a sudden? Oh my heavens...”


    Ye Xiaoughed and said, “Stop it, Brother Dark. Stop teasing me. There are a lot of these things in the storehouse of my n. Well, I have lost a lot to the others, but I don’t think it matters that much... Hah hah... If you like them, just take a few pieces.”


    The Dark Evil Spirit jumped up high like he got an electric shock. He kept shaking his head and said, “No, no, no... I don’t think I can take any of these.”


    Ye Xiao kept pushing the metals into his hands and said, “Come on, just take them. Just a few useless metals. What is the value of it anyway? Stop being too polite to me!”


    The Dark Evil Spirit kept turning it down but kept staring at a piece of some shining thing among those metal blocks. His eyes were filled with greed, but he did not dare to take it.


    ‘Of course not! That is some incredibly valuable thing!’


    ‘The young lord apparently doesn’t know how valuable these things are. That is why he is so generous to me. If I take any of these great treasures, and if people from the Ye n get to know that I take these things from their young lord while knowing it is a mistake, then...’


    ‘Oh my heavens...’


    ‘I could have been a friend to the powerful n, but if I take these things, it will make me look like a contemptible person!’


    The Dark Evil Spirit could totally imagine how miserable he would be if he took the metal blocks.


    “I can’t take it... No, I can’t... No, no, no...”


    “Come on, take it! Why not? It’s fine. Stop pretending! Take it...”


    “No, I can’t. No, no, no...”


    The Dark Evil Spirit kept refusing it, but his heart was in pain because he had to refuse it. Tears kepting out in his eyes, and he had to hold those tears back.


    ‘One day ago, just one day, if I saw these things, I would ughter an entire city to take them as soon as I could. I truly never thought that I would be in this situation.’


    ‘Somebody is offering me something extremely valuable. It truly hasn’t happened to me ever in my life.’


    ‘However... I actually have to turn it down... I do want it! I want it so much!’


    ‘This is... This is something that never happened to me ever in my life!’


    ‘Since when I became somebody who says things different from what he thinks?’


    ‘I am not a good man. I am the Dark Evil Spirit. However, I have never lied about what I thought ever!’


    What the Dark Evil Spirit wanted to do the most was to cry out loud in tears, just to vent out the anger and grief in his heart.


    He wanted to cry, and he wanted to leave.


    However, he couldn’t leave, and he couldn’t cry either.


    “Brother Dark, listen to me. I have no idea how important money could be, but I am sure I will learn a lot while traveling the martial world. Please, I can’t spend your money all the time...” Ye Xiao nicely smiled. After eating a lot of expensive meals and paying nothing, he finally said something nice.


    “Hmm...” The Dark Evil Spirit didn’t know what to say anymore.


    In fact, he wanted to pretend generously and said, “Never mind the money. I can afford much more than this. Money doesn’t mean anything to me.”


    However, he couldn’t say it.


    The reason was simple. After several days of staying with Ye Xiao, the Dark Evil Spirit had experienced the difficulty of being poor. He figured the money he had left was not going to support them both for a longer time!


    The young lord of the great Ye n was a man who had stay in seclusion for his life. Money didn’t mean too much to him, so he surely spent money like he had endless of it to use... The Dark Evil Spirit really didn’t want to think about it.


    The food and drinks Ye Xiao required daily had cost so much, that the Dark Evil Spirit wanted to drown in his own tears!


    Perhaps, in somewhere else, a powerful cultivator like the Dark Evil Spirit could eat and drink for free because people would fawn on him. However, they were in the Limitless Ocean. Nobody in the Limitless Ocean fawned on anybody!


    After all, those who could manage a restaurant in the Limitless Ocean were all pretty influential people. These people either had excellent cooking and fighting skills, or incredible backgrounds. None of them were ordinary.


    Their food was always expensive, but it made sense because they always used top-grade materials for the dishes.


    Eating special food in a special restaurant in a special ce—the price should be special. The price here was at least ten times higher than the same food in other ces.


    There was a course called Sky Rocket. The main material was the spiritual beast, Rocket Fox. The Rocket Fox’s meat was in stunning quality, and it contained spiritual qi. It was definitely a top-grade cuisine. In some top-level restaurants of some normal cities, it only cost about fifty white spirit coins for the Sky Rocket.


    However, in the Limitless Ocean, it cost at least ten ck spirit coins.


    (Author’s Note: In the real world, the Sky Rocket may cost about five thousand dors. That is pretty expensive. However, in the Limitless Ocean, it costs about a hundred grands. One hundred grands for one dish. Even the billionaires had to really give it a second thought carefully.)


    It was fifty white spirit coins somewhere else, yet it cost ten ck spirit coins in this ce... What an unbelievably expensive ce.


    That was the prices in the Limitless Ocean!


    In fact, the Dark Evil Spirit didn’t need to worry about the Sky Rocket, because our honorable Lord Ye never wanted to eat that at all.


    Well, he didn’t really want to save money for the Dark Evil Spirit... In fact, he didn’t find the Sky Rocket was good enough for him!


    Sky Rocket was a good name and sounded ssy, but Ye Xiao preferred those with simple names—Fierce Wolf Meat, Snow Hawk Meat, Soil Dragon Meat, and Spiritual Fox Meat...


    These were all much better than the Rocket Fox, and also much more expensive than the Sky Rocket... Each dish cost about forty ck spirit coins. Ye Xiao would order a full table of hot dishes like these every time.


    The honorable Lord Ye was enjoying everything on the table.


    “This one... Dashing Snow Hawk... Good. Tasty. Chewy.


