Taoist cultivation begins with being a miner

"Boom!"

"Rumble~"

This time, after Lu Yan was hit, he was carried dozens of feet away by the huge blade energy.

The trees and rocks in the mountains were also reduced to dust by this attack.

Even the earth itself was ravaged by a massive ravine.

"Pfft~" With his magic power and physical strength exhausted, and his injuries aggravated once again, the multi-armed demon general coughed up blood for the third time.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

He thought this attack would completely eliminate Lu Yan, but unexpectedly, that damned voice appeared again.

Looking at the man emerging from the dust and smoke, the multi-armed demon general felt a sense of despair. The blow that had severely injured the Crimson Flame Demon Ningyi had failed to kill Lu Yan.

What kind of monster is this?

However, Lu Yan was also feeling unwell at this time.

His clothes were all torn, his skin was covered in wounds, he was covered in blood, and even his left leg was twisted and deformed.

Even so, Lu Yan still limped toward the multi-armed demon general, carrying the brutal staff.

"Damn it!" Knowing that he could do nothing to Lu Yan today, the multi-armed demon general could only sheathe his sword and turn to leave.

He never expected that a level three demon general like himself couldn't defeat a level eight demon soldier and had to temporarily avoid the limelight. It was truly the most ridiculous thing in the world.

With his target gone, Lu Yan began frantically swinging his brutal club, striking nearby trees.

He collapsed and fainted after a quarter of an hour, exhausted.

……

In the endless darkness, Lu Yan looked around, but there was nothing there.

Silence, loneliness, fear

Helpless, Lu Yan could only run forward desperately until he was exhausted and lay on the ground.

Just as Lu Yan was in despair, a pair of enormous eyes suddenly appeared above him. As the eyes opened, they revealed countless blood-red pupils of all sizes, which were still trembling incessantly.

Immediately afterwards, a powerful voice came from all directions: "Outsider, believe in me, and I will bestow upon you supreme glory."

Do not resist, do not fear, from this day forward I am you, one with you.

"Who are you?" Lu Yan asked loudly.

"I am the Demon God, or rather, the will of the world," a powerful voice replied to Lu Yan.

"Then can you let me go? I'll give you anything, spirit stones? Demon stones? Pills?" If he merged with this damned demon god, would he still be himself? Lu Yan had no intention of trying.

"cannot."

What do I need to do for you to leave me?

"cannot."

"Then why did you choose me?"

"You possess the power of other worlds; find them, devour them."

"Then why don't you go to Him yourself? I'm just an ant, I can't help you at all."

"I cannot, I am already sealed away, I am too weak."

Lu Yan: ...

The real battles between big shots are far beyond my ability to participate in; for now, I can only accept my bad luck and think of another way.

"Outsider, believe in me, and I will bestow upon you supreme glory."

That phrase again. It seems the will of this damned demon god world has gone wrong and has probably entered a trusteeship mode.

"Believe in your grandma's legs!" Lu Yan couldn't help but curse, utterly speechless.

"What the hell is that?" The demon god asked, hearing Lu Yan's insults.

Lu Yan: ...

It really is a single-player mode.

Ignoring the demon god, Lu Yan began to think of a solution. The world was plunged into darkness, and apart from the demon god periodically recruiting Lu Yan, there were no other sounds.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Yan felt a chill run through his body, a bone-chilling cold that could even freeze his soul.

I slightly opened my eyes and found myself frozen in ice.

As soon as I tried to move to break free from the ice, I felt pain all over my body, not just my body, but also my soul.

"You're awake." Before Lu Yan could snap out of his daze, a familiar voice reached his ears.

"Xuefei?" Lu Yan was somewhat surprised.

"It's me." The girl walked up to Lu Yan, revealing her thin figure.

What's wrong with me?

"Something has entered your soul. That thing can affect your mind. I had no choice but to freeze your body. At the same time, I used special means to temporarily freeze your soul."

"Only in this way can you regain consciousness in a short time." Xuefei briefly recounted what happened after Lu Yan fainted.

"Thank you. How long have I been unconscious?" Lu Yan asked again.

"Three days."

"So long!" Lu Yan only felt that he had been in that dark space for a few hours, but he did not expect that three days had passed in the outside world.

"You've regained consciousness now, and I'll release you in the next few days." As she spoke, Xuefei placed her jade-like hand on the ice, causing it to melt quickly.

"Miss Xuefei, can you remove that thing inside my soul?" Lu Yan asked curiously, having nothing better to do.

"I can't remove it for you, but there are other ways," Xuefei said, shaking her head.

"Please speak, Miss Xuefei." Lu Yan was overjoyed upon hearing this.

"First, enhance your own spiritual power. Once your spiritual power surpasses its strength, you can easily eliminate it."

"Uh..." Considering that this demon god claimed to be the will of this world, and even if it was sealed, it was far beyond what a little Karami like himself could handle, he continued to ask, "What about number two?"

"Secondly, you can ask a powerful demonic cultivator to help you remove it, but this demonic cultivator must be proficient in the way of the divine soul."

"What about the third one?" There's no need to even think about it. He's just arrived in this world and doesn't know any powerful demonic cultivators.

Among the cultivators I know in the cultivation world, Qingyin is the only one with relatively strong abilities, but even she probably can't defeat this so-called demon god.

"The third is to find elixirs or magical artifacts related to the soul and spirit, and suppress that thing through external force."

"Oh." Hearing this, Lu Yan nodded. This was probably the best choice, but the Demon Realm focused on physical development and its weapon-refining and pill-refining techniques were very weak. If he wanted to find these things, he would have to go to the cultivation world.

*Smack!*

As the ice melted, Lu Yan, feeling utterly powerless, collapsed to the ground.

"How are you feeling?" Xuefei stepped forward and helped him up.

"My whole body aches, and I can't muster any strength," Lu Yan said truthfully.

"That's normal. You don't know how crazy you were. You attacked everything around you recklessly until you were exhausted from magic and physical strength. It will probably take you a while to recover," Xuefei said.

"Thank you so much, Miss Xuefei, for saving my life. I will never refuse to help you if you need my help in the future." Lu Yan sat down against a big tree and thanked Xuefei.

"Actually, you don't have to do this. I saved you hoping you could refine more antidote pills for me," Xuefei said, shaking her head.

"Don't worry, once my injuries have healed a bit, I'll refine as many antidote pills as you need."

"Yes, I dug a cave next to it, and we've been living in the cave for a while now."

"it is good."

……

Over the next few days, under Xuefei's care and with the continuous consumption of various healing pills, Lu Yan's injuries healed rapidly.

By the tenth day, it was possible to attempt alchemy.