    “And oh, the Fleeting Soil Dragon... Good taste. The spiritual qi is well kept inside the meat. Excellent...”


    “This one here, the Roaring Fierce Wolf. Good name, but not so good in its taste. Average level. Not rmended.”


    ...


    While he was eating, he gave remarks on the dishes. It cost almost five hundred ck spirit coins for each meal he had! (Author’s Note: Ahem... Imagine five million dors for some food...)


    What annoyed the Dark Evil Spirit a lot was that he ate as much for breakfast as he did for dinner. Three luxurious meals in a day, he didn’t miss even one! After a few days, he had already had over ten meals, and the Dark Evil Spirit was almost broke for paying the bills, and he was totally already broken down in his mind.


    ‘I... My cultivation level is high... I have quite some money with me... I should be a rich man in the world, but... but I am an itinerant cultivator after all... I am just an itinerant cultivator...’


    ‘I don’t have as much money as the great ns... I can’t afford all these absurd expenses for a long time, can I?’


    The Dark Evil Spirit must be crying in tears in his heart.


    There was something the Dark Evil Spirit absolutely didn’t know. Ye Xiao was weak in cultivation. That was true, and the Dark Evil Spirit knew it. However, Ye Xiao had a pair of sharp eyes which could tell valuable things from the ordinary ones. He used to be working with Boss Wan, Wan Zhenghao in the salesroom in the Land of Han-Yang. Wan Zhenghao influenced him a lot. Boss Wan was also an extremely weak cultivator, but he had a pair of discerning eyes. When he looked at something beyond his league, he could still tell the value of it. He had to be excellent in discernment. Otherwise, how could he built up the entire greatwork of the Ling-Bao Hall in the Land of Han-Yang on his own?!


    Ye Xiao was indeed the best student of Boss Wan on discernment. Even though he couldn’t tell why the dishes were valuable, he clearly knew which dish was the most valuable one and which was next. As for the taste of the food, it was a joke to Ye Xiao. The Land of Han-Yang might be the lowest realm among all realms, but the food in this lowest realm was the best.


    Ye Xiao, as a young lord of a n in the Land of Han-Yang, did not have the capability of cooking, but he was excellent at gastronomic theories. Giving a properment on the dishes was just a piece of cake!


    As he gavements every time on every dishes, even the cooks were convinced. The cooks even respectfully asked Ye Xiao for advices!


    The Dark Evil Spirit made a long sigh for that. ‘He is indeed a young lord of a great reclusive n. All the expensive food in his mouth... I am impressed. It is true that when you live long enough, you will see all kinds of ridiculous things!’


    Every night, during the days with Ye Xiao, when the Dark Evil Spirity on the luxury bed in the luxury inn, he would p himself on the face and talked to himself, “You demeaned yourself! You are pathetic! You are a big mouthed idiot! You asked for this! You should have left the guy and everything will be perfect...”


    “Look at you now... God damn it... You are a guard and a babysitter now... who has spent almost half of your life savings on foods... Oh heavens... When will this stop?”


    ‘People earn money for being guards... I asked to be one for free, and I spent my own money... I actually spent a lot of money to serve others... I am so pathetic! I can’t believe it... I can’t believe this is happening to me... I, the great Dark Evil Spirit, actually got slowly bled dry by a kid... I am so f*cked up...’


    ‘Holy hell...’


    The Dark Evil Spirit even thought that this was a punishment from the heavens for all the dishonorable things he had done before!


    ‘Is the heaven always watching us? Does it know everything we do? Does it punish us for the wrong things we have done? When the punishmentes, ites fast, doesn’t it?’


    When he heard Ye Xiao was saying that he didn’t have any money; deep in his heart, he wanted to reply with some words that could show how generous and tough he was. However, he wasn’t so tough after all.


    Ye Xiao could be the only man in this world who actually made the Dark Evil Spirit soft!


    What should the Dark Evil Spirit do then?


    Ye Xiao nodded and said, “Look, we can sell a piece of my Star Trace Iron, can’t we? What do you say? I think we will get some money from it!”


    “Well, that is...” The Dark Evil Spirit was terrified.


    ‘Some money? That is some priceless treasure you are talking about!’


    ‘Well, that is not the point. The point is, how can you think of selling such a fabulous treasure just for some money?’


    ‘Do you even know what you are talking about? What the hell are you doing? This can’t be more like the acts of a ck sheep in the n!’


    ‘Well, that is not the problem though... The problem is, the Star Trace Iron is too rare in the world. Even though you want to sell it, I don’t think anybody in this ce can afford it! Besides, if you take it out and show it to others, you immediately be a target of everybody!’


    ‘They will rob you! They will!’


    ‘You will get me killed! You will!’


    ‘Oh my god!’


    Thinking about that, the Dark Evil Spirit almost cried out in tears again.


    “No, don’t do that. You can’t easily sell the Star Trace Iron, such a great treasure. I can still afford the expenses!” The Dark Evil Spirit was weeping deep in his heart but acted like it was nothing serious. He generously said, “Just some foods for these days. I don’t see much it could cost me anyway.”


    “You are such a nice man, Brother Dark. Well, I guess I won’t fail your kindness...” Ye Xiao pretended to be grateful.


    ‘Nice man...’


    The Dark Evil Spirit heard the two words, and he just couldn’t hold the grief and sadness down in his heart.


    ‘I... the Dark Evil Spirit... I actually be a nice man now...’


    ‘This is so weird that I want to weep for it...’


    ‘When you live long enough, you will see all kinds of ridiculous things!’


    ‘Well, is it really? Just some foods for these days?’


    ‘No! No! It is much more than just some food!’
